*********************************************
"Our first meeting seemed rather short, but enjoyed showing you around Atlantica and I hope you see you again soon! Maybe one day, perhaps someday...I can even be part of your world?"
~ Prince Rielle 🐚
"Who's there?!" The lavender haired male exclaimed as he looked over towards where the rustling sound was coming from.
"Sorry to interrupt." Deuce apologized as he soon approached the male along with the others following close behind. "We heard singing, and...wait a minute."
👑 Flashback 👑
"Grim, stop trotting around underfoot!" The Deuce said before he bumped into someone.
"Ah..." The lavender haired male said.
"Whoops, sorry about that! You ok?" Deuce said as he apologized to the male who simply stared at him with tears weld up in his eyes.
"W...whoa!" Deuce exclaimed as he stared at him in shock. "Y...you're...crying?!"
"Are you alright?" (Y/N) said as she looked over at the male now checking for any signs of injury.
"Professor! Deuce is bullying a kid from another class and making him cry!" Ace said.
"That's not funny, Ace!" Deuce exclaimed as he glared at Ace before giving the crying male an apologetic look. "Did I hurt you that badly? I am so sorry. Here, lean on my shoulder. I'll get you to the nurse's office."
"Rgh...dagnabbit..." The lavender haired male mumbled.
"Huh? Dag-what...?" Deuce said as he stared at the male in confusion.
"Ngh!" The male's eyes widen a bit before soon running off to who knows where.
👑 Flashback End 👑
"Aren't you the guy I ran into on the first day of the semester?" Deuce said.
"Ah... Yes, I'm sorry about that." The lavender haired male said.
"You're cute." (Y/N) said as she approached the lavender haired male.
"W...what?! Cute?!" The male stuttered out as he stared at the female in shock. "Not even cool..." He mumbles as he averted his eyes slightly.
"Yes, of course."
"Caw! Just take the compliment kid." Kanzaburou said as he look over at the male who simply gave him a small nod.
"Hey, I'm the one who should be sorry." Deuce said as he apologized to the male. "Your name was...Epel, right?"
"Huh? How did you know?" Epel said as he stared at Deuce in confusion.
"Jack told us. He's in your class, yea?" Deuce said.
"Yes. And I believe you two are...Deuce and Ace?" Epel said as he looked over at the two Heartslabyul males who gave him a nod before looking over at the raven haired female. "And you're Grim and (Y/N), I take it? So that means your crow is...Kanzaburou." He said before smiling at them all while earning a nod from the female.
"Ooh, you know our names? I guess we really are campus celebrities." Grim said as he smirked.
"Your exhibition match at the interdorm Magift tournament was pretty amusing. Heheh." Epel said before letting out a small chuckle.
"Yea if you call getting smacked with a disc amusing, then yea..." (Y/N) mumbled as she scratched her cheek now remembering the incident.
"Caw! It's all that raccoon's fault Tomioka sama got hurt!" Kanzaburou said before glaring at Grim.
"Hey! I already apologized." Grim said as he defended himself. And I'm not a raccoon!"
"That's not exactly something we want to be known for." Ace said as he agreed with Kanzaburou.
"So, Epel. Why are you singing into the well?" Deuce questioned as Epel gave him a small nod.
"The well has an echo, so it's a good way to hear the sound of your own voice." Epel pointed out. "Our dorm leader, Vil instructed me to practice my singing here."
"Does Pomefiore have some rule that you have to be a good singer?" Deuce questioned.
"This isn't our dorm. Only Heartslabyul has rules that crazy." Ace said.
"Not to mention the whole Off With Your Head thing..."
"Correct. It's not a rule of the dorm, per se. But I will be auditioning for the Song & Dance Championship." Epel said.
"Nice. Good for you!" Deuce said.
"Vil instructed me to work on making my singing sound more charming and sweet..." Epel said as he let out a small sigh. "But if I'm being honest, I could do without the whole competition." He mumbled.
"Huh?" Deuce said as he stared at the male slightly confused.
"What's this, Epel? Are you shirking your vocal practice to parley with the pigeons?" A voice said now startling Epel.
"Caw! I'm a crow, not a pigeon!" Kanzaburou cried out.
"Ah...Vil..." The lavender haired male mumbled.
