   "  The test is over, whelps. Put your pens away and hand over your answer sheets like good little dogs.
And with that, I do believe exams have come to a close," Crewel spoke, tapping his pointer. The whole class cheered, before he spoke once again.

  " Down! SIT! Don't start celebrating yet. Any bad boys who fare poorly in their exams...
...will be given mandatory remedial lessons over the winter holidays. Consider yourself warned. Class dismissed". He said.

  Ace stretch his body " Whew, FINALLY. It's over!"." I gave it my absolute best. All that's left now is to wait for our scores to come back," Deuce sighed, anxious from the test.

  " Myah hah hah! No lousy test is a match for my brilliant mind," Grim speak big, as usual. Ace smirk " Really? You usually look like your lives just flashed before your eyes after written exams. Now you're changing your tune?"

  Grim huffed " Heh heh. You bet your bottom thaumark I am. Today marks the dawn of a new and improved me!
You better be ready, 'cause soon you'll all be callin' me "Galaxy Brain Grim" and beggin' for scraps of my knowledge,"." Belagak punye kucing," I muttered under my breath.

  " That's a bold claim, but I'm pretty confident in my performance this time myself. No offense, but I'm definitely gonna outscore you," (Deuce)

  " Says the guy who's perpetually biting his lip and parely staying above a falling grade.
Of course, this test was a piece of cake for me, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna come out on top," (Ace)

  I just listened to their conversation, playing Wuthering Waves in my phone. If my theory correct, this time it's Azul mischief since his counterpart of Ursula and probably make a deal....but hey, that's just a theory.

  " Anyway, exams are done and dusted. I'm gonna hit up the Track Club," Deuce spoke, so to Ace " Y'know, I could stand to get in some exercise at the Basketball Club myself. Let's break this huddle for today, guys," Ace smirked.

  Grim nodded " Y/N, let's go!"." You go back to dorm first....I have things to do.... straight to the fuckin dorm or you'll be my next carpet " I glared at Grim. He gulped, nodding.

MOSTRO LOUNGE

  " Why did you ignore my summons yesterday? You clearly don't understand the position you're in

  " Why did you ignore my summons yesterday? You clearly don't understand the position you're in." Azul spoke... staring down at one of the Octavinelle student. " L-look, I was just dealing some, uh, stomach problems...,".

  He tapped his chin " Is that true? Because lying would not do you any favors, I assure you,"." Yes, it's true! I was sick to my stomach,". The guy convince.

  " Jade, why don't you help motivate our friend here to speak a bit more honestly?" (Azul)

" As you wish. Now, now, there's no need to flinch. This won't hurt one bit.
If you could look my way? Yes, just like that, thank you. Shock the Heart," (Jade)

  " Hrk! Wh-what was that?!" (Octavinelle Student)

  Jade show his usual sly smile " Now, let's try this again. Why didn't you respond to Azul's summons yesterday?,". Without a second, the guy replied.
Because I was sick...
...sick of running myself ragged doing the dirty work of a low-down, black-hearted cheater like Azul, that is!
Of course I wasn't actually sick to my stomach. That's just an excuse!
Grk! What in the world?! My mouth started moving faster than my brain, and... Oh crud!" (Octavinelle Student)

Jade smirked, showing his sharps teeth " There we have it—your true feelings on the matter.,". Azul sighed, pity..." Oh, dear... Goodness gracious me. Why, I'm positively wounded.
Here I granted you a wish out of benevolence rivaling that of our venerable Sea Witch herself...
...and you would turn around and call me—what was that again? "A low-down, black-hearted cheater"?".

  The student gulped, trembling on his feet " I-I'm sorry! This is all a misunderstanding, I swear!"." Hmph. Spare me your sniveling. Floyd, you're up." Azul wave his hand.

  " You finally done? Can I squeeze him now?" Floyd smile send shiver down the students spine. Azul rolled his eyes , amused " Be my guest. Wring him out with all your heart,"." Can do~".

  The student pleaded " W-wait! Give me just one more chance! I promise I'll—GYAAAGH!"

  " Hmph. These deadbeats just love skimping on their payments, don't they?
When you buy something, you pay for it. When you incur a debt, you pay it back. That's just common sense," (Azul)

  Jade chuckled" I couldn't agree more, sir,"."  I can only hope this year provides me with better clients than the last...," Azul sighed. Jade replied in sinister smile " Heh heh. I look forward to seeing those final exam scores come in,"

  The door of the cafe ringing, the three startled. Azul yelled at Floyd ", I thought I told you to lock the door!"." Ehhh? You did??" Floyd replied, slightly nonchalant.

  "Haih...I'ma afraid the cafe is close—" (Azul)

  " It is?" I ask.

  The three were shocked, especially Azul. He stutter "P—pearl! What are you doing here?"." Cafeteria closed... thought I came here..." I rubbed my neck.

  " If it's close, I can leave...." Turn my body to leave, when Azul grabbed ahold of my wrist. "Now, now, Pearl. There's no need to leave now" he smile.

  Jade nod " how about you eat here for today? Special seat for you"."...I don't have to like pay or something right?" I ask, still unsure.

  "No payment, Dear pearl. Think of it as... appreciation. For the desert you make". They let me to a seat. Jade smile, professional " what do you want to orders?"

  I thought for a bit " anything is fine..."." Understood" Jade smile, before went to the kitchen. In immediate, his twin, Floyd, hugging me like I'm a stressed toy.

  "Shrimp-chan, you're so squeezable," Floyd smile, showing his sharp teeth. I just sighed....this is my life now. Azul stare at Floyd closeness in jealousy, but hide it. " Floyd,stop bothering N/N,"." Bummer..." He pouted.

  Azul sat beside me, placing his hat on the side. "I apologize for Floyd's.... closeness,"." It's fine really...." I shrugged. He chuckled quietly.

  "Say Pearl...how was the exam? Is it hard?" He smile gently. But I read too much face psychology...that his kinda mad. Maybe because I didn't make a deal with him for the exam.

  I just nod "it's a bit difficult for me...but I managed". He smile "Oh how wonderful....pearl,if you need any assistance, you can come to me,".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  After awhile I went on my way to my dorm....

  I arrived at the lounge early, but I hide. I heard what happened in full coear voices....I'm really am dealing with mafia fish....

  "...I just knew those frickin idiot make deal with Azul..." I thought, talking about Ace, Deuce and Grim. They were so confident today, I know something is wrong....now I know Jade's power, it's best I prepare.
