Maple's first day at school and some trouble...

At the early morning Maple got up early to make breakfast for Grim and herself. She hummed happily when she flipped the pancakes on air.

"Good morning Maple-chan!" Mordred greeted to the black armored girl.

"Ohayo Mordred-san!" She greeted him back but didnt turned around when she making breakfast plus bento for the school. Thanks to Headmaster Crowley, he provided her for with some necessities such as food ingredients, bathing items and a pair of sleep wear.

Maple fished some vegetable out of the fridge to make a small salad then a large plumb ghost appeared in the kitchen room but that didn't scared her since she used to see ghosts at the graveyard when she was little and her family basically told her that the she has some blessing from Yomi or the world of death that Maple already has from the beginning even in the game.

"The headmaster said that he would come over here later with the a uniform and your books." The plump ghost whose name is Tobias informed her when she was finished for plating the breakfast over the table.

"Is that so..." Maple mumbled then a small ghost named Edmond patted her head just like the other youkais in her own world when she was small that they wanted to pinch her cheeks.

"Dont worry kiddo, the crow wanted a good care of you since you are his kinda responsible with you."

Kaede hummed when she asked them, "Could someone wake Grim up and tell him to get down to eat breakfast please?" The ghosts looked at the heaven she made then cursed in silent they can not eat because they are dead and vanished at the ceiling.

Three minutes later a distant yowl could be heard before a few thumps followed. Soon, the three ghost came through the ceiling again and Maple smiled brightly for her thanks.

The girl could hear the scampering of paws before Grim swerved into the kitchen and his eyes widened at the breakfast spread laid before him. Maple giggles that Grim gluped at the food.

"Come now Grim is time to eat!" She said to him then she summoned Syrup, the green small turtle. 'Well since this is a world were Syrup is real now. Its not a problem to keep him outside and wanted to spend time with them!" She thought happily when the two animals digged in to the wonderful small feast she created and Grim bowed to her as if she was a queen of food.

"I will follow you everywhere now!" He declared and took another bite of the pancake. Syrup coed her with its glowed eyes that its very happy over the food.

She looked at them and coed how cute they ate when suddenly rang on the door. Maple headed towards the front. The headmaster stood at the porch in the same clothes as last night and in his hands was a uniform and a bag which Malple guessed was her new books. She was curious and wanted to take a look at the books given that magic must have different subjects than what she was used to in her school.

'Kanade would love to read these books and achived in his magic cube' The black haired girl thought happily yet sad about her friends in her world.

"Good morning! How was your first night here?" Crowley greeted her and Maple smiled at him like a child when suddenly flowers appeared behind her which Crowley silently questioned if that one of her magic.... Oh well this is harmless anyway.

"Good Morning to you to headmaster! I really slept well on my first night with Grim and Syrup!" Maple saluted cutely which the headmaster chuckled.

"That's good to know Maple since it is my responsibility to good care of you or else someone would toture me into..." He coughed that Maple tittled her head in confusion.

At her world

Kaede's parent looked at their son who nodded. "Kazuma, we're hoping to come along but we have works here to do. So... Don't worry about the university we will covered the fees and make sure our cute daughter didn't draw some weird boys with her charm."

He gave them a thumps up then the black haired man cutted the dimensional rift with his knife and jumps in it. Their parents waved at him and also gave him premission to eliminate who harmed one of their precious children.

Back to the Twisted Wonderland

Crowley felt a sudden chill and paused before handed her the bags to her, "Here are your clothes and your books for school. I have also included a wallet with some Madol inside so you will not be without money. Unfortunately, as I do not have your information, I am unable to prepare your ID card until later."

Taking note of what she assumed to be the term for currency in her head, she nodded cheerfully and thanked him then Grim and Sryup climbed at her shoulder since they are finished their breakfast. "I will take it a good care of it!" The black haired girl said with her cute smile which Maple charmed him a bit.

"Now that is done," The man tapped his staff on the floor, "I must be off. The new term will begin in an hour and I must be off to finish the final preparations. While no classes begin today, information must be given out to all the students. I will meet with you later for your ID."

After giving her the directions to how to get to the school as well as a few other instructions about the belongings she was just given with, Crowley turned on his heels and left.

Maple blinked and shared a glance with Grim and Syrup before shrugging and heading to the kitchen to clean then she tapped at her status profile for equip the school uniform.

Grim awed at her that the black armored girl quickly changed her outfit just with the pale blue screen that Maple tapped on it.

NRC School Uniform gives you 20+ HP and 5+ AGI. No Status effect.

Maple spotted the grey cat how he looked a bit envious and she tied a black-white stripped ribbon around his neck. "Hora, hora! Does it look a bit good on you? With this you can feel like a student around here!" The shielder user encouraged him that made Grim a little better as before and he puffed in pride. "Yeah with that! I will become a great mage!"