"So that's Vil Schoenheit, the Pomefiore dorm leader." Deuce said as he glanced over at the male.
"Dude! He looks so regal up close, it's actually imposing." Ace said.
"I feel small just looking at him!" Grim exclaimed.
"Caw! He's very shiny too." Kanzaburou said.
"Yea..." (Y/N) nodded as she agreed with her friends. "He's very pretty too..."
"You there. Spudlings." Vil said as he glanced over at them.
"Myah? Are you talking to us?" Grim said.
"Who else would I be addressing? This is a critical time for Epel. We have less than two months until the SDC. He has no time to waste playing with unwashed spuds. Do not disturb him during his rehearsals." Vil said.
"Excuse me?" Ace said.
"We weren't trying to disturb him." Deuce said.
"I'm not a vegetable..." (Y/N) bluntly said.
"Caw! Who do you think you're talking to!" Kanzaburou cried out.
"Vil, they ain't done nothin' to deserve how you're talkin'! Ah was...ahem. I was-" Epel started off only to be cut off by Vil.
"Epel, how many times have I told you to avoid improper contractions and double negatives? How are you supposed to get anywhere if you break character any time your emotions grow heated? You'll never be a bright red poison apple at this rate. Come, Epel. We're leaving." Vil said as he ignored the others.
"But honestly, I'd rather be-" Epel said before being cut off once again.
"Have you forgotten our agreement? Now come." Vil said.
"Rgh..."
"Hey, hold up. I don't care if you are a dorm leader. He doesn't wanna go." Ace said as he frowned at the male.
"And I don't appreciate you calling us potatoes the moment you meet us." Grim said now glaring at Vil.
"Caw!" Kanzaburou cried out before turning back to his human self. "Yea! And how dare you refer to Tomioka sama as anything but amazing! Are you blind!?" The raven haired male angrily said as he then gestured to the female who wore a blank stare. "Back at the Corp and here she's still the most beautiful girl you'll ever lay your disgusting eyes on!"
"He's not wrong..."
"One of the rare few times I actually agree with him..."
"Kanzaburou..." (Y/N) said as she sweat dropped a bit.
"No, because- achoo! " Kanzaburou started before being cut off by suddenly sneezing. "It's true! How dare an overly caked up clown refer to you as anything less but beautiful." The raven haired male said before hugging (Y/N) who simply gave him a headpat. "At least Tomioka sama has natural beauty."
"Overly caked clown?!"
"Ohhh..."
"Forcing someone to do something against their will is never ok." (Y/N) said before glaring at Vil, her hand on her nirichin blade handle.
"Hold on, everyone. I'll be fine, really..." Epel said as he stared at them all with worry.
"Heh. Mere tubers dare to challenge my authority? A bold move." Vil said as he smirked at them. "This should make for a fine post-meal workout. Try me. I'll make mashed potatoes out of the lot of you."
👑👑👑👑👑👑
After a while of fighting against Vil, each of them let out a small groan in pain. All while (Y/N) simply looked at her friends who laid sprawled on the ground.
"Gyah!" Grim groaned.
"Guh!" Ace cried out.
"Ack! This is the second time I get punched!" Kanzaburou exclaimed as (Y/N) helped him up.
"Gah!" Deuce groaned in pain.
"This sadly didn't last even a minute.." (Y/N) said as she outstretched her arm for Kanzaburou to turn back to his usual self to which he gave a small nod."Thank you Kanzaburou, but you're still not well. At least not fully..." The female said as she now pets her crow.
"Caw! I'll have my revenge!" Kanzaburou cried out.
"You and me both..."
"Your moves are all utterly unchoreographed. It's embarrassing to watch, frankly and woefully inelegant, to boot. You get a five out of one hundred. Next time you pick a fight, think twice about who you're challenging." Vil said as he glared at them before glancing over at (Y/N). "And you. Not too bad, you have grace in each of your steps so seventy out of one hundred."
"Thanks..." The female said.
"Well, she could have seriously injured him if she wanted to."
"You're lucky I held back..."
"It's called being quiet and flexible..." The female deadpanned.
"Ah...they took all that because of me..." Epel mumbled.
"My, I must seem like quite the villain. But know this, Epel the fault lies entirely with you for skipping your rehearsals during the holidays. There is much work yet to be done if we are to earn our places as SDC finalists. You don't get to be number one by relaxing. Now come." Vil said before taking his leave with Epel.
