"Remember this face dickless cads, because the girl that you just encountered was none only than Gloriane Corbett. Now scram!"

"S-Some power you have, Gothel's blood!"

"My pasta's getting soggy, so I'll let you off easy!"

Merlin lets out a sigh while watching the whole scene that unfolds through his crystal ball.

"My, my, the first thing you do during your first day in school was to get into a brawl with a couple of seniors." He mumbles shaking his head.

"Dire won't be pleased when he hears this. Rumors about Glory are spreading fast, I must get Glory immediately-"

Soon it was too late when Crowley opens the door and enters the infirmary with a frown.

"Merlin, we need to talk." He suggests as Merlin sighs and turns his chair to the headmaster.

"This is about Gloriane right? Because I was about to come get her after lunch." Merlin informs, but Crowley shook his head.

"No need for you to do that, we'll discuss the matters in my office." Crowley states.

"In your office?" Merlin curls his busy white brows in confusion.

"Yes, because I also have something to discuss with Gloriane just as much as you do." Crowley assures as Merlin and nods.

"Valid point. Shall we go?" Merlin asks.

"We shall, but first we have to send a student from Heartslabyul dorm to get her so we could discuss this together." The headmaster informs.

"Very well then, let's send a student there." Merlin complies as the tiny wizard turns to his desk and grabs the phone to dial the number of the Heartslabyul dormitory.

"Om nom nom! Delicious!" Grim chirps while devouring his supper.

"The egg around the omurice is light, fluffy, and the center is filled with gooey cheese!" Grim shouts as he gobbles his meal.

"Om nom nom! So we saw your guys' dorm this morning this morning, but what about the other dorms like?" Grim asks while stuffing his face with omurice.

"You know about the Great Seven statues displayed on the Main Street, right? There's seven of them, so there are seven dorms."

Suddenly they all turn their heads to see Cater and the bespectacled guy with green hair and a clover tattoo on his right cheek.

"Cater!" Glory shrilled.

"Geh! You're that guy from this morning!" Ace yelped.

"You even tricked us into painting those roses for you!" Grim pointed out with a frown.

"He didn't exactly tricked you guys. He was in a hurry." She reassured.

"Glo-chan's right, saying I tricked you is so mean. I wasn't doing it because I want to. It's just how things are done in our dorm." He corrected them.

"You were grinning the whole time..." Deuce shook his head.

"Now, now, Deuce-chan. Those rules are only for inside the dorm, so now I'm just your kind upperclassman." Cater informs.

"D-Drop the 'chan'!" Deuce scolds.

"That's just how Cater shows affection." The green haired boy with glasses reassures.

"Pardon me, but who are you?" Glory asks curiously.

"Oh, my bad. I'm Trey, Trey Clover. I'm a third year in Heartslabyul like Cater. And you're the freshman that was rumored to be the next Mother Gothel and put in charge of that ramsh- cough, unused dorm, right?" Trey asks making her sigh again, but smiled nevertheless.

"Yes I am. I'm Gloriane Corbett, but you can call me Glor or Glory for short." She greets him.

"Don't forget Glo, because you GLOW like an-"

"Angel, yes I get it. You told me that pun for the first time Cay." She restates and turns to Trey.

"And I can assure you I'm not like her. I may look like her, but I'll never be like her." She restates, but Trey chuckles and pats her head.

"I know you're not, Cater told me all about you and you've seem to be a nice girl." Trey compliments making her grin gently flattered that a kind bespectacled gentleman like Trey is the only person besides Cater, Deuce, Ace, and Grim who isn't afraid of her due to her sheer resemblance of Mother Gothel and never deems her as 'Gothel's Blood'.

"You don't think I'm Gothel?" She asked and Trey smiled softly.

"Course I don't, you're just a really good person. I even heard about Ace and Deuce from Cater. Sorry about all the trouble these guys from our dorm have caused you." He apologizes.

"I'm sitting right here..." Ace mumbles shaking his head. Glory giggles and wave her hand.

"It's fine, I think that dunce head Ace learns his lesson along with Grim. Minus Deuce because he was dragged into this. At least Deuce learns his lesson." She reassures.

"Hey!" Ace and Grim shouted with a glare. Glory sticks her tongue out while grinning making Cater laughing and Deuce and Trey chuckling at her sassy roast.

"Not wrong." Deuce agrees while chuckling.