She clapped her hands with amazed how ambiguoused Grim was and looked at the grandfather clock then she grapped the grey cat on her shoulder. "We have to hurry! We're going to be late!" Maple panicked along with Grim then suddenly the gamer screen appeared again.

[New Skill Super Speed aquirred]

'That's Sallys Skill!' She thought then grinned and warned Grim, "Hold tight Grim, Syrup this would faster and funnier this way!" With that she activated the skill and ran high speed that Grim would nearly barf and Syrup seemed not affected to this but a little sad that his friend didn't used him for now.

-------------------------

Maple rushed it to the classroom where she had in this schedule and Grim took a deep breath that it now over now. The students looked at her then blushed how cute Maple's uniform was then Crewel smacked with his wand at the table to gain attention to the dogs.

She listened with Grim as Crewel-sensei explained the curriculum to the rest of the new students and gave a packet that included all the electives she could take. He also explained that they would be required to take an afterschool club, and if they needed to take a part time job that it needed to be discussed one on one.

'Mmm. Afternoonschool clubs... Perhaps I should go to the board Game club since its fun to play with other people and I'm not good in sports...' She signed at the application paper where Maple would like to go then gave it the teacher.

The students were given the rest of the day to explore the school and take a look at the various clubs. It was a smart decision. It allowed the students to explore to their hearts extent and figure out what they wanted to do as a club.

For the mean time she had some free time and was exploring the school grounds with Grim as she browsed through the catalogue.

"Heh~. There's a lot of classes you can take. I don't recognize half of the stuff here..." She said in curiousity as Grim peered over from her shoulder.

'Defense Magic sure looks interesting... Oh they have arts to!' The black short haired girl with an ahoge on her hair thought happily which one she would enjoyed to learn.

"It's kind of weird to think your world doesn't have any magic ya know?" The monster pointed out, "Good thing you have the great Grim-sama here to help you out!"

Maple chuckled at his attempts at reassurance. She had discussed with Grim at the dorm last night about her circumstances and while he was shocked, Grim didn't shy away from her.

"That's why the headmaster would help me to go to my world while I attend this school." Maple said in her happily tone.

Grim blinked before he grinned, "By the way can we see what the cafeteria's like? I wanna see where people get the grub."

"Why not?" Maple agreed easily and the trio meandered over to the cafeteria.

The place was devoid of any students. Likely as the majority were checking out the clubs around the campus. Shielder user could appreciate how large the cafeteria was and how the furniture was placed. It was spaced very well and not cramped like some school she knew of.

It was indicative of how well off and how prestigious the school was. Not only that, but the architecture, the reverence that Grim spoke of the school, the demeanor of the seven leaders she met last night. It all pointed to the fact that Night Raven College was probably, if not, one of the top magic schools in Twisted Wonderland.

"This is the cafeteria!" Grim's eyes were sparkling, "I wonder how good the food is like?"

"Mmm. I wonder that to" Maple wondered. 'Maybe if there some poison I can snacked but that would draw some question..'

Then they heard unfamiliar voices that someone was going fighting each other. The two voices gradually grew louder and louder until a pair of students barged into the cafeteria and the Trio blinked.

"Its those boys of my same class... I wondering why they fighting each other?" A question mark appeared on her head and tried piece together what happened as the pair argued.

"Get back here!" The bluenette with a spade mark on his face snapped as he pointed a pen with a red gem embedded onto it at the red-haired boy.

"No way! If you want to get me, you have to catch me!" The red-haired boy snapped.

The blunette narrowed his eyes then out of her instinct she summoned her black shield the Replica of the Dark Night then Maple took the grey cat down. Grim was awed at their shield and she rushed at to boys when the blue haired boy wielded his pen and shot his magic at the chandelier.

"Come Forth! Cauldron!"

A cauldron appeared and seemed to fall down on the red-haired boy, but it grazed the chandelier that swung above.

"Hey! Watch where your pointing your magical pen!" The red head snapped then the chandelier falled down at him and Maple made it in time and raised her shield above to protect them.

With that the chandelier was brocken. Dust swirled around the group, causing them to cough and wheeze and wave for clean air.

When they opened their eyes, the scene that they met with made the two boys fall silent with wide eyes and Grim and Maple to heave a sigh of relief that she made it in time.

The ruined chandelier laid before them, its large frame bent, and glass scattered everywhere. Moreover, the large gem embedded within it was splintered beyond repair. without a doubt if anyone had been underneath that mess, they would have been crushed.

"You are...! Wha-?!" The red head sputtered as he tried to process what had occurred while the blunette just gazed at the ruined artifact with his mouth agape.

