Chapter 20: Climatic Showdown (Part 2): A "Normal" School Day.
Wednesday...Norrisville High.
"As you can clearly see, water can be simply purified through boiling, filtering, or if you want to do it in a more chemical way...Coagulation..." Mizuwani said to the classroom as he was currently partially possessing Theresa out of her request, Theresa was supposed to do a presentation but she was a bit nervous so out of her own request she asked the Blue Alligator Oni in particular to do the presentation for her, Mizuwani did the presentation and was doing rather well clearly enjoying his time if it meant talking with other humans or in this case teaching other humans about something water related. And despite enjoying it he was doing rather well for a first timer, this could be due to his smug tone giving the aura of confidence and with the formal look of white dress shirt, black-rimmed glasses and black dress pants invoking a tinge of formal authority.
"Any questions people?" Mizuwani to the rest of the class who were listening rather intently, a hand was raised which Mizwauni obliged.
"Question Doug?" Mizuwani asked the logical teenager, clearly confident in the fact that he can answer every single question this class will throw at him.
"Why do you have a completely different voice from yesterday?" He asked, Mizuwani raised an eyebrow in response, he was expecting a question that was related to this subject rather than vocal tones and volumes.
"I felt that having a more...Stronger voice is a the way to go if you want people to listen to your words." Mizuwani replied ever so smugly, Doug nodded in response but then asked another question.
"Then how did you change into different clothes when you went to the bathroom without having those clothes to begin with?" Doug asked, Mizuwani still retain his smug smile before saying in a calm and collected tone.
"Simple, got these clothes out of my locker on my way to the bathroom rather simple Doug..." Mizuwani answered once more, Doug quickly prepared another question.
"And How did your hair highlight grew longer and is now blue instead of lavender?" Doug asked, Mizuwani sighed loudly before saying in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"I easily replaced it so it can be more sophisticated than a passionate but graceful lavender to coat my highlights, something that you clearly need to also..." Mizuwani replied as he folded his arms, trying to act as polite as possible to the question-brewing teenager.
'Is he always like this?' Mizuwani asked Theresa who responded with a loud but quick sigh.
'He's even worse...Just ignore him and he'll probably stop.' Theresa said as Mizuwani could literally sense Theresa face-palming out of pure irritation.
"And why are you wearing glasses even though you we've never seen you before with glasses?" Doug asked, the Blue Alligator Oni was rather irritated by this out-of-topic question.
"Can we have relevant questions? Its not that hard Doug..." Mizuwani said clearly trying to not have venom in his voice as he spoke to Teenager, Doug didn't listen as always and infact ask another irrelevant question.
"Why can't we have irrelevant questions?" Doug asked, Mizuwani quickly ignored him as luckily the science teacher known as shut Doug's chattering trap from asking any more questions.
Norrsville High: Lunchroom...
"Hello Everyone! I Made Delicious Fried Chicken For Everyone! Don't Worry Its One Hundred Percent Delicious!" Theresa said behind the lunch stall, her voice tinged with a note of sweetness and softness somewhat contrasting her normal voice, instead of having a blue streak in her highlights, its instead coated bright red and is shorter than the rest of her hair, she was wearing black glasses that most blind people would wear, most likely covering her now-red iris eyes, she wore a red plaid skirt with a white long shirt and on the top of her violet-haired head is a small fashionable red beret complimenting her now red highlights, her normal shoes were replaced with black dress ones along with long white socks.
Pichigaru at her own request wanted to see if her cooking was just as good as the school's cooking and so with some minor convincing from Principal Slimovitz and the Lunch Lady, Pichigaru was able to cook lunch's current specialty.
'Aren't you getting a little carried away Pichigaru?' Theresa suggested, Pichigaru innocently giggled in response and said to the violet-haired Oni Keeper.
"Don't Worry Theresa, I Can Handle A Little Bit Of Criticism If That What's Your Talking About..." Pichigaru said as several students went to where Pichigaru and with a sweet and honest smile she served several hungry students the Fried Chicken she managed to make in under an hour.
"Enjoy The Meal!" She said ever so happily as she waved goodbye and then waited for some more hungry students who want to take bites in some original made Fried chicken.
'Your not that naive Pichigaru, you know very much of what she means of being carried away...' Shirokuma said as he folded his arms in Purgatory.
'Besides...I want to help out in Theresa's school day...' Shirokuma grumbled underneath his breath so that no one could hear, to bad everyone including Theresa heard his gruff and naturally loud words.
'Really Shirokuma? That's really nice of you...' Theresa said with a small smile, Shirokuma blushed as a response thanking the fact that hes wearing a golden bandanna to cover his mouth, Mizuwani laughed at Shirokuma's words.
'I like how your acting like a little kid despite being the tallest and the strongest!" Mizuwani said as Kazeryu giggled childishly at Mizuwani's words.
'What do you mean by that Mizuwani?' Shirokuma said clearly annoyed at Mizuwani's commentary.
'That your jealous of Wani-sama and Pichi-sama!" Kazeryu said as he went back to draw some more drawings of puppies and kitties, Shirokuma grumbled loudly in response as he went back to being stoic and strong.
'Don't worry Shirokuma, you'll get your time in metal-working class.' Theresa said, Shirokuma only responded with a grunt and this single sentence.
'I don't want to repair armor, I want to try helping you out in art class.'
