***I forgot to post a drawing of Glory in her fourth outfit yesterday so here's what her outfit looks like after a week later from the final exam^***

"Eeh?! So Azul tried to make a deal with you yesterday?" Deuce shrieks as she sighs and nods.

"Yup, but I rejected his contract of course since I knew he is a conniving bastard and I'm not looking forward of meeting him again." Glory mutters.

"Mmm I feel so sorry for you." Deuce sympathizes.

"Meh it's no big deal. Besides there's absolutely no way he's gonna catch me." Glory assures.

"I see...but still. That's really extreme that Octavinelle's dorm leader would offer a crazy deal like this by making you his bride." Deuce points out.

"I could say the same Deuce." Glory sighs agreeing with him as they stroll through the halls until....

"Stop right there, Grim! I'm not gonna let this slide today of all days!!" Ace bellows. Deuce and Glory soon widen their eyes before they sigh when they heard their friend's voice through the halls.

"Oh god..." They uttered feeling like this won't end well as they watched Ace chasing after Grim.

"Ha Ha sucker! You should write your name on it!" Grim taunts.

"Why you!!!" Ace shouts as he kept chasing after them with Glory and Deuce sweatdropping at their antics. Not in the mood for goose chasing, Glory folds her arms and sighs before glancing at them.

"What happened this time?" Glory ask a bit annoyed.

"They'll never give it a rest, will they?" Deuce ask shaking his head at their antics. Soon they stopped when they noticed Glory and Deuce.

"Ah, Glor! If you're really a prefect then properly watch over your residents!" Ace shouts.

"Well I'm sorry for not looking out for Grim, but as you don't know, Deuce and I were at Crowley's office for a little small meeting." Glory explains.

"Eh? Meeting?" Grim tilts his head curiously while holding food in his hands.

"It's a long story." Deuce said.

"But that's besides the point. What my point is that I need to know what the hell is going on between you two while we're gone, so you might as well answer boi." Glory commands getting straight to the point.

"Well if you don't know, this jerk went and stole the bread I set aside for a snack again!" Ace yells.

"That's rude to say I stole it. I just happened to eat it after it fell on your desk." Grim retorts.

"You don't say things 'fell on' someone's desk when they were purposely set their, y'know!" Ace retorts.

"Running away like a thief you are. I'll show with my wind magic!" Ace hisses.

"Oh, you wanna go? I'll hit right back with my fire ma-"

"May I need to remind you idiots that if you use your magic in the halls right now, Crowley will put you into wiping a thousand windows all over the school." Glory warns cutting them off before tilting her head with a innocent grin with a hint of menace seeping out freaking Deuce out.

"You remember the last time you guys fought RIGHT?" Glory reminds them using a serious undertone behind her innocent smile causing them to widen their eyes and yelped.

"Ah!" Ace and Grim shrieked when they realized she has a point. They fought at the Maim Street during their first encounter when She and Grim were handymen. Not wanting to get trouble again, Ace and Grim both crept a smile.

"...You know what, Glor's right. Let's knock it off with the magic. It would be a huge pain to have clean windows again as punishment." Ace assures with an awkward smile.

"He heh. You say smart things every once in a while." Grim chuckles awkwardly.

"It'd be pretty immature for me to be the only one using magic so I'll let you off the hook this time." Grim said surprising Glory as she blink her eyes twice.

"Well...they sure resolve things quickly." Glory mutters.

"It's rare for you two to stop on your own. Usually it takes the headmaster jumping in after you've burned the classroom black to end your fights." Deuce informs with an inquisitive look.

"No sweat? I'd look like a dumbass throwing hands over bread with a raccoon." Ace remarks much of Grim's offense.

"Come again!? You really don't know when to shut up!" Grim hisses.

"Then again, Ace made a good point there." Glory points out and Deuce sighs.

"I guess, but...let's head to our class. Today's the results." Deuce reassures as the trio nods and heads to their class.
———————

Meanwhile at the classroom, everyone is muttering about the results from their exams while Grim couldn't contain his anticipation of his results, Glory can feel her legs shuddering out of nervousness.

"Jeez...This is nerve wrecking. I hope I get at least between a 80 or a 90 percent...." Glory mutters while quivering at the thought of her results.

