Three-person POV

The owl and the small wolf are hiding in the bushes, spying on the two female demons that are sitting on a big rock.

"AH!? What's taking him so long?" Victoria whined. "Does he know that I hate waiting?"

"Can you please shut your whining, already!?" Charlotte said while moving her leg up and down. "Just because you failed on your mission... You don't need to be jealous about it."

"J-Jealous!? Why would I be jealous of that idiot reaper?" Victoria shouted as she stand up, "I'm just saying, where the hell is he?!" Charlotte takes a breath out.

"Wow, she needs to cool off," Olivia whispered.

"Why aren't they yet moving? Who are they waiting for?" Felix muttered.

As two hours passed, soon the red-haired grim reaper popped up in one of the bushes. "Oh? Have you two ladies been waiting for me? How adorable." Victoria walks toward Jackson and grabs him in the collar.

"What took you so long? It's been two hours and a half." Victoria said in anger.

"Just playing with a visitor, along the way," Jackson replied in cheerfully. As two girls titled their heads, the two familiars look at each other and then back at the enemy.

"Visitors!? What visitors?" Charlotte asked.

"I do, you one better, who are the visitors?" Victoria asked with an angry face.

"Something happened when this man is walking here?" Felix whispered.

Olivia nodded, "I think so!... I also want to know, who is the victor? He is talking about."

Jackson removed Victoria's hand from him and giggled a bit. "None, other than the Knights of Andalasia." He said with a smile, the three girls and Felix flinched as they stared at him with wide gazes.

"W-what!? The Knights of Andalasia." Olivia turns to the wolf, "Do you think is King Shin or Lord Daisuke doing?"

"Yeah, I can't think of anyone other than those two." Felix answered, 'Tsk... what does that two think they are doing?'

"If the Andalasia knights are moving then that means-" Charlotte tail off by Victoria.

"It means there will be war between the kingdom of Andalasia and Queen Narissa. That includes us, wow. Amazing! I'm so excited."

"We should inform the Queens about this!? After you ladies." Jackson said. Victoria and Jackson are about to start walking when Charlotte stops them.

"Wait wait, wait a minute you two..." Charlotte pulled them both back.

"Eh!? What's wrong sugar baby?" Jackson asked turning his head.

"You two once said, that Y/n is entering a school right now. Then, I like to know who is commanding the Andalasia army? If she isn't there." Charlotte asked as the duo stared at her.

"Isn't obvious!? It's that stupid, crown prince Daisuke." Jackson huffed.

"Tell you that truth, I despise that prince." Victoria said as steam come out of her ears, "He destroyed ten of my beautiful yokai. My poor yokai... I kill both the princess and the crown prince."

"I see," Charlotte mumbled. "So what we going to do about that crown prince-" Charlotte was tailed off, when one of the wounded Andalasia knights shows up.

"Oh-oh,... You have served from my attacks." Jackson turned to the knight. "Now you are just wasting my time."

"Then kill him already, we don't have time to deal with this human," Victoria said in a cold tone.

"Y-you...." The male knight struggled to speak, as the trio turned their attention to the knight. "You won't get away... I'll make... sure you pay... for what... you have done."

"Is he trying to scare us!?" Charlotte asked.

"Perhaps," Jackson nodded.

"ENOUGH... DIE... YOU MONSTER." The knight pulls out his sword as he runs toward the group.

"Useless!" Victoria mumbled, she snapped her finger, and the knight's head slash in half. The duo started giggling while the two familiars stare in shock.

"I felt bad for him... He is trying to become the hero knight, yet in the end, he still failed." Charlotte giggled in a wicked way.

"Now that's have been taken care of, let's go back," Victoria told her team.

"Yes, yes." The duo replied. They soon start walking to the castle while the familiar stayed frozen.

"T-they... S-she killed that knight by a flick of a finger." Olivia getting hard to breathe.

"Calm down, calm down Olivia... Now that, we are sure that they are living in the old dark castle. We need to inform lady Y/n, okay." Felix said to the owl, and she nodded.

The two familiar goes inside the shadow and then teleported away. The pink-haired girl stop in her tracks and placed her index finger on her chin. 'Hmm!? Maybe, I should visit the princess from her school.'

"Charlotte, let's go," Jackson called out.

"Ah!? You guys, go on ahead. I forgot to buy my strawberry cake, see you later." Charlotte waved her hand while running away.

Victoria sighed, "Geez, that girl never has enough of eating cakes." Victoria and Jackson continue to walk back into the castle.

The h/c girl finally arrived at the Heartslabyul dorm, and head straight to where Trey is. The boys also arrived in the dorm. The girl knock on the door and entered while the boys take a break and catch their breath before entering.

"Pardon the intrusion," Y/n said as she saw her friend laying on the bed, with Cater setting on a chair beside him. "Cater-senpai, you're here too."

"Clover, are you alright?" Deuce asked as they entered the room.

"Yo, glasses! We heard you're down in the dumps and came to pay our respects!" Grim jumps in the bed.

"Oh, it's the A-Deuce combo. Plus Grim, Lucas, Celestia, and Princess in tow." Cater waved his hand.

"Ah, hello... Cater, what's that A-Deuce thing?" Ace asked.