"Oh Hello Lyra And Cassie! Would You Like Some Of Pichigaru Made Fried Chicken?" Pichigaru said to the Twin Oni Keepers, who were only visiting Theresa for they wanted to know the reasons why Theresa was even making food in the kitchen to begin with.
"Don't worry Theresa, Mom and Dad always make us homemade lunches so we're good." Lyra in particular answered.
"And Deneb finally talked my mom out of constantly adding mushrooms in my diet so I'm good too." Cassie said with a small smile on her lips, Pichigaru smiled kindly and nodded understandingly in response.
Norrisville High: Gym...
It was dodgeball today, something that was greatly expected in physical education especially when you have a gym teacher such as coach green, Theresa lacked any highlights this time and instead she let her hair run wild by getting rid of her ponytail band, and her clothes was replaced with tight purple jeans, white and black sneakers, a white tank top and a purple baseball cap.
Kazeryu who was partially possessing Theresa was on one side of two rows of various fellow students who were preparing for this fun and competitive game of dodgeball, Kazeryu had a jovial smile on his face as several students noticed that Theresa had her hair down and out of a ponytail.
"Ready for every answer you give me Coach-san!" Kazeryu said with his usual cheery and childish voice, Coach Green responded with a raised eyebrow but nevertheless blew the whistle causing the battle between two dodgeball teams.
"This game seems fun! How exciting!" Kazeryu said to his fellow classmates as they were quickly eliminated by the opposing and aggressive team.
'Kazeryu, you have to dodge the balls and throw them at the other team, got it?' Theresa said, Kazeryu with a big grin on his face nodded in response, when he received an answer from Theresa, Kazeryu quickly realized he was last on his team and the other team had about six people left who had dodgeballs.
"Haha! Okay! Mind if beat you at this game?" Kazeryu said, all six threw a dodgeball, Kazeryu with great reflexes dodge all six dodgeballs by sidestepping out of the first and second one, spinning out of the way of the third and fourth one and jumping and ducking out of the fifth and sixth. The opposing team were rather astounded in Theresa's new found dodging skills.
"Haha! Couldn't hear an answer!" Kazeryu said as he quickly picked up a single dodgeball and then quickly spun around right before throwing the dodgeball eliminating one of the enemy dodgeballers, Kazeryu laughed loudly as he grabbed another dodgeball and then surprisingly did a somersault before throwing another ball eliminating a dodgeballer.
"This is to much fun!" Kazeryu said as he quickly tossed another dodgeball upward and then kicked the ball to one of the opposing team causing another one of them to be eliminated, Kazeryu giggled loudly as he was now facing only three left, with a arrogant and playful smile, he grabbed the three remaining dodgeballs and rolled them over to the opposing team.
"Lets make this even more fun than it was before! You each get a free shot on me!" Kazeryu said as he stuck his hands out to be more easily hit by a dodgeball, he even closed his eyes, the opposing took this opportunity to heart and at the same time they their dodgeballs to the Kazeryu-partially possessed Theresa, Kazeryu smiled and at all of the sudden jumped over all three at them at once surprising everyone with his agility and jump height, Kazeryu laughed as he eliminated the rest of the opposing team and finished it off with a pose of sticking out the peace sign to the fully-eliminated team while giving them a playful smile.
"And today's winner in dodgeball is Theresa Fowler!" Coach Green said as the rest of Theresa's cheered the Partially Possessed girl on.
Norrisville High: Art class...
"See, its not how your strong your hand is, is how graceful your hand and your brush can be..." Theresa said in a somewhat gruff but still feminine voice, she wasn't wearing glasses nor a hat of any sorts but her ponytail was even longer than before and her ponytail had a long yellow highlight going from the end of her ponytail to the beginning of her entire head of hair, she was a yellow with white cherry blossom pattern kimono and beside the calligraphy she was daintily holding, she was also holding a traditional Japanese parasol that had a bear paw and a cherry blossom painted on the top of the sun umbrella.
"Allow your passion, allow your strength to be at ease as gracefulness is Calligraphy's biggest need." The Partially Possessed Theresa said as several students quickly noticed that Theresa was wearing Traditional Japanese sandals and socks to go along with it too.
'Wow, I can't believe your an artist Shirokuma...' Theresa said as she was observing Shirokuma's calligraphy skills, Shirokuma only scoffed in response as he finished his calligraphy painting.
'It's Calligraphy, a big difference for all you do literally make pictures using words...' Shirokuma internally corrected, causing Mizuwani to groan loudly.
'Its all the same stuff if you use paint and brush Shiro...' Mizuwani retorted with a smug grin on his face, folding his arms in Purgatory as the Red Peach Girl Oni was quietly drawing with the Purple Dragon Oni.
'Are you okay with all of this Theresa? I mean helping you out with some of your daily troubles if that mean we can scurry around in your body...Is that okay?' Mizuwani asked the Violet-haired Oni Keeper, wanting to know for the first time he partially possessed her she was quite ticked off about it.
'Of course it is, it gives me a better reputation with the students and teachers so its all okay with me.' Theresa said with a smile, Mizuwani smiled back.
"Anyone need any pointers in how to be a powerful but elegant calligrapher?" Shirokuma said as he turned around to the rest of the class who were struggling with this sudden lesson in Japanese Calligraphy.
"Don't worry my fellow calligraphers, everyone needs to build bridges to cross rushing rivers..." The Partially Possessed Theresa said with a small smile on her lips, as she looked at the art teacher who was rather in Shirokuma's skill in the calligraphy brush.
