Now on the beach Luz ,Luis , Eda and King ,were looking at something
"Well you two , did you ever in your life think you'd see something as breathtaking as this" said Eda facing a giant dead slug filled with trash
"It's as breathtaking as a bullet in the head" said Luis shutting his nose with his fingers
"I've been traumatized" said Tes
"I don't like this" said Luz creeped out and a bit disgusted
"Yes it doesn't get much inspiring than the trash slug ,it makes a home ,a life from whatever other have thrown by the wayside" said Eda grabbing a rubber duck from the slug and throwing it away "until bam! It gets blasted by a wave one day and croaks from all the salt ,then we get to sell this stuff at 8" she said holding a pickaxe to give to Luz
"Please don't make me" said Luz terrified of this job
She then pointed it at Luis
"I wanna act unmoved by this like i usually do ,i really do, but i can't ,i really can't , and *blurgh* i think I'm gonna vomit" said Luis his face turning green
"Ahh come on you two , it's not everyday you get to go to the dump and take apart a garbage carcus" said King
"Ehh, nuts to you three" said Eda before using the Pickaxe on the slug
"So Eda, what if we tried some new lessons for my apprenticeship, like ancient scrolls , or mixing together potions_" said Luz
"Egh , sounds like a bunch of magic school stuff" said Eda annoyed
"Wait is there a magic school here , like blinding towers , cute uniforms ,dark plots that threaten your life! , that kind of magic school" said Luz
"Mmh hmm , and it forces you to learn magic the proper way" said Eda " but magic isn't proper ,it's wild and unpredictable and that's why it's so beautiful, i didn't finish school , and look at me , who wouldn't envy where i am right now?" Said Eda
Luz looked a bit sad
"Everyone maybe , i don't think many people appreciate...this" said Luis pointing at the slug in discomfort
"Hey, here's a lesson! A great witch is resourceful" said Eda grabbing Luz's hand and putting in some green Liquid "like this"
Then after a bit Luz pulled out her hand holding
"A greasy slime ball" said Luz in disappointment
"Use your slime ball wisely ,young witch , back at it!" Said Eda closing Luz's hands om the slime ball
"This is getting weird, I'm gonna leave" said Luis grabbing Tes and getting out
After walking away for a while Luis heard someone crying
"This is a terrible idea" Luis said before sighing and heading towards the crying
Then he saw the source of the cries from behind a bush
It was a girl looking the same age as Luis , who had pale white skin, one giant black eye instead of white with a pinkish red pupil with long unkempt large and long black hair that reaches her legs and sharp teeth (she has a mouth) wearing (the hexide potion coven clothes)
"Why can't they just leave me alone *growl*" she said kicking a rock and then bursting into tears again "my biggest achievement, gone! Just like that aaaah!" She cried
Then she heard a rustling in a nearby bush
"Show yourself!" said the girl , Luis obliged
"What are you , and how much did you hear?!" Asked the girl
"I am a human , if you heard of those , and i only heard the last part" said Luis raising his hands in the air
"Oh noooo! Whyyy! , I'll just_" said the girl
"_bang your head on something?" Asked Tes
"Hey!" Said the girl in anger "does this box look into someone's soul or something"
"No i just know more than i let on" said Tes
"Well i just heard you crying and i thought I'd , you know ,try to help" said Luis shrugging his shoulders
"And why would i choose the random boy i met a few minutes ago over ,i don't know , anyone else!" Said the girl
"Because you don't have friends" said Tes bluntly
Those words hit the girl like a sack of bricks
"Just because you're right ,doesn't mean , I'll agree with you" yelled the girl angrily
"You have next to no ,social experience" said Tes
"OK! Fine! You win! I'll talk! Just stop glaring into my soul or whatever" said the girl
"O~k now let's introduce ourselves , or at least i think that's how it's supposed to go" said Luis "anyway name's Luis Noceda"
"Gemma Cerasus call me Gem" said Gemma then her eyes shifted left and right "o~r is that too intimate"
"You two are hopeless" said Tes rolling her digital eyes
"Doesn't matter , now Gem what's your problem?" Asked Luis
"Well , we have this potion making presentation today and well ,i usually take first place ,but this time someone messed with my potion and i don't have the time to make a new one" said Gemma as she sat on the ground
"Uh huh ,usually when that happens to me ,i just blow it up and do other classes" said Luis
"You do know that we can have only one class right ,and I'm in the potion track" said Gemma annoyed
"Ok then , maybe i can help you with that" said Luis
"Unless you have some time accelerator or something i don't think so" said Gemma smirking
"I don't ,but i believe i have something that can do something similar" said Lcrazysing his unmoved look
"I don't even have all the ingredients!" Said Gemma
"Your school probably does" said Luis
"This is a bad idea! We_" said Gemma only to get interrupted
"No , this is a terrible idea!, but desperate time require desperate measures" said Luis "so ,are we going" he said holding his hand out for Gemma
"You're crazy and i am too for accepting this but" said Gemma as her eye split into two normal eyes "it's worth a shot...what?"