"JUST!"

The group snapped at the enraged form of the headmaster who stood by the entrance of the cafeteria. Maple could hear other various footsteps follow behind, most likely students to see what made that loud crash.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING?!"

The duo cringed while Grim and Maple flinched how loud he was.

'His rage was understanding...' She thought and looked at the ceilings.

'Minna... I hope you guys are okay in our world..'

"You all two decided to destroy the chandelier for what? I will expelled all of you!" He said in his angry tone as the dark blue haired boy looked despaired that he was going to expelled him and he pleaded. "Please! Anything but that! I have thing I have to do at this school!"

"You have nothing to blame but your own idiocy.." The headmaster said in frustrated.

"What you two just destroyed was an artifact that was entrusted to the school since its very founding!" The man hissed them, "It's a magic chandelier that uses candles that will burn eternally!"

"It was made by a legendary maester of magical tools!" The headmaster stood up and marched up to the duo, "And you broke it in your useless fight!"

"I will pay for all damages if I have to!" The blunette begged to the headmaster and Maple gave him a sympatic look.

"How would you be able to replace that artifact?" The headmaster scoffed, "You would not be able to compensate for it. Its historical value approximates it at least a billion madol!"

The black haired girl was shocked how much that cost and felt sorry for them.

"But can't you just fix it with magic?" The boy with the heart shaped mark yelped.

"Magic is not all powerful." Crowley began to calm down as he huffed, "What's more important is that the heart of the magic tool, the magic crystal was shattered."

"No two magic crystals are the same," Crowley sighed as his eyes closed, "The chandelier will never be lit again."

"How can that be..." The orange-haired kid moaned sadly.

"Crap..." The blue haired boy croaked, "What am I doing... What am I going to tell mom?"

The headmaster sighed before he perked up, "... That's right. There is one way. A way to fix the chandelier."

The two perked up at the sudden hope that was gifted to them.

The headmaster quickly explained how the crystal was mined in the Dwarf's mine and that if they had a magic crystal of the same kind that repairs might be possible.

"I will go find a magic crystal!" The blunette volunteered immediately but the headmaster shook his head.

"I have no guarantee that there are any magic crystals left in the mine." The headmaster murmured tapping a finger on his chin. "It has been closed for a while and it's very possible its exhausted of crystals."

"In addition," The headmaster continued, "Despite the fact that it's for the sake of redacting your expulsion, I cannot in good conscious send two students to an abandoned mine who have proven to be a danger to themselves."

The duo seemed to wilt in their place and Maple stepped in she also equiped her armor again which the two students gawked at her at the sudden change, "If someone going to supervise them. What about I going to tag along with them since I am not a student here afterall."

They all startled that the girl speaked up to them and the headmaster muttered. "Maple-chan... What are you trying to imply?"

The duo wided their eyes what is the black armored girl had going to say with her brightful grin.

Elsewhere at the school campus the tall horned man and the blue flamed man out of their instinct they are worried of the strange girl who came fom another world.

"I'm saying that me and Grim will accompany them to the mines for a chance to redact their expulsion."

The duo started in surprise and exchanged bewildered glances while the Headmaster hummed, "If you do accompany these two, I would be more assured that they would not cause too much trouble. But why volunteer? You have nothing to gain from this."

She wided her smile, "Sure I have something to gain is achance to let Grim to attend this school."

Grim looked at her with his wided eyes. "Maple..."

"Very well." The headmaster muttered and turned his gaze at the duo, "Ace Trappola, Deuce Spade, what about the two of you?"

"I'll do anything to get the expulsion rescinded!" The boy named Deuce agreed passionately as Ace sighed before his mouth set into a firm line, "It's not cool to just give up and get kicked out on the first day. I'm in."

"... Very well." The headmaster relented, "I shall give you one night. You must bring me a magic crystal by tomorrow morning or face expulsion. Are we clear?"

"Yes! Thank you very much!" Deuce thanked Crowley and Ace sighed, "No choice, let's go get the magic crystal and be done with it."

With that statement they are going to the mirror chamber, "Let's go!" Maple said with a grin and thought. 'Maybe there's something wrong if I dont go and this feeling is like when I was in a dungeon in my world at the virtual reality game... Yosh I will do my best to protect them and let Grim to attend this school!'

As they now in the mirror chamber Ace sighed, "Aaaah.. Why did it turn into something like this? Today is really not my day.."

"Now isn't the time for mumbling! Let's go!" Deuce snarked at him and casted something on the mirror, "Mirror, mirror on the wall! Light our way to Dwarfs' Mine!"

With that Maple, Grim, Syrup, Ace and Deuce were sucked at the Mirror and transported to the Dwarf's Mine.
