It's almost time for curfew so we had to leave the infirmary sadly. The 7 of us had to go on our seperate ways but before that, "Oh right. Zuma! You can have this back." Ruggie calls out to me as he hands me the tablet he stole. "Why are you giving this back to me?" I ask, confused as I had forgotten about it and he could've kept it with him to sell it or something (Idia-senpai probably won't forgive me for that).

"I don't really have a need for it so I'm giving it back. Plus it's not yours right? Welp, see ya!" Ruggie then runs off to catch up with Leona-senpai and Jack. "Man...today has been a rough day for us." Ace sighed. "I can't wait to get back to the dorms..." Deuce added.

"Um...guys? Is the library still open at this time?" I ask. "I think so...?" Deuce replies. "Great! Grim you go on ahead, I just need to do something first." I run off to the other direction where I remember the library is supposed to be.

There was no one in the library...it reminds me how I went in here to hide on my first day. I walk over to once of the PCs and turn one on. I open up the browser and log into my Chirper account. "Please be online...please be online..." I mutter as I send him a message.

I stretch my arms and yawn. "I hope Grim didn't do anything stupid while I was gone..." I mutter. "Great seven, I need a shower."

In my way back to Ramshackle, I open up my pocket notebook and reread through the pages again. "This is the 2nd overblot that happened. I don't really need to use this notebook anymore but maybe..."

Headmaster said that Overblots are a rare occurrence and much is not researched about it so I think I'll have to do my own research. Just in case...

The next day, I did as I promised. Mission: Return Tablet to Nekurai Paisen. I'll admit I got lost on the way to the classroom, I've never been to the upper floors. It's so scary...

Once I finally found the classroom, I quietly make my way inside, trying to look for Idia-Senpai. Spotting his long flaming blue hair, I call out to him using the online nickname I gave to him "Yo! Nekurai Paisen!"

He looked a bit startled but once he saw that it was me, he calmed down a bit. "A-Azuma-shi...You really came." He said. "Yeah...I'll admit I almost got lost. Thanks for the help though!" I say as I hand him the tablet over.

"Oh? Idia, who's this?" A voice asks from behind Idia. The guy had silver-blue hair with glasses framing his eyes and judging by his uniform, he's from Octavinelle. "Azul-shi, this is Azuma-shi..." Idia replies.

"Oh you must be the supposed magicless student. Thought I've heard recently that you are now able to use magic." Azul hums. I let out a nervous, stifled laugh. "Magicless student leveled up to magic-user, huh?"

"Fuhihi~! I just noticed your names sound similar...with the exception of the last syllable of course." Idia-senpai stated. We both turn to him, then he starts mumbling something along the lines of "maybe I shouldn't have said that."

"Ahem. Anyway, it is a pleasure meeting you Azuma." Azul gives me a hand to shake. "Yeah, you too Azul." Despite the welcoming smile he gives me, I feel like he's hiding something shady...

"If you need any help, feel free to stop by Mostro Lounge. Not only do we offer dining services but we also can assist students in need. You wouldn't want to fail the upcoming exams, right?" He said, handing me a business card. I turn to Idia-senpai, he's giving me a hint that I shouldn't trust him. "I'll think about it. Thanks anyway!"