"Your eyes just...split?" Said Luis raising a brow
"Yeah, i thought that, you know , you'd be_" said Gemma
"No ,no , it's oka_" said Luis
"I can split them even more" said Gemma splitting her eyes into 4
"I'm not even gonna question this world's biology" said Luis "let's just go"
"Agreed" said Gemma
At Hexide
Luis and Gemma were now sneaking into the potion classroom
Of course Tes was silently following them ,giggling in her mind
"You get the ingredients ,I'll get the catalyst" said Luis
Then after a while they went to a table with everything they needed
"Ok , so i need you to make the potion but not fully , make it so you have two items ,that when mixed together, make the potion ,understood?" Said Luis
"Under_" Gemma then suddenly wrapped her hair around Luis's mouth keeping it shut and slamming him in a nearby cabinet
"Oh if it isn't the screw up , are you here to try to fix your broken dream" said a girl with pink hair and three eyes
Gemma just grumbled at the scene of 3 girls
"What? , don't you have anything to say ,oh wait you don't talk to anyone" said the girl as she and her friends laughed
"Bold words coming from a number 2" said Gemma's voice
Then Gemma was surprised , because she hadn't said a thing
"Uhh that wasn_" said Gemma getting interrupted
"Oh you're talking back , you think you can beat me!" Said the girl "You're as much a failure as half witch Willow" she said then started laughing with her friends
"Coming from you that's a compliment" said the voice again
"Is that a challenge?" The girl said angrily "how about this , if you win , I'll never bully you again ,if i win ,you leave the potion track"
Right now you could see burning fire inside Gemma's eyes
"Boscha! I accept" she said not the voice
"Hah! See you in class" said Boscha
Then she and her friends left
Luis was let out and breathed non hairy air again
"What was that voice?!" Asked Gemma
"It was me" said Tes
"What?! Why?!" Said Gemma "my whole life could be ruined now" she said weakly
"But you got the chance to fight for your peace now ,and you've got help too" Tes said then a hand appearing from a hatch on her back that pointed at Luis
Gemma then smiled ,knowing that finally someone has her back
"Well then ,how did you wrap your hair around my mouth?" Asked Luis
"Oh that's simple , our race has complete control over our bodies ,down to last hair , i can even make my entire face a mouth , shift any organ around with ease and more" said Gemma as she grew 4 arms, 2 from the elbows of each arm
"That's too good to be true , what's the downside?" Asked Luis
"Well, we can't control our magic as well as other people , weaker magics are not too hard but the stronger it is the more painful it gets , that's why i chose the potion track , to find a way around this" Said Gemma as she started making the potion with 6 arms now
"So did you fix the problem?" Asked Luis
"Well not really , i did make spell potions though ,it was the way i found could get me through the restriction" said Gemma smiling
"That makes sense , but how long is this potion gonna take?" Asked Luis
"Oh it's done" Said Gemma holding two potion bottles filled with liquids
Then Luis took them and pulled out a purple glowing ball the size of a tennis ball and out of it came a disc shaped machine way too big for the ball
"Woah , how does that even work?" Asked Gemma curiously
"I'll too long to explain , so maybe another day" said Luis
Luis then put the two liquids in two different and smaller vials that were in the disc shaped machine and then closed the machine
"And now we wait" said Luis "this machine will analyse the two liquids and make a catalyst that'll finish it in_"
"_materials insufficient" came a voice from the disc shaped machines "Unknown ingredient needed"
"Unknown ingredient , the only possible thing it would be is magic" said Luis his hand on his chin "Gem ,can you use some magic on it?"