"Yes, sir..." Epel mumbles sadly before looking over towards the group one last time. "I'll see you guys later...."
"Epel..."
"Mraaah...after all that, he still got yoinked away." Grim said as he watched as the two males walked away.
"What a downer. Is there some kinda rule in this school that you can't be dorm leader unless you're a tremendous jerk?" Ace said.
"We were unwise to pick that fight. If dorm leader Rosehearts hears about this, it might be off with our heads." Deuce said.
"I could have seriously hurt him if I wanted to..." (Y/N) bluntly said as the other stared at her in shock all while she simply stared at the spot where Epel once stood.
"Well...she has a point."
"This reminds me of the fight with the twins all over again!"
👑 Flashback 👑
".....But if I'm being honest, I could do without the whole competition." Epel said as he let out a small sigh.
👑 Flashback End 👑
"The Song & Dance Championship, huh?" Deuce said as they were all unaware of the student who kept watching them from a tree.
"Hmm. Most intriguing..." The mysterious person said as he smirked a bit.
👑👑👑👑👑👑
The next day, during lunch break...
"Your moves are all utterly unchoreographed. It's embarrassing to watch, frankly and woefully inelegant, to boot." Ace mocked as they were now currently at the school's gymnasium where they were practicing for the competition.
"You get a five out of one hundred!" Grim said as he mocked Vil. "Oooh, he makes me so mad! I'm gonna wow them at the audition with my slick moves and dulcet tones! They'll be all like, please, o Great Grim, you have to represent us! Just you wait and see."
"Yeah. Totally." Ace said before rolling his eyes at Grim's words. "So Deuce. You changed your mind about auditioning. What gives?"
"I'm not taking all that smack talk lying down!" Deuce exclaimed. "Besides...I'm a little worried about that guy."
"You mean Epel?" Ace said as Deuce gave him a small nod.
"Yea. He didn't seem like he was taking part in the SDC because he wanted to." Deuce said as the female nodded in agreement.
"He seemed...almost afraid of his dorm leader.." (Y/N) said as she frowned a bit at the thought.
"Back when he and I bumped into each other, he was crying. As an honors student, I can't ignore someone being forced to do something against their will." Deuce said.
"You know, a real honors student wouldn't refer to themselves as one." Ace said as he shook his head at Deuce's words. "Epel's clearly faint of heart. I mean, just look at the guy. Forcing someone like that to compete just seems mean. That's why I say we put on a better performance than Epel's. We can knock him out of the running for the contest ourselves. You said it yourself, right? It's not appropriate to audition on a lark when you're not serious about gunning for the top spot. If he doesn't want the spot, we'll take it for ourselves."
"Sounds good to me! Let's start with some dance practice. (Y/N), cue the music!" Grim said as he smiled at the female who simply gave him a nod.
"Alright." (Y/N) said before turning the music on for them.
"Glad I figured out how this thing works..."
👑👑👑👑👑👑
"Haha! You can't even pull off basic baby steps, Deuce." Ace said as he laughed at Deuce.
"H...hey, what do want from me?! I've never danced in my life!" Deuce said as he tried to defend himself.
"It's alright Deuce, I think you did a pretty good job for a first try." (Y/N) said which caused the male to blush a bit.
"T...thanks (Y/N)." Deuce said as he smiled at the female.
"Myow ow ow... My hands and feet are moving at the same time..." Grim said as he continued to dance.
"I think there might be limits to what we can figure out by ourselves..." The raven haired female mumbled.
"Ooh, are you guys dancing, too? Let us join in!" The familiar voice of Kalim said as he approached them along with Jamil.
"Hello senpais." (Y/N) greeted to which Kalim immediately hugged her to which she soon returned to gesture.
"Haha it's good to see you again (Y/N)!" Kalim happily said as then turned his attention to the female's crow. "Hey Kanzaburou, nice to see you again." The male smiled as he gently pet the crow.
"Caw! You're back and you brought that with you." Kanzaburou said as he perched himself on Kalim's shoulder.
"Well he clearly has his favorites..."
"Nice to see you again." Jamil said as he glared at Kanzaburou.
"Myah! It's Scarabia's most dysfunctional duo." Grim said.
