Chapter 4 - These bitches have staring problems!

POV: 1st person

Recap of last chapter

"I most certainly did not!" screamed Crowley out, almost offended at the accusation as he threw the doors open. As Yuu and I shuffled in the room the red head spoke up again. "Ah, speak of the devil." "If you must know, I was searching for the new students who'd failed to show for orientation. You are two the only ones 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 said accusingly to us.

Me and Yuu stepped up to the mirror that looked strangely familiar. 'Wait isn't this the mirror from Snow White? What is it doing here?' "State your name." I snapped my neck towards the mirror again as I was looking around the room again. "Yuuken Enma", I hear him say. "Yuuken... The nature of your soul is... ...... ...... ...unclear to me" the mask in the mirror said. "What did you just say?" asked Crowley in disbelief and shock. The mirror answered; "I sense no magical power from this one. Soundless. Colorless. Shapeless. Utterly vacant. Therefore, no dorm would be appropriate." 'Oh damn... Welp! Sucks to suck I guess' is what immediately went through my head as bad and rude as it may sound. 

"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 stated.  Grim somehow got free from the grasp of the whip as he screamed out; "Mmmph! Nnnrgggh... *GASP!* ME! Let ME have this student's seat!" 'Are we seriously gonna have trouble? really? I didn't even get a chance to get sorted T-T' I thought. "Not so fast, you hyperactive weasel!" Crowley shouted as if he had some serious beef with Grim. 

"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!" 'And he says he isn't a cat? WHY DO YOU KEEP COMMENTING CAT PUNS YOU STUPID FUCK, THIS IS GOING AGAINST YOUR STATEMENTSSSS' I thought in anger and disbelief. until my spidey senses went off. 'Danger's coming!' "Everyone, get down!" Yelled I and the red head simultaneously. "Myaaahhh!" voiced Grim as he spewed fire. Almost everyone got out of the way on time, but I couldn't say the same about the kid with red eyes.

"AHHHHH! HELP! I'm on fire over here!" he yelled. I ran to help him as I ignored the rest for a moment. I webbed his robe and pulled him over to me. "Listen to me! you have to stop, drop and roll! It sounds weird I know, but it helps!" I told him calmly. He did as I said and the fire, thankfully, went out. "Thank you so much ...?" "Y/N, nice to meet you ...?" "I'm Kalim! Once again thank you so much for saving my butt... literally hehe" Kalim said with an adorable smile. 

I started paying attention again when I heard; "-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." I then heard a tablet speaking; "WTG¹ Azul. Rackin' up those participation credits." 

¹ for the people that don't know, WTG = way to go

"I'm sorry, were my instructions unclear?!" yelped the headmaster out in panic. "*Sigh* Preeetty sure you can handle catching one mangy weasel all on your lonesome there, headmage." told the guy with lion ears to the headmage. "How many times do I gotta say it? I'm Grim, spellcaster extraordinaire! I am NOT a weasel!" yelled Grim out as he ran around. "Aren't you a spunky little fellow? Riddle, would you be so kind...?" said 'Azul'. "Furry miscreant. I will abide no rule-breaking. You will be judged by my hand." said the so called 'Riddle'. 'Well that's a weird ass name, who would name their kid "Riddle"?' I questioned mentally.
