"Oh my, Riddle. You look super cute today~!" ᴄᴀᴛᴇʀ-ꜱᴇɴᴘᴀɪ ᴇxᴄʟᴀɪᴍꜱ ᴛʀʏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴄʜᴀɴɢᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛᴏᴘɪᴄ.

"Hmph. Cater. If you keep talking like that it will be off with your head."

"Hey now, gimme a break!"

"Fugnya! This is the guy who put that weird collar on me during the ceremony!" ɢʀɪᴍ ᴇxᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇᴅ.

"So you two were the ones who caused all that ruckus yesterday. And will you knock it off, calling someone's unique magic a "weird collar"? For goodness sake, the Headmaster's too soft. If you forgive rule breakers the whole system will collapse. All you have to do is cut off the heads of those who- G̶o̴e̶s̴ ̵a̸g̸a̶i̴n̷s̸t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̵ ̸l̷a̶w̸ -disobey the rules. The Headmaster may have forgiven you, but next time it happens, I won't let you off so easily." ʀɪᴅᴅʟᴇ ꜱᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ.

'What the hell...'

"Um...By the way, Dorm Leader. Is there any way you could get this collar off me?" ᴀᴄᴇ ᴀꜱᴋꜱ ᴡɪᴛʜ ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ɪɴꜱɪɴᴄᴇʀɪᴛʏ.

"I was going to if you had learned your lesson but, the way you just talked shows you haven't at all. I'll have you walk around like that for a while longer. Don't worry, as first years you'll only be learning the fundamentals rather than magic training."

'The lessons are hard enough on it's own...I honestly can't keep up. I wonder how hard it would be on second year...!?'

"Now, if you're done eating, hurry and go to your next class. Queen of Hearts Rule Number 271: One should eat lunch and leave their seat within 15 minutes. If you break the rules...I'm sure you know what happens." ʀɪᴅᴅʟᴇ ꜱᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ.

"Another weird rule..."

ʀɪᴅᴅʟᴇ ᴛʜᴇɴ ɢɪᴠᴇꜱ ᴍᴇ ᴀ ꜱᴛᴇʀɴ ɢᴀᴢᴇ, "You, the one in the hoodie."

"Me...!?"

"Back straight. Chest open, make proper eye contact and open your mouth a little wider." ʜᴇ ɪɴꜱᴛʀᴜᴄᴛᴇᴅ ᴀꜱ ɪ ʟᴏᴏᴋ ᴀᴛ ʜɪᴍ ɪɴ ᴄᴏɴꜰᴜꜱɪᴏɴ.

ʜᴇ ᴛʜᴇɴ ᴛᴜʀɴꜱ ᴛᴏ ꜰᴀᴄᴇ ᴀᴄᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ, "Always answer 'Yes, Dorm Leader!'"

"Yes, Dorm Leader!" ᴛʜᴇ 3 ᴏꜰ ᴜꜱ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴏʙᴠɪᴏᴜꜱʟʏ ɴᴏᴛ ɪɴ ꜱʏɴᴄ, ʙᴜᴛ ʀɪᴅᴅʟᴇ'ꜱ ꜱᴀᴛɪꜱꜰɪᴇᴅ ᴀᴛ ᴏᴜʀ ᴀᴛᴛᴇᴍᴘᴛ...?

"Now now, I'll look after them for you." ᴛʀᴇʏ ꜱᴀᴠᴇꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʏ!

"Hmph. You're the Vice-Dorm Leader so I expect you to not act foolishly. Following the Queen of Hearts Law Number 339: After a meal, one must always drink lemon tea with two sugars. I must buy sugar cubes from the school store, so I'll be on my way." ᴏɴᴄᴇ ʀɪᴅᴅʟᴇ ᴡᴀꜱ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏꜰ ꜱɪɢʜᴛ, ᴡᴇ ᴀʟʟ ʟᴇᴛ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴀ ʜᴇᴀᴠʏ ꜱɪɢʜ ᴡᴇ ᴅɪᴅɴ'ᴛ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴡᴇ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ʜᴏʟᴅɪɴɢ.

"Hiyeeh~! That was close." ᴄᴀᴛᴇʀ-ꜱᴇɴᴘᴀɪ ꜱɪɢʜꜱ.

"That guy was so obnoxious." ɢʀɪᴍ ʜᴜꜰꜰꜱ ᴀꜱ ʜᴇ ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇꜱ ʜɪꜱ ᴘᴀᴡꜱ ᴏɴ ʜɪꜱ ʜɪᴘꜱ.
