˗ˏˋ Fight for the eggs ´ˎ˗
Tumblr media
"Finally, Got them all puréed!" Ace cheers, hands in the air before he slumps his shoulders. Besides him is a tired Deuce resting against the counter.
"My arms are killing me." He silently says.
"Kids these days are pretty weak.." The mainstreet ghost says, none of you know why he's here but he's been a huge help so nobody really cares.
"Now then," Trey speaks, adjusting his glasses. "I just need to add butter and sugar to the chestnut paste, and a sensible splash of oyster sauce– that's my secret ingredient!"
Everybody snaps their heads towards him, eyes wide and jaws dropped.
"OYSTER SAUCE??" The cards yell in confusion, clearly astounded at what Trey just said.
"Yep. The umami of the oysters gives the cream a deep, savory flavor. I use this one here: Walrus-brand Young Oyster Sauce. All the best bakers use it in their tarts." Trey innocently explains, innocently to them– at least. Already knowing the joke, you instead turn your attention to the chestnuts paste.
'Just a little taste..' You think, reaching your hand out while everyone is distracted. Unfortunately, the ghost catches you and bonks you on the head with a whisk.
With a huff, you turn your attention back to the rest as Deuce speaks. "Really? But isn't oyster sauce like, super salty?"
"Some folks put chocolate into curry, don't they? Maybe it's the same idea." Ace suggests, though the look on his face means he doesn't entirely believe it.
Unable to restrain from smiling, the green haired lets out a boisterous laugh– clearly entertained by their confusion and naivety. "Pfft- Aha!"
The two turn their heads with perplexed expressions as Trey explains. "I'm totally lying! No one in their right mind would put oyster sauce into a pastry."
Ace and Deuce blink, "EH?!" The two shout, embarrassed with how they believed him so easily.
"So you were just yankin' our chain?!" Ace huffs, annoyed.
"Consider it a lesson to not believe people so easily." Trey chuckles, Grim sends a glare at him.
"This guy seems nice, yet he can tell lies like they're nothing.."
Swiftly changing the topic, Trey sets his gaze back on the task at hand. "Now, we take some cream and.. Oh!"
"Something up?"
"I got too carried away and made too much marron paste." Trey says. "We don't have enough cream to mix it into."
"I can go and buy some," Deuce offers. "Is it sold at the school store?"
"Should be. You can find practically anything there. Mind if I ask you to pick up a few other things while you're there? Two cartons of milk, a dozen eggs, some aluminum baking cups, and about five cans of fruit..."
"I don't think I can carry all that alone. Would you mind coming with me, Y/n?" Deuce asks, turning to face you– stopping Grim from rummaging through the fridge.
"Sure thing!" You nod, grabbing Grim with you as you head out the door.

Upon entering the store, you are overwhelmed at the sight of various colors surrounding the place. From snacks to trinkets, drinks and rugs, hats, masks, books– you can find just about anything in here.
'My school store didn't even have milk..' You sigh.
"Pardon us." Deuce says, taking a look around in awe. "This place is amazing.. crystal skulls, grimoires.. What kinda texidermy is this?"
"Does this place reallly sell cream?" Grim pipes in, trying to paw at the strange orb on the counter before you stop him.
"Hey, my lost little imps!" A booming voice speaks up, you turn to see an eccentric man clad in purple. "Welcome to Mr. S's mystery shop!" He welcomes, before turning your attention to all sorts of strange things.
"What can I do for you today? A charm for uncharted lands? Mummy of an ancient king–" How does he have that? "Or perhaps some cursed tarot cards?" Why does he have that?
"We've got a list here.." Deuce interrupts, handing him the piece of paper. Sam carefully reads the list and nods.
"You've got quite the sweet lineup, okay! Coming right up." He says, walking off to gather the stuff.
While waiting, you decide to look around the store, you peek through shelved of sweets and sauces, to comics like "That time I got forced into a demon school" or "I woke up as a lowly dumb evil villainous character and slowly leveled up and became a god."
What a mouthful.
Then– Something shiny in one of the boxes caught your eye, you grab it to observe closer. Hard, long, a metalic gray in color, somewhat heavy.. Perfect for self defense, perhaps.
"Y/n, something caught your eye?" The blue haired boy asks, peeking through your shoulder.
You turn around and show him the object in your hands. "I want this."
"...A metal bat?"
"Yep."
Grim and Deuce stay silent in concern, questioning why you would need something like that.
"You're not gonna kill someone, are ya?"
"Grim!"
Deuce shushed the beast, before hesitantly turning back to you– who is just staring at them blankly.
"I just like shiny objects." That was of course a lie.
"I see.." Deuce lets out a sigh of relief, though he doesn't seem entirely convinced.
Sam steps in, carrying the bags. "Sorry for the wait." He says as you take it from his hands.
"Sammy, can I get this bat too?" You ask.
"Sure thing!"
Deuce pays for the ingredients while you pay for your bat, which is surprisingly very cheap. The three of you (with you grabbing Grim before he knocks something off the shelves.) step out the store with a quick thanks to Sam.
"Yuu, that bag of cans looks heavy." Deuce says, turning to you. "Let me take it, there's a trick to carrying heavy bags." He offers.
"There is?"
"Yeah, my mom always bought more than needed during sales. Since I'm the only guy in the house, it was up to me to do the heavy lifting.." He pauses, giving you an apologetic look. "My bad! didn't mean to talk your ears off.."
You give him a polite and sincere smile, "You must really care for your mom.
The blue haired boy seemed takened back by your words and smile, flustered and hesitant to speak. However, as he processes your words, the look on his face is quickly replaced by a dark and gloomy espression. "That's not true, I always made mom-"
Before he could finish, someone bumps into him, causing the bags in his hands to drop to the ground– crushing the eggs inside.
"Agh! The eggs!" Grim squawked, Deuce takes one look at the bag– the yellow liquid oozing out and into the concrete ground below.
"Shit! The whole pack of eggs, destroyed!" He curses to himself.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" The boy that bumped into him says, he fixes his sight onto Deuce and quickly remembers who he is. "Hang on, aren't you the pieces of shits that ruined my carbonara?"
As he says this, his friend blinks and turns to you, squeaking at the sight of your unnerving stare and the tight grip you have on the metal bat near your hip. He grips onto the foul mouthed boy.
"D-dude! Calm down, let's apologize and leave already!" He begs, his voice cracking in desperation.
"What, you scared? Don't be a wuss, they were just lucky that time!" Idiot number 1 responds, but guessing by the sweat forming on the side of his cheeks and the way his eyes frantically switch from looking to you, the bat, and anywhere else, he was afraid.
As if his entire life was enlightened, the one with more common sense threw that sense out the window as he nodded. Turning to you with narrowed eyes and tightened fists. "You guys seriously just can't get out of trouble.."
Deuce stayed silent for a bit, then took a deep breath, "You were the ones who jumped out from behind the corner." He said calmly, though you see from the corner of your eye how his shoulders tensed.
"Even at lunch, it wasn't as if you couldn't eat the egg anymore, and yet you still tried to pick a fight with us. You do realize you just ruined a whole pack of our eggs, don't you?"
"Yeah yeah!" Grim piped in, cheering the navy blue haired on. His claws are out and his eyes are narrowed in a cutely menacing way.
"And? You sayin' it's our fault?" Idiot number 1 says, really reinforcing his idiocy by questioning something very obvious to anyone with half a brain.
"Yes." Deuce flatly says. "Please pay for the eggs, and apologize to the chickens too."
At that, your body shook– not from fear or rage but from the sheer will of your entire mind, soul, and body trying not to burst out laughing as the scene replayed in your head. Your face contorts into a strange wrinkled expression as you took a deep breath.
"Huh? They're just eggs, what are you gettin' so worked up about?" Idiot number 2 says, it astonished you how much of a hypocrite one can be.
"..Excuse me?"
They looked at Deuce with mocking grins, pointing at the eggs– idiot number 1 speaks. "They ain't on the ground, so you can still eat them. Don't sweat the small stuff."
Ah, they weren't being hypocrites, they were being assholes.
'That makes a whole lot more sense.' You turn to Deuce, seeing how he seethed in anger– his fist shook and his whole body looked tense as he looked down with a shadow cast over his eyes.
"We saved you a ton of time breaking them!"
"Ahahaha!"
God, their laughs were as obnoxious as their faces. It took everything in you to not bash in their face right then and there.
"Laughing matter.."
"Huh?"
You really shouldn't, since Deuce is the one who will.
"I SAID THIS ISN'T A LAUGHING MATTER, YOU ASSHOLES!" The delinquents flinched at the volume of his voice– sneering at them with a look of distaste, his veins popping out as he reached his hands out and grabbed idiot number 1 by the collar.
"What makes you think you get to decide what matters to us?! See those eggs? They were gonna become a delicious tart to make up for not gettin' to hatch into chicks! That makin' sense to your thick heads or what?! Huh?!" He spat out in a fit of rage.
Idiot number 1 quickly released himself from Deuce's grip with the help of his friend– squirming back as his heart thumped and face was a sweaty mess.
"E-eek!! What's up with this guy all of the sudden?" Idiot number 2's voice cracked, shrinking back at the intense glare of Deuce.
"If you don't wanna pay for the six eggs you broke.. then I hope you're ready to get punched in that same amount!"
"WHAA?!"
"SQUARE UP YOU PIECES OF SHITS!"
Oh boy this is not safe for work, "GRIM AVERT YOUR EYES!"

˗ˏˋ The lion’s tail ´ˎ˗
Tumblr media
The sweet scent of pollen mixed with a foul, almost rotten scent tickled your nose as you sneezed. Eyes a bit watery as the lush and blooming sight of herbs and shrubs blends in with the trees and bushes of the woods.
“Geuh…So many flowers.” You sneeze again.
Shortly after that joke you pulled, Trey had told you and your friends that the best way to apologise to Riddle would be by baking a mont blanc tart. So you and your friends decided to pick some (or rather, too many.) chestnuts to make it.
(Unfortunately to you, you were forced to apologise as well because the joke didn’t go too well.)
So now you and the rest find yourselves in the woods behind campus, picking chestnuts.
“Whoa! There really are a ton of chestnuts ‘round here!” Grim looked around, jumping excitedly at the sight before letting out a hiss– “Myah! The chestnut spines pricked my paws!”
You picked him up, gently caressing the hurt paws as his ears flatten.
“We can’t do this with our bare hands.” Deuce speaks up. “And we need something to put them in too.”
“Maybe we can find some supplies in the botanical garden?” Ace suggests, get a nod from you and Deuce.
“Let’s take a look.” Deuce says, taking the lead as he strides to the garden.
Tumblr media
𓆩♡𓆪
Tumblr media
Entering the garden, you greet the greeny scenes with a sneeze.
“You okay, prefect?” Ace asks, raising a brow in concern.
You nod and smile, “Just allergies, I’ll be fine.”
“This place is rather large, we should split up and look for a groundskeeper.” Deuce suggests.
“Sure, dibs on the right side.” Ace says, heading off while Deuce takes the left. You and Grim are left to continue looking around in front.
“Hey, come look at this!” Grim calls out, sniffing a bush of various kinds of fruit that emit a strong sweet scent.
“There's a ton of fruit growing here! Smells like they're ripe, too!”
You smile at the excited beast, and turn your gaze to the ground. Walking around– you notice something long flickering against the ground.
Smiling mischievously– you raise your foot and stomp it as hard as you can.”
“KYAAHHHHH!!”
You expected a scream, but not that kind of scream.
Clearing his throat, the victim of your actions scurries back as he sits up straight. Sending a glare that feels like a predator circling a helpless bunny to your direction with his fangs bared.
“Hey! You got some nerve steppin' on my tail like that.”
You smile, feeling your heart bang against your chest as you suddenly somewhat regret your decision.
But oh well, you never really liked him in the early chapters anyway so why hide it?
“Why, I’m so sorry sir!” You bow, your voice insincere and sarcastic. “I thought your tail was a grotesque snake, I never thought it was a part of someone.”
Your innocent seeming eyes land on his face as he gets up, he snarls at you and your act– his tail twitching as he huffs.
“Are you the groundskeeper?” Grim pipes in, eyeing the lion up and down. “Don’t think you should be talking to students that way, bud.”
“There isn’t anything worse than being in a good nap and havin’ somebody step on your tail.” The man huffs, you and Grim just think– ‘Why sleep here in the first place..’
Leona blinks, taking a good look at you one last time as realization sets in on his face. “You..I know you..”
‘Oh boy, here comes the daily “you’re magicless” reminder.’ You sigh, staring blankly.
“The one punch kid?”
“What.”
You feel your brain go blank as you stare, dumbfounded. “One what.”
Leona ignores you as he gets all up in your personal space, taking a whiff of your scent.
“What the fuck are you doing.” He takes a step back at that, his nose scrunching up.
“When was the last time you showered?”
“When was the last time anybody loved you?”
Leona blinks, his brows furrowing at your words. Annoyance washing over him as he lets out an exasperated sigh.
“I guess it’s true..you really don’t smell of magic at all.” He softly says, what does magic even smell like? “Yet you still managed to send those kids flying..”
You’re really starting to regret ever drinking anything, but at least the potion will hopefully be useful in the near future.
“Well, it doesn’t matter how strong you are.” The air turns cold as Leona digs his heels to the ground– his hip slightly turned. Guess the apology didn’t work. “You’re not getting away with stomping on my tail like that, that’s costing you a tooth.”
“What kind do you want?”
“What.”
The question catches both Leona and Grim off guard, slowly blinking at you.
“What kind? Human ones?” You repeat, a blank expression on your face as if it’s the most normal response in the world.
“Want them shiny white, gold, yellow, maybe a lil’ sharp?” Leona backs up.
“I don’t stop at just teeth too, I’ll give you a tongue if you want.” You suggest, “Or a nail, maybe a heart if the laws here are different.”
“What the fuck-“
“Leona! There you are!”
The three heads turn to the new guy calling out to Leona, walking towards him and sparing a quick glance at you and Grim.
“I knew I'd find you here! We got after-school classes today, reme-“
Before he could even finish, Leona immediately grabs his shoulder and drags him away.
“Wha- HEY?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING??”
“Shut it, I don’t want to continue staying even a second here any longer.”
You watch as the two leave, pouting childishly. “Ah, poo~ I scared him away.”
Grim looks at you with a concerned expression, your face suddenly flicking to a more cheery and carefree expression.
“Oh well~! Let’s get the chestnuts already.”