"I don't appreciate you making up pet names. And we are not dysfunctional." Jamil said.
"I beg to differ..." The female mumbled as she walked over to Jamil to give him a headpat. "I hope you're not causing trouble." She said all while Jamil simply gave her a small smile.
"Hey, Kalim. Hey, Jamil. Let me guess, you guys are auditioning for the SDC too?" Ace said which cause Kalim to smile.
"Yup! It's a big festival, and there's no better occasion to dance! Jamil and I happen to both be good at that and singing. Right, Jamil?" Kalim happily said as he looked over at Jamil.
"I'd rather not draw that much attention to myself, personally." Jamil said before letting out a sigh.
"I saw you guys from behind, and goodness, you've all got two left feet! It was like watching an elephant panic and rear back on its hind legs." Kalim said as he smiled at the males before letting out a small laugh. "Ahaha! You can hardly dance, and you'll have to do that while simultaneously singing at the audition. Maybe you're in above your heads here." Kalim said to which Kanzaburou nodded in agreement.
"Rgh...the fact that you said all of that with complete sincerity makes it even worse." Deuce said as he let out a small sigh.
"Hey, come to think of it..." Ace started off before looking over at Jamil. "Jamil, you taught Floyd some dance moves at Basketball Club practice once. Dancing is kinda your thing, right? Mind sharing some pro strats with us?"
"Great idea! You can't go wrong with Jamil as your coach." Kalim said as he nodded in agreement.
"He asked me, not you!" Jamil said as he glared at Kalim before soon clearing his throat. "Ahem. Anyway, teaching makes good practice for me, so...sure. For beginners, we should start with isolation. Spread your feet as wide as your shoulders..." Jamil instructed them which they did as they were told, with the exception of (Y/N) who would encourage them to do their best. "Deuce, ease up your shoulders a bit more. Moving your head and shoulders at the same time will make your whole body look stiff." Jamil told the blue haired male.
"H...how am I supposed to move my head and shoulders separately?! Just thinking about that would make me fall behind the music." Deuce said.
"You won't get anywhere in dancing by thinking things out. Just follow the rhythm and work on your muscle memory." The male said as the bell soon rang. "Ah, afternoon class is about to start. Time to wrap up our practice session." Jamil said.
"Awww, already? Time sure flies when you're busting moves!" Kalim said.
"Jamil! Kalim! Thank you for the training session, sirs!" Deuce exclaimed.
"Seriously, Jamil. I can tell you're used to tutoring. In less than an hour, you've gotten Deuce and Grim from zero skills to...some skills." Ace said as he grinned at the male.
"Your sense of rhythm is lacking, but you've got solid reflexes. Keep practicing, and you should be able to get the hang of dancing eventually." Jamil said to which Deuce gave him a nod.
"Right! Thanks!" Deuce said as he smiled at the male.
"It's hard to gauge whether Grim has actually improved any, but...he's agile. I suppose. Maybe." Jamil said as he said the last bit to himself.
"This has all been pretty fun, actually. I'll show you all even smoother moves tomorrow!" Grim happily exclaimed.
"Be careful not to focus too hard on dancing. You can't afford to neglect your singing. You need to strike a proper balance between the two in your rehearsals." Jamil said.
"True. We've still got a lot of work to do." Deuce said.
"Hey, guys. What would you say to group practice sessions starting tomorrow? Jamil's a great singer, for the record. You should get him to demonstrate." Kalim offered which caused the raven haired female to smile a bit.
"Wh-again, you're making commitments on my behalf!" Jamil exclaimed.
"What's the harm in that? When it comes to dancing, singing, and parties, the rule of thumb is the more, the merrier!" Kalim happily said.
"I'd love to hear Jamil senpai sing." The raven haired female said as she gave the male a close eyed smile before soon taking a hold of his hand... "I'm sure you have a lovely voice." She said causing Jamil to blush upon hearing her words.
"I uh...yea.." He mumbled now averting his eyes away from the female.
"Sign us up!" They all exclaimed in unison.
"Deal! We're in this together now!" Kalim said as he gave them a grin.
"Hmph. Such a demanding bunch you are...
But fine. So be it. Be warned, though- if you think I'll go easy on you, think again. Jamil said.
"Yea, whatever. We're used to being run ragged by our own dorm leader." Ace smirked.
