Y/n POV

After Grim and I finished cleaning, we headed to the cafeteria. "I'm already beat from cleaning all day... Now, we have to wash a hundred windows too." Grim whined.

"Well if you over it then just get it done." I sat down on the chair.

"That Ace guy is sure taking his sweet time. Who does he think he is, making me wait? I'm pissed." Grim said. As we are waiting! I took out my book and starts reading, but out of nowhere someone suddenly jumps from behind me.

"Y/N!" A familiar voice said then hugged me from behind.

"Ahfmm." Grim gets surprised. "Who are you?"

I looked up at the person, and it was Kalim that's hugging me. "Kalim. What are you doing here? I thought you have a class to attend."

"Oh! It's already over and I came by to talk to my friend... It seems you still love to read books. Something never changes." Kalim smiled, "I heard that you are working as a handyman for the school. So, how was it?" Kalim asked, as he sat down next to me and ignored the monster, who almost put him on fire.

"It's... was interesting."

"YEAH! Who do you think you are?" Grim jumps on table.

"Aaaah!? That's the monster, who almost puts me on fire at the entrance ceremony." Kalim backed away from the monster.

"It's alright. Kalim, he won't put you on fire again like last time. I promise." I potted the chair and let Kalim sit down again.

"If you say so."

"So, you're my henchman friend. Nice to meet ya, I'm the Great Grim, the Greatest magician you will ever see." Grim said.

"Henchman??" Kalim looks at me, I just wave my head to the side. 

"How long do the two of you known each other?" Grim asked.

"Since we were five." Kalim answered, "Oh ya, by the way, are you busy later? I was thinking, let's hang out if you want."

"I love it too! But I still have work to do, maybe next time." I apologize.

"Alright! Hmmm..." Kalim looks around the cafeteria, "So, are you two waiting for someone."

Before I could answer, Grim spoke up. "Yap! And he should be here five minutes early. What taking him so long?"

"Him? Who are you looking for?" Kalim asked us.

"His name is Ace Trappola, a freshman," I answered.

Kalim put his index finger on his chin, "Hmm!? I don't know the name Ace. But I'm sure the classes for the freshmen students should be over by now."

"Aaahh!? Wait, he wouldn't just skip out, right." Grim turns to me.

"I believe so... Come on, let's go find him." I stood up from my chair.

"I'm not gonna let him get away with putting all the punishment on us! Hey, you white-haired boy. Tell me, where is his class?" Grim shouted while pointing his finger at Kalim.

"The freshman classroom is just in the hallway." Kalim pointed.

"Let's go, henchman! We're gonna catch Ace and make him do all the window washing."

"Thanks, Kalim. See ya." I wave goodbye, as I walk away from the table.

Kalim POV

'Wow! It's been so long since the last time I talk with her. It feels like it was just yesterday when we kids?'

"Kalim! There you are, I have been looking for you." A familiar voice.

"Oh, yeah. Jamil."

"What are you doing here? We should back to the dorm." Jamil said, I stood up and walked to the dorm.

"Yeah, Jamil! Guess, what? I talk to Y/n a while ago... And She was much cuter even in the entrance ceremony. I wish you can be here a bit early, so the three of us can talk to each other. Just like before when we were kids. "

"Lady Y/n. I talk her yesterday, at the entrance ceremony while looking for you... Y/n haven't changed a bit she still lovely, and kind person. And more beauty." Jamil muttered the last part.

"I know, right. aha... Except for that part, she yelled at the headmaster..." I turned to face Jamil. "Oh, remind me to visit her dorm for something, okay." I said.

"Sure."

'I hope nothing will change between our friendship.'

Y/n POV

After a long run at the hallway, we finally reached Ace's classroom. But the time we step foot inside, it seems that the class has already been over and the room is entry.

"HEY! Where's Ace!? We're not gonna let you hideaway." Grim shouted "...ah! There's nobody here."

'So he really did escape the punishment! That boy.' I thought to myself, crossing my arms together.

"No! I'm here" Both of us turned to the source of the voice and it was a talking painting.

"A painting that can talk. This doesn't seem something new." I said to myself.

"Gyaaa! The picture talked!?" Grim screamed in shock.

"What now? It's not uncommon for painting to talk at this school. The Wall Lady over there, the Wall Gentleman over here, everyone can speak. Portraits can speak because they have a mouth. That's normal, you know." The male painting said to Grim.

"He's right! Grim, some schools also had their own talking painting. In their walls, it's normal." I said.

"Your 'normal' and my 'normal' differ in regards to our quirks. Isn't that true? That aside, who are you looking for?"

"A guy named Ace. He's got a heart mark on his face and hair that sticks up." Grim responded.

"Ah yes, I know him. He's one of the freshmen that started today. He went back to his dorm not too long ago..." The male painting said.

"What? So he did try to get away! Which way did he go?"

"The entrance is behind the East Building." He answered.

"Hey! We're going after him" Grim soon runs off the classroom and heads to the East building.

"Thank you for your help. Sir, we will be taking our leave now." I curtsy down to the painting and then follow Grim.

"What a polite Lady. But I never get her name.... and still, she seems familiar to me though."

Ace POV

In the Hall of Mirrors, as I am going back to my dorm and escaping from my punishment.

"No way, am I washing a hundred windows. I'm gonna head home..." I said to myself and started walking to the dorm. 'I hope she won't get mad. I hate when she grabs my ear, and it still hurts.'

"Heeeey! Yooouuu."

"Gah! You found me." I turned around to see the raccoon and the girl running toward me.

"You jerk! Hold up. I won't let you be the only one to escape." The stupid Raccoon shouted.

"I'm not just going to wait around for you! I'm outta here." I shouted back as I make a run for it to the heartslabyul dorm mirror.