˗ˏˋ Talks and a request ´ˎ˗
Note: Sorry this took so long, school got in the way, might be the last post until the finals are over.
Tumblr media
After the sudden dispute, you and the others took a seat at an empty table– one that some other students definitely did not give up to you after what they have seen.
"Y/n! What a pleasant show you've put on~" The cheery voice of a diamond says, the card duo and Grim practically jump out their skins in surprise as the ginger sits down besides you.
"I didn't mean to do that though..." You mumble, though your words went unheard as Cater slumps and wraps an arm around your shoulder.
"That was super cool! How'd you get so strong?" He asked, eyes sparkling and hand already on his phone ready to make a post about what ever secret technique you use.
"Cater, let's not bother them while they're eating." A certain green haired boy says.
You and the others look up to see Trey appear, taking a seat next to Cater.
"Hang on- Who're you?" Ace asks, and Trey gives a sheepish apology.
"I'm Trey Clover, I'm a third hear in Heartslabyul like Cater." He says, "And you're that student who got put into ramsh- I mean, the unused building, correct?" Trey questions, turning his eyes to meet yours.
"Yep, and it's fine you if you say ramshackle." You say, mumbling that last sentence a bit as you take a bite of your food.
"Anyway! Didn't cha trick us into painting the roses for ya!?" Grim shouts, pointing fingers (claws?) at Cater.
The ginger pouts, crossing his arms. "So mean! I had no choice, it's our dorms rule y'know~"
"You were grinning the whole time though.." Deuce deadpans, staring blanky at the diamond.
"Now now, Deucy. Those rules only apply inside our dorm. Outside, I'm a whole 'nother person!"
"Don't call me Deucy!"
You giggled at the interaction between the two, and listened half heartedly as Grim asks about the dorms and the Heartslabyul 3rd years begin to explain.
Soon, they start talking about Diasomnia.
'EEEK! I COMEPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT MY BBG MALLEUS' You brought a hand to your lips as your jaw hung low in shock, lightly slapping your cheeks to which Ace raised a brow at.
"Diasomnia..Ah, look there." Cater points at a group of extinguished students, they seem to be glowing in all their glory– a whole another level and vibe from the rests.
"Diasomnia is filled with exceptionally talented and great, promising magicians. They're prodigies at almost everything." Trey says.
"They have this kind of aura that makes it hard to approach them, even their dorm leader has this mega "don't you dare talk to me" vibe." Cater adds.
Ace peers to the side, taking a glimpse of the group before confusion appears on his face. "Why is there a kid with them?"
At that, you look to see a boy with choppy pink striped hair, wearing clothes to large for him, he had pointy ears that twitched at Ace's question and ruby eyes that looked to the side, eyeing your table.
"The school allows students enter by skip years, but that's that the case here." Trey says, pushing his glasses up. "He's a third year, his name is.."
"Lilia, Lilia Vanrouge."
The sound of his deep voice startled everyone, looking up to see the little bat floating upside down. His hair fell down and his eyes trailed over his little details of everyone's faces before meeting yours.
"H-he just teleported over here!" Grim screeched, panting heavily with a paw over where his heart should be.
"Are you all curious about my age?" Lilia chuckled lightly, placing himself in the right position before blood pools to his head. "My cute appearance might be bursting with youth, but as your friend said, I am not exactly the age one would call a child."
"Bursting with youth..?" Trey mumbled, sweat forming on the side of his face.
"There's no need to simply look on from afar." Lilia says, giving a little grin with welcoming eyes. "Come up and speak any time you wish. We at Diasomnia always welcome everyone with open arms."
As he says this, he steps over to you, placing a firm grip on your shoulders with a gaze that quickens your heart pace.
'Holy fuck he's so coolaksiqksiqa. AAAAAAAAAAAAA'
Ar his words, your table hesitantly turned their gaze to Lilia's words. You calm yourself and follow their steps– meeting eyes with a certain silver haired boy and green haired simp.
"I don't think your friends feel the same way.." Deuce sweats, giving a blank stare.
Lilia chuckles at that. "Apologies for interrupting you in your meal. Until we meet again."
The bat appears back in his seat, settled in and immediately talking with his group as one last gaze is sent to you.
"Our table is almost over 20 meters away from them, yet he still heard us..?" Ace breathed, shuddering slightly.
"W-well, Diasomnia has many peculiar members." Trey says. "Many of their students excel at all kinds of magic. Their dorm leader, Malleus Draconia, is counted among the top five mages in the world."
"For real, though, Malleus is like, the most super of super crazy powerful." Cater adds, before giving a grin to you, "Maybe you're as strong as him, seeing as you sent that troublemaker earlier flying so easily."
You blush, banging your head on the table– Grim almost jumps in his seat and gives you a worrying look as Cater laughs.
"Though on the topic, our dorm leader is his own brand of craziness." The ginger says.
"So true!" Ginger number 2 joins, "All I did was eat a single piece of tart and he collared me. His narrow mindedness is super crazy."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Sure are. Blew right past "strict" and straight into being a tyrant."
Oh, dear, this is quite awkward.
The mood was stiff and you couldn't help but feel as if fear had struck your heart.
Deuce hesitantly points behind Ace, "Dude..behind you."
The ginger follows his leader in confusion, only to be met with the face of the very person he was talking about.
"DORMLEADER?!"
Riddle had a menacing glare, crossing his arms as he stared dwon the boy.
"R-Riddle! You're super crazy cu-"
"Cater, if you run your mouth I'll take it off together with your head."
That shut him up, not without a huff and a pout.
"Ffgna! This is the guy who put that weird collar on me!" Grim says, shaking in his fur as he hides himself behind you.
"And you're the new students who caused all that fuss about a possible expulsion yesterday." The said students– including you, all had your heads down in shame.
"For goodness' sake, the headmaster is far too soft." Riddle sighs, rubbing his temples. "All he has to do is lop off the heads of everyone who doesn't follow the rules."
"He may look innocent, but the words coming out of his mouth sure do suggest otherwise.." Ace mumbled, eyes twitching a bit.
"The headmaster may have forgiven you, but make no mistake, the next time you choose to break the rules, I will mosf certainly not." Riddle declares, chills are sent down to students who weren't even close enough to hear.
"I was prepared to take off your collar if you learned your lesson..but.."
His voice suddenly became muffled to you, your eyes trailed to his hand and pen, the way his body moved fluidly along with his words that asserted complete authority had given you a funny idea.
"Following the Laws of the Queen of Hearts, No. 339, "Tea after a meal should always be lemon with two sugars. I must go buy sugar cubes from the school store, so I'll be on my way." The red head states, leaving.
"Phew, that was a close one.." Cater lets out a heavy sigh.
"That guy is so obnoxious."
"Hey! That's rude!"
As Deuce lightly scolds the beast, whispers begin to grow and eyes follow the dormleader's disappearing figure, you take that as your que and leave the table– arousing concern and confusion.
You walk right up to Riddle, tapping his shoulder. He turns to you with a perplexed expression. "Is something wrong?"
"Can you collar me?"
"Y/N??!!!"

˗ˏˋ Sudden informant and new title ´ˎ˗
Note: Yet another new side oc- Can't believe it took me so long to write this silly thing.
Tumblr media
You had left Heartslabyul shortly before Cater could kick you and the others out, you weren't sure about Grim and the boys, but there is no way you're gonna let an ipad kid try to beat you up.
Instead– You decide to explore nrc and take in all the details you couldn't before! Obviously, being such a prestigious magic school, the money was well spent on making sure each and every little detail was perfect, as well as accessible to every student.
It was unfortunate that the novel and game doesn't spend too much time talking about the school and dorm's architecture. You love how each dorm suits it's students and matches the environment they grew up in, it probably felt like a second home to the students. (You wish you could say the same about your own..)
'Hm?' You come to a halt as you notice that you don't recognize the place you ended up in, clearly a part of the school that was never drawn or mentioned before.
"Where am I..?" You mutter to yourself, perhaps it wasn't exactly the best idea to explore the school on your own, especially when so absentmindedly– only focusing on the details.
'Isn't this a part of the library?'
You look around you and see many shelves filled with books, all dusty and unkept, in clear contrary to the clean and tidy part of the library you were just in.
"You're in the restricted section of the library."
You jump, startled at the unfamiliar voice that just spoke to you. Expecting to see a ghost, you turn and come to lock eyes with a pale turquoise haired young man.
"Oh- um, who're you?" You ask, taking a step back. The boy silghtly pouts.
"Isn't good manners to introduce yourself first?" He huffs, though doesn't show any sort of malice or anger.
"Ah- right, I'm..Y/n." You say, noticing the pointy ears, still hanging on to the belief that giving a fae your name is no good news.
"Well, Nice to meet you Y/n!" The boy greets cheerfully, his pout replaced with a gleeful smile. "I'm Rex Mikko."
You almost flinch when he reaches out his hand, hesitant as you take it witn your own and give it a slight shake.
"So, how come the headmaster allowed a beast and a magicless human attend here?"
You feel a little ticked off at the question, 'And just earlier he was talking 'bout good manners..'
Well, you might as well boast about your great accomplishments you've made so far with the characters from your fav novel and game.
"Not too sure, then again, I kinda fought a monster in the dwarves cave and bought a magic crystal." You tried your best to seem modest, but as you hear your own words, you cringe slightly.
Rex doesn't seem to have the same reaction.
"WHA?! SERIOUSLY?! YOU?! HOW?!" You wince at the volume of his voice, then notice the bright expression he has on his face, almost as if he admires you.
"Well, um Meandafewotherswerethreatenedwithexpulsion,gotsenttothedwarvesminetogetamagiccrystal,therewasthismonsterprotectingthestonessoIgotthebeastandothertwotoworktogether,Idistractedthemonsterwhiletheyusedtheirmagictofightit."
You took a deep breath, "Guess the headmaster was impressed at our teamwork at allowed me and the beast to enroll as one student."
He hung onto every word, understanding despite you saying at as fast as you can, his eyes sparkled with excitement and awe.
"That's...so cool!" Rex exclaimed.
'THANK GOD HE'S AN IDIOT!!' You internally cheered, though you technically told the truth it sounds so unbelievable that anyone including yourself would think it's a lie.
"Mx. Y/n, that's so admirable of you!" Why the sudden honorific? Oh well. "Even though your magicless, you– an averagely weak human managed to pull through such a terrifying experience and get two students and a beast to work together!"
'Seriously what's up with this guy-' You deadpan, slowly blinking at the boy.
"I'll definitely be cheering you on!" Rex beamed.
"Nonono- There's no need, I'm not an idol-"
"I'll get going now, I don't wanna waste your time." He so rudely interrupts. "I'll either be around campus or class 1-8, if not, come find me at Scarabia! I'll be happy to teach you about anything regarding magic or anything else." With that, the cheerful fae hops off happily.
"...." You are left in the restricted section, speechless and dazed.
You sigh and decide to head off too as you notice a certain navy haired boy and beast running inside, along with a ginger far behind, panting.
"I guess I got myself an informant..?"

