Smaug is walking down the hall of the school and he passes by a dark classroom.

Smaug:"Lalala Nothing bad is going to ha-"

An arm comes out of the classroom and grabs Smaug and pulls him in.

Smaug is about to yell when someone covers his mouth.

Smaug sees, Kazuma covering his mouth. With Koenig, Neumann and Grantz behind him.

Kazuma:"Smaug, we need you help with something okay?"

Smaug nods his head.

Kazuma:"Okay, we found some- Hey!"

Kazuma pulls his hand away and it's wet.

Kazuma:"You licked my hand."

Smaug has his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then he licks his lips.

Smaug:"Mmmm tasty."

The others shiver.

Kazuma:"Enough of that, Smaug we found some red stuff."

Smaug's eyes widen.

Smaug:"The red stuff?"

Kazuma:"Yes, the red stuff."

Smaug:"The real red stuff?"

Kazuma:"The real red stuff."

Smaug has some small drool drip from the corner of his mouth.

Smaug:"I'm tired of Milk and water. I want the red stuff. I'm in!"

Everyone highfives.

Later in class.

Demiurge:"That's an abandonment of your duties as a teacher. Freedom is something that's given as a reward for responsibility and talent."

Vanir:"That sounds like what a hard headed demon would say. As an individual, I have the right to exercise my freedom."

Demiurge: "I'm not interested in the rights of fools."

Neumann looks to Koenig and nods. Koenig looks to Kazuma and nods. Kazuma looks to Smaug and nods. Smaug looks to grants and nods. Grants also nods.

Demiurge:"That way of thinking leads to destruction."

Vanir:"Destruction! How wonderful! That's just what I want--"

The bell rings.

Vanir:"Oops. Seems we're out of time. That's all for today."

Later.

Koenig, Neuman, Kazuma, Grantz and Smaug are standing outside of the principal's office.

Koenig:"Okay, let's get to work."

Smaug:"Red Stuff!"

Kazuma:"Just in case, let's use my skill, Stealth, to get inside."

Neuman:"Yup."

Kuzauma:"Okay, let's go."

Suddenly a wild Aqua appears.

Aqua:"Hey, what are you up to?"

Smaug:'Thot alert! Everyone get the weapons!'

Kazuma:"Geh! Aqua!"

Aqua:"What's with the 'geh'? You were making suspicious glances just now, weren't you? I was wondering if you were up to something fun, so I followed you. This is the principal's office! What are you doing here?"

Grantz:"We're going to get some of the red stuff in the principal's office."

Smaug:"No idiot!"

Kazuma:"Don't tell her!"

Aqua gets excited.

Aqua:"The red stuff? The red stuff?"

Kazuma sighs.

Smaug:'Last time I was with a drunk Aqua, she couldn't stand the next morning.'

Grantz:"Should I have kept my mouth shut? Is she the type to get seriously mad about drinking?"

Kazuma:"No, that's not a problem, but..."

Aqua:"I looked for the bubbly stuff and couldn't find it anywhere. I'm willing to resort to the red stuff! So it's in the principal's office, huh? Let's take some. Rejoice! I, Aqua, the water goddess, will accompany you and aide you in your efforts!"

Grantz:"She's really nice!"

Kazuma:"Guys, you need to realize this mission just got a lot harder."

Koenig:"What fo you mean?"

Smaug:"Her luck is utter crap."

Neumann:"Seriously?"

Aqua:"Huh?"

Kazuma opens the door to the office.

Kazuma:"Comin' through... So, where is it?"

Smaug:"Maybe at the cabinet over there."

Aqua walks in and heads over to it.

Aqua:"Oh, that! Let's grab it then!"

Kazuma:"Aqua, think before you act!"

Aqua opens the cabinet doors and sees the wine.

Aqua:"This must be it! Wow, it's good stuff!'

Aqua reaches out and grabs one.

Kazuma:"You idiot! Don't touch it!"

Aqua picks one up and turns around.

An alarm goes off.

Voice:"You impudent fools!"

Suddenly lazers turn on.

Smaug curls his long tail around himself. 

Grantz:"What is this?"

Kazuma:"A trap!"

Smaug:"It's like those movies I watch."

Koenig pulls out a pen.

Koenig:"Wall, that's a pain."

Koenig puts the pen to the lazer and it burns off the tip of the pen.

Koenig:*Sweat drops.* "This is fatal, huh?"

Neumann:"Yup."

Kazuma:"This is your fault for not thinking before you acted!"

Aqua"It's not my fault! I never thought there'd be a trap!"

Koenig:"We were foolish as well. We've spent too much time in a peaceful environment."

Grantz:"If the battalion commander sees us like this, we're done for. She'll tell us we should've been more careful!"

Koenig:"No, she'll tell us we shouldn't have tried to steal the red stuff."

