They managed to reach the Laboratory after a few minutes of walking.
Dipper was thankful that adventuring in Gravity falls helped him in increasing his stamina because with how much they walk, his old self would have definitely collapsed.
'Just how big is this school that the rooms are so far away'
He whined as he stood in front of another door. The door was relatively normal in size but was colored a shade of purple.
"And this is the door to the Laboratory, as much as I would like to show you inside, it's not allowed without a Staff or teacher in presence"
You could see the disappointment in Claude's eyes as he apologized to the twins and Mabel just could not let the teen be saddened.
"Don't worry Claude! It's okay plus we were getting tired anyway. Also it's almost lunch! I'm starving!"
Claude's mood lightened up and he guided the twins back towards the Cafeteria.
Dipper looked at his sister and noticed her staring at Claude with those kind of 'eyes' and knew that she had a crush on Claude.
Dipper resisted the urge to face palm and checked his phone for the time.
When the screen opened he noticed the time was already 11:00 AM and decided to have lunch too.
---------------
After eating lunch, the three of them ventured to the front of the Head Mistress's office(Dipper shivered at the idea of being sent in there), the two classrooms which were separated from each other to the point of them being in different wings (which were empty, Claude explained to them that their was currently no classes today because it was Sunday),the library (Dipper took one look inside and Mabel had to forcefully dragged him away), the Art room(now it was Dipper's turn to forcefully dragged Mabel away), the botany house outside the Academy building, the training area which was located in an empty field outside, filled with weird mechanism and charms thay they didn't have a clue how it works.
And finally they arrived at the last destination of the day, The Summoning Templum.
But they were only allowed outside.
"Claude why is it forbidden to go inside?"
Mabel asked as she stared at the pitch black door covered on ancient runes.
Dipper himself was questioning this too because from what he heard from Claude ,unlike the Shed that has familiars inside, the laboratory with many delicate and possibly hexed things, and for obvious the reasons, the Head mistress's office, the Summoning Templum didn't really contain anything inside for when someone planned to do a summon, they would bring everything that they need with them inside instead.
Claude watched the door with complicated eyes then turned towards the twins with his normal always smiling calm expression.
"Well, the only thing you two need to know that this place is the most dangerous of all, within the Daemonium Corvus Academy"
Dipper's spine tingled with fear at the thought of what kind of horrors could happen within that chamber.
Then they heard a beeping sound and Claude took out his phone.
"Oh, the Head mistress is calling us over for a final welcoming. Come on, let's go to her office"
The twins didn't have much trouble now since they had already toured the Academy and had seen the location of the Head mistress's office.
When they reached the corridor where the Head mistress's office was, they saw that two students were already waiting there.
One was a teen girl with a hair a dark shade of red and her tanned skin complimented her uniform.
She looked about the same age as Claude but their temperaments couldn't be any more different.
Just standing from where they were, they could already fill the irritation dripping from the teen, her hands were over her chest and her expression literally screams 'I am so done with this shit'.
She was obviously a hot-headed tomboy.
When her sight shifted on them, they could see dark obsidian eyes glaring.
"Took ya guys long enough! I'm leaving now, I still got somethings to do. Take this squirt over here would ya"
And with that she turned hills and left.
The twins them settled their sights to who the teen was talking about and saw Stephen with a deep frown on his now exposed face, since the boy wasn't wearing his hoodie.
"Haha, same old Clarissa"
Claude gently laughed off beside them and the twins looked at him with confused eyes.
"She's a friend and rival of mine since the two of us arrived at this school 3 years go"
Mabel's eyes widen as she realized something.
"Then this is your last year on the Academy!"
She exclaimed in surprise then nodded to confirm her.
"Yes Mabel, this is our last year before we graduate and become full fledged Practitioners. Now then, how about we not make the Head mistress wait any longer"
The twins then followed after Claude as he approached Stephen and introduced himself.
Stephen showed him some respect and he shifted his sight to the twins, the 3 had a staring contest before Stephen looked away and clicked his tongue.
Dipper felt greatly offended and so was Mabel but decided to not to anything against it, for their own safety.
Claude knocked at the door then the sound of the Head mistress's voice rang out, telling them to let themselves in.
The inside office looked quite normal, it was alike to the Principals office back at their own school in Piedmont but a bit darker, like everything within the Academy.
The marble floor tiles shone an eery purple while the walls were colored grey. The ceiling was colored black and if you stared hard enough, you could see some kinds of runes written on the ceiling. Shelves filled with papers and books covered the walls and a single large light source illuminated the room.
In the middle of this all was Head mistress Grendel Forner, she sat on her chair and was leaning on her table. Piles of papers and weird objects littered her table, making the table looked chaotic but weirdly stable at the same time.
The Head mistress looked at them with her sinister grey eyes and her crow's feet became more apparent as she smile at them. And like back then, her smile didn't contain any warmed or kindness at all.
"Students welcome to my office, I hope you three enjoyed your tour if the Academy"
