Entry # 52: Age 17
Dear Diary,
So my day is officially made…
Before you say it, no, I'm not talking about the fact that I just got perfect scores on ALL of my first exams, nor indeed am I referring to the fact that Team MAMI invited Yin and I join their group for their next convention, and I am most definitely not considering the fact that I was nominated for this years 'Miss Beacon' Pageant – as if I, the beautiful, talented, and boundlessly modest Glynda Goodwitch would ever be that conceited… Although I really thing the glasses won me considerable appeal with the niche audience that really puts me in the running to win…
No, I'm not talking about any of that because – while all true, none of that holds a candle to the fact that, today, I got to watch that STUPID WINCHESTER JERKFACE GET FINALLY AND UTTERLY DESTROYED! You see, amidst the prank wars nonsense, Duke thought he'd get a leg up by picking an easier target than Andreas Arc, Alexander Arc, Siegfried Schnee, Emmy Valkyrie, Cinder Fall, or that Uriyuu chick from Team ARME – so you want to know who he targeted? Yin. Yin Xiao Long. The most shy, sensitive, emotionally fragile in all of Vytal. Damn Jerkface decided it would be 'funny' to write 'squeeze me,' on all of her shirts! I'd have killed the bastard myself if Siegfried hadn't beaten me to it as leader of Team SQYD saying 'Discipline is the sole responsibility of the team leader, and no real man could let this behavior go unpunished!' I completely agree of course, and happily lent Yin a shirt while we got hers cleaned, but that's not what you probably want to read about…
And no, Winchester's stupid prank did not simply give voice to what we were all thinking but much too ashamed to admit – Yin is much too moe for that!
Anyway, Siegfried physically dragged Duke – by the collar no less – into the courtyard, held Winchester prostrate with his boot, and waited for Alexander and Andreas to gather an audience 'For the public shaming of one who is no true man!' You see, apparently throwing pies in a shy girls face (last week, part of the mass-custard-pie bombing of the cafeteria), swapping her textbook from which she was supposed to read aloud for a copy of Fist of the North Star in literature class (three days ago, although she still got an A because Miss Faust thought Yin was being avant-garde), and formulating a jar of Dust specifically to induce adorable sneezing (just yesterday) are all perfectly acceptable actions undertaken by 'real men' (specifically Alexander, Andreas, and Siegfried respectively), but what Duke Winchester did crossed some vague line of which I've not been made privy… But oh, well; once Siegfried decided the audience was big enough, the Jerkface-Smackdown commenced~
Now, before you get the mistaken impression that maybe Siegfried took this whole thing too far – which he totally didn't! Winchester ABSOLUTELY DESERVED IT! – It's worth bearing in mind that Duke Winchester is six inches taller than Siegfried – hard to believe, I know – and he's built like a truck; "he's plenty strong enough to defend himself" (Quote: Gretchen Faust, who supervised the 'duel') It's just that Duke's too much of a lumbering idiot to do so effectively. For a moment I wondered if Siegfried was going to use Dust to put the sniveling worm –No offense to Team WORM, they're all wonderful people – in his place, but now, he just pulled out a sword instead.
It's just that the sword was like, ten freaking feet long! 'Balmung the Dragonslayer' Siegfried called it as he declared that, with it, he'd slain a mighty Atlesian breed of Grimm known as the Fafnir… Duke was given the chance to raise his own weapon, but let's face it, Siegfried's is bigger…
Long story short, Siegfried Schnee demolishe Winchester, and the jerk hasn't taken a step out of line since – I heard from Cinder that he even took up needlepoint in penance or something… Thought that last bit's still unconfirmed…
On board with this ridiculous 'REAL MANLINESS' thing for once in my life,
Glynda
P.S. Really, all this could have been avoided if Winchester had a soul and wrote 'Hug Me' on all Yin's shirts instead…
