《Winter Wonderland》The Usurper from the wilds: Part 11

Once they arrived at the Cafeteria, they stood by the door, looking around for Jamil. "Jamil has long, black hair. Let's see..." Cater looked around. "There he is" Y/n pointed towards the direction of the vice housewarden of Scarabia. "Wow! Your right. Levia-fae's really do have a good sense of sight" Cater praised.

"Thank you for the compliment," Y/n said as the group walked towards the location of Jamil Viper. "You're the guy who got banged up in the kitchen yesterday, right? Mind if we chat?" Grim yelled, hopping onto the table where Jamil was sitting at with another student, Kalim.

"Oh, Grim..." Y/n facepalmed.

"What is this? An inquisition?" Jamil looked up from his injured hand, frowning a little.

Kalim jumped at the sight of Grim, recognizing the raccoon immediately. "Oh, hey! That's the raccoon who set my rear on fire at orientation!"

Yuuna let out a sigh and picked Grim, holding him like a teddy bear. Riddle turned towards Grim, glaring at him, as Y/n did the same. "Grim. You need to work on your tone. Tact is important for these sorts of things"

"Please forgive the member of my dorm for interrupting your breakfast.." Y/n apologized.

"Wow, the Heartslabyul Housewarden and fire-spitting raccoon. Haha, what a fun combo!" Kalim laughed. "And our frost empress came as well," he said happily.

"I ain't a raccoon! The name's Grim! And those two are my minions, Yuuna and Y/n-ow!" Grim whimpered in pain when Y/n flicked his forehead

"I shall correct this fool here. I'm the Housewarden of Amaryllis, Y/n Chione. Grim is one of my residents, nothing more, nothing less" Y/n clarified. "We met during the Housewarden meeting, remember?" she asked.

"Huh! No wonder I recognize you! I'm Kalim, Scarabia's housewarden. And that's the vice housewarden, Jamil. Nice to officially meet you, Y/n" Kalim smiled, as bright as the sun.

"And I'm Yuuna Enma, the vice housewarden of Amaryllis" Yuuna introduced herself. Kalim had a slight blush. "Nice to meet you too, Yuuna-chan!" Kalim spoke enthusiastically. Yuuna nodded, giving a gentle smile to the boy.

Grim froze in Yuuna's arms. "Uh, sure. Man, this guy throws me off." Everyone ignored Grim's comment. "So, why are you asking about my accident?" Jamil asked the group with a puzzled expression.

"The headmaster ordered Amaryllis to investigate the recent accidents which are happening only to top players of the tournament" Y/n answered Jamil, feeling a warm feeling on her back.

"The Headmaster? huh...well, okay" Jamil was skeptical at first but he started to explain the events that lead up to his injury.

"Last night, I was in the kitchen frying up some lamb rolls at Kalim's request," Jamil spoke as Kalim interrupted him. "Oh man, you guys have NO idea how amazing Jamil's lamb rolls are. You've gotta try'em one day."

"Can we stay focused here, Kalim" Jamil reminded.

"Ah, right. Sorry!" Kalim apologized, causing Yuuna to giggle.

"When I was chopping the ingredients, it was like my knife hand went wild and cut my other hand all on its own" Jamil winced at the memory.

"That's terrible..." Yuuna mumbled, feeling bad for him.

"It makes no sense! Even the dorm's head chef can attest to Jamil's legendary knife skills. Were you tired from the Spelldrive, maybe?" Kalim asked.

Jamil shook his head. "No, Not so tired I couldn't control my hands. But at one point while I was cooking, I did feel kind of light-headed."

"You got dizzy?" Y/n questioned, crossing her arms, having a serious look on her face.

Jamil shook his head again. "Most people would think that, but I know that sensation. I think I was feeling the effects of someone's signature spell"

Everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

"oh, right! Because your signature spell is- MMPH!!" Jamil shot his hand in front of Kalim's mouth. Y/n and Yuuna were surprised by this explosive gesture from the oh-so calm vice housewarden.

Kalim didn't look too happy about that. "Pfffffft! Why'd you put your hand over my mouth?!" he asked. "Because we're not talking about me here." Jamil huffed. He turned back to the group, with a calmer demeanor.

"Anyway, my theory is that someone was controlling my movements with magic" Jamil continued.

