Grrrrr!!!
|
Grim
Grim
|
I-It's not working at all!
|
Choice 1: .....!?
|
Choice 2: Did something just sparkle!?
|
Ace
Ace
|
Behind that thing! At the end of the tunnel, something...
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Is that light... from a magic crystal!?
|
Faceless Monster
|
GOOOOOOOOOOHHH! WON'T GIVE!!!!
|

Ggggggooooohhh!!!

|
Grim
Grim
|
Is this far enough?
|
Ace
Ace
|
Ooooww... What in the world was that? No one said anything about that!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
It didn't seem like any old ghost.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Let's give up and go home. I'd rather get expelled than fight that thing. Whatever.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Wha!? Don't screw with me! I'd rather die than face expulsion!
There was a magic crystal in front of us. You think I could just give up and leave!?
|
Ace
Ace
|
Ha. You talk big for someone worse at magic than me. Go alone if you want. I'm done.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Oooh, that right? Then stay right there cowering like a spineless coward!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Huuuuh?? Coward? Who exactly are you talking about?
|
Grim
Grim
|
U-uuuh... Deuce. Did you switch up your character?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Huh! A-ahem! My bad. I lost my composure a bit.
|
Choice 1: What to do...
|
Choice 2: Can magic help us at all?
|
Grim
Grim
|
Can't you guys use any flashy magic that goes, "BAM!"?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Like the Headmaster said earlier, magic isn't all-powerful. If you can't imagine it, then it won't materialize.
Large-scale or complicated magic requires a lot of training to use.
|
Ace
Ace
|
But that's why we have schools for magic.
You have to practice a lot to use magic just as it comes to mind. Bluntly speaking, you'll screw up if you lose your cool.
|
Choice 1: Everyone has been using it willy-nilly.
|
Choice 2: So that's why Grim can only use fire.
|
Ace
Ace Grim
Grim
|
Stuff you're good at, you can go off instinct.Wha-? I-I'll be able to use more mind-blowing magic eventually! I-I haven't gotten serious yet!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
At any rate, I'm going in there. I'll figure out how to beat that thing and come back with a magic crystal.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Oh please. Judging by the chandelier incident and your actions so far, you're a complete idiot, aren't you?
You couldn't land a single hit earlier, but now you'll "figure it out"? It's going to end the same.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Come again!? You think of...
|
Grim
Grim
|
Here they go again.
|
Choice 1: Will you two knock it off!?
|
Choice 2: Then we face expulsion together.
|
Deuce & Ace
Deuce & Ace
|
!!!What...?
|
Grim
Grim
|
Whoa. Why are you shouting all of a sudden?
|
Choice 1: This is exactly why neither of you could do anything back there.
|
Choice 2: Let's try to work together.
|
Grim
Grim Ace
Ace
|
Ff-fgnnaa......You want me to work with reckless Mr. Serious over here? No way. Not a chance
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Guuhh... B-But... What exactly should we do?Reckless...!? I wouldn't want to work with you either!
|
Choice 1: Let's put our heads together.
|
Choice 2: We have to come up with a proper strategy.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Put our heads together...Strategy? You mean get along and work together? Ha! You're not funny. You have no problem saying lame things with a serious face, huh.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Agreed. No way I'm working with this loser.
|
Grim
Grim
|
But... I feel like it's way lamer to get expelled on the first day of school.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Uuh, that's...
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
.......
|
Choice 1: That's not cool at all.
|
Choice 2: Well I do have one idea, but...
|
Ace
Ace
|
....Haaaahh... Fine! We just have to get it done, right!
So, what's your plan?
|
|
Grim
Grim
|
You... really think it'll go as planned? I'm sca... no, just nervous.
|
Choice 1: No worries, I'm sure it'll be fine somehow!
|
Choice 2: We just have to accept our fate.
|
Deuce
Deuce Ace
Ace
|
Right. Let's go!Haha, you're too stiff. Just go with the flow. Let's get this over with!