"Do your worst, sir." Deuce said.
"Then before we leave, we'd best tidy things up. Go fetch some mops from storage." Jamil said.
"Yes, sir!" The males exclaimed now heading to the storage room along with Kalim, leaving (Y/N) and Jamil behind.
"Kalim senpai took Kanzaburou with him..."
"Kalim, you don't have to..." Jamil sighed. "Will you be joining us (Y/N)?"
"Me?" (Y/N) blinked before shaking her head. "No...sorry senpai, but I have other plans. Thank you." She said as the male gave her a small nod.
"Plans huh? I wonder what it could be..."
Jamil and (Y/N) made small talk in the meantime before soon being interrupted by a knock.
"Ah, excellent. There you are, Jamil." Azul said as he walked over towards the male. "Ah (Y/N), I wasn't aware you would be here as well. Hello."
"Ugh out of all people..."
"Hello senpai." The female greeted.
"What do you want, Azul?" Jamil said as he glared at the male.
"Why, what ever could I have done to earn your ire? And here I thought we were the closest of classmates!" Azul dramatically said. "More to the point. You're on class duty, correct? Our afternoon Magic History period is going to be a study hall today. Professor Trein wants you to come and get the classwork printouts from the faculty office."
"Fine. I'll be right there." Jamil said.
"Say, didn't Azul stream Jamil's whole diabolical plan to the world?" Grim said as he approached the raven haired female now returning with the others.
"I wonder whatever happened to Jamil senpai..." (Y/N) said.
"Let's not talk about that..."
"Nothing good I'm sure."
"Please. It's like you've never heard of a bluff before. That was obviously a ploy to convince him there was no talking his way out of it." Azul said as he gave him a smirk.
"Mrah?!"
"I can't believe you thought that I, the very soul of benevolence, would willingly destroy a classmate's reputation and social standing!" Azul exclaimed.
"Yea, very benevolent..."
"...You absolutely would." Jamil said as he glared at Azul.
"A real nice guy wouldn't tell such a nasty lie in the first place." Grim said.
"Heheh." Azul chuckled upon hearing Grim's words. "All I did that day was put my smartphone on a speaker call with Jade. Unlike Leona, I don't torment others for sport. I never do more than what is strictly necessary. I obtained some perfectly good intel from the experience. I would never dream of devaluing my own assets!"
"Whatever you say." Jamil said before letting out a sigh. "But you know what? I'll grudgingly admit that thanks to Azul's benevolence, my parents and the Asim family still don't know the real reason I overblotted. As for the students..." He said before trailing off a bit.
👑 Flashback 👑
"Dorm leader Kalim, I don't understand! Why aren't you replacing Jamil as vice dorm leader?" The blonde haired Scarabia student questioned.
"He's been deceiving us all for ages, yourself included!" The purple haired Scarabia student added.
"He might still be plotting something. He needs to be dismissed!" The redhead Scarabia student exclaimed.
"Wow, you're all so worried about me! Thanks. That's really nice of you." Kalim said as he smiled at them. "Here's the thing, though...he's not the only one at fault for this mess. I share some of the blame. Besides, I would bet there isn't a single person in Scarabia who hasn't gotten help from Jamil at some point. Am I right?"
"W...well..." The blonde haired Scarabia male started off.
"I guess he's given me advice before..." The purple haired Scarabia student mumbled.
"See? There you go. He's been a model vice dorm leader. In fact, he's put me to shame. He let dark thoughts get the better of him for a brief time. Other than that, he's a perfectly capable guy. It's true that he used you all to try and kick me out..." Kalim started off as he then looked over at all the students before him. "But Jamil never once hurt me before the holiday incident. And believe me, he could have. He's had every possible opportunity to do far worse things. But he never did. Not once in seventeen years. I know I can't exactly call him a good guy, but still." Kalim said as he smiled once again at the students.
"Dorm leader..." The redhead student mumbled as he stared at Kalim in shock.
"It's frustrating not being able to explain myself better, but...could you give us just a little more time to sort this out?" Kalim said as the students hesitantly agreed.
"If that's what you want...then I guess so." The redhead student said as he gave a small nod.
Jamil however let out a small sigh as he quietly watched the scene before him.
