Owl House Season 1 Episode 13 – The First Day
Hey guys. First, special thanks to TyChav for dialogue help on this chapter and a couple others. I've also made edits to episode 1, 2 and 12!
Also, to answer a reviewer's question, Skara, Viney, Edric and Emira won't tag along on Luke's adventures like Willow, Gus and Amity do but they'll have more speaking roles and they might have a bigger role.
It was a new day for the Boiling Isles, a special day for certain witches as Hexside was having its annual placement exam tryouts for its upcoming semester. Luke activates a Light Glyph and holds it between him and Eda. He wears a dark green hooded cloak.
Eda: Alright, kid. This is the day you've been training for. You ready to show what you've got.
Luke: Heck, yeah, I am, teach! Though, I can't help but feel a little nervous. I mean I know I'm now versed in sword fighting and I know 3 spells, but I'm worried about messing something up.
Eda: Nah! Trust me, you've got this! It's natural to be nervous. I had to do the same thing when I was a witchling. It's like a rite of passage. Granted, I was a little more skilled.
Luke: Eda!
Eda: Right, right. Sorry, sorry. This is about you and you got this! I've seen you train for this day. You're ready!
Luke: Thanks, teach.
Eda: Now, get pumped.
Luke: Pumped!
Eda: She places her hands on his shoulder. Get ready.
Luke: He brings his hood up. Ready!
Eda: Now, go!
Eda shoves Luke out.
On the stage a spotlight aimed at the closed curtains and a banner reading "Hexside School: Entrance Exams." Luke dramatically and slowly steps towards the centre of the stage, hidden by his cloak as he spoke.
Luke: From the humblest of beginnings, a hero will rise. I have come from another realm and trained with a powerful witch to master possibly dark and forbidden magic. I am... He threw off his cloak, striking an epic pose. The human warrior, Luke Noceda!
But to Luke's dismay his only audience is Principal Bump holding a clipboard. The young boy frowns.
Luke: Well, that was a waste of a perfectly good entrance. Where's my audience?
Bump: All the students are in class. I will be reviewing your examination. Now, human, against my better judgement, I've allowed you to take this exam into Hexside. But can you even do magic with all your...human parts?
Luke: Hell yeah, I can!
Luke brings out his Light, Electric and Ice Glyph papers and fans them like cards.
Luke: It's said that humans can't do magic, but I discovered a lost technique that makes that impossible, possible.
Bump becomes intrigued, Eda gives two thumbs-up from backstage and Luke returns with his own thumbs up before focusing back on the exam.
Luke: Behold, the awesome power of Glyph Magic! Light!
Luke activates the Light Glyph and sends a barrage of light orbs from his hand.
Luke: Ice!
Luke activates the Ice Glyph and sends an icicle spear from his other hand.
Luke: And Lightning!
Luke slams two Electric Glyphs together, activating them and tossing them to side. When they land on the floor electricity pillars erupt as Luke spreads his hands in a pose.
Bump: Principal Bump is impressed. Spells cast with paper? I've never heard of such a thing. And that's quite an impressive display of showmanship. But is it enough to pass the exam?
Luke: Perhaps on their own they aren't but combined with weaponry they can be quite deadly.
Luke brought out Rebellion and opens it with a swing. He presents the blade, especially the three glyphs embedded in it.
Luke: This sword is made from a special material that allows it to absorb magic and change forms accordingly. I've already used 3 Glyphs on this bad boy and now when I concentrate real hard, I can do this.
Rebellion transforms into its Light Form, lengthening and becoming coated in light and lengthening slightly. Luke unleashes a couple of epic swings with his swords, releasing trails of light energy in every direction before he thrusts and releases a beam of light from the tip, flying into the air and exploding in fireworks
Bump watches in amazement as Luke pulls his sword, switching it to Electric Form, reverting to its original form but becomes coated and engulfed in electricity. Luke swings three times, unleashing shockwaves the scorch the wall.
With another swing his blade switches into an Ice Form, becoming coated in pure ice and Luke twirls his sword above his head before impaling it into the ground, causing multiple spikes of ice to crazily erupt around him and all over the entire auditorium, even nearly impaling Principal Bump, comically almost giving him a heart attack.
Rebellion reverts to normal as Luke pulls it out, held it high up into the air, the Electric Glyph glows and the sword releases a blast of electricity into the ceiling. He then throws a couple of epic swings with his new sword before tossing it up and kicking it up via the handle, causing it to spin like a windmill. He catches the sword, swinging it around one more time before striking a grand pose, pointing at Bump with an epic grin.
Luke: Down and out.
Eda: Eda's eyes well up with tears of joy. I am so proud.
Luke: So, impressed?
Principal Bump has his mouth wide open, stumped and speechless at the amazing display of a human boy wielding magic and weaponry with such mastery at such a young age as some of the walls crumble a little from the electricity and fireworks and the icicles begin to melt. His school may have just found a new star student in Luke, and he wants to see more. He must have this boy enrolled immediately.
Luke rests Rebellion on his shoulder, still waiting for a response.
Luke: Did I pass?
Bump overcomes his shock and casts a spell circle to send a pamphlet flying to Luke.
Bump: Welcome, Luke, to Hexside School of Magic and Demonics!
The pamphlet slams into Luke's face but he doesn't care. He passed. He raises his fists in joy.
Luke: Woo-hoo!
Owl House Intro
As the portal gate opens and the camera zooms in on it. Luke opens his eyes to see his falling down, causing him to freak out before something zoomed past and caught him. Luke saw he was saved by Eda along with King, who smirked at the human boy as they flew to her house on her Palisman staff with Luke raising his fist in excitement.
The door where Hooty was opened as Luke steps outside now wearing goggles, twirling his Rebellion sword and struck a pose, aiming his Glyph Gun at the screen. Eda came out with her staff, sharing a grin with Luke. King popped up in front of them in a pose.
A Boiling Isle mural appears, three windows flipping to briefly reveal Gus, Willow, and Amity striking their own poses before burning away to show King commanding an army of stuffed toys, which all fall on him.
Luke rode on Eda's staff like a surfboard, zooming past Bonesborough, flying past Tinella Nosa, sharing a high-five with Gus, Willow being beside him with a plan releasing vines and evading guards that chase him down. Eda and King join in on the fun and they have blast taking to the skies…until they hang on for dear life as a massive monstrous worm-like monster, mouth wide open, lunges at them as they scream in horror.
Then the scene changes back to the Owl House, where it's night-time, and stars twinkle in the sky as the trio are on the roof and looking up into the sky, Eda holding her staff beside her, Luke holding Rebellion downward and King riding his shoulder. Luke opens a hand, sending a ball of light floating into the sky where it bursts to release a blinding flash.
The title card appears:
Owl House
The next day after passing the exams with flying colours, Luke and Eda are flying to Hexside on her staff and Luke is wearing a Hexside uniform, though the normal uniform parts are in a lighter grey than most and his sleeves and leggings are white. In place of his trainers, he wears the standard tall black boots. Sat on the end of the staff is his blue backpack.
Eda: You nervous kid?
Luke: A little. This is gonna be really different from human school. And back there I didn't make a good first impression. This is a chance to be seen as something other than a screw-up…a violent screw-up at that.
Eda: Hey, don't worry about what those dorks think. You've got those two friends yours, right? And you've made a good impression in front of them. They'll help you fit in. Though, if you want my advice, walk into class and punch the first kid you see. To establish dominance.
Luke: Hmm. He grins a little. I'll only do that if said kid happens to be a big jerk, like Boscha.
They land at Hexside. Luke dismounts with his backpack strapped on.
Eda: Last chance to back out and earn a new Bad Girl Coven patch. She holds up a patch that reads "Quitter Badge". Quitting: It's like trying, but easier.
Luke: No thanks. I'll just earn it when I quit swordfighting, which will probably be never. And again, that Bad Girl Coven stuff doesn't work if I'm a boy. Adios, Owl Lady!
Luke proceeds to run.
Eda: Hold up! Eda threw her hand at Luke's head to turn him around. Quit worrying so much. You got this.
Luke: Eda screws her hand back on as Luke smiles. Thanks, Eda.
Luke is now making his way towards the building, holding an open Rebellion over his shoulder. A large banner reads "WELCOME TO THE NEW SEMESTER". Various students are arriving at Hexside, holding books and parking unicorns like bikes. Luke looks around with a smile on his face and to his delight he runs into Amity carrying books with her Abomination behind her mirroring her movements.
Luke: Hola Amity!
Amity: Hey, Luke! Congrats on getting in. And not being in the baby class.
Luke: Thanks, Ams!
Amity: I heard you impressed Principal Bump so much his jaws dropped in shock.
Luke: That it did! Not to brag, but I'd say I was unbelievably awesome. Up high!
Knowing what that is Amity gives Luke a high-five and her Abomination gives a harder one to his face that makes him fall on his back. Amity quickly helps him up as he wipes the mud off his face.
Amity: Are you okay!? Sorry, Abominations mimic their owners…a bit too hard.
Luke: It's okay, I'm fine. I've been hit by worse.
Amity: Amity smiles. Well, then, I guess I'll see you around.
Amity leaves, waving Luke off which he returns.
Luke: See you, Amity. Luke then looks to Hexside, holding Rebellion over his shoulder again. My first day in Hexside. This is gonna be epic. I can finally discover my true potential. I wonder if a cute demon girl's gonna fall in love with me.
King: Dream on!
To Luke's surprise King pops out of his bag.
Luke: King?!
King: Boop!
He pokes his cheek, then jumps to the ground. The last thing Luke needs is for King to follow him around and attract too much attention.
Luke: Why are you in my bag?
King: You're a free ride to the best buffet in town! He hops into a trash can and comes out with a half-eaten doughnut. The trash cans here are filled with half-eaten gold!
Luke walks off, pretending to not see this.
Luke: Whatever, but if anyone asks, you don't know me.
King: Have a wonderful school day, person-I-don't-know!
