My Little Pony: Raze Redemption
Episode 3: Teaching is (not) easy!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhat a beautiful day in Equestria, another day passed, a new day arrived. Like the usual everyone is doing their own business, foal are playing, the ponies are working. But everyone was preparing for the upcoming autumn. In the castle of Friendship, it seems everything is going per-
“No, no, no, I don’t think I’m suitable for this.” Raze said.
“Ugh, it has been the fifteen jobs you rejected, Raze! What else do you want?!” Twilight complained before tossed a newspaper aside. Twilight, Raze and Spike have been trying to find a job for Raze in the library. Raze is really a colt they wouldn’t expect; a picky one just like Rarity.
“Hey, some of these jobs don’t even fit me alright?! Like example…baking! Do you remember what happened to SugarCube Corner? I nearly burnt that place into ashes!” Raze replied.
“Ugh…that was in the past, Raze. You’re changed colt!” Spike interrupted.
“But I don’t like baking.” Raze replied.
“Alright, alright…how about…uhm…bucking an apple tree?” Twilight offered.
“Don’t you remember what happen to one of the trees?” Raze denied.
“How about making clothes?”
“I wouldn’t WANT to be Rarity next fashion inspiration.”
“Animal caretaking?”
“Sounds good, but I don’t think Discord welcome me.”
“The Wonderbolts?”
“I am an alicorn.”
“Mail delivery?”
“Derpy already did a good job.”
“Ugh…why is this so hard?!” Twilight finally gave up.
“I don’t know, maybe all of that is not suitable for me.” Raze replied.
“No, you’re just picky.” Spike pouted.
“I’m not picky!” Raze replied.
Both Sparkle Siblings raised their left eye brow in unison.
Raze blow a raspberries, “Alright, I am picky but I just want something that I like to do alright?”
“What you really like to do?” Spike asked.
“Hmm…talking but I don’t like being a reporter, nu uh.” Raze straight up being honest.
“What other job can you have other than being a reporter?” Spike replied.
“I don’t know but I guess we should do more research.” Raze replied.
“Ugh.” Twilight and Spike groaned and slammed their head on the table in unison. Suddenly, Starlight entered the room and greeted, “Hey everyone! So…how’s the job finding going?”
“Really bad.” Raze replied.
“Yeah, because you’re very picky, dude.” Spike replied.
“Yeah, yeah, yadda, yadda.” Raze replied.
“Oh that’s must be hard. *chuckles* I’m lucky I already had a job.” Starlight replied. She continued, “Speaking of job, the school needs me right now. I have an announcement to the students.” Starlight said. Suddenly Twilight gained an idea.
“Starlight, wait!” Twilight called the school principal.
Starlight turned around and replied, “What?”
“How about you gave a chance for him to be a teacher?” Twilight grinned in excitement.
“Hey, that’s not a bad idea! What about you Starlight?” Spike added.
Starlight widened her eyes in disbelief, but she doesn’t want to disappoint her mentor so she replies nervously, “S-Sure, why not?”
Twilight and Spike smiled in excitement as their idea were accepted. But in Starlight thought, she hopes this idea wouldn’t take a bad turn.
In the School of Friendship, Starlight, Twilight and Spike are giving Raze a tour around the school.
“In this school, we don’t just teach about simple anatomy of harmony, we also teach about friendship and the lessons.” Starlight explained.
“Ooh, what a unique school! I bet this is the only school where they teach about friendship.” Raze replied.
“Well, it is. But…other than those, we also teach basic subject like math!” Twilight replied.
“Hey, maybe it’s not bad teaching a class after all…” Raze replied.
“Yeah, but I have to see the way you teaching first.” Starlight replied.
“Yeah, I’ll give it a try…” Raze replied.
Twilight grinned, “Good, your job problem have been settled! Now, have good day!” said Twilight before leaving with Spike following her.
However, deep down on Raze thought, he’s very nervous about this teaching thing.
“Before you teach the students, I hope you can learn by our teachers that have experience in this school.” Starlight said before showing one part of the class where Octavia is teaching her student music. In the class, the Young 6, Ocellus (playing a violin), Gallus (playing a saxophone), Silverstream (playing a trumpet), Sandbar (paying a clarinet), Yona (playing a yovidaphone) and Smolder (playing a flute) are playing instrument in harmony with Octavia who plays a cello.
