Jack steps into the classroom when all of a sudden a projectile comes flying towards his head nearly blowing it clean off "Woah!?" "Sorry! Sorry!" Jack's eyes are drawn toward so many things, the sheer size of the classroom was enough to be called a lecture hall in a college. "This place is huge!" Jack thought to himself, as craziness in the class continues a small voice screams "QUIET DOWN! NOW!" Jack turns to face the familiar voice and finds, it's the mouse! His smirks at the thought of a talking mouse as his teacher. His grin quickly disappears however as he comes to the realization that the house he broke was the teachers
He quickly tries to hide his face in shame. "Good Afternoon everyone allow me to introduce myself, my name is Arthur Finnegan Mouse but you may address me as Mr. Finn" fearful of the mouse that may have a grudge, he planned to keep quiet and learn in silence hoping to avoid any and all confront- "You there!" at this point, he almost pissed himself as the mouse pointed to him "Me?" "Yes you, stand up. I'd like to know the students in my class so will you please give your name?" all eyes were on jack but there was no pressure he just needed to say his name and sit back down "My name is Jack Callo and I am 14 years old"
"Very nice Jack, you may take your seat" Jack sighs a sigh of relief
By the time class ended Mr. Finn called Jack "Jack, come here for a moment would you?" Jack was startled for a moment but he answered "Yes sir?" "Ok let's skip most of the formalities, I know it was you" Jack was caught and with nowhere left to go he admits "So you noticed huh? I'm sorry sir" "Well, don't cry you did only just break my family home" Finn said sarcastically "Is there any way I can make it up to you?" Jack was sorry and wanted to do right but Finn was fine, he respected the boys honesty and integrity "Well if you know a good hole in the wall..." Jack paused in confusion "It was a joke. Did I not tell it right? You know cause Mouse me and the hole in wall where mice live?" Jack struggled to keep his cringe to himself as he let out a gut chuckle "Well I never was one to tell jokes, if you really want to make it up to me, will you try to pass every test in my class? Seems like a reasonable request seeing as you tore open my wall" Jack nodded his head in agreement, since he knew what he had done heavily affected the mouses family, the least he could do was honor his request
"Arthur!" Arthur turns to find his friend, one of the best alchemy teachers in the school "Ah, Ms. Finch!"
"Was that the kid who broke your wall?". Arthur didn't know what to say an easy yes could be said but he knew the boy would have a lot more trouble than what the wall was actually worth instead Arthur thinks of a different reply "No, you must be going blind lady. Are those glasses actually good?" "Well no, but I got them for a good price, and I'm a slave to good prices! Ehehe" Arthur gave a small smirk "Well go easy on these kids, I don't need them on edge everyday Darcy" "Oh you worry too much, what could I possibly do?"
Later he passes Niora in the hall. Niora sees Jack, she pulls him to the side to ask him a quick question "Jack... Do you have any idea about alchemy?" "Alchemy? We have alchemy classes here?" Niora looks at Jack with a tired expression met with a frown, as if she had given up. "So you don't know alchemy huh... Thats a bummer" "Hold on! Maybe I do know." Jack trying to reassure the lifeless husk that was once his friend, but Niora thinks otherwise "No don't be a hero Jack, it's fine. Atleast I know there'll be one other person besides me who won't know a thing when we get into class"
Niora leaves hunched over and unmotivated. A sense of dread looming over her as Jack thinks to himself "There's an alchemy class! If it's anything like real science then I have a fighting chance!" Ever since Jack got to this world he's felt small and helpless, a scary place with no knowledge of where he is or how he got there, but he was able to rationalize his thoughts and focused on getting back home as soon as possible so in this moment he felt as if home was just a few steps closer.
Jack enters the class that reads Alchemy on top and he spots Niora with an open seat waving him over "Hey! Over here!" She yelled. "What are you doing?" "Have you seen this place!? It's HUGE!" In truth Jack never noticed but he was shocked to see just how big the room was. You couldn't see the roof as it just stretched into darkness. The walls felt wider than they should and the blackboard wasn't even visible. But the seats were carefully marked "I never noticed, it feels kinda weird though" just as Jack was trying to make sense of the situation a big spotlight is flashed on to the stage as a voice echoes throughout the whole room "Ladies and Not ladies Welcome to Alchemy 101! I'm your teacher. The One, the Only, The Fabulous- drumroll puh-lease!!! Darcyyyyyy Finch!" The whole class erupts into a loud roar when suddenly. BANG* "No wait sorry! Wrong gun Ehehe" The whole room fell completely silent, that big entrance- wasted by what seems to be a freaking revolver, pardon my French "What the hell? Who owns a gun?" Niora asks Jack "You know what that is?" "Yeah, why?" Niora and Jack are both in a stunned silence. This class was about to reveal a lot of things....
Side bit after class: Arthur and Darcy
"I swear this never goes off normally" "Damn it Darcy you frightened them half to death!" "Yeah well that's life-" "Don't"