"Oh ,sure" said Gemma
"Use a non harmful spell at as much power as possible" said Luis "we're trying to do this as fast as possible"
"Ok ,I'll just a light spell" said Gemma as she carefully drew a circle on the air
Luis covered his eyes
The came out a big light ball but it wasn't disastrous_
"Huh? that wasn't so bad" said Luis
_Yet , the ball then suddenly shined like the sun , Luis quickly covered his eyes again
Then the light disappeared and
"Materials sufficient ,resuming process" was heard
"It should be done in a few minutes" said Luis removing his hands off of his face
"Yes ,yes yes , i can finally put Boscha in her place ,thankyouthankyouthankyou" she said hugging Luis
Then a click was heard and the two saw some light , and it turned out to be coming from Tes
"A picture for memories" said Tes with a digital grin
The Gemma realized what she just did and let go of Luis
Both blushed and covered their faces ,and agreed to never speak of this
"Too late ,i got pics" said Tes laughing
Then they heard the sound of someone yelling
"It's principal Bump! Hide! now!" SaidGemma
Luis immediately entered a cabinet with Tes forgetting to take the disc machine with him
Gemma had to hide it in her giant hair
Then entered the classroom was a (honestly idk how to describe him)
"Ahhh Cerasus were you the one who caused that light?" Asked Bump
"Ye~s i n-needed some light and i didn't pay attention to force of the spell he he" said Gemma nervously
"Well it's okay , say how's today's potion coming along? Is it finished?" Said Bump smiling
"Uhh, yes it is" said Gemma prying open Luis machine that was 1 minute away from finishing
"Ooh can i see it?" Asked Bump
"Yes just wait a second hehe" Gemma said nervously as she stalled as much as she could while hastily mixing the potion with her hair "here it is"
She showed him the final potion
"Ooh and this is a rejuvenation potion right?" Said Bump
"Yes , it's not deaging but it should make any old demon relive their golden age he he" Gemma said nervously
"Well i look forward to it" said Bump "and you'll finally be able to get your private brewery here at Hexside"
"Yes sir!" Said Gemma
Then principal Bump left and Luis came out of the cabinet
Then Luis asked Tes to make him look like the walls
Then he went and hid in a corner he gave Gemma a thumbs up ignoring his broken creation and hid again
Then the class started
Students took turns showing their potions and using them on different creatures
Then came Gemma's turn
Bump wasn't there yet however
The test subject was an old griffon that became much weaker after aging
It was a griffon that was as big as a large table
Gemma then went up to the griffon and gave it the potion
And then she began running for her life a few seconds later
The griffon got larger barely fitting in the room , breaking some of the ceiling
It roared and everyone ran for their lives
Luis returned to normal and grabbed Gemma and ran as well as the beast followed them
"Is that supposed to happen?!" Asked Luis
"No! That is NOT supposed to happen" yelled Gemma
The griffon then used it's spider breath , giant spiders crawled around the hallways
Luis pulled out a the energy gun and Gemma pulled out potions from her hair
"This is a bad idea!" Said Luis
"Nope it's a terrible idea" said Gemma throwing a potion at the spiders ,which exploded and killed some of the spiders
"You dare use my own spell against me" said Luis shooting the spiders ,smirking
Gemma then grew 4 more arms and used half of her 6 arms to carry Luis because he would be too slow
Then they ran attacking the spiders here and there ,and thinking of a way to get rid of the griffon tailing them
Then they reached the end of a hallway leading to giant drop down
