A letter was handed to Jinx as the sun began to set. She took it, opening it. She grinned, eyes wide.

Dear Jinx,
As Headmaster of Cherryton Academy, I invite you to join our school. You will be starting as a First Year. It would be an honor to bring The Black Market Princess herself to our school as we have much to offer. Jack, who we heard you are receiving tutoring from, will be your guide. You'll have Louis' room to give you privacy. We have informed our students of your arrival.

Sincerely, Headmaster Gon

Jinx looked up, seeing Louis smile. "My old room, eh? Let's inform the others." He spoke with pride, guiding her down the stairs.

Jinx looked at her family, seeing Vi shift uncomfortably in her suit. "Jinx, who you know is next in line to lead The Shishigumi, will be attending Cherryton Academy. Once she finishes her first and second year, I'll be stepping down for her to take charge." Louis explained, handing Jinx his old backpack. It had the needed books, utensils, and a gun. "We all won't be able to stay there to protect her. That's why I have chosen Vi and Agata to attend the academy with the permission of Yahya. Free, you have access to have lunch and dinners with Jinx in the school cafeteria." Louis explained, smiling.

Jinx saw Vi give her two thumbs up, smiling in excitement. "And just remember, Jinx. If anyone gives you shit, you can call us and we will handle it for you. You can always come back to your room whenever." Louis gave her a kiss to her temple, his heart fluttering in pride for the little girl.

Jinx was at the steps of Cherryton, students giving odd glances before quickly looking away when it registered. A black panther and anteater approached the three, then came a tiger. "Hey, if it isn't The Black Market Princess herself. Say kid, wouldn't you like to join the drama club, become the star of the show?" The tiger offered, handing Jinx a flier. "Come to the drama club at 4pm, we will show you what we can do. Right guys?" The tiger pulled the two in, agreeing. Jinx looked over the pamphlet, then grinned. "Sure!" She headed in after taking another flier for Vi, running into the school.

Vi punched the tiger before running up the stairs after Powder with Agata. She didn't like how cocky the tiger was.

Jinx was greeted by Jack, who helped her find her classes. He explained the cafeteria food and what clubs there were. He commented that his friend Legoshi was in drama club too. The four walked around the academy, Jinx getting to make friends.

That was until Jinx met Mizuchi, the harlequin rabbit.