Neumann:"Yup."

Smaug:"I just wanted some red stuff."

Aqua:"Anyway, let's get out of here! It's scary!"

Then Aqua points at a door.

Aqua:"Look, the entrance is unguarded! If we can get over there..."

Kazuma:"There was no entrance over there."

Neumann:"Yup."

Koenig:"There was no door there."

Koenig throws his pen at the door and a giant mouth appears and eats the pen. Aqua screams.

Aqua:*Starts to cry.* "Kazuma! It was a monster! A monster!

Kazuma:"Aqua, are you having memory problems?" 

Then the group makes there way to the other side of the room avoiding many traps. 

Koenig then cuts red wire and the alarms turn off. Smaug has a small fire on his head.

Koenig:"And we're done."

Smaug pats his the fire out on his head.

Koenig:"Now we've successfully disarmed all the traps."

Grantz:"Now all we need to do is get out of here and get the red stuff into a glass, and it's mission accomplished, right?"

Neumann:"Yup!"

Smaug:"Mmm, I can't wait."

Koenig sees Kazuma staring at the imperial flag.

Koenig:"What's wrong, Kazuma?"

Kazuma:"This frame..."

Koenig:"Something bothering you?"

Kazuma:"No, it's just my imagination, maybe. I was just curious about the emblem."

Smaug sighs in satisfaction. 

Kazuma:"I was just curious about the emblem."

Neumann:"It's the flag of our Empire."

Kazuma:"Yeah."

Koenig:"Yeah. The principal is one of the big shots at our country's strategic HQ."

Kazuma:"And he prepared all these traps? Scary old guy."

Neumann:"You've got that right!"

Everyone laughs.

Aqua:"Hey, forget all that. Let's go!"

Kazuma:"Yup, time to split..."

Smaug hiccups.

Voice:"Yeah, that ain't happening!"

The picture frame starts to shake.

Aqua:"What? What? What?"

Koenig:"Prepare for combat, everyone!"

Aqua:"What? What? What?"

Then five giant toads come out from a hole in the wall that was behind the picture frame.

Neumann:"What's going on here?"

Kazuma:"Giant toads! Monsters from our world!"

Koenig:"Are they strong?"

Kazuma:"They're....! They're really not."

Neumann:"Then..."

Neumann runs up to one and punches it. It does nothing to the toad. Smaug walks over to one and stares at it.

Kazuma:"But punching then doesn't work."

The toad eats Neuman and another toad eats Smaug and another eats Grantz.

Koenig:"Neumann! Grantz! Smaug!"

Kazuma:"This is bad! We'll be wiped out!"

Koenig looks to the wine bottle.

Koenig:"Yes. But we have to protect this, no matter what!"

Kazuma:"Fortunately, there are only five giant toads! And they can only swallow one person each!

Koenig:"Which means..."

Kazuma:"If two of us sacrifice ourselves to allow one to escape with it, the mission will be a success!"

Koenig:"The mission's a success if even one of us survives!"

Kazuma:"Yeah. Let's entrust everything to Aqua!"

Aqua:"Kazuma."

Koenig:"That's right. This is a man's job. Aqua, when we make it out of this, let's all have a drink."

Aqua:"Horse faced man!"

Koenig:"My name is Koenig."

Koenig runs at a toad.

Koenig:"Forget about me! Go!"

The toad eats Koenig.

Aqua:"Horse faced man!"

Kazuma:"Horse faced man! We won't forget your sacrifice."

Aqua:"There's only one left. Go for it, Kazuma!"

Kazuma:"Go for what?"

Aqua:"What do you mean, go for what?"

Kazuma:"I ain't jumping in the mouth of no giant toad."

Aqua:"Huh?"

Kazuma:"Why would I? Not happening. So, have fun, Aqua. Skill: Stealth."

Kazuma disappears. 

Later.

Kazuma grabs the bottle of wine off the ground.

Kazuma:"The red stuff... is mine!"

Roswaal:"What are you dooooing?"

Kazuma turns around and sees Roswaal and Ram.

Kazuma:"Well, um..."

Roswaal:"I understand how you feeeeeel."

Kazuma:"Ram, you ratted us out to the teacher!"

Ram:"Of course. I'm on Mr. Roswaal's side."

Roswaal then starts to cast magic.

Roswaal:"Grantz, Neumann, Koenig, Aqua, Smaug and Kazuma."

Roswaal cancels his magic. 

Roswaal:"I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to break the school rules."

The toads spit out the others. 

Smaug has a small blush.

Roswaal:"You're all getting... deteeeeeention!"

Kazuma drops the bottle and it lands with a hollow clank and some wine drips from the bottle.

Kazuma:"Damn it!"

Smaug hiccups and laughs.