"I can't believe you left us there.." Ace rested his head on the desk, furrowing his brows as he groans.
You merely chuckled, giving a half-assed apology. "So, what happened there?"
"Cater-Senpai said if Ace wants to apologize to the dormleader, Ace has too replace the tart." Deuce explains, "He then kicked us out after that."
"That guy's so annoying! He used his magic thingy to make clones and fight us!" Grim huffs, crossing his paws. "It was four against, like..so many!"
The beast quickly shuts up as the door opens, and in comes a fur coated man with a whip. "So you're all the fresh faces starting my class today."
Crewel observes the class, taking note of all the various hair colors, commenting about it. "I'm going to slap all the names and appearances of 100 kinds of both medical and poisonous herbs into your tiny brains, so be sure to take notes and memorize them, pups!"
You shuddered, the thought of your professor beating you up with knowledge would not be a pretty sight. You get your pen ready.
"Why does that guy have a whip..?" Grim mutters, but his question goes unanswered as you merely shrugged and took a sip of some potion in your hands.
The next teacher he questioned was the history teacher.
"My name is Trein, and this is my family, Lucius." The man says, before going on about what he will be teaching.
"Mrrrrraooooooowwwwwwr!"
Grim blinks slowly at the cat, tilting his head. "Are animals allowed in classes..?"
Ace chuckled, "Well, you're here, aren't you?"
"Why you-"
Lucius hops on the desk, sitting in front of the beast, and blinks slowly back at him.
"...mew?"
And lastly, Vargas.
"Name's Vargas. I'm in charge of toughening you bean sprouts up." The pe teacher says. "Being a great mage starts with your body! Just look at the muscles you get from eating 100 raw eggs a day!" He flexes his muscles.
"Is that even healthy for humans.." Grim blinked, he has heard of salmonella and food poisoning, he thought humans would have stayed away from eating raw food.
But he guesses that humans really like their eggs, because one and his stupid lackey is arguing over it.
"Hand over that chicken as compensation!" The delinquent says, reaching his hand out.
"Mrra?! Now way! This is my chicken!" Grim yells, grapping onto the plate protectively.
The other delinquent clicked his tongue. "Huh? You're the new kid on the block. This is what you call paying respects to your elders?"
'How're we supposed to know your age though..' You stare at them blankly.
"What's with that dumb look, you punk?!" The senior yells, reaching his fist out to your cheek.
Just as Deuce and Ace is about to jump in and shield you, both delinquents are sent flying by a punch.
The whole cafeteria gawks at you, fist barely scratched. You look at yourself then the boys you just punched, and sweated nervously.
"The hell?! isn't that kid magicless?!"
"They sent them flying with one punch..could it be.."
"They're actually strong?!"
"I should have not drank that potion.." You muttered.
If the students start calling you 'one punch kid.' Don't pay it any attention.

Y/n L/n, a simple minded reader, is one of the biggest fans of a popular web novel, Twisted wonderland. In their shock after finding out it has ended, they froze in the middle of a busy street and got hit by a truck.
Dizzy and confused, they have awoken in a coffin in the world they adore so much, and must use their knowledge to survive and stop the boys from overblotting.

˗ˏˋ Finally, becoming a student! ´ˎ˗
Kind of a short and boring chapter, slower updates for now cuz school just started a during sunday, sorry!
Tumblr media
Crowley darts his eyes left right, looking at you pouting in your seat, pushed on to it by Deuce, and the angered beast on his own seat, not making eye contact with you.
"I've been meaning to ask, but.." He sweats, "What happened between these two?"
Ace sighs, "Grim ate a rock off the floor and Y/n tried to make him throw it up." He explains nonchalantly.
Deuce shudders at the memory. "They suddenly had the strength of a hundred bears, Ace and I barely managed to pry them off Grim."
"...I see.." Crowley blinks, before relaxing in his seat. "In any case.."
Then he sobs.
The cards and the beast flinch, taken back by Crowley's sudden burst of crocodile tears.
"Oooh....Ohhh.... OOOOOHHHHH!! Sob..!!"
"WHAT'S WITH THIS GUY??" Grim questions, staring at the crying crow.
"In all these that I've been headmaster.." Crowley suddenly calms down, speaking again. "For the day to come that students of Night Raven College to hold hands and defeat a common foe!" He cheers.
"What?! I did not hold this guys hands!" Deuce shouts, disgusted.
"I would never do that either, gross!" Ace gags, before raising a brow. "Wait, how old are you, Headmaster??"
"I am overwhelmed with emotion." Crowley ignores the question, looking at you. "This incident confirms it. You are without a doubt a future beast tamer!" He exclaims, pointing at you.
"Students of Night Raven College are budding mages chosen by the Dark Mirror. But due to their excellence, many of them turn out to be prideful, egoistical, and self-centered individuals who never give a thought about cooperating with others."
"You're really not saying anything good.."
"You cannot use magic. But maybe, precisely because you cannot use magic means you could give instructions to magic users and get them to cooperate." Ouch
"Surely a mediocre, run-of-the-mill human like you is exactly what this school needs right now!" Double ouch.
"He's just insulting everyone now!" Ace widens his eyes.
"I have no doubt that your existence is essential to the future of this academy." The masked man begins again.
"So says my intuition as an educator. Along with rescinding Mr. Trappola and Mr. Spade's expulsion, I shall give you qualifcations to attend Night Raven College as a student."
"EEEHHH?!"
"Cool."
Crowley coughs into his hands, ignoring your lack of reaction. "But, there is one condition." He says.
"You can not use magic and complete all your lessons, that's where Grim comes in."
Said beast's ears perk up.
"You have proven to me that you possess enough talent to become a mage." Crowley continues. "Therefore, I shall enroll you two as one student."
Grim's blue eyes light up as he hears this, bewildered. "Fggnaa?! I can go to this school too..as a student?" He asks.
Crowley nods his head."Yes, provided that you don't let ever an incident like yesterday occur again! Do we have an agreement?"
Grim stays silent, still not believing his ears. "Fggnaa..W-we..we can.." His words don't come out.
Your eyes soften and you smile, clapping your hands lightly. "That's great, Grim!"
Grim smiles, jumping out of his seat. "Fgggnnaaa! I did!" He cheers.
Crowley then opens his drawer, taking out a shiny crystal. "Well then, I shall give the symbol of your status as a student of Night Raven College. A magic crystal." He says
"Whoa! A magic crystal?" Grim widens his eyes in surprise, staring at the gem.
"It is the norm for students to have their magic crystals in the form of a magic pen." Crowley explains.
"But, You wouldn't be able to grip it in your paws, right? It is a special custom."
Crowley begins to smile, a sign he's going to praise himself. You immediately tune out his voice.
'Oh, I wonder if Ace would like to eat dinner with us.' You think, you need him to not steal the tart if you don't want Riddle to overblot.
"I did it!" Grim brings you out of your thoughs. "I'm so cool! I got my own special magic crystal collar~"
"Listen, Y/n." Crowley calls. "As you can see, Grim is not accustomed to human society. It is up to you to make sure he doesn't cause any trouble!" He says.
Ace smirks, laying a hand on your shoulder as he chuckles. "Look at you! School's just started and you're already a prefect?"
Deuce brings his hand to his lips. "I see. There's only two of you in your dorm.." He mutters. His fist hitting his palm as he smiles. "So monitoring Grim makes you a prefect!"
"Pufft!" Ace laughs. "Isn't that unheard of? For there to be a prefect who is unable to use magic."
His gaze softens and he gives a genuine. "Nice. It's cool. A superviser who is unable to use magic!"
You smile along with the cards and the beast, "I'll do my best!" You exclaim.
"Good luck, prefect." Ace says.
"I see, a prefect." Crowley murmurs. "I do have a work request.. and having a title makes it very conve..I mean wonderful!" He corrects himself.
"Prefect, I entrust you with this."
Crowley hands you a familiar camera. 'I almost forgot about this.'
"This is nicknamed the 'ghost camera'." The crow says, your eyes glued to the camera as you observe the littlest detail.
"Ooh, my grandma's told me about those." Ace mentions. "It's a super old magic tool, right?"
"It's not that old.." Crowley sighs, displeased with the description. "It's true this may have been invented during your great grandmother's time, or your great-great grandmother's time."
"There is a very unique spell cast on it." He explains, "It not only captures the subjects' form, but also a part of their soul."
Deuce raises a brow. "A part of their souls..?" He questions.
"Memory: A fragment of Remembrance" is another name for it." Crowley says, "Further more, the most interesting thing about this camera is that the souls of the photographer and the photographed become deeply connected and the memory in the photo comes jumping out!" He finishes.
"It comes jumping out?" Grim asks, the crow nods.
"Depending on how close the subject and the photographer are, the picture could move like a video." Crowley explains. "Or bring to life the situation in the photo. Fascinating, right?"
"Bring the photo to life? It's lkke a ghost photographer!" Deuce exclaims.
"Yes, therefore it is called a 'ghost camera.'" Crowley says.
"People would scream 'ghost!' in surprise when the memory comes jumping out."
"A camera for freaking people out.." Ace furrows his brows, who would make something like that?
"Prefect." Crowley turns to you. "Please take photos of Grim and the other students to leave behind many of your memories of your lives in this academy." He says.
"La-lalala~ Take lots of cool photos of me~" Grim sings.
"Be sure to leave a memory especially when someone misbehaves. It's the most suitable way to report to me, Right?" The headmaster speaks. "To give you such a rare item, does my graciousness know no bounds?"
"Thank you headmaster." You smile.
Crowley smiles back at you, "It is already late. Let's save the detailed conversation for tomorrow." He says, "Return to your dormitories, everyone."
You all nod and leave the room. Grim finds his way in your arms as you picked him up.
"La lala~" Grim begins singing again, "I start as a student of Night Raven College tomorrow. I'm gonna leave you all and take the top spot!" He says.
Ace furrows his brows. "You talk big for someone who is only half a student.." He sighs, "Anyways, it's fine." You see his eyes soften slightly.
"We're classmates tomorrow, Prefect, Grim." Deuce speaks up, smiling.
"I'm glad to attend here with you guys." You say with a smile.
The tip of Ace's ears turn red as he scratches the back of his neck. "Saying stuff like that is really embarrassing, will you stop?"
Deuce chuckles. "That's true. Even if we don't want to, we're going to see each other everyday. I'm even in Heartslabyul with this jerk." He points to Ace, making him glare.
"The thought of having to see Mr. Serious mug everyday makes me sick." The ginger gags.
"That's my line, truant Ace."
"You guys are still fighting?"
A familiar voice joins in the conversation, you all look up to see the ghosts from the mainstreet.
"GAAHHH!" You all scream, you feel your heart jumping out of your ribcage.
"GRIM! FIRE!"
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"
The beast still follows your orders, and a he breaths out a burst of flame aiming for the ghost.
"How rude! I don't wanna talk anyway..!" The ghost's voice echoes as he disappears of to who knows where.
Grim pants, shaking. "It's that ghost again..."
"Who even are they?" You ask. Ace turns his head to you.
"You seriously don't know?" You raise a brow, making him facepalm himself. "Right, another world.." He mutters, recalling you telling him of your situation on the way to the Hall of Mirrors.
"He's the Mainstreet Ghost, randomly appears a few years ago and mostly sticked to the, well, Mainstreet." Ace explains, "He quickly became popular outside of NRC because of him helping others or spooking them."
"And everyone is okay with him staying here..?" Grim asks, the card duo nod.
"He's seen in a good light thanks to his navigations and information about the great seven, so the headmaster just let him be, I guess.." Deuce says.
'None of that is helpful to finding out why he isn't in the story.' You groan.
"Oh, yeah." You perk your head up. "You guys wanna eat at our dorm? Dinner must've already passed at your dorm."
Ace shakes his head, "Nah, I'll just eat whatever is in the fridge." He says.
"I'm not that hungry either." Deuce mentions, "It's already late anyway, we shouldn't impose."
"It's not imposing if I'm inviting you." You sigh, "Oh well, don't steal a tart or something."
Ace raises a brow, confused by your words, but doesn't question it.
"I'm hungry!" Grim says, raising his paws like a toddler.
"I know, I know.. Let's just eat leftovers." You mutter, he seems content with that.
"As long as it tastes good it's good for me!"

