Book 1 - The Rose-Red Tyrant: Chapter 5; A Class Escape

The next chapter name shows on screen as it turns on again "Chapter - 5; A Class Escape".

It started in the alchemy laboratory. There was a main cauldron in the middle of the room, most likely for demonstrations, with a little table near it ready to hold the ingredients for whatever potion that will be made that day. All around it in a semicircle are desks for the students to be able to watch and learn, and in multiple cabinets behind the desks lay some textbooks, as well as some of the common harmless herbs used in potions prepared beforehand.

A light black line goes across the screen saying "Period 1: Potionology" It disappears as the teacher of the class is shown on the screen.

The teacher is an adult man with mainly black hair, but a little under half on the left side is white. He has gray eyes and some black eyeshadow that accentuates his features even more. He is wearing a button down black shirt with a red tie and a half white(right) and black(left) vest overtop it with red buttons. He also has a striped black and white fur jacket on. On his hands are red gloves.

He says mainly to Yuu but also to the class "Ah. You must be my new homeroom students. Hm, that's quite the unusual coat of fur. Do make sure that you arrive properly groomed."

He then formally introduces himself "My name is Divus Crewel. You may call me Master Crewel."

Now giving out instructions he says "Now, take your seats. Class is about to begin. We're going to start with the basics. And by that, I mean beating the names and distinguishing characteristics of one hundred herbs and poisons into your tiny brains."

Pulling out an extendable cane with a red collar on the end and a red tip on the top also in black and white.

He puts the cane down and continues "The mycelia are another matter. But eventually, I'm hopeful you'll be able to take a walk without putting anything poisonous into your gaping maws. For now, I realize you have all the self-control of voracious hounds." Putting the cane in his hands again he says as a warning "But I will not abide a single student falling this class. Expect to be drilled accordingly."

Now back over to the group, Ace, Deuce are in lab wear. And although Yuu is not she's still wearing the protective gear that they could give her, since the lab outfits are given out by dorm she doesn't have one yet and Grim doesn't exactly need to wear it. As the lab coats have the symbols of the dorm they belong to on the left arm in that dorm's color and matching goggles.

Deuce says "Huh." Before asking them "So…does anyone know what a mycelia is?"

But Ace is once again pouting and moping as he says "I've never been one for like, memorizing what things are, ya know?" Grim partially agrees with Ace's statement as he says "All I care about is how to tell the yummy plants from the yucky ones."

It then switches to a normal classroom, the main thing Yuu is distracted by is that there's either a blackboard or a black whiteboard. Neither of which sit right with her.

As they're walking to their seats the black line with white text pops up again this time saying "Period 2: History of Magic ''

This class's teacher then shows up. It is a man on the elderly side of things, as his hair is mostly gray with a couple of white strands still showing out. His face is serious with his green eyes and wrinkles. He's wearing a proper high class shirt with a green pendant tying the front together. He has a macaroon color jacket with come gold accenting on it. The man is also holding a fluffy, mainly black cat with some white at the mouth, tips of its ears, end of its tail, and paws. The final thing about the cat is that it has golden yellow eyes.

The teacher introduces himself and the cat "I am your History of Magic teacher, Mozus Trein. And this is my familiar, Lucius." He then speaks about the class a little "You are here to learn the rich history of magic, and how it has sculpted the world which you now so easily take for granted." The cat seems to agree as it lets out a "Mrrrooowww…" While being pet by the teacher. The teacher, Trein continues "I grade based on classroom behavior as well as the quality of work. Don't let me catch you sleeping."

Now starting the class officially he says "Now, let us open our books to page fifteen. This section concerns the magestones discovered in the Dwarfs' Mine…" The cat lets out a "Mrrrooowww…" again as Trein continues "As knowledge and awareness of magical energy began to spread across the globe from this point, this year is considered Year One of the Magic Era." The cat, Lucius then lets out a "Mrrrooowww…" again but this time finishing it off with a yawn.

Once again it shows the group, as Yuu and Deuce are the only ones really paying attention, as Ace yawns. But it seems Yuu is the only one actually registering what's going as Deuce mumbles "Fascinating…'Dwarfs' Mine'...Mhm, mhm… 'magical energy'..." Grim was just complaining as he rhetorically asked "Maaan… When do we get to the classes where we blow stuff up with magic?"

