Chapter 6 《Chase, Argument, Lunch》

It was finally lunch break! All 5 of us were headed to the cafeteria. "This so-called magic academy feels like a lame, ordinary school," Ace sighed, "It's not exactly what I expected, but at least this collar won't be much of a problem after all. Are you with me on that Grim? Huh?" Grim had disappeared from everyone's sight! "Huh? Where'd Grim go?" Yuu asked. "Oh! Look out the window!" Deuce yelled, "I just saw a ball of fur running across the yard!" Everyone turned their heads towards the window. Grim was running around the courtyard! "He's cutting class on the first day?!" Yuu yelled. "Boy, that guy is not a fast learner.." Deuce sighed. "Not a good look to lose your only student on the first day as prefect. Want help catching him?" Ace suggested with a smug expression. "Eeh! Yuu's a prefect?! When?" I questioned them! "Oh, we forgot to tell him! Yuu became a prefect after we gave the headmaster the stone." Deuce explained. "Thank you for explaining. Please continue your conversation." I said.

"Anyways, so do ya need help catching Grim?" Ace continued. "Yes, thank you!" Yuu responded. "I do love chocolate croissants at the co-op." Ace suddenly beamed. "I'd do it for an iced latte at the cafeteria." Deuce added. Wow, they were trying to make Yuu go bankrupt. It probably wouldn't be fun for them. Those two continued to taunt Yuu. While they kept on going, I decided to catch Grim. I leaped out the window and secured my landing with a wind glider. "Did you really think you could skip school?" I yelled as I chased Grim. "Myah?! You're not really gonna haul me back, are ya!" Grim hissed. He had tried to outrun me. Fortunately, his tiny legs began to grow tired, and he was slowing down. "Got'cha!" I shouted. Yuu and the other came running over. "Darn, you beat us to it." Ace cried. "Mrrah! I've had it with these boring classes." Grim complained. "Then you'll never become a great mage!" Yuu scolded Grim. "Seriously, I thought you wanted to attend this school to become a magician, not a dropout."  I added. "UGH! When did you two get all bossy?" Grim screamed.

We ended up holding Grim all the way to the cafeteria so he couldn't escape our sights. "Wooo! Lunchtime at last!" Grim cheered. It was as if he had never attempted escaping the school. "Whoa! They got some good lookin' grub!" He drooled. Yuu was looking at the options. "Ooh, a buffet. That's fancy." They exclaimed. "Look how fluffy those omelets are! Ooh, grilled chicken! And a bacon-and-egg tart!" Grim yelled in excitement. Unfortunately, I had no idea what most of those foods were. "Shhh! Dude, inside voices! Where was this energy earlier today?" Ace shushed him. "Yuu, grab me the grilled chicken! There's only one left! And an omelet, too. And that jelly-filled bread. Just fill your whole tray with 'em!" Grim ordered. Yuu had left to get Grim his lunch

Two guys ran into Grim. "Hey! Watch where you're going!" He yelled at Grim. "M-my carabonara! You broke the yolk!" One of them cried. "Whoa, that's messed up! Poking the egg is the best part. You better make this right, pal!" The other one yelled. "Honestly, how immature. Teaming on a young creature all because of food.. and I thought the students here were just as good as the ones from Sumeru Akedemiya. But you two have shown using your behavior that you are worse than the treasure hoarders.." I cut into their argument. "Hey! That's no way to speak to an upperclassmen!  Catch me outside, and I'll teach you some respect!" One of them shouted. "Um, excuse me, sir, but it said in the handbook that fighting with magic was prohibited..." Deuce attempted to break the fight. "Fighting? You got it all wrong. This is just me helping some ignorant freshmen know their place." One of them smiled. "Now, let's see just how many ways there are to skin a cat!" The other yelled. They had both charged at us. Using my control over water to my advantage, I had added enough for them to slip and fall. "Oh? You just suddenly fell down. You two are so clumsy!" I said. When one of them attempted to get back up, he slipped and fell back down. "Come on, let's go." I told the three of them. "Oh, Yuu, you're back. Let's go find somewhere to sit down and eat." We all went to an empty table
