Melfar Academy: Extravaganza

          Next morning Calles woke up with a headache. He sat up grumbling,scratching his already ruffled hair. When he collected himself a bit,he looked around.He was the only one in the room. He suddenly noticed,he was sitting on his uniform. Quickly jumped up of his bed,and started whining,when he  saw he made a mess out of his uniform,yet he didn’t even took it on.
-Aw maaaaan,how ‘m I gonna wear this now?! I’m not even sure,if I’m so keen on wearin’ this…wonder if I can even take these on…looks so tight… -and he kept grumbling like an old man,while he went to find a bathroom. – Pro’bly a nice shower will make mey fresh. –sighed,as he schuffled and opened the door.
        After a couple more shuffling,he finally found a bathroom,God knows where.This place was already looking like a labyrinth.When he finished,and charged up,he returned to his room. He went to his bed again,and glared at the uniform.
      -Oookay,I’m gonna take ya on now,n’ ya can’t stop me! – he said to the uniform,then he “yarred” like a pirate,jumping on the uniform,as if that was his enemy to defeat. He started whistling,while he was taking off his old clothes,and dressing up in the uniform. His mood compeletely changed,when he took on the pants and the shirt.
      – Ngh!This is damn tight! How am I gonna move in this,really?! – he started grumbling,then took on the vest too.He hesitated at the tie.He never had one before,so he just simply put it on,like how it was,without tightening around his neck
        After he finished dressing up,he took his bag,and started to throw out everything on his bed. Claws,a revolver,socks,underwears,wests,a dusty book,bones,a bottle of rum,some papers,a pen,a smaller book,and finally a little chest.It was so little it could fit on Calles’ palm. He put the little chest carefully down,as if it was something fragile,eventhough,it was a simple wooden-iron chest. Suddenly he sensed someone in the room,so he turned around.Another boy teleported in the room. Calles happily,without any walked in front of the person,and with a wide maniac smile greeted him.
-Yoohoo,mate,you musta’ be my roommate! Nice to meet ya,I’m Calles! –he reached out his hand to shake hands with the other.
-I’m Kazuhiku,nice to meet you too~dearu….and welcome.~dearu – he accepted the gesture.
- Thanks! – he grinned at him,then just simply turned back to his pile of stuffs and continued throwing out things out of his bag on his bed.
Kazu looked at the mess his roommate made on his bed.
-You can use the cupboard.~dearu.
-Yeah,I know. – Calles simply answered ,then started to whistle.
     Kazu just stared at all of the new stuffs Calles brought. Typical pirate stuffs,yet so intriguing. He noticed the little chest,which was put on the pillow.
-What’s this? You keep jewelery? ~dearu. –he reached out and picked it up.
-What? Oh no! – Calles took away the chest fast. – I mean,no,I don’ keep jewels,that’s fo’ girls. – he laughed- This ‘s a chest….a magical one. Every pirate-dragon has one. Without this,we’re a big nothin’. – Calles showed Kazu but just from his own hand.
-Oh,I see,very nice.~deau So you’re a pirate-dragon,very interesting.~dearu And what do you use this little chest?~dearu If you’re truly a pirate,then you should have a bigger one. – he gave a faint smile.
Calles sniggered.
-Ya see,I got this from a black mage,so this is not jus’ a simple chest. If ya collect special treasure in it,it’ll grow n’ grow. But only us,pirate-dragons know what’s real treasure. – he winked.
Kazu nodded ,and looked at the chest with a curious expression. After he examined it,he looked at the pile.
-You seem to have a lot of nice stuffs.~dearu What’s this? –he took the bottle of rum,the bottle was very nice decorated with dragon and pirate symbols. He opened the bottle and sniffed. – Ugh~dearu,this smells awful!~dearu.
-Awful?! That’s rum,how can ya hate rum?! – Calles blinked surprised.
-I prefer blood~dearu…
-This is our drink,like vodka fo’ the Russians. – Calles girnned – Ya should taste it!
-Hm,no thanks.~dearu. – Kazu smiled,as he put the bottle back,then picked up a huge claw. – Wow,what’s this?~dearu?
-It’s a dragon claw,a water dragon’s claw,which we defeated ‘n the East. Ya know,those Chinese dragons,whith snake-like body. How I hate ‘em! They’re so full of theirselves,n’ help people,or threaten ‘em.
-Oh,I see. ~dearu. – Kazu looked at the claw fascinated.
-Actually I can give it to ya,it brings luck,they say,n’ a slight control with water. I don’ really need it anymore. – he shrugged.