"It's not fair for only you to get out of it! I want to skip out too." I heard about the raccoon.

"Huh!?"

"Outta my way! Outta my way" I yelled at the blue-haired man that was blocking my way.

"Eh!? wh-whoa." The blue-haired boy seems confused about what's going on?

"Catch him, please! He's trying to skip cleaning." I heard from the girl, what was her name again? What.... what was it? Oh yea, y/n said to the blue-haired boy.

"Magic to capture someone? I should freeze their legs- no. How about restraining them? Or I could...um..." The blue-haired thinks.

"Anyway, I don't care how! Just hit him hard. Hurry." Grim yelled at him.

"Anyway!? Any... way... Okay! Anything is fine so come on. Something heavy." The blue-haired boy summoned a pot in the air and fell on top of my head.

"Gaaah! What the heck? A pot?" I asked myself.

"Gyahahahah! Check it out. Ace is flat as a pancake under that cauldron. So lame." Grim laughed at me.

"I didn't think I'd get a cauldron. Did I overdo it?" The blue-haired boy asked.

"Man, this hurts..."

"Yeah! Are you alright?" Y/n come closer to me, "Here let me see." Y/n take a look at my wounds but why? Then, she sighed with relief. "Thanks to the Great seven. Your wounds aren't that bad." Then, she smiled.

My face suddenly turned red and hot. I turn around, "You should be fine. Those 100 windows should be clean in a flash."

Y/n soon breaks a smile and turns serious, "That's not something you do 'in a flash! Also, these are orders from the headmaster so we must follow."

Y/n POV Flashback

Grim and I soon arrived at the East Building and we can see Ace walking toward his dorm.

"Heeeey! Yooouuu." Grim shouted at Ace.

"Gah! You found me."

"You jerk! Hold up. I won't let you be the only one to escape." Grim shouted again

'What did he say?'

"I'm not just going to wait around for you! I'm outta here." Ace shouted back as he made a run for it to the heartslabyul dorm mirror.

"It's not fair for only you to get out of it! I want to skip out too." I heard about the raccoon.

"Huh!?"

"Outta my way! Outta my way" Ace yelled at the blue-haired man that was blocking his way.

"Eh!? wh-whoa." The blue-haired boy seems confused about what's going on.

"Catch him, please! He's trying to skip cleaning." I said to the blue-haired boy.

"Magic to capture someone? I should freeze their legs- no. How about restraining them? Or I could...um..." The blue-haired thinks.

"Anyway, I don't care how! just hit him hard. Hurry." Grim yelled at him.

"Anyway!? Any... way... Okay! Anything is fine so come on. Something heavy." The blue-haired boy summoned a pot in the air and fell on top of Ace's head.

'Oh! That's gotta be hurt.'

"Gyahahahah! Check it out. Ace is flat as a pancake under that cauldron. So lame." Grim laughs at Ace.

"I didn't think I'd get a cauldron. Did I overdo it?" The blue-haired boy asked.

"Man, this hurts..." I heard from Ace

"Yeah! Are you alright?" I came closer to him, "Here let me see." As I take a look at his wounds. 'It seems fine and the wound is not too deep' I exhale. "Thanks to the Great seven. Your wounds aren't that bad." Then, I smile.

In the end, I could see his face turning red, 'Is he sick!?' "You should be fine. Those 100 windows should be clean in a flash."

I soon break a smile and turn serious, "That's not something you do 'in a flash! Also, these are orders from the headmaster so we must follow."

"Washing 100 windows as punishment... What in the world did you all do?" The Blue-haired boy asked.

'What do I bring myself up too?' I thought to myself, sigh.

"I got into it a bit with that furball and we might have charred the Queen of Hearts' Status a bit." Ace explains.

"You damaged one of the Great Seven Statues!? That's definitely something people would get angry with. You get into a prestigious school, then do something like that on the first day..." The Blue-haired boy said.

"...Shuddup. And who are you?" Ace asked him

"I'm Deuce. Deuce Spade. Would it hurt to remember your classmates' faces at least?"

"Um... You haven't memorized them either."

"A-anyway! If you were ordered to by the headmaster, that means you take it seriously."

"Yeah, yeah. Understood... Then, Let's get it done and over with."

'So he finally gave in. Well, that's good.' I thought to myself, at the moment I realize that the little monster seems to be awfully quiet. "Grim is being oddly quiet" I turned to my side and the cat was no longer right there. Afterward, I turned my back, to see Grim running away from us. "Grim, stop."

"Huh!?"

"Ah! That furball's gone."

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

Three-person POV

"Heh, he! I leave it to you all! Bye ~bye." Grim run off.

"Dumb cat! He made me take his place... Hey! Umm... Juice?" Ace said.

"I'm not Juice! Deuce! Deu." Before He can finish his sentence Ace spoke up.

"You're partly responsible so help us catch that furball." While The boys are talking to each other, y/n has already gone out and trying to catch the raccoon.

"Why me?" Deuce asked

"This deadweight isn't part of it, so she doesn't count! Let's go-- Yeah, where is she anyway?"

"Found her!" Deuce pointed his finger at Y/n that's trying to grab Grim.

Deuce POV

'Wow! She is fast. Who is she anyway? I didn't get a chance to ask what her name was. I saw her at the entrance ceremony but I didn't hear her name.' Moments later, I and this idiot run towards the girl.

I went to the girl, "Hey! Sorry, but I didn't get what your name was?"

"Ah!?" She turned her vision at me, "It's Y/n. Y/n Kambe, can we talk later. For now, let's focus on getting Grim."

'I can't believe this! One of the top high billionaire family is talking to me, I didn't expect this would happen on my first day... She seems strong, beautiful and cute too... Ah! Snap out of it, Deuce. This ain't the time for spacing out.'
