Meanwhile at the Heartslabyul dormitory, Riddle was sorting out files about the Laws of the Queen of Hearts at the lounge where a student was shivering when facing the infamous short red brunette dorm leader.
"Laws of the Queen of Hearts, No. 249 states: 'The one in charge of feeding the flamingos must wear pink'." He informs as he glances at the student.
"You were supposed to be in charge of feeding the flamingos today. Where is your pink? Why aren't you wearing it?" Riddle asks.
"My deepest apologies, Dorm Leader...I-It's being washed! Please, don't cut off my head!" He pleads.
"This makes the second time you've broken the rules. I can no longer overlook it. OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!" He chants as a chained collar appear on his neck causing him to hiss in pain.
"Make a 5000 word written apology and weed the garden for a week. Then I will gladly unseal your magic." He sternly informs. This causes the distressed student to sob.
"That's..."
"I'm not taking your head because I want to! It's because you all break the rules?! Enforcing the rules is for your own benefit. Understood? Trey, Cater, take him outside." Riddle orders.
"...Yes, Dorm Leader." They both comply as they escort the tearful student out.

Meanwhile, Glory and her friends are in the library where they all search for Trey until Glory stops her tracks when her eyes glow black. Here, she saw three drops of black ooze dripping on his heart reaching its peak. Soon, she reverts back to reality and gasps. Clench her chest while panting softly after seeing a vision of Riddle's heart.
This is bad, this is not good, if his heart gets darker than....
"Prefect."
"Hm?"
Glory spins her head to see Ace with a worried look.
"You ok?" He asks curiously. Glory grins and nods.
"I'm fine, let's just-"
"Hey, I found him!" Grim says.
"Huh?" Glory turns to where Grim is pointing at until she spot a familiar figure and smiles softly when she sees Trey with a stiff expression.
"Let's go talk to him." Deuce says as they all nod and walk up to him.
"Clover senpai." He spoke causing Trey to turn around to see them.
"It's you guys..." He utters.
"We figured you'd come to the library to return the cookbook for the Mont Blanc and camped out here." Deuce informs.
"We really can't agree with the way Riddle is doing things." Ace told him. Trey puts his hand on his glasses and shakes his head.
"...I bet." Trey admits.
"What do you really think about him? Since you were kids, have you always been so subservient to him?" Ace asks curiously. This makes Trey flinch and puzzles by his sudden knowledge of his backstory.
"Who did you head that from?" Trey asks.
"It was from a guy named Che'nya." Deuce told him and Glory nods.
"He told us to come to you, so we could have answers on why Riddle's acting so strict." Glory informs.
"Che'nya...Ah, that guy." Trey understood.
"Aren't you also older than Riddle? Just get angry at him!" Grim flat out scolds at him.
"I'd do it if I felt it necessary, but...I can't bring myself to scold him." Trey says.
"Why?!" Ace shouts.
"Everything Riddle is was 'made' by following strict rules." Trey told them.
"Eh?" Deuce widen his eyes looking baffled and Glory curls her brows in confusion.
"In his homeland, there isn't a single person who hasn't heard of his parents, as Healers, they're that famous." Trey explains.
"Hey! Glory's a healer too!" Grim exclaims causing Glory, Ace, and Deuce to flinch.
"Grim!" The trio scold at him.
"Ack! Oops!" Grim shrieks and covers his mouth realizing his mistake.
"Hm? You're a healer?" Trey asks looking confused. Glory sighs feeling like there's no use of hiding so she decides to be honest and nods. This stuns Trey.
"A...healer? Here? In Night Raven College?" He asks while stunned.
"Yes, but it's not what you think. Mine is more like an...incantation spell." Glory told him.
"Huh?" Trey still looks confused. Glory sighs but smiles.
"I'll show you. Could you lend me your hand?" Glory asks making Trey blink for a second before complying. He extends his hand to her and Glory drops her bag where pulls out her dagger frightening him, Grim, and the boys.
"Fygna!! She's got the dagger!" Grin screeches.
"Gah! Prefect!" Ace shrills.
"What are you doing?!" Deuce shrieks.
"What are you going to do with that!?" Trey asks starting to panic. Glory place a finger to his lips giving him a reassuring smile.
"Ssssh we're in a library. I know it's scary, but just trust me on this one." Glory pleads. It took a few minutes for Trey to think about this before letting out a sigh and finally allows her to hold his hand as Glory push his sleeve down. She glance at him one last time with a calm smile.
"Just a little poke, ok?" Glory reassures him and he gulps but nods nevertheless. Glory then looks at the wrist she gently pokes his wrist with her blade causing him to let out a soft hiss. She carefully pulls out the blade as blood starts to come out from his wrist. She puts down the blade on the table and bites the glove as he pulls it off of her hand revealing her sundrop tattoo. Trey's eyes widen when he saw the tattoo as she lays her left hand on his bloody wrist.
"Just relax ok?" She reassures him one last time and he nods despite his panic look. Glory took a deep breath and out taking her a few minutes to gain her composure before she starts chanting.
"Flower, gleam, and glow...."
Soon the tattoo starts glowing shocking Trey, Deuce, Ace, and Grim.
I...I know that spell....I-It can't be....
Trey thought while looking shock by what he is witnessing.
"Let your power shine...
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine...."
As soon as his whole wrist glows into pure light, Trey and the boys are left stunned while watching her heal him.
"Heal what has been hurt...
Change the Fates design...
Save what been lost
Bring back what once was mine...
What once was mine~"
As the light fades away, Glory let's go of his hand. Trey examines his wrist with a shock look while her friends were left speechless.
"That's...that's..."
"Amazing..." Trey mutters finishing Deuce's sentence as he looks at Glory.
"But how can this be? The incantation spell was centuries ago. Nobody has ever cast a spell like that, how were you able to pull that off?" Trey asks curiously. Glory scratches her head awkwardly with a sheepish grin.
"Well, a friend of mine taught me how to do that..." Glory told him.
"Friend?" Trey blinks his eyes.
"A friend indeed, young lad."
Suddenly they all turn to see Merlin with his arms fold with a grin.
"Merlin." Glory gasps.
"M-Merlin sensei!" Deuce and Ace stutters,
"Hm? Aren't you that new nurse here?" Trey asks curiously.
"Ho, Ho, Ho, indeed I am. And..."
Merlin then shoots a death glare at Ace, Grim, and Deuce that causes them to flinched.
"I am certainly not pleased to find one of you spill the beans to another student..." He menacingly growls.
"W-We're sorry Merlin-sensei!" Deuce stutters.
"Yeah! It was Grim's fault!" Ace explains pointing his thumb at the gremlin.
"It was an accident!" He shrieks with the tiny wizard sigh and lightly shakes his head.
"As much I want to slam my staff on your thick skulls, I am going to refrain myself off the hook." Merlin stated making them sigh in relief.
"Thank the great sevens." Deuce, Ace, and Grim sighed.
"...For now." He warns them with dark tone making them gulped as they nod fearfully.
"Y-Yes sensei..." They muttered. Then Merlin floats towards Trey and extends a hand to him.
"You might know me, but let me introduce myself just to jog your memory. I'm Merlin. Your school's newest nurse at the infirmary and Sundrop's mentor." He introduces forming a smile at the vice dorm leader.
"It's pleasure to meet you, sir." He greets him so kindly.
"Wha...Wha...WHA!?" His jaw drop in complete one eighty at the shocking news when the cats came out of the bag and things are going to get out of hand from here.
