Into the Madness

⚰️ Chapter 2: Ceremony Breaking

***Mirror Chamber***

3rd POV:

"We're done with orientation and dorm assignments? All right, new students—let me be clear. At Heartslabyul House, I am the law. Break the rules, and it's off with your head!" the red-haired boy exclaims in authority. "Well, that ceremony was as boring as ever. I'm going back to the dorm. If you're in Savanaclaw House, follow me." the boy with lion ears said after yawning. "New students! Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your achievement. As dorm leader of Octavinelle House, I am honored to have the opportunity to support you in what I hope will be a fulfilling campus experience." a boy with glasses says.

"Hey, does anyone know where the headmage went? He disappeared midway through the ceremony..." a handsome boy mutters. "Some headmage he is." says a sarcastic voice from the tablet. "Maybe he had a tummyache?" a red-eyed boy offers. "I most certainly did not!" Crowley says after bursting through the door.

Yuuka's POV:

"Ah, speak of the devil." I hear a voice say as we enter. "If you must know, I was searching for the new student who'd failed to show for orientation. You are the only one who has yet to be assigned a dorm. Step up to the Dark Mirror, and be quick about it. I'll watch your weasel." Crowley says while pushing me infront of the mirror. "State your name." the dark mirror states after Grim growls. "I'm Yukka." I state. "Yuuka...The nature of your soul is..................unclear to me." the mirror states. "What did you just say?" Crowley asks in surprise.

"I sense no magical power from this one. Soundless. Colorless. Shapeless. Utterly vacant. Therefore, no dorm would be appropriate." the mirror states. "Are you suggesting that the black carriage went to receive a person who cannot even use magic? But that is absurd! The student selection process has not erred once in its century of existence! How could this have happened?" Crowley asks in shock as Grim breaks free. "Mmmph! Nnnrgggh... *GASP!* ME! Let ME have this student's seat!" Grim exclaims after breaking free.

"Not so fast, you hyperactive weasel!" Crowley exclaims after breaking out of his shock. "Unlike that human, I can actually use magic! So let me be a student here! Look, I'll show you! My spells're the cat's meow!" Grim exclaims, getting ready to blow flames. "Everyone, get down!" I hear the red haired boy exclaim before doing as he demanded and getting low right before the fire was started. "AHHHHH! HELP! I'm on fire over here!" the red eyed boy exclaims in fear. "Someone catch that blasted animal before it sets the entire school ablaze!" Crowley exclaims in anger.

"Ugh. Can I go now, or...?" the boy with lion ears asks lazily. "Oh? I thought you fancied yourself a hunter. Go and help yourself to that plump little morsel!" the handsome boy snapped back. "Too much effort. Do it yourself." the boy with lion ears states in dismissal. Through the chaos I hear a giggle, but when I look around for the owner of the sound I see no one. "Allow me to handle this, Headmage Crowley. If none of you are up to the task of catching a small animal, I will accept the responsibility." the boy with glasses states. "WTG Azul. Rackin' up those participation credits." I hear a voice from the Ipad say. "Hey, um, my butt's still on fire... Could someone maybe put this out?!" the red eyed boy asks, a bit calmer. I snap out of my shock and make my way over to him, using my robes to put out the fire.

"I'm sorry, were my instructions unclear?!" Crowley yells in anger. "Preeetty sure you can handle catching one mangy weasel all on your lonesome there, headmage." the boy with lion ears says after yawning. "How many times do I gotta say it? I'm Grim, spellcaster extraordinaire! I am NOT a weasel!" Grim exclaims from across the room. "Aren't you a spunky little fellow? Riddle, would you be so kind...?" Azul asks. "Furry miscreant. I will abide no rule-breaking. You will be judged by my hand." the red haired boy states firmly. Then I hear a voice say, "Tea Time!~" followed by laughter.
