Mother of Pearl: A Floyd Leech x OC Fanfiction

Chapter 74

"...Is everyone here?" Jamil asked as he scanned the open lounge. It was dark, but curfew hadn't set in yet.

"Yes...and Prefect Kalim is?" the one student prodded.

"He's asleep. I gave him some tea that would help him sleep. So, he'll be fast asleep."

"...and? What did you want to talk about?" Grim got straight to the point. "I'm so tired...I just want to go to sleep."

"We're all tired, so just be quiet," a first year Scarabia snapped.

"Hey! Don't take your cranky attitude out on Grim," I challenged him with a glare.

"I understand you are unsatisfied with how Kalim has been lately," Jamil got our attention again. "All the dorm students are stuck here during break. Harsh training from morning until night. Of course, no one would be happy about this. I don't think what Kalim is doing is right either."

"Then why don't you try to stop him?!" a student shouted.

"I have. Many times...he just won't listen."

"If you guys want to complain, you should do it to Kalim," Grim crossed his arms and gave them all a nasty glare.

"Well...that's..."

"What's with you guys?" Grim scolded.

Yuu picked up where he left off, "You can say all this to Jamil, but not to Kalim?"

"Pretty cowardly if you ask me," I finished.

"That's not it! We've tried, so many times!" one student said.

"But when he isn't acting like this, dorm leader is so nice and kind and fun to be around," the first year said.

"Before he started changing, we all respected our dorm leader so much," the last one explained. "We even thought he was better than other dorm leaders."

"He listened to my worries. Especially when I first enrolled and wasn't used to living in a dorm," the first year mentioned.

"There was a time I was thinking of dropping out, but he stayed up late with me until dawn to train so I could catch up," the other brought up.

The third year gave his opinion, "He's a little wild and unreliable at times, but we all loved our dorm leader. I enjoyed being a student at Scarabia...but now..."

"Yes, Kalim is a good dorm leader. He treats everyone equally and doesn't act like he's above anyone," Jamil agreed with them. "Ah, why did this happen to us..."

"Because he's a good person, you can't really blame him..." Yuu collected their thoughts.

"Therefore, you can't stand up to him when he acts up..." I rubbed my temples.

"Wouldn't it be good for Kalim to go see a doctor?" Grim suggested.

A doctor won't help him since it's magic related. At least I don't think so...

"Surely, that could be a possibility," Jamil contemplated. "If he were to return home, then he could see the Asim family doctor. Though in this current situation, it might be difficult to bring him back home."

"At this rate, things will get worse..." the student slumped.

"Now we are facing a problem that's similar to the issue at the Heartslabyul dorm," Jamil compared. "The students were suffocating under the dorm leader's harsh rules. Nobody was able to stand up to him because they feared Riddle's unique magic."

I looked at Yuu whoe rubbed the back of their neck. "Sounds like fun times."

"Yeah...but it wasn't like he acted one way and suddenly became a tyrant. He was always a tyrant..." Yuu mumbled.
