St. Anne Academy of Magic

Marianne smiled with satisfaction as her spikes smashed most of the skeletons and waded in with stone armored fists to finish off any that remained.

While Straza walked away to the exit, she looked down onto her attire and scoffed "Pfft, I know that it is autumn season, it's cold and I'm literally the devil but don't worry, I'm super hot fiyaaa...by the way, get your ass moving, my man! As much as I enjoy shelling out sexy tease on you, we're can do that while we're walking!"

With a grunt, Dagan threw off his jacket and placed in on Straza's shoulders. "Then let this be an extra insurance in case you're not hot enough." He grumbled, rolling his shoulders as he went with her. It wouldn't phase him too much, he was the one covered in thick fur, not her.

Antoin sighed at the discretion Leo showed, but then simply smiled and decided to follow him, "So, Leo, what was in those grimoires you bought back then?"

Antoin had been studying his own bought grimoires from back then, and was just about to add a bit more to his arsenal.

...Well, time to focus on the task at hand, he decided. He looked around the path they were on in case anything unfriendly popped up.

Cave, Tunnel, Whatever, Blargh

After a bit more walking, they reach a dead end.

"...... Well this was time I could've spent doing something fun and/or necessary." Dian remarks.

"Guess we should go-..... ?.."

He stops and smells the air.

".. Something smells like fresh air. And old books.. And.. Metal?."

Hela winced and backed up, trying not to laugh. "Shit, girl, that looks like it hurt!" She shook her hand off, then braced herself up against any attacks once again. "Hey! Skeletons!" She yelled out. "You know how to talk? You understand me?!"

Antoin walked forward and examined the dead end, "Could this per chance be a false end? Maybe we need to exert a bit of force to get through to wherever that smell is coming from."

He started examining the rest of the dead end for any further secret openings.

As Justin watched Victor leave, the young man thought about perhaps trying to befriend him. They were both into Magitech, and both were in the same class.

He seems like a nice enough guy.

Justin kept walking...

Caves

Leo didn't stop moving. "Nothing." He said, perhaps a bit too quickly. "Just normal life magic spells, mostly. I might end up returning it, most of it is stuff I could find in the school library. Everything else is out of my reach." He wasn't quite lying. But he didn't want to tell people about how gory the magics inside were, nor that he was actually interested in learning them.

"There're still two other paths." Leo said, approaching the wall. With Antoin, he began to search for any secret passages, feeling his way along the wall for any loose bricks.

Secret Passageway

Marianne finished the last of the skeletons off. All that was left of them was bones, littering the floor of the long, wide hallway. Nothing impeded their progress to the final chamber. It was big enough to play a half-court game of basketball, and the ceiling was high enough for it too. The floors were tiled haphazardly, with smooth, triangular slabs of black marble creating a webwork on the unworked cavern floor. A large circle of glassy obsidian was embedded in the floor, like a dish. The entire room smelt of dust and damp caves. The room was illuminated by dozens of candles, dripping wax onto the iron sconces throughout the room.

Caves

Dian also started searching. He was about to say, "I don't think there's anything here" when he leaned against a section of wall and the wall swung inwards like a revolving door.

"Aww, you're too kind," Straza said when she received the jacket, then she proceeded to wrap the jacket's sleeves around herself just below the breasts and tighten it so that it would propped said breasts further up.

Out of the girl's dorm and onto the courtyard, Straza breathed in to enjoy that autumn air in the winds, beautiful day to just fuck around in town, maybe literally if things go well enough-

And then, someone, and something, came out of the boy's dorm that confuses Straza to no end.

"Err, Dagan," she asked. "Am I hallucinating? Why is that dude walking a deer?"

It was fortunate that the last of the skeletons are went down with Marianne's stone marination, else Felicidad would be a sitting duck. She got herself up, however groggy she is, and looked around for a bit before laying his eyes on Cody, specifically the bone he's carrying.

With a crossed arm, a death stare and a unamused frown, she asked "So...who's the one that sweep me?"

"...no idea. Feeling like we shouldn't question." He replied with a small shrug, giving the pair a rather suspicious look with a raised eyebrow.

"Anyway, got any places you want to visit first, Straza?" Dagan asked the succubus, a little grumpy about how she decided to use his jacket. Well, at least she wore it, kind of.

"Well, actually I wanna go to the record store before anything else," Straza said. "I've been wanting to see what they have in store. Maybe they'll have Danny Brown-AHHH!"

She was soon interrupted by the deer suddenly jumping onto her and...humping her legs so crassly. And for some reason, it panted like a dog.

"Kyah! I know, I know, I'm hot! Now get off!"