King saw an Abomination student stood in front of him.
Abomination Student: I really needed to hear that.
Luke runs into Willow and Gus by the staircase.
Willow & Gus: Luke!
Luke: Hey there, fellow Hexolios!
Willow: Hello, classmate!
Gus: You did it, Luke!
Gus summons letters reading out "BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME!" When they were supposed to read "CONGRATULATIONS!" causing Willow to glare at him.
Gus: Sorry, I was…uh…covering all my bases.
Willow: So, do you know who those witches are?
Willow gestures to the 10 banners he passed, each banner had what appeared to be a person in them.
Luke: Those depictions are of the ten main coven heads, right? Eda told me about them.
Willow: That's right. Each one excelled at a magic school like Glandus, St. Epiderm, and, of course, Hexside. Are you prepared to enter these hallowed halls?
Luke: Guess I'm about to find out. He runs in. See you on the other side, amigos.
Willow: What does that even mean?
Luke: It's Spanish for "friends".
Gus: See you later, Luke.
He summons letters spelling out "GOODBYE FOREVER!" Willow glares again and Gus becomes sheepishly embarrassed.
Gus: You know what? I'm uh, I'ma just get rid of these.
Principal Bump is in his office working and listening to a crystal ball. A man named Perry speaks from it.
Perry: A terrible development at Glandus High School. Students and teachers were found unconscious and without magic. The cause remains unknown.
Bump: Ha! Take that, Glandus! Looks like this year's grudgby match is going to be a forfeit.
The door opens and in comes Luke walking over to Bump's desk, Rebellion put away.
Luke: Hey, Mr B! Can I call you that?
Bump: Absolutely not. Now, today we'll be visited by the Emperor's Coven for a routine inspection. If we want to impress them, you'll need to join a coven track before they arrive.
Luke: Actually, Principal Bump, I've made my own schedule so I can study every single track. Luke unfurls a long scroll. First, Vet Care for Mythical Beasts, then Healing and Dealing, and then after lunch-
Bump: Bump laughs. Studying multiple tracks at once? No one does that, let alone study every single one.
Luke: That's cool. I'll be the first for both.
Bump: No, you won't. He holds up a rule book with the Emperor's Coven logo on it. According to the rules, a good witch needs to hocus-focus. You can only pick one of the ten tracks. He points to the track banners above him. And you do not want to embarrass me in front of the inspector. I advise you to choose wisely. We used to have enchanted article of clothing to put you in a track but…
(Flashback)
Principal Bump is holding a Choosy Hat, a brown classic witch's hat, over a young student's head.
Young Student: Oh, I'm so excited!
The Choosy Hat is placed on his head. It turns around, a scarecrow-like face appearing on the pointed part speaking in a horrifyingly ghostly tone.
Choosy Hat: And now... I feed!
The brim grows teeth and closes around the student's head, causing him to cry out in pain and horror.
(End of Flashback)
Bump shudders from the memory, still trying to forget the number of students that almost had their heads ripped off. Luke is disappointed to hear this.
Luke: So, I can pick one track and only one?
Bump: Correct.
Luke: Well, as much as that sucks; I want to make a good first impression. So, I guess I can respect your rules and study one track.
Bump: Bump walks up to him. Very good. With that mindset you're sure to make a good impression. Bump motions to the banners. Now, which of the ten will you choose.
Luke thinks for a bit, fingers on his chin as he looks at the banners, stopping and smiling at the Weaponry Banner.
Luke: I know just what to pick.
Luke brought out and opens Rebellion with a grin. Principal Bump smiles, deducing Luke's choice and looks to the Weaponry Banner.
Bump: Ah, yes! The Weaponry Track. Seeing how you wield that sword, it's the perfect one for you.
Principal Bump casts a spell that changes the tunic and cowl of Luke's uniform to the standard black and grey and the sleeves and leggings are now navy blue.
Luke: Way past cool. I think I can work with this.
Bump: I expect you to be on your best behaviour. He looks at a corkboard with pictures of the results of Luke's previous visits to Hexside on it. Based on the costly repairs from recent incidents, we could really use a donation from the Emperor's Coven. A random student screams outside and Bump looks out the window to see the Choosy Hat chasing after students. The Choosy Hat! It broke free.
Luke: I got it!
Luke opens the window, summons and combines his Glyph Guns and takes aim, firing an energy beam that incinerates the monstrous hat. Luke smiles at Bump who gives a blank but impressed look.
Bump: I'll count that as extra credit for you. Now, off to class.
He floats Luke through the door with another spell, sending him off to class.
Luke has entered Weaponry 101 and takes his seat along with other students. All the students have different magical weaponry out, prompting Luke to bring out his and set it on the table. The teacher addresses her students.
Weapons Teacher: Welcome to a new semester! We'll begin the day with combat practice. But before, that we're going to see if you're eligible for it.
The teacher walks to each student, handing them a paper.
Weapons Teacher: Which is why you're all to take this little quiz. If you score high-enough, then you'll be taken to the field. The rest will stay here for a study session. So, let's get started.
When Luke receives his sheet, he takes a look at the questions.
Luke: This doesn't seem so hard. I'll just crush this test and then it's on to some actual combat.
An explosion outside prompts Luke to look out the window.
Willow and Selene are facing off as the wind blows, whipping the former's hair. Selene grabs a crystal ball, out of which pops a mummy-like ghost of purple electrifying energy.
Luke: The Oracle Track!
Willow traces a spell circle that she slams on the ground. A carnivorous flower grows out of the ground and hisses.
Luke: The Plant Track!
The ghost and the plant clash and duke it out which amazes Luke.
Luke: Whoa! I have so gotta ace this quiz!
Luke quickly begins writing.
After the test, Luke and some other Weaponry students are led out into field where Willow and Selene walk back to the crowd of students and teachers that were watching them.
Luke: Yo, Willow!
Willow looks to see Luke waving to her much to her joy.
Willow: Luke!
Willow ran over to him and the rest of the Weaponry students join the crowd.
Luke: I saw how you totally owned that oracle girl! You were a total boss out there!
Willow: Willow blushes. Aww, shucks! Thanks. Ever since I switched to the Plant Track things have taken a turn for the better for me. My grades have gone way up, and I've been gaining more confidence. Willow hugs Luke gratefully. Thanks a lot for getting me this far, Luke.
Luke: Ah, come on Whomping Willow. You were always awesome. I just gave you a little push in the right direction, that's all.
They separate when Principal Bump addresses everyone.
Bump: Alright students. It's time for the next duel. And as usual, I'll be picking at random.
Willow: Principal Bump is about to select which students should duel next. Come on!
Willow grabs Luke's wrist and they quickly join the others, though to Willow's dismay she and Luke stop next to Amity.
Luke: Hey, Ams.
Amity: Amity smiles upon seeing Luke. Oh. Hey, Luke. I see you've made it to combat practice.
Luke: Sure have. I can't wait to see what these guys have got!
When Amity notices Willow the two share frowns.
Amity: Willow.
Willow: Amity.
The two say nothing else, merely crossing their arms and looking away from each other. Luke takes a little step away from the girls, seeing how weird this is.
Luke: Awkward.
Luke feels someone touch his shoulders and turns his head to see it was Edric and Emira.
Edric & Emira: Hey, Luke!
Luke: Hey, Ed. Hey, Em.
Emira: We heard you passed the placement exams and then some. Congrats on getting in…
Edric: And not ending up in the baby's class.
Luke: Thanks! I'd have died of embarrassment if that actually ever happened.
Bump: Bump holds his chin, eyeing the students. Now, who to pick.
Bump carefully makes his choice, eyeing all the students, some of which are eager to be chosen. Then he spots his newest, student, Luke.
Bump: Luke.
Luke, Willow & Amity: Huh?
Bump: He motions her to come over. How would you like to have your first witch's duel at Hexside?
Luke: Me!? Luke becomes excited while Willow, Amity, Edric and Emira are surprised. Hell yeah, I would! And right off the bat, too!
Edric: Knock 'em dead, man.
Luke: That's the plan, Ed!
Luke walks over and Bump presents him to the other students.
Bump: Students, meet our newest student straight from the Human Realm: Luke the Human. I believe most of you are familiar with him.
Luke: Luke finger guns his fellow students. Yo.
He clicks and all the students murmur in surprise to see him.
Student 1: Hey, it's that human kid from the Covention!
Student 2: He's hideous.
Luke: Oh sure. And you're a looker. Please.
Student 3: He's even snarkier in person!
Student 4: What's he doing here?
Student 5: Yeah, humans can't do magic.
Bump: Now, Luke. Since you are a new student, I would normally have you face our top student to get a full grasp of your skills and so you could be shown the ropes. However, since you've already defeated Amity in the Covention…
Willow, Edric and Emira giggles at Amity's annoyed and red look as she calls the principal out.
Amity: Again, I didn't really lose. The duel didn't end officially so it doesn't count on my record! Is no one seriously going to let me live that down!
Emira: Emira ruffles her sister's hair. No, we're not Mittens. No, we're not.
Amity: Amity shoves her off. Stop that!
Bump: Bump clears his throat. …I'll have to pair you with our 2nd top student.
Luke: 2nd top student?
Boscha: That would be me.
Boscha stood on the field a cocky, smug and arrogant grin on her face aimed at Luke as she crosses her arms.
Boscha: Hello again, human.
Willow and Amity cringe, knowing this isn't going to be pretty. The twins don't look worried.
Willow: Uh oh. Boscha.
Amity: This isn't good.
Emira: Actually, this is good.
Edric: We're gonna see Boscha get humiliated.
Amity: But Boscha tends to take things way too far. What if Luke gets hurt?
Edric: Relax, sis, he'll be fine. You've seen what he can do. Luke can handle this, no problem.
Luke narrows his eyes in bemusement at the sight of Boscha.
Luke: You, again?
Boscha walks up, stopping near Bump and standing in front of Luke.