“Wow, they’re very good. Your educators here are very professional.” Raze praised.
“Oh it’s nothing. They teach them in their own perspective way! And of course, as long it’s not breaking the school rules.” Starlight replied in humble.
“Do you also teach classes?” Raze asks towards Starlight.
“Yeah, sometimes, mostly I like to teach about magic and stuff, y’ know? *nervous chuckles*” Starlight replied.
“Oh, magic…you mean the elements of harmony right?” Raze replied.
“Yeah, something like that!” Starlight replied. She suddenly gets an idea, “Hey, how about I introduce you to the students?”
Raze eyes widened; he replied nervously, “H-Hey, we don’t need to be that quick to introduce me alright? I haven’t-”
“Oh come on, don’t be that shy. Let me introduce you before you teach tomorrow!” Starlight said before pulls Raze into the classroom.
As Starlight and Raze entered the room, Octavia gave a sign to stop playing the instruments. As everyone stopped, their eyes locked into one alicorn that Starlight brought. Raze can feel a very menacing stares coming from the Young 6 even more from Smolder and Gallus.
“Hello, everycreatures! I’m sorry to interrupt but I have an announcement!” Starlight said.
No one talks. It’s just a pure silence filled with menacing atmosphere. Everyone in the room (except Octavia) stared Raze deeply like they’re trying to choke that poor alicorn to death.
Starlight realizing the situation immediately taking up an action, “*deep cough*”
That cough worn off their attention and look towards the principal. Still, some of them stared Raze with side eyes when there’s a slight chance to do it.
“Today I want you all know our new teacher.” Starlight explained.
“Wait…we’re getting a new teacher?” Ocellus widens her eyes.
“Yes, and he’s right in front of you right now!” Starlight replied in excitement.
“WHAT?!” the whole class shouted including Octavia.
“Pardon, I know this sounds weird but…you’re saying THAT colt is going to be the new teacher?” Octavia asks in disbelief.
“Yes, but he will start teaching tomorrow as a theory teacher.” Starlight replied.
“I don’t want to interrupt but why it must be him?” Smolder interrupted.
“He says he love to partake as one of the professors in the school.” Starlight replied.
“Wait I don’t-”
“And for now, he will learn the school layout for today, you can continue the lesson bye, bye!” Starlight said before pulling Raze with her leaving Octavia to continue her class. After both pony leave, the school bell rang.
“Alright class, that’s for today’s lesson.” Octavia said before they leave the class.
Raze are walking next to Starlight while he grunted, “Why did you pull me like that?! I didn’t even able to finish my sentence yet!”
“Don’t you see how the students look at you? They stared you like they want to choke you to death!” Starlight replied in anger.
“I know but I never say I love teaching!” Raze replied.
“Ugh…don’t you understand what a white lie is?” Starlight replied to her annoyance.
“Is it a lie that had something to do with a color white?” Raze answered.
Starlight slapped her face in annoyance and replied, “You have to be kidding me.”
Raze just scratches his back mane in confusion.
“You know what? How about you go back to the castle and come here tomorrow? I’ll show you where’s the room you will teach them about theory, anatomy or anything that have something to do with friendship.” Starlight replied, touching his shoulder with concern.
“*sigh* Alright, Starlight. But first, why don’t you show me around the school first? If I don’t know the whole layout I might end up teaching them in the school garden.”
Both mare and stallion laugh after Raze cracked a joke to lighten up the mood.
“Alright, Raze. Come on, let’s finish the tour and you can prepare what to teach them tomorrow.” Starlight replied.
Both Starlight and Raze walks together while Starlight gives that alicorn a tour around the school. Little did they know, the Young 6 had been spying on them from the school corner.
“Ugh…I don’t understand how our principal could forgive him just like that.” Smolder said before blowing a smoke from her nose.
“Yeah, he gave her a bleeding wound! How does she able to accept him into the school just like that?!” Ocellus continued.
“Huh…something is fishy about that guy.” Gallus replied.
“Yeah, Yona feel white pony have something planned under his sleeve.” Yona agrees with Gallus statement.
“But we don’t even have any evidence! What if he is actually reformed?” Silverstream disagrees.