The roses are painted bright red with brushes held by card soldiers, singing as they do so.
"Hurry, hurry! We have to paint them all red!" The Ace of Clovers rushes.
A small blonde girl clad in blue raises a brow, "Why do you need to paint a roses red?" She asked.
"Well, the fact is, Miss." The Two of Clovers begins. "We planted white roses by mistake."
"The Queen, she likes them red," The Ace of Clovers continues. "Of she saw white roses instead, each of us will quickly lose our heads!"
The blonde gasps, putting a hand to her mouth. "Goodness!" She exclaims.
"Since this is the part we dread," The Three of Clovers speaks up. "We're painting the roses red."
Your head begins to ache at the sound of the door banging loudly, Grim turns and groans at the noise.
'I just told him not to steal a tart..' You scowl, getting up from the bed already.
You and Grim walk to the foyer, you immediately open the door to reveal a collared Knave of Hearts.
"Ace, what're you doing here this late.. Gah?! And what's with the collar?" Grim questions, looking at the heart-shaped collar on Ace's neck.
"I'm never going back to Hellslabyul ever again! Starting today, I'm going to join your dorm!" The ginger announces, surprising Grim.
"You WHAT?!" Grim shouts.
"How about we talk about this inside?" You say, letting Ace in.
You go to the kitchen to make some tea while Ace and Grim go over to the living room, sitting down on the torn couch.
"Geez, this place is a mess." Ace darts his eyes around. Grim huffs, crossing his paws.
"If you wanna be apart of this dorm then deal with it!"
You return with a small tea set that you found in the cupboards and the kettle, pouring tea for everyone in the room.
"Thanks." Ace smiles, blowing on the hot tea.
"So, what exactly happened?" You ask, sitting down.
"That's the same collar that red-haired senior put on me during the entrance ceremony." Grim mentions, "What's it doing on you?"
"I ate a tart." Ace replied nonchalantly, sipping on his tea.
"Huh?" Grim blinks. "A tart?"
"You heard me. Literally just that." Ace sighs. You slouch in your seat as you cross your arms.
"Didn't I tell you not to? Truly, you are such a knave."
Ace looks at you with confusion, raising a brow, a signal for explanation that you did not get.
"There were three whole tarts! So I just took one slice!" Ace yells. "Then that tyrant of a dormleader collared me for it! Saying something about them belonging to him." The ginger huffs.
"........"
"........"
"You're both in the wrong here, y'know?" Grim speaks up first.
Ace finishes his tea. "Don't you think it's a little much to seal my magic because of one tiny tart? It's like having my arms and legs chained up." He says.
"Besides, there were three whole tarts in there! There's no way he can finish them."
"If there were that many tarts, don't you think it might be for a party?" You ask.
"Yeah, like a birthday party!" Grim adds.
"A birthday party...?" Ace mutters, looking down as he thinks.
"Did you apologize?" Ace furrows his brows at your question, clenching his fists.
"Isn't this the part where you say he's being to much of a power freak?" The ginger pouts, you just shrug your shoulders.
"You're also at fault for eatin his food." Grim says.
"Just apologize to him tomorrow."
"Fine, whatever." Ace grunts, displeased with both of your reactions and lack of sympathy. "But you're coming with me! This is your idea afterall." He adds.
"That's fine with me." You nod.
"So, where should I sleep for the night?" The knave asks,Grim gives him a puzzled look.
"Wait, you were actually being serious?" The beasts questioned. "All the rooms but ours is still a mess. Better get scrubbing." He tells Ace.
"Bleh, I am not cleaning up." The ginger then turns to you. "I'm practically a noodle and won't take up much space, so let me stay in your room!" He begs.
"Sure." You smile.
"W-wait. Seriously?" Ace blinks, surprised by your quick answer.
"No."

You were at the door before the Two of Spades even knocked, unlocking the door as he did.
"Ah, good morning prefect." Deuce greets. "Is Ace here?"
You simply nod. "He's eating breakfast with Grim, wanna join us?" You ask.
"No, it's fi-" You don't let him answer as you drag him and throw him on the chair, a plate of eggs and sausage already on the table for him along with orange juice.
"Deuce? What're you doing here?" Ace asks in between bites.
"I, um, heard what happened from the other residents." Deuce says, dazed as his eyes are fixated on the plate of food.
He then turns to Ace, a look of disappointment on his face as he breathed out. "You really are an idiot." He mutters just loud enough to be heard.
"Shut it! I don't wanna hear that from you!" The ginger grumbles, "By the way..Is the dormleader still mad?"
Deuce shakes his head. "Not really. He looked a little irritated at these three guys who missed morning roll call...The most that happened is they met the same fate at you." Ace gave him a questioning look as he furrowed his brows.
"That's your definition of not really?! He's angry, no matter the way you toss it!"
"Ah, Ace." You speak up, finishing your food. "Have you found a way to apologize?" You ask.
"I hate this so much. Why am I the one apologizing?" The ginger groaned.
"We've still got time before class, and I'm curious about other dorms." Grim says, "Let's go on a wander while we go watch Ace's apology." He suggests.
"This isn't some kind of show!" Ace yells.
You all have finished your breakfasts and found your ways in the Heartslabyul dorm. The heart shaped rose bushes everblooming, complimenting the red and white dorm with heart patterns.
'No wonder it's called Heartslabyul.. ' You think to yourself.
"Woah! This is gorgeous!" Grim exclaimed, turning to look at every sight in his view. "It's so much better than whatever ours is!"
"Crap. I've gotta hurry and get these roses painted." You hear a mutter from nearby, Grim's ears perk up as he does too.
"Hey, someone's here." He says, the card duo and you follow the beast to near where the maze is.
You see buckets filled with red paint, some spilled on the ground and one knocked over. Footprints were left behind and there are some white roses standing out from the red ones, paint on the roses still drying.
You see a certain diamond on the ladder, his eyes and mind focused on the roses and nothing else.
"Hello?" Your voice startles him. He turns to you, and see how his green eyes shined brightly under the sun and how his ginger hair is of a lighter shade of red than Ace.
"Hm? You guys need something?" He speaks.
"What are you doing with that?" Ace asks, pointing at the buckets of paint and the brush in the diamond's hands.
"This?" Cater raised his hand. "Can't you see I'm painting the roses red?" He replied dryly.
"But why?" Deuce looked perplexed.
"Ahh, it's been a while since I've got to see cute reactions like this. Actually, aren't you guys the students who destroyed that 10,000,000 chandelier yesterday?" The card duo and the beast sweat at the question.
"Ugh..We're never gonna stop hearing about this until graduation." Ace exhaled.
"And you're the one who added on even more punishment by stealing the dorm leader's tart that very same night!" The diamond pointed at him.
"I feel so lucky meeting you guys! Hey, hey~! let's take a selfie! Yaay!"
None of you have time to decline as he instantly whips out his phone (or maybe it was always in his hand?) and points it it himself and everyone else.
"Can I put this on magicame? Tell me your name so I can put you in the tags."
"I'm Deuce Spade.."
"Ace."
"Grim and my henchman!" You flick him away.
"It's Y/n." You correct the beast.
"Boop! And up it goes~" The green eyed diamond smiles,tapping on his phone. "Oh yeah, I'm Cater Diamon, I'm a third year." He finally introduces himself.
"You can call me Cater or Caycay, nice to meetcha~"
"This guy is really carefree." Grim mumbles, trying to bite your ankle as revenge for flicking him away like crumbled paper.
"It's nice to meet you too." You say, smiling.
"Ah, you're the student that became the prefect for Ramshackle dorm!" Cater points out. "You seem to be setting in pretty well. That place is so dark and unmagicammable!"
"Man, this guy really doesn't shut up does he?" Grim tries to speak. Keyword being tries, as he is current muffled by your hand to keep him from biting you and what ever noise comes out of him is barely understandable.
"What am I doing? I don't have time to chitchat!" Cater slaps his cheeks lightly, holding onto the brush with a firmer grip.
"Can you guys help me paint the roses before the party tomorrow?"
"But why are you doing something so weird anyways?" Ace tilts his head.
"Because red roses at a parth are the most photentic I guess?" Cater brought his hands to his lips, shrugging his shoulders after. "I've also gotta color in the flamingos for the croquet march, so mt hands are full right now."
"You have to color in flamingos?! Your chores are so weird." Grim says, staring in disbelief at the boy.
"So the tart Ace at was going to be for the dorm leader's birthday party..." Deuce mentions outloud. Cater raised his brows.
"Ummm...No? They're for our dorm's traditional 'unbirthday party.'" The ginger says. "The dorm leader chooses a random day that isn't anyone's birthday and we have a tea party."
"The heck kind of tradtion is that?!"
"Worry about that later! Just focuse on painting the roses red!" Cater looks to you and Ace. "Since neither of you can you magic right now, here's some paint."
Deuce widens his eyes in surprise as he stares at the ginger. "W-we can change color with magic?"
"I've never done something like that!" Grim exclaims.
"Don't worry! You're amazing upperclassman CayCay will help!" Cater does a peace sign as he strikes a cutesy pose that makes you die on the inside.
With your brush in hand, you begin painting. Making sure none of the white is shown.
It would be no good if Riddle beheads another person even before his overblot.