Bump: Ah, good, you two have already met. Then I won't need to introduce you. I expect a fair fight.
Luke: We've met, but what's her name again? Becky? Blandy? Boogie? Boggy? Boscha's left eye twitches and Luke snaps his fingers. Bobo. There it is!
There was a stunned silence from the student spectators, and Boscha's goes red, her eyes widened in shock before contorting with anger and annoyance.
Boscha: ARE YOU DOING THIS ON PURPOSE?! ITS BOSCHA, YOU JERK!
Bump: Boscha, calm yourself.
Bump walks off as Luke glares and Bocha breathes and gives a smirk, her hands on her hips.
Boscha: So, you made it into Hexside, huh, human? She scoffs. That is so weird. I don't know what Bump was thinking.
Luke: Are you kidding me? Does every jackass on the Boiling Isles want to get their butts kicked by me?
Boscha: That's it, keep talking tough, tough guy. You're gonna look pretty stupid when you get beaten by a girl, being me, of course.
Luke: Keep dreaming, three-eyes. Luke casually rests his hands behind his head. You know, I was hoping for a worthy opponent like Amity or Willow for my debut here but instead I get paired up with you.
Boscha: Boscha's cheeks turn read with rage. Hey, I'll have you know next to Amity, I'm top student too!
Luke: You? Top student? I don't know. I mean, you look like you can hold your own, I'll give you that, but compared to Amity you seem more like a cotton candy deadweight in your little group than anything else.
Boscha: Oh, I so can't wait to humiliate you!
Luke: Funny, I was thinking the same thing.
Luke and Boscha share heated glares and Willow gulps in fear, hoping Luke will be okay. Amity reaches out to comfort her but after some hesitance she retracts her hand and watches the duel about to unfold. Edric crosses his arms and Emira has a hand on her hips, both looking forward to how they know this will go.
Edric: Oh, this should be good.
Emira: You got that right.
Luke and Boscha walk a couple distances away from each other, facing one another again, engaged in a stare down as they glare, ready to fight as Principal Bump stood in the centre as a referee. Boscha cracks her knuckles with an evil grin.
Boscha: Don't worry human, I'll make this quick.
Luke: It's not really me, I'm worried about.
Boscha: I'm about show you who's boss in the social hierarchy.
Luke: Bring it!
Bump: Alright, that's enough arguing you two. Are you both ready!?
Boscha casts a large spell circle, summoning two fireballs in her hands.
Boscha: Ready!
Luke swung out Rebellion, opening the blade and getting into a fighting stance.
Luke: Let's rock!
Bump: Then…match, begin!
The duel begins and Boscha brings her fireballs together, thrusting her palms and sending out a barrage of them at Luke who swung around his sword, expertly deflecting them with swings from his sword. He then tosses his blade up and somersaults, summoning his Glyph Guns and firing electric shots at Boscha who uses her finger to summons waves of flames she uses to deflect the bullets before engulfing her hands in flames and charging at Luke with them.
He got up and Boscha lunges throwing 3 punches only for Luke to dodge by leaning his head and left and right while smacking Boscha's fists away with her guns.
Luke: Woo!
He fires shots that Boscha also dodges before throwing a flaming punch that Luke catches and redirects, moving Boscha's fist up and around as it releases a stream of flames until Luke forces it down, giving Boscha a grin.
Luke: Flaming fists? Cool! Too bad you're not at all that hot. That's a human metaphor for calling someone ugly.
Boscha: Shut up!
Boscha tries to throw a punch with her other fist only for Luke to yank and spin around her. Willow's bully stumbles forward, allowing Luke to deliver a weak elbow to the back. She cries out hitting the ground on her face and losing her flaming fists.
The students are in awe at Luke's skills.
Students: Wow!
Amelia: Is…Boscha actually losing?
Amity: It's like Luke's not even trying.
Willow: Yeah. It's like he's toying with her. She grins. It's actually fun to watch.
Edric: See, what'd I tell you? There's nothing to worry about.
Emira: Yeah, Boscha's no match for Luke.
Bump holds his chin, impressed.
Bump: Hmm. Impressive. We just might have ourselves a new star student.
Boscha twists around, glaring at Luke who held a gun over his shoulder and hold other beside him with a grin.
Luke: Come on three-eyes. Put up a fight. Didn't you say you were going to humiliate me!
Boscha: Boscha stood up, getting angrier. I'm gonna wipe that smile off your stupid human face! No one mocks me and gets away with it!
Boscha summons a grudgby ball and traces a spell circle with her other hand, sending fire into the ball and it's alit with flames, surprising Luke this time.
Willow: Oh no! That's one of Boscha's best spell combos!
Skara: No way that human can handle that!
Boscha: Now it's your turn to get burned! Boscha tosses up the ball. Think fast!
Boscha delivers a flip kick and Luke quickly ducks.
Luke: Whoa!
The ball misses him and it explodes somewhere in the forest behind, causing a tree to tip over and fall down.
Boscha: Here's more!
Boscha summons 3 more, she tosses 2 with her hands and sends the other one flying with a flip kick. Luke dodges the first and flips above the second, catching Rebellion which fell from the sky to cut the third one in half. The halved grudgby ball fly's past and explodes. Luke stood up resting Rebellion on his shoulder with a slightly serious look.
Luke: A Grudgby fireball? Not bad. I was slightly serious there for a while.
Boscha: Oh, I'm just getting warmed up!
Boscha summons dozens of flaming grudgby balls floating around her and Luke gets ready, holding up his sword.
Luke: Then it looks like I'll need to cool you off.
Boscha tosses 3 of her flaming balls, which Luke slices in half. 2 more balls are launched,
Student 1: Whoa! They've turned this witch's duel into a Grudgby match!
Student 2: So cool!
Willow: Whoa! Luke's really having fun with this!
Edric: That's it! Don't stop now!
Dragon Ball Super - Antagonistic Battle
Unbeknownst to anyone, 3 pairs of eyes were watching the duel from a door hidden on the wall behind them. They watch as Luke cuts 4 more grudgby balls in half.
Girls: Wow. He's good.
Boy: He's very good.
Boscha launches more balls with a frustrated grunt. Luke (having dismissed Rebellion) leapt and does a split, dodging 2 of them. Two of them came from left and right, prompting Luke to quickly bend back, barely dodging them. He got on his hand and when another ball is launched at him he kicks it into the air. He then flips upside down, delivering a strong kick to the fiery grudgby ball and sends it back at Boscha who retaliates by sending it away with a spin kick and launches two more grudgby balls. Luke flips and spun through a gap between two balls, bringing out an Ice Glyph and slamming it onto the ground and summoning a pillar of ice to stop another grudgby ball. The students are in shock at what they witnessed.
Student 1: He just did magic!
Student 2: How'd he do that!?
Student 3: Humans can't do magic!
Amity smiles, secretly cheering for Luke.
Willow: Go, Luke!
Emira: Woo-hoo!
Edric: Take her down a peg or too, buddy!
The ball burns through and Luke catches it, surprised to find a brand-new Glyph he's never seen burned onto it.
This glyph features a larger circle at the bottom of the spell circle with a dot in the centre. On top is a smaller circle with a curved triangle on top. Another curved triangle is also included on top of the bigger circle, which goes over the smaller circle.
Luke: A new Glyph?! He gets out a blank piece of paper, deducing what the glyph does. If this came from fire magic, then that means…
Luke puts the onto the ball, burning the glyph onto the paper. He taps it, activating a fire spell and the ball is on fire now much to his and everyone's shock. Bump is further impressed.
Amity: Fire magic!?
Bump: This is getting interesting.
Luke: Awesome! A Fire Glyph!
Boscha: Boscha is almost speechless. What!? But-but-but, how!?
Luke: Luke grins. We humans like to call it improvisation. Time to turn up the heat!
Luke tosses up the ball and delivers another flip kick, sending the flaming grudgby ball flying at Boscha. She quickly responds by kicking her last grudgby ball and they both collide, trying to overpower each other. When he lands, Luke summons a Glyph Gun and stood up to fire one shot that gave his ball a big push and it blasts against Boscha's ball like a rocket. She gasps in horror and screams in pain when both balls slam into her. She hits the ground hard with a grunt, singed a little and her face covered in bruises.
...
The students cringe a little except for Willow who was enjoying every minute of this.
Willow: Oooh! She giggles. That had to hurt.
Amity: Ouch.
Emira: We've got to take pictures to post on Pensta.
Edric: Edric summons a scroll. I'm all over it!
Boscha's gang are stunned to see their leader being beaten so easily.
Skara: I can't believe this guy is beating Boscha so badly!
Cat: And to add insult to injury he used her own move against her.
Amelia: If this keeps up, Boscha's going to be humiliated!
Boscha grunts as she sat up, glaring at Luke as he spun his gun with a grin.
Boscha: You…!
Luke: Had enough three-eyes? You're welcome to forfeit anytime.
Boscha stood up fuming with rage and hatred, a crazed look in her eyes.
Boscha: I'm going to blast that smile off you stupid non-magic FACE!
She forms two spell circles, bringing them together to form a black rocket launcher with a long, serrated bayonet attached to it.
Devil May Cry 3 - M-3 End (Lady Appearance)
She takes aim and fires a missile flying straight for Luke. He quickly flips back in the air, dodging the missile as it explodes in the forest and he lands. He spreads his gun, excited.
Luke: Whoa-ho! Cool rocket launcher! I didn't know those were a thing on the Boiling Isles.
Boscha: My mom found it one day on the beach. Probably another one of your human things that fell into the Boiling Seas. She passed it down to me when I became the star of the Banshees. I call it the Kalina.
Luke: Cute name. You know I bet you'd be great at parties with that.
Edric: Huh. I forgot Boscha had that.
Amity: Luke better be careful.
Willow: Yeah. Boscha's really mad.
Emira: Relax. He's got this.
Boscha casts a fire spell inside the Kalina, and it flares up for a brief moment as she glares.