“Yeah, we don’t want to get ourselves into trouble. But we don’t want that guy do something if he had something planned.” Sandbar said, didn’t want to conclude everything yet.
“What we’re gonna do? Ask him if he had something planned?” Smolder replied.
“Nope. We’re gonna spy on him.” Sandbar replied.
“Ooh, ooh, I know! Like Cramps Bone!” Silverstream said in excitement.
“Yeah, but it’s in our own style of spying.” Sandbar said in a cool tone.
It was night in PonyVille. In the castle of Friendship, Raze is reading his own log, trying to see the best topic to teach on his first day as a teacher at the school.
“Should I teach them about Tirek’s ability? No, that’s must be boring.” Raze said while flipping through pages.
“How about I teach them about Changeling’s unique anatomy? That will bring fun!” Raze grinned. But he stop grinned, “No, no, it might hurt the Changeling kind feeling.”
He kept searching through the log that he had write, hoping there might be something that he could teach for tomorrow.
“Ugh…if it’s going like this, tomorrow will be hard for me to do it.” Raze said. Suddenly, he heard a few gasps coming from the balcony.
“Huh?” Raze looked outside. He walks up to the balcony to see if there’s anyone outside, spying on him. He looks around and muttered, “Hmm…that’s odd…I thought I heard multiple people gasping.”
Raze starts flying around the castle looking for anyone that hiding around. He then saw a silhouette disappears behind Trixie’s carriage.
“Hey!” Raze immediately go towards the carriage, trying to catch the creature. But when he arrived, no one is around. He knocked the magician carriage door, “Hey, Trixie, can I talk with you for a second?”
Silence for a few minutes. Suddenly, from the outside, he can heard the magician mumbling in her sleep, “There’s no such thing as a second in autographs…I will write for you…right away! *snores*”
Seeing that situation, Raze immediately shouted, “TRIXIE, WAKE UP!” causing Trixie to wake from her sleep, accidentally causing some fireworks to trigger in the carriage.
“Oops…I…didn’t want THAT happened.” Raze gritted his teeth. He walks up to the window and knocked, “You alright?!”
The carriage window opened and Trixie popped her head out of her small carriage and coughed a little bit, “Ugh…what possibly you want from Trixie when she’s having her Great and Powerfultm sleep?”
“Have you seen anyone that linger around your carriage?” Raze asks.
“Do I look like someone who can see someone when I’m asleep?” Trixie replied.
“Oh…that makes sense.” Raze replied.
Suddenly, noises come from his room. Both mare and colt look towards Raze’s balcony.
“Someone is in my room. I gotta check that, sorry for disturbing.” Raze said before fly off to the castle.
Trixie blows raspberries, “Typical reformed villian. Always feeling someone is watching them in the dark, afraid of getting attacked.”
Suddenly, a small bush next to her carriage moving slightly, she startled and shouted in fear, “Who’s there?! I know a magic!”
The small bush starts to move faster. Trixie immediately gets inside and closed her carriage window shut. After Trixie hide away, one alligator come out of the bush and starts licking his eyes.
Raze entered him through the balcony. Nothing really changed except for his bag that were left opened and his log book which left on the floor.
“Someone was here.” Raze walked around, trying to see if there’s anyone hiding. He inspected every corner of the room, there’s nothing that trying to avoid him. As he walks around the room, six different eyes is peeking him from above. Each of them are wearing a ninja suit with different colour
“I told you this was a bad idea!” whisper Smolder, who wears a red ninja suit.
“Hey, at least doesn’t see us yet alright?” Sandbar whispers back, wearing a green suit.
The Young 6 is hiding on the top right corner of the room where there is a small part of the corner where they stand and leaning back against the wall.
“Ugh, why do we need to lean too? We can fly, dude.” Gallus whispers.
“Yeah, why don’t we just fly?” Silverstream agrees.
“Hey, our wing flaps together is strong enough to drag his attention. We’re here to get information, not getting caught.” Ocellus replied in whisper.
While the Young 6 still hiding on the top corner, Raze in the room still searching for the intruder, not knowing there’s more than one culprit.
“Why someone wants to enter my room?” Raze muttered. He continued, “Meh, maybe I’m just overthinking.”
