Chapter Text
At the school gate, students of various races from all over the world walked into the campus. Some were discussing their expectations for the future with their family members, while others were having fun with their friends.
"Disgusting." the horned girl complained in a low voice. She hated hearing people's laughter. Being alone in the depths of the forest is very boring. In the past, some self-righteous heroes or travelers unfamiliar with the area would break in, allowing Maleficent to scare them for fun. But not long ago the king closed the entire forest, taking away her last entertainment. This is why she signed up to come to this school, not only to appreciate the students in pain, but also to confirm whether there is any magic she doesn't know about.
However, she has begun to regret it. Maleficent had never been in the same place with so many humans before, and it was more annoying than she expected. Just as she stopped to think about whether she should give up, the goblins who were following her to help her get her bag got distracted and bumped into her.
"You fools! Now put the bag down. Away you! " A bolt of green lightning emerged from the horned girl’s hand and struck the goblins, who then disappeared into the smoke.
"Could this day get any worse?" Maleficent thought to herself. She picked up the bag on the floor and decided to go directly to drop out of school, but a hand blocked her way.
She looked at the owner of the hand, who had blue hair, a tall and lean figure, punk rock clothing style, and deep eyes. She has to say, he was completely her cup of tea.
"Hello dark and deadly! Hades, lord of the underworld. Maybe you heard of me. How you doing?"the blue-haired boy looked at her and said.
If Maleficent was in a good mood, she might be willing to say a few words to him before driving him away, but unfortunately, her current mood was one of the worst. Although the man in front of her was really charming, she didn't feel like wasting time with him. Maleficent raised her hand, shot a burst of fire into Hades' face, and left.
Perhaps because the arson just now had a cathartic effect, Maleficent felt that her mood was not that bad now, and she even had a smile on her lips. Maybe she should give this campus life a chance. She might meet the boy again and she would be willing to talk to him next time.

"Hades? Is Hades here? Starting skipping class on the first day, huh?" Merlin sighed helplessly and continued to roll call.
Hades. Maleficent recognized this name. He was the boy who accosted her yesterday. It turned out that they were in the same class, but it was a pity that he did not come to class.
Did she strike too hard yesterday? But she only used the lightest fire magic. If he couldn't bear this level of magic, he couldn't be worthy of her. Wait, was she worried about him just now? Worried, the word that made Maleficent feel sick even just thinking about it. She couldn't understand what was wrong with her.
The first class was boring. The teacher taught very basic things. There was nothing Maleficent could learn. What was more important than what the teacher taught was that her mind was now filled with the blue-haired boy from yesterday. This has never happened to Maleficent before, she doesn't know how to deal with this emotion, she just wants to see him again as soon as possible.
It was finally lunch break. Maleficent walked around the campus, hoping to see the blue figure, but until the afternoon class was about to start, she couldn't find the person she wanted to meet.
When she was so disappointed that she was about to give up and go to class, the figure she had been looking for appeared in front of her. However, he didn't notice her at all, but ran elsewhere as if looking for someone. Maleficent looked over curiously, but saw the scene she least wanted to see. Hades put one hand on the side of the fairy godmother and lowered his head to her, not knowing what he was talking about.
Maleficent couldn't take another look at the scene in front of her and turned away. She was filled with anger now. She was angry that the woman dared to approach the man she liked, but she was even more angry that Hades would not want her and instead approach such a geek girl who was obviously inferior to her.
Maleficent returned to the room, threw her bag on the floor, and fell on the bed. She was no longer in the mood to go to class today, and her mind was stuck on the scene just now.
She wants to cast a curse to take revenge immediately, but what will others think of her when they know? Maleficent, the mistress of all evil, gets jealous and curses men because he didn't love her. That is just pathetic, and totally not her style. She tried to tell herself that she could just forget about him, but the more she thought about it,the more she missed him..
***
Maleficent didn't sleep last night because as soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of that scene. Fortunately, Hades seemed to be planning to skip class today, so she could avoid seeing him in the classroom. Just when Maleficent was about to take this opportunity to catch up on some sleep, a word mentioned by the teacher caught her attention.
Forgetfulness potion, why didn't she think of it? Although Maleficent hadn't made it for a long time, she remembered the method and the ingredients were all in her castle, except - oh right, she forgeted the most difficult part, if she just wants to forget a specific person or thing, she needs to put in material about it, which means that in order to forget him, she must first get close to him.
