"Do you see what I have here ?"
Cyril holds out a lemon
"Don't answer! It's a lemon ! Natures.....well lemon... I like lemons,They're honest"
Cyril starts pacing his office
" You know exactly what you're getting into when you get a lemon. They will be sour, and by god they will be yellow! None of that fancy shmanshe expectations of apples or bananas.And don't get me started on limes! "
He suddenly stops and starts caressing the lemon
"Lemons are.....small yellow balls of happiness..."
Cyril suddenly stops and starts laughing.He then holds the lemon up as high as he can
"By the power vested in me I shall name this lemon Jerry! Long live Jerry,the lemon king! .."
After entering his office me and Belle sat down on a large couch that was centered in the middle of the room.Directly in front of the couch was a large desk ,behind it a large glass door that leads to a balcony.Since this is the top floor,when you go out to the balcony you have a good view of most of the school.
Cyril suddenly appears besides me and starts gently shoving the lemon on my cheek.
"What do you think of Jerry? Are you jealous of his lemon-y powers? You are aren't you! So you start plotting his assassination...you make his lemon wife fall for you ! She gets in on the plan....Then one day together with her lemon personal guards,on a day Jerry was suppose to have an outing with her...He was so busy running the kingdom but he loves his wife dearly ! So, the respectable lemon made the time! The plan starts.They took the carriage to this grassy plain with a hill,the same hill he proposed to miss lemon! oh the shame! then with his back turned, the last conversation begins.
Jerry:Sorry for not being around lately honey I've just been so busy"
Miss Lemon:......

Jerry:But no more! I've finally finished negotiations with the apples.We no longer need to go to war! Our people are going to be safe,and our child can grow up in a peaceful world.Now I can focus on you and little L and be the happy family we always wanted to be!
Miss Lemon:.....
Jerry:Honey what's wrong ? you're not talking,.....are you feeling ill ?! Should I get a doctor!?
Jerry approaches Miss Lemon
Jerry:Tell me wha-
Lemon juice suddenly stained the ground.
The silence that filled the air right after was almost deafening
Jerry:h-honey...why...
Miss Lemon:......
Jerry collapses to the floor,Panicked breathing turned to Shallow breathes.Eventually leaving nothing but betrayal and a corpse.
All that was left was a Lemon standing on a hill with a lemon juice covered dagger."
"Goddam man,What's with that depressing story?!"
I don't know what he was expecting me to say after hearing something like that.
Cyril just stares at me before laughing
"Right Right! Look at me getting lost in my own world ! I tend to get carried away sometimes"Said Cyril as he walks to his desk and puts down his lemon and faces me.He takes a deep breath.
"Let me get straight to the reason I had you come here then."Cyril starts stroking his beard
"Thanks to somebody summoning you so suddenly you are now stuck in this plane.There's no one using magic to act like an anchor in the first plane so if we attempted to send you back,more than likely you would just end up getting sent who knows where.But ! but there is good news in this."He leans in "I wouldn't leave you to fend for yourself after my daughter brought you to this plane...... How would you like to learn magic?"
"Ignore that last part, I'm not his daughter!" Said Belle
Is he fucking with me?
"Don't be so cold ! You have always been my little belle,Come on give me a hug "

I don't think there would be a reason to lie to me.We just met.
"N-no get away!" Belle jumps behind the couch and runs directly behind me,peeking at Cyril from behind my head
"W-why are you going to him for protection?! Is there something going on between you two?!"
Belle sticks out her tongue in response
" I was born in a world without magic,wouldn't I be unable to learn it ?" I said
" hm? What are you talking about?I can see the flow of magic circulating your body." Said Cyril,while looking at me with a hint of anger..
Stay calm,stay calm.Don't get your hopes up.
Belle wraps her arms around my neck and just relaxes there as she listens to the conversation
Did Cyril's face just twitch when he saw that? Must be my imagination..
"What....you don't believe me ? what kind of world do we live in where one can't believe in the headmasters word...Your body is barely adapting to the magic in this plane so right now you wouldn't able to control it.Here I'll channel some magic to you ,try to imagine your palm getting hotter and hotter and focus that heat into a ball."Cyril approaches and puts a hand on my shoulder.
suddenly I feel this strange feeling come from his hand and spread through out my whole body.
Don't expect this to work,I don't think I would be able to handle the disappointment .
I raise my right palm and imagine it getting hotter and hotter.I-i think somethings happening ,Holy shit I feel my palm getting hotter !
Suddenly there was a bright spark,blinding all three of us .When we look back at my palm.
"Pfffft T-This is the first time I've seen this." Belle starts laughing
From my palm smoke is being emitted.Every time i try to make a flame, smoke comes out instead.
"Haha...HAHAHAHA FUCK YEAH"
Fuck yes! This is fucking awesome! Fire or not this is still proof of magic ! I'm making fucking smoke come out of my hand! hahaha!
"Do you believe me now?" Cyril strengthens his grip on my shoulder
"ah fuck! ...You're squeezing kinda hard there ..."
What's with the aggression...
"How long are you going to have Belle hugging you?"
".......Let me just take care of that.."
When I tried to take Belles arms off of me she strengthens her hold
I whisper "Belle what the fuck are you doing !"
"I didn't forget about when you flirted right in front of me "
"this isn't the time...We can talk about this later,after you let go of me!"
"Nope~"
"Just get off ! Cyril is starting to get a crazy look in his eyes ! "
Cyril lets go of my shoulder and starts laughing.Oh god, this is even scarier!
"It's fine ! It's fine! I do not mind at all ....She chose you as her boyfriend it must of been for a good reason! hahaha"
He leans on his desk and grips the ends of it.Large cracks appear on the ends Cyril grabs....
"No,Cyril you gotta listen to me we aren't in a rela-"
"NOW now, no need to hide it haha I'm ok with it.Anyway let's get back on topic,I would loooooove to teach you magic but...I can't possibly do that If I don't know your raw abilities...So I will set up a type of test......yes a test mwahaha"
"Hold on what was with that evil laugh?! "
" Follow me ! I want you to suffe-I want you to pass the test already!"
Before I could respond he is already out the door.
"Belle,you asshole."
"It was done out of love."
Felt more like jealousy
We left the room and followed Cyril.