Suddenly, a strong wind came inside the room blowing Raze’s mane.
“Alright, that’s cold. Let’s shut this door.” Raze said before shutting the balcony door.
“No!” Smolder pouted. The other immediately makes shush sign, reminding Smolder to shut up.
Raze immediately look around. He muttered, “Did someone…say no?”
The Young 6 starts to break a sweat, worried they’re getting caught. Luckily, Raze stomach starts to grumble.
“Oof, I thing I might have been spending too much time on those teaching thing. I think I deserve a lunch time, to the kitchen!” Raze said before departed to the castle kitchen. The Young 6 immediately gets off the top corner and landed gracefully.
“You nearly get us caught!” Sandbar said in anger towards Smolder.
“I know…but he closed the balcony! How we’re supposed to get out if this door is closed!” Smolder replied.
“Oh come on, we’re inside the room. We’re not locked out.” Sandbar replied. He walks up to the door and tried to open the door. Suddenly, his calm expression changed into worried when the door won’t open.
“What? H-How’s that possible?” Sandbar said. That makes everyone except Smolder to help Sandbar to pull the door. They immediately shocked when the door won’t open.
“What? Why this door doesn’t want to budge?” Silverstream said in fear.
Yona backed off then prepared to ram and reminded, “Get aside! Yona will smash this door!”
“Don’t do it! You will make a loud noise!” Gallus replied in disagreement. Yona realize what Gallus says was right.
“I told you before.” Smolder interrupted.
“How do you know this door won’t open from the inside?!” Sandbar looks toward Smolder in confusion.
“One day when I was spending time with Spike, we entered this room. The door was closed so we try to open it but it won’t budge. But when we push it from the outside it was able to open.” Smolder explained.
Ocellus put her hooves under her chin, “So, our only way out is through…” Ocellus gasped, “the front door castle?!”
“I think we’re screwed.” Gallus added.
“I don’t think so. As long as we don’t get detected by anyone in the castle, I guess we’re alright.” Smolder replied.
Sandbar then said, “Come on, we have to get out before-”
“That strawberry cake was delicious!” Raze voice coming from the outside.
They all start to panic.
“Where do we hide?” Ocellus asked in fear.
“Everyone, hide in the best spot!” Sandbar replied.
As Raze opened the room door, he walked inside, “Dang, not gonna lie, night cold strawberry cake was delicious!” He took a seat on his desk. He continued to stroll through his log book. He flips through pages and pages of topic but none of them make him interested.
“None of this was suitable.” Raze lean back against the chair. Suddenly, he gets an idea, “Hey, how about Gusty the Great diary?”
He lifted an old looking diary from his bag and start flipping through pages. Finally, he stops at one page with the title; Emotions and its Mystery.
“This is perfect. Tomorrow, it will be a great time to do this.” Raze said in excitement. He takes out a scroll and start writing the flow of tomorrow first theory class.
“Alright, tomorrow will be splendid. I just hope it won’t mess up.” Raze said. Suddenly, he felt sleepy and lets out a yawn, “Dang, I have been spending so much time and effort tonight. I deserve a well nap.”
He walks up to the bed, suddenly, something falls off. He turns around to see a book fall from the bookshelf.
He walks up and picked the book up. He inspected the book and whispered, “How do you fall from the shelf little buddy?”
He walks up to the shelf and put the book on it. He turns around and looked towards the bed. He can hear the bed had been calling Raze for a while now. He grinned and ran towards the bed and jump on it. He wrapped himself with the blanket and wriggle like a toddler. Without knowing, Sandbar was lying next to him but because Raze covered him whole body including the face, Raze didn’t realize that Sandbar was next to him. Seeing that chance, Sandbar immediately hides under the bed.
“What are you doing here? This is my hiding spot, go find another!” Gallus says. He had been hiding under the bed for a few while. Sandbar gets out of the bed and run towards the huge brown beanbag that sit next to Raze’s desk. But when he hides behind the beanbag, it moved away from Sandbar. When he looks towards the bag, it was Yona who have been disguising as a beanbag.
“Don’t hide behind Yona! Go find somewhere more hidden!” Yona said. Sandbar panicked and ran towards one of the sofa in the room and hide behind it. Suddenly, the sofa popped out a dark cyan eyes - it was Ocellus.
