Y/n POV

"I see, so that's what the headmaster thinks..." Riddle mumbled.

"Thought so. you guys didn't come to just wish Trey well." Cater said.

"Well, it's a half and a half for me. " I answered with my arms crossed together.

"Actually, I thought something strange was going on so I had Cater start gathering information," Riddle inform us.

"It was obvious petty quick that all the people getting injured were starting candidates for their teams like Riddle and Trey." Cater starts to explain.

"At that time I didn't trip over anything or feel someone push me from behind. But... how should put this. I felt my body move on its own."

"Everyone else was saying something like that!" Grim shouted, as recalled what the student that get injured said.

"I think it's safe to say someone intentionally is targeting magift candidates," Riddle said.

"They're targeting their rivals to up their standing in the magical shift tournament?" Ace asked.

"The whole world will be watching. One's performance in their matches can lead to a career in the future. It's not strange that some will do whatever it takes." Riddle told Ace.

"Hmm. Still, it's weird. You didn't feel any wind magic coming from behind you, right?" Cater asked.

"Yeah, it didn't feel like an attack," Riddle replied.

'It sounds like manipulation magic, someone might be controlling the situation or person. Is there a student in NRC, who know how to manipulate a person's action?' I thought to myself.

"There were some who were injured during class. I really wonder what's going on?

"We will just have to have the culprit spill everything when we catch them. To that end, I will assist you in the search." The mid-length red-haired announced.

"Huh!? You're gonna help? What's your angle? Especially you, Cater!" Grim yelled.

"Grim, don't be rude to your senior classmates." Lucas pulled his ear.

"Wow, rude much. This is what you do when your fellow residents are targeted." Cater replied with a sweatdrop.

"If that's the case, we'll help out too." Ace joins in.

"We gotta get payback for Trey!!" Deuce said with his fist punched into his other hand.

"You guys are all fired up." Riddle and I said in unison.

"Oh, I got it. You're after those open spots on the team?" Cater guessed.

"Hehe, you caught me." Ace chuckled.

"N-no, I'm not! We have to look out for each other!" Deuce stuttered.

"My goodness. I'll take it into consideration depending on your efforts in finding the culprit." Riddles sighed.

"Yeah!" The duo replied.

"Back to what we were talking about, if we're going to catch them we need to anticipate their next move."

"Anticipate them? How?" Grim asked.

"For example, put a bodyguard on students that seem like likely targets. When something happens, we promptly get the student to safety. Then we hunt down the culprit in that immediate area." Riddle explained.

"Who do you think will be targeted next?" Celestia asked.

"I will guess, it might be the student who is joined in the magift. They are targeting, so we are going through a stakeout strategy." I said.

"Princess, that's exactly it!" Cater smiled, making the girl confused. "Actually, among the starting candidates, there's already a bunch that I've got my eye on that seem like they'd be next. I'll make a private group on magicam so we can message each other. take a look at the group's album, okay."

I grabbed my phone and opened it in the group chat. There were a lot of listed names and information about the students. 'Is this all of it?' I give my phone to Lucas and Celestia so they can see it too.

"Diamond, this is a huge amount of info," Deuce told Cater with his eyes turned wide open.

"I know. Then let's go figure out the next target." Cater said.

"And we're off! Let's go!" Grim jumped on my shoulder.

Three-person POV

All of them approach the Hall of Mirrors, one by one entered the Pomefiore dorm. The moment we entered the dorm, they saw a light purple castle. Everyone goes inside the Pomefiore dorm building and meets with beautiful and elegant designs of their castle.

' I hate castle... it gave me feel like I am back at my castle?' Y/n thought to myself.

"First up. Pomefiore dorm. I've marked third-year Rook Hunt in my 'Cater Check'. His trademarks are his blond bob and hat." Cater explained

"Last year, Rook was a stand-out player. But, there's something off about him..." Riddle said.

"Isn't that him sitting over there?" Deuce pointed his finger out. Y/n glanced to where Deuce is pointing and suddenly spotted a familiar face in a distance away.

Pomefiore dorm leader Vil, set with two more residents. The girl remember, that he make a poem at the entrance ceremony, and he wanted me to be in Pomefiore. One of the residents with Vil noticed her glance he has blonde hair which he wears in a bob-cut and green eyes. The male gazed at her and smiled. Y/n just smiled back, then turn to her group.

