‎Location: Abandoned Storage Closet – West Wing

‎‎Unseen by staff and students alike, a faint glow pulsed from beneath the cracked wooden door. Inside, dust floated in the air like lazy spirits… and at the center of it all stood Zephyr’s old broom.

‎‎The one he accidentally infused with divine-grade purification magic during a routine cleanup.

‎‎It now hovered slightly above the ground.

‎And it was vibrating.

‎‎Beside it, an old mop clattered upright.

‎Then a plunger.

‎Then… a duster.

‎‎One by one, the cleaning tools in the closet began to twitch, align, and surround the broom like loyal knights around their sovereign.

‎‎The air shimmered.

‎‎"FOR THE ONE TRUE SWEEPER!" the broom squeaked in ancient magic tongue.

‎Location: Academy Cafeteria – Noon

‎‎Zephyr sat between Selena, Rosalia, and Drakynia. Across the table, Arwen quietly ate her lunch while pretending not to stare at him every five seconds.

‎‎Zephyr munched his sandwich peacefully.

‎‎“So,” Selena said, tapping her stylus against her datapad, “you left behind an enchanted cleaning tool in the West Wing?”

‎‎“I thought it deactivated,” Zephyr replied calmly.

‎‎Rosalia gasped. “A relic left unchecked… could gain will!”

‎‎“That’s ridiculous,” Arwen muttered.

‎‎Just then, alarms blared through the school.

‎‎“ATTENTION,” boomed the intercom. “ANOMALOUS ENTITY DETECTED NEAR SECTOR 3B. ALL STAFF REPORT—”

‎‎Selena stood. “Don’t tell me…”

‎‎Zephyr finished his sandwich. “I’ll get my backup mop.”

‎Location: Sector 3B – West Wing

‎‎The hallway was filled with… suds.

‎‎Explosive sparkly soap bubbles floated like sentient jellyfish. The walls gleamed with unnatural polish.

‎‎A platoon of enchanted cleaning tools stood in formation. Brooms. Mops. Sponges.

‎At their center stood Zephyr’s old broom… now wearing a paper crown with glitter stickers.

‎‎“THE MOPARCHY RISES! LET NO FLOOR REMAIN UNCLEAN!”

‎‎Zephyr arrived.

‎‎The mop army froze.

‎‎Their “king” turned.

‎‎"He has returned," it squeaked reverently.

‎‎Selena blinked. “They… worship you.”

‎‎Rosalia fell to one knee. “The tools of cleanliness have heard the call!”

‎‎Drakynia muttered, “If one more inanimate object falls in love with him, I’m quitting school.”

‎Later That Day – Headmaster’s Office

‎‎Headmaster Greaves was massaging his temples. “So let me get this straight… Your broom started a rebellion.”

‎‎Zephyr nodded.

‎‎“And the rebellion was against…?”

‎‎“Untidiness,” Zephyr replied.

‎‎Greaves sighed. “You're promoted. Again.”