👑 Flashback End 👑
"We've been more or less treading water ever since. Scarabia emphasizes mindfulness and forethought. Our students are trying to avoid jumping to conclusions. They're watching and waiting to see who's more beneficial to side with. Myself and Kalim included." Jamil said.
"Heh. Classic Scarabia. Astoundingly shameless, one and all. I'm impressed the two of you would even dance together after everything that transpired." Azul said as he gave the male a close eyed smile.
"Hmph. Say what you will. In my case, the overblot incident has caused my reputation at school to plummet. Not to mention...I've now dealt with other things... Jamil said as he then glanced at (Y/N) before soon crossing his arms over his chest. "It makes sense for me to fall in line with Kalim for a while, in the interest of improving my position both within Scarabia and without."
"Oh right, the staff."
"Geez I wonder what happened to him."
"Heh. The students must be circling you like sharks, waiting for the first sign of blood so they can challenge you for your seat." Azul said as he smirked at Jamil. "If not for your clashing idiosyncrasies, it would be hard to imagine a more appealing person to serve than Kalim. He's eventually going to inherit an entire trove of treasure. In our modern society, that wealth represents a power magnitudes greater than any magic. Why, it borders on omnipotence."
"Half of his words sounded capitalistic..."
"Look. My holiday plot was a once in a lifetime gambit. I thought that if I failed, my life would effectively be over. But in the end, things aren't all that different now..." Jamil said as he glared at Azul. "Thankfully. As long as Kalim doesn't dismiss me, I'll continue to be his aid. I'll continue to prove myself to those around me. That includes Kalim, my dormmates, my parents, the Asim family...and all of you."
"Man, Jamil. You've gone from one person before the holidays to a whole other person after them. It's nuts." Grim said.
"I think you're doing more than enough senpai." (Y/N) said as she gave the male a small nod. "Good for you."
"Heh. I much prefer it this way. If Kalim ever does sack you, Octavinelle's doors are always open to you. We would gladly welcome someone with your pedigree." Azul offered.
"Thank you, but not in a million years. Octavinelle is the last dorm I would ever transfer to." Jamil said.
"Hey, guys! We're gonna be late to class if we don't hustle!" Kalim said.
"Look at Kalim keeping us on track, instead of the other way around! Heh. I never thought I'd see the day. He's right, of course." Azul said.
"I shouldn't have stood around chatting with you anyway. I'd better go get those printouts." Jamil said.
"Gah! Our next period is in the west building! That's a long walk." Ace said.
"Come on, (Y/N) Grim! Let's beat feet!" Deuce said as he looked over at the female.
"Right. Let's go Kanzaburou." (Y/N) said as Kanzaburou soon left Kalim's side to go back to the female. "Of course Tomioka sama. See you later Kalim, I guess you too Medusa!"
"It's Jamil!" Jamil said as he glared at Kanzaburou.
"Goodbye senpais. We'll see you both soon." The female bid goodbye before taking her leave.
"Myah! Wait for me!" Grim called out before soon running after them.
"Bye! See you guys later!" Kalim happily said.
👑👑👑👑👑👑
Three days later...
"I've been seeing a lot of dudes rehearsing the audition number in the gym over lunch break." Ace said as they were once again at the gymnasium.
"Those chumps better not be after the prize. Nobody takes my tuna!" Grim exclaimed.
"I suspect more of them are after a potential pro debut than prize money." Jamil said.
"Now that you mention it, they do all seem like they're in their element." Deuce said.
"Don't let them intimidate you. You've also made great strides with your singing ability. It's a far cry from when you started out sounding like a panicked elephant." Jamil said.
"Mmhm! You've also gotten better at holding a note. Vocal training isn't easy, and you put in the work. You all deserve a pat on the back!" Kalim happily said as he congratulated them. "Now, let's get back to it. Today we'll focus on doing the whole song from start to finish!"
"Yes, sir!" They all said in unison.
"Just do your best everyone." (Y/N) encouraged, now making them all smile.
👑👑👑👑👑👑
"Yes! I pulled off the whole dance without missing a step! And I didn't blank out on any song lyrics, either." Deuce happily said.
"Myah ha! Same. I didn't step on my own tail once." Grim happily cheered.
"I have to hand it to you, Jamil. It's no small feat to teach guys with such awful memories how to boogie. And in such a short time frame!" Ace said.
