Arctic's POV
Today I shall somehow understand the layout of this entire school, why... idk... maybe cause I'll be living here the rest of my life. Anyways I started to explore the place by myself cause everyone went out to patrol and I'm supposed to but like... come on, the Lunarians were just here yesterday and like... Cinnabar demolished them... I can bet their raging harder than kids on COD, but their probably not gonna appear. Back to my newfound exploration I stumbled into the gems sleeping quarters... damn, they get beds and I still haven't been assigned to one... welp, it's not like I've slept anytime soon, but still, I prefer one over the floor.
Third Person POV
Phos: Oh, hey Arctic, whatcha doing?
Phos asked as he leaned into Arctic's face acting suspicious of the Merc.
Arctic: Currently complaining about wanting a room.
He said as he grabbed Phos by the face and gently pushed him back.
Phos: Oh yeah, Sensei hasn't even given you one, should we ask?
Arctic: Nah, I'll be fine... besides... I'll be up at night most of the time.
Phos: Why exactly?
Arctic: I really don't know Phos...
The peppermint colored gem decided to get even closer to Arctic's face.
Phos: Maybe you can help me in some way possible.
Arctic: And that is?
He said raising an eyebrow at Phos.
Phos: Well, you see... I want to fight with the other gems... but... I break easily so I'm practically a burden.
Arctic: Welp... maybe you just have to find something that suits your fighting style Phos... it's not that to think about. Maybe you can't melee... then try range.
Phos: Range?
Arctic: How about this, the next sunspot that appears, I'll steal some arrows and a bow for you, and if you want I'll even make you a crossbow.
Phos: A crossbow?
Arctic: Yup, but I want ya to do me a favor.
Phos then leans in closer.
Phos: Which is?
The Merc then proceeds to deeply inhale.
Arctic: Can ya show me around please, it feels like a maze.
Phos deadpans but nonetheless decides to take forthwith.
Phos: Alright then.
Arctic: Noice....
Phos begins to guide Arctic around the place, he shows him the rooms, Sensei's room, the library where Arctic immediately wanted to get some books but didn't, yet... and also many other room. Eventually after a solid three hours Arctic got the hang of the place as he memorized everything. However Arctic managed to stumble into a small room in the place as his curiosity caused him to slowly open this door. He peaked inside as he saw a small rack within this dark space as Arctic creeped in. And soon enough he saw something in the corner of his eye, it was red, its name was glorified as it stood out on the shelf. Arctic grabbed it and raised it in the air