"Interesting..." Cater mumbled. "That WOULD be a way to hurt people without the use of dark magic...and to have it appear like it was nothing more than the victim's own carelessness"

"And if it only lasted an instant, even the victim might perceive it as his own mistake..." Y/n added.

Riddle agreed. "When I nearly fell down the stairs, I never felt as though I was being controlled against my will."

"Well, I guess this is kind of a lead? What's our next move, guys?" Cater asked.

"A spell that can control someone that isn't dark magic..." Grim mumbled. "If I could learn how to cast that, I could really clean up on bakery day!" Grim spoke excitedly.

"Such small-mindedness...truly, Grim?" Riddle huffed in annoyance. "That's as far as your ambitions extend?" he asked.

"Man, imagine eating all the deluxe grilled cheese I wanted-huh?" Grim cut himself off.

"Speaking of deluxe grilled cheese(Bakery day)...." Y/n and Yuuna mumbled to themselves

"Might you be willing to trade your deluxe grilled cheese for this very exciting hot dog bun?"

"Whaat?!" Grim looked offended that the foolish hyena dare to ask such a question. "You must be outta your mind, dude!"

"Oh, come now. Let's not be like that~" the Hyena boy held out his hand with the bun. "Here, have a hot dog bun, I insist"

To everyone's surprise, minus Y/n, who knew this would happen, Grim 'involuntarily hands over his prized grilled cheese sandwich. "Myah? What in the name of tuna...?! My paws and movin' on their own!" Grim shouts.

Y/n and Yuuna's eyes widen, remembering a certain situation.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Grim shrieked, making everyone flinch in surprise, and Y/n covered her ears. "WHOA! Why are we screaming?!" Kalim shouts.

"jeez...I thought my eardrums just burst.." Y/n mumbled. Riddle glared at Grim, "Grim, remember that my rose is a Levia-fae, meaning, their ears are more sensitive to loud sound!" he shouts.

"S-sorry!" Grim yelped in surprise as well. He cleared his throat, "I, Grim, Expert Detective, have solved the case! I know who's got that signature spell"

"what?" questioned Riddle.

"The culprit is...one of us!" Yuuna joked. "take this more seriously, Yuuna.." Y/n laughed.

"Myahahahahaha! So you've found me out, have you" Grim went along with the joke. "That's right, the culprit was me all alo- THIS AIN'T NO TIME FOR MESSIN' AROUND!" Grim said, poking Yuuna's face with his paw.

"The culprit is Ruggie Bucchi is what Grim was taking to say," Y/n said.

"Ruggie? That lil' dude from Savanaclaw?" Cater asked.

"Duh!" shouted Grim.

Riddle nodded. "Let's track him down and see what he has to say" Riddle exclaimed. "Hmm...Looks like Ruggie's in class 2B" Cater tells the group.

"Thank you both for your cooperation!" Riddle thanked, taking Y/n's hand as everyone quickly ran off to find Ruggie, leaving the two Scarabia students alone.

"I'm still kinda lost here, but good luck!" Kalim shouts towards them.

"All right, where's Ruggie Bucchi?!" Grim asks bursting through the door, scaring some students who were inside of the class, getting ready for class.

"Right here~" a voice spoke, walking towards the group. "Ah...it's you guys again. I really hope this isn't about that deluxe grilled cheese. We traded fair and square" Ruggie says, placing a hand on his hip.

"Ruggie Bucchi, we need to ask you some questions about the spate of injuries that have befallen prospective Spelldrive tournament players," Riddle says, glaring daggers at the Hyena, as Y/n did the same, but icier.

"Oh ho. This sounds like some serious business..." Ruggie mumbled.

"How about we move to the hall and keep this in figurative DMs if you catch my drift?" Cater asked, his smile curving into a more disturbing one.

"We don't want to do this hard way, do we?~" Y/n cooed, having a threatening smile scarier than Cater. Ruggie shivered and sighed. "I'm cooperating. Let's all try to be gentlemen and ladies, now" Ruggie sweatdropped.

They all moved outside of the class, into the interior hallway. Y/n stood next to Riddle with Yuuna on the other side Grim on her shoulder and Cater on the other side of Yuuna.

"Very well. While we do not yet know exactly what transpired, it is abundantly clear that your signature spell is just as dangerous as dark magic, I will be casting "Off with your head" to-" Riddle spoke.

"But Riddle," Ruggie began, interrupting the red-head. "Are you sure you should be casting such a powerful spell without your magical pen?" he asked with a taunting smile, making Riddle's eyes widen.

