The forest surrounding Night Raven College was calm and quiet, bathed in the soft light of the late afternoon. The air smelled of damp earth and moss as you made your way through the moss and ferns, a basket in your hand.

Walking beside you was Jade Leech, with his usual serene smile and eyes that attentively monitored every detail around. He loved going mushroom foraging with you.

"Today's catch looks promising," he remarked as you carefully tried to pluck a porcini mushroom near the root of a tree.

"Unless you're just trying to lure me deep into the woods and watch me wander," you joked.

"Not at all, today I am truly just a passionate mycophile." He chuckled softly.

You walked for a good few minutes more when you noticed something strange. At the base of a crumbling tree stump, a mushroom was growing that you had never seen before. It had a smooth, glossy cap the color of dark amethyst and pulsed faintly with a weak light.

"Jade... look at this," you whispered, as if you might scare the mushroom away.

"Intriguing. It doesn't match any species I know." He leaned down toward it, a familiar spark of interest flickering in his eyes.

He pulled out a small mushroom atlas and quickly leafed through it. Meanwhile, you felt a chill run down your spine.

"It's not in there, is it?" you said, as if you already knew the answer.

"It isn't," he confirmed calmly, as if it meant nothing. "And that only makes me more curious."

Before you could even draw a breath to protest, Jade plucked the mushroom and raised it to his face.

"Wait!" you exclaimed. "You're not going to taste it, are you?!"

"Purely for scientific purposes, of course." He smiled at you in that enigmatic way of his.

"Are you sure it is a good idea?" you asked worriedly, as he toyed with the mushroom between his fingers.

"Probably not," he replied amusedly, and then ate it without hesitation.

Jade stood there, then shrugged, and, seeing as nothing had happened to him, you continued on your way.

However, you didn't even have time to shout when Jade stumbled. You grabbed his arm just as a strange tremor ran through his body. His skin paled, and delicate veins began to trace paths beneath it. 

His hair subtly became even greener than before, and finally, a mushroom cap formed from it. It even had a black segment that reminded you of his signature strand.

"J-Jade?!" you gasped.

"What... what happened to me?" He looked at his hands and blinked in confusion.

"You... you look like... a living mushroom."

"That sounds like a highly improbable diagnosis." He tilted his head thoughtfully. Neither of you had ever heard of such a thing.

The walk back to school was both terrifying and absurd. Jade walked calmly beside you as if nothing were wrong, while you tried to cover his new appearance with your cloak. Every rustle of the leaves made you jump.

When you arrived at Octavinelle dorm, you immediately headed to Azul's room. As soon as he saw you, he nearly dropped his teacup.

"What happened to you?!"

The explanation didn't take long, and to your surprise, Azul had a suspicion of what it might be.

"According to old records, after consuming the core of a Matango mushroom, a person transforms into one of its forms," Azul explained with a grave expression. "And if they are not rescued in time... they remain that way forever."

Panic seized you, was he really going to end up as a living mushroom? Jade merely offered a faint smile, as if this were just a common cold.

"Don't worry," he told you quietly when you were alone in his room. "We will certainly figure it out."

"You say that far too calmly," you whispered, squeezing his hand. It was surprisingly warm... and softer than before.

You spent almost all your time with him in the following days. You helped him hide his appearance, fetched books from the archive, and monitored every small detail of his transformation to prevent it from worsening. 

Sometimes you caught him experimenting with new abilities on his own, such as subtly changing the color of his 'gills' according to his mood.

One evening, you sat beside him on the bed, exhausted and scared.

"If I lose you..." your voice cracked.

"You won't." Jade leaned toward you gently and smiled weakly. But for the first time, you saw genuine fear in him.

Finally, the solution came from an unexpected direction. Professor Crewel discovered an antidote in the forbidden section of the books. 

It was an extract from a Moon Orchid mixed with a drop of magical essence from Underworld water. The preparation was risky. But what was an excellent alchemist like him incapable of?

You stood by him as Jade drank the silver-glowing potion down to the last drop. The minutes stretched out endlessly. His body glowed again... and then everything fell silent.

When the light faded, he was himself again.

You burst into tears of relief and hugged him without thinking. He froze for a moment, then cautiously but firmly hugged you back.

"Thank you," he whispered into your hair. "For staying with me."

"I would never have left you alone," you replied.

"Then I suppose I was lucky I ate that mushroom." Jade smiled lightly.

"You're incorrigible," you laughed through your tears.

But this time, you knew that even if the world went crazy again... you would never be alone in it.
