Lysithea woke up to a nagging pain in her neck. She groaned and rubbed at the sore spot. The only time she felt this was when she slept on her pillow wrong. However, when she opened her eyes, she quickly picked up that something was wrong.
Her entire body was cramped inside the dorm.
“Wh-what the!?” She yelped, realizing that she was trapped in her own bedroom. Her head was up against her wall, and she was crunched up in a fetal position, taking up nearly every inch of the room. “S-someone help!”
She kicked at the walls to her side, not caring if she woke up her dorm neighbors. She lived on the first floor, and all she needed to do was to get out of the door, and she would be in the open air area between the dining hall and the greenhouse. The last thing she wanted was to have another growth spurt and tear down the dorm building. Or even worse.
Lysithea’s thoughts were shaken away as there was a pounding at her door.
“Lysithea! The sun’s not even out yet!” Leonie yelled, still unaware of her classmate’s sudden affliction.
“What’s going on?” asked a soft spoken voice. Mercedes had just got out of her own room, still dressed in a large sleep robe.
The answer came as the the white haired girl forced her door open, revealing her giant frame taking up almost the entirety of the entrance. “H-help!”
“Oh, dear Goddess,” Leonie gasped. “Wh-what do we do?”
“Get me out of here!”
Leonie nodded. “Right, I’ll go grab help.”
The redhead quickly turned the corner of the dorm and ran up the stairs. She had found the other students of he academy standing around, trying to figure out the source of the earthquake.
“Are we under attack?” Caspar asked excitedly. His expression soured. “The one night Professor Manuela took my sleeping axe.”
Leonie ignored the strange comment. “No, nothing like that, just head to the first floor. We’re gonna need all the manpower we can get.” She ran down the hall, waking up everyone she could and directing them to Lysithea’s room.
When she returned outside, she found a crowd forming as Lysithea was halfway out the door, caught by her hips. Caspar, Raphael, and Claude grappled onto one of her wrists while Dimitri, Dedue, and Edelgard grabbed the other. Everyone was still in there sleepwear, and had the situation not been terrifying, the sight would have been funny to witness.
Leonie decided to join in, heading right towards the door, where Mercedes was trying to help guide the massive body into exiting the gap.
“Gotta say, Lysithea,” Claude began, his tone clearly a set up for a joke. “You should lay off the cakes. It’s going straight to your hips.”
Lysithea groaned. “Make one more joke, and I’m eating you.”
“Alright fine,” Claude said with a laugh. “Just thought you’d be big enough to overlook my jokes.”
The giantess didn’t dignify it with a response.
Leonie noticed that the archway was beginning to crack under he pressure of Lysithea’s body. “Uh, guys.”
“Keep pulling!” Raphael instructed, motivating the others with his guttural yells. “HRAGH”
“I don’t think this wall’s gonna hold,” Leonie continued, drowned out by the others joining Raphael.
“On three. One, two. THREE!”
With a major tug, the wall crumbled, and Lysithea spilled out onto the the small courtyard. The sudden momentum had caused her to bowl over those who helped her free, pinning them under her. She let out a yelp as she felt her classmates squirm under her. She pushed herself up, forcing herself up to her full height and get a look at how tall she was.
She was currently a few feet shorter than the dorm building, yet she still was roughly triple the heights of the other students. Even Dedue, the tallest student at the academy, was still dwarfed by the white haired giantess.
“Um… thanks everyone,” Lysithea said sheepishly, feeling suddenly embarrassed once everyone’s eyes were on her .”S-sorry for waking you all up.”
“What happened?” Claude asked, stashing away his jokes for now.
“Um, magic mishap,” Lysithea admitted, staring down at her feet. The cobblestone was freezing, and she wished she kept her shoes on when she jumped into bed. At the very least, she was still in her uniform and not in her pajamas like the rest of the students. “I’m gonna need some help reading the spell book, so I can change back.”
Mercedes stepped forward. “Annie and I would be glad to help.”
“Th-thanks,” she looked back to her room, finding it practically destroyed. In fact, the first floor was practically gone as the wall took out Mercedes and Leonie’s room. “The spell book should be in my room… somewhere. Sorry for destroying your rooms.”
“No worries,” Mercedes said sweetly. “I’ll just bunk with Annie.”
Leonie bit her tongue. She wasn’t taking the loss of her dorm as lightly. Though, maybe she could room with Jeralt until they fixed her room.