"huh? wait...what?!" Riddle panicked, reaching to his chest pocket, feeling nothing by emptiness. "What happened to my magical pen?!" he gasped.

"Hey, Cater! Your pen's gone too!" Grim shouts, noticing Cater's empty chest pocket.

"You're kidding me! How?!" Cater asked as Yuuna was surprised as well.

"Shihihihi! Children of privilege, every one of you" Ruggie laughed, causing Y/n to grit her teeth. "So unprepared. So complacent. Like stealing candy from a baby"

The comment kinda hurt Yuuna a bit, feeling her chest area only to sigh in relief that hers is still safe. Y/n did the same thing, checking her miniature version of her staff that she summons instead of putting her hand in his bra just to take it out. Too weird, but it was safe.

"Myah?! He cast his spell to snatch your pens away without us even noticing?!" Grim stuttered.

"Puh-lease. As if I'd need magic to do that!" Ruggie told them and pointed to Yuuna and Y/n. "But I couldn't get to theirs, it was way too risky considering where it's hidden. That's pretty smart, Shihi" Ruggie told the,

"huh? What does he mean, Y/n?" Riddle asked the Levia-fae. "Ara? Do you really want to know?~" Y/n asked, as Riddle nodded.

"well, okay, I'll show you," Y/n said, pulling down her shirt, revealing the top of her miniature staff, causing everyone to blush and look away. "P-put your shirt up!" Riddle said, pulling Y/n's shirt back in place, causing the girl to chuckle.

"H-how about Yuuna?" Cater asked. "O-oh...m-mine is.." Yuuna stuttered but pointed to her breast, making certain boys redder.

"oh..." was all Cater and Ruggie said.

"A-anyway...having a showdown in the hallway is not on my agenda for today, so I'll be on my way. I'll be taking Yuu-chan here. Toodles!" Ruggie smiled before running off quickly.

"eh? W-wha!? I can't control my body! [nickname] help me!" Yuuna shouts as Ruggie's unique magic causes the girl to run along with him.

"Yuu!" Y/n called out to him as the group began to chase them.

"Hold it right there!" Grim shouts.

"Curse you!" Riddle grits his teeth in anger. "You will halt if you value your head! 'Off with-"

"Whoa, Riddle, stop! Don't be a hero, man!" Cater interrupted him

"I agree. You just recovered from an overblot, so refrain from using too much magic" Y/n ordered. Riddle knew his wife was right, so he nodded.

Meanwhile, with the two brain cells.

"Dude, your flamingo-feeding outfit was insane. Who knew they made leopard print in hot pink?" Ace snickered.

"L-look, it's not like I had a choice! It's all I had in pink!" Deuce exclaims, blushing in embarrassment.

"I can't believe we still gotta follow weird rules like that." Ace sighed. "But I guess it's better than it was" he continued, as Cater called out to them as Ruggie passed the two boys.

"huh?"

"Oh! Ace, Deuce! You boys are a sight for sore eyes!" Cater shouts.

"huh? What's going on? Why are you running?" Ace asked.

"The culprit! He's getting away!" Y/n shouts back.

"You need to apprehend Ruggie Bucchi immediately! Housewarden's orders!" Riddle shouts in anger, face completely red in anger.

"Whaaat?!" Deuce gasped.

"What does this gotta do with us?!" Ace asked.

"Yuuna is with him! He is controlling her as well!" Y/n shouts, and with that, the idiots were convinced and began running after Ruggie. But they were too slow... "I hope you guys know how to ice skate!" Y/n shouts, using her magic to summon ice skates to appear on everyone's feet, minus Cater and Riddle since they were busy catching their breaths.

"wha-" Deuce exclaims, almost falling over but getting the hang of it as he and Ace, along with Y/n and Grim trailing behind start ice staking towards Ruggie.

"Myah! We've got you now!" Grim said, skating over to Ruggie who was pinning Yuuna against the wall with her arms above her head. "What, you think some freshmen and a raccoon can catch me?" Ruggie snickered.

"Oi! Let go of Yuuna!" Ace shouts angrily, skating in front of Ruggie to block him as Deuce did the same. Y/n was catching up after deciding to help Cater and Riddle catch up as well.

"All of you look as slow as molasses, even if you skate your way over here!" Ruggie laughed.

