"Now, Now, boys! There will be no yelling in the Library!" It was Crowley. He was yelling as well...

Trey and Ace immediately turned toward the headmaster.

"Ah- sorry Headmaster" Yuuna flinched when she heard Crowley's sudden yells. "jeez, ya scared me...you're the loud one here" Grim sweatdropped towards the Crow. "Ahm..my apologies" he cleared his throat before speaking ones again.

"There was an anful racet, you see. Would you care to explain this little get-to-together" Crowley asked. "Well, since you asked.."

They then started to explain the details to the headmaster who listened carefully.

"Ah...I believe I understand the situation. You aren't keen on apologizing to get the collar removed, nor are you raring to quietly surrender to Rosehearts..." Crowley summarized everything the group told him so far.

"Pretty much" Ace sighed. "Hmm, why not apply for a dorm transfer?" Yuuna asked Ace.

"Well, the dark mirror selects your dorm based on the quality of your soul. There are tideous procedures and rituals that can help with such a onerous task..." Crowley explained a bit more.

"Transfer, huh.." Ace thought about it, scratching behind his neck from the collar. "Giving up and running indefeat? How about a no."

Crowley thought for a second, but then had a idea, "The nwhat would you say to challenging him for the seat and becoming housewarden yourself?" and what that, the group was more surprised.

"Become Housewarden?!" Ace and Deuce shouts as Trey and Yuuna widden their eyes at Crowley proposal.

"Shh! Inside voices!" Crowley whispered-yelled at Ace.

"Maybe if you hadn't lost your mind!" Ace whispered-shouted back at the Crowley.

"I assue you, I'm as clear-headed as they come. That said, it's how Mr. Rosehearts came into his position or power" Crowley says.

"For real?"

"Since you brought it up, how are housewardens selected?" asked Yuuna. "We heard that Riddle became head honcho only a week into enrollin'" Grim says.

"There are several methods of inception, for your reference, but the simplest method is engaging in a duel" Crowley engages.

"So an individual's performance is what determines their rank.." Yuuna starts off. "I guess. I heard from my mother that it is the same in the Fatui who roam my homeland" Trey says.

"Isn't magic like, banned in faceoffs?" Ace asked. "Well, for personal vendettas, yes. Formal procedures are a whole other matter. With myself as your witness, we can hold a proper duel." explained Crowley as Yuuna felt nervous for some reason.

"The arranged duel, of course, will have you face each other on equal terms. In other words, you can get that collar removed without an apology" Trey tells them, as Deuce and Ace were shocked.

"You're telling me I can scotfree and snatch his pot?" Ace would let out a cheeky grin.

"Each student upon enrollment, enjoys the right to dispute their housewarden. What you say, Mr. Trappola? Will you make an attempt?" asked Crowley

"I suggest not to do it. You are too weak" a voice says. Everyone flinched in surprise and turn their heads to a male wearing formal clothing, who had feather horns on top of their head, bird wings, and a tail of a lion. He seemed to have a feathered scarf around his neck. He boy looked similar to Riddle, but his eyes where more blue.

Yuuna immediately recognize the boy. "Mochi? What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Mochi? What a lame name!" Ace laughed as Deuce and Trey were shocked on how the boy looked a bit like Riddle. "Don't laugh as me, human! Lady Y/n was young when she named a griffin like me!" Mochi was about to claw the laughing idiot.

"A griffin? What is a griffin doing here?" Trey asked. "And Y/n?"

"Of course! I'm one of the familiars of Lady Y/n chione."

"But why did you call Ace weak?" Yuuna asked. "Oi!"

"Well, he has no control of his magic! Due to that, he injured my lady!" Mochi huffed as his wings flapped in annoyance.

"He is too weak to even lay a hand on that Rose Tyrant"

"Tch! Fine! Here goes nothing! We don't know unless I try" Ace boasted himself from Pride. "Seriously, Ace?! You're getting way over head" Deuce and Mochi exclaimed.

