Prompt: The auditorium is filled with students seated in chairs and you're one of them. At the back are large groups of Hellhounds, Minotaurs, Ogres, Manticores, Cheshire Cats, and Dark Elves. The Hakutaku principal, Ms. Deryaka, is on the stage, but you notice that her left eye is glowing a bright purple and seems to have small cracks coming out of it.

She is shaking and twitching uncontrollably as she gives her speech.

"You've all been bad, very bad!" she declares, her words shaking.

"There have been reported escapes as well as missing food from the cafeteria, but none of you came forward to say who it was, I'm sure many of you are innocent, but unfortunately, due to a lack of evidence and confessions, the administration has decided to punish all of you!"

She stumbles over to a large cover and pulls it, revealing a wheel containing two pictures each of the respective monsters at the back.

"This school was supposed to help bad boys like you improve your negative behavior and get you back into society, but it seems that we've been too kind and need to be a little harsher."

Ms. Deryaka points to the wheel and announced through her bizarre twitching, "Starting today, each of you will recieve a Punisher, you can only spin once, so if you don't like who you get, well too bad!"

She points to the mamono at the back and says, "Every night before bed, you must be 'punished' by your Punisher for an hour and she gets to decide how your punishment gets carried out, any refusals and they get to add on another hour. Try to negotiate, and an hour is added. Hours are added each time you refuse."

She gets back to the podium and a portal opens, revealing the school that you and the other students reside in. "We have hellhound and succubus guards working around the clock to catch any escapees, anyone caught trying to escape will recieve their first offense."

A stockade appears in the portal. "They will be locked here and the guards and their Punishers will get to have their way with them for thirty minutes."

The stockade switches to what appears to be a room containing chains and other restraints. Ms. Deryaka points to it and says, "The second offense will land you here, and a specialized team of mamono including your Punisher will whip you and spank you for thirty minutes."

A massive grin appears on her face as the portal switches to what appears to be a dark room. "And the third offense, will earn you a day in here with Gretchen!"

A massive Hellhound slowly reveals herself and the students freak out at the monstrosity. "I love playing with punks like you kids, go ahead and break the rules as much as you want!" she bellows out, causing the students to become even more distressed.

The portal closes, and that's when you look behind you and notice through a cracked door someone in a red robe who is seemingly ushering kids through a portal. "Now, who should go first!?" comes Ms. Deryaka's excited voice.





Answer: <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;line-height:15.75pt;">As the principal starts at the front, I know I have some time to think. Knowing the others are escaping I'm comforted, now I just need a way to get to them myself. I really wish my mentor hadn't gotten caught before teaching me a bit more.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I start focusing what little control I have over my spirit energy, and suddenly find myself in the hakutaku's gaze, a cruel smile curling her lips. "What have we here?" She hisses, purple eye seeming to bore straight through me. "An aspiring mage, hmm? Well, I think you need to be disciplined, get him ladies." The mamono behind me go to grab me, breaking my focus and letting out an uncontrolled burst of SE. The mamono all get a hazy look in their eyes, and they're all directed at me.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Just as they pounce on me, I feel the rush of a teleportation spell and find myself floating against the roof. The portal next to Deryaka shifts, revealing my lich mentor, who steps through, calm as ever.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Sigh, are you really this worthless without me to hold your hand?" She asks, Deryaka's shaking has intensified, and she looks ready to burst with rage.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Who do you think you are?!" She screams, throwing a slap at the lich. The hand never reaches the dead mage, who turns to stare into her cursed eye.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I am this child’s mentor, and let me assure you, he will be punished for his ineptitude." I can't find space to be afraid of what punishment she has in mind through the relief of seeing her again. "But first, why don't we fix that problem of yours..." I see the familiar tweak of a smile on her lips, and almost feel sorry for the hakutaku.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Wh- No! No you can't!" She screams, staring deeply into my mentors eyes and getting a crack of laughter for her troubles. Her eyes go wide as my mentor cocks her head.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"You know I have no soul for you to bore into, Deryaka. I think it's time you went to sleep." The hakutaku's body starts to shake, and her eyes roll up into her head, shortly before she lets out a loud moan. She falls limply to the ground, slowly blinking, both eyes normal.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I suddenly start floating towards my mentor, who drops me on my arse on the stage. "Come." She beckons. "You clearly have even more than I thought to learn. And trust me, when your punishment is over, you'll wish I'd left you here." There's a howl from the back of the room, and turning to look, the punishers are all charging at us.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">My mentor rolls her eyes and moves both of us back to her tower. Feeling the cold stones beneath my feet had never felt so good. When I turn to my mentor, my relief is instantly drowned out by dread as I spot her mixing up a new potion. She turns to me with that same tweaked smile as she gave Deryaka.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Time for that punishment apprentice."