“Don’t hide here! Find somewhere else!” Ocellus whispered. Sandbar looked around. He immediately hides behind the bookshelf. As he hides, one dinger tapped his shoulder. He turned to the right, Smolder was standing on Silverstream’s shoulder while behind the bookshelf with her.
“Find somewhere else! I and Silverstream occupy this place!” Smolder whispered in worries.
Sandbar got kicked out from the shelf by Smolder and accidentally muttered, “Ouch!”
Raze wakes up from the bed and saw Sandbar sitting next to his bookshelf.
“Huh? Urm…hey kid, what are you doing here? Plus, it was midnight, how do you even end up in here?” Raze said before get off the bed and walk towards the green young colt.
“Urm…uhh…” he looks around and see his friends that still hiding in their spot.
“…urm, are you lost?” Raze asked.
“Y-Yeah, I’m lost.” Sandbar lied.
“How you can end up in my room?” Raze asks calmly while giving a warm smile.
“W-Well…I-I…” Sandbar is out of ideas.
Raze’s smile suddenly fades away. He sighed and look towards Sandbar in disappointment, “Let me guess…you’re here to see if I had some plan on your school right?”
Sandbar’s eyes widened. He looked down and reply in stutters, “W-Well…” Sandbar look back onto Raze’s face, “*sigh* yes, I did want to see if you had a secret plan for our school.”
Raze smiled again, “*chuckles* Of course you are! After all…why it’s not?” He walk towards his desk and touched the top desk. Silence fell within both of them for a few minutes.
“*sigh* I know why kid. I understand why you try to investigate but can’t you do that earlier? It’s dangerous at night.” Raze continued.
“Why…?” Sandbar asks in confusion.
“I care about you? Kid, everyone deserves to live with a happy life. Don’t worry, I won’t tell the principal. You can go. Get out, take a left turn, straight and right, you will found a stair that leads to downstairs. It’s also leads directly towards the main door.” Raze replied before getting back to bed. Sandbar stood in silence. Raze walks up to the bed and lie on it. He continued, “If you don’t want to see me tomorrow at school it’s alright, you can skip my class, kid. I don’t know if your friends are here but I don’t think they want to see me either.”
Sandbar walks up to the door. He took one last look on Raze who had sleep on the opposite direction, hiding his face. Sandbar sighed and leave Raze’s bedroom. After he closed the door on his back, he was surprised by his friends who stand in front of him.
“Sweet Celestia, you guys shocked me!” Sandbar said in anger. He continued by asking a question, “How do you guys even get out with him noticing?”
“We’re ninja! At least for a few second but we act fast you know? It’s really, really fun!” Silverstream replied in excitement.
Smolder just rolled her eyes.
“Anyway, how’s the talk?” Smolder interrupted.
“Its…pretty well. H-He told me that…if we don’t want to go to his class, we are allowed to skip it.” Sandbar replied.
“Yeah!” they celebrated in whispers. However, Sandbar doesn’t seem too happy about it. His friends were concerned by his expression.
“Hey, are you alright?” Ocellus asks in worries.
“I feel bad for him.” Sandbar said in a guilty tone.
“You feel bad for the guy who wounded our principal?!” Smolder said in anger.
“But when he saw me, he didn’t even try to report me to Starlight.” Sandbar replied.
“Hey, that’s how Cozy Glow took over the school. Acting all innocent, then, BOOM! They have the school.” Smolder replied.
Ocellus felt something is wrong, “I don’t think that’s-”
“Alright, what are we waiting here? We should get back to our dorms. I hope vice-principal Sunburst didn’t lock the school door yet.” Gallus interrupted.
“I think you’re right, come on!” Smolder said before starts jogs ahead then their friends. Everyone starts to follow Smolder. Sandbar is the one on the furthest back. He still felt guilty about Raze. In that guilt, he had decided. Tomorrow, he will attend Raze’s class even though his friends wouldn’t like that.
Next day arrived. Raze is waiting on the main lobby of the school, waiting for Starlight to arrive.
“Where is this mare? Am I going to wait here until the school ends?” Raze muttered.
After a long waits, Starlight can be seen running in exhaustion towards Raze. As she stops, she took a few breaths.
