Leona was seated on the Dorm Leaders chair while Ruggie and three other residents stood infront of him. It seemed to already be night, so everyone else was asleep by now.

"Ruggie, I heard you got chased by the Heartslabyul brats this afternoon." The lion male growled and sent a glare towards the hyena. "That's why I told you not to leave a single evidence behind! Fool!"

Ruggie's ears dropped as he began to explain himself. "T-That's not it. There were certain circumstances.." He then forced a grin, still quite worried. "They haven't gotten their hands on any evidence so please don't worry about it."

Leona clicked his tongue in annoyance, slamming his fist against the arm rest. "I paid a high price to that octopus bastard for his help. If something goes wrong it's you who's getting fried, be prepared."

"The plan is going smoothly," Ruggie reassured the lion.

"We'll make sure to get those Diasomnia jerks to squeal," the brunette resident announced.

"Aah, I'm so exited to see it play out." Ruggie put his hands behind his head.
"I want to see Malleus Draconia on his knees in shame in front of Leona. The whole world is sure to applaude us..." The hyena trailed off as he pictured it happening. "Even a hyena like me could get a big name scout. Pro league are gonna want us too."

Leona merely huffed, resting his head on his hands. "You guys are already getting exited like you've already caught your prey."

"And your popularity will skyrocket, Leona-san!" The red haired resident said.

"Everyone in Sunset Savanah are gonna think Leona is a better fit to be king!"

Leona frowned upon hearing the male's words and whispered to himself. "Being the second in line and winning magift are completely two different things."

Ruggie tilted his head rather puzzled. Not able to fully understand what Leona said under his breath.

"Nothing." The lion yawned as he stood up. "I'm going to bed. Leave."

"Roger. Goodnight Leona-san." Ruggie and the other residents then went back to their respective rooms. Leona however, was still in the lounge with a dark expression.

"Being top at school doesn't mean the whole world gets turned on its head."

And unknown to him was that the black blot was already accumulating inside him.

The door of your room had opened, revealing Jack standing at the door frame, wearing his gym uniform. Seeing you two still asleep, he shook his head.

Grim's eyes slowly opened as he yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"Oi, wake up." A deep, gruff voice spoke from beside you two. Hus ears twitched and he looked over to see Jack getting ready to lift the blanket off you.

"Jack?! What the hell are you doing here?" Grim cried out, waking you up.

You slowly got up, blinking a few times at the wolf male. "Huh..? Jack?"
