I sigh and go towards the cabinet to prepare the materials needed for the experiment.
"This should be quick." I say to myself while looking at the single paper Ran took with her, I should've known that there should've been more papers for a biological project.
But it's still annoying having to mix in biology and chemistry.
"Even so, using living mice for this is a bit..." I quietly mumble while looking at the poor mice who's completely obvious to it's incoming fate.
Oh who am I kidding? I've used so many living small animals for my experiments that I don't feel much towards them anymore. Still, I should probably find a way to make this a bit less painful for them.
*clack*
"Hm?"
I turn around towards the sound and it seems to have come from the shelf filled with liquids made by students.
A test tube containing a transparent purple liquid seems to be swaying off of it's support.
"Which idiot left a test tube leaning on nothing but a box??" I complain while going towards the shelf full of past experiments. I need to put the test tube in a more secure position-
*tink* *tink*
"Shit!" I run towards the already falling container with my arms stretched and-
"Gotcha!"
*drip*
"Hm?" I look down at my hands and see that I'm bleeding. The test tube is cracked.
"Oh no...I need to call Ran."
I start shuffling to the door when I feel the test tube I'm holding in my non injured hand heating up
I put it closer to my face to see what's going on and-
*BOOM!*
It explodes. And now? I'm aware of what happened but I'm trapped darkness. I cannot feel my body but it feels like I'm floating...somehow.
'Did I die?'
'I don't wanna die. I still have to graduate with honors and get my parents' memories back before taking down that damn academy and it's council made of should-be-corpses!'
'Why am I cold now? Wait what's that smell?'
I sniff and try opening my eyes, when I feel my eyelids moving I force them open, expecting to see either burning flames or the infirmary ceiling.
But what I see is...green grass?? An enormous, even greener trees?? Why am I by a river? And how come I'm not burned anywhere nor do I feel the slightest- tss!
Spoke too soon. My eyes hurt like he'll due to the sudden light after who knows how long I stayed unconscious.
But still, how come I'm in a forest?