Boscha: Joke while you can. This thing has been tweaked out by Blight Industries. They made this thing magical! This time you're gonna get burned!
Boscha fires another missile, and it swirls with flames this time, heading straight for Luke.
Willow: Look out, Luke!
Luke is unfazed by the missile and at the last second when it gets inches from his face Luke bends back, dodging the missiles and then getting right on it. Luke rides the missile around in a circle, cheering like a child as he does so much to everyone's shock.
Luke: WOO!
Boscha: Hey!
Edric: Is he actually riding that missile!?
Luke continues riding the missile, childishly cheering and whooping, having the time of his life.
Luke: WOO-HOO! WOO! HA-HA! WOO-HOO! WOO! WOO-HOO-HOOO!
When the missile begins to head straight Luke flips, off landing on the ground and looking up
Luke: WOO! Luke faces back at Boscha, thumbing over to the explosion. Man, that'd be totally cool for fireworks at parties!
Boscha has her mouth agape in horror and disbelief and shakes her head in denial.
Boscha: I-it was luck! It was blind, stupid luck you were able to do that!
Luke: Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Can't you tell with those three-eyes.
Boscha: Grr! SHUT UP!
Boscha charges at Luke, her blade coated in flames and lunges at Luke who parries with his gun, dodges a second slash and when Bosha thrust he spun around her, shoving her in the back and send her stumbling away. She turns with a growl and lunges again but Luke quickly dismisses his gun and summons Rebellion, blocking Boscha. He pushes her off and the two exchange 3 swings before locking blades. They quickly separate and leapt back a good distance from each other.
Boscha takes aim with her rocket launcher and Luke retracts his blade, summoning a Glyph Gun in his free hand, taking aim with. The Grudgby star gives a cocky smirk.
Boscha: You seriously think that little toy of yours can beat my cannon!
Luke: Only one way to find out. Hit me with your best shot.
Boscha: You asked for it human!
Boscha presses the trigger and fires one more flaming missile headed straight for Luke. With a grin, the human boy counters by shooting one bullet.
A tiny bullet and a large missile were about to collide in the centre and to everyone's shock and amazement the bullet pierces right through the missile and causes it to blow up.
...
The explosion catches Boscha and sends her flying and screaming, losing her rocket launcher in the process. She hits the ground hard with a grunt. When she tried to get up, Luke stood on her shoulder and wrist, pointing Rebellion at her neck with a triumphant grin. Boscha is in shock, struggling to process she has been beaten.
Luke: Jackpot. That's your head.
Boscha: But…but…you're just a human. A stupid, powerless human.
Luke: Not how it looks from here three-eyes.
Boscha: You…what are you?
Luke: Me? Nobody. With a grin he rests his sword on his shoulder. Just the average non-magic but totally badass human. Must be embarrassing to be get owned by one and a friend of Willow.
Willow giggles at Luke's mockery, even Amity's struggling to hold in her laughter. Skara, Cat and Amilia are stunned watching Boscha get repeatedly mocked while the students murmur in awe. Boscha growls in rage and humiliation. The students are agape in amazement while Principal Bump applauds Luke's performance.
Principal Bump: I'd say we have a winner. Excellent performance Luke. Well done!
Soon all the students are clapping and applauding Luke except for Boscha's gang.
Student 1: Wow! That human is so cool!
Student 2: Is he single! I want him to be single!
Student 3: I take back everything mean thing I said about him!
Willow and Amity clap for Luke too, the former squealing in delight.
Willow: Luke won! He was amazing!
Out of instinct she hugs Amity much to the youngest Blight's surprise. When Willow realizes what she's doing she pushes her away and turns, crossing her arms with a scoff. Amity frowns and does the same. The twins walk over.
Edric: There was no doubt in my mind he'd win.
Emira: Same here. I'd say that human has got a future here.
Edric: Better be careful mittens. You've got some real competition for top student.
Amity shows no care by merely staring at Luke with a smile.
Boscha struggles to get lift herself up as Luke walks off still resting Rebellion on his shoulder. But not before grinning at Boscha and giving a two-fingered salute.
Luke: See you around number 3. Or maybe number 4 because based on what I've seen, Willow can kick your butt just as easily.
He walks off to join the students, leaving Boscha to clutch her chest, glaring in hatred. Skara, Cat and Amelia ran over to her, helping her up.
Skara: Boscha! Are you okay!?
Boscha says nothing, growling in rage as she glares at Luke, watching him be surrounded by students shaking his hand and patting him on the back, popularity she believes should belong to her. Willow hugs Luke, Emira punches his shoulder and Edric ruffles his hair. Amity is nowhere to be seen. In a fit of rage, Boscha screams and punches the ground in frustration.
Amelia: Whoa! Boscha, calm down!
Cat: Don't let it get to you!
Boscha: That human humiliated me! This isn't right! I'm a top student! She angrily looks up. That should be me receiving all that popularity! She narrows her eyes, determined. I'll spend the entire semester making that human regret he ever enrolled here! I'll make him pay!
After more matches, the students went back to scheduled classes and Luke was having a good time in the weaponry classes, learning some new combat techniques, different types of weaponry spells (even though he can't use any) and a whole lot more.
After a couple hours, the bell inhales, seemingly about to scream but instead it rings a smaller dinner bell. Students were walking down the hallway, conversing with each other. Luke held some books, stood by his locker which is actually a living being, confused as he doesn't know how to open it.
Luke: How does this work?
Willow & Gus: Luke!
Luke smiles upon seeing Willow and Gus excitedly run over, giving them wave.
Luke: Hey there, amigos. What's up?
Gus: You're what's up!? Willow told me what happened at combat practice! You kicked butt! And not just any butt! You kicked Boscha's butt! Is that true!?
Luke: Yup, piece of cake.
Willow: Wow, Luke! You were amazing! You handled Boscha's spells like a pro! You should've been there to see it, Gus!
Gus: I wish I was! Seeing Boscha get put in her place would've been a dream come true!
Luke: If I ever get paired with Boscha again you just might. Luke frowns. Though to be honest I hope I never get paired again. I'm amazed someone as lame as that could possibly be a top student. Totally pathetic, just my luck to get paired up with such a worthless opponent.
Willow: Aww. Don't worry, Luke. Maybe next time we'll be paired together for combat practice. I have a couple tricks I'm saving just for you.
Luke: Luke finger guns her. Now that's something I look forward to Whomping Willow.
Boscha was hidden by a corner listening to the trio speak. She clutches the corner hard, gritting her teeth as she hears Luke mock her.
Gus: You've only been here for a couple hours and already you're making a good impression.
Luke: I'm a little surprised myself. For a moment I was worried I'd make everyone scared of me or humiliate myself, but this is going great. And for the first time, I love school!
Willow: How's the Weaponry Track going for you?
Luke: It's pretty cool. I'm loving learning about different demon weapons and learning new combat techniques. Also, they taught me about devils. You know in my world devil is just another word for demon, but it turns out in this realm, they're a different species of demons.
Willow: Yeah. They are. Devils were the most powerful warrior demons alive.
Gus: They're real masters with weapons and weaponry magic. And they're totally capable of a whole lot more.
Luke: Way past cool! Maybe, one day I could meet one and he could give me some tips with my sword.
Willow: Willow and Gus cringe a little. Uh…I wouldn't count on that Luke.
Gus: Devils don't live on the Boiling Isles anymore.
Luke: Wait, what?
Willow: You see, over a decade ago, a really powerful devil tried to kill the emperor.
Luke: Emperor? This place has an emperor?
Gus: Yeah. Emperor Belos. He rules over the entire Boiling Isles and ensures order throughout it. It was him who developed the Coven System to prevent magic from going out of control.
Luke is surprised by this new piece information.
Luke: Seriously? So, this Belos guy is the reason why witches join covens?
Gus: Yup. And he's well-loved because of it. He has a lot of supporters around the isles.
Willow: Which is a reason why devils aren't exactly a popular species these days.
Luke: Because one tried to kill Belos? Did this devil have a name? Was he famous?
Gus: Yeah, he was famous! He was a total legend throughout the isles!
Willow: He was called the Legendary Dark Knight, Sparda.
Luke widens his eyes in surprise from hearing that name.
Luke: Sparda!? "That's the name of one of Eda's friends! Could it be the same guy!?"
Willow: From what I read and heard; the battle was close. Sparda got away and the attempt on his life caused Belos to decree all devils extremely dangerous. So, he had them captured and banished from the isles.
Luke: Wait, so you're saying this guy banished an entire race because one tried to kill him? That's a little extreme, isn't it?
Gus: Yeah. A little. But at least he didn't kill them, am I right?
Willow: There's a rumour around Bonesborough that there's only one devil secretly living on the Boiling Isles, but no one knows who it is. Devils can look like ordinary demons whenever they want so no one can possibly know if one is out there or not.
Luke: Whoa…that's deep.
Luke isn't liking the sound of the emperor. He's the reason for this crooked Coven System, most likely also the reason why Eda's on the run and he banished an entire species of demons out of fear.
Luke: Anyhow…changing the subject, as cool as the Weaponry Track is, it would've been cooler to study all the tracks.
Gus: Yeah. That would be cool. But you know the rules, Luke.
Luke: Yeah, yeah, I know. Hocus, focus.
Boscha listens closely to what they're saying interest, trying to figure out a way to get back at Luke.
Luke: Pretty stupid rule if you ask me but, hey, I'm trying to put on a good impression. Plus, it's not like Bump can stop me from studying other magic outside of school.
Willow: Just as long as you're careful not to do it inside at school. Boscha puts a finger on her chin. If Bump were to catch you mixing magic, who knows how much trouble you'll be in. You could get expelled.
Boscha gasps in surprise, an idea for revenge coming to her mind. She gives an evil grin and looks to see Selene placing her crystal ball in a cabinet among other balls. Boscha immediately walks over to it.
Luke: Luke dismisses the concerns with his hands. As long as I mix magic outside of school and not inside I've got nothing to worry about. So, I'll be fine.