-Really?Thank you!I appreciate it. ~dearu
-Glad! Lemme show ya how it works. – he took the claw and went to a tap,which was in their room.
Calles turned on the tap,water started to flow in the shell. He pointed the claw at the flowing water. Nothing happened.
-Oh,c’me on! – he grumbled,went closer.
Still nothing.
-Mrrr…-he went even closer,the claw almost touched the water.
Suddenly the tap started to tremble,and a not so encouraging noise was heard,as Kazu hid behind Calles. Both of them stared at the flowing water and the claw with widened eyes,the noise started to ge louder,and louder,the water started to flow faster. Calles stopped pointing with the claw at the water,turned off the tap,and turned at Kazu.
-See,I-…..-but he couldn’t continue,because suddenly the tap blew up hit Calle’s head,the water broke out like magma from volcano,and sprinkled everywhere,showering at the boys with such power,it pushed them down on the ground. Calles didn’t know what to do so he sat on the claw. The water slowly stopped. Kazu and Calles were soaking,but their sudden fear was more powerful than to pay attention to theirselves. For a couple of minutes they just sat there and stared at the broken wall from where the tap was missing,which was now lying on the ground. They just blinked and stared,then looked at each other ,and both of them bursted out in laughter.
-At least I know how to stop it! ~dearu. – Kazu laughed.
-Yeah,jus’ sit on it! – Calles laughed too.
Suddenly the door opened. Raeka’s head appeared.
-Good-woaaaah,what happened here?! –she came in and looked around,then looked at the soaking boys,who now stopped laughing.
-I’m sorry,I just showed my stuffs to my roommate. – Calles scratched his head with an awkward smile.
Raeka smiled,shook her head.
-You’ll have a lot of work today,mr! –she said with a grin. – I’ll be waiting for you in the class! You know where to go,I showed you yesterday. – she waved,then left the room.
-Okay! I’ll be right there!...after I change. – Calles answered,as he looked at himself.
-You can find spare uniforms in the smaller cupboard~dearu. – Kazu said,while he took off his soaking shirt.
-Oh,thanks! – Calles stood up,handed the claw to Kazu,then opened the cupboard. Threw the soaking uniform off,then took  a dry one on.
– Done! Now wayyy to go! See ya ‘round later,hope we’ll have fun again. –he sniggered,as he waved at Kazu and left the room.
-Me too,see ya!~dearu
In the class Calles sat in front of Raeka. He felt some kind of tension.Raeka’s friendly expression kind of changed to a demonic one.
-Greetings,fellow,today I’ll tell you some important things you might know. Things won’t be so easy like yesterday,you have duties to fulfill. I’ll remind you,that I’m your headteacher,so any problems you have,you’ll tell me.Problems with learning,dark past,problems with being in a class and so on. If you have any of these now,then tell me right in this moment.
Calles scratched his head,thinking if he really had problems,then he remembered his mother. His expression got serious.
-My mother was killed yesterday….-he grumbled staring at the desk in front of him.
Raeka froze. She didn’t know what to say.
-I….I am sorry for her…my condolences. –she said,walking next to Calles and petted his back.
-It’s fine…..I have ‘nother motivation to kill the Kraken.
-Who’s the Kraken?
-A long story of which I don’t want to talk about now.
- Hm.Fine. Don’t worry,you’re in the right hands. – Raeka said,trying to comfort him somehow.
-Good tha know. – Calles gave a faint smile.
-Well,turning back to the main subject. You’re a bit late,but we’re in the exam season. So we decided to test your abilities,so you’ll also take these exams,but not as an exam grade,just we must know how much you know,and from where you do have to catch up with the others.
-Test?! Exam?! – Calles panicked,he never had such an experience.
-Yes. –Raeka smiled- But like I said,you don’t have to stress out,just show us what you got.
-Oh,okay,thought I’ll already be eliminated. – he sighed in relief.
Raeka laughed,then she leaded him to the lab,to a desk full of weird potions and liquids.
-Firstly,do you know what a potion is?
-Yeah,’f course I know!
-Good,then,because you now have to make a potion.
-Rrright! – he nodded,then examined the bottles.
        He thought for a few seconds,then grabbed an empty bottle ,put in front of himself,then grabbed a bottle with a red liquid,poured a little in his bottle,then grabbed a black one,poured more of it on the bottle,then grabbed a navy one,and just a few drops of it.
-Do you have salt? – he asked.
Raeka nodded,then went away,in a few minutes,she came back with a little bottle of salt. Calles carefully added salt,then the potion was done.
