classes were so boring.

seriously, briar was about to fall over and just die at any given moment.

the p.e. teacher, vargas, was so overwhelming that they felt small just looking at him. it was like he had made up his mind to irritate his students as much as possible and then come to class everyday. he encouraged his students to drink raw eggs? and vargas somehow had decided to make everyone there as buff as possible, and things could not have looked worse for briar. ugh.

professor crewel was another nutcase on his own, dear lord. briar couldn't even make potions or look for ingredients without him physically breathing down their neck. and moreover, he called everyone.. puppy? was this guy an ex-dog trainer or something? he carried around a whip at all times, which really made it harder to look at him normally.

briar didn't have anything to say about professor trein. he came, he taught, and he left. he was pretty normal, especially compared to his fellow teachers. he had a cat that always seemed to be in a bad mood though, maybe it reflected trein's feelings?

the dark haired first year had managed to turn in all their assignments and complete experiments and projects successfully, so they were currently on most of the teachers' good sides. it made them glad, but there was no guarantee that the staff wouldn't change their minds at the drop of a hat.

but lessons aside, there was one more thing briar had forgotten existed. clubs!! they wanted to go around, browsing through the variety of clubs and watching how everyone interacted. it was mostly full of seniors anyway, so briar doubted they knew anyone there. since that day's classes were over, why not spend their free time looking for entertainment?

mission find briar a good club to join: start!

first on the list was the magical shift club. they peeked into the room, their eyes flitting around and observing the various people there. it was full of really.. buff people? they could see heartslabyul and savanaclaw students the most.

"hey there, freshie! looking for a chance to play magift?" a voice called out to them.

they blinked, twisting their head around to look at the friendly scarabia student standing there with a load of pamphlets in his hands. he seemed to be asking them, so briar pulled their lips up into a smile and responded. "hello.. don't mind me, i'm just searching for a club to join. i'll come back later after looking at everything else?" they offered.

they had no plans of coming back, but he didn't need to know that, right?

the senior doesn't seem to mind, giving them a grin and a thumbs up.

before they could leave, they heard a recognizable voice. '?? i think i know that person,' they thought to themselves, as they looked around, trying to locate the source of the voice. oh look— it was the little hyena boy they'd seen at the entrance ceremony! he seemed to be excitedly chattering to someone next to him.

they shifted their gaze to the person in question, and stiffened. wait, wasn't that..!?

"leona?" briar exclaimed, their eyes widening ever so slightly at the all too familiar face.