"Fair enou-eugh." Well, that escalated quickly. With a grumble, Dagan leaned forward and picked the deer by its neck, letting it hump the air. "I guess there are limits for everyone, even a succubus." He chuckled, putting it down away from his partner in crime.

Creepy Catacomb

Cody spoke up. "Yeah, that was me who hit. Sorry, I don't really have much experience with the whole fighting thing."

Cody dropped the bone, and held his hands up. "No hard feelings?"

"Artemis, bad girl! Stop that!" Victor scolded as helped Dagan remove the zombified doe from Straza. Victor's beetle landed on the Artemis' snout and made a series of clicks and hums that probably along the lines of 'You're making all the big fleshlings make loud noises, please stop'

In his mind, the nature spirit wondered how Julia would teach her construct to behave. Once he had gotten Artemis under control, Victor turned to Straza and Dagan, and dipped his head low in apology.

"I'm deeply sorry for the trouble Artemis has caused."

Hela moved further into the room, crouching down in front of the plate. "Huh. Spooky as fuck. Kinda." She looked around the rest of the room, eyes scanning the dimness. "Whoever built this was certainly trying their hardest. Doesn't look like much, though. We should lever this plate out of the ground, maybe sell it to a museum or something."

"No harm done, I guess. Dagan shrugged his shoulders. The situation has been difused swiftly and nobody really suffered apart from Straza's mild embarassment.

"Then again, I wasn't the one assaulted." He let out a soft chuckle before extending his giant hand towards Victor. "Dagan. Nice to meet you."

"Victor Datra, and likewise." He replied, shaking the Kraumpus' large hand, while his free limb was occupied with stroking Artemis' head to calm her down. Meanwhile, the beetle had crawled up Victor's arm and perched on his shoulder.

"So how did you meet Straza?" He asked.

"Wanted to meet a fellow demon, is all." He replied with a shrug to Victor's query. "Turns out we're getting along. Somewhat."

The Reckonig Room

As Hela neared the center room, something stirred on the ceiling. A man-sized spider dropped from the ceiling, trying to grapple Hela.

"THIEVING DOG GIRL!" The custodian screamed, eyes rolling in his head as he tried to take a bite from his ear. "STUPID THIEF! I WILL BATHE IN YOUR BLOOD!" His tirade echoed throughout the room.

Chamber of Dian

As the wall swung inwards, Leo was pulled to the other side, like in Scooby Doo. His phone clattered to the ground, the screen shattering, shrouding him in darkness.

"Guys?! Guys!" Leo yelled, banging on the wall. He used his life sensing. He could sense Dian and Antoine now, appearing as silhouettes of light in the dark. He'd also be able to sense anything lurking in the shadows.

"HYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAAAAA!" Hela roared back in offense, pushing against the enormous spider. "Feliformia!" She let the monster bite into her ear, then clasped her right arm around his head. With her left she started bashing his head repeatedly, holding him in place by the jaws. "We are mutant Hyenas, Hyenas are Feliform Carnivores, You fucking dumbass! Guys, kill it before I lose an ear!"

Spooky Spider

Not wasting a second, Cody picked up the recently dropped bone and hurled it straight at the spiders head, hoping that it would strike true.

"Guys, I can put it to sleep!... Maybe! Try and hold it still!"

Adrienne's chain shot out, tangling with the thing's limbs. She ran to the side, shooting a laser at the spider thing when Hela wasn't in the line of fire.

((Ah, I'm really sorry. I worded it poorly and wasn't very clear, but I was speaking metaphorically. The custodian still looks more or less like a human, albeit very spidery. Like, he looks like a normal human, but he's very lanky. Also the googly eyes.))

The Reckoning Room

The custodian could have easily taken Hela's ear off. After all, this was a person who routinely are nails and had torn off parts of a filing cabinet as a snack. But just as he was about to chomp down, he was torn off by Adrienne's chain. He quickly freed himself, tearing them apart with his bare hands, but not before taking a direct hit from the laser, the bone hitting his head with a satisfying thwack.

"You." The custodian said to Adrienne, reaching into his belt and taking out his claw hammer. "If you had just let that nazi-child take the key, I could have just killed him instead. Now I have to murder everyone in this room." Even as he said that, blood was pooling on his head where the bone had hit him. He could probably have overpowered one students. Maybe two if he was lucky. But while very strong and durable, the custodian was simply too outnumbered. He lunged at Cody, swinging his hammer at his head.

Antoin

He was about to tease Leo a little about the life magic grimoires, but then there was no Leo around. He noted this immediately and looked at Dian, "Our friend appears to have vanished."

"Leo! Where are you!?" He spoke his thoughts aloud, "We cannot afford to get separated down here. Who even knows what might be down here. If the wall flipped or opened or something, there must be a mechanism."
