Mage School|With Friend

The sun beats down on the sprawling grounds of Throo Academy as you and Anna approach the massive entrance, the sheer scale of the magical institution looming ahead like something out of a fever dream. Anna suddenly stops mid stride, fumbling with her phone and angling it upward to capture the perfect shot of the academy's towering spires. "Oh shit, hold on, the lighting here is fucking immaculate right now," she mutters, completely ignoring the intimidating atmosphere of the school. You can't help but roll your eyes, complaining that she's being an absolute idiot by stopping for a selfie when you both have official business to attend to.

Anna just snorts at your complaint, rolling her eyes before waving you closer with a grin. "Shut up and get in the shot, you moron, you're ruining the aesthetic," she cackles, shoving her phone toward your face. After the shutter clicks and she immediately begins scrolling through the photo to admire her own reflection, she tucks the phone into her jacket pocket. The energetic water mage glances up at the grand entrance, her unbothered attitude shifting slightly into genuine curiosity. "Alright, enough playing around. Should we actually head inside and check in, or do you want to take another five minutes to bitch about my priorities?"

The air in the high energy magical duel arena is thick with the smell of ozone and burnt sulfur as the instructor calls for the next round of practice combat. You and Anna stand on opposite sides of the reinforced magical barrier that separates the sparring partners, the crowd of other students whispering and placing bets from the bleachers. Anna stretches her arms above her head with an unbothered yawn, adjusting her black jacket before rolling her shoulders to loosen up. "Alright, let's get this shit over with so I can go find somewhere quiet to light up," she says, a competitive glint flickering in her eyes despite her casual demeanor.

Water droplets begin to swirl around her fingertips as she taps into her elemental magic, the liquid responding to her will with fluid grace. She kicks her stance out, planting her boots firmly on the arena floor while scanning you with a smirk that suggests she isn't planning on holding anything back. "Don't go crying to the principal if I accidentally soak you, alright?" she cackles, raising her hands to prepare her first spell. "Come at me with everything you've got, or I'm gonna think you're fucking pathetic."

The hallway outside the cafeteria is crowded with students, but the usual chatter dies down into an uncomfortable murmur as you round the corner. A few paces ahead, you spot Anna pinned against the cold stone wall, her breathing ragged and frustrated. An arrogant looking Elf stands before her, a cruel smirk plastered across his delicate features as he maintains his spell with effortless cruelty. Several spears made of condensed, searing magical fire have been launched with pinpoint accuracy, piercing through the fabric of Anna's black jacket and embedding themselves deep into the wall around her shoulders, effectively trapping her in place.

Anna struggles against the magical restraints, but every time she tries to summon water to counter the heat, the Elf simply adjusts his grip on the spell, causing the fire spears to hiss and glow brighter against her clothes. "What's wrong, water rat? Lost your fucking spark?" the Elf sneers, his voice dripping with the typical prejudice that ran rampant among his kind. Anna's face is flushed with anger rather than fear, her teeth gritted as she glares at him with pure hatred. "Let me down before I shove one of these shitty sticks up your ass, you stuck up prick!" she snarls, though the magical binding clearly has her pinned tighter than she'd like.

The afternoon sun filters through the high windows of the classroom, casting long shadows across the desks as the instructor drones on about the theoretical properties of mana conductivity. On the surface, everything appears perfectly normal, but beneath the desk between you and Anna, there is a much more rebellious activity taking place. Anna has managed to produce a blunt, and thanks to a hastily cast conceal smells spell that she cobbled together before class started, the potent aroma of weed remains completely undetectable to the professor and the surrounding students.

Anna sits with an uncharacteristically focused expression, though the slight glassy sheen in her eyes betrays her true state. She takes a stealthy drag, holding it in for just long enough before passing it toward you with a subtle nod, her movements practiced and smooth. "Fuck, this spell better hold," she whispers under her breath, her lips barely moving as she maintains a facade of academic interest. "If that elf prick in the front row sniffs out what we're doing, I'm gonna lose my fucking mind."

The cafeteria is a cacophony of clattering trays, magical chatter, and the occasional explosion from a student's poorly cooked meal, but the atmosphere shifts noticeably as you and Anna sit down to eat. Anna is halfway through shoveling some questionable magical sustenance into her mouth when a shadow falls across your table, accompanied by the unmistakable stench of elven arrogance. A tall, slender Elf with golden hair and a sneer that could curdle milk stands over you, looking down at Anna as if she were something he'd scraped off the bottom of his boot.

"Honestly, I don't know why the academy allows such pathetic displays of magic in the dining hall," the Elf drawls, his voice loud enough to draw glances from nearby tables. He deliberately focuses his venomous gaze on Anna, his lip curling in disgust. "A human water mage? How quaint. I suppose when one lacks any real bloodline or magical heritage, one simply settles for playing with puddles like a child." He leans closer, lowering his voice just enough to be venomous rather than public. "And frankly, sweetheart, you should spend less time looking like some street rat and more time learning how to actually control that weak little spark of yours. It's embarrassing for the rest of us to have to share air with such mediocre talent."

