We all turn to the source of the voice...It was Jack!? 

"Where did you come from!?" I exclaim, startled at his appearance.

"What the hell!? If you were watching you should've come help us. Your dorm is full of bastards like him." Ace glared at the wolf.

"You guys..." Jack sighed, "Why are you working hard for other people's sake?" 

"For other's sake?" Deuce asked, confused on what Jack meant.

We all look at Jack in confusion, "I understand wanting to get back at the the culprit for the people that got hurt but.."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ace asked, making Jack confused.

"eh?"

"Who said we're going this to help people?" Ace said with a smirk. 

"We just wanted to prove our worth by catching the culprit." Deuce added.

"Exactly! Then we get picked for the Magical Shirt tournament and show off to the whole world!" Ace exclaimed.

"I'm gonna catch that guy so I can be on TV too!" Grim declared.

"I don't really have a reason. The Headmaster just asked me to and now we're playing detectives." I then clear my throat, "The rules are as follows. 1, Be pretty. 2, Be a boy. 3, Be a detective."

silence...

"I don't understand what you are saying..." They mutter.

"It doesn't matter!"

"Well anyways, I feel bad for Trey-Senpai, but we'll take his place in the spotlight~" Ace cheered.

Jack huffed, "Hmph. I thought I wouldn't be able to trust people who blindly help others but...I didn't think you'd be such jerks."

"Really now?" Ace steps forward to face Jack, "You're definitely worse than us. And by the looks of it you knew what was going on the entire time. That Ruggie Bucchi is the culprit."

"Come to think of it I never saw any Savanaclaw members in the infirmary or anyone who got injured." All heads were turned to me, "Because you were part of the same dorm, you already knew that you weren't gonna be targeted anyway. That's what you said, right?" I stated, knowing I was spitting facts.

Jack stays silent.

'So I AM right...'

"Hey, you lot. Duel with me." Jack demanded, changing the topic.

"Huuuuh??? What's gotten into you?" Ace asked.

"If guys are gonna spill their guts, they start with their fists. If you can show me you're not all bark and no bite, I'll tell you everything I know." Jack curls his fist.

"Geh...I hate getting all sweaty..." Ace groaned, obviously he doesn't wanna deal with this.

Deuce on the other hand was ready to fight, "I don't really mind. Makes things simple!" 

"Fungya~!!! Deuce's delinquent switch is on now...!" Grim exclaimed.

"Good luck, Ace, Deuce!!!" 

"Eh!? You're not gonna help!?" Ace exclaimed.

"Nah...Too tired from all that running. So I'll be cheering on from the sidelines!" I take a seat on the nearby bench.

'I'm gonna keep watch, just in case the teachers or anyone passes by. I don't wanna get in trouble after all the shit we went through...'