˗ˏˋ Ghostbusters era  ´ˎ˗
note: did I really  make an oc just to name this ghostbusters era? yes, yes I did. kinda long chapter because I wanted to get the prologue out the way. less dividers for now because of the limit.
Tumblr media
After your shocking realization that you can't fight, you let out a shrilling scream that could've shook the house.
"What are you screaming for..." The grey beast asked, irritated as he enters the room.
One look at the ghosts and Grim lets out a scream that matched yours. "GYYAA! G-g-ghooosts!"
The ghosts all float around and laugh at your screams, a chubby one, dubbed Ghost B for now, begins to speak.
"The people living here got scared of us and left" Ghost B says with a smile.
"We've been looking for more ghost pals," A bigger looking ghost dubbed Ghost C says, looking at you and Grim. "How about you guys?" His question sends shivers down your spine.
"There's no way I'm gonna turn into a ghost right after I just got here.." You mutter, brows furrowed. Flinching as the ghosts turn to you, finding amusement in how quick your bravery left you.
"Uuh..Uhhh! Grim the Great Magician isn't afraid of some ghosts! Funnyaaah!" The furry beast takes a deep breath in before breathing fire, targeting the ghosts.
Grim's efforts are futile as his eyes are shut closed, not aware of where he is aiming.
"Who're you targeting?"
"Over here, over here! Heheheee!"
The ghosts mocked and laughed. Grim grows irritated as they keep disappearing.
"Grim! don't close your eyes!" You shout, he turns to you with a glare.
"Shuddup! Don't try to order me around!" Grim yells. You frown at his words and cross your arms, giving him a disapproving look.
'Time to act like my mother..!' You think, "Grim! That's no way to speak to someone trying to help, don't you want to win the Headmaster's favor?!"
His blue eyes widen for a moment and he ponders, "Mgmm....I'm a genius! I can take care of em myself!" The ghosts clearly not convinced that he can.
"Bunch of cowards ganging up on us!" Grim scowls.
"It's now or never, Grim! do it for a tuna as well!" You offer, Grim's eyes light up at the thought of earing tuna.
"Grr... Oi human Tell me where the ghosts are!"
You're gonna need to work on his manners, but for now, you'll forgive him.
Tumblr media
Chasing away the ghosts was– surprisingly, very easy. All you had to do was stay calm, steady your breathing, and watch.
The novel doesn't give much unfortunately information about how the fight against ghosts went, only the overblots.
The game either has a turn based battle or a rhythm game, and in the latter, Yuu presumably tells Grim where to aim and shows where the ghosts appear in, so you used that tactic.
"LEFT!" You yell out to Grim as Ghost A appears, he immediately turns and blue flames emerge from his mouth.
The ghosts screech as they float away, "Hee, heeee! We're goners, run away!" they shout.
They phase through the walls and disappear, leaving you and a panting Grim.
"E-eh? We...won?" Grim questioned, his ears raised in confusion as he looks at the spot the ghosts disappeared at.
"That was amazing! You did great, Grim!" You praise, clapping your hands softly. Some compliments would do you good if you want Grim to listen to you.
"Hah..that was sc..No, I wasn't scared at all!" The beast quickly corrects himself. "This is nothing for the great Grim! How 'bout that, ghosts? you done?" His boasts distract you from the sound of a feathered man suddenly appearing.
"Good evening. I have graciously bought you supper." Crowley announces, you and Grim turn.
"You're the monster that ran amuck during the entrance ceremony!" Crowley states the obvious, blinking. "I threw you out of the school. What are you doing here!?"
'You didn't do anything though...' You think. The students were the ones that did the most work.
Grim huffs at the question, puffing his chest proudly. "I exterminated the ghosts here, be grateful!" Grim's explanation makes Crowley raise a brow. (If he even has any)
"Hmm? What do you mean by that?" The masked man asks.
"There were three ghosts here, Grim and I scared them off." You give a quick explanation.
"Now that you mention it, there were some prankster ghosts living here so students keep away from this dormitory." He recalls. "That's why it's empty."
"Hmm..I never expect the two of you to work together," Crowley muses.
"I'm not gonna overlook that "together" comment." Grim huffs, "They were just standing there while I did all the work." Annoyed, You grab him by the back of his neck, making him yelp.
"And who exactly stopped you from burning down the dorm and told you where the ghosts are, hmm?" You question.
"Gyaa! Put me down, human!"
You let go, dropping him. Grim barely managed to land on his feet. "I told you to not speak so rudely."
Crowley coughs, ignoring what just happened.
"I'd like to see the two of you to show me how you exterminated those ghosts." He says.
"But we've already gotten rid of all the ghosts! Before that; give me more tuna!" Grim yells, and you knew better than to kick him right then and there.
"I shall be the ghost, "Crowley offers. "If you beat me, I'll give you tuna cans. For I am gracious!"
You ignore the last part as he gulps down a transformation potion, why does he even have that?
Grim groans. "I don't wanna. This is a pain and I have to team up with them again.." He mutters.
"Let's just get over with it, do it for the tuna cans."
The flaming beast gives a low growl before speaking. "This is the last time! You absolutely, absolutely have to give me my tuna cans after this!" Grim demands.
Tumblr media
Grim pants after one last fire, smirking proudly. "How 'bout that?!"
Crowley stares, transformation potion already worn off, and blinks.
"I can't believe it...there is a person who can command mosnters." The masked man says, obviously referring to you.
"To be honest with you, my intuition as a educator has been telling me that you have a talent as trainer during the entrance ceremony." Crowley confesses what sounds like a lie to you.
"But..no matter how.." The last parts of his words are too quiet to hear.
"Could you let Grim stay here with me?" You suggest.
"What now? A monster? Here?" Crowley asks, surprised.
"Yes, I'm scared the ghosts might come back, and it would be a good look for the school you let a monster join here, no?" You say, "You'd be like a saint to others for giving the beast another chance despite his..flashy entrance."
Crowley falls for the bait, and smiles. "What an excellent idea! Ahem, it can't be helped. Very well then." He agrees.
"Hnn?!" Really?!" Grim asks in surprise and joy.
"However. I can't simply allow someone, let alone a monster, who wasn't chosen by the dark mirror into this school." Crowley explains before continuing. "Also, I can't let you be a freeloader here until you return to your own world."
"Well, talk about a short-lived joy.." Grim sighs.
"Let me finish. Concerning the fact that your soul was called here, the school has to take responsibility as the ones in possession of the dark mirror." Crowley takes a breath. "For the time being, you shall be permitted to stay in this dormitory for free. But you will have to provide for other necessities yourself."
Crowley thinks for a moment. "Seeing as you have nothing to your name.. Fufu, here is my proposition."
His laugh gives you the familiar odd vibe you had when you first read the novel, "I'll have you do maintenance ans odd jobs." He began.
"From what I can see, you're pretty decent at cleaning. Would you two like to become the handymen of the school?" Grim frowned and looked at him, clearly displeased.
"This way, you will receive special permission to remain on school grounds. I shall also permit usage of the library for you to gather information on how to return to your world and for learning purposes." The Headmaster tells you, smiling. "For I am gracious. However! Only after your work is done." He added.
Grim groans. "I'm not doing that! I wanna wear that fancy uniform and be a student!" He demands.
You give him a look of disapproval, "Would you rather be kicked out?" he flinches.
"Fine.." The beast grumbles.
The headmaster smiles, "Wonderful. Then, you two, devote yourselves to working as janitors at Night Raven College starting tomorrow!" Crowley says, and turns to his heels and leaves.
You stare at the retreating back of the crow, then turn your gaze to the tired beast.
"Don't think I'm going to allow you to cause trouble and not work, Grim." You remind him.
You walk up the stairs, looking for the room that Yuu slept in, leaving an irritated and slightly afraid beast behind.
Tumblr media
Despite the rude awakening from the man with the feathered cape and ghosts, you feel energetic as the sight of the statues in main street become clearer.
"Uwaaah~" Grim looks around, eyes sparkling. "Amazing. So this is the main street..I didn't have a good look yesterday, but what's with all these statues?"
He gets closer to the statue of the Queen of Hearts. "All seven of them look pretty scary. Especially this granny."
"You don't know the queen of hearts?" An unknown voice says, you don't bother looking.
"Queen of Hearts? Is she important?" Grim questions.
"In the past, she was the queen who lived in the Rose Maze." The voice began. "She was someone who valued rules and discipline above all, strict in all things from the march of the Card soldiers to the color of bushes."
You don't bother listening to the explanation, already memorized the dialogues from the countless times you replayed or reread.
Instead, you began sweeping the fallen dead leaves with the rake, piling them together.
"By the way, who're you?" Grim asks, and you perk your head up.
"Ehehehe.."
That laugh sounds weird, and shouldn't Grim ask that by the end of the Queen of Hearts explanation? not the end of every..
"GAHHH! A GHOST!" You snap your head back at his scream. Lo and behold, a ghost in place of Ace's role has been telling the explanation.
Just then, an obnoxious laugh was heard from behind the ghost.
Ace.
"BWAHAHAHAA! The look on your faces..do you seriously not know the Main Street ghost?" The ginger mocks.
"Main Street...ghost?" You mutter, this wasn't mentioned anywhere in the novel or game, especially not in the prologue!
"Pfft..Ahahaah! I can't hold it anymore! Ahahaha!" Ace laughs, clutching his stomach. "Aren't you the guys who went crazy at the entrance ceremony?" He asks in between laughs, already knowing the answer.
"You were called by the Dark Mirror even though you can't use magic." Ace says, referring to you. "And you, a monster, weren't called but still trespassed!" He laughs again.
"Man, it took everything I had not to lose it at the ceremony." You don't have anything to lose you bi-
"WHAA?! You're a rude one!" Grim yells, ready to burn the mannerless ginger.
"So in the end you weren't enrolled and now work as janitors? Haha, pathetic." Ace chuckles.
"At least they aren't a disgusting dumb fucking ginger like you." You jump at the voice of the ghost, you had forgotten they were here.
"Eh- What the fuck?!" Ace gasps, looking at the transparent figure in surprise.
"Even a filthy bug infested beast like Grim has a better talent for magic than you."
"DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO INSULT  ME TOO?!" Grim shouts, enraged.
"I thought I'd just mess with you two a bit since the raccoon looked dumb, but here comes an even dumber ginger with no manners trying to look better than you." The ghost continues.
"WHY DO YOU KEEP MENTIONING MY HAIR-"
What the fuck is going? Who is this ghost? Is the statue still gonna burn? Just as you think that, Grim takes a deep breath in while Ace readies his pen, wind meets fire and targets the disappearing ghosts, and hits the statue of the Queen of Hearts.
"Oh...Oh no..." The four of you say in unison.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!"
Tumblr media
Just like how the story went, you, Grim, and Ace were punished. The ghost however, disappeared.
You wonder as you clean the windows, just who exactly is the Main Street ghost? this was the first time you've heard of them, how come they took Ace's place in the first meeting?
"That Ace guy is sure taking his sweet time. Who does he think he is? Making me wait! I'm pissed!" Grim groans,stretching his little paws.
Minutes pass as you two waited and waited, 10, 18, 20, 23, 26 windows have been cleaned.
And the ginger still isn't here.
"Ughh! That's it! I'm going to find that guy!" Grim yelled, you look at the small beast as he runs out the door. Putting down the rag, you follow him quickly.
Barging into an empty classroom, Grim yells. "Orraaa! Where's Ace?! you'll pay for hiding!" He looks around, and falls quiet when he realizes no one is here. "Eh, nobody is here..?"
"No, I'm here."
You both jump at the sound of a new voice, the portrait.
"GYAAA! The portrait talked?!" Grim shouts, jumping onto you in fear.
The portrait scoffs at your reactions. "What now? talking portraits are not a rare sight in this school, no?" He began. "Everybody here can speak, including the Lady on the over there, and the Gentleman on the wall over here."
You cough, gathering the attention of the paintings. "I'm sorry for our rude reactions. I am Y/n and this is Grim." You greet, introducing yourselves.
"We're looking for Ace Trappola, he has strange hair and a heart mark on his face." The portrait hums, thinking for a bit.
"Ah yes, I know him." He speaks. "He's one of the  long ago..."
"Waaahaaaat?!" Grim shouts. "So he really did try to go! Which way did he go?" He asks.
"The entryways leading to the dormitories are in the inner part of the East Wing." The portrait answers.
"Hey!" Grim catches your attention. "We're going after him!" He leaves no room for an answer before leaving.
"Thank you for the help!" You smile at the portraits. You run after Grim.
You enter the Hall of Mirrors, and there you see a certain ginger walking by with his hands behind his hand.
"HEEEEY!! YOUUUU!!" Grim shouts, surprising Ace.
"Ack! They found me!" The ginger quickly picks up the pace, running as Grim chases him and you follow closely behind.
"Outta my way! Outta my way!" Ace yells as he pushes a familiar blue haired boy.
"Eh..oo-ooh?!"
'Deuce!' You smile, "Please catch him! he's trying to skip out on punishments!" You yell, grabbing his attention.
"Magic to capture somebody?!" He blinks, and begins to think. !I should freeze their legs, no. How about restrain them? Or I could... Uummm..."
"Anything is fine! I don't care how just hit him hard!" The beast yells, pulling Deuce out of his thoughts.
"Anything?! ...Eeeiii!! Anything is fine, come forth..something heavy!" Deuce yells. At his command, a large cauldron appears... And falls on Ace.
"GUEEEH!! What the..a cauldron?!!" Ace looks at the heavy pot confusingly, unable to move or get it off him.
You almost laugh at the sight, you bit your tongue and hold back. 'He might be hurt, no time for laughs!"
Grim on the other hand, has let his laughter fill the room. "Gyahahaha! Look at him! as flat as a pancake!" The beast mocks.
"I didn't think I'd get a cauldron..did I overdo it?" The Two of Spades looks in concern as he mutters to himself.
You catch up to the others and cast one glance at Ace before turning to Deuce. "Thanks so much! That was so cool!" You smile.
The blue haired blushes, the tips of his ears turn red. "Ahh..i-it's no problem..?"
"Man this hurts.." Ace groans, "Couldn't you have left me alone and wiped those 100 windows in a flash for me?" You sigh.
"That's not something you can do in a flash." You speak, "Besides, it's your fault as well!"
Deuce glances between the two of you. "Wiping 100 windows as a punishment..what on earth did you do?" He asks.
"That damn Mainstreet Ghost picked a fight with me, just when I was about to blow him away, the furball tried to burn him." Ace sighed, "And...it hit the Statue of the Queen of Hearts instead."
Deuce's eyes widened, his jaw hung low. "THE STATUE OF THE QUEEN OF HEARTS??" He yelled..
The blue haired sweated. He ran a hand through his hair. "You damaged one of the Great Seven statues.. You get into a prestigious school then do something like this.." Deuce murmured.
Ace clicked his tongue and shot a glare. "Shuddup. And who are you anyways?" He questioned.
"I'm Deuce Spade. Would it hurt to remember your classmates' faces at least...umm..." He trailed off as he tries to remember his name.
"You don't remember me either." Ace said, exasperated.
Deuce blushes, "M-My point is!" He began, bashfully. "If the Headmaster tells you to do something then you better take it seriously."
"Yeah, yeah. I hear you." The ginger sighs, finally getting up. "Then, let's get it done and over with...Hmm?" He looks around at the spot Grim just stood on.
"Grim's gone." You point out, rather calmly.
"AHH! THAT FURBALL!" Ace shouted, furious. He turns to Deuce. "H-hey.. um, Juice?" He says, more of a question really.
"It's Deuce! Deu!" The Two of Spades says, pointing at the ginger.
"Whatever!" Ace yells, "You're partially responsible so help us catch that furball!" He demands.
Deuce raises a brow, "Why me?" He asks.
"This deadweight can't use magic so they can't help! now come on!" You feel a vein pop at the name he called you, but the boy ran off before you can tell him off.
You groan, "Sorry about this Deuce..But I'd really appreciate your help!" You say, clasping your hands together with a hopefull look.
"I..Don't worry about it!" Deuce blushes, "I can't just let troublemakers escape punishment like that!" He says, then rushes to catch up with Ace. You follow shortly behind.
Tumblr media
You stare at the fallen chandelier, exasperated and worn out from the sudden marathon.
Next to you stood a bashful and worried Deuce. Near the chandelier stood Ace, frightened, and a passed out Grim not too far for him.
And now you were threatened with expulsion.
"Please! Anything but that!" Deuce begs, casting a pitiful look.
"You have nothing to blame for but your own idiocy.." Crowley says.
You drown out the rest of the conversation, mindlessly staring at the broken chandelier.
'I have..' You gulp, digging your nails into your palm. 'I have to fight a phantom..don't I?' You finish your thought.
"There's one way." You turn to the Headmaster, finally listening in. "There might be one way to fix the chandelier." He states.
The Knave of Hearts and the Two of Spades look at the Headmaster with eagerness, their eyes twinkling with hope.
"The magic crystal for this chandelier was mined in the Dwarf's Mine." Crowley begins to explain. "If we have a magic crystal of the same kind as the original, then repair might be possible."
"I will go find a magic crystal!" Deuce announced. "Please, allow me to go!"
"However, I have no guarantee there are any left in the mine." The crow mentions. "The mine has been closed for a while and it's very possible it is exhausted of crystals." He adds.
"I'll do anything to get our expulsion rescinded!" You can't help but smile at the blue haired as he includes you and the others.
"I..I'll also do it!" You suddenly say, surprising the others. Though you shortly regret it afterwards.
"..Very well. I shall give you one night." Crowley says. "Come to me with a magic crystal by tomorrow morning or face expulsion." he states.
"Yes! Thank you very much!" Deuce says with a smile.
Ace silently sighs, "Oh boy, fine. Let's go get the magic crystal and be done with it." You nod and walk towards the unconscious beast, picking him up with ease.
'He's surprisingly light..' Grim's eyes shutter open, his dazed look makes you almost giggle.
"Huh..? What happened..?" The beast asks in a slurred speech.
"Hush now and go back to sleep, kitty."
Tumblr media
After a few moments of dizziness and nausea, you take a look around you.
You notice you're in a dark forest with small river that has a bridge, you're entirely surrounded by tall moss covered trees.
Across you can see a rundown cottage with cobwebs, the paint beginning to peel off and the roof about to cave in.
"So this is the Dwarf's Mine.." Deuce speaks, observing the state of the place. "It used to be prosperous, thanks to magic crystal mining but.." He trails off.
"Uuuhhh..Feels like something could jump out." Grim commented. He shivers slightly as his fur moves with the direction of the cold wind.
"Oh, there's a house back there." Ace acknowledged, "Let's go ask them about the mine." He suggests becofe making his way on the creaky bridge.
As you enter the cottage, particals of dust make you all cough and tear up. The inside is worse of the cottage is definitely worse. cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and walls, a soot covered fireplace that has not been maintained in years, rusty fallen chairs and a dirty table with a dusty rug on top.
"Aren't the tables and chairs on the small side?" Ace mentions. "Are they for kids?" He wonders before beginning to count.
"Seven?! So many..!" The ginger exclaims.
"This was probably a lively home when Dwarf's mine was thriving." Deuce suggests.
You all decide staying here is pointless, and walk to the entrance of the Dwarf's Mine.
The cave is barely visible in the dark night, you can hear the wind echoing from inside into alluring hums, vines and moss covered the rocks and trees from the outside.
"W-we're going in there?!" Grim stutters, shaking as his blue eyes peer into the dark place.
"Ya scared? How lame." The ginger smirked, making the beast's flaming ears grow bigger as he glares.
"Naaanh?! I'm not scared at all!" Grim growls, taking a deep breath in before beginning to walk. "I'm taking the lead! You guys, follow me!" He exclaims.
You walk into the cave, and you look at all the gems sparkling as they illuminate the path. 'How pretty.' You think.
Deuce halts, eyes widened as he eyes the front of the path. "Wait!" He yells.
You and the others stop, turning to him. "What." Ace raises a brow.
"Something..is there!" The blue haired says, pointing into the darkness.
Pale ghastly figures lurking in the shadows slowly reveal themselves. Ghosts with cloaks and an eerie smile on their faces.
"Eeek?!" Grim shrieks, clawing into your clothes as he climbs up your shoulder.
"Heee heee heee..!" One giggles, their voice echoes through the dark cave. "Our first visitors since 10 years!"
"Make yourselves at home!" The other chuckles. "For an eternity!"
"GHOSTSSS!!!" The cards and the beast shout, ready to escape.
You hum for a moment, pondering their offer. "I'm sorry, hut we didn't come here to stay." You say.
The ghosts perk their head up at you, unsure of what to think about your calmness. They giggle and raise their hands up. "But we'll be sooo lonely if you leave~" They say, ready to chase.
You pull Grim off your shoulder, "They can't do much if you're not scared, so stay calm and be ready to burn them." You whisper to him.
"Stop spacing out and run!" Ace yells, grabbing the back of the collar of your shirt.
"Heee heee heee!" The ghosts laugh, floating to you. "Don't leeavve usss! Heee heee heee!"
Tumblr media
You all outrun the ghosts, panting as you come to a stop. Thankfully you've managed to ward off the ghosts with the help of your directions.
'I should join ghostbusters with the amount of times I've fought ghosts..' You huff, resting your hands on your knees.
"We'd better hurry!" Deuce says, wiping the sweat off his head.
"Don't think you can just order me around." Ace snaps, shooting a glare. "We wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if you hadn't done something so idiotic!"
"You wanna talk about who started it? It's 'cause you wouldn't clean!"
"Oh, we're pointing fingers now? That furball over there burned the Queen of Hearts' statue first!"
"Ffgna! That's on you and that damn ghost!"
You zone out on the banter as you look ahead, paralyzed as you hear quiet yet heavy steps and approaching you.
"Guys..Did you hear that?" You question, the others turn to you and stay silent.
"...on't...ive.....wo...." Something in the dark groans, alarming the others. It's steps grow louder as it gets closer, making the ground shake slightly.
"Wh-what's...this voice?" Ace asks, yet no one could give an answer.
No one but you.
Yet how can you give an answer when you so desperately pray that it isn't what you think it is?
'How am I gonna get out of this one..' You look down, your hands go cold and numb as the steps stop.
"...crystal....is....M..INEEEE!"
With all the might you have, you force yourself to raise your head, and your eyes meet a digusting sight.
A glass bottle as a head, cracked with ink oozing out of it like blood, it stains the maroon colored button shirt. It holds a large pickaxe that drags and scrapes along the ground and a lit latern on the other hand. It has no legs nor face, yet it moves with its pudgy ink that leaves a trail behind and speaks as if it has a mouth.
A truly monstrous sight that you've never wished to see.
'God this is so much scarier that in the ga- holy fuck it STINKS.' You resist the urge to gag as you take note of it's odor, like rotting acidic meat and old ink with fleas.
"OII Y/N! HURRY AND RUN!" Ace shouts, dragging you out of your thoughts.
You run with the others and seek shelter behind a wall of rocks, leaning against it as you catch your breath.
"W-what the hell was that..." Deuce breathes out. Ace plops down on the ground and calms his shaking body.
"It's so nasty! But didn't it mention a 'crystal'?!" Ace recalls.
"Eeeeh?!" Grim looks at Ace in shock. "A crystal..?" He murmurs.
"So there really are magic crystals left!" Deuce exclaims, getting up from the ground.
Grim shakes his head furiously, "N-n-n-nope! Nope! I'm a genius but I don't stand a chance against that thing!" He yells.
"But we'll be expelled without it..I'm going!" Deuce declares. Ace and you look at him dumbfounded.
"It's too dangerous by yourself.." You say quietly. Deuce stays silent for a moment, looking down at his feet. His nails digging into the palm of his hand.
He raises his head, his eyes filled with determination and courage. "I cannot.." Deuce begins. "I cannot, under any circumstances, be expelled!"
Your eyes widen at his declaration, a feeling of warmth envelopes itself in your chest as hope lights your dim path.
'I can't just stay back and watch them get hurt..' You bite your lips, 'No matter how afraid I am..'
You grip onto your sleeves tightly, furrowing your brows.
No matter what, you'll use your knowledge to protect them!
Tumblr media
How stupid you were, to think you would be able to fight against that thing.
Yet here you all are, panting and shivering as you lean against trees, straying far from the cave.
"Oooooww... What in the world is that?" Ace groans, rubbing the back of his head.
"It doesn't seem like any old ghost." Deuce says, sighing.
"Let's give up and go home. I'd rather get expelled than fight that thing." Ace suggests, frowning.
Deuce widens his eyes, looking at Ace with anger. "Wha?" Don't screw with me!" "There was a magic crystal in front of us. You think I could just give up and leave?!" He yells.
"Ha. You talk big for someone worse at magic than me." The ginger spat, "Go alone if you want. I'm done." Ace gets up, huffing.
"Oooh, that right? Then stay right there like a spineless coward!" Deuce shouts, glaring.
"Huuuh?!" Ace snaps, "Coward?! Who exactly are you talking about?!"
as the two banter again, you walk up to the entrance, stopping just a few feet away.
'I couldn't do anything..' You sigh, lightly slapping your face. "What good am I for if I can't even use my knowledge to survive." You mutter.
"Y/n, what are you doing?" Grim asks, the other two turn their heads to you, brows raised.
You panic slightly, but soften your gaze as an idea pops up in your head.
"I'm going in there." You say. The others stare at you in shock, their mouths agape.
"Are you stupid?! A magicless human like you?! in there?!" Grim yells, wondering if you've lost your marbles.
You smirk, eyes lighting up with mischief. "Of course! Imagine how embarrassing it must be for a so called "great magician" and two students of Night Raven College to be too afraid to fight a monster." You pause.
"Yet a poor magicless human has a guts to go in there and avoid expulsion~" You finish.
"Why you..! Suddenly speaking like that..!" Ace grumbles, glaring at you.
"So you plan on taking the spotlight for yourself?" Grim says, scowling. "I can't let a stupid henchman of mine do that! I'm going in!" He decides.
The Knave of Hearts and the Two of Spades snap their head to the beast, "Eh?!"
You click your tongue a bit. "Well..I guess it'd be cool if a human commanded a wild beast to fight for them." You murmur, just loud enough for the others to hear.
"Then, I guess it's just scaredy cats like you two who'd get expelled." You grin, eyeing the Heartslabyul students.
"Why you..! I'll show you who's a scaredy cat!" Ace clenches his fists. "I'm going with you!"
"So am I!" Deuce speaks up.
You smile, and take a deep breath in.
"Then, listen to my plan."
Tumblr media
You walk around the cave, gems in your hands that shined brightly enough to be mistaken for a magic crystal
A hesitant and awkward smile appears on your face as you take a deep breath in. "Oh~ What lovely magic crystals I have!" You cheer.
As your voice echoes, heavy footsteps are suddenly heard. You turn right and left, looking for wherever that thing could appear from.
"I'm so glad I have all these magic crystals..." You trail off as you see a light shine and hear a pickaxe scraping along the ground. The large inky phantom appears, presumably staring right at you. "To..mys-myself...?"
"Crystals....MINEEEE!"
You take that as your cue and dash right off, bringing it as far as you can outside the cave.
It's pickaxe very narrowly misses you as it swings for your head, you slide right under and with one last sprint your far enough from the cave.
Ace and Grim see you and the monster chasing behind, they ready their magic, and as you dash to the side, a whirl of wind appears on Ace's command. "Extra Large Tempest!"
"And the Great Grim's Fire Special!"
The beast breathes out fire that meets with the wind, transforming into a tornado of fire that makes it's way to the phantom.
"Guaaaahh!!?" It screams in confusion at the sudden attack, unable to move as it is caught.
"Now's our chance!" You yell to Deuce, he readies his magic, concentrated as he aims.
"Come forth, cauldron!" He yells, and a cauldran pops out from the sky and falls onto the phantom, trapping it.
"Nice work, everyone!" Grim praises, "The monster looks as flat as a pancake like Ace earlier!" He adds, making Ace groan.
"You don't need to bring that up again!"
"Let's go get the magic crystal while that thing can't move!"
You all run past the phantom, as you do, you hear a quiet plea from the distance. 'Sorry buddy..!' You look behind shoulder in pity.
"There! A magic crystal!" Deuce exclaims, the gem in his hands sparkling.
"Great! Let's go-"
"Hands ...offfff!!!" The phantom yells, it's struggling beginning to cesse as it calms and is about to be freed.
"Oi Deuce! Throw more stuff on it!" Grim commands, turning to Deuce.
"Eeeh, something heavy?!" Deuce panicked, then proceeds to summon more cauldrons. "C-come forth! Cauldron! And ummm, cauldron?"
"Nnnngggguaahh!" The screams coming from the monster grow louder and louder as the cauldrons completely trap him.
"Are cauldrons the only thing in your repertoire?!" Ace yells, brows furrowed.
"Shut up! I'm at my wits end over here!" Deuce retorts.
"Let's leave now!" You interrupt the bantering boys, in your hands another magic crystal you thankfully found.
"Roger that!" Says the ginger, you all run off again, and you hear one last scream.
"That...is...MINEEEEE!"
You all run back to the woods, the monster soon chasing after you as it brushed all the cauldrons off it's back.
"You're kidding me?! it brushed off all that stuff and came after us!" Ace yells, looking from behind as he run.
The phantom screams, demanding that you give the crystals back.
"Shoot, it's gonna catch up to us!" Deuce says, almost tripping over a rock.
"But it's weaker!" You mention. "We might be able to finish it off!"
"Ahh fine.." Ace groans, turning to Deuce. "Don't let me down, Mr. Serious!"
"You too!"
"I'll show off my true power!" Grim smirks.
You all come to a halt, magic pen in the card soldiers hands and the beast's nails gripping onto the ground as they turn to face the phantom.
"Let's get this over with!" 
Tumblr media
"Hah...hah..."
Everyone pants and groans, hands on their knees as their bodies shake and start to feel numb from the tiredness.
"We...wo..won..?" Grim says, before smiling. "We actually won!" He cheers.
"Hooray!"
"We did it!"
The cards join in as they look at the spot the phantom was in, now disintegrating into nothing..
"Victory high five~!" Grim yells, join the other boys and jumping as high as he can to high five them with his paws.
"YAAAAY!!" They cheer.
You can't help but smile at the scene, your droopy eyes forced to focus at the heartwarming sight as the boys cheer for their victory.
"I'm glad you're getting along now.." You say, the Knave of Hearts, Two of Spades, and beast look at you, embarrassed and flushed.
"I-it's nothing like that!"
"Y-yeah! Could you stop saying weird things?"
"We won because of me! not because of working together!"
You giggle at their at their excuses and lean against a tree. Ace sighs, rubbing the back of his neck.
"I guess making excuses like that is pretty lame.." He mutters. "I hate to say it, but it's thanks to your plan." His words take you by surprise, your eyes soften, your smile growing bigger.
"...True. We got the magic crystal because of your level headed plan." Deuce adds, a small smile plastered on his face. "We can prevent our expulsion this way....I'm so relieved."
"It's because everyone worked together." You say, bringing your knees to your chest. "I'm glad everyone is alright.."
"Yeah, yeah." Ace yawns. "We're all relieved and seriosuly tired. Let's go back." He says.
"I'm starving from using so much magic.." Grim says, his stomach rumbling. "Hmm? what's this?"
'Oh no, oh no no no...'
"Looks like a remnant of the monster..A black magic crystal..?"
'God, please no..'
"Sniff, sniff...This thing smells so good..!"
"Grim, don-"
Just as you get up from the ground, the beast plops the stone in his mouth, and a look of delight is plastered on his face.
'Fuck no..!'

