Liger felt like he was going to implode on himself.
"Ughh.." his knees were starting to buckle as he tried his hardest to stand straight and tall.
Lest he get hit with the whip Ms.Dellis keeps on showing off.
'my stomach hurts so badly.. I took too much mana from those damn juniors.."
If he went in that..whatever the hell that is, and they saw how much mana he had, he would be trained and groomed like a dog.
(Which isn't a good thing!)
'maybe those two have something planned?'
He turned to look at Nora and Tori and felt his hope get crushed to the floor.
Nora was coughing and Tori was doing her makeup without a care in the world!
His stomach gurgled and he almost curled into himself like shrimp, which earned him a sharp look from his home room teacher.
Her look softened and she lifted her hand and pointed at him
"Y'know, I'm feeling quite generous today.
Liger, front of the line."
'I hate my life..'

Nora swallowed her pill and turned to see Tori when she saw a clown had taken her place.
Still she whispered no matter how surprised she was.
"Oh my goodness-pftt, what the hell did you do Tori??"
Tori smiled through the pain and turned to Nora with a wobbly smile
"I-I just did my makeup as usual.."
She even posed, making a peace sign and pitifully bringing it to her face.
'besides, you told me whenever I use this I had to put a lot!' she closed her blush kit and stuffed it in her shirt
"Tori-"
"Liger, Front of the line now, chop chop!"
The boy was all the way in the back and as he walked inbetween the two lines of students.
Well not before shooting a pitiful look to Tori and mouthing 'please'.
He hurried his pace til he got to the front of the line looking ready to hurl.
Tori leaned over to Nora and asked
"Should we help him?"
"He looks congested, how're we supposed to help, if he had to use the bathroom he should've done it before class?"
Tori stared at her with puppy eyes, but the dark pink spread across her face made her look funny.
"Alright, alright, I'll see what I can do. Just- please don't look at me like that." She scrunched her face in utter disgust.
I guess Operation: save Liger was in process, again.
'We'd need a distraction though..' Nora tapped her leg as she went deep into her thoughts.
Nora raised her hand up high while smiling.
'I've got an idea.'
Ms.Dellis took her eyes off of the nervous wreck in front of her and instead directed her attention to a smiling girl with long jet black hair and green Cheshire eyes.
Ms.Dellis took a couple steps closer to her and lazily said
"What do you want..whatever you name is?"
'that kinda hurt.' Nora brushed off her hurt and carefully said
"Umm, Ms.Dellis I was just wondering if maybe we could take our belongings off before we go in the capsule?."
Ms.Dellis thought about it for a second and then walked back towards the capsules before pressing a button that refilled it with the clear liquid.
"You pieces of fecal matter shouldn't have anything valuable on you in the first place. but since I'm so magnanimous, you can drop it on the floor." She pointed to the ground when she finished.
Some kids hesitated before taking off their coats and some small items.
Tori took a couple of pieces of beef jerky out her shirt earning a disgusted look from Ms.Dellis.
While everyone finished taking out their items fairly quickly, Tori kept going.
She pulled out pens, jerky, crumpled papers, and more.
While she was pulling off her little magic trick
Nora slipped towards the front of the line.
Liger didn't even have the strength to be afraid of her anymore.
He shut his eyelids hard to prepare for hell.
She put a hand on his shoulder and he poured as much mana as he could, he didn't stop when all he saw was a decayed landscape, not even when he felt hands about to claw into his back.
He only stopped when the hand slipped away and traveled through the students with ease.
"Haggh..haggh!"
He clutched his throat and froze two dark patterns appeared on his throat.
Ms.Dellisbstarted to look irritated and ignored the girl who made snacks appear out of thin air. (Well not before righteously confiscating a few packs of coffee cookies.)
She grabbed Liger and dragged the boy up the ladder before lifting him over the capsules liquid.
The two guards emerged from the rooms on the side, one quickly walked next Ms.Dellis and strapped a face mask on Liger and cuffed his arms and legs. she wasted no time and let go of his uniform while smiling bright and cheery.
Blurggh
As soon as Liger was dropped in he felt that the liquid was pretty thick, it even took him a little while to reach the bottom.
When he did though he could see through the glass and saw worrying glances from the others.
His skin started to itch terribly.
After being fully submerged it felt like needles the size of fine hairs were probing his skin all the way to the bone.
'oh my God it itches so bad!' Liger didn't think for even another second before he started banging his body against the capsule. He even ended up banging his head atvtge bottom of it few good times.
Ms.Dellis appeared in front of the glass and kicked it harshly.
"This thing is worth more than your all your organs, so don't you dare dirty it with your blood."
She knew that a freshman couldn't even leave a scratch but she felt like being a little petty today.
The guards moved fast in dunking another student in the liquid.
When the other student was submerged she screamed her lungs out, although mostly muffled noise escaped the chamber.
"Crybaby, all you guys do is whine." She looked at Liger, who although was squirming a lot, wasn't screaming bloody murder.
Liger oblivious to the fact he had gained his teacher's attention was still acting like he was fighting for his life in the liquid.
And he would scream if he had the capability to.
