Maria P.O.V

Ace held me close to him as the rose trees came charging towards us, we braced ourselves for impact, but nothing came. We opened our eyes and saw cards falling from the sky

"!? This is..." Riddle-senpai looked surprised

"H-Huh!? We're alive? What are these? Card suits?" Ace said who was surprised

"The rose trees have all been turned into card suits. How...?" Deuce wondered

"Cards...?" I grabbed one of the cards from the ground, and I noticed Ace doesn't have a collar around his neck anymore "Ace, Deuce, you guys don't have the collar anymore" I said, and Ace and Deuce felt around their neck

"You're right... It's gone! But how?" Ace asked, and we saw Trey approaching us

"Trey-senpai?" I said his name

"Riddle, stop now!" Trey-senpai said to Riddle-senpai

"Trey's Doodle Suit!? Eh... What's going on...?" Cater-senpai asked

"I told you. My Doodle Suit can overwrite anything for a short period of time. So... I overwrote Riddle's magic into my magic" Trey-senpai said while glaring at Riddle-senpai

"Amazing" I said with an awe look

"You're kidding... That's impossible!? It's a cheat!" Cater-senpai exclaimed

"Keh... Off with their heads! When I have your heads!" Riddle-senpai used his unique magic again, but only cards came out "Why won't anything but card suits appear!?" Riddle-senpai yelled

"Riddle, stop this. If you go any further, you will lose everything! Look at everyone's faces!" Trey-senpai as he pointed towards the residents with a scared look on their faces

"W-Was he seriously going through with it...?"

He went way too far..."

"A m-monster..."

The residents shivered in fear at what they saw, but Riddle-senpai didn't pay attention

"Huh...? Trey overwrote my magic...? Does that mean you magic surpasses mine?" Riddle-senpai said as he forms a pair of fists on his hands and shaking

"There's no way that's the case. Riddle, calm down a bit and let's talk this out" Trey-senpai tried to calm Riddle-senpai down, but Riddle-senpai looked even angrier

"So, you want to tell me I'm wrong too!? Even though we've been upholding these strict rules this whole time!? I've been enduring and enduring this whole time... I... I... don't believe you!" Riddle-senpai yelled, and I saw his heart turning darker

"Mr. Rosehearts! You mustn't! If you keep using your magic... You magic crystal is going to be covered in blot!" Headmaster Crowley said

'Blot...? In the book, there was a missing section about it...' I looked at Riddle-senpai with a worried look 'His heart... Is about to be completely covered by darkness'

"I am... I AM!!! Absolutely, definitely CORRECT!!!!!" Riddle-senpai yelled

"RIDDLE!!!" Trey-senpai yelled out his name before Riddle-senpai was completely covered in ink

Drip drop

Drip drop

Drip Splat

After some time, the ink fell off of Riddle-senpai, but his appearance changed into something sinister

"Riddle-senpai..." I got up from the ground, looking shocked "His heart and aura completely turned black!" I shouted

"Hnhnhn... HAHAHAHAHA!!" Riddle-senpai laughed evilly "Those foolish enough to disobey me, I have no need of them in my world! I am the law in my world. I am the rules! No other response than 'Yes, Lord Riddle!' is acceptable!! It's off with their heads of any who disobey me! Ahahahahaha!!" Riddle-senpai said with a demonic voice

Then I saw a monster behind him 'It's like the monster we saw at the mines!' I thought

"Ahh, look at this mess! A student has gone into overblot right in front of me!" Headmaster Crowley said

"Overblot?" I looked at the headmaster with a confused look

"What the hell is overblot!? That guy's got a wicked air to him now!" Grim asked in a freaked out voice

"Overblot is a state that wizards must avoid at all costs. He's being caught up in the storm of negative energy that has made him lose control of his emotions and magic!" Headmaster Crowley said, but it seems Grim and Deuce didn't understand, then Cater-senpai snapped at their stupidity

"Aah, crap! In plain terms: he's fallen into a dark berserker state!" Cater-senpai shouted

"His life is in danger if he keeps using his magic like this" Trey-senpai said

"His life!!??" Both Grim and I shouted at the same time

"Right now, the safety of the other students is the top priority. I shall evacuate the other residents. Mr. Rosehearts must be brought back to his senses before he runs out of magic. Losing his life would be terrible, but worse than that... Now, I need you all to go get the other dorm heads and teachers to assist..." Headmaster Crowley didn't finish his sentence

"GAAAAHHH! EAT THIS!!!" Ace used his wind magic on Riddle-senpai, leaving everyone shocked

"Come forth! Cauldron!" Deuce summoned a cauldron on Riddle-senpai

"Fffgnaaa!" Grim breathed out his fire

"What are you fools doing?" Riddle-senpai asked as he glared at us

"W-W-Whoa, what are guys thinking!?" Cater-senpai asked

"He's only in danger like this!!!" Grim yelled

"I won't be able to sleep well with like this. And..." Deuce said and Ace finished the other half of the sentence

