"Pardon our intrusion," Deuce said, opening the door to Trey's bedroom to see a bedridden green-haired boy with glasses perched on his nose as always and a ginger-head sitting on his bed.

"Oh, it's the A-Deuce combo. Plus Grim and Kylar in tow." Cater grinned, waving at the trio as they went inside.

"Hello...? What's up with the A-Deuce thing?" Ace raised an eyebrow, and Cater started rattling on about how much of a genius he was by mixing the two names because they both have '-ce' at the end of their names.

"Hey, are you okay? What happened?" Kylar asked, ignoring the three as he helped Trey adjust to a sitting position. He handed him tea and a small candy which was, of course, coated with painkillers–like what he had given to the other injured students. Where did he get all these painkillers, you might be wondering? Just don't ask.

"Ah, I tripped going down the stairs. I did my best to catch myself during the fall but my right foot got toasted. I have to be in crutches for a while." Trey explained to them, as calm as always. The others nodded in sympathy. Meanwhile, Kylar frowned at Trey's leg, a suspicion rising in his mind. Trey is lying... "It seems I'll be completely out of this year's Magift tournament," Trey said with a disappointed sigh.

"I wasn't going to do this if it wasn't a big deal but... here, have a can of tuna. Keep your chin up, Glasses." Grim said, looking away as if in pain as he held out his precious can of tuna to Trey. Smiling, Trey patted the beast's head.

"Thank you," Trey chuckled.

"Ugh, cut me some slack. Everything's harder now because Trey, our star player, is out. And now we have to do tryouts again," Cater rubbed his hand over his face, imagining the amount of paperwork before him. Ace and Deuce grinned.

"Tryouts?!?"

A loud knock sounded before the door swung open and Riddle stepped into the room. "What are you all doing? Taking over an injured person's room..."

"Ffngh! It's hot headed Riddle!" Grim blurted, earning a glare from Riddle. The redhead closed his eyes, trying to hide the disappointment and frustration inside of him.

"Hot headed... huh. I wouldn't be angry if you don't break any rules," he said, before nodding towards Kylar in greeting.

"Hello, Ri-kun," Kylar greeted back. As soon as the nickname slipped out of his mouth, the whole room filled with surprised gasps coming from the four Heartslabyul residents and magic wielding beast.

"Ri-kun?!" They screamed in unison, mouths open wide in shock. Kylar tilted his head, confused at their sudden reactions, while Riddle coughed in embarrassment.

Ace and Grim started snickering, exchanging glances with each other. Trey also started chuckling, while Deuce tried his best to keep a straight face. "Riddle-chan~ I didn't know you were already–" Cater started but was cut off by Riddle, who gave them all a threatening look before glancing back at Kylar. Kylar looked back at him, confused, shrugging his shoulders and paying no mind to the others.

"Ahem! Trey, how are you? Is there anything you want to eat or drink?" Riddle asked, worry filling his gaze as he looked at the chuckling Trey, half out of worry for his childhood friend and half trying to change the subject.

"Didn't I tell you not to be worried about me so much?" Trey asked as Riddle looked away, guilt darkening his eyes.

"But it's my fault you got hurt...."

"What does that mean...?" Ace questioned, staring at the upperclassmen.

"I had something to take care of so I went to the third year classroom during lunch...." Riddle started to explain what happened, while Kylar raised his eyebrow–the information was exactly the same as what the other students had told him. "Trey went out of his way to keep me safe from falling down the stairs and got injured."
