*Ciel's POV*
"Oh, are you...? No, I don't see an anemone on your head. I'm afraid we're having a staff meeting right now. If you don't have a stake in this matter, I must ask your leave for us to sort this out internally."
"Grrr... You think I don't have a stake in this? I was planning on studying on my own and out scoring these guys in a fair competition. And now you've ruined that. I think I DO have a stake in here!" Jack growls a bit at Azul as he glares at the students and Trio
"Uh-oh. They've offended jack's principles... That is the last thing I need right now."
They looked behind Jack to see me getting out of the hiding spot with a disappointed look on my face as I stand up. I carefully dust myself off as I walked over to Jack, I stood beside him with my arms crossed. The trio looked happy to see me there, but right now I wasn't in the best mood to deal with them for what they did. After all, I was helping them study for the test since I get good scores on my tests. So they fact that did this behind my back definitely made me pissed, but it seems the trio didn't noticed my sour mood.
"Ciel, Jack? Are you here to save us?!" Grim cheered before freezing when he saw my dark glare.
"You boys have a lot of explaining to do." I informed as the trio looks down
"Don't get me wrong. I'm disgusted with every last one of you. Why would I side with the slimeball offering shady backroom deals OR the guys who chose to let others do their work for them?" Jack stated as I nod in agreement.
"What are you here for, then?" Ace questions
"Actually, I think Jack's right. He's given me the wake-up call I needed. If you wanna win, you gotta snatch that victory yourself! In other words... If I can snatch my contract from Azul by force and tear it up, it's null and void!" Grim announced with a determined glare as I facepalms.
'Why did you mention your plan out loud...' Then all of the infected students thought about it
"Hey, now that you mention it..." Pomefiore student trailed off
"Who needs specialties when we've got numbers?! GET HIM!" Scarabia student smirks.
All of the infected students began to get riled up as they began to agree with one another after hearing Grim's announcement. Did they forget that they don't have magic at the moment or do they think they can win. I couldn't help but sigh as I facepalmed at their antics as Jack seems to do the same.
'These guys are hopeless.'
"Speaking of principles, some folks around here could use them..." I said as Jack nods in agreement.
"Dear me. I really didn't want to resort to violence, but alas. Jade. Floyd. Play with them for a bit." Azul orders
"Understood, sir." Jade obliged with a smile while pulling out his magical pen.
"Oh man, I get to squeeze 'em all? Ha ha, niiice." Floyd said in excitement, pulling out his magical pen.
The twins then proceeds to charge towards the infected student, who were also charging, as a fight began to break out. Despite not having magic, they were doing pretty well against the twins though did suffer a dent into their numbers. This continued as I heard a sigh and saw that Azul joined the fight, probably tired of this fight not going anywhere. This was when the fight took a turn for the worse, Azul used what seems to be a golden contract as a shield. At first I thought that it was pointless, but to my surprised to see it was deflecting the attacks. This caused me and Jack to be shock by the sight, then after a couple of minutes later, the fight ended as all of the infected students were now on their knees.
"Geez, what a bunch of wimps. They're barely worth squeezing." Floyd stated in disappointment, not happy with the aftermath.
"It's like a whole school of feeble small fries." Azul said while frowning
"How many kindsa magic can this Azul guy bust out? I call shenanigans!" Ace exclaims in pain.
"Did Azul's golden contract deflect all of your attacks?" Jack questions in shock
"Just how strong is that contract? They didn't seem to stand a chance against it." I stated in surprise.
"Argh. This is just showing me how hard I lean on my specialty normally..." Deuce states in pain
"Without his fire magic, Grim's nothing more than your garden-variety weasel." Ace groans
"Myah... I ain't a weasel... *Thunk*" Grim groans out before falls to the ground.
"You have all signed these golden contracts. An official contract is completely unbreakable, regardless of how many bodies you throw at it. No magic can harm this document in any way. Heh heh heh... As long as the sea anemones stay on your heads, you will have no choice but to follow my orders. Why don't you start by cleaning up the lounge? You can handle ingredient prep work afterward. Go on, now. On your feet and get to work!" Azul states as all of the infected students got onto their feet.
"Is this for real...?" Ace questions as Azul smirks
"Jade. Floyd. You're in charge of instructing the new staff."
"Yes, sir." Jade says with a smile that felt familiar
"Yessir!" Floyd said cheerfully.
The twins walked off to do their task as the infected students were cleaning the mess that they have made. I watched as I heard some of them complaining about having to do this but had no control of their bodies. I did feel bad for them, but they brought it upon themselves for trying to get the easy way out. I saw how Jade would scold Grim on his cleaning as he left some spots of dirt, I couldn't help but be reminded of the man in a black suit. But before I could think about it more, Azul came up to me and Jack.
"You're...Jack Howl from Savanaclaw Dorm. And you're Ciel Phantomhive from Ramshackle Dorm, I believe? I would appreciate it if you took your leave now. Why don't you come by as costumers next time? You're welcome whenever you like." Azul stated with a smile before walking off.
"Grrr... C'mon, Ciel. We'd better fall back and regroup." Jack suggested as he turned to me
"But what about Grim and the others?" I question with worry.
"You saw how that fight went down. We're not gonna get anywhere unprepared." Jack informed me, realizing he was right, I finally agreed.
"...All right."
Jack quickly put me on his back before leaving the Mostro Lounge as the sounds of orders and complaints can be heard from behind. I can also hear the trio's pleads for me and Jack to come back, but right now we can't. Considering that a large group of people were taken down the moment Azul step in but the twins were able to take out some of them. Meaning fighting isn't the best course of action for right now. We have to come up with a better plan if we want to save them all from Azul, so they'll need to wait for a while.
'Just hold on, guys... We'll save you all.'
