After overcoming the challenge of escaping the prison cell that was their guest room, Grimm's hungry belly gave them away and alerted the nearest student security. The two ran through the dorm, till the ducked into a treasure vault room to hide. The guards ran past the rooms in search of the escaped ramshackle dorm students.
"~~~♪" the carpet bounced.
" Wha-That shocked me...! I almost screamed...!" Grimm gasped at the scare, "This is Kalim's treasure vault. Rich people are really something, huh! They don't even lock the doors,"
"~~~♪" the carpet bounced happily.
"That's right...! We can probably bypass the lookouts and escape if we use you!" Grimm smiled.
"?" The carpet wondered.
"Hey, Carpet. We're gonna take you out for a walk, so can you come with us to our dorm?" Grimm offered.
" ♪♪♪♪" the carpet agreed
"Alright, Y/n! Get on top of the carpet!" Grimm ordered," Good riddance, Scarabia Dorm!"
"Yahoo!!! We did it!!! The prison-break was a success!," Grimm cheered, " We are free men~~~~~!!"
" ♪♪♪♪" Carpet nodded.
"By the way, how does one fly a magic carpet exactly?" Y/n asked.
"Um... How do we control the magic carpet...?" Grimm mumbled, " I remember Kalim pulling on the tassel over here... There!"
"!!!!!" The carpet was startled.
" Uwah!? It suddenly changed direction! Hey, listen to me!!" Grimm ordered.
" ~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!" Carpet started to go crazy.
" GYAH!!!! I'm getting dizzy!!!!! STOP!!! STOP, I TELL YOU~~!!" Grimm cried.
The carpet flew through the dorm and out the mirror in a wild rush. Y/n held onto the carpet tightly as the carpet continued it's buck wild flying through the school. It suddenly made a sharp turn and flew back into the mirror chamber and another mirror.
"Were gonna crash!" Y/n panicked.
Y/n quickly grabbed Grimm and used her body to shield the small raccoon as the carpet flew full force into some furniture and then a wall. As Y/n was knocked unconscious.
" Oh, my. I was wondering who would be visiting so late at night," Jade said as he came out to investigate the noise.
" I came here to check if there's a sneaky thief around, but it's just you two," Floyd sighed," How boring,"
" Huh...? Why're you two here?" Grimm asked.
"Why...? We already told you that we won't be going back home for winter break, remember?" Floyd said simply.
" Then... We're in Octavinelle!?" Grimm said in realization.
"Indeed. You are currently in the Mostro Lounge," Jade confirmed.
" We-We did it~~~~! We finally managed to escape that prison!" Grimm cheered, " Isn't that great Y/n...Y/n?"
" ♪♪♪♪" the carpet bounce.
" Prison...?" Jade asked.
" There's nowhere to run, you sneaky bastards!
Stay put and behave!" The Scarabia students shouted.
"Wha-!? They chased us this far!? You're all so persistent!" Grimm screeched, " Y/n! Wake up! Huh, what's that red stuff dripping down your face?"
"What is this ruckus so late at night?" Azul yelled in anger.
" You're Octavinelle's Prefect Azul Ashengrotto...!" SCARABIA STUDENT B gasped.
" What is going on exactly?" Azul interrogated.
" This doesn't concern Octavinelle! Can you hand those two over to us right now?" SCARABIA STUDENT A snapped.
"Oh, my, now that I look closely, these two on the floor are Y/n-san and Grim-san," Azul commented, " I almost mistook him for a dust cloth since he looked so dirty,"
"Can your charitable heart please save us?" Grimm begged.
"Hm," Azul hummed.
" We won't let you off easily if you don't hand them over right now!" SCARABIA STUDENT A demanded.
"Hah? Who do you think you're talking to?" Floyd frowned.
" I cannot allow any sort of scuffle here in Mostro Lounge. This is a gentleman's place, after all," Azul sighed.
" What'd you say? Are you interfering?!" the student growled.
" Don't mind him. It's a test of strength then!" Another shouted.
" Hmph, I am afraid that I cannot make a deal with such rowdy customers," Azul mocked, "Jade, Floyd. Please chase them out,"
"Yes," Floyd and jade smiled.
The twins were easily able to wipe the floor with the intruder, and the scarabia students quickly retreated.
"Y/n? Y/n stop sleeping already," Grimm said as he tried to shake Y/n awake.
"It appears Y/n-san hit her head pretty bad, Jade get the bandages, Floyd prepare a guest room for the Prefect," Azul ordered as he picked Y/n up bridal style.
--------
As Azul attended to Y/n's head wound he could help but notice something different about her. He could feel a terrifying amount of Magical energy radiating off the unconscious girl, and it's very difficult to hide one's magic. It should have been impossible to hide her magic from the dark mirror as well.
"You're just full of surprises," Azul chuckled as he finished healing her head wound.
