4 | Yuu

*information about (Name), next update ;>

As (Name) stood in the Diasomnia line, a student suddenly went near her. Taking a closer look, he has short black hair with pink highlights and a pair of dark red wine-like eyes. (Name) smiled at him as a sign of respect...

     "Nice to meet you~!" Lilia greeted, offering his hand. "I'm Lilia Vanrouge and your name is (Name) or Barbatos, right?" He asked.

     She gave him a small nod, shaking his hand, "Indeed, I am. A pleasure to meet you, Lilia-san, I'm grateful you warm-heartedly welcomed here." She said to him, returning the kindness.

(Name) turned her attention to the mysterious guy she saved from getting charred alive. The black-haired man, on the other hand, gulped as the Headmaster instructed him to go forward to be placed in a dorm. He was no magician after all and he's sure that he was brought here by mistake...

State thy name...

     "Yuu," he told the mirror and removed his robe. For the first time, it became quiet. The mirror seems to be having a hard time analyzing Yuu, "What's happening...?"

I cannot confirm...

His color, shape, and soul...

It's nothing, but emptiness...

     "What has happened to the Dark Mirror?" Crowley asked, bewildered at what just happened. "First, we have a girl. And now, we got someone who doesn't have magic. The ebony carriage won't bring someone who doesn't have magic! This is a mistake! In my 100 years of selecting, this is the first time Dark Mirror is wrong..."

     Grim chew the ropes off his body to free himself, "Then I'll take his place!" He yelled. "Stay right there, raccoon!" Crowley summoned another lash of love to get Grim, but Grim just charred it.

     The cat laughed loudly, "Unlike that moron, I can use magic! Let me take his place!" He proclaimed as he was ready to make a wildfire once more. "If you need proof, I'll show you right now!"

     "Everyone! Shield yourself!" The dorm leader of Heartslabyul ordered, pushing the students to an isolated area.

Grim started to blow fire everywhere, from the carpets, curtains, and portraits around him. Some students got caught on fire, while the others watched and sat in the corner of the room. (Name) walked towards Yuu, who was hiding behind the Dark Mirror...

     "Yuu-san, please follow me," she told him. Covering him with a wet cloth to prevent getting caught midway by Grim's fire. "I must say, I'm surprised as well that the Mirror said you don't have magic within you. Here, have some tea."

     "Where did you—"

     "It's not necessary to ask how I got tea," (Name) stated as she watched the other's situation getting worse. "Help me! My butt's on fire!" The innocent-looking man yelled as he passed (Name) and Yuu. With a flick of her hand, the fire disappeared on the said man.

     Crowley was shielding himself from danger, "At this rate, the school will have a sea of fire! Someone catch that raccoon!" He ordered. The dorm leader of Savanaclaw gave a clicking sound, "They can do it. I'm too lazy."

     The beautiful blonde-haired of Pomefiore went near him, "Aren't you a predator in hunting? Isn't that little nice snack for you?" He teased the lion. The lion groaned in annoyance, "Why me? Why not do it yourself?"

     (Name) sipped her tea, chilling amidst the chaos surrounding her. The dorm leader of Octavinelle raised his hand, "Headmaster, I'll take it from here. I'm sure the others don't have the intention to hurt the poor creature, so I'll take this situation myself."

     The tablet sighed, "That's Azul for you. Always into earning points."

     "Ms. (Name), you won't do anything to stop this?" Yuu asked, earning a shaking head response from Barbatos. She gave her a quiet warning, continuing to watch the scene happening in front of her. "They might die."

     "I assure you, no one will die today."

     "IS ANYONE LISTENING TO ME?!" Crowley yelled at the two humans, whose sipping teas. The Savanaclaw dorm leader rolled his eyes, "Why don't you do it, Headmaster? It's just a stupid raccoon."

     "I'm not a raccoon! My name is the Great Grim!"

     The Octavinelle dorm leader, who's called Azul, pushed his glasses up his nose. "Would you mind helping me, Riddle? This raccoon is making the first day of the first year traumatizing."

     "I tolerate people who break the rules, so let's teach him a lesson," Riddle or the dorm leader of Heartslabyul told Azul. He cracked his knuckles, going near the raccoon.

     (Name) put aside her tea and stood up, "Let me do this a little faster." She told the two youngsters. Placing her hand above the ground, a small red circle appeared on it. Two black hands were summoned from it and went to Grim, locking him in place.

Controlling the hands, she motioned it to give Grim to her. Grim was still struggling from the hands until (Name) cast the spell to shut him up again, restraining him from causing another wildfire again...

     "You shouldn't have done that earlier," Yuu told her. She merely chuckled with satisfaction, "I'm enjoying the show, let me be, Yuu-san." She told him as she started to extinguish the fire around them.

Off with your head!

     Grim gasped, but he couldn't talk because of the spell (Name) did to him. She placed the raccoon to the ground as well dispelling the spell she placed on him, "WHAT IS THIS?" He demanded to Riddle. It was a heart collar with a hole between it, the two sides have different colors: one is red and one is black.

     "Laws of the Queen of Hearts #23: No one should bring a cat to a festival," Riddle told him. "You being a cat already broke the rule I stated. I shall have you leave at once!"

     "I'm not a cat!" Grim complained. "I'll just burn this collar off—what? WHY CAN'T I USE MY FIRE?!" He looked at Riddle, who was smirking in triumph. "You won't be using any magic until I remove that collar from your neck. Now you're just an ordinary cat," Riddle mocked Grim.

     "As wonderful as ever, Riddle!" Azul praised, appearing behind the said cherry-haired man. "All magics can get sealed by your Unique Magic... I want it..." He said to himself then coughed. "I don't want to use it on me, of course."

    "You must do something to your familiar! Properly discipline—" Crowley told Yuu, going near him. (Name) blocked Crowley's path, smiling at him, "I must say, but Yuu-san said multiple times that he isn't the owner of the said familiar."

     "Did he? It's not yours?" Crowley asked Yuu, receiving a shaking head response from him. He then coughed from his mistake, "Anyways, let's get the raccoon out of this castle. Before we get another wildfire and don't worry, you won't be our next meal. For I am gracious!" He said to Grim, patting his head.

     (Name) placed a hand under her chin, "That's sad, I would want to cook something made out of him." She stated and gave the usual smile she gives to anyone.
