The Descendent Of The BLADE.

🐙📂Pt.2

3rd POV:
"Alright, we only have three minutes with the potion, alright? So we will just about make it inside and hide before it wears off."

"Alright..." Yuu and Jack said drinking the potion.

"Yuck. What is in this?" Yuu asked.

"Nether wart and a golden carrot." Raijin said.

"What?" Jack said.

"Nevermind..."Raijin mumbled.

"This is… the Hall of Mirrors for each dorm?" Jack said confused.

"I definitely thought I’d make it to the top 50…!"

"Damn it, we were tricked by that lying octopus bastard!"

"Goodbye to my glorious student life!!"

"What’s going on? There are so many students with anemones on their heads!? I thought it was only those three idiots. There are 2nd and 3rd years, too. It looks like they’re all gathered in front of the Octavinelle Dorm mirror." Jack wondered.

"Hey, who do they mean by 'lying octopus bastard'?" Yuu asked.

"I know who it is..." Raijin mumbled.

"Let’s go check it out, too." Jack said.

"Whoa! There’s a dorm underwater!?" Yuu beamed.

"To think there’d be a dorm underwater! Night Raven College is amazing!" Jack cleared his throat, "This is temporary, but we’ll be entering another dorm. You better watch yourself, got it?"

"It looks like the Sea Anemone Troop’s all gathered here." Yuu said.

"100… No, I feel like it’s nearing 200… And what’s this place? It looks like a shop… Mostro Lounge? Hey, where’s Ace and the other two?" Jack asked.

"Oh, if it isn’t the unfortunate students who couldn’t make it to the Top 50. Welcome to Mostro Lounge. I know that you all are already familiar with me, but let me introduce myself once again. I am Azul Ashengrotto. I am Octavinelle Dorm’s Prefect as well as Mostro Lounge’s manager. And now… Starting today, I will be your Master."Azul stated.

"What did he say?" Jack asked.

"He said that he is their boss." Raijin said.

"You lost a bet against me. And according to our contract, you all will be working under me as my servants until the day you graduate." Azul stated.

"Wait right there! This is a scam, y’know!" Ace shouted.

"If I remember correctly, you are Ace Trappola, a 1st year. What a rude accusation. I believe that I gave you the perfect test notes just like I promised in our contract. Judging by that, you should have scored more than 90 points." Azul stated.

"Yeah, I did score 92 points!" Ace pointed out.

"What wonderful news! I’m happy to have been of help to you." Azul cheered.

"But I didn’t know that you’d be giving those notes to all these guys!" Ace argued.

"I second Ace’s argument." Even if we received the notes, there’s no way all of us could place in the top 50!" Deuce added.

"If everyone got more than 90 points, getting 85 points and below is just like failing, yanno!" Grim grumbled.

"Are you boys aware of the term 'duty of confidentiality'?" Azul asked, "'I want to get a high score with no effort.' 'I don’t want to fail.' 'I want to laze around until the day of the tests.' and etc…This time, the idiot. Ahem, all of your circumstances were different, however, you do understand that there are a lot of complicated processes if you asked me 'Who else?' 'Under what circumstances?' and 'What kind of contract was it?'
There is no way that I will be talking about someone behind their back, you know? I am a very honest man, after all. There was a stipulation written on page 127 of our contract under the fine print, correct? I am just protecting that agreement."

"Th-then, what will happen to my fire magic that I gave as a collateral?" Grim asked.

"He’s right! What about my water magic?"

"Give me back my unique magic!"

"Oh, my. Did you already forget the conditions for our contract? 'In place of my giving you the test notes, you are to surrender to me one thing that you hold on to proudly.' 'If you managed to be in the top 50, you get to keep your magic.' 'And I will be giving you the test notes until your graduation.' 'However, if you did not make it to the top 50…' "You will be working with absolute submission under me as my servant.'... Was it not?" Azul questioned, "A lock of your hair was part of the collateral, too, correct? In other words… Whether I return your magic or not… It is completely up to me."

"Is that even legal!?" Ace yelped.

"Is it possible to give your magic up?" Yuu questioned.

"Yea... Sort of..." Raijin said.

"I’ve been listening all this time, but… All of you are intolerable!" Jack got up from his hiding spot.

"Wait!" Raijin tried to stop Jack but it was too late.

"J-Jack…!? What are you doing here?" Deuce yelped.