Grim let out a hiss "I am NOT a raccoon!"

"Ace, Deuce, and Grim" Yuuna smiled in relief.

"Hold on, Yuu, we'll have him let you go!" Deuce says.

"The only one who is allowed to touch her like that is me!" Ace shouts at Ruggie, pointing a finger at him.

"Wait did I just hear?" Y/n shouts from behind them, causing them to flinch, giving Ruggie a chance to escape with Yuuna following with his unique magic.

"S-save it! We got work to do!" Ace shouts, as the trio skate after him, casting spells to have Ruggie stop, but it was futile since Ruggie just kept dodging.

"I thought you Heartslabyul guys were nothin' but tea-partying softies" Ruggie laughed, having stopped running with Yuuna due to the sight of them getting tired. "But y'know something? Color me impressed. I take it all back"

"Keep talkin'. I'm this close to wiping that smug grin off your face" Deuce said, having a irk mark on the side of his face.

"Would you just let us nap you already? I don't wanna lose my head again, thanks!" Ace complained.

"If you want me so bad, then maybe you should work harder to catch me!" Ruggie smirked and once again, Yuuna was under Ruggie's control, running away again.

"How do you like THIS?!" Deuce used his magic to aim at Ruggie. It was about to hit Yuuna, and Ruggie pulled Yuuna towards him to dodge.

"Yipe! That was close. O-okay, yeah. Maybe that one was a little fur-raisin'...but unlike you guys, I'm not on my last legs! Byee!" Ruggie said, before running away with Yuuna again. The poor girl was dead tired.

"Hah...hah" Ace panted. "H-how's he not even winded after all that running?!"

"Don't worry, I will handle this" Y/n said, with Riddle and Cater standing behind her.

"A-alright"

Y/n skated ahead as the others who were behind, Y/n was just as fast as Ruggie, causing the boy to yelp in fear. Y/n suddenly stopped, but immediately disappear from her spot, leaving a crater behind. Y/n kicked off from the floor as she was just right behind the boy, raising her leg up, slamming on the ground if Ruggie didn't manage to dodge in time, causing him to lose grip on Yuuna.

'W-what is this power?!' Ruggie panicked.

"Ara? It seems that I didn't pierce your back...shame" Y/n spoke in a scary but sweet tone, lifting her foot out of the crater, causing Ruggie to back away in fear.

"Pierce...?!" Ruggie yelped when Y/n lift her leg up for another stikre. "D-don't screw with me!" he shouts, using his unique magic to cause Y/n to slip and break her legs.

"Ah..." was all Y/n could say as she fell back, legs visibly broken.

"Y/n!" Riddle shouts from behind, facial expression turning red in anger that Ruggie dared to lay a finger on his soulmate, running with Ace, Deuce, Cater, Yuuna, and Grim.

Ruggie took this chance to run away again. Y/n grinned, as before she fell, her broken legs snapped back in place, regeneratiing quickly. "Guys! I'm fine, keep Riddle from overblotting in anger!" she ordered.

"A-alright!" Yuuna agreed.

"Ugh...it looks like you caught me..." Ruggie groaned from pain, with Y/n sitting on top of his waist, to make sure he doesn't escape. Why? Well, Y/n was putting weight on a pressure point to keep Ruggie paralyzed from the waist down. It will go away once Y/n gets off of him. "is this the best you can do? Pretty pathetic. Just look how tired your friends are" Ruggie pointed out.

Ace, Deuce, Yuuna, and Grim managed to catch up with them, while Cater stayed behind to calm down Riddle. They all were panting like crazy, minus Yuuna, who wasn't panting as well as they boys were. "What is WITH them?! They're both crazy fast!" Ace panted.

"It's not just that he runs fast...It's like no terrain even slows him down! B-but Y/n was twice as fast..." Deuce panted.

"Myaaaaah...I don't even think I can catch him" Grim whined.

"Enough. We know everything about how your unique magic works, so I suggest you start telling us your intentions and who's the mastermind" Y/n ordered, glaring at the Hyena.

"Shihihihi...compared to the backstreets of the slums, running away is a cakewalk. You have caught me, but can you even be sure that I did it?" Ruggie spat, having a mischievous grin on his face.

"What?" Y/n tilted her head to the side. "Of course you did it!" Deuce shouts.

"And what about evidence?" Ruggie asked.

Everyone was slient.