"What he said! Jamil makes everything super easy to understand. It's helped me a ton over the years." Kalim said as he gave them a close eyed smile.
"You all did great. Congratulations guys." (Y/N) said as she gave them a thumbs up. "You were great too Jamil senpai." The female said now causing said male to blush a bit.
"Caw! Not bad at all. Nice going!" Kanzaburou said.
"Ahem! Let's not make this about me. You've got all the basics under your belt now. From here on out, you're on your own. Keep practicing for the audition." Jamil said.
"Guess we'll be rivals on audition day, huh? I'll still keep my fingers crossed for you guys!" Kalim happily said.
"Naturally, I don't plan to lose either." Jamil confidently said.
"Cocky much? Then again, I've got the same idea." Ace said.
"My dulcet tones and smooth moves are gonna leave the judges spellbound!" Grim exclaimed.
"Jamil, Kalim, thank you both for your generous help!" Deuce said as he thanked the two Scarabia males.
"Oh, yes." Jamil said as he gave the blue haired male a nod. "Have you applied for the audition yet?"
"Wait, what?" Grim said as he stared at the male with slight confusion.
"Good grief...I had a feeling." Jamil said as he let out a sigh. "You're not exactly fastidious. I'm glad I double checked."
"I wasn't aware of that..."
"I just forgot..."
"Aha ha! You're always on top of this stuff, Jamil." Kalim said as he laughed a bit.
"Yes, well, some habits are ingrained in me from dealing with a certain someone on a regular basis. You need to apply in advance to take part in the SDC audition. Rook Hunt in Class 3-A is handling applications." Jamil said.
"Rook Hunt..."
"Oh yea, I remember reading that on the poster." Ace said.
"The deadline to apply is the day before the audition. Don't forget to take care of that." Jamil said.
"Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!" Deuce said as he thanked Jamil once again.
"Rook's easy to identify by his hat and blond bob. But I'm sure you'll know him when you see him." Jamil said as he described the male to them.
"Ah right, now I remember..."

"So this is 3-A..." Deuce said as he looked around the classroom. "Hunt's haunt, as it were. It's kind of intimidating going into one of the upperclassmen's classrooms."
"We barely ever interact with upperclassmen from other dorms as it is. Maybe we should flag down one of the Heartslabyul juniors for this?" Ace said.
"Ooh, I spy with my little eye..." Grim said before soon noticing a familiar male. "Hey! Leona! Come here for a sec!"
"...Hn?" Leona said as he glared at Grim.
"Gah! Grim! Why'd you have to call out to him?!" Ace exclaimed.
"He's the Savanaclaw dorm leader, too!" Deuce said.
"So? He's the only guy I recognize in this classroom." Grim said as he simply shrugged.
"Everyone in here is staring at us now..." The female mumbles as she looked at the other students.
"You've got nerve trying to order me around. If you want something, you come to me." Leona said.
"We aren't even ten meters apart! Geez, some people." Grim said.
"You know, sometimes, Grim leaves me awestruck." Deuce mumbled as the female nodded in agreement.
"Same..." Ace said.
"Senpai..." (Y/N) said as she walked over to the male only to give him a headpat. "Soft..." She mumbled.
"I'm surprised he hasn't yelled at her...
"Bold...very bold of her."
Leona didn't say anything for a bit, simply staring at the female who continued to gently headpat him leaving him to unconsciously lean into her touch. "So, what do you want, herbivores? This had better be good." Leona finally said as (Y/N) eventually pulled away.
"Hm..."
"We're looking for a guy named Rook Hunt. Could you introduce us?" Grim said.
"Why? What do you want with that weirdo?" Leona said as he frowned upon hearing the male's name.
"Weirdo? How bad is he for Leona senpai to react that way..."
"We wanna apply for the Song & Dance Championship!" Grim said.
"C'est vrai?!" A voice suddenly said now appearing out of nowhere. "Magnifique! I welcome all new challengers with open arms!" The blonde haired male happily said.
"Whoa!" The males exclaimed in unison all while (Y/N) took out her nirichin blade ready to decapitate the blonde.
"No (Y/N)!" Deuce and Ace exclaimed in unison.
"Tomioka sama yes!" Kanzaburou encouraged.
"Ohlala!~" The male said in amusement as he dodge the sudden attack now smirking at the female.