The bell rings and screams again, signalling the next class.
Gus: Looks like break's over. We'd better get to our class.
Luke: Mind telling me how to open these lockers? I don't see anything to open them with.
Willow: Oh, that's easy. They have a tickle spot. Just give them a good tickle and they'll open up.
Luke looks at his fingers and gives his locker a tickle, causing it to open its mouth wide, weirding Luke out a little.
Luke: This world continues to weird me out. He smiles at his friends. Well, thanks for that amigos. I'll see you guys after class.
Willow: Willow and Gus walk away, waving. See you, Luke.
Luke puts his books inside the locker and its mouth closes. But before he could head to his next class he feels something tap foot behind. He looks down to see a crystal ball having stopped near him.
Luke: A crystal ball? He picks it up, confused. What's a perfectly good crystal ball doing rolling around here? Luke looks around and spots the cabinet with crystal balls, one spot empty. It must've rolled off from there. Might as well put it back.
He proceeds to walk over to the cabinet and put the ball inside but to Luke's surprise it glows much to his curiosity as he brings it closer, and he's taken aback when out comes the mummified ghost Selene used.
Spirit: You will be in trouble very soon.
Luke: Whoa! He double takes. Wait, what?
Bump: Ahem!
Luke looks to see an angered Principal Bump stood in front of him, having caught the new student in the act of using Oracle magic.
Bump was now dragging Luke down the hall by his cowl and the human boy is unable to escape.
Luke: Principal Bump, this is a big misunderstanding! I wasn't studying other Oracle magic! I was just putting the ball back in its cabinet, I swear! That ghost thing came out on its own!
Bump: Perhaps, so, but with the inspection coming I won't take any chances.
Luke: But sir! King climbs out of a trash can. King! Vouch for my character!
King: Uh…right! I don't know you!
Luke glares at King as Principal Bump continues dragging him away. Boscha pokes out of another corner, cackling in satisfaction to see her plan worked.
Boscha: That's what you get for making an enemy out of me, human.
Before long, Bump had arrived at a classroom with bars on the door window before he opened it and pushed Luke inside. The inside of the classroom looked more like a prison with dull grey walls and bars over the windows and inside, and 3 random student and one teacher sitting inside.
The girl had brown hair with four wefted bangs and a messy bun held together by a dark orange, spiky hair tie, green eyes with one lash on the top and one lash on the bottom, and a fishhook earring in her right ear. Her uniform cowl patterned ripped and held together by a large thumbtack in the middle and her skirt is ripped on the side and tied together.
Next to her was a dog had a human-like face, covered with chestnut fur with light tan fur on his stomach and neck area. He had dark orange tufts of hair on his head and two ears pointing upward, with a small gold hoop earring on his right ear. He had blue eyes hidden behind green tinted square glasses with white tape in the middle and black eyebrows. His uniform was only a cowl and two sleeves for his front legs.
Next to him was the last of the trio and the tallest of the group, he had brown short hair wefted over the right side of his forehead, thick black eyebrows, a pointed nose, and brown eyes. His uniform was normal except that his cowl hood was ripped.
Luke: What is this place?
Bump: This is the place where all troublemakers go. He casts a spell, turning Luke's sleeves and leggings dark grey. The Detention Track.
Luke: WHAT!? Detention track? How!? Didn't me and Gus-?
Bump: Yes. Actual detention still needs...repairs. In the meantime, I am keeping all troublemakers far away from the eyes of the inspector. You may try for a new track next year.
Luke: Next year!? But I'll be back in the human world by then.
Bump: Then perhaps this wasn't meant to be. I'm sorry Luke.
The door closes as Principal Bump leaves. Luke is annoyed with how badly this day has just turned and it becomes awkward when he sees everyone staring at him. Luke walks over to the other students' sitting next to the girl as they shift their attention towards the window, ignoring him.
Luke: Uh…hey there fellow troublemakers. Room for one more? They just ignore him and things get awkward. Uh…I like your spikey hairband.
Detention Teacher: Hey! You all better be quiet, unless you want to scrub the classroom again.
Luke: Luke firmly stood up. Hey, back off 6-eyes! I was the one trying to start a conversation! If you're gonna punish anyone, punish me!
Detention Teacher: Oh, hurray. A hero.
The teachers casts a spell and a mop and bucket appear in Luke's hands much to his dismay.
Luke: Slag it.
Luke walks off to clean the classroom, not noticing the girl smiling at him, impressed and touched by his actions.
(Timeskip)
Meanwhile, with King while he was rummaging through trash a teacher quits his job and King accidentally becomes a substitute when he wears his tie, and the students mistake him for a teacher. Seeing this as a position of power King takes the job and the students accept.
Back in the detention room, the jerk teacher is casually asleep, and Luke is polishing the bars on the windows with a sad look. A teacher walks past the window outside with younger kids following her.
Spider Teacher: Alright, kids. Who wants to go on a field trip to the astral planes?
Braxas: Yay!
Student: I do!
Luke: Luke sighs as he watches the kids have fun. Well, this sucks. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd rather be in the baby class than this dump.
Willow: Luke!
Luke watches Willow and Gus run up to him.
Luke: Willow! Gus! Am I glad to see you guys!
Gus: What's going on? We didn't see you in any classes or in the cafeteria.
Luke: Principal Bump locked me in the detention track.
Willow: The detention track?! Why?!
Luke: All I did was try put a crystal ball back in its cabinet and he assumes I was mixing magic all because of some dumb inspection.
Willow: This is bad! You can't do anything in there!
Gus: Yeah! You'll learn absolutely nothing!
Luke: There's gotta be some way I can convince Bump to change his mind! You guys gotta bust me out of this prison so I can talk with him.
Gus: Don't worry. We'll get you out, dead or alive! Willow deadpans at Gus, shaking her head in disapproval. Okay. Alive.
Luke: Gracias, amigos! I really owe you one!
Gus: I assume that meant, "Thank you my friends"
Luke: Luke fingers gun with click. You got it. He hears a chair squeak. Uh oh! Teacher's waking up! I gotta go! Luke turns to see the girl he was sat next stood very close to him. He gasps in surprise. Hey! It's you!
Girl: Shh.
The girl points to the snoring Detention Teacher, then gestures for Luke to follow her which he does to the chalkboard. She draws a square on the chalkboard with a keyhole in the centre, then turns the chalk in the hole like a key. The square glows and swings open, revealing a passageway.
Luke: Whoa.
The girl climbs through the hole, then helps Luke through and the secret door closes behind him.
Luke: What is this place?
The girl gets in his face with an intimidating glare, placing her finger against his chest.
Viney: This is the last room you'll ever see alive. After a scary pause the girl gives a friendly smile and dismisses Luke's fear with a hand wave. Nah. Just messing with ya. I'm Viney.
Luke: The two shake hands. You are one terrifying lady and I have pure respect for that. I'm Luke.
Viney: Oh, we've heard of you. You're that human boy who challenged Amity to a witch's duel in the convention. We watched the entire battle.
Luke: Yup, that's me.
Viney: Gosh, you were really amazing! And that was one wicked sword you had. We also secretly watched your duel with Boscha. You really put her in her place. Most of us here hate that three-eyed jerk. She blasted me into a forest with her Grudgby balls once. We were totally rooting for you to win.
Luke: Thanks, Viney.
Viney: Same here. Thanks for standing up for us back there. Not many people would do that. Follow me! I wanna show you something. Viney leads Luke to a door with "Keep out" sign. You're one of us troublemakers now, so you'll get special access to the Secret Room of Shortcuts!
Viney opens a door, revealing a massive, towering room with a spiralling ramp. The walls, floor, and ceiling are covered in doors and windows of all irregular shapes and sizes and arranged and positioned in the strangest of ways much to Luke's amazement.
Luke: Holy crap!
Viney: Hey, Jerbo! Barcus! You can stop hiding now!
Jerbo, the tall boy and Barcus, the dog demon emerges from a door.
Jerbo: How do we know he's cool, man? How do we know he won't turn us in? He looks to Barcus What do you think? Barcus barks his answers and Jerbo translates. Barcus says your aura is strong, adventurous and fierce yet gentle and innocent with a baby's laughter. He smiles. Welcome!
Viney: Luke and Viney share a smile. Sorry about the silent treatment back there. We weren't sure if we could trust you.
Luke: That's cool, I totally get it, no hard feelings. This is so cool! I love secret rooms! Always full of mysteries and awesome stuff like this! Where do the doors go?
Luke opens one and now he finds himself peeking out some of the lockers in the hallway where Amity is pacing and talking to herself.
Amity: So, you two go to the same school now, that doesn't change anything.
Luke shuts the door which Amity misses when she thought she heard something.
Viney: This place connects the different parts of the school. We found it after being thrown in the detention track. The witch who made it is known as... She gestures to a portrait defaced with graffiti, paint and signatures. Lord Calamity!
Jerbo: Jerbo walks over to the portrait. They started this troublemaker wall, and we added our names in their honour.
Luke: This place is nuts! I bet you guys can pull A LOT of pranks from here.
Viney chuckles, loving Luke's mischievous personality trait.
Viney: Sure, we can, but we can also do so much more.
She points to where Barcus is listening in on an Oracle class. Luke walks up and watches with him.
Oracle Teacher: Remember, seeing the end of a life is the beginning of reading a fortune. We have to work backwards from it to see the truth.
The teacher folds a fortune teller paper. Luke notices a longing look on Barcus' face as he also folds one.
Viney and Jerbo are sat on the floor.
Viney: We aren't allowed to study any kind of magic, so we study every kind of magic in secret.
Luke jumps down sitting near them.
Luke: You actually like school?
Viney: Yeah, we might have liked it too much.
(Flashback)
In this flashback, Jerbo is wearing a Plant Track uniform in a classroom with Principal Bump watching him
Jerbo: I tried mixing plant magic with abominations.
