"Ace! Behind you!" deuce yelled. "Bwah?! Housewarden!" Ace says in surprise. "Hey, Riddle! What's shakin', pal? You're lookin' adorbs, as always!" Cater says. "Hmph. Cater, keep running that mouth and you'll lose it - along with the rest of your head." Riddle says. "Sorry, sorry! My bad!" Cater apologies. "Myah?! You're the guy who put that stupid collar on me at the orientation ceremony!" Grimm says surprised.

"And you're the new students who were nearly expelled yesterday. I'll ask that you not refer to my signature spell as a "stupid collar." The headmage's habit of tolerating rulebreakers like you is going to send this entire campus spiraling into chaos one day. Those who break the rules should have their heads removed immediately, without exception." Ohhh boy this kid was going to give magolor so much trouble. "Dude, seriously?

"*Sigh* More insane rules..." Ace couldn't help but sigh. "I believe you mean to say, "Yes, Housewarden!"" Riddle said, putting his hands on his hips. "Yes, Housewarden!" the two cards said dejected. "Very well, then." Riddle said. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them." Trey said. "Hmm. As vice housewarden, I trust you'll avoid any further indiscreet conversation. Now, as per rule 339... "The post-meal beverage is to be lemon tea with two sugar cubes." Thus, I must go to acquire my sugar cubes. Farewell. Don't even get me started on their violation of running out of sugar cubes...!" Riddle told them as he started to walk away. But then...