"Anyway. We should put that aside and make up. We're in the same dorms after all. Let's all exchange numbers!" Cater suggests.

"I don't mind that." Glory grins.

"Cool! Let's exchange!" Cater cheers as he and Glory exchange numbers from their phones and just like that, they shared contact.

"Sweet! Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you that there's a photography club after school since you'd told me that you love photography if you want to join." Cater suggests.

"Ooo really? I love that! Of course I'll join!" Glory grins with her eyes beaming in excitement when talking about photography.

"Great! I'll let the club know that you're coming." Cater states as he scrolls down his phone to find the school webpage and click on the 'join button' for photography club.

"Annnnd done! You're now officially a member of the photography club. Remember, photography club starts at after school so don't be late, ok?" Cater reminds her and she nods.

"Thanks Cater, I'll check it out after school's over." Glory grins.

"No problem, Glo-chan. Speaking of which~, how about we go out on a date after your club's over? We could hang out at the Mostro Lounge that is located in Octavinelle Dorm." Cater asks making Glory giggle and shakes her head.

"Sorry, I have a busy schedule today, but I appreciate the offer." She kindly turns him down causing Ace and Grim to erupt a laughter and Trey and Deuce to chuckle at her rejection.

"Rejected~" Ace sang as he continues to laugh his ass off.

"Yeah, my henchman has a busy schedule, so back off!" Grim exclaims while laughing at the ginger haired flirt getting rejected.

"Pfft." Deuce chuckles while covering his mouth.

"Cater. Look at this freshman, hold back a bit." Trey assures while chuckling a bit from Glory's rejection towards Cater's advances.

"Ahaha, sorry sorry!" Cater apologizes.

"We were talking about the dorms? Sounds good, a fresh convo! We'll tell you anything you wanna know." Cater informs.

"First, I want you to tell us about our dorm. The hell is up with those crazy 'Laws of the Queen of Hearts'?" Ace asks irritably.

"You know all about the legend of the Queen of Hearts, right? She created wonderland of madness built on strict adherence to her rules." Trey explains.

"Out of respect for the Queen of Hearts, those of us in Heartslabyul traditionally wear red and black arm bands, just like her dress, and uphold the laws that she made." Cater explains more.

"Sounds like a stiff place." Grim remarks.

Well it is Wonderland after all and everyone knows not to piss off the Queen of Hearts. No wonder why those two punks are so obnoxious.

Glory thought while thinking about how Heartslabyul is based on Alice in Wonderland.

"How strict we follow the rules depends on the dorm leader, last year's was pretty chill about it." Cater informs.

"Riddle is the serious among the serious of all dorm leaders. So he follows rules to the max." Trey explains causing Glory to look back at the ceremony where she first met the dorm leaders including the brownish red haired dorm leader who walked passed her two days ago.

"Hmmm, the way you'd explain it does remind me of the Queen of Hearts." She concurs.

"Bleeeh. What a pain." Ace groans while shaking his head.

"What about the other dorms?" Grim asks.

"Like Cater just said, there are seven dorms each emulating one of the Great Seven." Trey informs.

"Our dorm, Heartslabyul, is founded by the strict spirit of the Queen of Hearts."

"Savanaclaw, the dorm founded on the fortitude of the King of Beasts."

"Octavinelle, the dorm founded on the benevolence of the Sea Witch."

"Scarabia, the dorm founded on the deliberation of the Sorcerer of the Sands."

"Pomefiore, the dorm founded on the strenuous efforts of the Beautiful Queen. And..."

"Ignihyde, the dorm founded on the diligence of the King of the Underworld."

"Diasomnia, the dorm founded on the elegance of the Witch of Thorns."

Once he finishes explaining the Great Seven, Glory became intrigued by the stories of her favorite Disney villains.

"Damn, never knew they could be so popular in this world." She said looking very impressed.

"Their names are too long! No way I'm gonna remember all of that!" Grim shouts making Cater laugh at his reaction.

"Just get the rough idea. You'll remember them eventually." Cater reassures.

"Which dorm you enter is based on the judgement of the Dark Mirror when it looks at your soul during the entrance ceremony. So each dorm has their own quirks about them." Trey explains.

"You're right about that. I totally see it." Cater agrees.

"What...quirks?" Deuce asks curiously.

"For example...Look, over there." Trey said as he points his finger where they all turn to a man with white spiky hair and wolf ears.

