Mu Qing, Ace, Deuce, and Grim arrived at Main Street where Grim was bragging about himself as usual. "Watch out, Night Raven students coming through! Oh did my collar catch your attention? Too bad, it's better than those you're stuck with! Hey, you know the king that can't use magic, then you get to be the new janitor! Hahaha!" He laughed as he guffawed at gawking eyes pointed at them. "Way to keep it subtle, Bèn Māo, now everyone's looking.." Mu Qing muttered.

Grim quirked up an eyebrow before he took on a haughty look, "I hope that's a good name you're giving me."

"It means stupid cat" Grim gawked at him, "and, you're my only dorm mate, so of course, you will have to familiarize yourself with my usage of names for people I've acquainted..." Mu Qing stated.

Ace growled, "I swear to god when I get my magic back, Grim's the first one on my hit list!"

Deuce glared at Grim, "don't forget what the Headmage said about making trouble!" He turned to Ace, "and you're not gonna be able to participate in class without magic. So swallow your pride and apologize to the Housewarden, the sooner you do that the better!"

Ace groaned, "I hate this...so much!"

"Well, we do have some time to spare before class starts. I'm also interested in knowing more about other dorms' creeds and regulations. You make with groveling while I scope the place." Grim smirked. He wanted to see how Ace was going to mess this up.

"Why would anyone make this field trip?!" Ace gritted out.

Mu Qing just walked along as he eyed a student with neck-length, wavy orange hair, emerald eyes, and a diamond on his face. He was holding a pail of paint.

The student smiled before winking at him. Mu Qing blinked, did his eyes catch on some wind or something? Also, what's with the paint? Mu Qing shook his head, 'probably for a project...' as he realized that was none of his business.

The gang arrived at the Heartslabyul Dorm. Grim flew around, "man this place is swank! Now that our dorm's improved, it's practically a match, compared to the dump it once was!"

Mu Qing flicked Grim's head, "Bèn Māo, do not make it a habit of comparison, it will only inflate one's complexity on self-esteem."

Grim rubbed his head, "fine!" He glared in another direction.

Mu Qing looked to the rose garden section to see a student painting on it...wait...he's painting the roses red?!

Wait...it's like that dream he had, only there weren't any card men, but since he realized he could hear him nonetheless...it unleashed his anger. He stomped over to him.

"Ahh~I gotta get my paint on!" The boy sighed with a weary smile.

"Hey! Why are you painting those flowers?!" Mu Qing demanded, he hated the thought of something beautiful tarnished with something artificial and possibly deadly to the plant.

The boy didn't seem to have heard him and grinned, "hello~!"

Not just this rose bush, but Mu Qing realized that he had painted several of them.

"You fool! Why would you do this?!" He crossed his arms.

The ginger-headed boy looked at the new student, "what do you mean? What's with the question? I'm painting the roses red!" There was a 'duh!' tone in his voice.