Jerbo casts a spell that makes a flower bloom, delighting Bump…until he casts another spell that makes an earthy Abomination rise from the pot and runs around, tossing flowerpots.
Jerbo: Bump was not thrilled.
A bemused Bump gets hit in the face with a wad of dirt, making Jerbo sheepish.
Next, in the Potion classroom Barcus (wearing a Potions track uniform) mixes potions with Bump and Potion Teacher watching.
Jerbo: Barcus mixed potions with oracle magic.
Barcus then dumps a crystal ball into it. The Potions Teacher looks into the cauldron and sees herself rapidly age until she becomes a withered skeleton. She screams and falls backwards, flipping a large cauldron over herself. Principal Bump shakes his head at Barcus.
In a Healing classroom, where Viney wearing a Healing track uniform, is looking at a scratch on a Bard student's arm as Principal Bump enters the room.
Viney: Mixing healing and beast keeping was slightly unconventional.
Viney heals the Bard's arm, then draws another spell circle. A young but large griffin bursts through the chalkboard.
Viney: But Puddles was a great assistant, dang it!
Puddles coughs up lollipops and Viney notices Bump glaring at her, not amused to see her mixing magic and the damage she just caused with her pet.
(End of Flashback)
Luke is annoyed to find out these students are in the Detention Track simply because of their desire to learn more and mix magic.
Luke: You guys are in for mixing magic? Same.
Viney: You mixed magic too, Luke.
Luke: Not exactly. I was just putting a crystal ball back in its cabinet, but a ghost came out and Bump flips out thinking I was using Oracle magic.
Jerbo: Barcus barks. Barcus says there's something you should probably see.
Another door is opened via lockers for Luke, Viney, Jerbo and Barcus to poke their heads out to see Boscha speaking with Skara, Cat and Amelia.
Boscha: You should've all been there to see that human's face as Bump dragged him away to the new Detention Room! It was so priceless!
The girls burst into hysterical laughter.
Skara: And to think, all you had to do was roll a crystal ball towards him.
Luke furrows his eyebrows in anger, now knowing who got him in trouble.
Boscha: I didn't need to do any more than that. That round eared freak was stupid enough to do the work for me.
Luke grits his teeth, slowly fuming.
Boscha: He won't be able to study any kind of magic 'till next year. Doubt he'll be sticking around this realm for that long.
As Boscha and her gang laugh more, Luke growls furiously, clutching the door. Viney, Jerbo and Barcus give Boscha equally disgusted looks.
Viney: Yeah…it turns out Boscha is a little sore about losing that duel to you.
Jerbo: She probably sent that crystal ball to you to set you up and get you in trouble.
Luke: That little, three-eyed piece of…! So, she's a jackass and a sore loser! Well, I'll show her! Luke mischievously grins as he brings up his new Fire Glyph. Time to give this douchebag a real blast.
Viney: What are you gonna do with that?
Luke: Just watch my fellow troublemaker.
Boscha: With that human out of the way I'd say I'm back on top. That'll teach him who runs this school.
None of them saw the Fire Glyph get tossed and stick onto Boscha's back, activating and created a burst of flames. Her gang's taken aback when Boscha screams and blasts into the wall in front of them, then randomly flies around hallway crashing into lockers, walls and the ceiling. Boscha screams as she blasts down the hall and smashes out the window where the flames dissipate and she falls down, landing headfirst in a trash can which fortunately broke her fall.
Skara, Amelia and Cat had their mouths agape in shock and quickly ran over to the window, not noticing the secret door close.
Inside the Room of Shortcuts, Luke, Viney, Jerbo and Barcus had burst into a fit of laughter over Boscha's humiliation, Barcus was on his belly, Luke was on his back and Jerbo had an arm wrapped around Viney.
A few minutes later the four of them were sat together back on the lower area.
Viney: That was awesome! How did you do that!?
Jerbo: Yeah! Humans can't normally do magic! No offense.
Luke: None taken. And to answer your question fellow troublemakers…
Luke takes out a Light and Electric Glyph, activating them and forming electric and light orbs in each hand much to Viney, Jerbo and Barcus' amazement.
Viney & Jerbo: Whoa!
Luke smacks them both together and releases a gold bolt of electricity into the ceiling, charring it a little.
Viney: That was…amazing!
Jerbo: You can make magic out of paper?
Luke: Us humans don't have magical abilities like you demons. So, I've had to improvise. I even apply the glyphs to my sword and guns.
Viney: Wow. You're really something else, Luke.
Luke: Thanks. Not to brag, but even without magic I can totally kick ass. Back from where I'm come from, I'm a pretty decent martial artist.
Jerbo: What about the sword fighting? And all that shooting? Where'd you learn how to fight like that?
Luke: I have no idea to be honest. I had been teaching myself sword-fighting for a long time but for some reason I feel like I was born to be a sword fighter and gunslinger. It's pretty weird but I'm not complaining. He gives a bright smile. I had Bump's jaws dropping during the placement exam with all that. He frowns. Too bad that didn't stop him from tossing me in this prison. He double takes. Oh, I'm not talking about this prison. This prison's way past cool. I'm talking about the one back there with the douchebag 6-eyes.
Viney: Yeah. We know exactly how you feel. We all want to be in more than one coven track. But Bump just says we need to…
Luke: Luke narrows his eyebrows, unamused. Hocus Focus. That 'bout right.
Viney: Yeah.
Luke: Yeesh. Bump's priorities are seriously screwed up. Schools and teachers are supposed to help kids like us unleash their full potential, not seal them away. I literally see no problem in mixing magic. It could lead to something amazing! I think you guys are cool for wanting to mix magic. You guys are just following your passions. I totally get what that's like.
Viney: The three of them smile gratefully. Yes! Finally, someone sees that! If only Principal Bump could see that!
Luke: His head is way too hooked on that dumb inspection from the Emperor Coven. Someone's really gotta remind him school's about helping students not sealing away their potential.
Viney: Viney places a hand on his shoulder. I'm glad you're one of us. You've made a great first impression. Luke smiles as he Viney pulls out a marker. Would you like to add your name to the troublemaker wall?
Luke: Oh, ho, ho! Don't mind if I do! Can you make this blue?
Viney does so with a spell, Luke takes the marker and runs over to the portrait. He writes his name on the wall right next to the portrait. The three detention students walk over.
Vinet: And with that you're officially one of us troublemakers.
Willow: Luke? We're here to get you out of that horrible class.
Luke: Everyone looks at Luke. For the record I didn't call this a horrible place. You guys are awesome in my book.
Deciding to check out who this was, Viney walked towards the secret door and opened it to peak at Willow and Gus standing in the detention room.
Gus: Maybe he already booked it. Willow whistles like she's calling a dog. Or maybe he's gone to the bathroom.
Willow: Do they even allow bathroom breaks in here?
Gus shrugs as Viney closes the wall, turning to Luke walking up to her.
Viney: Friends of yours.
Luke: Yep. I needed them to bust me out so I could speak with Principal Bump about the misunderstanding. But now, I'm going to talk to him about you guys too.
Jerbo: Really!? You'd do that for us!? Can you do that for us?!
Barcus: Barcus sneezes with a smile. (Your aura is even brighter than I expected.)
Luke: Not sure. But I'm gonna give it a try. No way am I leaving my new pals high and dry. And don't worry, I'll keep this room secret. Us troublemakers stick together. He confuses Viney by holding out his fist. This is a fist bump. Humans do them to show friendship or go with greetings.
Viney: Oh! Cool! Viney bumped her fist with Luke's. And thanks, Luke. She surprises Luke with a hug. This really means a lot to us.
Luke blushes a little and returns the hug with one arm.
Luke: Don't mention it.
He takes his leave, giving a goodbye with a two-fingered salute.
Back in the classroom, Gus plays with the Detention Teacher's moustache.
Gus: Man, this guy can sleep through anything. He grabs a mop. I'm gonna test that theory.
Willow: No. We have to find Luke. If only these walls could talk.
Luke pushes the wall door open much to Willow's surprise.
Luke: Hiiiii.
Willow: Thank you, walls! Wait, is that a secret room?
Luke: You didn't see anything.
Willow: Luke climbs out. Oh…okay. Anyway, we found a way to get you out to talk to Principal Bump.
Luke: Sweet! Let's go to him now!
Gus: We have an expert disguise! He runs out and grabs a trash can with two holes in the bottom. Hop in! It's got holes for your teenage legs.
Luke looks at the wall as Viney closes the door. He then stares at the trashcan for a few moments before walking past Willow and Gus.
Luke: Yeah…no thanks. I think I'd rather take my chances with the Trouble Sniffers.
Gus and Willow share a look before dropping the trash can and following… but Gus pops up next to the still-snoring detention teacher, putting a mop on his face and amazingly he's still sleeping.
Gus: Incredible.
Outside, the inspector arrives. A swirl of blue energy appeared in front of the stairs, scaring off a few nearby students in the process. It dissipates, revealing the inspector as a pale skin woman with indigo hair held up in a swirled bun and wore a grey dress with a yellow badge. She walks up to Bump on the staircase.
Bump: Welcome to Hexside, inspector.
Inspector: Greetings, Principal Bump. If everything's in order, the Emperor's Coven will be happy to cover your repairs.
Bump: Excellent. Please come this way. We've prepared a show with some of our finest students.
Honoured to have been picked to give the inspector a presentation on behalf of her class, Amity made sure she gave the best performance she could. As the abomination stomped on stage, it growled and held Amity up like a figure skater. Together, they posed, showing just how in sync she was with her creation. She's put down.
Amity: And that concludes the presentation from the Abomination Track.
Amity and her abomination bow. Bump and a couple other students from the Abomination track applaud her.
Bump: That was some real Hexside magic, huh?
Inspector: Yes, this is... good! A sinister grin appears. But let's see if your student can put up more of a fight!
She stood up and walked to the stage before Principal Bump could have a moment to process what she said as she threw her clipboard away.