Y/N POV

"Huh? It's cause both of your names end in'-ce' so I put them together." Cater explain.

"Don't be lazy!" Deuce replied.

"More importantly, how is Trey's injury?" Ace asked as I seat next to Trey.

"What happened to you? How did you get hurt?" I asked.

"Ah. I misstepped going down the stairs." Trey turn to me, "I did my best to catch myself but my right foot is toast, I'll be on crutches for a while."

"Eh! That's a pretty bad injury." Deuce exclaim.

"You can say that again," Celestia said.

"I'm probably completely out of this year's magift games." Trey sighed.

"I wasn't gonna do this if it wasn't a big deal but... Here. A get-well can of tune. Keep your chin up, glasses." Grim trying to cheer Trey up, by giving him a can of tuna.

"Grim! I don't think, a can of tuna will heal everything." I told the raccoon. Celestia and Lucas tried to hold a laugh while looking away.

"Haha, thanks a bunch." Trey giggles a bit and still accepts Grim offer.

"It's probably for the best, you should rest then, move a lot. It might dislocate your joints." I told Trey.

"Those are the exact words, what the nurse told me," Trey said.

"Ugh, cut me some slack. Our star player, Trey, is out makes everything harder, and we have to have tryouts again." Cater complained.

"Tryouts?" Ace and Deuce said in unison. Celestia, Lucas, Grim, and I turn to the duo confused.

'What are they trying to do now?' I thought to myself and sighed. I grabbed a pillow and was about to place it under Trey's injured leg when all of sudden a male voice pop up inside the room.

"What are you all doing? Taking over an injured person's room..." The red-haired male entered the room. That causes me to give a surprise, and accidentally throw the pillow at the person.

"HUH!?" Everyone flinched, at how I throw a pillow at Riddle's face.

"Ffgna! Hot-headed Riddle!" Grim shouted as he hide me.

"Oops, sorry about that Riddle. You just appeared out of nowhere." I said.

Riddle grabs the pillow from the floor, "Hot head, huh. I won't get angry if all don't break the rules. Or throwing a pillow at my face." The red mid-length-haired boy walks toward us.

Riddle walks to Trey, "Trey, how are you? Is there anything you want to eat or drink?"

"Didn't I tell you to not worry about me so much?" Trey told Riddle with a smile on his face.

"But, it's my fault you got hurt..." Riddle mumbled. As my eyes turned wide open.

"What does that mean?" Ace and Celestia asked.

"Master Riddle, can you please explain in more ideal," Lucas said.

"I had something to take care of so I went to the 3-year classrooms during lunch. Then..." Riddle explains, what happened.

"I'll be a little so start magift practice without me," Riddle told Trey.

"Sure," Trey replied as he nodded.

"See you later... Wha!?" Riddle starts to lose balance in his steps.

"Riddle! Watch out!" Trey runs toward Riddle to save him, in the end. Trey ends up, hurting himself.

｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡🦁[ END FLASHBACK ]🦁｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡

"Trey went out of his way to keep me from falling down the stairs and got injured..." Riddle finally finish explaining everything, and he felt guilty for what happened.

"I'd think you'd be good at falling after flight class." Trey made a joke, and I just sighed at the joke. "I sprained my ankle. That's nobody's fault."

"But..."

'Trey is right. This is nobody's fault or an accident, so who is making this fools things... whoever it is, I must put a stop to the person making this.' Y/n placed her index on her chin. As I was deep in my thought, Ace gently top my shoulder and whispered.

"Y/n is this..."

"I don't think it's carelessness." Y/n said, 'This is getting suspicious.'

"Now now, Riddle! Not getting all gloomy, alright?" Cater cheering Riddle up, "It sucks what happened to Trey but you'll just have to fill in his part as well."

"Ah, yes. You're right." Riddle replied.

"I think it's about time to let Trey get his rest. Outta here everyone" Cater told everyone, as he pushed Ace and deuce outside while Riddle, Lucas, and Celestia followed from behind.

"Trey, if it's alright. I want to try a healing spell in your injury to make it, feel better." Y/n asked, as trey smiled and nodded.

"Sure," Y/n place both her hand on Trey's injured leg and starts casting a spell on Trey's injury. As she finished casting the spell, Trey felt his injury have been fully healed.

"Amazing!? The spell that you use is on another level, higher than the 3rd-year level. how did you learn that spell?" Trey asked in surprise.

"By studying hard! I also keep injuring myself, a while back." I said, "Now get some more rest, I will try to come here to check on you."

"You..." Trey sighed, "You know, Y/n. You are starting to act, as a mother now."

"No, I am not," Y/n said, flattered. "See you, Trey." The girl left the room and went to the other were in the lounge.

"Alright, Cater. Is there something you don't want to talk about in front of Trey?" Riddle asked as the others look at the two confused.

"Very nice, Riddle. You catch on quick." Cater said, then he turned to Y/n. "Y/n, do you know anything about how Trey got hurt?"

'So he noticed me and Ace, whispering a while ago.' Y/n thought to herself. She crossed her arms, "Yes, actually..." The girl soon started to explain, about the investigation that the birdman put them into.
