Ace : Argh! Stop jumping around like that!

Grim : Heh heh heh! Catch me if you can!

Deuce : No fair climbing up onto the chandelier, you coward!
I haven't really learned flight magic yet...
What could I summon to hold onto him...? Hmmm...
Oh! That's it!

Ace : Did you come up with somethi- Oh, hey! Stop! What are you doing?!
Why are you pointing your pen at me?!

Deuce : Because I'm going to launch you.

Yuu : No way does this end well.

[Name] : Mhm, this is not going to end well.. I do hope nothing goes that bad..

Ace : Are you kidding me?! Bwaaah! Put me down!
Seriously, do not launch me! Abort! ABORT!

Deuce : Just make sure to grab him tight.
I've got him in my sights, and... Go!

Ace : BWAAAAAAAH!

Grim : MYAAAAAAAAH?!

Yuu : The chandelier!!!

[Name] : Oh dear.. I knew this was going to happen..

Ace : *Cough* *Cough* *Hack* I cannot believe you just did that!

Grim : Myaaah...

Deuce : Oh, right! I probably should have come up with a way to soften your landing after you caught him...

Ace : You complete and total moron!
We got Grim, but we broke the chandelier! If the headmage finds out about this-

Crowley : If I find out about... what, dear Ace?

[Name] : and he is here..

Ace : Ah! Headmage Crowley...!

Crowley : YOU. THREE. AGAIN. What have you done this time?!

Grim : Myaaah... Everything's spinning...

Crowley : Burning a statue wasn't enough for you? Now you've destroyed a chandelier?! You even go [Name] involved!
Enough. All four of you are expelled.

Deuce & Ace : Whaaaaaaaaat?!

Deuce : Headmage, please! Give me a second chance! I can't get expelled from this school! I need to be here!

Crowley : Then blame yourself for your own foolish behavior.

Deuce : I'll pay for the damages! However much it costs!

Crowley : That chandelier is no mere light fixture.
It is magical chandelier. Its candles are powered by a magical energy source, enchanted so that they will burn for eternity.
It was created for us by a legendary artificer. Possibly their finest creation.
It has been here since the school was established, and I imagined it would be here forevermore.
Considering its historical value, I would estimate its worth to be no less than a billion thaumarks.
And you intend to repay that sum?

[Name] 💭 : this is a lot.. No wonder he's so angry, I would be angry too..

Deuce : A... A billion marks?!

Ace : B-But I'm sure with your magical talent, sir, you could snap your fingers and fix it right up!

[Name] : Magic has limits Ace, you should've thought this threw..

Crowley : Even magic has its limits.
Furthermore, its magestone - the figurative heart of any magical artifact - is cracked.
A magestone cannot easily be replaced.
I fear the candles of this majestic chandelier will never burn again.

Ace : This is bad...

Deuce : What am I going to do?! How am I going to tell my mother...?

Crowley : Ah...! But there may be on way.
One tiny sliver of chance to repair this chandelier.
