Chapter Text
Yuu was struggling in their classes.
Can you truly blame them, though? They have to not only learn the curriculum of their current year, but also all of the years of school they weren’t in this world for. Despite some things being the same across Twisted Wonderland and their own world, a lot of things were so, so different.
And their roommates are Grim, who also doesn’t know the curriculum, and a bunch of ghosts who haven’t attended school in years. They’ve tried to help Yuu and Grim understand, but the curriculum has changed so much over the years that not even they understand what’s going on. All of this lead to Yuu barely passing their classes.
It was Trey’s idea to get a tutor. He and Riddle had basically been Yuu’s unofficial tutor since a couple weeks after Riddle’s overblot. However, they were getting increasingly more busy with their housewarden and vice-housewarden duties, so they didn’t have much time for tutoring anymore.
Kalim had encouraged Yuu to join his tutoring sessions with Jamil, but they knew how much Jamil has on his plate, and really didn’t want to add more to it. They would go to Azul, but they knew it would end with them making a deal with him.
With no one to really turn to, they decide to ask Professor Trein about it. Luckily, he understood their situation, and offered to pair them up with one of the third years as a tutor, to which Yuu enthusiastically agrees.
That leads them to this current moment, waiting in the library, their books on the desk in front of them. They had tried to get a head start, but almost immediately, they found themself getting stuck on their alchemy homework.
They let out a sigh, looking up from their homework. As they do, they hear footsteps coming towards them. Soon, they see a figure approaching them.
It’s a boy who seems to be a couple of years older than them. He’s a sheep beastman, his curly white hair is pulled up in a low ponytail. Once he notices Yuu, he lets out a small smile, adjusting his glasses as he walks over to their table.
“Hi there! Are you the one I’m tutoring today?” Yuu nods in response to his question. “I’m Beau Ovis, it’s nice to meet you… Yuu, right?”
They nod.”It’s nice to meet you too!” At this point, they’re used to people knowing their name despite never meeting them. You don’t become a magicless student at a magic school and deal with a bunch of overblots without gaining some sort of notoriety.
As Beau sits across from them, Yuu notices the blue vest as part of Beau’s uniform. Yuu blinks slightly in surprise. “You’re in Ignihyde?” They ask.
“I am!” Beau nods, looking down at the books and assignments that were laid out in front of Yuu. “So what exactly do you need help with?”
The tutoring session with Beau went even better than Yuu could have expected. Beau was super patient and thoroughly explained everything that they were struggling with. He had even brought out his own notebooks that had similar notes so he and Yuu could compare and contrast!
“Thank you so much for everything, Beau! This has been very helpful!” They smile at him, and Beau smiles back.
“You're welcome! If you ever want to do this again, you can usually find me around here!” Both students start packing up their notebooks.
As Yuu grabs their last one, they see a notebook they didn't notice before. It's rather small and a blue-ish purple-ish color. They pick it up.
“Is this yours?” They ask Beau, holding up to show it to him.
His eyes widen, and he very quickly takes it from them. Despite his shock, he quickly smiles once more. “It is! Thank you, I would've forgotten this if you didn't find it!”
He quickly puts it in his backpack, much to Yuu’s confusion. They were going to ask about it, but then their phone went off. It's a Magicam notification from Ace.
Ace: When are you coming back
Ace: Grim is starting to piss me off
Yuu: im basically done ill be there soon
Yuu looks up at Beau. “I should probably go. It was nice to meet you, and thank you again!”
He waves. “It was nice to meet you too!”
Yuu, finally feeling academically confident, walks away.
Beau, after almost being caught, lets out a relieved sigh.