“Wow, hold on there, partner. You look exhausted, what happen?” Raze asked in concern.
“Sorry, I overslept. Now let me show you where you’re going to teach.” Starlight said before leading Raze towards his place. On their way, they have a little bit chat, either its funny or teasing.
“*chuckles* so I told him, ‘If I can’t have this thing neither of us can!’ Then, we start arguing over a stupid sardine can.” Raze explained.
“*laugh* oh man, that was a good story!” Starlight replied. She continued and touched the door, “We arrived!”
Raze look towards the door in confusion, “Really? In this room? Why can’t we use a basic classroom?” he asks.
“Good question, you can teach more than 15 students in here so I could see how many students are interested in your lecture!” Starlight replied. She opened confidently, “And there will be…!”
As the door opened, it reveals only six creatures - a young colt with turtle cutie mark, a changeling, a griffon, a hippogriff, a yak and a dragon. They arrived in the room earlier than Raze. It just silences. A real, pure, silence. No one talk or single heavy breath came out.
“Well not as I expected…but at least you…got six students attending your class?” Starlight grinned nervously.
“Well…at least there’s someone.” Raze gave her a sad smile. He continued, “Don’t worry, I don’t feel touched by this scenery. Sometimes you have to start from the smallest, you know?”
Starlight gave him a sad smile and replied, “Alright, but next time, I’ll make sure that your class will be a must-”
“No, no need. I don’t think I need it.” Raze replied.
“A-Are you sure?” Starlight replied.
“Yeah, but if I need something I’ll meet you in the castle alright?” Raze replied.
“*sigh* alright. See you later…I guess?” Starlight said before leaving him with the Young 6. She took one last glance and let out a big sigh before leaving Raze with them. Raze turned around after Starlight leave to see the Young 6 have been watching him for a while. It was an awkward atmosphere. However, Raze didn’t care and walks up to the stage of the room. As he stands, he looked towards the Young 6 with a poker face. Another silence occurred.
Finally, Smolder decided to speak up, “So…are we going to learn or…?”
“Of course we are! But first, I want you to know your name first alright?” Raze replied. He continued, “But to be quick tell me your name when I point you ready?”
Raze immediately Smolder who is on the far left. Smolder replied, “The name’s Smolder.”
He pointed Gallus, “Gallus the Griffon.”
He pointed towards Yona, “Yona and Yona love smashing things!”
He pointed towards Sandbar, “Uh, my name is Sandbar.”
He pointed towards Silverstream, “Silverstream!”
When he about to point Ocellus, she already speak, “Ocellus.”
Raze clapped his hoof once, “Alright, today, I’m getting to tell you about one of Gusty the Great research; The Myth of-”
“…The Fifth Harmony.” Smolder interrupted.
“Huh…seems you already know about it. Can you tell me what you know?” Raze asks.
“Basically, legend says there’s a fifth Princess of Harmony, but no one knows it. He wield the power that not even the princess of love, sun and moon can do it. The thing is, the fifth princess was never ever to be discovered. The only thing about the princess is her special ability that was never known.” Smolder explained.
“So you didn’t enter my room alone.” Raze said looking towards Sandbar.
“What…? H-How you think I can bring my friends?” Sandbar asks nervously.
Raze lets out a sigh and pointed towards Smolder. That causes the dragon to widen her eyes and replied, “H-Hey, anyone can knows about the story alright?! I read it before-”
“I’m not stupid. If there’s the same book in the library, I bet Twilight 100% would take that book and analyze it’s all by herself. I have information about her you know? Don’t think I don’t have about you kids too.”
“W-Well…how you can prove it?” Smolder stuttered as she was afraid their plan is exposed.
“Stutters…angry when accused…and obviously,” Raze pointed towards her friends. She looks to her right - they’re starts to break sweats.
“*sigh* alright, we did but that’s doesn’t mean you have a proof!” Smolder replied.
“Do you think I didn’t hear what you kids talking outside my bedroom? You kids are louder than a Tank’s propeller.” Raze replied.
They immediately had their eyes widened. Ocellus interrupted, “Y-You hear everything?”