"I'm sure you'll get a good result once Crewel gives you the grades." Deuce reassures and that made her a bit relief as she smiles slightly at him.

"You're right." Glory grins.

"Eee can't wait for the results to come in! I better be number one in this exam! I better!" Grim shrills.

"Ack! Get a hold of yourself will ya?" Ace shrieks with an annoyed look from Grim's hasty excitement. Soon the bell rings when Crewel burst into the room with papers in his hands and lays them on his desk.

"Time to start class, puppies. Sit like good little pups. First up, I'll return your tests." He informs.

"It's finally time." Deuce mutters and Glory nods.

"Right." Glory chimes in preparing herself for the results.

"Nyaha! Test returns! Come on teach!" Grim demands.

"Grim! Don't be rude! And sit down will ya?" Glory scolds at him turning to him with a scowl.

"Grim, calm yourself. Stay! Stay!!" Crewel barks at him and Grim let's out a pout and cross his arms flopping back down. He then let's out a sigh and glance back at his students.

"Come get your tests in student number order. Number one!" He exclaims as one student rises up to his seat and strolls to his teach to get his result. An hour of passing tests later, Glory and her friends got their tests back with positive results.

"Hooray! 92 points!" Ace cheers.

"88 points! I-I can't believe there would be a day I scored over 80..." Deuce mutters in surprise. Glory stares at her test and couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her grade and let's out a sigh.

"Thank goodness...I got a 93." Glory sighs in relief smiling at her result.

"Eeh!! 93!?" Ace shrieks.

"Hehe looks like Glory's beating you." Deuce chuckles making Ace turning away with a huff.

"I-It's fine! I ain't jealous! I'm just surprised that's all." Ace mumbles with Glory curling her brows with a smirk.

"Oh? You're not jealous are you, Acey-kun?" Glory teases causing his eyes widen and a blush crept from his cheeks as he scoffs.

"Like hell I am! And stop calling me that!" Ace retorts making Glory rolling her eye with a grin.

"Whatever you say, Ace." She giggles. Soon they flinch when they heard Grim screeching in glee while holding his test.

"Look, Glory! I scored 85 points!!!" Grim perks with a wide grin while holding his test and Glory giggles.

"Nice one Grim!" Glory praises as she pats his head gently with a smile.

"This means I won't have to repeat a year...!" Deuce chirps with a joyful smile.

"It seems like you all studied a lot for this exam. It's completely different from your quizzes..." Crewel stated before his face contorts with a perplexed expression.

"Actually, it's strange for the average to increase this much." He assumes making the students confused.

Hm? Strange?

Glory thought looking puzzled for a moment.

"Eh, it's strange...What do you mean, Mr. Crewel?" Ace ask curiously.

"The average test score for potions is over 90 in all grades. I heard from Mr. Trein that the results in history were also fairly good." Crewel explains shocking everyone in the room.

"What!?" Glory shrills.

"Eeeh!?" Deuce shrieks.

"Ffgna!?" Grim yelps.

"I've got a really bad feeling..." Ace mumbles with an unsure look. Glory glance at Ace before averting her eyes and lays her chin on her hand pondering about the odd scores.

So everyone did good at the exams, but no one got lower scores? He's not wrong about that...

Glory ponders as soon as Vivien's warning flashed before her mind when she warns about Azul and twins at the hallway.

I would like for you to keep your guard up for the twins and Azul. You can't let them catch you like this.

While reminiscing about her warning a minute ago, Glory clench her fist and bites the tip of her thumbnail with a slight scowl.

This has to do with the contracts that he signed with other students in this campus, no doubt! If he thinks this is going to change my mind, he has another thing coming!

Glory thought scowling without a shadow of a doubt in her mind that this is Azul's alternate plan to capture her.

"The 50 students with the highest scores will be posted in the hallway so look forward to it." Crewel informs.

"Let's begin class. Open your texts." He instructs as everyone start opening their textbooks, Glory blink her eyes twice before frowning again.

For now...I'll focus on Crewel's lecture. Then it's the top 50 board. Afterwards, sucker punch time.

Glory thought planning out her strategy in her mind as she nods slightly and opens her book listening to Crewel's lecture.
