Of the second-year classes, none are more infamous than class 2-C. Endless pranks caused by the impish Mephista. The constant attempts at amateur flight by Wren. The almost daily summoning of entities not even gods know about by Moni. And those are only the mild cases. The class includes Valeria, Casey Ryker, and Honey Oberon. It should also be noted that this class has Tara Anath in it. That's correct. Even with the Head of the Disciplinary Committee, this class is committed to chaos.

Today's culprit is Calliope Mania, who is proudly laughing at the fruits of her labour. What is that the two have committed today? They have filled the 2-C homeroom class with horses. 27 horses, to be exact.

"Callie, the horse is here." Casey Ryker announces, opening the class door and revealing a girl that isn't a horse, despite having genuine horse ears atop her head and a swaying horse tail. The horsegirl goofily walks into the classroom, only to bump into the butt of a horse.

"Cinci, I permit you entrance into my auspicious abode!" Calliope Mania proclaims, yet she is nowhere to be seen from the rulebreaker and horsegirl, her voice originating from somewhere inside the horse crowd. Still, having heard her master's decree, Cinci enters the room with her goofy stride, only to immediately bump face first into a horse butt.

"Cornelius, you fatass!" Cinci remarks, slapping the very ass she bumped into. She's then suddenly kicked by the quadruped and sent flying through the classroom's open door, screaming on her way out.

"Callie, the horse has left." Casey announces again, closing the classroom door and shrugging as she returns to her seat, the horses paying no mind to the half-demon. The door is suddenly slammed open, and with a running start, Cinci attempts a dropkick on Cornelius.

"Cornelius, you fatass! Judgeme-" Cinci yells, only to have her face violently grabbed mid-air, then slammed straight into the ground. Despite the sudden assault, Cinci's face holds a wild smile, having recognised the girl who is currently holding her down to the floor. "Master?!"

"Cinci, you dare harm one of my loyal retainers?!" Calliope pushes Cinci's head further into the ground, even as the horsegirl lovingly raises her arms up, attempting to pull the madwoman into a hug. "Tsk. I can't stay mad at you, can I?"

"Master! I love you!" Cinci happily exclaims as the palm gripping her face lets go, allowing the horsegirl to lunge forward and engulf Calliope in a hug. The two share the hug for a moment, only for Cornelius to kick Cinci again, causing both her and her master to fly out of the door.

"Cornelius! You dare attempt a coup against your overlo-" Calliope exasperates, only to be sent flying by the horse again. Fortunately for her, she's caught by Cinci, but that doesn't stop her from fuming with indignation. "You overweight, inefficient transporter! I'll have you executed for your crimes against humanity, against this kingdom, and most importantly, against me!"

"Callie, hold your… heh… horses." Casey chuckles, standing between Calliope, who is being held back by her ever-faithful assistant, and Cornelius, who is currently emanating a smug aura that mocks the madwoman, enraging her even more. "It's probably not even Cornelius. I'm betting it's Lena."

"What?! Cornelius is a… woman?!" Calliope mutters, her face showing her shocked expression to an almost cartoonish degree. Cinci also shows a surprised look, but only because her master does, since she frankly has no idea what's happening. Casey is being nonchalant until Cornelius kicks her.

"Woah. Why'd you do that? Rude." Casey gives Cornelius a disapproving look. Fortunately for the half-demon, the kick went straight through her, thanks to her so-called Gift protecting her from harm. Calliope, on the other hand, is unlucky, due to the horse's feet making contact with the person behind Casey, which just so happens to be her.

"Master?! Are you okay?!" Cinci chases after the flying madwoman. It takes a moment, but Calliope is back to her feet, returning to the classroom with her body held up by the horsegirl's shoulders.

"Today, I decree the extermination of all horses!" Calliope says, pulling out a knife from the inside pocket of her blazer. She dashes past Casey, swinging her arm at the haughty horse, only for her blade to shatter upon contact. She is also promptly kicked in the face and sent out of the classroom again.

Unlike the other times, however, once Calliope re-enters the room, she finds 26 sets of eyes locked right onto her. Evidently, the horses she has gathered don't agree with her most recent command. After a cartoonishly loud gulp, Calliope jumps onto the back of Cinci, and with a single order, the pair run off, only to be followed by the crowd of horses aside from Cornelius.

"Alright then." Casey watches as the horses exit, one by one, until there's no one left in the classroom but her and Cornelius. The remaining horse promptly transforms into a girl without any horse features, who grabs onto Casey's shoulder for support as she wildly laughs. It's then that another classmate enters, annoyance evident in her expression. "What up, boss bitch?"

"May I inquire as to why 26 horses from the stables ran out of our homeroom?" Tara asks, looking towards the only two girls present. Lena doesn't help answer, instead falling onto the ground laughing and clutching at her stomach. This leaves Casey to answer, which she does.

"Callie wanted a harem, so she gathered up a bunch of horses in the class and was going to use an anthropomorphism spell on them." Casey says, pointing at a stolen spellbook from a forbidden section of the Deep Bookshelves in the library. The annoyance from the Beyonder is on full display as she claps her hand, a hand from the shadows grabbing the book.

"Where is Calliope, then?" Tara questions, only to be answered by nothing but a finger pointing outside. She looks around Casey, out of the window, and finds Calliope standing backwards on the shoulders of Cinci, shooting fireballs out of her hands towards a crowd of horses that all seem to be tanking the magic. "Haa… I'm going back to my office for a moment."

All in all, a peaceful day for class 2-C.

Really sorry about the incredibly late chapter. I don't have an excuse like last time, I just got really lazy. I also was playing Zenless Zone Zero when I should've been writing. Unfortunately, I don't have three character profiles as compensation, but I'll give y'all this: Crack Ship Special #1. Ever since I released that extra for Chapter 14: Costumepalooza, I've been thinking about what has been stopping me from just releasing random things and listing them as specials, and as it turns out, there's nothing (besides my laziness). Expect more whenever I get a dumb idea that wouldn't make sense as a main chapter.