"Shut up! I'll make him apologize like, "I'm soo sorry. I was in the wrong' when I'm housewarden" Ace says.

"Then count me in, too! I always wanted to aim for the top" Deuce says, cracking his knuckled. "Don't forget me!" Grim clenched his fist.

"Alas, only same-dorm students are eligible, Grim" Crowley reminded the cat. "Fnyaa?!"

"How'm I gonna get this collar off?!" he asked, Yuuna looks at Grim with a worried expression. The collar on her was really uncomfortable

"No problem! I'll just get Riddle to take it off when I'm boss~"

Mochi let out a angered sigh, "Won't say I didn't warn him" and with that, Mochi faded away like a regular spirit, as Yuuna wondered where he went.

Yuuna: "What're your odds looking like?"

Ace: "Our opponent's way better with magic.."

Deuce: "Maybe we can settle this with out fist."

Grim: "He does look real puny!"

Crowley: "Oh. And I forgot to mention. Any and all non-magical attacks are completely forbidden in the deul"

With that, Crowley dropped the bomb. Yuuna, Ace, Deuce, and Grim were stunned at this. Crolwet laughed a bit, "A splendid deul that complies with the rules! There is where I take my leave." Crowley bid them adieu.

Trey was nervous about the situation. "Man...going head-to-head with magic...well, whatever, we'll manage." Ace says. "Don't forget my neck's on the line here!" Deuce reminded.

[With Y/n]

The Levia-fae girl was roaming the halls, decided to get her head cleared away due to all that's happening. She then stopped in her tracks, looking inside of the light music room, where a piano was.

'Playing the piano helps clear my head...I guess I could play on piece'

Y/n walked inside, and taking a seat on the piano bench, placing his fingers above the keys. 'what should I play...Oh! That'll do'

If I'm scared and alone,

If I'm hungry and cold,

I will never forget the truth...

I'll think of the days,

When we smiled, when we played

So I'll always remember you...

Y/n began to sing while playing the piece, completely ignoring some passing students who stood by and watched.

And if they stare,

if they hurt me, I swear

That I'll never give up, I'll fight!

No, it's not in vain

This is worth all the pain

And for us, I'll be strong tonight!

Her singing and playing the piano caught the attention of a certain trio. They all listened to her play with elegance and grace.

Do you understand what others see?

Can you tell what's "human"? Family?

Will you give into your destiny?

Can your heart reach out to mine?

Still, inside your eyes, I see the light

I can feel your warmth,

your heart so bright

Even though you've suffered, day and night

Deep inside, I know you're true

Y/n continued to play, taking a breathe to prepare for some high-notes.

I close my eyes and fall into sleep

A place where all my thoughts can rest

As I dream, I see a happy family

With their bonds, so strong, no matter what

With their memories,

their, love, I reach out-

When I'm scared and alone,

When I'm hungry and cold,

I'll never forget the truth if I just...

Think of the days

When we smiled, when we played

So I'll always remember you.

Yes, you understand what others see

Yes you feel emotion, yes you're free

And youunderstand who's family

So our hearts can still connect

And inside your eyes, I see the light

I can feel your warmth,

you heart so bright

Even thought you've suffered day and night

Deep inside, I know you're "you"

She continued.

"There must be a hidden meaning behind Angelfish's song, right, Jade?" his twin asked. "I believe there is a meaning behind it, Floyd" Jade spoke. A certain octo-punk was enchanted by her singing, as if, she's singing only to him.

And if they stare,

If they hurt me, I swear

That I'll never give up

I'll fight with you

No, it's not in vain

This is worth all the pain

And for us, I'll be strong tonight!

She played for a bit, "Yes for us, I'll be strong tonight..."

"She is really good at playing the piano. She should play for Monstro Lounge, don't you think Azul?" Floyd asks.

"Azul?" he asked a second time since there wasn't a response the first time. Azul finally snapped out of his trance, "Ah.. yes. Come one now, we must head back. After all, it's almost dinner.."

"Okay~"

Can you guess what song it is?

Tommrow is the day of the deul...