↳ ❝ [WELCOME TO THE VILLAINS WORLD] ¡! ❞
˗ˏˋ How'd I get here? ´ˎ˗
Tumblr media
Walking through the busy streets, you stop at a red light in the sidewalk. Scrolling through the webnovel on your phone while waiting for the lights to turn green.
You had just finished playing the latest episode on the game version of your favorite novel, [Twisted Wonderland.]
Originally a webnovel, adapted into a physical copy and game, it is a story where a teen named Yuuya ends up into a twisted version of wonderland, where he befriends a beast and characters that are based off of disney villains and attend a magical school called Night Raven College.
With the new friends he has made, they fight against troubled students who have overblotted, which is basically the magic version of a mental breakdown.
The latest episode of the game drove you to tears, Idia's voice actor did such a good job, but damn, it took you hours to defeat his overblot form and Ortho! But the ending made you so excited to finally finish the novel and see what happens next.
You sighed, reaching the last piece of paragraph just as the light turns green. You begin walking, excited to finish the chapter and read the next.
Out the corner of your eye, you see a short text in bold, one that made you stop you in your tracks and widen your eyes.
"Author's note: Will be on hiatus until furthur notice!"
"What."
What indeed, there's no way you cried a whole night catching up with the novel just for it to suddenly to be on hiatus?!
The author doesn't even explain why?! You groan, 'Alright, calm down! there must be a good explanation!' Of course, they must.
maybe they're burnt out from helping with the physical copies and the games, afterall, they're the artist as well! Maybe they're health isn't doing well, or there is some personal problems they'd rather not share.
In your thoughts you fail to notice the angered drivers beeping, waiting for you to finally move, as well as the sudden shouts and cries as the pedestrians and drivers turn to see a truck driving so reckelssly.
"God damn it! work you little shit!" The driver yells, steering the wheel and hitting the breaks, yet to no avail.
As you're about to move, you snap your head to the sounds of loud beepings, just to be met with a truck inches away from your face.
"Eh?"

