A loud voice shouted while being crushed under a large pot along with burning a little. What was going on? Well, the 3 idiots and Yuuna were luring a overblot monster away from the mines so they can get the magestone. And they have currently trapped it.
The shout made Deuce and Ace widen their eyes along with Yuuna who was facing the monster. What freaked them out the most was that it was still moving. "eek!" screamed Yuuna and Grim. "For real?! It still has the strength to move?!" shouted Ace as the group ran away. Suddenly the monster raised its arm up and smashed towards the ground, grabbing Ace and Duce, making them fall.
"Ace! Deuce!" Yuuna looked back in worry as the monster was dripping blot everywhere. "Stone...MINE!" It stated. "" it screamed. Ace and Deuce looked at the monster in fear.
"W-what should I do..." Yuuna mumbled. She tried to come up with a way to help Deuce and Ace. 'I-I got it!' she thought as she laid her hand on in front of her, as a bright light formed over her hands with a blazing aura. It seems Grim had an idea as well. "Stay away from them!" Yuuna shouted as both Grim and her used magic to shoot a ball of fire that was pale but with a swirl of colors and blue from the magic. It immediately scorched the overblot monster as it screamed in pain, giving Deuce and Ace time to get away as Yuuna and Grim watched in horror as the monster engulfed in flames. "" but then is stopped when the ink began to bubble as it cracked the glass that took the shape of the overblot monster's head, and collapsed.
Suddenly, Deuce and Ace when they heard a voice. "Pathetic...honestly, why is a monster like this giving you all so much trouble?" it was Riddle, who stood fiercely a few feet from the group in the Heartsybul housewarden uniform. Behind them, were two unfamiliar students along with Y/n who only waved in delight, "Yahoo" she treated. She was also in the new Amaryllis housewarden uniform. She basically screamed elegance as she held a feathered fan made from phoenix feathers that covered her month, standing like an elegant noble lady.
"Y/n! Housewarden...!" Deuce started off, "You came to our rescue? Thank you very much!" he thanked as Riddle looked down on Deuce and Ace who were on the floor, as Yuuna and Grim stood in shock.
"huh...rescue, you say...?" Riddle mumbled as Riddle walked in front of Deuce. "I've no reason to support rulebreakers," he said as Deuce's hope was shattered a bit. "Ace Trappola. Deuce Spade" he called, as Yuuna and Y/n sweatdropped about what was about to come.
"You violated the decrees of the queen of hearts, rule 304: " Riddle yelled angrily towards the duo as they flinched in shock. Riddle snapped.
"wha-" Yuuna gasped.
"Hedge...hogs?"
"A song from sneezing??" both Ace and Deuce were confused. Along with Yuuna and Grim.
"There were reports of a hedgehog sneezing at exactly 4 o'clock today. Everyone in our dorm assembled to perform. You were the only two absent! This is a serious offence!!" Riddle informed them as Y/n looked towards Yuuna who was mumbling. "Offense, huh...how about the broken chandelier?" she dumbfounded. "yea..this is stupid" Grim mumbled. Riddle didn't hear it but due to Y/n being half Levia-fae, she was able to hear it as she chuckled quietly.

""
"eh?!" yelped Deuce and Ace who had been collared.
"Trey. Cater. Take them to the dorm." ordered Riddle. "Yes, dorm leader.." they both said nonchalantly as they walked towards Deuce and Ace, grabbing them.
"Wait! This doesn't make any sense!" questioned Ace as Cater grabbed his arm with a smile "Resist and it'll hurt" he told them.
"Please, wait! We still have to.." Deuce panicked a bit, they still haven't grabbed the magestone. "Sorry. Housewarden's orders." Trey nervously smiled as they both dragged Ace and Deuce back to the mirror that lead to the college.
When Riddle was about to leave, "P-please wait. What are you going to do with them?" Yuuna asked.
Riddle turned to face her and glared, "This has nothing to do with you. This is Heartslabyul's matter. If you don't want to be beheaded as well, you better return to school soon with Y/n" he said and then left the group.
'A strong wrath and a fierce fire...' thought Y/n
'Back then...I had no way of knowing that's how he would come to be known as ' thought Yuuna, who was staring at his fire blazing aura.
"I guess you can see it as well, Yuu?" Y/n asked. Yuuna nodded. "You still need to get the magestone...let's go"
"Alright" Yuuna and Grim followed Y/n back inside of the cave. When Yuuna found the magestone again, she used a pickaxe to carve it out of the stone. She grabbed the stone as soon as it was free.
"So this is a magestone...that monster really was guarding them." Yuuna mumbled as Grim tried to snatch it out of her hand, "Hand that over!!"
"Grim. We're bringing this back to school. We can't let Ace and Deuce be expelled" Y/n scolded the raccoon as he lay on the floor after failing to grab the stone from Yuuna who moved her hand away.