"Wow. They look almost shiny..." Ace said as his eyes flickered with light coming from Pomefiore members.

"Non non, little Epel. It is not elegant to put your fingers through the handle when you drink tea." Rook corrected Epel's mistake and showed him how it supposes to be.

"Eh...ah, alright! I'm so sorry." Epel apology.

"I am still undecided about the makeup for the tournament." Vil thinks about the makeup to use in the tournament, "I'm very curious about the new foundation from Felicite Cosmetics."

"Hahaha! My lovely Vil, our Rois de Poison." Rook admires Vil, followed by a giggle. "Your light is not so fleeting that it needs cosmetics to compensate."

"I am aware, my dear. But if I want to aim one rank higher, I can't hold back."

"Wonderful! That spirit of yours. It is truly marvelous." Rook told Vil

"Hmm. That guy doesn't seem strong at all." Grim frowned, "If I was the culprit, I wouldn't go after him."

"Grim, you can't just judge a person by only looking at their appearance. You might not know, he can be the strongest in this dorm." The girl told the little monster.

"Whatever?"

"Let's go check the next." Cater announced.

"PUT ME DOWN! I CAN WALK ON MY OWN, HEY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?" Grim yelled as Celestia grab him from behind, and carried him outside. Lucky it, did so loud to grab everyone's attention.

But as everyone starts to leave the dorm, Vil's attention turned to the girl that is leaving the dorm with her friends.

"That girl! She is dazzling as ever, even in a second glance." Vil mumbled, as the corner of his mouth turned up.

β€’β—ˆβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β—ˆβœ§βœ¦βœ§β—ˆβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β—ˆβ€’

After they lift the Pomefiore dorm, the Heartslabyul and Ramshackle residents strolled through the courtyard. The group suddenly hides behind the bushes.

"Next is Octavinelle Dorm. For my 'Cater Check', I marked the brothers Jade and Floyd Leech as high probability." Cater explained, while looking at his phone. "According to my info, they're known for their combo attacks and using them to wipe the floor with any opponent."

"Wah! There are two dudes with the same face." Grim complement.

"They are twins?" Lucas mumbled.

"And... those two, they're so tall they make all the other students around them look tiny." Ace commented, "Almost tall as, Y/n's shadow army. Scary."

"They're tall and lanky but they look like they aren't ones to mess with," Grim said.

"Then you want to mark those two?" Deuce asked.

"Hmm. If I was the culprit, I'd save those for last." Riddle stated, "Those guys... Especially Floyd, aren't people I want to get anywhere near to."

Y/n sighed from behind, 'I am more concern, why we are hiding behind bushes?' The girl thought to herself. As the boys were busy chit-chatting and didn't notice the two leech brothers approaching them. The girl waved her hands saying 'hello, the other leech brother waved his hand back.

While the other one went to Riddle, "Ah! It's Goldfish!" He said behind Riddle.

"Gah! He found me!" Riddle huffed.

"Goldfish, what're you doing? Hide and seek? Hehe... It looks fun." Floyd said cheerfully.

'Goldfish??' Y/n thought to herself, as she stood up.

"F-Floyd. How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that weird nickname?" Riddle told Floyd while backing away from Floyd.

"But you're small and red, just like a goldfish."

"This guy's a weirdo" Grim whispered as Celestia and Lucas agreed with a nod. Floyd turned his attention to Grim with a smile.

"Wow, a talking cat! So funny. Hehehe... Hey hey, can I give you a tight squeeze?"

"S-squeeze!? No way!" Grim runs behind the girl's feet.

"AHAAHHA!!? You bring little shrimp along with you. Ne!? Let's play together, little shrimp. " Floyd said overhead with joy, as he was about to hug Y/n. Riddle quickly grab her shoulder and pulled her away from him.

"Little shrimp??" Celestia and Lucas asked themselves. 'Is this man referring our lady into a fish?'

"Oi, Floyd! Stay away from her." Riddle told Floyd.

"Eeeeeh!!? Goldfish is mean." Floyd whined.

"Hm? What's this? Heartslabyul and Ramshackle are all together. Are you perhaps doing reconnaissance for the magical shift tournament?" Jade asked the group, and sound like a butler.