-Now let me see. – Raeka took the bottle and started to examine the potion.– Very good,a herb healer! You did a great jo-….Why are you crying? – when she turned at Calles,she got puzzled of the other’s teary eyes and hilarious sad expression.
-We call that Dragon –sniff- Tears,it makes dragons –sniffs- cry. – he said with a whiny tone. – I accidentally –sniff- smelled it –sniff-
Raeka bursted out laughing.
-Now this is very interesting! I didn’t know that one! Nice! –she smiled,putting away the bottle. Faaar away from Calles.
Then she leaded Calles to a desk and handed him a paper,after Calles stopped the crying,she started to explain.
-The potion was the practical side of the test.Now comes the theory. You have to answer all the questions. Do you have a pen?
-Yeye,I brought one. –he said,sniffing for the last time,then starting to read the questions.
“What is the H2O?a. Silver b. Air c. Water d. Salt …wow,I know this one…miracles happened. …blah blah blah,yeah,I know all of this…this is easy!...Who created the…. Whaat?! Who the Hell should I know these people?! Lemme think…none of them were dragons…at least Einstein seems familiar….” He thought,went on with the questions. Then he finally wrote: 1.c;2.b;3.a;4.c;5.b;6.a;7.a;8.d;9.a and handed in the test.
-Okay,Now please go back to class 1-2,there you’ll have your next test. – Raeka said ,while taking the paper with a smile.
-Goodbye,Raeka! – Calles waved,then pushed his hands in his pocket,in the left pocked he grabbed the talisman,and headed to class 1-2.


     Calles looked up at the teacher,swallowed hard,as Damien handed him the paper.
-Welcome,Calles,I am Damien Cornett,and I’ll teach you French in the future.Now I’m just testing how much you know. Here’s the test.You must answer at least 7 correctly in order to pass.Any questions?
-No. – Calles sighed. He simple hated French. “From all the human languages I get ‘s French. Why French,dammit?! I don’ even know anythin’ ‘bout them,only that they’re way too….sophistcated fo’ my taste. “ he thought,then he started to read the questions. His head went blank. He started to sweat. Nothing came into his mind. “Okay…calm down…you know you know this!” he started to relax and concentrate.
In Calles’ mind: He was sailing on their pirate boat on the sea,when another one came in front of his. It was another pirate boat,a French one! Calles glared at the French captain,who was dressed in a typical French clothing from the 18th century,who was on is ship’s board.
-Prrepairre yourself,Mon Amie![Prepare yourself,pal!] –the French said,as he lifted his sword.
-Now I can’t decide weather  I feel seasick,or jus’ lookin’ at ya makes me sick. – Calles answered with a grimace.
-You!!! Don’t even darre telling répugnant(French> disgusting) things about moi(French>me)!
-Yeah,whatever. –Calles rolled his eyes,then jumped to the cannon on board. – Prepare to die,bilge rat! – he lit the cannon with a maniac laughter.
- Oh noooon! Sparre moi life[Spare my life], I’ll love you forreverr~!-the French captain screamed dramatically falling on his knees,his speech was followed by a passionate ,nasal toned moan.
Calles just laughed as a maniac murder,while the cannon shoot the deadly cannonball.
-NOOOOON,I’M GOING TO STRRIP INTO FRENCH FRIES! – the French captain screamed dramatically-passionately,as he covered his manly part,blushing and making a kissy fishface.
       Calles heard Damien clearing his throat.
-Please hand in the paper…
-Oh,okay. – Calles said in a calm tone,but when he looked down on his paper,he got all white with a funny ,hollow grimace. – WHAAAAAT?! I DIDN’T EVEN GAVE ‘NY ANSWER TO NONE OF THA QUESTIONS! Wait…wait..please,wait – he dropped himself on his knees,grabbing Damien’s shirt. – Gimme 10 more seconds,please,I’m beggin’ ya! I dun’ wanna fail in tha first day!
-Ok..ok,just hurry up. –Damien gave in,just to be let go.Calles was way too fast for him and way too indiscreet.
Calles rapidly wrote: 1.B;2.C;3.A;4.A;5.C;6.B;7.B;8.C;9.B;10.C;11.A ,then handed in.
-Good. Thank you,have a nice day. – Damien simply said,taking the paper.
-See ya,lad!...I mean..Goodbye,mr. Cornett! – Calles rushed out of the class.

       He felt his headache started to get more powerful. He grumbled as he walked around on the yard ,when finally he found a nice grassy corner not so far from the swimming pool. He lied down on the grass,and looked at the sky. He remembered his mother’s pale face,but still her sweet smile made him feel safe. And now she’s gone.Forever. Calles fell asleep.