"But I deserve it after all that hard work!" Grim shouted as he kept trying to grab the stone from Yuuna who only move her arms higher. After a few minutes of struggling, Grim was panting from exhaustion, and then collapsed on the floor. "Fnyaaaaah..."
"What's wrong Grim?" asked Yuuna as Y/n only stared at him with a blank look at her face. "ha...I used to much energy and magic, so now I'm hungry....give me a can of tuna..." he whined a bit as he smelled something coming from outside of the cave.
"Somethin' kinda smells real good." Grim mumbled as he got up a bit. Yuuna and Y/n sniffed the air a bit but couldn't smell anything.
"I don't smell anything like foo-"
"It's coming from outside!" Grim dashed out of the cave, having both of the girls running after him.
"I found it!" he alerted the girls. It was a black stone.
"It's just a black stone Grim..." Yuuna dumbfounded.
"Is that what's left of the monster?" asked Y/n
"Hmm, might be some sorta candy it was trying to hide!" Grim stomach began to grumble as drool was coming from his month. "Yumm! I can't hold back!" Grim shoved the black stone into his mouth, making a crunch.
"Grim! Don't eat stuff off the floor! That's horrible manners!" Y/n scolded him who continued to chew of the rock.
"urgh!"
"Grim! You okay?! She told you to not eat anything off the floor" Yuuna asked.
"uh...ugh.."
"Grim?"
"This is delicious!" Grim smiled, making Y/n and Yuuna give a disgusted look.

"It's so rich and flavorful! With an aromatic sweetness that blooms on my tongue! It's like a whole flower bloomed in my mouth!"
"As long as you don't hurt your stomach..." mumbled Yuuna.
"Let's just head back to school..."
"Alright" Yuuna picked up Grim as he continued to eat his rock.
[meanwhile....in heartslabyul's dorm]
Inside of the courtroom, sat a collared Deuce and Ace, as Riddle was standing above them in a judge's chair with Trey and Cater standing towards the side.
"Violating the rules so soon after your enrollment...this year's freshmen have yet to know their place. Espceially towards Her Majesty, Y/n Chione" Riddle glared at the idiotic boys.
"Our sincerest apologies, housewarden!" Deuce bowed as Ace just looked bored.
"Starting now, I'll enforce our rules" Riddle would hit the floor with his staff. "All present shall stand!" he ordered, making Ace and Deuce confused. "Yes, housewarden!" the students from the dorm marched in a line behind them. as Cater pushed a cart that had a cage with the cute hedgehogs doing their thing.
"Now sing. In honor of her majesty, Empress Y/n of Permafrost, Rubia" Ordered Riddle. "huh" Ace asked.
"Do you not know it? The singer, Rebirth, is quite famous in Twisted Wonderland" asked Riddle.
(Author's note: the song Rubia doesn't belong to me. It belongs to Mihoyo)
"I mean, I know it...but why right now?" Ace asked.
"Bear in mind, rule 304 of the decrees of queen of hearts: . But since you severely injured Y/n, this song shall be for her as well. After all, you two haven't made up for your earlier absence" Riddle spoke.
"Sing...? You brought us all the way just to do that?" argued Ace as the students behind them either flinched in sock or were completely dumbfounded.
"...?!"
"Come on. Stand up." Trey says.
"Just sing already. That is, if you want your collars removed that is" Cater tells them while Trey and Cater both looked at Deuce and Ace with a stoic expression.
They both immediately flinched when they both imagined Y/n ice cold look.
They both stood up and began to sing along with the students
"Life blooms like a flower
far away or by the road
waiting for the one
to find a way back home
Rain falls a thousand times
no footprints of come-and-go
You who once went by
Where will you belong?
I feel your sigh and breath
In the last blow of wind
Not yet for the story on the last page
It's not the end"
Riddle smiled happily "Bravo! It's a beautiful melody, no matter how many times I hear it!" he praised them.
He held his staff and released Ace and Deuce from their collars. "For now, I'll remove those collars around your necks."
"Back to your rooms to get ready for bed. You are all dismissed!" Trey says as the students left the courtroom. Riddle spoke before Ace and Deuce were able to leave.
"I'm not done with you two just yet. You're to write a 5,000 words essay for having disobeyed the rules of the queen of hearts. And I expect you to submit it by tomorrow evening" Riddle informed.
"F-five thousand...?!" Ace and Deuce yelped a bit, as they looked at Riddle in fear. "You'd do well to learn that swiftly if you don't wish to lose your heads again. Move forward and act in a way that upholds the dorm's name" Riddle informed.
"Understood?" he asked in a dark tone. "Y-yes, Housewarden..." Deuce and Ace nodded.
[At the Headmaster's office]
"Y-You actually went to the Dwarf's mine to search for the magestone?!" the Headmaster gasped as Yuuna and Y/n were dumbfounded.
