Y/N POV

We explained all of the details to Crowley, "I see, that's the situation... You're against apologizing to get the collar removed, but you don't feel that you can persuade Riddle to let this go without fuss."

"Yeah, that's about right." Ace said.

"So then, if you don't think you can compromise with the former leader you have the option of transferring dormitories."

"Is it possible to change dorms, Headmaster?" I asked Crowley as he nodded his head.

"However, your dormitory was chosen for you after the Dark Mirror saw the quality of your souls so... There are quite a number of troublesome procedures and rituals that are required." Crowley explained.

"Transfer, huh? That makes me feel like I'm just running away so no thanks." Ace quickly turned down the offer.

"hmm... How do you feel about applying for a decisive match with Mr. Rosehearts to take his place as dorm leader?"

"WHAT??" Everyone shouted, as I and Celestia cover our ears.

"Quiet down!!" I told them.

"Everyone! You're shouting." Crowley said to everyone except for me.

"Because you are saying really crazy things." Ace whispered.

"It's not crazy! It is very common for other schools to challenge their dorm leader." I said.

"Ms. Kambe is right! After all, that's how Mr. Rosehearts became dorm leader." Crowley said.

"Plus, you aren't the first one who challenges their dorm leaders," Celestia said.

"Huh??" Everyone except me gaze at Celestia, confused.

"What do you mean?" Deuce asked.

"Y/n, here! Also challenged her dorm leader back at her old school. So it's pretty normal to guys you to challenge Riddle for his post as the dorm leader." Celestia explains.

"Celestia," I muttered and embarrassed.

"Y/n did what?" Everyone froze in shock.

"Now that you mention it, how are the dorm leaders chosen at Night Raven College?" Deuce asked.

"We heard that Riddle became dorm leader a week after he started school," Grim added.

"Being nominated by the previous dorm leader winning a decisive match against the current dorm leader. There are many ways it's decided." Crowley explained. "A decisive match is one of the more simple."

"Isn't using magic to settle personal squabbles prohibited?" Ace asked the Headmaster.

"Personal ones, yes. Going through the proper channels with the headmaster overseeing a decisive match is another matter."

"It's prohibited to place handicaps on your opponent before a decisive match, too. You would be able to get the collar removed without apologizing to Riddle. But..." Trey added.

"All students are given the right to take the role of dorm leader the moment they enter this school," Crowley said with a smile. "What do you say? Mr. Trappola. Will you challenge Mr. Roseheatd?"

"Okay. I won't know unless I try." Ace replied.

"Count me in too..." Deuce said.

"Don't forget me!" Grim shouted.

"Grim! You cannot join them..." Celestia told Grim.

"Huh! Why not?"

"Unfortunately students from another dorm cannot issue a challenge," Crowley said.

"Ffgna!? Then who exactly is gonna take my collar off!?"

"Haha!! I'll order Riddle to take it off if I become dorm leader." Ace said with a smirk.

"Shit. This was gonna be a chance for me to show off my skills," Grim groaned, as I sigh at the side.

'I wonder! How will this fight go?' I tap my earring, "HEUSC! From your opinion, do you think they can win this fight?"

"I have a 00000000.1 chance they will win" HEUSC said

"Well, that's not helpful and mean. HEUSC" I breathe out in disappointment.

"You have one new message back home." HEUSC said.

"New message! Alright," I put my hand under the shadow as I pulled out black sunglasses, then walked to the other bookshelf. "HEUSC! Show me the message."

"As you wish," HEUSC showed me the message and it was Elly, who messaged me.

· ───── ·✧· ───── · ·

Elly

[ Lady Y/n! I hope you are doing well.] Message from last night

[My Lady! Mistress Kikuko and Lady Suzue know where you are? And they are on their way to you... when they see you, she will take you back to the mansion. Please be careful.] 15 minutes ago.

· · ───── ·✧· ───── · ·

"HEUSC! When will do you think Kikuko and Suzue would be arriving at Night Raven Collage?"

"A week for now."

"Huh!? A week. HEUSC, can you do something that slows them down or stop them?"

