The group walks into the room. When [name] saw Trey, their eyes narrowed at the wrap around his ankle.

"Well, if it isn't Hunting Season! And Grim and [name]!" Cater waves to the group.

"Whaddaya mean 'Hunting Season'?" Ace asks Cater.

[name] walks over to Trey quietly

"It's what you call an Ace Deuce in poker!" Cater explains with a smile.

"That's right," [name] comments. "And Trey, who wrapped your ankle, it's terrible..."

"The school's nurse did [name]..." Trey sweat drops.

The demigod unwraps his ankle. Feeling in a pocket of their pants, they pull out some new bandages.

[name] had learnt to always keep extra on their person. It was either that or go to the Apollo kids any time they got hurt. And safe to say, the Apollo kids gotten tired of seeing [name].

"How did ya get hurt anyways Trey?" Ace turns his attention to the green haired third year.

"I tripped down the stairs. I couldn't catch myself and my ankle got messed up. I'll be on crutches for a while."

"You shouldn't have to be if they wrapped your ankle properly..." [name] rolls their eyes.

"Why are there so many people in here? Trey is supposed to be resting!" Riddle says as he steps into the room.

[name] tunes out the conversation as they focus on rewrapping the bandages.

"There," [name] steps back with a smile. "I spaced out, what were we talking about?"

Riddle sighs.

"I was just explaining how it was my fault that Trey got injured."

After that, Riddle, Cater, Deuce, and Ace joined the investigation. By then, Riddle had told the group it was clear that whoever the culprit was, was targeting spelldrive members who were going to play in the upcoming tournament.

They first went to Pomefiore, the dorm was a castle, [name] gaped at the sight of it.

"We're looking for a guy named 'Rook Hunt'. He has a bob and a fedora, can't miss him," Cater tells the group.

"He is an exceptional player, he performed well last year. Although he is an odd duck," Riddle continues where Cater left off.

"It's because he has a fedora," [name] mutters under their breath.