"Macho plus a dog-ear headband is pretty original." Glory remarks with an intriguing grin. Then she notice the white haired boy with wolf ears glance over, but flinch with his ears sprung up and quickly turns away leaving Glory blinking her eyes in confusion.

Well that was a weird way to react and did his ears sprung up just now??

Glory thought curiously while gazing at the white haired wolf boy.

"Yup. That rugged look definitely means Savanaclaw." Trey affirms.

"Totally! That dorm has a lot of people good at sports and martial arts. They're the buff and gruff big bro types? Savanaclaw wears yellow and black armbands." Cater explains.

"Hooo. Then what about that guy with the grey and lavender thing on his arm?" Grim asks as they all turn see a young man with silver hair and glasses.

That's the guy from the entrance ceremony....

Glory thought recognizing him from the entrance ceremony who gave her a quick wink before he left with the other dorm leaders.

"He's from Octavinelle." Trey replies. She nods, but soon notices the bespectacled silver haired student glance over until he widen his eyes once their eyes are locked. As their eyes are locked for the first time, the silver haired male student forms a grin and winks at her before turning back to his table baffling the dark haired female freshman.

Okaaaaay...that was weird....

Glory ponders while looking weirded out by his flirty action.

"At the table in front of us, the guys with the dark red and yellow are from Scarabia." Trey explains as they glance to where they see two men wearing a turban and a hoodie.

"They say both of them are really smart. Those two dorms are in a dead heat. Though, the Scarabia dorm leader isn't that great at studying." Cater explains.

Dead in heat huh?

Glory thought while staring at the two men from Scarabia. Soon the boy in the turban turns to the other side when he notices her staring at him. Once their eyes locked, the boy in the turban flashes a smile and waves his hand at the new girl making her blink, but wave back at him while smiling slightly as she feels awkward when receiving a lot of attention.

Soon Grim lightly nudges her arm and Glory turns to him.

"Those three guys are really giving you these weird looks. Do you think they have a crush on you?" Grim whispers making the raven haired girl sweat drop.

"I highly doubt that's the case, Grim." She mutter.

"We're getting completely derailed." Ace points out.

"You sure adapt quickly." Trey grins.

"Back to what we saying, over there, practically sparkling." Trey points his finger where they all turn to see two young men. One is a tall young man with blonde hair in a bob cut who is wearing a tan hat with a brown trim and a white feather and the other has a fragile appearance with shoulder-length lavender hair and cyan eyes.

"Woah! There's a super cute girl over there!" Grim shrills with excitement.

"Umm..."

"Wha?! At a boys school?!" Deuce shrills in shock.

"Guys, I'm pretty sure that's not a girl. Even though he does have a feminine appearance, he's biologically a guy." Glory reassures making Deuce and Grim go "Eh".

"Glor's right you idiots. This is a boy only school, there's no way that's a girl." Ace corrects them shrill in disbelief. The boy with lavender hair glance their way when he hears them scream until he widen his eyes and his whole face turns red once he laid eyes on Glory. Flustered, the shy boy quickly turns away as smoke starts to come out of his ears. The young man with blonde hair wearing a tan hat notices the young boy's flushed face as he turns to where he was looking until his green orbs met with her alluring grey orbs. As their eyes locked for the first time, the young man smiles and tilts his hat where he flashes the gorgeous ravenette with a wink before turning back to his table.

This causes Glory to blink her eyes twice baffled by the sudden attention she's receiving.

Am I in the Twilight Zone here because I'm actually weirded out by the quick attention I'm receiving right now....

Glory thought while freaked out by the sudden attention she's receiving in the cafeteria. Soon Glory heard a soft chuckle from Ace.

"Wow supervisor. Is this deja vu or you've suddenly became a guy-magnet?" Ace asks with a smirk making her fluster.

"Eh?! Guy-magnet?" Glory shrill with blush crept from her cheeks making Trey and Cater chortle.

"Well that makes sense since we never have a girl in our school before." Trey states it.

"Mhm and you're cute as well!" Cater points it out making her blush even more. Embarrassed, Glory turns away in timidity.

"D-Don't be silly, I wouldn't call myself attractive..." She stutters while blushing.

"Sure you are! You're being cute right now!" Cater teases making Glory giggle softly while shaking her head and turns back to Cater.

"Shut up, I'm not that cute." Glory retorts while smiling a bit.

