"Riddle-senpai reminds me a lot of Shinobu. They may lack of height but their fury is terrifying..."

Everyone sweatdropped nervously after seeing the Heartslabyul Housewarden standing behind Ace with his arms crossed.
"H-HOUSEWARDEN!!" Ace reacts shockingly and starts sweating profusely.
"Hey, Riddle-kun! What's shaking pal? You're looking adorbs as always!" Cater greeted their Housewarden nervously.
Riddle glared at him and replied, "Hmph. Cater, keep running that mouth of yours and you'll lose it along with your head."
"Right, sorry! My bad!"
Riddle's eyes gaze down at everyone before he finally spots the female and her feline companion as he looks at them with sudden interest and curiosity.
"You're the guy who put that stupid collar on me during the Orientation Ceremony!" Grim bluntly accused before a sweat-dropping Y/N covered his mouth.
"You're the freshmen that caused all that fuss of expulsion yesterday. I'll ask that you not to refer my unique magic as a 'stupid collar'." Riddle retorted sternly, "For goodness sake, the Headmage is soft. If you forgive rule breakers, the whole system will collapse. Those who break the rules should have their heads removed immediately without exception."
"The things coming out his mouth don't suit his looks..." Ace quietly grumbles to himself, but Deuce hears him and nudges his side abdomen harshly to shut him up.
"The Headmage appears to have forgiven you but makes no mistake, the next time it happens, I will not." The Housewarden sternly added with his eyes dangerously glaring at them, causing them to flinch in fear.
'He reminds me of someone with his looks and eyes...' The female sweatdropped.
"...By the way, Housewarden, is there any way... you could say, remove this collar?" Ace sheepishly spoke up, scratching behind his head nervously.
"I had intended to remove it once you had taken an opportunity to reflect upon your crimes. But I haven't detected so much as a hint of remorse in the foolishness I've heard you spout today. So I'll let you keep that for a while.
"Don't worry, the freshmen curriculum is more focused on the fundamentals, not actually using magic. And your inability to use magic will help prevent incidents along the lines of what happened yesterday." Riddle added too nonchalantly calm.
"Now, if you've finished your meal, you should quit gossiping and prepare for your next class. The Queen of Hearts' Rule 271: 'One must leave the table within fifteen minutes of completing their lunch'. You do understand what happens to rule breakers I'm sure."
