The Winged Child

Prologue - Chapter 10: Mutual Aggression

***Main Street***
3rd POV:
“Pretty cool, huh? Not like some piddling weasel.” Ace jokingly insults. “Myah?!” Grim says in shock. “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 one summoned at all. It took everything I had not to burst into laughter right in the middle of the ceremony!” Ace exclaimed.

“H-hey! You don't gotta be a jerk about it!” Grim says. “So in the end, neither of you got admitted, and now you're janitors? Ah ha ha! SO lame!” Ace laughs. “What did you just call me?!” Grim asks in anger. “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!” Ace laughs.

Grim growls. “Okay, let's all just…” Yuu tries to intervene. “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!” Ace interrupts. “Myuh-uh! You ain't walkin' away from me! It's too late for that! Myaaaaah!” Grim says as he blows fire at Ace. “Whoa!” Ace exclaims while dodging Grim’s fire.

“No one makes fun of Grim, Master of Fire! I'm gonna make that explodey-head of yours explode all over again!” Grim exclaims. “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!” Ace yells. “Myaaaaah!” Grim exclaims while blowing more fire at Ace. “Oh-ho! How do you like that?” Ace asks as he uses wind magic to deflect Grim’s fire.

“H-hey! His magic winds are blowin' my fireballs off course! No fair!” Grim whines. “What's going on over there? A fight?!” a student exclaims. “Oh, sweet! Get 'em!” another student encourages. “Let's all take this down a notch!” Yuu exclaims, trying to stop the conflict. “Awww... Can't hit me with your little fireballs?” Ace mocks. “Grrr... You better believe I'm about to!” Grim yells.

C.C. POV:
‘20 minutes, I sleep for 20 minutes and I’m woken by yelling.’ I look around and see the ginger boy- ‘Ace, his name is Ace C.C.’ ‘Oh, Okay, thanks Fredbear’ I see Ace and Grim fighting. Grims fire being shot at Ace and Ace deflecting it with.. The wind? ‘I’m not gonna question it.’

“Take that!” I hear Grim yell. I see him blast fire at Ace, who directs it towards one of the statues. ‘The Queen of Hearts….I’m done with this, poor Bubba’ I put my hand out toward the statue and the fire teleports up into the sky. “Pfft. All it takes is a little gust to- Hah! Oh no! The Queen of Hearts's statue was almost flame-broiled!” Ace exclaims in fear.

“That's your fault for tryin' to divert it! You shoulda just let it burn you to a crisp!” Grim angrily exclaims. “Who in their right mind would ever do that?!” Ace yells back as Crowley appears. “What is going on here? Cease this at once!” Crowley demands. ‘Why does he look like a pissed mom? Oh, he has the whip, oh well’ “Oh no! The headmage!” Ace exclaims in fear. “Not more lashings of love! We gotta get outta here!” Grim yells in fear.

Their escape was quickly stopped when Crowley whipped them. “OW!” Ace exclaimed in pain. “Myaaaaah! And I'm still sore from yesterday, too!” Grim cried. “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 almost charred one of my statues?! It's almost as though you WANT to be expelled!” Crowley yells in anger. “No! Forgive me!” Ace cried.

“And you, Yuu. You were specifically told to keep Grim under control!” Crowley exclaims. “I tried to stop him, but…” Yuu trails off. “This will not do. And you! State your name and grade.” Crowley demands impatiently. “Ace Trappola... Freshman.” Ace mumbles. “Then listen well, Trappola. You too, Grim and Yuu. As punishment for today's infractions, you are hereby ordered to wash a hundred windows!” Crowley demands.

“Myah?! That's what you get for makin' fun of me! This is all your fault!” Grim blames. “Whaaat? I have to do it too?!” Ace whines. ‘Suffer. Your lucky its him punishing you, you got Bubba in trouble’ “Of course you do. You will meet in the cafeteria after class. Are we clear?” Crowley asks demandingly. “Yes sir.” Ace says. “Ugh, I just can't catch a break!” Grim whines.

***Bonus Short***
C.C. jumps out of Yuu’s arms and stretches. Then he walks up to Ace, who unknowingly looks down and mocks him. C.C., who was very done with his crap ever since he got Yuu in trouble jumps up and slaps him before following the angry Crowley to class.

(A/n: should I make a Q&A after every Arc? Would you all like that? Ex. The Prologue, Red Tyrant etc.)