Maleficent spent the entire class wondering if there were any other ways to forget Hades, but these methods either required being close to him or had other side effects, and in the end none of them was suitable. Maleficent left the classroom and prepared to find a place to have lunch where she would not be disturbed to change her mood, but by coincidence, she saw that annoying figure again.
Hades was talking to a girl again. Although it was different from the girl last time, she was still a not-so-looking geek.
"Look, Hades is chatting up a new girl again." "I also saw him talking to another girl yesterday." "Although it's a bit scary, he's actually quite handsome." "Actually, he came to me yesterday too. I spoke, but he was——" The students on the side whispered.
"It seems like this guy doesn't have very good taste." Maleficent thought to herself. She was not interested or wanted to know more, so she turned and left.
After all, time has diluted everything. Hades' figure no longer occupies Maleficent’s mind all the time like it did at the beginning, but she still feels a little unpleasant whenever she sees Hades, so she always turned away whenever she saw him.
***
Maleficent hasn't seen Hades for several days. She wasn't sure if it was because he noticed that she would avoid him, so he wisely avoided her. Compared with him, Maleficent now has a more serious problem to solve, which is boredom. She is so bored. She came to this school to get some entertainment. However, the things taught here were either things she didn't need or things she had already learned. Moreover, most of the students here were well-behaved princesses and princes, so there was no conflict or chaos that she had expected to see. If this continues, she will reconsider whether to drop out of school.
After finishing Potions, the only class she was interested in, Maleficent took her lunch to the yard and started to eat berries from the box while looking at the crowd boredly. After a while, she noticed that Hades was walking towards her. Just as she was about to get up and leave, she was grabbed by him, and she felt her heart skip a beat.
"What do you want?"Maleficent tried her best to hide her inner excitement. It had been a long time since she had taken a good look at Hades' face. His eyes, nose, mouth, everything was touching her heart. Her heart was beating wildly as she expected what Hades would say to her, but she absolutely couldn't show it.
"Mal, beauty, I think I might have been too rude the first day we met, so I prepared a gift for you today to make up. Can you forgive me?"Hades took out a beautifully wrapped gift box. His voice was deep and magnetic, making it irresistible, but Maleficent would not be fooled so easily.
"Oh really? Did you give the Fairy Godmother the same gift?"
"Wait? What? Why did you say that?"
"Everyone is saying that you went around looking for girls to talk to after being rejected by me. Do you think I will be as easy to deceive as those rubble? Save it."she broke free from Hades' hand and left without looking back. She just wants to stay away from Hades now, as far away as possible, because she can't guarantee whether she will fully fall for him if she looks at him one more time. She definitely doesn't want to be compared with those geeks.
Maleficent made up her mind to take a break from school this time. When she was about to go back to her room to pack her luggage, a boy holding a skateboard ran past her, accompanied by several fireballs thrown at him. Then, Hades, who was covered in fire, chased after him. The gift he wanted to give to Maleficent just now fell out, and the ribbon binding the box was burned by the flames, making the contents of the box clearly visible.
It was a small stone gargoyle, something a normal person would never think of giving to a girl, but Maleficent just liked collecting them.
"Have you heard? Hades was dumped because of the rumors that he was a philanderer, so now he is aggressively attacking the person who spread the rumors." "I thought the whole school knew that he was only chasing Maleficent." The students on the side were chatting while looking at the burn marks caused by Hades' attack.
Maleficent picked up the gift and walked slowly along the traces of fire.
***
"Listen man, I don't really fucking care is you or not. I just really need to find someone to burn with to vent my anger now, ok? Any other last words?"在某個死路裡，Hades produced a huge fireball in his hand and approached the student step by step.
"Finally something interesting happened in this boring prison. I was almost tortured to death by this meaningless place."The scene in front of her was exactly the conflict and chaos that Maleficent expected to see in school. This was the first time she felt happy since entering school.
"Maleficent? What? But, I thought you left? "Hades stopped what he was doing and looked at her in surprise.
"I'm just here to return what you just dropped. I think you do have some taste for choosing gifts."Maleficent held the gift dropped by Hades in her hand. "If you are still willing, I will love to accept it."
"Of course, that was specially prepared for you."
"You know? I really appreciate the man with fire, cuz that always arouses the fire dragon in me."she said as her finger slid on Hades' chest.
"Well, baby, let me tell you something. I am always on fire." Hades gently put his hand on her shoulder. "How about let's go somewhere quiet and enjoy our time together, should we?"
"Sure."Maleficent took Hades' hand and followed him away from this chaos.
