Once Upon a Time

Chapter 3

Ruggie:  "Aaagh..."

Savanaclaw Students:  "Gwaaah!"

Grim:  "What?! My nose is dryin' out... M-my eyes hurt!"

Jack: " Everything the housewarden touched is turning to sand?!"

"what the hell is going on" Evie spoke as the sand blurred her vision.

Leona: " That'd be my signature spell. "The King's Roar."
Ironic, isn't it? Nothin' the savanna hates more than a drought.
Yet its prince's magic desiccates everything—reduces it to sand."

Ruggie:  "B-boss... It huuurts...!"

Deuce:  "Ruggie's arm! The skin is cracking!"

Evie : "ok this is going too far, stop this bullshit now!"

Riddle: " Leona, I cannot allow this to continue! Off With Your Head!"

Grim: " Myah?! Riddle's collar bounced right off!"

Leona:  "Maybe you're some kinda prodigy, kid, but don't go thinkin' you're smarter than your elders. I aced my Protective Magic classes in my sleep."

Riddle:" Tch!"

Leona:  "Hah! How do you like that, Ruggie? Does it hurt? Is your mouth too dry to keep licking my boots? That was your finest talent, too."

Ruggie:  "Ngh... G-gaah..."

Jack: " If we don't stop him, Ruggie's gonna...!"

Yuu: "This ends right here!"

Fight

The team fights against Leona.  Jack uses his unique magic and turns into a large wolf.  Everyone was surprised but this managed to drop Leona's defenses, allowing Riddle to use his unique magic on him.

Leona:  "No... NO! You can't collar a lion!
And Jack! How did you... Transformation potions are forbidden! Where did you get that?"

Jack: " I didn't use a potion—that's my signature spell.
With it I can transform myself into a wolf."

Leona:"  Ha! What's that saying? Every dog has his day? Well I guess you had yours!"

Jack:  "Housewarden Leona, I want you to know... I only came to this school because of how much I admired you!
What happened to the man you used to be?"

Leona:  "Shut up... Your dreams got nothin' to do with me!"

Riddle: " I understand the irony of me being the one to say it, but it pains me to see you like this.
You'd be wise to confine yourself to your room and try to calm down!"

Leona:  "What do you know about how I feel?!"

Evie watched the conversation in silence.  He felt the negative energy bubbling up inside Leona.  Things are going to get ugly by the minute.

And things just got worse

Cater:  "Riddle's collar flew off?!"

Leona:  "I've been loathed since the day I was born. I've never had a place, never had a future!
None of my hard work is ever rewarded!
How could any of YOU possibly understand? MY disappointment?! MY pain?! AAAAAAAAAH!"

"This is really bad...." Evie mumble

Riddle: " If you can move, seek shelter! Ace, Deuce, help me take the wounded outside!
Lilia, please get help from the faculty!"

Deuce & Ace: " On it!"

Lilia:  "Understood. Stay strong until I return!"

Leona:  "Grrrrraaaaawwwwwrrrrr!"
