*A little more push and I'm finished

- Scarabia Dorm, Hallway -

Azul raised an eyebrow at Jamil's statement, confused since he was questioning if he did something bad. The vice dorm leader of Scarabia paid no mind and made Octavinelle's dorm leader look at his sad face—which is a bad decision...

The one in front of you is your Master.

What I command, you shall obey.

Snake Whisper...

Azul's eyes turned into lifeless ones, alike the eyes that made Kalim strict and Yuu agree with what Jamil said. The Octavinelle dorm leader tried his best to fight the hypnotizing magic that was poisoning his consciousness with Jamil telling him to give in already...

     "Tell me, Azul, who's your Master?" Jamil asked, talking to the kneeling dorm leader in front of him. Azul raised his head, "My Master is—My Master is you, Jamil," he replied.

     Jamil started to laugh maniacally, "You underestimated me as a magician, Azul. You deserve to get controlled like a puppet," he smirked. "Do you know that you damaged my plan? I was this close to kicking Kalim out of his position with those two knuckleheads from Ramshackle."

Seems like Jamil has been planning this from the very start of the semester—considering he managed to not let anyone know he's behind the manipulation of Kalim's attitude, but since the Octavinelle entered, all of those went to dust. He just needs to kick the Octavinelle trio out of this dorm...

     "Wait, Azul, did you return the magic you stole from the people you've made contracts with?" Jamil asked and received a nod. He clicked his tongue, "I was thinking of using it, but guess not. Your unique magic is useful either way, yet it'll take a lot of time to make contracts again—"

     "I remembered what was written on the contracts..." Azul murmured, earning a hum from Jamil. "Those contents in my contracts—their woes, secrets, weaknesses, and desires. All of it, I remember all of it," he told the twisted vice dorm leader of Scarabia.

     "What an interesting twisted collection you have there, Azul. Seems like I chose the right option of not befriending you at all," Jamil chuckled and knelt in front of Azul. "Do you have any secrets concerning the Headmaster?" He asked, receiving a nod again. "To think you still have your purpose! This is perfect!" He cheered.

After hearing those words, Jamil can't control his happiness since he can finally threaten the Headmaster with this secret and kick Kalim out of this school so he can be the dorm leader of Scarabia instead...

     "I've heard enough," Jade appeared from the end of the hallway, holding a phone. Grim was offended when he was called a knucklehead of Ramshackle, "You finally showed your true self! How dare you trick us!" Grim yelled at Jamil.

     "How much did you hear?!" Jamil demanded.

     Yuu scoffed, "What do you think, dumbass? We've been recording you ever since you left the lounge with Azul. Mind you it's recorded live and has five thousand viewers in Azul Magicam's account—the viewers include the ones inside the lounge as well," he replied.

Some residents of Scarabia came, disappointed that their beloved Vice Dorm Leader is the mastermind behind all of this—Jamil tried saying that it's not him and Jade pointed at Azul, justifying the fact he's under his control. Grim yelled at Jamil for fooling them, including Kalim. After those brainwashing and manipulating Kalim—he's the bad guy...

     "I didn't want this to happen, but you forced me! Azul, this is an order, kick them all out this instant!" Jamil ordered, pointing at the bunch who caught him. "Yes, as you wish, Master..." Azul agreed, raising his staff.

     Jade placed himself in front of everyone, "Azul, come back to your senses! You shouldn't do this!" He told his dorm leader. Jamil just laughed, "Pathetic! He won't listen to you!" He told them.

     "Yes, I'm indeed Master Jamil's servant... As if I'll let that happen," the Octavinelle dorm leader pointed his staff at Azul, his eyes back to his original one. The vice dorm leader of Scarabia was astounded, while Azul just laughed at the sight, "Karma always bites back. Didn't you say I'm a twisted magician and thought I'm too stupid?

     "That's impossible! I made sure you look right—"

     Azul scoffed, "So? I thought I said I'm a magician that's cautious and always has a backup plan. Isn't that right, Floyd?" He called the silly twin. Instead of hearing the usual childish voice, they heard a gruff voice instead, "You let your guard down easily, Sea Snake~!" He teased.

Grim and Yuu were surprised about the voice Floyd has right now. It seems like Floyd and Azul made a contract together, causing the dorm leader to borrow the silly twin's unique magic to repel Jamil's manipulating unique magic...

With that said, Azul managed to make Jamil blurt out all of his plans from the very start and he knew it was him all along because of how everyone has simple unique magic, while he is still unknown—only for him to theorize Jamil might be the same as Jade's unique magic...

     "Jamil... What's going on?" A teary-eyed Kalim entered the hallway, looking at Jamil. "Tell me, please... All of it's a lie, isn't it? They're lying, right?"

     "..."

     "I know I'm losing consciousness all of the sudden and I'm not aware of the time... I always fall asleep anywhere at the point you're scolding me for it... " Kalim added, trying to reach out to the quiet Jamil. "You... You wouldn't try to control me, right? Say something, damnit! Tell me it's all a lie that I'm just sleeping and you... You wouldn't kick me out of this school since we're friends, right? You would always stay by my side! You promised me you'll be my friend forever!"

     "That's what I've been saying..." Jamil's smile turned into a sick one. He grabbed Kalim's arm, "... And to think you'll believe such silly promise I made, how gullible of you. I'VE HATED HOW OBLIVIOUS, DENSE, STUPID, CAREFREE, AND POSITIVE YOU ARE... I've tried my best to cover up the decisions you made that always lead to disaster... I hate that smile of yours, as well... I'M SICK OF EVERYDAY TELLING ME THAT EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT! WITH THAT FUCKING SMILE OF YOURS!"

     "He has gonna insane!" Yuu hissed.

     "I'll stop being nice starting from now on... DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I WISHED THAT YOU'D DISAPPEARED?! Don't worry... Everything will end today, for the sake of my family and myself!" Jamil stated as the atmosphere in the dorm changed into an eerie one, similar to Riddle back when he lost his mind. "I HATE YOU, KALIM AL-ASIM!"

The one in front of you is your Master.

What I command, you shall obey.

Snake Whisper...

Every resident of Scarabia that's watching Jamil suddenly grabbed their heads, they were all controlled by Jamil at once. The Octavinelle trio immediately covered the Ramshackle students and Kalim's eyes with them closing their own, so they won't get controlled—thankfully they didn't, however...

     "THROW ALL OF THEM OUT OF THIS DORM THIS INSTANT!" Jamil ordered, pointing at the ones who didn't get controlled by him. "Yes, Master Jamil!"