Now moving onto the next class, that takes place on the sports field.

The black line shows up across the screen as the white text says "Period 3: P.E."

The teacher then pops up on the screen. He has brown hair and blue eyes, he's extremely muscular. He's wearing black sweatpants with some yellow/gold accents. His main under shirt is white with a red base colored jacket and the accents being gold/yellow. The main detail that could be taken into account is that over his left pec on his jacket in the same gold/yellow color is a deer with antlers.

He introduces himself as "I'm Coach Vargas, and physically educating your feeble little bodies is my responsibility."

Now giving his brief overview of what will be going down he says "Great sorcery begins with a great physique! Behold the muscles you can build with a diet of raw eggs! A great mage needs a great physical constitution! So gimme twenty laps, and a hundred push-ups!"

Once again it shows the group, and Ace and Deuce both have the P.E uniform while Yuu does not.

The uniform is basically a shirt of which the color is decided by what dorm you're in, such as Heartslabyul's being red. The other half of the uniform is a black jumpsuit that looks like the prison uniform used in movies. Deuce is properly wearing the jumpsuit, while Ace only has the bottoms on and the top part tied around his waist.

And wouldn't you know Ace is complaining again "Bleah. The forced exercise is bad enough, but meatheads like this guy drive me nuts."

But Deuce is one hundred percent excited for this class as he quietly yells "Finally! A subject I'm good at!"

But Grim is on Ace's side again as he complains as well "Explain to me the appeal of runnin' around in circles! Do I look like a hamster?"

The class finishes off as the group of four are now walking through a hallway during their break.

Deuce looks at the schedule, still figuring things out, saying to himself as well as the group "Let's see, our next class is…"

But Ace is still in an awful mood since this morning as he complains again "This so-called magic academy feels a lot like a lame, ordinary school." But he shrugs as he finds something kinda good outta this as he says "It's not exactly what I expected, but at least this collar won't be much of a problem after all."

Now looking for the person that was behind him all say about how bad the classes were he asks "You with me on that, Grim? …Hm?"

But as he looked around he couldn't spot him nearby. Yuu also takes notice of this and looks around while thinking 'Huh? Where's Grim go?' Before a sinking feeling appeared in her stomach and she said "I have a bad feeling about this…"

Deuce then spots Grim as he yells "Oh! Look out the window! I just saw a ball of fur running across the yard!"

It then moves to the window and then out of it in the courtyard as Grim is flying away saying "No way am I putin' up with this boring routine day in and day out. I'm Grim, Sorcerer Prodigy, and I don't need no one to teach me how to blow stuff up!"

It then switches back to the humans of the group as Yuu shouts, extremely angry "He's cutting class on the first day?!"

Before moving her hand up to her head and slightly in her hair as she massages her temples as she mutters quietly "The Headmage is going to be furious…"

The other two had jumped back slightly at her scream but recovered quickly as Deuce says "Boy, that guy is not a fast learner." Ace then decides it would be a good idea to tease Yuu right now as he says "Not a good look to lose your only student on your first day as perfect. Want help catching him?"

Her right eye twitches, but Ace and Deuce don't notice. She then angrily forces out "Yes, thank you!"

Ace then says "I do love the chocolate croissants at the co-op." As Deuce catches on Ace's plan and continues "I'd do it for an iced latte at the cafeteria."

She screams at the top of her lungs in her mind 'I just got to this world and I'm absolutely broke! How do they expect me to pay for those things! I also have to eat and feed Grim!' But instead of saying anything she growls and takes a deep breath.

Then as Ace still is ignorant about what just happened as he pushes her further "Grim's getting away… Do we have a deal, or what?" Annoyed, she points to Ace then Deuce as she says "Done and done!" Ace smirks as he says "Pleasure doing business."

Before he turns to Deuce and says "Now, Deuce, shall we clean up the mess made by the worst perfect to ever set foot on campus?" And Deuce replies "I can already taste that latte, Ace."

As they run off they fail to see Yuu's last eye twitch from that.

Ace now has a big net to help catch Grim, as he can't currently use magic, while Deuce just pulls out his magic pen.

The screen fades to black as "To be continued" appears before disappearing as the screen turns off.