Bump: Yes, yes—wait, what?
Amity, not sure what was going on, just stood there as the inspector approached her with this evil look in her eyes. Something wasn't right. And that thought was only amplified when the inspector slammed her hands down on the stage.
The young witch watched in horror as the inspector's face deformed, revealing a hideous-looking creature that retained the hairstyle, except her skin turned pale yellow, and her green eyes became frog-like and droopy. She grew webbed ears, and her head elongated to form a mouth that could open up abnormally wide with razor-sharp teeth to swallow its prey.
And the way she was looking at Amity while licking its face, the green-haired witch knew she was next on the menu. Bump stared in shock while the other students ran.
Bump: Is…uh…this part of the inspection?
Amity: Abomination, fight!
Amity's abomination runs forward and grabs the inspector. The inspector fully transformed. Her body turned into a massive serpentine-like creature as her clothes tore and widened, her hands turned into claws, and sharp scales formed on her arms.
No longer needing to hide her true form, she flung the abomination into the air, before opening her mouth and swallowing the abomination. It slithers toward Amity, who backs away in fear.
Inspector: The magic at Glandus High was tasty. But I hope yours will be more filling.
Bump: Bump gets between Amity and the inspector. Amity, stay back. She's an impostor!
About to attack, Principal Bump drew out a spell circle. However, the inspector was faster. She opened her mouth as wide as she could and inhaled, swallowing the spell circle. But it wasn't just the circle. Bump's skin turned grey, and he collapsed on the ground as his magic was drained from his body and eaten by the monster. He collapsed to the ground and the creatures grabs Amity who screams in fear and horror.
King was enjoying teaching class and indoctrinating his will upon the students until he hears the creature roaring from the auditorium which he arrives in.
King: Excuse me! Could you keep it down? Mr. King's trying to mold young minds here!
The inspector was about to suck the life out of a terrified Amity until she looks to see an equally frightened King.
King: I can see that I'm interrupting, so I'm just gonna...
He backs out through the door, screaming and running away. This distraction allows Amity to cast a fire spell that explodes on the Inspector's face causing her to release Amity and the young witch quickly runs for it with the creature following behind.
Meanwhile, Luke, Willow and Gus walk down the hallway.
Willow: Don't worry, Luke! Once we talk to Bump, we'll get everything sorted out.
Luke: And maybe we can convince him to let those other students study multiple tracks.
Gus: And unless a monster's attacking the school, everything should be fine!
Amity: HELP!
Luke, Willow and Gus are surprised to see Amity running towards them in panic.
Luke, Willow & Gus: Amity!?
She stops right in front of them, panting heavily before looking up.
Amity: Luke, Willow, Gus! Can I call you Gus?
Gus: Absolutely!
Luke: Whoa! What the heck happened to you Amity? You look like you had an encounter with death.
Amity: I think I just did! You guys have gotta help me! A monster's attacking the school and it sucked the magic out of Principal Bump. It almost got me too!
Luke: A monster?
Amity: First it looked like an Inspector from the Emperor's Coven and then it shapeshifted into a giant snake-like monster with horrible teeth.
Luke: Whoa…
Willow: Willow crosses her arms in contempt. Well, isn't this a surprise. Amity Blight asking for help from those who are beneath her. Unless this is just another tactic to pick on me.
Luke: Uh…Willow…
Amity: Willow, please! I'm not here to pick on you! You've got to believe me!
Willow: It's hard to believe you'd want help from Half-A-Witch-Willow!
Amity: Willow, I-!
Gus: Holy Titan! What is that!?
Gus points over to the Oracle Teacher is running away from the monster, which is taking over most of a hallway. The teacher stops and casts a beam of light. The inspector slurps the beam of light up like spaghetti. The teacher falls, drained of magic and turns pale grey. Luke, Willow, Gus and Amity scream in horror, the girls hugging onto each other as it laughs.
Inspector: More cute morsels!
Willow: We may be cute, but we're nobody's morsels!
Willow summons her Carnivorous Plant.
Gus: Time for a power-up!
Gus jumps in front, giving the plant buff arms.
Amity: Willow, wait!
Willow: Sorry Amity, but I'm not as weak as you think!
The plant launches itself at the inspector only to be caught and eaten. Willow and Gus both fall, drained of magic that the creature took from them. Luke and Amity ran over, the latter dropping down to Willow, lifting her head up.
Luke: No!
Amity: Willow!
Willow is unable to draw a spell circle.
Willow: I feel... so weak.
Luke summons his sword, switching it to Light Mode and Amity prepares two spell circles as the creature slithers forward.
Luke: Oh no you don't!
Amity: Stay back you monster!
But before they could do anything the inspector inhales sucking Amity's magic and magic out of Rebellion, reverting it to normal much to Luke's shock. What was surprising was Luke didn't turn pale like the others, reason being because he doesn't have magic in him to suck away.
Luke: What the hell!? She sucked the magic out of my sword! Amity? To his horror Amity has been drained and groaned as she falls back. Amity!
Luke quickly catches Amity and glares at the sadistic creature.
Luke: What the hell did you to them you slimy bastard!
Inspector: I devoured their magic, and it was quite a feast. Thought it seems I accidentally missed dessert. I'll rectify that now.
Luke slides Amity to Willow and Gus before standing firm with his sword in hand as he braces himself. The Inspector attempts to suck out his life but to her shock Luke holds his ground and doesn't get drained like everyone else.
Inspector: What!? What is this!? Why can't I drain your magic!?
Luke: Whatever the hell you are you might be able to suck the magic out of demons, but I'm human! Who needs magic when you can do this!?
Luke charges forward and delivers an electrified slash across the inspector's chest. She cries out in pain and stumbles back, a gash formed on her chest just as Luke brings out his notepad with the Light-Glyph drawn on.
Luke: Eat this you snake!
He tosses the notepad into the inspector's mouth. The spell activates, exploding inside her she screams, spewing out shredded paper. Luke picks up Gus, holding him over his shoulder and grabs Amity's hand and Willow holds onto hers.
Luke: I'll get you guys somewhere safe!
Inspector: It burns! It burns!
Luke bursts into the Secret Room of Shortcuts where he finds Viney, Jerbo and Barcus sat together much to their surprise to see him back already. He carries Amity bridal style while Willow and Gus held onto him as tight as they could.
Luke: Guys! I need your help!
Viney: Luke, you came back!?
Luke: Yeah, but not for what you think! We're in really big trouble. Willow drops down groaning. Willow!
Viney, Jerbo, and Barcus gasp to see the terrible state Willow, Gus and Amity are in.
Viney: What happened to them?
Luke sets Amity and Gus down with Willow and walks over to a door.
Luke: Some crazy snake monster is loose in the school!
Luke opens a door to show the inspector draining more students' magic.
Viney: Don't let it see us! They run over and Viney closes the door. I think that's a Greater Basilisk. I heard about them in a class. My cousin at St. Epiderm said she saw one, but those things should be extinct.
Luke: It must've attacked the other schools to gobble up their magic and now Hexside is next on the menu. We've gotta stop that thing before it sucks the entire school dry!
Jerbo: But if Bump catches us mixing magic again—
Viney: He'd kick us outta school.
Undeterred, Luke jumps down by his fallen friends.
Luke: Who cares what that idiot Principal thinks! Our fellow Hexoleos are getting the life sucked out of them and we're the only ones who can save them! We're troublemakers, right? Then let's do what we do best! Make trouble!
Viney, Jerbo, and Barcus share a look of determination and nod in agreement, deciding to follow Luke's lead.
The Basilisk continues going around the hallway draining magic from students and teachers, still not satisfied. She sucked the magic out of Skara, Cat and Amelia and they fell to the floor, drained and unconscious. Boscha walked backwards in fear as
Boscha: S-st-stay away from me you monster!
Boscha traces a spell circle and casts a fire spell but to her horror that Basilisk gobbles it up and then sucks out Boscha's magic. The arrogant jock cries out and fell onto the floor next to her friends, unconscious and almost lifeless as she groans in agony.
Devil May Cry 1 – Flock Off
With that the Basilisk continues slithering down the hall, looking for her next meal.
Basilisk: Hungry! Still hungry!
An ice glyph is thrown in front of the inspector. It activates, summoning a massive pillar of ice that throws the basilisk back. She quickly got up to see Luke slide in front of the ice pillar with a grin.
Luke: Hey. How you doing?
Basilisk: You! If I can't devour magic from you…I'LL JUST DEVOUR YOU INSTEAD!
Luke: Luke hops around. Go slither off in a hole, fang face. He motions her to bring it. Unless you wanna stick around and do this hard way.
The Basilisk roars and Luke leapt up as it slams into his ice pillar, causing it to hit the floor roughly. Luke summons his dual Glyph Guns, activating the new Fire Glyphs embedded in the jewel mid-air, turning it red. He fires a barrage of flaming bullets that burn the Basilisk and causes it to roar in agony. Luke flips and lands on the floor firing more fire bullets that burn the Basilisk but soon she gets angry enough to plough through the bullets and try to maul Luke who dismisses his guns for Rebellion.
Luke: Luke brought out a Fire Glyph. Time to turn up the heat!
Luke attaches the Fire Glyph to Rebellion. He blocks the Basilisk's teeth with his blade, pushing back with all his strength. The Fire Glyph activates. A fireball forms and the sword absorbs it, causing the blade to glow read and heat up, steam coming out of it. The boiling heat burns the Basilisk's mouth, causing her to throw her head back roaring and screaming.
Basilisk: My mouth! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!
Luke: This is the power of wild magic! Suck on this you fang-faced freak!
Luke swung Rebellion, the Fire Glyph glows, and the blade becomes engulfed in flame, coated in fiery energy and turns into a blade of fire.
Luke clutches his sword and reels it back, gathering flames before thrusting his mighty blade to unleash and a concentrated stream of flames that engulf the Basilisk and causes to scream in agony. It writhes uncontrollably as Luke spun around his sword, holding it backhanded as it gathers red energy. With a swing he unleashes a fiery red energy blade that slams into the Basilisk, sending it crashing into the ice pillar where another gash has formed on its chest.
