"Was I dreaming of the sea...?"

"Mrrrghrow... The trick to tests...is if there's two choices...it's a trick question..." *Snore* Grim mumbled in his sleep.

"Rise and shine, Grim. Coming off an all-night cram session?" "MYAH! Don't surprise me like that. You'll make me forget everything I memorized!"
"Today's the last day of final exams, y'know." Grim yelled.

"You and I are still technically one student put together, so you better not tank my grades, Yuu" "This, from the last-minute crammer..." Yuu deadpanned.

Location: Classroom

"The test is over, whelps. Put your pens away and hand over your answer sheets like good little dogs."
"And with that, I do believe exams have come to a close." Crewel said.

"YEAAAH!"


"Down! SIT! Don't start celebrating yet. Any bad boys who fare poorly in their exams...
...will be given mandatory remedial lessons over the winter holidays. Consider yourself warned. Class dismissed." Crewel warned.

Ace:"Whew, FINALLY. It's over!" "I gave it my absolute best. All that's left now is to wait for our scores to come back." Deuce smiled. "Myah hah hah! No lousy test is a match for my brilliant mind." The cat boasted.

"Really? You guys usually look like your lives just flashed before your eyes after written exams. Now you're changing your tune?" Ace taunted."Heh heh. You bet your bottom Madol I am. Today marks the dawn of a new and improved me!"
"You better be ready, 'cause soon you'll all be callin' me "Galaxy Brain Grim" and beggin' for scraps of my knowledge."

"That's a bold claim, but I'm pretty confident in my performance this time myself. No offense, but I'm definitely gonna outscore you." Deuce targeted at Grim. "Says the guy who's perpetually biting his lip and parely staying above a falling grade." Ace shot back.
"Of course, this test was a piece of cake for me, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna come out on top."

"You all seem to have studied for this." Yuu said, but a little skeptical. "Pretty much, yup! This's baby-tier stuff." "Grim, you did ONE last-minute cram session." Yuu shot at the cat who was walking proudly.

"What can I say? Geniuses like me can breeze through class without havin' to slave away at their desk like you do." Grim boasted. "Anyway, exams are done and dusted. I'm gonna hit up the Track Club." Deuce cracked his knuckles. "Y'know, I could stand to get in some exercise at the Basketball Club myself. Let's break this huddle for today, guys." Ace waved and started walking away.

"Let's head back to the dorm, Yuu. I'm dead on my feet after that all-nighter." Grim dragged Yuu away.

Location: 2nd Classroom

"Whew. Finally we got that over. Thanks for the tutoring lessons Ev." Freme smiled at Everin who was just behind him. "Mm... I think I'm gonna have a look over at the Board games club. Idia senpai wanted to introduce me to this new game he foud called "Jenshin Impact" If I remember correctly." "Jenshin Impact huh? Never heard of it. Speaking of clubs, I think I'm gonna hit up the track club to get some runs done. Need to improve my stamina.." Freme stretched.

"Right, don't be too late now. We have shifts later. Otherwise Housewarden Azul will be mad." "Ooh.. I don't want floyd to squeeze me... I'll be quick.."

Location: Mostro Lounge

Azul:"Why did you ignore my summons yesterday? You clearly don't understand the position you're in."

"L-look, I was just dealing some, uh, stomach problems..."

"Is that ture? Because lying would not do you any favors, I assure you."

"Yes, it's true! I was sick to my stomach."

"Jade, why don't you help motivate our friend here to speak a bit more honestly?" "As you wish. Now, now, there's no need to flinch. This won't hurt one bit."

"If you could look my way? Yes, just like that, thank you. Shock the Heart."

"Hrk! Wh-what was that?!"

"Now, let's try this again. Why didn't you respond to Azul's summons yesterday?"

"Because I was sick...
...sick of running myself ragged doing the dirty work of a low-down, black-hearted cheater like Azul, that is!"
"Of course I wasn't actually sick to my stomach. That's just an excuse!"

"Grk! What in the world?! My mouth started moving faster than my brain, and... Oh crud!"

"There we have it-your true feelings on the matter."

"Oh, dear... Goodness gracious me. Why, I'm positively wounded."(Crowley is rubbing off you.)

"Here I granted you a wish out of benevolence rivaling that of our venerable Sea Witch herself...
...and you would turn around and call me-what was that again? "A low-down, black-hearted cheater"?"

"I-I'm sorry! This is all a misunderstanding, I swear!"

"Hmph. Spare me your sniveling. Floyd, you're up." "You finally done? Can I squeeze him now?"

"Be my guest. Wring him out with all your heart." "Can do."

"W-wait! Give me just one more chance! I promise I'll-GYAAAGH!"(is Octavinelle actually murdering students)

"Hmph. These deadbeats just love skimping on their payments, don't they?
When you buy something, you pay for it. When you incur a debt, you pay it back. That's just common sense." "I couldn't agree more, sir."

"I can only hope this year provides me with better clients than the last..." "Heh heh. I look forward to seeing those final exam scores come in."

"... Oh Azul... Is this really the way you've decided to take..?"
