Students of Auradon Prep scattered into their classes or offs/study periods. Either they had to do something important like Nino or make sure everything was somewhat calm with their new arrivals.

Marinette, Alya, Nathanial, and Ivan sat in a very empty classroom with them for and Master Fu. It was two per table.

Alya sat next to Marinette and the table beside them were Nathanial and Ivan. All of them were equally bored. Except for Marinette. She was sketching.

Master Fu had the board with a couple of questions for them and a pointer stick at hand. "If someone hands you a crying baby, do you...

A. Curse it

B. Lock it in a tower

C. Give it a bottle

or

D. Carve out its heart

As Master Fu said the question, he used a couple of hand gestures and looked at all of them.

Alya was crossing out answers in her mind and kind of out loud. She then raised her hand.

"Alya." he pointed to her and she answered the question.

"What was the second one?"

"Oh okay. Anyone else?" he asked, waving the stick around. Master Fu stayed silent for a moment and pointed to Marinette. "Marinette."

"C. Give it a bottle." she looked up at him away from her sketches.

"Correct. Again." Master Fu said softly.

Nathanial looked over to the bluenette. "You are on fire, girl."

"I just pick the one that doesn't sound like any fun." she said. Mari knew it was quite obvious.

"Oh." her friends said at different times. Now, they understood.

"That makes so much sense." Alya said.

"Yeah. It does." Marinette replied back. She rolled her eyes. Were they really that dumb?

As all of them kept talking to each other, a short girl with a baby blue dress, dark skin, golden brown colored eyes, and a droopy bow in her hair came up to Master Fu. Her hair were in pigtails.

She squealed as she passed them and even ran past them and up to Master Fu.

"Hello dear one." he said as he crouched down a bit.

"Hi." she whispered. The girl handed him a clipboard with some papers on it and a writing utensil. "You need to sign an early dismissal for the coronation.'' She talked extremely fast as she looked in fear at the four of them.

"Everyone here remembers my niece Manon."

Manon's parents died from where Master Fu couldn't heal them. Not even the Miraculous could even work. But that is a different story.

"Uncle. No." Manon tried to protest.

"Omg." Ivan whispered to Nathanial.

"It's okay." Manon's uncle said to her as he gave the clipboard and the pen back to her. He gently turned the frightened girl around to them. "Manon, this is everyone."

She gently started to walk slowly. "Hi." she held the clipboard close to her chest. "That's okay. Don't mind me. As you were." Manon gave them a quick curtsey and ran past them again. She squealed once again and was happy she was out of the room.

Marinette looked at her and had a few things on her mind, but she quickly cleared her mind and looked up to Master Fu.

He cleared his throat and turned to the board. The principal got out his pointer stick again. "Let's continue." With much expression,

"You find a vile poison do you..

A. Put it in the king's wine.

B. Paint it on an apple

or

C. Turn it to the proper authorities"

Everyone except for Marinette raised their hand. They knew the answer now.

"Ivan." he pointed his stick to the tall boy.

Ivan smiled as he forced Nathanial's hand down. "C. You turn it into the proper authorities." he punched the red head.

"I was going to say that." Nathanial said. His teeth closed as he talked.

In a baby voice; "Oh but I was going to say that first." Ivan mimicked. He stood up and held his neck, giving him a noogie on his head. They started rough housing.

Alya was looking at herself in the reflection of her phone. And Marinette just rolled her eyes.

Master Fu tapped his stick a few times. "Boys."

They kept continuing for a few seconds before Master Fu tapped his stick again and raised his voice slightly.

"Boys!"

They stopped immediately and looked to the old man.

"I am going to encourage you to use that energy on the turny field."

"Uh no. That's okay." Nathanial tried to say. "Whatever that is," he pushed Ivan off of him as he got up himself. "We'll pass."

The bell rang for the next class.

All went out.

"Marinette." Fu said.

"Ugh." she rolled her eyes. "Did I do something so terribly wrong?"

Her friends were now doing their own things. Like how it seemed to be Ivan and Nathanial on the turny field. And Alya at her next destination of her class schedule.

"No. Marinette. I need to talk to you."

"About?"

"Your new role as Ladybug."

"Ladybug? I can't become a hero. There's no trouble and I'm rotten."

"Just because your mother is evil doesn't mean you have to be like her. When you are ready, you may open that small box you have with the Ladybug earrings inside."

Marinette didn't understand and gathered her things for the next class she had. She left.

Master Fu sat by himself. "Wayzz, my dear friend, I wish I could talk to you one last time..."
