32 | Ruined

- Heartslabyul Dorm, Tea Garden -

     "A Mont Blanc?! Unbelievable!" Riddle yelled in anger, punching the table in the process. Everyone gasped and (Name) was surprised why Riddle's acting like that, "Laws of the Queen of Hearts, #562: One must not bring a Mont Blanc in an Unbirthday Party! This is an unacceptable mistake, how could you do something like this?!"

     "What?" Ace was confused.

     "This was a perfect Unbirthday Party and you ruined it!" Riddle angrily pointed his staff towards Ace. Deuce was surprised at the number of the rule, while Yuu covered his mouth from fear, "Just how many rules are there?" He asked the dorm leader.

     "There's a total of 810 rules from the Laws of the Queen of Hearts, I have memorized each of them," Riddle replied and smirked. "What kind of Dorm Leader I am if I don't know the rules of the Queen of Hearts?" He bragged.

     "Oh no, we're doomed... Trey, you didn't know this rule?" Cater whispered, nervous that they ruined their junior's chance. Trey shakes his head, denying it, "I don't, I only memorized until rule 350. I think I've abused the chances... I didn't expect a kind of tart that's not allowed for the Unbirthday Party..."

     (Name) placed her teacup on the table, "Well, that's unfortunate..." She commented, looking at the panicked Ace. Riddle pointed at Ace, "I, the dorm leader of Heartslabyul, shall now allow such rule-breaking in front of my eyes! Throw the Mont Blanc and dispose of the rule-breakers!"

Before Riddle could throw the Mont Blanc, (Name) summoned a shadow to catch it in time. The dorm leader was gonna attack the shadow, unfortunately, it went through its body and gave the tart to (Name). The demoness made a motion of warning to Riddle, stopping him from casting his unique magic on her...

     "Pardon my intrusion," (Name) bowed, smiling at the dorm leader. Then a beep was heard in her pocket, the unknown sender appeared again saying, "Good job. Now, wait until Riddle-san collars your juniors, and everything is up to you now."

     "Wait! You're just saying random rules out of your ass at this point!" Ace yelled. "Yeah! I'll just eat if you're just gonna throw it!"

     Trey held Riddle's shoulders, stopping him from doing anything, "I'm so sorry, Dorm Leader. It's my fault for making them bake a Mont Blanc," he took the blame. Cater nodded, "Yeah, Riddle-kun! We didn't think there would be a rule for that!"

     Riddle removed their hold, "I don't care if you suggested it! My point here is that you brought it here at the Unbirthday Party! That's the issue!" He yelled. Yuu rolled his eyes, "Following rules like that is stupid. You're acting like a puppet," he stated.

     The dorm leader of Heartslabyul's face turned red as he heard Yuu's proclamation, "How dare you call it stupid..." He fumed in anger. Cater pulled Riddle from the back, stopping him, "You guys, stop it! That word is prohibited! Riddle, calm down! These are just juniors, they're still trying their best to fit in!"

     "Nah! I'm gonna say it!" Ace laughed manically. "Throwing a whole tart for a rule sounds shit! Shut up, asshole!" He yelled at Riddle. Deuce nodded, "I agree about agreeing to the rules, but this is too much," he stated.

     Riddle scoffed, "You two dare to talk back to me. Everyone should know that breaking a small rule can cause a huge problem!" He remarked. Ace gave a mocking face, "Oh really? Everyone here agrees that the rules are unnecessary in this dorm, but if they disagree, they'll have a collar on their neck."

     "Ah, no we..."

     "Is that so?"

     "Not at all, dorm leader!" A student denied it. "Everything is based on your decisions!"

      Ace and Grim threw mean remarks at the students who sided with Riddle, the dorm leader pointed his staff towards the juniors, "Ever since I'm dorm leader, there hasn't been a single one that got expelled in Heartslabyul and I am honored to say that. In this dorm, I am the one with the highest marks, the strongest, and the wisest among all of you! That makes me absolute and that leaves you to follow my rules!"

     (Name) chuckled, "Oh, dear. You surely are amusing, Riddle-san." She commented. Riddle puffed, "I'm not using my magic because I wanted to! I'm using it to restrain you from breaking more rules and disciplining you! If you won't listen to me, then it's off of your heads!" He yelled.

     "Alright, everyone! Say: Yes, Dorm Leader!" Cater told them, trying to save them from getting collared. "... I'm afraid I can't do that..." Deuce murmured.

     "No way in hell!" Yuu yelled. "I don't listen to a selfish tyrant!" Ace added

     "What did you just say?" Riddle asked the salmon-haired. "WE SAID THAT YOU'RE A POMPOUS, SELFISH TYRANT!" Grim replied.

Before they could react, the first years and (Name) got a collar, leaving Yuu who isn't a magician. The demoness just sighed and snapped her fingers, cutting the collar off her neck. Riddle kept attacking her, but to his dismay, the demoness is too quick to dodge his attacks. She just gave him a smile of pity...

     "You underestimated me too much," she said as she landed on the ground. Creating a small puff of smoke, she locked Riddle with a summoned cage, "I guess you'll be needing discipline more than them," she whispered, going near the cage. "Cater! Trey! Throw them out!" The dorm leader demanded, pointing at the juniors.

     "Let go of the dorm leader!" A student yelled from the crowd, pointing his magical pen at the demoness. Before he could even react, the demoness appeared behind, "Be careful," she said and stomped his head towards the ground.

     "(Name)-san!" Yuu called. The juniors were fighting the grip of Cater and Trey, even Grim bit Trey's hand to let him go, "Grim, stop struggling!" The green-haired chased the grey cat.

Cater must've used his unique magic since the demoness is surrounded by Caters, who are ready to pounce on their prey. Touching the ground, a large circle surrounded the floor and followed a series of black spikes, attacking the Cater clones. A lot of students starts panicking and went into hiding...

     "She stole a hedgehog!" Another student yelled, pointing above the demoness's hat where the stolen hedgehog is hiding. She sighed at the problem, it was getting bigger than it is, "Tone it down," she ordered while hands appeared behind her and grabbed the students.

Grabbing the collared juniors with Yuu one by one, they disappeared in a puff of smoke. All of the students coughed, removing the black smoke in front of them. Trey rewrote (Name)'s cage spell, releasing Riddle, and Cater was comforting the shaken students. Riddle was cursing the demoness under his breath, while Trey is having a feeling of remorse. No one could disobey Riddle, after all, or else it's off their head, maybe the juniors can change that...