...
Luke dashes on and makes a right, reverting Rebellion to Electric Mode. The Basilisk shakes the flames off and a furiously bloodthirsty look appears in its eyes as it goes after Luke in a fit of rage. He ran down the hallway, Rebellion clutched by his side.
Basilisk: When I get my hands on you, I'm going to rip you apart limb from limb!
Luke: That's what you think snake breath!
Luke turns and Rebellion turns into a blade of electricity. He swung and the Basilisk quickly caught the blade with both her hands, struggling to hold it back as electricity surges from it but this is what Luke was hoping for.
Luke: Viney! Now!
Viney's Griffin, Puddles flies through the halls and tackles the Basilisk, pinning her down. Viney ran up casting a spell circle.
Viney: Attagirl, Puddles! Jerbo, now!
Jerbo: On it!
In the Secret Room of Shortcuts, an abomination opens a door in the floor as Jerbo summons several thorny vines. The vines latch onto a door handle in the ceiling.
The Basilisk claws at Puddles, scratching one her legs and throws her off, then falls through the trapped door opened by Jerbo. Luke hops in after it, the Basilisk got stuck through the door the Abomination opened. Luke stomps the creature through, sending it falling down the door and he dives after it.
In the auditorium a severely drained Principal Bump is finally sat up.
Bump: Must find help.
The Basilisk crashes onto the stage.
Luke: Woo-hoo!
Luke falls through the ceiling after it, bouncing and flipping off her stomach and landing on the stage floor.
Luke: It's all you, Barcus!
Barcus barks, grabbing the Basilisk's palm and pouring purple potion onto it.
Basilisk: Where am I?
Barcus' eyes glow purple as magical flames pour from it.
Basilisk: What's he doing? What'd he say?
Viney and Jerbo are stood with Luke grinning deviously.
Luke: He's reading your palm, and your future is in a world of pain.
Viney and Jerbo snap their fingers. Jerbo's abomination pulls at a rope that Puddles cuts with her beak. Sandbags are dropped and crush the Basilisk's tail, causing her to lift herself up screaming in agony. The abomination restrains the Basilisk's left arm and Puddles claws onto its right arm, restraining it too. Jerbo and Viney had spell circles out, helping them hold it down.
Viney: Luke, now!
Luke: On it!
Luke ran up and opens Rebellion once again, switching it to Ice Mode. He stylishly twirls his sword above his head and stops it in front of him, aiming for the ground as his sword swirls with cold air.
Luke: Here's a little move I call Frigid Impalement!
Luke stabs Rebellion into the floor. Sharp icicles emerge around the inspector, trapping and impaling her, causing her to roar out in agony. Luke switches Rebellion into Fire Mode and charges the Basilisk with a battle cry.
He lunges the monster with a leap, unleashing an onslaught of fiery aerial slashes with his blade. The Basilisk staggers and roars in pain as blood spills from its body with each slice. Luke bounces off its chest and lands on the stage floor. He held up his flaming sword in thrust position, ready for the final blow.
Luke: Jackpot!
With a shout Luke lunges the Basilisk and impales its chest, spilling blood as it releases a scream of agony. The scream gets louder when flame blasts through its body from the tip of Rebellion.
Luke: Go to hell you slithering slimeball!
Luke twists his sword, pulling it out as he leapt back, landing in front of Viney, Jerbo and Barcus. Puddles and the Abomination get away from the now dead and lifeless Basilisk as the icicles melt and it fell back. All of the magic it ate is released in a beam that separates into hundred of magical orbs that flew away to return to the bodies they were taken from.
In the aisle of the auditorium, an orb flew back into Bump as his colour returned and took a deep breath of life.
Willow, Gus and Amity were next to be restored, taking deep breaths as their colour returned.
Then, Boscha, Skara, Cat and Amelia. They all lift themselves up breathing quickly.
Students and faculty all over the school did the same, breathe deeply and regain their colour with their magic, as many more flew out of Hexside to return to other people of Glandus High, St. Epiderm, and so on.
Back in the auditorium, Luke retracts and dismisses Rebellion and Viney heals Puddles's scratched claw. The griffin nuzzles her owner before flying off. Luke, Viney, Jerbo and Barcus walk up to the deflated and dead Basilisk.
Luke: Eat that sucker! Get it? Sucker? Because she sucks magic and now she can't. The three of them laugh, finding that joke funny. Luke then wraps an arm around Viney. We did it! He puts a hand on both Viney and Jerbo's shoulders. You guys' rock! You totally nailed it! You—
Bump: Are in so much trouble!
The four of them look to see Bump angrily approach them, looking furious. They quickly took a couple steps back from the Basilisk.
Bump Leaving your homeroom, mixing magic and—is that a secret hideout?
Willow, Gus and Amity duck away from the open trap door, not wanting to get in trouble. Viney, Jerbo and Barcus look down, fearing the worst but Luke having had enough of Bump putting rules and money before students steps up to defend his new friends.
Luke: Yes, it is. But let's think about this, Principal B. Why would kids in the detention track need a secret hideout in the first place!?
Bump: I don't care to know the ins and outs of rascality. He pulls out rule book. But if the Emperor's Coven can send an actual inspector this time—
Luke: Who cares about the Emperor's Coven!? SCREW THE STUPID RULES!
In an instant Luke opens Rebellion and slices the book in half right down the middle much to Bump's shock and annoyance as he glares while Luke puts his sword away.
Bump: Well…now I need even more money to buy a new rule book!
Luke: Okay, look dude! I get rules are important and you need coven money for repairs. But is it seriously worth hurting your students? Isn't it your job as Principal to ensure the welfare and happiness of all your students?
Bump is finding himself stumped by Luke protecting his friends and his words.
Bump: Well…yes, but-
Luke: Well, all you seem to care about now are some dumb rules! These three saved Hexside from a giant snake monster! If it hadn't been for them, you and everyone in this school would be dead right now!? They deserve to be rewarded like the heroes they are, not kicked out like criminals! They should be allowed to study what they wish. Schools are meant to help students reach their full potential, not control and seal it away. These 3 have a lot of potential, imagine the amazing things they could do by mixing magic when they grow up.
Bump: B-but-the rules!
Gus: Do the right thing, ya dingus!
Feeling outnumbered and outsmarted, Bump gave a small smile as he put the rule book away and finally bent the rules.
Bump: Alright, I'm smart enough to know when I've made a mistake. Which tracks would you like to be in?
The three of them gasp in sheer joy as they could finally study more than one track, all thanks to Luke. He kept his promise.
Viney: Healing and Beast Keeping!
Jerbo: Plants and Abomination!
Barcus: Barcus barks. (Potions & Oracles!)
Bump: Then so be it.
He drew a spell circle, turning their gray Detention sleeves and leggings into their desired coven tracks.
Barcus now had a right purple sleeve for the Oracle Track and a left yellow sleeve for the Potion Track.
Jerbo now had green sleeves for the Plant Track and magenta leggings for the Abomination track,
Viney now had blue sleeves for the Healing Track and orange leggings for the Beast Keeping Track.
Bump: But if any of you cause more property damage, I'm feeding you to the detention pit when it's repaired. He then looks back to Luke. And you?
Luke: Well…all the tracks are so awesome in their own way. And I want to learn as much as I can. It might be a bit of a workload but if I could, I want to study all of them.
Bump: If you truly believe you can handle that, then so be it.
Luke's sleeves and leggings were washed over with a white light as he surrounded in the green spell circle.
Luke: Whoa!
The light fades to reveal his new multicoloured uniform. His right sleeve was navy blue and standard blue, his left sleeve is red and magenta, his leggings are dark brown.
Luke looks at his redesigned outfit in awe and amazement.
Luke: This…is so awesome! He throws his fists up in celebration. Woo-hoo! I'm going to study everything!
Viney jumps onto Luke, giving him a big hug as she laughs joyfully for him. Luke accepts that hug as Jerbo comes in patting his back and Barcus runs by barking in delight.
Luke looks up to see Willow and Gus hugging each other as they cheer in joy while Amity smiles at the human boy.
Willow & Gus: YES! GO LUKE! GO LUKE! GO LUKE!
Amity gives Luke a wink which he returns with another and a thumbs up. Bump smiles to see the display of friendship he's witnessing, seeing that this might just work after all.
Bump: You know, only one other student wanted to study every track. He summons the defaced portrait of Lord Calamity. Unfortunately, she was never given the opportunity.
With the wave of his hand, Bump cleaned the portrait to reveal the student who discovered the secret room of shortcuts, started the delinquent name wall, and wanted to study all the tracks at Hexside like Like...was Eda when she attended Hexside. Her hair bright orange, her arms crossed, and a confident look on her face. And by her yellow sleeves it seems she was studying in the Potion Track.
Luke: Eda!? Eda is Lord Calamity!? And she wanted to study all the Coven Tracks! Luke smiles after processing that. Huh. That actually makes a lot of sense.
Speak of the devil, outside, Eda is flying by Hexside.
After the Greater Basilisk's body was taken for disposal, the school day proceeded as normal as possible with four new students in multiple tracks. King's job as a teacher was short-lived as Bump finally found him and kicks him out of the school. Nonetheless it's a historic day in Hexside history as the first school to allow students to enrol in multiple magic tracks.

And with this, Luke is not only an official student at Hexside but is now also studying multiple tracks. And he's left a huge impression of himself, showing off his skills, befriending misunderstood students, owning Boscha and defeating a monster. And as a bonus he's learned a new Glyph. So much win! Way more than he's got so far!
Up next, Luke, Eda and King take a trip to the carnival. King becomes jealous upon seeing Luke spending more time with Willow and Gus which a certain little pig demon tries to take advantage off and turn this carnival day into a survival mission. Can they get out of this?
