The sun rose over Anemo School, casting a peaceful golden glow across the courtyards…
Which was shattered instantly by a voice yelling:
"WHO STOLE MY SHORTS?!"
It was Wanderer. Again.
He stood in the dorm hallway in a giant towel, holding up a pair of socks, glaring at Xiao.
"I know it was you, bat-boy."
Xiao, sitting cross-legged and sipping tea, replied flatly, "I would rather wear poison ivy than your crusty gym shorts."
Meanwhile, Heizou and Kazuha were in a corner trying to dry glitter out of their uniforms with an Anemo-powered hair dryer.
It exploded in Kazuha's hand.
"Peaceful morning," Kazuha smiled with soot on his cheek.

First Period: Math with Jean
Jean was already annoyed. A Halloween spider was still stuck to her hat and nobody told her.
"Today we'll be calculating wind velocity—"
Venti floated in upside down through the window.
"Miss Jean! I have an idea for a new school anthem called 'Whoops, I Flew into a Wall'!"
Jean: deep sigh.
At the back, Xiao and Wanderer were passing notes.
Heizou peeked over and whispered, "Are you confessing love or plotting to destroy each other again?"
Xiao passed the note to Wanderer:
"Math is pain. Let's fake a tornado."
Wanderer:
"On it."
Sucrose blinked. "Wait—don't you dare—"
FWOOOSH!
They activated a double Anemo swirl under the desks.
Papers flew. Hair whipped around. Jean's chalk broke in half. Kazuha's poem notebook went flying into the fan. Venti got slammed into a whiteboard.
"AAAAAAAAAAA!"
Jean: slowly stands up, face twitching
"Detention. All of you. Now.*"

Second Period: Gliding Class with Chasca
Today's lesson was called "Flight or Faceplant."
The students stood on the roof. Sayu was already napping in a glider hammock.
Chasca tossed a wind crystal. "Who can glide through the moving hoops, dodge the paint blasters, and land in the kiddie pool?"
Heizou raised a hand. "Define 'kiddie pool.'"
Chasca: "The thing full of banana pudding."
Heizou: "WHY."
First up: Kazuha. He glided gracefully, poetry in motion—until Heizou sneezed and the wind changed direction.
He landed in pudding.
Xiao went next. He sliced through every hoop, flipped midair, and dove perfectly… until he realized Wanderer had replaced the pudding with glue and feathers.
"...I hate you," Xiao whispered, now looking like a cursed chicken.
Wanderer landed with a smirk. "Style points, please."

Lunch Time: The Canteen Calamity
Sucrose had made "Surprise Wind Jelly." Nobody knew what was in it.
Venti was doing karaoke with a ukulele.
Sayu was still asleep.
Jean was yelling at a floating tray.
Suddenly, Lynette ran in:
"THE TOILETS ARE FLOODING!"
Everyone: "WHY?!"
Cut to the boys' restroom.
A note on the wall:
"Xiao + Wanderer Plumbing Test — Success-ish."
Water was spewing from a fan-shaped showerhead they'd installed.
Jean arrived, soaking wet, hair curled like a sheep.
"Who… did… this…"
Everyone pointed at Venti.
"TRAITORS!" Venti screamed, holding up a spoon like a sword.

Afternoon: PE with Ifa
Today's game: Broom Racing Dodgeball.
Each student rode an enchanted broom. If you got hit by a dodgeball, your broom spun out.
Heizou hit three people instantly, cackling like a maniac.
Kazuha just floated calmly… until he got bopped in the nose by a rogue ball and crashed into Sayu's napping cloud.
Sayu: "Why."
Xiao was doing aerial spins and muttering war cries.
Wanderer? Just ramming people.
"THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PLAY!" Sucrose screamed, hanging upside down from a tree.
Venti, still soaked, threw a water balloon instead of a dodgeball.
It hit Jean.
End of PE. Everyone survived. Barely.

Evening: Dorm Shenanigans
Everyone was gathered for the "Post-Halloween Chill Night."
They wore fuzzy pajamas. Xiao had an Anemo plushie. Wanderer was sulking in a corner with cocoa.
Suddenly, the lights flickered.
Kazuha: "It's a ghost."
Heizou: "It's probably just Venti."
Venti popped up with a flashlight under his chin. "BOO!"
THWACK.
Sayu hit him with a pillow.
They all burst into a chaotic pillow war.
Feathers flying. Paint smears from leftover pranks.
Xiao accidentally launched Wanderer into the laundry basket.
Heizou got taped to the ceiling.
Kazuha started reading poetry mid-fight.

Final Note of the Day
As they all fell asleep, lying on beanbags and snoring on the floor...
Jean stood in the hallway, holding her clipboard, muttering, "Why did I take this job..."
Venti crept up beside her with hot cocoa. "Because you love us?"
Jean stared.
"…I'll give you one minute to run."
"WORTH IT!" Venti shouted, flying off laughing as a chalkboard came flying behind him.