Raze sighed, he turned around and start drawing on the board while speaking without looking at them, “Creatures are easy to predict. The way they act, the way they react and their behavior. I have more experience living than what you think and I have been through a lot more than what you can think of.” He stops drawing. He turned around to see the Young 6 is looking at them, having their eyes widened.
“*sigh* I bet you kids are scared.” Raze said calmly.
“W-What? No we don’t!” Smolder replied
“*chuckles* Hey, you’re talking with a pony with experience of looking into creatures emotion. I know you are afraid of me.” Raze replied. He sighed and continued drawing, he continue talking, “I will not hurt you. You six are my only students. How I’m going to teach if I do that?”
“So you really had intention huh?” Sandbar replied.
He turned around with a threatening smile, “Yeah…”
Each of them immediately gets into their battle stance. Suddenly, Raze threatening smiles turn into a warm smile with a replies, “…to share what I have been discovering in my past lives!”
They immediately lower their stance because of that unexpected reply.
However, that didn’t lower their suspicion, Smolder immediately replied, “Alright, that’s enough pretending, show your trueselves!”
Raze turned around, “*sigh* I guess you don’t want to learn huh?”
“We don’t want to learn from someone who hurt our principal!” Gallus replied.
“G-Guys!” Sandbar interrupted. However, they didn’t listen.
“Yona don’t like white ponies! White ponies hurt principal ponies!” Yona added.
“Urm, Sandbar…? Aren’t this…a bit too much?” Ocellus whispers towards the young colt. The hippogriff that sits next to him also look towards Sandbar in worries.
“Yes I know we don’t like him but-”
“The only last thing I want to see is your face out of this school!” Smolder shouted.
Everyone gasped except Raze. Raze in the other hand, just stared with his poker face. He smiled and replied calmly, “Welp, I hope you’re feeling better. Now, sit down and I’m going to explain to you.” He turned around and kept drawing. Slowly, Smolder sit back and lets out a strong exhale. Suddenly, she felt guilty. However, as Raze turned around and start explaining she immediately distracted.
“Alright, without wasting time, today you’re going to learn about this the Theory of Harmony Vol. 1. In this study, I want to teach you one of the greatest theories of all time; Alicorn Ascension Theory.”
Ocellus raised her hoof, “Urm, what is that exactly? Princess Twilight never thought us about it before.”
“That’s why I’m here. The Alicorn Ascension is…”
A long explanation of Raze did bring them those bored vibes. However, the longer he explains the intense it gets and slowly making them excited. Each theory Raze gave make them even more curious then before.
“So…you’re saying that the Ascension only occurred…when they’re in desperate moment?” Ocellus asks.
“Nope, they can do it anytime. However, if they use this ability overtime, it might able to paralyze the user or even worse…kill them.” Raze replied.
A few oohs can be heard.
“But you know what you can do in desperate moments?” Raze asks while smirking towards Ocellus.
“What?” Ocellus asks.
Suddenly, Raze teleports in front of Ocellus instantly and scaring her, causes her to fall to her back. The other just laugh watching that occurred.
“*laugh* sorry, kid. I just try to lighten the serious atmosphere.” Raze lend a hand, which was calmly accepted by Ocellus. Raze teleports back to the stage. He continued, “Alright, it’s time for you to write down these notes.” Raze turned around and starts writing. The Young 6 immediately wrote down what he writes on the chalk board. When they were occupied with writing down the notes, Raze is writing on the boards slowly bursting a tear without them knowing. He lifted the tear drops with magic so the Young 6 didn’t know he was crying. However, he can’t hide it when Yona saw him accidentally drop one of his tear.
“Did white pony cry?” Yona said with concern.
Raze eyes widened and nervously replied, “Oh, n-no…i-it’s just a dust entering my eyes. *chuckles*” he turned around while hiding the tears he dropped.
When the other looked at him, Sandbar saw he’s hiding something behind him.
“I-Is that tears?” Sandbar asked.
“No it’s not.” Raze denied.
“Urm…I think its tears.” Ocellus replied.
“Professor Raze, are you crying?” Silverstream asks again.
“Why are you crying?” Gallus added.
“Did someone blow a smoke inside your eyes?” Smolder asked.
Raze sighed and walked to one of the windows. He stared outside for a while. The Young 6 starts to get concerned. Sandbar from the far right sight whispered to Smolder, “It’s your entire fault!”