"ah, well. I never imagine you'd really go there...nor did I expect you to return with the magestone...I was solemnly proceeding with the expulsion documents"
"Have some more faith Headmaster" Y/n sighed in annoyance.
"fyahh! Are you serious?! While we were fighting some crazy monster for you, you were expelling us?!" shouted Grim.
"Mhm. There was a monster in the mine. It almost killed us!" Yuuna informed Crowley.
"ara? Would you kindly relate this story in full detail?" asked Crowley as Yuuna nodded. Yuuna began to explain the events in the mine in full detail as best as she could.
"Hmm. So a mysterious monster was living in the mines," Yuuna was out of breath from having to explain so much...
"So the four of you worked together to destroy it, and then Ace and Deuce were taken back to their dorm...so you brought the magestone back to me?" Crowley asked.
"ahaha...at first, they didn't cooperate with each other, but I encouraged them" Yuuna chuckled nervously as Y/n smiled.
"Oh, gracious...ohhhh....oooohh!!" the headmaster began sobbing as Y/n held herself from laughing.
"What is this guy's deal?! Burstin' into tears in public? At this age?!"
"In all the years I have dedicated to being headmaster...Who would've imagined I'd ever see the day that Night Raven College students went hand-hand and succeed!" sobbed the Heasdmaster.
"You are a headmaster, right...?" Yuuna asked.
Crowley then cleared his throat, "I'm simply overwhelmed with emotion. This concludes something for me. Yuuna, not only do you have the mana of a powerful enchantress, you undoubtedly have the talent as a beast tamer as well!"
"huh? I don't understand?" poor Yuuna was so confused.
Y/n smiled at Yuuna and explained things to her. "Indeed. Night Raven college's students, the chosen few, are all talented magicians I hear. But, they tend to be utterly unwilling to cooperate with others due to that very excellence that gives them pride. Quite a lot of them are self-centered and egoistic individuals"
"You haven't said anything positive" Grim sweatdropped.
The Headmaster got up from his seat and walked towards the two females and the raccoon. "You are capable of using magic equivalent to the great five magicians, and you and Miss Chione are the only females in school...I believe this is exactly what our campus needs! I have no doubt in my mind that you, Miss Yuuna, with the help of Miss Chione, are essential for the future of this academy. My intuition as an educator tells me so." Crowley says with glee, before thinking for a moment.
"Trappola and Spade...I shall cancel their expulsion along with me granting you, Miss Yuuna, the opportunity to attend school with Miss Chione as a student AND dorm member of Amaryliss dormitory!" Crowley announced as Yuuna and Grim's eyes widened.
"Wha?!" Grim was clearly shocked.
"A-as a student...like [nickname]?" Yuuna stuttered a bit, she was clearly happy about this.
"Indeed! For I am exceedingly gracious" he complimented himself.
"Having said that, there is one condition. As long as you watch over Grim, I'll allow the two of you to enroll as one student together" as soon as those words left Crowley's mouth, Grim was even more shocked.
"eh? I-I'm gonna get to go to school...? really...?" Grim was almost on the verge of tears as Yuuna bend down, doing the Asian squat, and started to pat Grim's head.
"Congrats Grim! You get to have a chance to become a great magician!" Yuuna exclaimed as Y/n smiled brightly. Two new members have been added to the new Amaryliss dorm.
"Yuuna...Y/n....Fnyahhh!!! I get to go! I did it!" Grim jumped happily, making everyone in the room smile.
"We are so happy for you Grim" Y/n did a toothy smile, showing her cute canines.
"Mhm. Accordingly, I will now present to Yuuna and Grim the magestone that is issued to every student here" Crowley says waving his wand for an icy blue gem attached to Grim's collar, making the colors turn from black and white to the colors of Amaryllis. And as from Yuuna, a magic pen appeared in her hands that has the same color as Grim's attached to it. Y/n doesn't need a magestone attached to her magic pen because she doesn't need one. Too great.
"A-a Magestone?!" exclaimed Grim
"Our students primarily use theirs inside magic pens like for Miss Yuuna, bit, I assume you'd find it difficult to grip them with those paws. so this is custom-made" Crowley explains to Grim who was hugging his Gem, ignoring how Crowley talks about how gracious he is for paying attention to the smallest details.
"Yay! I'm so cool! My very own magestone!" he sang.
"He isn't listening at all..." Y/n mumbled as Crowley seemed to have the same thought as well.
"Honestly...one can't be too careful" Y/n started off.
"Exactly. Grim is still new to human society. Since he is your familiar, it's up to you to keep him on a short leash and supervise him to prevent any further disturbances!" Crowley says at Yuuna as she nods her head.
"Don't go holdin' me back, got it?"
"At last..." Grim shivers from excitement.
"At last! My glorious days as a student at Night raven college are finally gonna begin!"
Yuuna and Grim graduate from being a Handyman!!