Y/n groaned softly as her eye's fluttered open as she slowly sat up. With Azul's help of course as She explained what she remembered in Scarabia. Azul thoroughly confused decides to pay Kalim and Scarabia a visit and to help her figure out what might be going on.
"Thank you Azul, I-" Y/n pauses as she feels her neck area," W-where's my pendant?!"
Y/n slowly began to tremble as she looked around her bed to see if it drooped somewhere.
"Calm down, I'm afraid that you may have dropped it in Scarabia. I didn't see it on you when you arrived at our lounge," Azul explain slowly.
Azul wondered why She trembled so much at the loss of her pendant, sure it was a beautiful piece of jewelry. Did it have some sort of great importance to her? Azul wondered to himself, as he explained what he and the twins are planning on doing tomorrow.
--------------
Kalim wandered through the halls when suddenly he felt his energy leave him as his mind started to clear of its haze. The orange glow of his eyes faded as it became his normal cheerful Garnet Red color.
"Huh? When did I?.? Where is everyone?" Kalim wondered.
Completely unaware of the faint glow of the sakura pendant in his pocket. Jamil came down the hall to find Kalim, but he gasped in shock to see that he had snapped out of his magic. Jamil tried to put Kalim under his spell once again, but it didn't faze Kalim in the slightest.
"Ah, there you are Jamil. Where is everyone?" Kalim asked with his cheerful smile.
"There out training in the garden like you told them," Jamil answered.
"What at this time of night, call them back they deserve a break. Maybe even dessert too," Kalim suggested.
"You don't want to hinder their progress do you, plus you have been too easy on them," Jamil said as he tried his magic one more time.
But the magic was blocked by an invisible force that surrounded Kalim, both not noticing the faint light coming from Kalim's pocket.
"What are you talking about, They deserve a break. We can pick up training tomorrow, I'll get them," Kalim smiled as he ran to the garden.
Jamil stood there in shock as he began to internally panic.
'My magic isn't working?! It has always worked on that airhead! Why isn't it working now?! No, NO NO NO! This could ruin everything?!" Jamil panicked.
----------
[LOCATION: Scarabia Dorm]
" I didn't think that those two would escape to Octavinelle at all...
They even stole the magic carpet... What will we do if the Prefect finds out...? Let's discuss this with Vice-Prefect Jamil first, " The students panicked.
" Hello, we have come to visit," Azul announced dramatically.
"Ah, it's hot. It's like summer here," Floyd smiled.
" !!??" the students gasped, " It's the Octavinelle guys who beat us up yesterday!"
" What do you need from us!?" another student asked.
" Ah, I am so very sorry for what happened last night. It looked as if you were bullying helpless little animals, so I ended up covering for them out of the goodness of my heart... Now that I've heard the full story. I now understand that these two are akin to criminals for stealing the magic carpet. And now that I know, I take full responsibility for returning them to where they belong. In other words, we are here to return the magic carpet," Azul explained.
"Ugh... We're not here because we like it, yanno," Grimm groaned.
"♪♪♪♪" the carpet bounced happily.
" Th-that's...! Thank you very much for helping us...?" The students sighed in relief.
" Hey, you guys. It's almost time for morning training. Kalim will get mad again if you're late-," Jamil paused, " !!!???" he gasped.
"Oh, hello there, Jamil-san! How do you do?" Azul asked with a friendly smile.
" Azul Ashengrotto...! And the Leech Brothers, too. What are you doing here?" Jamil glared at the boy.
" It is unfavorable for us to be returning to our hometown during winter," Jade explained.
" We spend our holidays at the dorm every year~ Aha~," Floyd added.
" Come again...?" Jamil asked.
" By the way, where is Kalim-san? We have come here to return the magic carpet, but," Azul sighed
" Eh? Ah, yeah... I'll take it to him," Jamil offered.
" Oh, but don't bother! This magic carpet is an exceptional piece of treasure, as you know. It will be very troublesome for us if we get blamed for tarnishing it, so I would like to hand it to him and explain our situation in person," Azul insisted.
" Kalim's not the type to be bothered by that, so I'll go and-," Jamil tried to argue.
" Be at ease, I will not charge anything for returning something that is lost," Azul continued.
" We would also like to apologize for getting in the way of the Scarabia students' work last night," Jade smiled.
" We brought some seafood pizza as a gift, too~," Floyd smiled.
" In any case, I would like to hand it to him directly. He is awake already, I presume?" Azul smiled.
" I said that he's not in the moo-Don't walk by me! Azul!" Jamil growled.
" Let us go as well, Y/n-san," Jade smiled.
" Don't fall behind now, 'kay~?" Floyd said as he Floyd his brother.
"I-I'll try," Y/n said weakly as she forced herself to move forward.
"Are you okay Y/n? You look a little pale," Grimm asked as he hopped onto her shoulder.
"Just-Tired I guess," Y/n said simply.