"Glor, come on. You got a cute face, a rockin' bod, and a badass magic that you'd unlocked. What's there to explain?" Ace points it out causing her to be flattered by his compliment. Though it surprises Glory, a sudden urge to tease him kicks right in when she forms a small smirk at the orange haired freshman.

"Oh? Are you falling for me Acey-kun?~" Glory teases batting her eyes playfully making Ace widen his eyes and turns away.

"As if I'd fall for you and don't call me that!" He snorts while facing away. Glory didn't mind as she rolls her eyes and smile.

"Whatever you say, doofus." She replies as she playfully winks at Cater, Deuce, Trey, and Grim to let them know she's messing with him. They got the message and chuckle.

"Well if you wanna see girls, the portrait in the west building is where you can get girls. Roselia is pretty high level. I can introduce you, if you're interested. Should I set up a blind date?" Cater jokes causing Glory to laugh at his teasing and smirks at Ace.

"Aww~ Acey-kun's got the hots for Roselia~." Glory playfully sang making Deuce, Trey, and Grim to chuckle at her sing-song voice including Cater. Ace become flustered.

"Oi not so loud and I told you not to call me that!" Ace retaliates making Cater cackle at her teasing.

"So what do you say Ace?" Cater playfully asks.

"I-I'm good!! No matter how cute Roselia is, she's just a painting." Ace declines.

"Anything goes if you're good-looking. Pomefiore always scores high for looks and their beauty regimen is second to none." Cater informs.

"Well...I cant say I'm not that surprised since the Queen was known to look herself in the mirror 24/7." Glory states it.

"Exactly, and their dorm leader is a Magicamegrammer with over 5,000,000 followers." Cater explains making Glory tilting her head a bit.

So their dorm leader is Instafamous huh? Hmmm...maybe if I have the time, I'll definitely check out this Magicame that Cay's been talking about.

She thought.

"Hey now, don't entirely focus on their looks. Pomefiore has many members skilled at making potions and curses." Trey explains further.

"Ahaha, is that so?" After chuckles.

"Next would be Ignihyde, but...I don't see any of them around, they've got blue and black arm bands. Everyone in that dorm has their guard up all times, not even I have any friends." Cater sighs.

"Sounds like they don't like people that much." Glory assumes and Cater nods.

"Mhm they're the exact opposite of the extroverts in Heartslabyul." Cater told her.

"So they're dull?" Grim asks.

"Grim!" Glory scolds at him with a frown.

"Hey! Word choice! Though they do have a very quiet image." Trey state it making Glory tilting her head with a sympathetic look.

Well I don't really blame them. I know what is like to be around with people or talking with new people. I have a friend who is like that. I always knew Zara as an introverted person, but I can see she's still improving her social skills and trying to get out of her comfort zone. Hell, I get introverted when it comes to sing in public or when I'm pressured to sing upstage. *sighs* I wonder how she and Harriet are doing right now? I hope they're doing ok.

Glory thought reminding her of her other best friend, Zara when Cater explains the people from the Ignihyde dormitory, but at the same time she misses hanging out with them and her parents. Hopefully she'll find a way to get back home.

"However, many of them are good at building equipment that uses magic energy or digital things." Trey explains.

"Damn, they're really tech-savvy!" Glory chirps.

"They are!" Cater cheers with a grin.

"Only the Diablahblah dorm is left." Deuce said.

"Diasomnia dorm." She corrects him.

"Yeah, you can't fool us with a straight face.

"I bit my tongue, okay!" Deuce denies.

"Diasomnia is...there. They're all shoved into that booth in the back." Cater points out as they all peer behind him to see three men in green outfits.

"Their symbol is their green and black arm band. They're kind of celebrities." Cater says.

"Celebrities? Like popular kids?" Glory asks curiously.

"Something like that. They've got this aura that makes them hard for us to approach them. The dorm leader has MAX don't come near me vibes." Cater explains as Glory tilts her head at the Diasomnia students with a perplex look.

That guy with the pink streaks doesn't look intimidating and the others....well not so much...

Glory thought while staring at them.

"Huh? There's a kid with them." Ace points out.

"You can skip grades and still enter this school, but he's a third year just like-"

"Lilia. Lilia Vanrouge."

"Gah!" Ace and Trey flinch.

"Wtf?!" Glory cusses looking stunned when the guy with pink streaks appeared out of the blue.

"H-He just teleported right over here!" Grim shrills.