"He still hasn't said 'I was wrong! I'm so sorry!' yet!And he still needs to apologize to Maria about what he said!" Ace said

"You all... Got it! I can overwrite his magic with my Doodle Suit, even if its not long. Finish this quickly! Headmaster, please work on evacuating the residents" Trey-senpai said as he took out his magic pen

"Hold on just a second all of you! It's too dangerous!" Headmaster Crowley said to us

"That's right! What's gotten into you Trey? You know you can't beat Riddle!" Cater-senpai said

"Only challenging guys you know can beat, that's too lame!" Ace said

"This isn't cool at all!" Grim said

"I can't think of anything else that can bring him back to his senses quickly." Deuce said

"They're right y'know. Plus, I'm pretty sure Trey-senpai has so much to tell Riddle-senpai, so I'm gonna do what I can to bring him back!" I said

"Maria's right. I can't lose him. I... still have so much to tell him" Trey-senpai said

"So, let's work together to bring Riddle-senpai back to his senses!" I said sounding a leader

Headmaster Crowley and Cater-senpai looked hesitant, but they gave in

"....Aaah, shit! Understood. I'm really not cut out for this kind of thing!" Cater-senpai said

"Ugh. Fine... As soon as I finish evacuating the other residents, I'll be back! Hold on until then!" Headmaster Crowley said as he started to evacuate the residents, once he left, we stared at Riddle-senpai

"This guy, that guy, you all have some nerve... I'll take all your heads off at once!" Riddle-senpai shouted

"Riddle's body can't keep this up. We have to stop him before it's too late..." Trey-senpai said and I placed my hand on his shoulder

"Don't worry Trey-senpai, I'm sure we'll be able to save him as long we have each other's backs" I said trying to encourage him, and Trey-senpai looked at me with his cheeks a little red and he nodded. Our fight against Riddle-senpai has begun

No One P.O.V

"Doodle Suit!" Trey used his unique magic on Riddle, and Riddle got angry

"Shit, shit! You're in my way Trey!" Riddle shouted at Trey

"Alright! He sealed Riddle's collar attack!" Grim said

"Yeah, but remember it doesn't last long. So, we better hurry!" Maria said

"Like Maria-chan said, Trey can't keep it up for long. We're still in a pinch here!" Cater said

"While I'm sealing 'Off with your head!' hurry!" Trey said to everyone, and Riddle yelled in anger

Ace started off using his wind magic, then Grim used his fire on Riddle, it had some effect, then Deuce summoned his cauldron. Next, Cater used his water magic but it had little, and Trey used his nature magic.

Riddle was getting angrier and attacked us back. Riddle used the rose tree root and aimed it at Ace

"Ace! Watch out!" Maria rushed towards Ace, protecting him but resulted her getting hit instead of Ace

"Aaaaaahhhhhh!!" Maria screamed in pain and crashed into the ground

"Maria!" Ace rushed towards Maria and carefully lifted her up, the rest of the guys rushed the scene worried about Maria "Why did you take the blow?!"

"I wanted to protect you and everyone... I don't want you guys to get hurt..." Maria said as she started to stand up but almost fell again, Ace caught her

"Oi! You shouldn't stand!" Deuce said with a worried tone

"He's right Maria, you rest, and we'll handle Riddle" Trey said but Maria shook her head

"No... I can still fight..." Maria said weakly, and Ace got mad

"Just rest alright! You won't be able to stand another blow if Riddle does the same attack!" Ace yelled

"Sorry, Ace... But I'll be fine..." Maria said as she pulled out her pendant

"Huh? Wait! Are you...?!" Deuce knew what Maria is gonna do

"Killiter Ichaival Tron" Then Maria's body was surrounded in a bright light

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Once the brightness dimmed down, Trey, Cater and Crowley were left speechless of Maria's form

"Woah! Maria-chan looks even hotter!" Cater said as he took a picture of her with hearts in his eyes

"I have to agree" Trey said as he looked away with his face red

"W-What is this power?" Crowley asked

Ace and Deuce were staring at Maria with their faces red, Maria readied her weapon and Riddle sent another root at her, but she shot them and destroyed them

"What?! How?!" Riddle yelled and glared at Maria "Why you...!"

Riddle sent more roots at Maria, but she keeps firing her guns at the roots and destroying them

While Riddle was busy sending his attacks at Maria, she jumped towards the monster behind Riddle "I believe it's time for you to know your place!" Maria shouted as she brought out a gun and shot the monster's head. Riddle has been defeated

"Was... I wrong...? That can't be right... Mo...ther..." Riddle fell on his knees on the ground, and Maria changed back, walked towards Riddle and held his shoulders

"Don't worry... I'll make your pain go away" Maria said as she bit Riddle's neck

Everyone looked shocked for a minute, and saw Riddle turning back to normal, no longer overblot. After Maria pulled away, she and Riddle passed out

"Riddle!" Trey and Cater ran towards Riddle

"Maria!" Ace, Deuce and Grim ran towards Maria