They saw Bump attacking Luz and another girl
They ran by him the griffon behind them
"Luz!" Said Luis grabbing Luz
"Wait Luis!" Said Luz as she grabbed the other girl
The griffon ran into Bump literally
Gemma went behind a pillar
"Oh this is awful ,i don't know what to do , I'm just half a witch Willow" said Willow
"Please have emotional breakdowns after we survive" yelled Gemma
"No you're full witch Willow ,and you're great! , someone once told me that great witch is resourceful" said Luz said as she grabbed stuff out of her pocket
"That's it!" Said Willow
"How is a greasy slime ball going to save us" whispered Luis
"It's a seed , thank goodness Luz had it on her" said Willow
Luz smiled a bit at that statement
And then Willow made the seed grow
Vines began spreading then they grabbed the griffon and Bump
"Remarkable" said Bump
Then the 4 ran to the exit
"Why are we running again?" Asked Gemma
"Principal Bump is after us" said Luz
"That explains a lot" said Luis
Then they ran but got blocked by a girl with green hair who said something about a badge and sent abominations after them
Luz punched the abomination and they ran to the exit where an abomination blocked them
"You two go" said Willow using her vines on the abomination
"What?! I can't just lea_" said Luz
"_she's not alone! Don't worry , we got this!" Said Gemma "this is the adrenaline speaking!" She yelled
"Go!" Said Willow as she used her vines to throw the twins out of hexside
Luz tried to get back in but the door closed and Luis stopped her
"They're gonna be okay Luz , maybe detention at most but it gonna be okay" said Luis
Luz looked sad but then her face brightened up
"Eda!" Said Luz "what?" Replied Luis "Eda! She can help them" luz said running towards the owl house
Luis ran with her
When they reached Eda, Luz hugged her and told her about the seed and how she needs to help her new friends
Then out of the forest came out 3 people
Willow and Gus (I'm too lazy to write anything else) hugged Luz
"Seriously what is that?" Asked Eda about the hugging
Luis and Gemma just stood there
Then Willow told Luz about her changing tracks
"Yeah, AND, he was impressed by my potion , and i finally got my own private brewery at Hexside!" Said Gemma excitingly
"Good for you" said Luis smiling as they did a fist bump
Then something about Amity who Luis didn't know and cared very little
"Well i can't wait to see some action , the next time i sneak in" said luz smiling
"Oh about that, you two are sorta kinda , banned" said Gus showing them a poster
"That's my girl!" Said Eda
"But we can come here and teach you what we learn" said Willow
"Aww , that would be nice" said Luz "but i have a pretty great teacher already"
That statement surprised Eda then she grinned
"Yeah that's right ,Luz is my student! , back off academy twerps , ahhh baby's first wanted poster ,good job kid , it seems I've taught you something after all" said Eda head patting Luz
"You hive five with your hand , not your head" said Gus
"Who are you again" said Luis
Then Luz introduced Gus and Willow to Luis who introduced Gemma
Then as she was about to leave
Gemma went to Luis and gave him a necklace with a red gem in it
"Have it, i have a part time job as a gem carver ,and i made it myself" said Gemma
"Thanks" said Luis smiling
"I ship it!" Yelled Tes
Luis just looked at her and spoke
"Where were you when we were getting chased by a giant beast?" Asked Luis
"Getting memories" said Tes showing on her face screen pictures of Luis and Gemma
Both complained about this
Tell me your thoughts about the chapter
And if you have any questions about Gemma's species ask them
I made it because i felt that for a fantasy world
Hexide students were pretty tame when it came to weirdness
Toodles!