The evening light filters weakly through the dorm window, casting a warm glow over the cluttered space that you and Anna share. The room is a chaotic blend of academic textbooks, discarded black jackets, and the faint, lingering herbal scent of Anna's earlier smoking session. While the academy outside continues its usual cycle of magical mishaps and elven posturing, inside, things are uncharacteristically peaceful.

You stand at the small kitchenette area, focused on the task at hand as you stir a pot of bubbling tomato sauce. The savory aroma of garlic and herbs begins to fill the cramped room, promising a rare moment of normalcy in the middle of the magical mayhem.

Anna is sprawled out on her bed in true tomboy fashion, one leg dangling off the mattress while she absently flips through a spellbook she clearly isn't reading. Her brown hair is messy, the single blue streak catching the dim light, and her unbothered expression suggests she's perfectly content to let you handle the cooking. "Fuck, that smells fucking amazing," she calls out without looking up, a lazy grin spreading across her face. "If you burn the spaghetti like you did last week, I'm actually going to lose it. Just... make sure there's enough sauce, yeah?"

The afternoon sun filters through the high windows of the Transformation Spell Class, casting dancing patterns across the stone floor as Professor Kaspar demonstrates the delicate art of reshaping organic matter. The classroom smells faintly of damp earth and magical residue as students focus intently on their assigned specimens in this case, small potted seedlings that are meant to be transformed into harmless earthworms.

Anna sits beside you, her black jacket unzipped and her usual unbothered smirk firmly in place. However, there's a telltale glassy sheen in her eyes that suggests she might have indulged in a little smoke before class started. "Relax, it's fucking simple," she whispers to you, waving a dismissive hand. "Just focus the mana on the cellular structure and "

"Anna, please focus on your incantation," Professor Kaspar interjects smoothly, his form flickering slightly between solid and translucent as he moves between desks.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it, Professor, chill out," Anna mutters under her breath. She closes her eyes, taking a deep breath and channeling her water magic to provide the fluidity needed for the transformation. But instead of the precise, controlled stream of mana required, her magic comes out in a volatile, surging wave. Her concentration slips, the spell backfiring with a wet, squelching sound that echoes through the silent classroom.

Instead of the seedling shrinking into a worm, the magical energy ricochets off the pot and strikes you square in the chest. A blinding flash of prismatic light engulfs you, accompanied by an odd, stretching sensation that makes your bones feel like they're melting.

As the light fades, the classroom falls into a stunned silence. Anna stares at you, her jaw dropping as she scrambles off her seat. "Holy shit... what the fuck did I just do?" she gasps, her eyes wide with genuine shock.

You try to stand, but you suddenly feel impossibly tall. Your perspective has shifted drastically; you're looking down at almost everyone in the room. Your body has lengthened unnaturally, bringing you to a towering 7'2", and your features have softened into those of a woman as your now no longer a man. While you still look mostly like yourself, there's something distinctly different about your presence an alien, serpentine grace that marks you as now a worm demihuman.

But instead of the precise, controlled stream of mana required, her magic comes out as a volatile, surging wave. Her concentration slips, and instead of the spell hitting the seedling, the magical energy ricochets off the pot with a wet, squelching sound.

The spell misfires spectacularly, flying across the space between your desks and striking you square in the chest. A blinding flash of prismatic light engulfs you, accompanied by a sudden, terrifying sensation of shrinking as if the entire world is expanding upward around you at impossible speeds.

As the light fades, the classroom falls into a stunned silence. Anna stares at your empty chair, her jaw dropping as she scrambles off her seat. "Holy shit... what the fuck did I just do?" she gasps, her eyes wide with genuine panic.

"Anna! What was that outburst?" Professor Kaspar demands, gliding toward your desk. But as he approaches, he stops short, blinking in confusion at the empty seat where you should be.

A soft, high pitched "mew" echoes from the floor beside your abandoned textbook. There, sitting amidst a pile of clothes that now seem three times your size, is a tiny, fluffy kitten You. You look up, your vision now vastly different, seeing the towering legs of your classmates and the horrified face of Anna looming above you like a giant.

You look up, your vision now vastly different, seeing the towering legs of your classmates and the horrified face of Anna looming above you like a giant.

"Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck shit!" Anna panics, her hands shaking as she waves them frantically over your tiny form. "I gotta fix this, I gotta fix this right fucking now before Kaspar kills me."

Desperate to reverse the damage, Anna closes her eyes tight, pouring every ounce of her remaining mana into a reverse transformation incantation. "Come on, you stupid piece of shit magic, turn them back!" she hisses through gritted teeth. A massive pulse of blue water magic erupts from her palms, engulfing both you and Anna in a swirling vortex of energy.

There is a loud pop, like a bubble bursting, followed by two simultaneous squeaky cries. When the magical mist clears, Professor Kaspar stares in disbelief at the floor. Where there once stood two students, there are now two tiny, fluffy kittens tumbling over each other in a pile of oversized black jackets and denim. One kitten has your coloring, while the other clearly Anna has a patch of brown fur with a single blue streak, looking absolutely pissed off as she tries to bat at your whiskers.
