Ace: "Pretty cool, huh? Not like some piddling weasel."

Grim: "Myah?!"

Ace: "Pfft... Ah ha ha! I can't hold it back anymore! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Come on, you're the ones who turned orientation into such a fiasco, right? The one summoned by the Dark Mirror who can't even use magic, and the monster no on summoned at all. It took everything I had not to burst into laughter right in the middle of the ceremony!"

Grim: "H-hey! You don't gotta be a jerk about it!"

Ace: "So in the end, neither of you got admitted, and now you're janitors? Ah ha ha! SO lame!"

Grim: "What did you just call me?!"

Ace: "And you're both so clueless you don't even know who the Great Seven are. Not a one of them! Maybe before you try getting into the academy again, you ought to take a second crack at kindergarten? Ah ha ha ha ha!"

Grim: "Grrrrr..."

Y/n: "Shut up."

Ace: "Anyway, just thought I'd tease you a bit. And man am I glad I did. It's been a blast! Unlike you, I actually have classes to get to, so I'll let you get back to picking up trash. Bye!"

Grim: "Myuh-uh! You ain't walkin' away from me! It's too late for that! Myaaaaah!"

Ace: "Whoa!"

Grim: "No one makes fun of Grim, Master of Fire! I'm gonna make that explodey-head of yours explode all over again!"

Ace: "Explodey-head?! You wanna throw down with me, shorty? You got some guts. You wanna talk hair, huh? I'm gonna shave you like a toy poodle!"

Grim: "Myaaaaah!"

Ace: "Oh-ho! How do you like that?"

Grim: "H-hey! His magic winds are blowin' my fireballs off course! No fair!"

Y/n: "Life isn't fair, move on and stop this."

Student A: "What's going on over there? A fight?!"

Student B: "Oh, sweet! Get 'em!"

Y/n: "Let's all take this down a notch!"

Ace: "Awww... Can't hit me with your little fireballs?"

Grim: "Grrr... You better believe I'm about to!"

Grim and Ace fight as Y/n ignores them and cleans the walkway near the entrance.

Grim: "Take that!"

Ace: "Pfft. All it takes is a little gust to- Hah! Oh no! Now the Queen of Hearts's statue looks like it's been flame-broiled!"

Grim: "That's your fault for tryin' to divert it! You shoulda just let it burn you to a crisp!"

Ace: "Who in their right mind would ever do that?!"

Crowley: "What is going on here? Cease this at once!"

Ace: "Oh no! The headmage!"

Grim: "Not more lashings of love! We gotta get outta here!"

Ace: "OW!"

Grim: "Myaaaaah! And I'm still sore from yesterday, too!"

Crowley: "As if the likes of you could ever flee from me! Haaah... Did I not just warn you, "no more incidents"? And now you've charred one of my statues?! It's almost as though you WANT to be expelled!"

Ace: "No! Forgive me!"

Crowley: "And you, Y/n! ...Y/n?"

Crowley takes a quick glance around.

Crowley: "Y/n?!"

Eos: "The crow guy is calling you."

Y/n: "Screw him."

Y/n ignores Crowley.

Crowley storms up to her with Ace and Grim following.

Y/n: "All done."

Eos: "Yay!"

Crowley: "You were specifically told to keep Grim under control!"

Y/n: "I was finishing cleaning your school!"

Crowley: "This will not do. And you! State your name and grade."

Ace: "Ace Trappola... Freshman."

Crowley: "Then listen well, Trappola. You too, Grim and Y/n."

Y/n: "What did I do?"

Crowley: "As punishment for today's infractions, you are hereby ordered to wash a hundred windows!"

Y/n: "No way! I didn't do anything!"

Grim: "Myah?! That's what you get for makin' fun of me! This is all your fault!"

Ace: "Whaaat? I have to do it too?!"

Crowley: "Of course you do. You will meet in the cafeteria after class. Are we clear?"

Ace: "Yes sir."

Grim: "Ugh, I just can't catch a break!"

Y/n pulls out a katana.

Yuki: "No, we need him alive."

Y/n puts the katana away, annoyed.