"As you wish, balance unlimited." After that I went back to the others.

"Are you guys serious? Deuce, I never would have expected this from you." These are the first words. I heard, when I got back.

"Really? As a man, don't you want to aim for the top sometimes?" Deuce pushes his fist on the hand, "If we're doing this count me in, make it a team-play."

"Here it is, bad-boy mode." Ace teasing followed by a smirk.

"Wha!? It's... normal!?"

"I shall take care of the bureaucratic matters," Crowley said.

"We should come up with a plan... If you want to win." I said

"Yeah. Anyone got any bright ideas?" Ace asked.

"Huh. I don't see us beating Riddle in terms of magic. But, if it's a fist fight we got this." Deuce said.

"True, he seems like a little weakling." Grim teasing.

"Oops, I forgot to mention. In this decisive match,-" Crowley has been cut off by me.

"Only magic is allowed, any attacks other than magic are forbidden," I told them.

"Glah!!!" Deuce took a surprise.

"Yep! It means, no punches or kicking." Celestia said.

"Hahaha! Follow the rules and enjoy your decisive match. The formalities will be taken care of tomorrow so be mindful of the timing. I bid you adieu." Crowley flow out from the library.

"A-Alright! I'm not super confident in our magic but... I'm sure it'll be fine." Ace said as others were nervous.

"Don't worry too much! I know, you guys can do it." Olivia flew out of the shadow and landed on Ace shoulder.

"Y-Yeah! You're right." Deuce with a shaking voice.

"I've still got this collar on me! You better go all out." Grim told them.

"You guys..." Trey said in low as he is worried about the first-year student going to do.

"When I become dorm leader, I'm going to make him say, 'I was wrong, I'm so sorry.'! And I'll stop him from paralyzing everyone with his crazy rules." Ace said with rage.

Three-person POV

Ace, Deuce, Grim, Celestia, and Olivia are leaving the library and so did Y/n too but... when she turned around at Trey? Y/n can see worry in Trey's eye, so she stayed behind for a while.

"Do you often worry that much!!" Y/n said as she sat down on the table.

"I...! Ace and Deuce are doing something recklessly that they don't know. They cannot win this fight." Trey changed his vision to Y/n. "How are you so confident that they can do this? Aren't you worried about what will soon happen to them?"

Y/n put out wide eyes to a close eye, and smile. "Yes, sometimes! But still, I trust them, and they trust me... Just think about the bright side if things go well then, these rules can stop. In addition to that, I can't stop them for what they have already decided?"

"............"

"Trey-senpai! About the part Ace said is your fault... I don't think he's saying that only to you." Trey gazed at Y/n in shock, "But to the two of us... Riddle is my friend too, and I don't want to see him turned into someone, that isn't him."

Y/n jump down and stand in front of Trey. "What Riddle needed right now? Are his friends... He needs you. We need you. Just have faith in us and by tomorrow might be different."

Y/n put her arms behind, as she gave a smile. Trey felt warm and truthy, his face shown a light blush. "It seems that I can't stop you. So I just gave you my truths."

"Hehehe!? You got it!" Y/n giggle, "I'll be taking my leave now. See you tomorrow at battle with Ace, Deuce, and Riddle." Y/n kisses Trey's forehead, as she runs towards the door, catching up with others.

Trey POV

"I should inform Riddle about tomorrow's battle," I said to myself, get up on my feet and I leave the library.

The time got to the heartslabyul, I went to Riddle and told him about tomorrow, "Yes, I am aware about tomorrow's battle. The headmaster was just here saying the something. Those foolish rule breaks think that they can win against me."

"......."

"Thank you anyway, you may leave now. I still have more paper work to be finish." Riddle said.

"Yes, dorm leader," I replied.

I strolled through the heartslabyul hallways, when I suddenly gaze up on the full moon. "Just think about the bright side! Huh!?"

As I fix my glasses! I quite recalled Y/n kiss on the forehead, my face started to burn up as my lungs are getting hard to breathe. "What is this feeling?... Why am I being like this?" 'Snap out of it, Trey Clover! It's just a kiss on the forehead. It's not a big deal.'