"No, actually," Lucas replied as he stood up.

"Umm, it's actually a rather long story..." Cater placed his hand behind his neck. Y/n took a step back when all of a sudden an unfamiliar aura appeared in her location. The girl gazed at her surroundings, however, there was no life source other than them.

When the boys are talking to each other, the girl ignored the sudden interest in her group voice. "We cannot simply overlook your attempts at spying now, can we. Could I trouble you to go into detail about your reasons for coming to spy on us?" Jade smirked.

"This guy's demeanor says calm and collected but his eyes aren't smiling at all..." Ace told the others as he turned wide open.

The group quickly stands on their feet, Riddle seems to notice that Y/n isn't paying attention. So he walked beside her, "Anyways, pardon intrusion!" Cater signaled, everyone as they started running away. The red-haired male pulled the girl's arm and rushed out of there.

'EH!? What's happening? Why are we suddenly running?' Y/n questioned herself. As soon as she turned around the Leech twins are following from behind.

"They're coming after us!" Deuce yelled.

"Hey, hey, wait up~," Floyd said to us. Riddle lets go of the girl's hand so she can run properly. Little do they know they split into three groups; Ace, Deuce, Cater, and Lucas went to the right side as Jabe followed them, while Celestia, Grim, and Riddle went to the left side and Floyd follow from behind. As Y/n goes straight.

As the girl look in front of her, she noticed everyone have vanished. "Darn it," Y/n mumbled. She quickly stopped running away, and turn around. Lucky the leech brother didn't follow her. "I should find the others--" The unfamiliar feeling again appeared close to her.

The girl changed her vision behind her back, where an arrow fly toward her. Before it could hit Y/n another arrow, appeared and hit the arrow that was about to hit her.

"Huh!?" Y/n turns to her gaze at the two arrows that are pressed in the ground.

"EEEEEEHH!? Someone destroy my perfect arrow, so mean." The pink-haired female whined, she look around her surroundings and saw a man with blonde bob-cut hair and with a huge hat. The pink-haired girl smiled. "Eh~ so you're the one, who smashed my arrow?" Her expression turned into a slightly angry one. "It's annoying, and I hurt it." Rook gazed at Charlotte with a smirk. Causing her to flinch and hold tight to her arrows. "That... man. I'll put a hole you inside that boy." She mumbled, shortly her phone suddenly starts to ring. The girl clicked call and placed in her ear, "Hello."

"Charlotte, where are you?" Netanel's voice asked at the other side of the conversion.

"A-at t-the mall? W-why do you ask?" Charlotte stuttered to answer and lied.

"Mall?? Well, whatever. Come back here, we have trouble." Netanel said as magic and sword fighting were heard through the other side of the phone.

"I got it~ I'm on my way, Netanel." Charlotte acts cheerfully, even though her face shows anger. The pink-haired girl, end the call and teleported away.

"Oh, huh!? She vanishes away, without saying 'Au revoir." Rook mumbled.

"Rook-senpai! What are you doing with your bow?" Epel asked.

"Oh, nothing. Little Epel, shall we get going. We don't want Rois de Poisson to keep waiting." Rook said as they both starts walking away.

Meanwhiles Y/n picks up the two arrows on the ground and takes a closer of them. The arrow that's about to hit her is colored in black with poison on the tip of the arrow. While the other is colored in gold. The h/c girl tilted her head, confusedly then she turned around and lookup. But there's no one even there.

"That's weird? The aura, I sense a while ago suddenly disappeared... This place is weird." Y/n said under her breath. She holds the two arrows in her left hand, "Raffire." Y/n light up a red flame and burn the arrows into ashes. Afterward, she pull out her phone and started texting the group. 'Where are they?

β€’β—ˆβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β—ˆβœ§βœ¦βœ§β—ˆβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β—ˆβ€’

Meanwhile at the boys.

"Who in their right mind would wait? Everyone, retreat!" Riddle shouted.

"Aah!? There they go." Floyd said.

"Hehehe, it was an enjoyable game of tag." Jade looked at the time, "My my, Floyd. It is almost time to get ready at Monstro Lounge. We'll have to save playing with them for another time."

"Fine!!" The leech brother soon starts to walk back to their dorm.
