"...may we now invite the head girl, umi suzuki, on stage? a round of applause please!" the headmaster gestured towards the head girl's table while simultaneously clapping, followed by a curt nod to the audience to signal them to follow him.

one by one, the students rose to their feet, a chorus of claps echoing throughout the great hall. riki followed suit, but he did not clap like the others.

he surreptitiously took out his wand, bringing it under the table before turning his body to face umi, wand aimed at an angle that pointed in umi's direction.

the spell was at the tip of his tongue, everyone was distracted and all checkboxes ticked.

it was time.

just as umi was walking towards the podium and the audience went silent, the magic was unleashed in a muttering string of words.

umi tripped over nothing, and fell flat on her face, a loud thud resonating throughout the room.

when she tried to pick herself up, whispers, laughter, and giggles could be heard.

her face had morphed into that of a goblin, her human ears transforming into large, pointy ears.

umi, whose face was as red as a tomato, had not realised her transformation until she adjusted her mic. there, she realised that her hands had turned into humongous paws with sharp claws. umi's face dropped.

at that sight, the whole audience erupted into laughter.

riki snickered at his seat, a large smirk planted on his face.

his plan had succeeded.

a pat on the back, world class prankster nishimura riki!

alarm was written all over umi's face. just what happened to her? she didn't dare look at herself to see what other damages had been done.

just finish your job. you can think about the rest later.

unfortunately, that could have been the worst decision she could have ever made.

when she began her speech, a series of bullfrog-like croaks left her lips. she tried to continue, but words could not be formed at all, only croaks replaced her voice.

the audience laughed even louder, some even clutching their stomachs.

at that moment, frogs started pouring into the great hall, as if umi had summoned them with her croaks.

the students started shrieking and some even started climbing onto the tables in fear.

the great hall was in chaos.

it was a mess.

out of everyone in the hall, only one person was smiling to himself in glee.

and that was nishimura riki.

oops! sorry not sorry!

those were the exact thoughts riki had, as he indulged in the priceless reactions on the faces of the student population at the sight of frogs in the great hall.

what an amazing day.
