A girl with gray hair meditated in the middle of the woods. She was wearing the 1st year Academy clothes and was surrounded by four winged birds and raccoons made of grass.

*Rustle*

"I have been expecting you." Said the girl, her eyes still closed.

Cynebald leaned on one of the trees near the girl. His black and ashen body slightly toasted the wood. "How did you know I was here?"

The girl stood up, and with a racoon in her hands, she turned towards Cynebald. She opened her eyes which were green in color.

"It's because I am one with nature." This was a lie. She just repeated the same sentence whenever she heard any noise near her.

"Fufluns I need your help. Please teach me the way of social interaction between humans!" Cynebald bowed. He bowed at exactly 90 degrees and which utmost respect, this type of begging even rivaled that of professional bootlickers.

Fufluns smiled and threw the fat grass racoon away. "Ok but quick question, why did you choose me to be your teacher?"

"You don't really do anything, like at all. You just sleep all the time so I assume you were free."

"It's meditation! I don't sleep sitting up, only weirdos do that."

"And people normally don't snore when they meditate Fufluns."

"... Anyway I will gladly take you as my student but there is one rule you must always follow. Always listen to what I say."

"Yes!"

"Also call master!"

----------------------------------------

And so Fufluns and Cynebald traveled to somewhere secluded, a place where nobody could hear their ruckus. Fufluns took one step to the right and she had arrived.

"Lesson number one. Before you talk to other people, talk to yourself first."

"I see." Cynebald scribbled down the lesson onto a piece of parchment. "What does that mean?"

"It means you must first get to know the real you before you interact with anybody."

Fufluns pointed her finger at herself. "For example, I am a calm peaceful nature loving person. I am also vegan, not once have I eaten meat in my entire life."

"Is that so." Cynebald caressed his thorny face and tapped his red hardcore. "I can't think of anything. Hey, what do you think about me Fufluns?"

"Let's see. I think that your mother is a slut."

"What?"

"Or was it your dad?"

Cynebald cross his arms and shook his head. "My parents are happily married. They aren't sluts."

"Well, this tree over here is telling the opposite."

Cynebald slowly walked to one of the trees. The trees had green leaves, unlike the other trees around which were brown and yellow.

Small whispers could be heard coming from the tree. "slut... slut... slut."

"Fireball." Cynebald hand lit on fire and formed a small ball. He then threw the ball at the tree but it was avoided easily by bending its trunk.

The tree slowly morphed into a haggard blond-haired boy wearing an old worn down white suit. The boy's hair had twigs and leaves on it and his red cape had tears and holes.

The boy dusted his clothes and then grabbed Cynebald by the shoulder. "I'm gonna be honest, I had a bad weekend."

"What?"

"It all began on Saturday. The classroom exploded because I lit the bombs I got from Rosemary. I then fled the scene and into the woods where I transformed into a tree and subsisted here."

"That doesn't sound so bad." Said Fufluns.

"Yeah but that was only the beginning. I was left alone and given time to think. To think about my whole life. I remember the time I was a circus animal. I performed these stupid tricks for an audience. Like playing with a ball and jumping into hoops on fire underwater."

"Like a slut I sold my body to these people and followed their commands like roll over and sit. Truly humiliating. Is what I would say! If weren't for the fact that I got to eat homeless people after my performance."

"So yeah I missed that life. Just lazing around and not having to work in the coal minds." The boy twisted his hands and shoved them onto Cynebald's face. "I mean look at these poor hands of mine. I got this from a nasty coal condensation accident."

Cynebald pushed the arms away and slowly backed off. "Uh, what circus animal were you?"

"I was a tiger. But not any ordinary tiger, I had purple stripes and only one head. I also preferred classic literature instead of heavy rock. The other tigers with their leather jackets and motorcycles kept trying to bother my reading time."

"Anyway, what are you guys doing here?"

"Well I'm trying to learn how to speak to humans better and Fufluns is helping me."

"Exactly! I'm teaching my student here so how about you leave? You're being a distraction."

The boy slithered towards Cynebald and placed Cynebald's arm around his shoulder. "You need lessons, how about your good old friend Finley teach you the ropes?"

