《Winter Wonderland》The Merchant from the Depths: part 22

"Hold it right there, Grim! You're not gettin' off easy today, you hear me?!" Ace shouted from down the hall, chasing after Grim.
"Myeh heh heh! Maybe you shoulda put your name on it if you wanted it that bad!" Grim teased, continuing to run away from the heart boy.
"why, you...!"
"Are they seriously fighting again?" Y/n said, walking with Yuuna towards Deuce who was leaning against a wall, patiently waiting for the two to stop fighting, which it seemed like it wasn't gonna end anytime soon.
"What is it this time?" Yuuna asked, standing next to Deuce.
"Seriously, don't they ever get tired of this?" Deuce sighed. He was also done with Ace and Grim's bullshit.
"Hey, Y/n!" Ace shouted, running towards the three once he noticed them. "You're the prefect, so do some prefecting!" Ace pointed towards Grim. "This lousy furball swiped the doughnut I bought and ate it! AGAIN"
"A...doughnut...?" Y/n rose a brow, having a dumbfounded expression when Yuuna chuckled a bit at the oh-so 'unfortunate' situation.
"I didn't steal nothin'. I just saw a snack left abandoned on a desk and gave it a home outta the goodness of my heart" Grim smirked mischievously.
"It's not abandoned if it's on somebody's desk!" Ace shouted. "If you're gonna keep runnin', I've got some wind magic up my sleeve with your name on it" Ace grinned, taking out his magic pen.
"Oh YEAH? Try me! I've got fire magic ready to-" Grim was about to blow fire but then Ace and Grim got reminded of something "...Erk!"
Both of them stopped talking. It seems like they were reminded of the school rules, or so it may have been seen.
"Y-know what? I think I'll skip the magic today. I don't wanna get sent to wash even MORE windows" Ace sheepishly scratched the nape of his neck.
"H-heh. For once, I think you've got the right idea" Grim crossed his arms. "I'd be embarrassin' myself if I was the only one usin' magic, so I'll let you off easy this time"
"...Hm?" Y/n was confused.
"Both of you, knock it...off?" questioned Yuuna. She was also very confused.
"Wow. It's not every day I see you two de-escalate one of your fights without outside intervention." Deuce said. "Normally, you go at it until the classroom's blasted to bits and the headmaster comes storming in," Yuuna added.
"Hey, what kinda punk would I be if I started fighting with a raccoon over one lousy doughnut?" Ace asked.
"Why do you always have to get in one last smark remark?!" shouted Grim.
"As the argument continued" Y/n mumbled, still having a dumbfounded expression.
Classes have begun.
"It's time for class to start, whelps. Get to your seats. First, I'll pass back your tests" Crewel announced, as the students were hyped to receive their tests to see their scores.

"This is it- the moment of truth." Deuce let out a breathe that he didn't know he was holding.
"Myah hah! Gimme! I want that test, Prof!" Grim cheered.
"Settle down, Grim. Stay. STAY!" Crewel ordered the raccoon, like some sort of dog. "I'll call you by your class number. Number one!" he shouts. Soon after, everyone had received their test papers.
"SWEET! I got a 92!" cheered Ace, showing his score to Yuuna to congrats him.
"I got an 88! I never thought I'd see the day I scored over 80" Deuce looked like he was about to cry from happiness.
"Check i tout, Yuuna, Y/n! I got a 85!" Grim yelled, clearly excited.
"You guys rock!" Yuuna congratied.
"Now I won't get held back a year!" cheered Deuce.
"By the way, what about you two?" Ace asked the females.
"I've got a 100" Yuuna sheepishly said, her face growing red. Crewel congratulated her when he gave Yuuna her test paper and was very happy that Y/n tutoring paid off.
"Good job! Perfect score!" Deuce raffled Yuuna's hair. Then everyone turned towards Y/n.
"What?" she questioned.
"What was your score, [nickname]?" asked Yuuna.
"Oh? I got a 500" she answered plainly.
"500?!" everyone gasped in surprise, causing the Levia-fae to cover her ears.
"Geez! Just keep yelling now wouldya?!" Y/n asked angrily, causing the group to be quiet.
"H-how did you manage to get a 500%?" Ace asked.
"It's because I complained that the test was too easy, so the headmaster have me take a university-level exam instead" Y/n explained.
"UNIVERSITY-LEVEL?!"
"HOW ARE YOU THAT SMART, Y/N?!" Grim screeched.
"If you guys lived as long as I have, you will gradually be more intelligent," Y/n said, using magic to have Grim float into Yuuna's arms. "Perhaps if you three attended my tutoring sessions, you would get a higher score, like Yuuna here"
"You appear to have studied a great deal for this exam. Yes...A great deal indeed, compared to your quiz scores." Crewel sigh, looking at his students. "In fact, the class average has gone up to a degree one might call...unusual" he mumbled, catching Y/n attention.
"What do you mean, Professor?" she asked.
"The average test scores across every level of potionology are over 90. Professor Trein and Sanderson have remarked upon positive trends in their magic history and world history classes" Crewel told the group.
"Say what?!" asked a shocked Deuce.
"Myaah?!" Grim yelped.
"uh-oh. I don't like where this is going..." Ace mumbled. "Same.." Yuuna agreed.
"The school's fifty highest achievers will be posted in the hall. You can look forward to seeing that shortly." Crewel said. "Now, let us begin today's lesson. Open your textbooks," he ordered.
"Okay, where am I in the top fifty?" Grim yelled, trying to see the bulletin board to see the scores. After all, classes had just ended.

