So... We've got evil brewing but... Nobody else needs to know that!

Alexa and Renée were waiting for class to start. Like last period, a box rolled into class.

"Huh?" Fern blinked.

"A... Box?" Alexa wondered.

"Aha, you were fooled!" The box became a man.

Alexa scrambled back,"Cool! I'd rather not have a heart attack though."

"Apologies, it's just a little trick I enjoy doing once in a while." He chuckled,"My name is Mr Tobias and I am your power practice teacher."

"Nice to meet ya!" Alexa smiled.

"It's nice to meet you too!"

Jay fluttered into the classroom and yanwed,"Hi."

"Greetings, welcome to power practice." Mr Tobias nodded.

Jay crossed her arms,"So what do I do here? Just... Fly?"

"If that's your power." He shrugged.

Abigail walked into history and sat down. Alessandra followed closely behind, lost in a good book.

"Wait for me." Calypso called, swimming in.

"Did they make these streams especially for you?" Alessandra asked, not looking up.

"It's required for the school to be accessible for all origins and so they need water for any merlings." He shrugged.

"Curious." Alessandra shut her book,"I don't believe I have told you my origin so I suppose I should."

"What is it?" Abigail asked,"And what book is that? Where'd you get it? It looks interesting."

"Gee, I wonder what you are." Calypso smirked, already knowing by her appearance and actions."

"No surprise here, I'm a vampire. And the book? The adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Canon Doyle." Alessandra showed it.

"Interesting." Calypso hummed.

"Hm, never read it. Maybe there's another copy in the library." Abigail nodded.

"You could borrow my mine if you want! I'm almost done anyway." Alessandra told her.

Abigail brightened,"Okay!"

"Where even is this teacher?" Calypso looked around.

Abigail shrugged,"I don't know, maybe still dealing with Hades."

"I really don't like him." Calypso shook his head.

"Me neither. Charlotte and Shelby don't like him either." Abigail sighed.

"Is that the kid who is always in diamond armour? He called me stuck up." Alessandra snorted.

"Thinks he's so great because he's strong and a half-wither." Calypso rolled his eyes,"He's a loser, he even bullies the teachers! Who in their right mind would bully Miss Valeska?"

"He picked on Miss Valeska?" Abigail asked, shocked.

"He insulted her dragons and authority." Calypso pointed.

"From what I heard, he killed Mr Boyle's dog and challenged the Principal to a duel." Alessandra spoke up.

"Oh, I could maybe forgive everything else... But a dog? No."

"That's mean." Abigail commented,"Charlotte told me he blew up her and Shelby's cookies on the first day."

"As of, uh, right now I am starting a club. It's a secret for us, okay?" Calypso looked at the other two.

Alessandra raised a brow.

"The 'We Hate Hades Club'" He announced.

"Can Charlotte and Shelby join?" Abigail asked him.

"Of course they can." Calypso nodded.

Abigail smiled.

"I'm pretty sure it isn't a secret. Literally everyone in this school does." Alessandra giggled.

"Well, our club is a secret from him. We're gonna have meetings and invite teachers and everything." Calypso explained.

"And have cookies." Abigail added.

"Obviously."

"So we just shove him into a room while the whole school plots against him? He's one man, he can't be that hard to kick out. Literally just get the Principal to suspend him. What's he gonna do, stab someone?" Alessandra scoffed.

"I'm not sure, he gives me bad energy." Calypso shook his head.

"If the teacher isn't coming, then I'm going back to my room." Abigail then left.

"Me too, I need to plot against Hades." Calypso swam away.

"I'm going to prepare my lunch." Alessandra left as well.

Abigail flopped down on her bed and grabbed her diary, starting to write.

"Dear diary,
'So I know it's been a bit, but it seems like this school could be interesting after all. Anyways, I'm in a club that doesn't like Hades. Eh, he's never offended me.' She paused,'Maybe... Maybe... Maybe there's something we don't know. About him, who he is, what's happened to him, how his family treated him. Who he, just like me, has lost or caused the death of.'
Sincerely, Abigail."

She thought back to the explosion that killed her best friend and how her foolishness had caused the death of another.

Charlotte bounced around the gym, avoiding Shelby's attempts to catch her and play dodgeball with her.

"I'd be too good!" She yelled.

"Two eager students, I see?" Mr Felidae hopped off the ledge he was sat on.

Charlotte nodded and Shelby tackled her to the ground.

"PLAY DODGEBALL PLEASE! I NEED YOU ON MY TEAM!" Shelby begged.

Mr Felidae hopped back onto his ledge,"Jesus."

Hades strolled in, laughing,"Man, I bet you guys thought the Principal would expel me or some shit. Well, I'm back!"

Charlotte stopped running from Shelby and Shelby stared at Hades.

"How the heck did you manage that?" She asked.

"Witchcraft." Valkyrie sighed.

"Makes sense." Charlotte nodded.

She ran to the opposite side of the hall from Hades and started trying to throw the basketball into the hoop.

"So you're the one who everyone's talking about?" Mr Felidae raised a brow.

"Nice to know I'm the most famous person in this school." Hades laughed.

Mr Felidae hopped back off of his ledge,"Well, I suppose I should welcome you to P.E."

"Why thank you." Hades did a little bow.

"Go on, get moving."

Ivy was jumping up and down, very excited and Circe was acting like she didn't know her.

"Please, try to relax. You might scare the creatures, or the teacher." E.P.R sighed as he walked over.

Ivy plopped down on the ground half-heartedly,"Awh, I'm sorry! I'm just really excited. Plus, lunch is after this!"

"I know, but according to my programing, this teacher appears to be rather sensitive and her stress levels are heightened." E.P.R informed her.

"Ah." Ivy grabbed some berries from her bag and stuffed them in her mouth.

"Where is the teacher?" Circe asked quietly.

"Wishing she was dead." Miss Valeska sighed as she leaned against the side door.

Circe decided that for once, she would speak, necessary or not,"Are you alright?"

"Nope. And before any of you ask, I don't want to talk about it." Miss Valeska pointed.

Circe nodded, knowing better than to test boundaries.

"What are we going to be doing today?" Ivy attempted to change the subject.

"Outside, learning to care for a baby Ryu." Miss Valeska explained.

"I love Ryu! I knew I would like this class!" Ivy cheered.

"Great, now come on." Miss Valeska lead them outside.