That causes Smolder to look towards the floor. She just remembered what she just said towards earlier.
“*sigh* sometimes, not everyone agrees on second chance. Sometimes, not even the villain himself accepts a second chance. However, I do believe in second chance. But when you’re given the chance, use it wisely. Not everytime you get a second chance.” Raze suddenly became emotional. He continued, “Speaking of second chance, I think this might be the first and the last time I’ll be here.”
“WHAT?!” The Young 6 shouts in unison.
Raze turned around, “Before you ask, no, it’s not because of Smolder.”
Smolder lets out a sigh of relieve.
“However, I’m afraid the students of this school won’t accept me. I think I should find another job.” Raze continued.
“No!” Sandbar shouted. Everyone look towards the young colt. He continued, “I-I…*sigh* we’re sorry for disturbing your privacy. We just don’t trust you since you hurt the princesses and our principal.”
“Yeah, we kinda paranoid when we heard Principal Starlight are hiring you as a teacher.” Ocellus continued.
“I’m also wanted to say sorry because shouting at you earlier. I shouldn’t treat you like that even though you’re reformed.” Smolder scratched his back scales in guilt.
Raze just gave them a warm smile and replied,
“Don’t worry, everyone make mistakes, the only way of success is if you learn from it.”
The Young 6 smiled in excitement. Suddenly, they felt a strong surge of hope and determination going through them.
“W-What are these feelings?” Ocellus asked.
“Y-Yeah…It feels like…its feel like I want to be happy…forever!” Silverstream shouted in happiness.
“A-Are you the one who doing this, Professor Raze?” Sandbar asked.
“Do what?” Raze still smile.
“I-I don’t know…it felt like we’re so happy that…I can’t even express it!” Sandbar replied.
Raze laughed, “You kids always hyperactive and starts hallucinating when tired.”
“B-But-”
“Shh…you don’t have to say anything. Now, if I may excuse, our class has ended. I want to meet Starlight.” Raze replied before walking towards the door. When he’s about to leave, The Young 6 immediately called him,
“Professor Raze!”
It caused Raze to turn his head around. When he looked towards them, they gave him a friendly smile and shouted, “Keep teaching us please!”
Raze just smiled and softly replied, “Alright then.” before leaving the calls towards the castle of Friendship.
After Raze left, Sandbar look towards Ocellus, “Do you think our professor is…?”
“A prince? Nah, it would be strange. Plus, he’s chill!” Smolder interrupted.
“Hmmm…” Sandbar somehow thinks it’s the opposite.
“Hey, come on, guys! The lunch is on me!” Silverstream shouts in excitement.
“Yeah!” the other shouted.
They leave the room, completely forgotten what just happened in there.
As the night arrives, Raze and Starlight we’re having a dinner in the kitchen together.
“So…how’s you first class?” Starlight asks.
“Pretty good.” Raze replied calmly.
“So…have you decided?” Starlight asks while chewing down her salad.
“Yes.” Raze replied.
“What you decide then?” She looks towards Raze in excitement.
“I want that theory class as a secret class that can be attended by certain students that I want.” Raze replied.
That make Starlight to froze, she immediately asked, “Why?”
“It’s because there’s only six students that are worthy for me to teach them.” Raze replied calmly.
“Alright then…” Starlight replied. She keeps chewing leaving on a few silences.
Suddenly, Starlight asks him a weird question, “So…are you very easy to be jumpscared?”
“What? Why you ask that?” Raze replied.
Starlight replied, “Well, I just wanna know because I’m also easy to be scared.”
“Well…it depends. But if you’re trying to scare out of me, I don’t think you can.” Raze had his ego high up.
“We’ll see later, on Nightmare Night.” Starlight says before let out slight chuckles.
Somewhere in library, there’s an opened scroll showing some tournaments. The name and group were listed -Twilight and Spike, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Starlight and Trixie, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Sunset. On the top board, it was titled:-
The Scare-Fest.

I think this is slowly getting worse. My story is getting bad. To be honest, I try to make this story nearly as same as the MLP story but with a little of my own batter y'know what I mean? but Still, I will try my best to create a wonderful story and a wonderful character development. But for now, enjoy the chapter, friend!
