"Just a temporary body."
"Was I supposed to win, or was I destined to fail in misery? I know what ending I want, but life doesn't work like that."

Golden Arena, Y/n POV

Alright, show off the butterfly, explain how dangerous Empress is, and unfortunately reveal that Bianca is, in fact, a vampire. It's going to be a fun class today...

[Hart: Welcome class. Today's lesson will be covering mythological beings.]

Cardin: What the fuck is a Terrarian?!

Eve: If Mr. Winchester would like to become part of today's demonstration, he is free to join us.

Cardin swiftly takes his seat. After all, he saw what Bianca holding back was, he's not dumb enough to make all five of them mad at once.

[Hart: Thank you. As I was saying; I'll be talking about mythological beings from Terraria. Terraria is another dimension beyond the Distortion. The Distortion is a dimensional chaos with no order. Regardless, all of us are Terrarians. However, Bianca and Eve are special cases; ones a robot tend the other is a vampire.]

Jaune raises his hand, Raechel points in his direction.

Jaune: Is she the one sneaking around at night?!

Everyone turns towards Bianca, who's sweating underneath her umbrella.

Me: Answer the question.
Bianca: Sometimes... it's not like I'm going into dorms or anything! I have standards!
Me: Yes, you prefer fish. Such high-class standards.

[Hart: Moving on. Our world has many boss monsters as some of you have already encountered. Some of these are actually demigods or gods period who can send even Bianca here packing.]
Bianca: Hey! I've fought the Devou-

Me: Such as the Empress of Light.

Bianca:... I've fought her before... at night...

Raechel: This butterfly (holds up a bottle containing a Prismatic Lacewing) is the Empress's favorite, harming it will call her to you, and promptly have you learning that Light doesn't mean harmless. If you want to see us fight her, come back here tonight-

A gunshot sounds alongside glass breaking.

[Empress of Light has awoken!]

Bianca POV

["Exchange Student" groupchat
Bianca: Which one of you just did that?
Mercury: I was kicking my feet up and accidentally fired. Oops
Cinder: Didn't you just say you've fought her before?
Bianca: At night, when she's weaker. During the day even the absolute strongest Terrarian will be one-shotted. And I'm pretty sure Remnant humans don't have multiple lives.
Mercury: Oh fuck.]

Me: Alright class, Eve and I will try to draw her away from here before we die so that you may be able to evacuate-
???: Excuse me.

Everyone looks to the top of the arena, where the Empress of Light is casually hanging her legs over the side of the wall.