Fufluns calm peaceful smile winced as she got in the middle of them. "Excuse me but I'm the one teaching Cynebald here."

"Heh!" Finley's face contorted into a red X. "Do you really want to learn from this fake Vegan!" Finley's finger twisted and elongated towards Fufluns, poking her in the forehead. "This liar eats meat all the time. She's a wolf in a dumbass's clothing."

Fufluns slapped Finley's old and dirty finger away. "If you want to teach him then why not? After all, it's not I care." Said Fufluns before turning away and walking toward a thick girthy healthy wonderful sexy tree.

Finley's face distorted and reformed into his usual fluffy blond self. His face was now clean and scratchless. There was a huge grin on his face, "what a two-faced bitch."

"Fuck you! Also isn't the more correct term a tsundere?"

"What's the difference?" Said Finley shrugging his shoulders. "Anyway talking to humans is easy. Just act exactly like me. After all, I am the pinnacle of everything!" Said Finley as he levitated and shined brightly like a God.

"I see. What does that mean, please explain I'm a bit lost."

Finley dropped onto the floor and whispered something to Cynebald. Cynebald nodded and listen intensely to his second master's teaching. Finley pointed at Fufluns and then patted Cynebald in the back before pushing him.

Cynebald walked smoothly towards Fufluns. He stood still in from of her and spoke with conviction and lust. "I love you. I love you with all my heart! And I need you to love me as well."

Fufluns brain exploded as she stood still. Her mouth was open with drool coming out. Her eyes stared way past Cynebald and into the truth of the universe.

"I can't wait anymore for your answer, here I come!" Cynebald slapped Fufluns away and then jumped onto the trunk of the sexy tree. He hug and slammed his orb face onto the tree as he showed his love for it. "I love you incredibly attractive tree."

A single tear fell from Finley's eye as he watched somebody make love to a tree. " They grow up *sniffle* so fast."

But then Cynebald stopped and sat on the ground. He quickly fixed his messy clothes and reflected on his life. "I need better friends."

----------------------------------------

#Operation Murder#

A shady shadowy figure moved carefully in the hallway. Evading all the windows and doors she stuck close to the wall as she navigated the empty classrooms. "Finally." She exclaimed quietly.

In one of the classrooms was Aderyn sitting alone on a wooden chair. She watched the people outside, who were busy fixing the dormitory, through a rectangular window.

The shadowy figure crept closer and closer until they were behind Aderyn. The figure lifted its hand and slammed down a metal club. *Squish* The club bounced and smacked the shadows figure in the face.

The figure poked Aderyn who jiggled. "What in Mezor's name! This isn't Aderyn, this is gelatin that looks like her."

"Hahaha! That's a fake!" Laughter could be heard coming from the door of the classroom. The figure turned around and saw Aderyn who was pointing her wand. The wand's tip glowed as a beam of light shot out.

The beam pierced through the shadowy figure's head. But the figure didn't drop dead, it dissipated into the air. "Yoink!" Aderyn turned around and before she knew it, her wand was stolen.

Holding the wand was a familiar-looking girl with brown messy hair tied into two buns and a shark-like grin. She wasn't wearing her usual white tailored suit but she still had her extremely powerful pressure.

"Kyanite? But why?" Said Aderyn, her face trembling from fear.

"Why? WHY! It's because I wanted more screen time! That's why. Now begone!" Kyanite pointed the wand and shot out a white beam. Well, that is what she would do if she knew how to use the wand, but she doesn't so she just smacked Aderyn with it.

*Crack*

The wand connected and cracked Aderyn into thousands of pieces. "What?" In actual reality the Aderyn, Kyanite was talking to was just a mirror. She left the room and entered the hallway which was now filled to the brim with mirrors all showing Aderyn.

An echoing voice then spoke. "Where am I Kyanite? Can you find me in this mirror maze?" All the Aderyn then flipped Kyanite simultaneously, "I asked that question but I already know the answer. You can't!"

"Mark my words Aderyn. I will kill you today!"

