'oh no...'

Y/n immediately dashed towards the sound of the crash. It all happened so fast that she even bumped into the headmaster. "Miss Chione, are you alright?" he asked. "Of course, but this isn't about me, this is about that noise" she informed him. "Ah, yes. Let's go"

[meanwhile, with the idiots and Yuuno]

"The chandelier!!" a female screamed. It was Yuuna, who was flabbergasted at the sight in front of her. The group of idiots started to cough from the smoke. Ace groaned in pain from being thrown at the chandelier, laying flat on the ground.

Grim groaned from the pain as well. "Oh, right...! I probably should have come up with a way to soften your landing after you caught him..." Deuce mumbled, sweating bullets.

"You guys are a complete and total moron!" the group flinched at another voice, which belonged to Y/n, who was shocked, they didn't notice the headmaster behind her.

"Y-y/n!" the group shouted in shivered at the sudden change of temperature which was caused by Y/n.

Ace: "Y/n! Please don't tell anyone we broke the chandelier! If the headmaster finds out.."

"If I find out about... what, dear Ace?" asked the Headmaster who moved next to Y/n. "Ah! Headmaster Crowley..!" Ace says.

"YOU. THREE. AGAIN. What have you ALL DONE THIS TIME!!" Crowley asked in anger.

"Myaaah...Everything is spinning.." mumbled Grim, being woozy from the whole fall.

"Almost burning an important statue and hurting a student didn't satisfy you...so you destroyed the chandelier?! This is the final straw! All of you are expelled!"

Yuuna paled a bit as she lowered her head in shame. Even though she wasn't a student, she felt responsible for the whole ordeal for not keeping an eye on Grim.

"Whaaaaat?!" Ace and Deuce shouted together.

Deuce began to panic, "Headmaster, please! Give me a second chance! I can't get expelled from this school! I need to be here!" he begged.

"Then blame yourself for your own foolishness" Y/n snapped towards Deuce who only flinched at her cold tone. "Please let me pay for the damage! I don't care about the price!" he asked.

Crowley let out a sigh, "That chandelier is no mere light fixture. It is a magic chandelier as its candles are powered by a magical energy source to enchant them so they'll burn for eternity. It was created for us by a legendary artificer from Sumeru, possibly their finest creation! It has been here since the school was first established and I imagined it would be here forevermore..." Crowley stated, placing a hand under his chin. "Considering its historical value...I would estimate its worth to be no less than a billion mora in Tevyat currency"

"A-A billion mora?! T-Tevyat's currency...how are we supposed to get mora that isn't even here..."

"B-but I'm sure that Y/n can create another one right?" Ace asked.

Y/n let out a sigh, "I'm not familiar with the chandelier to be able to create another one. Sorry Ace"

"B-but-"

"Even magic has its limits, after all, we can't trouble a deity to fix your guys mess" Yuuna scolded Ace as Crowley agreed with the girl.

"Indeed. Furthermore, it's a magestone, the figurative heart of all magical artifacts was shattered. It cannot be easily replaced. I fear that the candles will never burn again." Crowley explained.

"How can that be..." Ace asked

"What am I going to do...? How am I going to tell my mother...?" at this point, Deuce was on the verge having tearing up, as Yuuna patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Crowley sweatdrops a bit but he immediately thought of a solution, for he is ever so graceous. "But there may be one way. One tiny sliver of a chance to repair this chandelier."

"There is?!" Ace and Deuce yelped in shock by this sudden hope.

"The magestone that powered this chandelier was mined from the Dwarfs' mine. If you can acquire a magestone with the same properties, it may be possible to repair it"

Deuce's demeanor changed from heartbroken to a look of new determination. "Then I shall go find a magestone! Please allow me to go!"

Y/n smiled nervously a bit, "The Mines are quite old as it's been closed for some time. There is only a slim chance o you finding a magestone"

"B-but there has to be at least a few left, right?" Yuuna spoke up to Y/n and Crowley.

"Mhm! I will do anything to avoid expulsion, sir!" Deuce nearly yelled a bit.

Crowley sighed in defeat, as he can't ignore their pleas. "Very well then. I will suspend your expulsion for a single night. But if you fail to return with a magestone by morning, then all of you are expelled"

"I understand, sir! Thank you very much for this opportunity!" Deuce thanked as Yuuno sighed in relief.

Ace let out a tired sigh. "Alright then..Let's hurry down there, find a magestone, and get this whole thing done with" he groaned a bit.

"Ah yes. You should be able to reach the Dwarfs' Mine instant;y by using one of the gates in the Mirror chamber," explained Crowley.

"Mhm. Now now, run along now guys" Y/n made a shoo motion with her hands.

"Yes, ma'am!" Deuce and Ace shouted as they impatiently rushed towards the Mirror chamber. Yuuna sighed a bit and picked up Grim, "Myah! Wh-? Where am I?" he asked as Yuuna followed Ace and Deuce with Grim in her arms.

She chuckled nervously at the raccoon cat. "You may end up wishing you'd remain unconscious"

"Myaah?!"

[meanwhile, with Crowley and Y/n]

"Hahaha, that sure was entertaining" Y/n laughed as Crowley huffed in annoyance. "This is no laughing matter. At least help me clean up this mess?"

"Alright. As you wish" Y/n began using magic to start fixing the chandelier in preparation for the magestone as Crowley cleaned up the broken shards on the ground.

After about 10 minutes of cleaning, they were done. "Now, follow me Miss Chione to my office, we should inform Mr. Rosehearts of this"

"Alright. After you"

[Timeskip to the headmaster's office]

"What was that?" a voice asked, completely in shock as he stared at Y/n who was standing to the side of Crowley's desk as he sat in his grand chair. "Not only did Ace and that raccoon almost scorched a great seven statue...hurting a female student...Ace and Deuce broke the chandelier...?!" the voice shouted in shock. The voice belonged to Riddle.

"Are you alright Miss Y/n?" asked Riddle, as he checked for any visible injuries on the girl. She smiled kindly towards Riddle and grabbed his hands in reassurance, "I'm alright Rosehearts. My injuries will be completely healed by tomorrow"

"Please, no need for such formal talk due to us being students, call me Riddle"

"Alright, Riddle" she smiled as Riddle blushed softly. No one has smiled so kindly toward him ever since he became Housewarden.

Riddle cleared his throat a bit as he bowed towards Y/n and the Headmaster, "I sincerely apologize for the trouble that my dorm has caused." he apologized on their behalf as Y/n chuckled. "There is no need to apologize for something that those idiots caused, Riddle. After all, they are currently heading to the Dwarf mines as punishment," spoke Y/n.

"Indeed. They'll surely be back by morning. Y/n, feel free to walk with Riddle back to Heartslabyul" informed Crowley.

"of course. Shall we go, Riddle?" Y/n asked. "Certainly"

Both Riddle and Y/n excused themselves as they walked out of the headmaster's office.

"Tch. What were they thinking, so shortly after enrolling?!" Riddle fumed in anger as he walked towards the Hall of mirrors. "I absolutely will not tolerate any rile breaking! They need to be punished, along with that other female and raccoon!"

"Fufufu, I'm sure that the verdict can wait" spoke Y/n as Riddle only gritted his teeth, "I'll personally see their beheadings myself!!"