You awake to the sound of loud shuffling and a headache, your whole body is sore. "Is it morning already..?" You whisper.
You try to stretch yet your arms stay bent, you blink, realizing you're confined in a small space.
The panic settles it, your breath quickens as you look around the dark space. 'What..did I get kidnapped..?' You think.
You squeeze your eyes shut, trying to remember what you saw or did last. You recall walking through the busy streets, reading chapter 6 of twisted wonderland that has recently been published.
And the truck.
The truck that was so close to you, you could smell the mud and oil it has been through, feel the heat emitting from it, blinded by it's headlights, and the touch of the rough metallic texture as it meets your skin.
You could still feel the aftermath of the quick collision between you and the truck.
You're whole body was now screaming in agony as you recall that awful memory, were you..dead?
'No way..how am I thinking and moving if I'm dead?' You shake off that thought, did you survive? maybe everyone thought you died and decided to bury you already.
You are snapped out of your thoughts as the shuffling grows louder, you listen in, able to hear a voice.
"Crap, people are coming.. gotta get a uniform while..grrr!" You are startled as you hear the raspy voice belonging to someone, who was that? were you actually kidnapped? and why did he growl?!
"Tch, this lid is too heavy.. time for my secret move!" You hear the mysterious voice take a deep breath, suddenly, blue fire surrounds your view and melts the lock of the enclosure you were trapped in.
Tripping out of the place ('Is that..a floating coffin?' You question yourself) you widen your eyes in surprise as you look around the place and fire. "B-blue fire?!"
"Ok,ok. gotta get.." You turn to the source of the voice, he looks up at you as well, shocked. "WHAA- WHY ARE YOU AWAKE!?"
You can't believe what you're seeing, a blue eyed talking tanuki looking cat with fiery blue flames in his hears, paired with his grey fur and white fluff around his neck and the raspy annoying voice of his..this can't be..!
'Grim?!' On the ground, you sit there motionless with your jaw hanging low, how the fuck-
"What are you looking at like that!" He snaps you out of your thoughts, this wasn't in the game or novel..well, maybe because of you?
'Holy shit does this mean I'm Yuu now?!' You feel giddy and excited, smiling. Were you finally going to be the heroic main character you've always dreamed of being?
"what's with the smile? Well, whatever. Hey, human! Gimme those clothes already! otherwise.." Grim's eyes sharpen as he smirks, his claws out. "I'll burn ya!"
You shiver, and immediately get up from the floor, booking it quickly. 'There's no time for questions, y/n, survival first!' You think.
You run through the large halls, not wasting time to take in every detail (unfortunately for you). Grim chases behind closely.
You end up lost in a dead end, a place full of books. 'In the story, Yuu gets lost in the library while running from Grim, is this it?'
You don't have time to answer your own questions as Grim runs in, laughing. "Did you really you'd get away from me, dumb human?!" He yells, it wasn't really a question.
"Hand over those clothes before I-" He doesn't get to finish his words before he is suddenly tied by a rope. "BWAAH! What's with this rope?!"
Grim struggles to move out the ropes and tried to bite into it, before turning to the culprit that caused this. You can't contain your excitement. 'The sussy deadbeat dad is here!'
"It is no mere rope, it is the lash of love!" A masked man in a suit announces. "Ah! found you at last, you're the new student, no?" He says, looking at you.
"This won't do, you mustn't leave the gates or take untamed familiars with you!" The man lightly scolds, Grim doesn't seem all too happy to be called a familiar.
"Let me go! who you callin' familiar?!" he yells, wiggling around in the rope. Crowley just shakes his head, ignoring him.
"That's what all rebellious beasts say.." He sighs, grabbing him and shutting his mouth. "It's quite rare for a student to open the gate on their own.. Uuugh, how impatient must you be?" He turns to you, you just look at him with a smile, he seems a little taken back by that.
"Hurry on now! the ceremony has already started." Crowley says and begins to make his way to the hall of mirrors, you follow closely behind, shaking of excitement slightly.
'O.M.G! Headmaster Crowley is right in front if me?! how is this possible..!' It seems all the excitement by being isekaied into your favorite game and novel has made you forget about your hatred for Crowley.
The whole time you were walking to the hall of mirrors, Grim was staring at you, wondering why you had such a strange look on your face.