"Are you curious about my age? Kufufu. I have a baby-faced visage but like glasses said, I'm not at an age one would call me a child." Lilia reassures.

"Baby-faced..." Trey mutters. Then the young mage turns to Glory with a grin and grabs her hand.

"And you must be Gloriane Corbett. The freshman whose been rumored to be the next Mother Gothel?" He asks making Glory sigh when this rumor was brought again.

"This again..." She mumbles making Lilia chortle.

"Please don't be mistaken, Glorious. I don't judge people by appearances, I just wanna take a peep at your friends' conversation and from the looks of it, you look stunning in person." He compliments making Glory curl her brow at the nickname he gave her.

"Glorious?" She asks curiously. Lilia chuckles.

"It's a nickname that I give you since your name means 'Glorious Grace'. It definitely suits you." He says as Lilia flashes a wink at her. Glory averts her eyes feeling her cheeks flush a little.

"I'm fine with being called an 'angel', 'cute', and 'beautiful', but 'Glorious'? I'm not so sure..." Glory skeptically says feeling unsure about her looks, but Lilia chortles and strokes her hand.

"I mean it, you're glorious on the outside, but your soul is much more pure compare to her. Just like your light magic." Lilia assures. Glory widens her eyes and turns to Lilia.

"Y-You know my magic?" She stutters making him chuckle.

"Everybody knows you've unlocked your magic. You've even showed us in the cafeteria when you beat those Heartslabyul seniors a moment ago." Lilia informs making Glory sweat drop when he mentions about the student body including the dorm leaders and vice leaders.

"Welp...sh#t. I'm so screwed." She gulps and Lilia chuckles and kisses her hand.

"Don't worry about it Glorious, I'm sure you'll do fine." Lilia reassures and turns back to the guys.

"There's no need to look on from afar, just come up and speak with us. Are we not students of the same academy? We at Diasomnia will always welcome you with open arms." Lilia reassures, but none of them were convinced when they could feel the intense stares from the other Diasomnia students. Hell, even Glory can feel their intense stares that she's receiving.

"They look like they want to kill me though...." Glory mumbles with a sweat drop creeping down from the side of her head while feeling uncomfortable from their stares.

"Those guys over there don't look like they'd be very welcoming..." Deuce cautiously states.

"Kukuku. Apologies for dropping in your meal. Until we meet again." Lilia says and turns to Glory one more time.

"And I'll be seeing you the next time we see each other, Glorious." He implies flashing a wink again before heading back to his table with the others.

"Huh, Ace was right. You are a guy-magnet, Glory." Grim says with a smirk crossing his arms.

"Can you drop the 'guy-magnet' schtick already? Besides, he just went up to us." Glory assures.

"Not only that, but that guy just appeared out of nowhere!" Deuce murmurs looking stunned.

"Our table is easily over 20 meters away from them, but you're telling me that he heard us talking? Freaky!" Ace mutters.

"Well...Let's just say that Diasomnia has many peculiar members. Many of their members excel at magic in general. Their dorm leader, Malleus Draconia, is counted among top five wizards in the world." Trey explains.

Jeez, is this Malleus guy really that intimidating?

Glory ponder while thinking this mysterious dorm leader that everybody's been talking about. However, she soon caught Cater talking when she hears this.

"Honestly Malleus, is like super crazy. Our dorm leader is his own brand of crazy though." Cater informs.

"So true! All I did was eat a single piece of tart and he collared me." Ace concurs. Glory soon notices someone behind Ace, she lean over to Ace's behind and widen to see Heartslabyul's dorm leader standing before him. Alarmed, Glory lean back and gave Ace a panic look.

"Umm Ace-"

"His narrow-minded is super crazy!" Ace rants.

"Hmmm? I'm super crazy?" Heartslabyul's dorm leader asks with a menacing tone.

"Yeah. He blew right past 'strict' and is just a tyrant!" He mouth off with Deuce panicking as well when he saw their dorm leader standing behind him.

"Ace! Behind you!" Deuce yells.

"Huh?" Ace got confuse until he turns his head to see the dorm leader standing behind him causing him to flinch and panic.

"Heh! Dorm leader!" Ace shrieks as Heartslabyul's intimidating dorm leader stands before him crossing his arms to his chest shooting him with a disapproval glare. On the other hand, Glory sat there with a sigh and face palm.

"This is not gonna end well..." Glory mutter where this day has gone from screwed to a pain-in-the-ass.