----------------------------------------

Aderyn sat inside a small compact room. In front of her was a crystal ball that showed Kyanite frantically smashing the mirrors. "Stupid Kyanite. Doesn't even know that I'm not even in the maze."

*Munch Munch*

As she pondered her orb, she also ate popcorn out of a green plastic bowl. In her mind victory was already assured... Until she felt something hard on her back.

She turned around and saw Kyanite wearing her white striped suit and holding a small metal bat. "But how, I still see you smashing the mirrors in my crystal ball."

"Oh, do you though?" Aderyn zoomed into the crystal ball, her face slowly becoming more shocked and confused. "Th-this is a ro-"

"That's right!" Interrupted Kyanite. "It's a robot!" She pointed at the crystal ball which showed a clunky metal robot with a wig.

"Impossible... We still haven't invented lightbulbs or even used electricity in any way. How the fuck do you already have a robot?"

"I might as well tell you how I got this robot since, after all, dead men tell no tales. I got this robot from, sike! Just joking, why would I even tell you that? I win Aderyn."

Aderyn giggled as her left hand peeled off her skin and her right hand removed her hair. "Huh?" It wasn't Aderyn sitting in the cramped room, it was Holly.

"Sorry but it's your loss Kyanite. I'm not Aderyn, I'm her loyal and overworked guard, Holly... and also your classmate but you already knew that."

"hehehehehe. HEHEHEHE!" Kyanite began to laugh.

"Uh... Well it doesn't matter since Aderyn is currently in-"

"In a high-class restaurant near the sea... That silence means I'm correct, right?" Said Kyanite with a serious blank face.

"Still it doesn't matter since I will stop you here." Holly stood up and punched Kyanite in the face. Well, she tried to but her hand phased through.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk Holly, violence is never the answer.

"Explain!"

"Well to answer your demand, I am not here, I am a pre-recorded hologram. Do you see that magic stick over there? That's where I'm coming from."

"Damn it!"

"Fucking hell indeed Holly. Well, I'm gonna end the message. Now, where is the button? How do you even use this? Uh, this is kinda awkward, I can't seem to find the button... So how's your day?"

"Well, it was okay, I guess."

"Me too, I just love cats since they tend to eat "rats" and even sometimes "snakes"...Oh thank Mezor, I finally found the button. See you and let's hang out sometime!

"Idiot" Said Holly with a smile.

----------------------------------------

Sitting at a cozy and modern-looking white chair was Aderyn. Next to her were boxes full of different souvenirs for Holly and herself. "Oh waiteeeeeer! Is my steak done yet?"

The waiter walked up near her table. They placed a plate on the table and a cup full of wine. On the plate was a juicy and delicious-looking steak that was cooked rare.

Aderyn hand slowly moved towards the steak but she stopped suddenly. She winced at the waiter. The waiter had a very weird and distinct look. They looked exactly like Kyanite but with a black bushy mustache.

"Umm. You forgot to pepper the steak."

"I'm so sorry." The waiter then sprinkled the steak with a pepper shaker.

"You can go now." Said Aderyn to the waiter who stood still next to her.

"I'm not leaving till you eat that steak." Said the suspicious waiter who was currently sharpening two knives together.

"Okay..." Aderyn grabbed the steak and cranked open her mouth. She placed the steak which instantly melted inside before she could crunch it. "It's... IT'S SO GOOD!"

"Thank you. I wasn't sure if my steak still tasted good." Said the waiter, their eyes crying tears of joy. The waiter then bowed and left Aderyn alone.

Aderyn gazed at the sea. The sun was setting and there was a beautiful harmonic sound coming from the waves. She was surrounded by souvenirs and presents and the warmth of the sun. Also, this really ugly plant is in an even uglier plant vase.

"This calming combination of sky and sea. I could gaze at it forever for its beauty is unmatched... Welp, I am bored. Time to open my souvenirs."

Aderyn quickly opened the boxes which were mostly filled with alcohol and clothing. Some of them had minerals and gems, and sometimes they had desserts in which case Aderyn instantly devoured them like a hungry animal.

But then she stopped when she found a box that was oddly shaped like a person. She opened the box and inside was... Clothes.