"With an average score over 90, we've gotta be in there, right?" Ace asked, trying to get another look as Yuuna and Y/n were in the back. With some magic and Y/n sharp sight, she saw that Yuuna was ranked 3rd place in the top fifty.
"First ten places...nope. Twenty...hope. Forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty...nope." Grim said, counting down from top to bottom to find his student number. "Wait a minute- I ain't in here at all!" he yelled in despair.
"N-neither am I..." Deuce sighed.
"Hoold up. There's a list of the total scores each top achiever got across all subjects. The top thirty scored perfect marks- 500 points!" Ace said, pointing to a separate board with the top thirty. Surely, Y/n was on there, right? Not at all.
"PERFECT MARK?!"
"B-but not only that...there is the top first student who scored the highest points out of everyone. It says...1000 points?!" Ace exclaimed in shock.
"What?! How is that possible to score 1000 points?!" Grim asked, hopping on top of Ace to get a better look.
"A-ace...G-grim...look at the name..." Deuce pointed out, pointing to the name who got 1000 points, the student who scored the highest score out of the whole school is...
"Y/N?!" Ace, Deuce, and Grim looked at Y/n who was standing next to Yuuna, sweatdropping. Yuuna was also looking at Y/n in shock.
My goodness. Even Crowley almost fainted when he put up the scores.
"Wow... you're so smart [nickname]! You're the top student!" Yuuna praised.
"O-oh...uh, thank you?" Y/n thanked, not knowing what to say. After all, THIS DIDN'T EXSIT IN THE GAME SO HOW?!
"B-but...if I don't make it into the top fifty, that counts as a breach of contract!" Grim said in a shaky voice.
Both Ace and Deuce stopped panicking about how Y/n is literally the smartest person in the whole school. "Wait, 'contract'? Oh no. Grim did you...?" Ace looked at Grim in disbelief.
"Judging by the look on your face, Ace, don't tell me you also-" Deuce was cut from the sound of something growing from the boy's head. "Bwooop!"
It was an Anemone.
"MYAH! What in the world?!" Grim yelped in surprise. "A sea anemone just sprouted outta my head!" he cried.
"G-Grim, you made a contract too?! You big cheater!" Deuce yelled at Grim, who also had a sea anemone on his head.
"Yeah, whatever, Deuce. You're just as guilty, keepin' your friends close and your anemones closer over there!" Ace said, smacking Deuce's back.
"I'll just give it a quick tug, and...OW!" Grim yelped in pain when he tried to pull off the anemone. "It's not comin' out!"
"What's with this influx of sea life? The Anemone looks like a peni-" Y/n smacked a hand over Yuuna's mouth, keeping her from finishing the word, causing Ace and Deuce to scold her in anger with a blush spread across their faces. While Y/n snickered a bit.
"I came to see what all the commotion was. Why am I not surprised it's you guys? What're you doing?" the voice asked. It was Jack.
"Jack, did you make a contract too? Wait...you don't have an anemone!" Deuce asked, noticing that Jack indeed did not have a anemone.
"So much for looking like a bad boy. You're more of a square than Loosey-Deucery over here!" Ace huffed, crossing his arms.
"Okay, what? I'm completely lost here. What are you talking about, and what are those things growing outta your heads?" Jack asked.
"Yes. Please explain to us" Y/n and Yuuna said in unison, making a scary smile.
"Look, it's uhh...MROW?!" Grim yelped. "What now? This dang anemone's yanking my head!".
"Owww, geez! It's gonna rip my noggin off!" Ace yelled, wincing in pain.
"So when he wrote 'absolute obedience,' this is what he meant..." Deuce said, also wincing in pain.
"kinky~" Y/n teased the boys.
"SHUT UP!" the trio shouted as they got pulled to a certain Dorm. "AaaaAAaaaAGH!" everyone shrieked.
It seems that it wasn't just Ace, Deuce, and Grim who made a contract due to the number of anemones swarming the halls to the mirror chamber.
"What now? The way they were walking, it was like the anemones were pulling them in that direction" Jack mumbled. "Is a picture that stupid still worth a thousand words...?"
"We'd better follow them," Yuuna said.
"Huh? Where do I come in here? This is none of my business" Jack huffed.
"Still sore from your Spelldrive injuries?" the human girl asked.
"Tch. You're starting to fit in around here a little TOO well. Fine.I'll keep you company for a little while, at least." Jack blushed a bit. "Let's get this straight, though- this is purely out of curiosity. I wanna see what caused this. I couldn't care less about those guys. J-just so we're clear on that."
Suddenly, Y/n flinched as she placed a hand over her stomach, bending over a little. "Huh? Y/n, are you okay?" Yuuna asked.
"Yes. It seems like I'm about to lay some eggs soon..." Y/n said before Jack and Yuuna yelp in surprise.
"WHAT?!"
"B-but how?!" Yuuna asked.
"There unfertilized. It's not what you guys are thinking" Y/n was dumbfounded as Jack and Yuuna blushed in embarrassment.
"O-oh. Then we can go ahead. I'll make sure to guard Yuuna" Jack spoke, clearing the tensing atmosphere.
"Right. I'll be in the nurse. Cya guys later" Y/n rushed to Crowley's office.