The walk to the hall of mirrors was longer than it was in the novel or game, possibly because there are no skips in this world. Not to mention– the halls seem longer and the school in general is a lot bigger than on screen or how it was described in the novel.
You take in every little detail, looking around the place in excitement. You never would have guessed you would end up in the story you loved the most.
The three of you (Grim included) finally reach the hall of mirrors, you here a muffled voice, yet clear enough to understand.
"Did he get a stomachace?" At that, Crowley barges in through the doors.
"No, I have not!" His voice echoes through the dark halls, catching the attention of the students and even startling some.
The background students, surprisingly, all look very different, despite the game not caring much and reusing the same models for them.
The ones you recognize the most, however, are the ones that get your heartbeat going and your smile grow wider, the main characters of the book and game!
"Ah, he's here." A red haired boy acknowledges. Crowley steps forward with you in tow, Grim still being carried around like a bag.
"I cannot believe you all, we were missing a student so I went to fetch them." He explains before turning to you, "You're the only one without an assigned dormitory, I shall watch over your familiar, so step up to the dark mirror." Crowley instructs.
You walk up to the mirror, it seems a lot more scarier and realistic than you remember.
"State thy name." It says, the voice booming loud. You think for a moment, wondering if you should tell your name or no, but decided to tell your real name anyway.
"Y/n." You simply say, leaving out your last name.
"The shape of thy soul is..unknown."
"Come again?" Crowley asks, tilting his head slightly.
"I sense not a spark of magic in this one." Says the mirror before continuing. "The color, the shape, all nothing, therefore, there are no dorms suited for them.
It was silent for what seemed like an eternity, then came the waves of whispers amongst the students, confusion apparent on their faces and voices.
You definitely don't remember the mirror's words hurting this much, nor the feeling of anxiety and fear rushing through you as you notice all eyes are on you.
"The ebony carriage has never picked up a magicless student." Crowley finally speaks, "Since a hundred years, there was never a problem in the student selection..so why now?!" His words do nothing to soothe your anxious state.
At that, Grim breaks free from the headmaster's hold, ripping the rope apart and smirking mischievously. "Then I'll take their place!" he says.
"Stay right there raccoon!" yells the headmaster, yet his words does not effect the wild beast, whose flames seem to grow bigger at every second.
"Unlike that magicless human– I can actually do magic! Let me in the school now! I'll prove it to ya!" Grim says confidently, taking a deep breath in.
Riddle, alarmed, immediately yells to the other students. "Get down, quick!"
"Nnnah!!!" Grim exhales, fire comes out of his mouth, catching the venue on fire. You quickly move out of the way, grabbing a careless student along with you.
"Phew, that was close.. Thanks!" The student says, his voices catches you off guard.
'Is that-' You don't have much time to think as Grim continues to burn down the school.
The headmaster yells out for someone to catch that beast, while two students have a light banter, another set of students go out to catch the running Grim.
'Oh gee, this is gonna take a while.' You sigh.

"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" Yells the red head, with his words came a heart shaped collar around the silly beast.
"NYGAAH! What's with this collar!?" Said beast yells, his blue eyes widening as he looks down at the collar.
"Laws of the Queen of Hearts: Number 23 "One shall never bring a cat to a festival." You being a cat breaks the rules, I shall escort you out at once." Riddle says.
"I'm not a cat! I'll burn this collar and.." Grim's confusion grows as he realizes he is unable to use his magic. "Huh?! Why can't I use my magic?!"
Riddle huffs, "You won't be using any magic until I remove the collar, you'll be just like an ordinary house cat." He mocked.
"What?! I'm not some pet!" The beast yells, his scowl growing wider.
Riddle smirks as he picks up Grim. "Don't worry, I'd never keep a cat like you." He sneers, "I'll take it off once you're thrown out." His words don't reassure the beast.
Azul begins to speak up. "Wow, as wonderful as ever. Any and all magic get's sealed by your unique magic, Riddle." He gives an unneeded explanation towards no one in particular.
"I must simply have..Ahem! I mean, I wouldn't have that cast on me." He finishes.
Back to you, the Headmaster walks up to you. "You must do something about this! this is your familiar afterall! you must discipli-"
You quickly cut him off. "He's not mine." You say, furrowing your brows slightly.
"Eh? It's not yours?" Crowley asks, takened back.
"Nope, never seen him." You simply say, lying through your teeth. 'Technically not in person..'
"You haven't?" He coughs. "Anyway, let's get it out the school at any rate. I won't turn you into stew, for I am gracious! Someone, help please." You don't wanna know what he meant by turning Grim into stew.
"Gyaaa! Let me go! I'm going.. I'm going to become the best mage!" His cries do not phase the students and headmaster as he gets thrown out, though it does shake your heart slightly.
'Oh well, he'll come back anyway.' You think, cheering yourself up.
Soon, at the headmaster's command, all the students follow their respective dormleaders to their dorm.
"Then, Y/n." Crowley turns to you, "I'm terribly sorry about this but, we must have you leave the school." He says.
"Those without any magic cannot be allowed to attend here." He explains, "Not to worry– the dark mirror will send you to where you've come from." He reassures.
"Just enter the gate and imagine your home clearly." He instructs and you do so.
"Oh, dark mirror! Guide this one back to the place where they belong!" The headmaster commands, and was responded with silence.
He tilts his head before trying again. "Once more. Oh dark mirror! guide thi-"
"It is nowhere." Says the dark mirror nonchalant, a smile tugs at your lips, yet you refrain from making any odd faces.
"Eh?" The headmaster seems confused.
The dark mirror begins to explain. "The place they belong is nowhere in this world..it does not exist."
"What did you say?! That is unbelievable!" Crowley shouts, before calming down. "Well, the unbelievable seems to be the theme today.."
The dark mirror just stays silent.
The headmaster turns to you. "This is the first time this happened since I've become the headmaster, where exactly do you come from?" He asks.
You answer him, telling him your hometown.
"I've never heard of this place. I have a general understanding of where all the students came from, but I've never even heard of that name." Crowley says. "Let's go do some research in the library. He suggests.
You follow after him out the venue, and to the library you go.

Just as suspected, there was nothing in the library that even mentioned your hometown.
"Are you truly from where you say? You aren't hiding the truth, are you?" You just shake your head no.
"Looking at all this, you may have somehow been brought here from another planet..or another world." He suggests, you've already figured that out long ago.
"Do you have anything that can verify your identity? a drivers license or even a slipper?" Crowley asks, you rummage through your pockets.
"Nope, nothing on me." You answer, a bit disappointed. You could've checked your phone and told your friend everything that happened whether they believe it or not, or reread the story to prepare for whatever happens.
Well, you doubt the reception here will work, and you're pretty sure you've got every little detail of the story memorized in your head.
"This is concerning, I can't just let a magicless person stay at my school. However, as an educator. I can't toss a penniless teenager who has no means of contacting their guardians out on the street." He stays silent for a bit before smiling and saying his catchphrase. "For I am so gracious!"
Crowley thinks for a moment before speaking up again. "I know! There is an unused building on campus. It was once a dormitory in the past, if you can clean in up, you should be able to at least sleep there." He suggests, you get excited again. You can to live in the rusty, old, rat filled, dusty, disgusting, moldy, broken ramshackle dorm?! in your favorite novel?! amazing!
"For the time being, I shall allow you to stay there!" The headmaster interrupts your train of thoughts, "Then I will look for a way to return you home."
He rambles on for a bit on how gracious and amazing he is before leading you to the dirty dorm.
And there it is, the ramshackle dorm in all it's glory. You really hope this isn't some vivid dream.
"What a glorious place!" You say, with a hint of sarcasm in your tone.
"Right right, please come inside." The headmaster says, not picking up on your tone of voice and leads you inside.
The inside is worse, with speckles of dust flying everywhere, torn couches, and dirty floors. But you love it anyway.
"Staying here will at least keep you out of the rain." Crowley states. "I'm going to do more research, make yourself at home and please do not wander around the campus!" He warns before leaving you in the dark dorm.
You sigh, looking around the place. The game and novel doesn't show it, but the dust really does look like snow.
You walk to the window, gently pressing the palm of your hand against the glass.
Peeping through the stained glass, you see rain coming down, it's drops hit the ground with a splash you can hear through the barrier, and the wind howls loudly through the night.
You can see the campus nearby, and the lanterns glowing, lightening the cold and dark paths of ramshackle to the campus.
You feel the cool breeze come through the cracks of the walls, making you shiver slightly. "Why was I excited about this.." You mutter quietly.
It felt a little lonely as you sat down on the couch, still watching the rain. But the loud screech of a familiar beast was there to keep you company.
"Hyiii!! It's really coming down!" You turn, almost breaking your neck with how fast you snapped your head. Eyes widened as you look at the raccoon like beast.
"Gyahahaha! You shoud see the stupid look on your face!" Grim laughs, "It's like a bat being attacked by a water gun!" He snickers through his comparison.
"Sneaking back into the school again is easy-peasy for me, no sweat!" Grim brags. "If you think getting kicked out is gonna make me give up on getting in, you've got another thing coming!"
You stay quiet for a bit, sitting back down in the couch in a more comfortable position, bring your knees to your chest and allowing your head to rest on them. "Why do you wanna be in this school so badly?" You ask.
"That's simple!" Grim huffs as he begins to explain, "I'm a genius who is destined to become a great wizard! I've been waiting for the ebony carriage to pick me up..but.." The mood turns bitter and somber as Grim looks down in disappointment.
"But..hmph! the dark mirror has no eye for talent. So that's why I came here myself!" He speaks again, his moment of weakness quickly replaced by his cheerfull and haughty act.
"Not letting me in would be a loss for the world. Humans just don't get it." As Grim finishes his explanation, a rain drops through the cracks of the ceiling an onto his ears, making him flinch and screech.
"Nyaa! So cold! The ceiling is leaking!" He shivers, more water drips down again. "Fgyaaa! it keeps coming! my signature fire ears are gonna go out at this rate!"
You look at the ceiling calmly, and get up from your position. "I'm gonna look for buckets." You state.
Grim looks at you confusingly. "Why not use magic?" He asks curiously, before his eyes widen in realization and smirking smugly. "Oh! that's right, you can't use magic~" He taunts, laughing.
You just scoff at his weak attempt to piss you off and leave the room.
Walking through the foyer, you shiver slightly from the cold. Your socks dirty from the dusty floor and almost slip at one point from the small puddle caused by the leak.
The dark and broken halls of ramshackle makes you quiver, your heart quickens as you hear a noise. Before you can take another step, white cartoony figures appear before you.
"Hihihi..hihihi.." Their chuckles echoe loudly, you widen your eyes in surprise and fear.
"We haven't had a guest in such a long time.. I'm itching for some actiong! hihihihi....."
You calm as you realize who they are, the three ghosts of ramshackle! They were creepy at first, but you warmed up to them as the game and novel progressed.
You do have to fight them though, that's a shame. But it was easy in the game so..
'Oh..'
You don't know how to fight in real life..
'Oh crap.'

Hey I've been noticing that you have been playing a3,,, who is your favorite at this point?
Honestly I don’t know, I’m still new to the game so I don’t know much about the characters, Rn it’s Citron and Sakuya is a close second, But it might change if any new characters are introduced.

I barely know Tsuzuru and Sakuya, But if anything bad happens to them, I will fight whoever gave them such a cruel fate, And it won’t be pretty.
Also, Masumi seems like the type of person who has several restraining orders and he’s gonna get another one, Does anyone actually like him? I’m only on chapter four(4) so hopefully he’ll get better soon and I don’t wanna be too harsh ln him, But so far he gives me stalker vibes and I do not like that.