"Phew! I thought Kyanite was hid-"

"Die!"

Emerging from the plant vase and covered in dirt, Kyanite tackled Aderyn onto the ground.

"I win Aderyn! I'm gonna kill you here and now." Kyanite fist was about to connect when suddenly.

"Wait! I'm not Aderyn, I" Aderyn wiped off the makeup on her face and took off her wig. " I am Electa."

Kyanite got off from Electa immediately and clenched her head. "That's impossible because I" Kyanite wiped off the makeup on her face and took off her wig" I am also Electa."

"..."

"...Wanna go swimming?"

"Sure."

----------------------------------------

Currently in a metal safe room, sitting on the floor was Aderyn. She had eyebags and was securely contained and protected inside the Erwood family vault. Next to her were piles of coins, gems, gold bars, a magical fridge full of food, and her pet chihuahua named "Holly Senior".

"Well, it's my win. This vault is locked until midnight and it's about 10 pm now. There's no way she can get inside in two hours."

*ZIIIIIIP*

The sound of zipping could be heard. Aderyn turned around and saw a person emerging from a chihuahua costume. That person was none other than.

"Aderyn?"

"Yes, it's me. I will settle this now, no more tricks and no more hiding. Just fist-to-face combat."

"Fine by me."

Aderyn charged toward Aderyn but Aderyn jumped to the left. Aderyn then slapped Aderyn in the face but not before Aderyn punched Aderyn in the gut.

"Aderyn it's time for you to get the metal chair." Said Aderyn

"Not the metal chair" Said Aderyn

Aderyn's back was hammered by a metal folding chair. While on the ground Aderyn was then bodyslammed by Aderyn.

Aderyn stood up weakly and poked Aderyn in the eyes. Aderyn then elbows her in the stomach while she tickled her.

"It's over Aderyn I win."

"Over my dead body!" Yelled Aderyn.

Aderyn jumped up and began to scratch Aderyn. Aderyn retaliated by running to the fridge. Aderyn then took out a cream pie and slammed it onto Aderyn's face. Aderyn then punched Aderyn out of anger.

Aderyn then pulled Aderyn's hair while Aderyn read a book about politics while Aderyn went fishing with her friend Aderyn.

Aderyn then wondered while playing AdeRyn Embodiment of the Scarlet Aderyn why they couldn't have added Rin. Aderyn then went to college and got a degree in adding ryns and met a nice lady named Aderyn who Aderyn married while Aderyn cried at their wedding. Aderyn was also the flower girl.

Two Aderyns faced each other in a standoff. Both of them were beaten and out of breath. "This is really confusing can you finally take off that disguise, Holly Senior or should I say Aderyn or should I say KYANITE!"

*ZIIIIIIP*

Inside the beaten Aderyn suit was Kyanite who was now holding a bigger and longer metal bat. "You know I wasn't gonna used this because I did say fist-to-face combat but I couldn't care anymore. You're going down!"

Kyanite lifted the bat and slammed it with the force of a thousand Aderyns. But Aderyn caught it with ease. "But how? Shouldn't you be weak and tired?"

With her spare hand, Aderyn reached for a zipper on her back. "... Wait. I can't find the zipper. Can you wait for a second?"

"No, no it's fine. Don't worry about it"

"You know zippers are always so pesky and hard to use."

"Yeah, I agree."

"..."

"Uh, can you look at my back and open it for me?"

"Yes, of course." Said Kyanite.

*ZIIIIIIP*

"Ho-Holly?!" Yelled out Kyanite because she was just so surprised and totally did not expect this.

Kyanite fell to the floor. She slammed her hand to the floor over and over again. "This isn't fair. I was supposed to win. I was supposed to win!" Like a baby, she whined and whined.

"You're even a bigger crybaby than my master."

Kyanite grappled and clenched onto Holly's shirt. "Where is Aderyn? Where is she hiding."

"I will give you a hint. Just one word. Popcorn." Holly readied her fist and pulled it way back.

"Pop what?" Holly's fist connected to Kyanite's face, knocking both her and her teeth out.
