"I see...so that's what happened. You don't want to apologize to take off the collar, but you know that convincing the Dorm Leader won't go smoothly."

"Yeah, that's right." ᴀᴄᴇ ɢʀᴜᴍʙʟᴇᴅ.

"So then, if you can't negotiate the Dorm Leader, you have the option to change dorms. However, your dorm was chosen after the Dark Mirror saw the quality of your soul, so there are a number of troublesome procedures required." ʜᴇᴀᴅᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀ ꜱᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ.

"Transfer, huh...that makes me feel like I'm just running away so no thanks." ᴀᴄᴇ ᴅᴇᴄʟɪɴᴇᴅ.

"Hm...Then how about challenging Mr. Rosehearts to a duel to take his place as dorm leader?" ʜᴇᴀᴅᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀ ꜱᴜɢɢᴇꜱᴛᴇᴅ.

"EH!?!?"

"Keep it down!" ʜᴇᴀᴅᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀ ʀᴇᴍɪɴᴅᴇᴅ ᴜꜱ ɪɴ ᴀ ʜᴜꜱʜᴇᴅ ᴛᴏɴᴇ.

'How can we!? That is the most crazy idea I've heard!'

"After all, that is how Mr. Rosehearts became dorm leader."

"Come to think of it, how are the Dorm Leaders chosen here in Night Raven College?" ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ ᴀꜱᴋᴇᴅ.

"We heard Riddle became Dorm Leader in a week." ɢʀɪᴍ ᴀᴅᴅᴇᴅ.

"They can either be chosen by the previous Dorm Leader, winning a duel against the current Dorm Leader...there are many other ways on how it is decided. A duel is one of the simpler ways, I'd say." ʜᴇᴀᴅᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ.

"Isn't using magic for personal gain forbidden...?"

"Personal ones, yes. However, a duel appointed and approved by the headmaster himself along with a valid reason is another story." ʜᴇᴀᴅᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀ ꜱᴀʏꜱ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀ ꜱᴍɪʟᴇ.

"I believe it's also forbidden to place handicaps on you opponent before the duel..." ᴛʀᴇʏ ᴀᴅᴅᴇᴅ.

'Huh...Interesting.'

"You would be able to get the collar removed without apologizing to Riddle, but..."

"All students are given the right to take the role of Dorm Leader the moment they enter the school. So Mr. Trapolla, will you challenge Mr. Rosehearts?" ʜᴇᴀᴅᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀ ᴀꜱᴋꜱ.

"Alright then. I'll show him who's boss." "Count me in." "Don't forget about me!" "I wanna join!"

"Unfortunately, Grim, Azuma, students from a different dorm cannot participate." 

'Dammit...'

"Fungya!? Then who's gonna take my collar off?" ɢʀɪᴍ ꜱᴀɪᴅ.

"I'll order Riddle to take it off if I become dorm leader." ᴀᴄᴇ ꜱᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ.

"Dammit...This was gonna be a chance for me to show off my skills..." ɢʀɪᴍ ꜱᴜʟᴋꜱ.

"Are you guys serious? I never would've expected you to agree, Deuce, Azuma."   ᴛʀᴇʏ ꜱᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ.

"Really? As a man, don't you want to aim for the top sometimes? If we're doing this, count me in. Make-it team play!"

"Lol. Deuce's Delinquent Mode has been activated..." 

"I prefer calling it Bad-Boy Mode." ᴀᴄᴇ ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴛᴇᴅ.

"Eh...? It's...okay?" ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ ꜱᴀɪᴅ ɪɴ ꜱᴜʀᴘʀɪꜱᴇ.

"Then I shall inform you the proceedings of the duel."

ɪ ꜰᴀᴄᴇ ᴀᴄᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ, "Let's come up with a strategy."

"Yeah. Anyone got any ideas?" ᴀᴄᴇ ᴀꜱᴋᴇᴅ.

"Hm...I feel like Dorm Leader will win if we use magic. But if it's a fist fight, we got this." ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ ꜱᴜɢɢᴇꜱᴛᴇᴅ.

"True! He seems like a weakling!"

"Oh, I forgot to mention. Any attacks other than magic is forbidden." ʜᴇᴀᴅᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴊᴇᴄᴛꜱ.

"Eh!?"

ʜᴇᴀᴅᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀ ʟᴀᴜɢʜꜱ ɪɴ ɢʟᴇᴇ, "Follow the rules and enjoy your duel! The formalities will be taken care of tomorrow so be mindful of the time. Now then, please excuse me."

ʜᴇᴀᴅᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀ ᴛᴀᴋᴇꜱ ʜɪꜱ ʟᴇᴀᴠᴇ.

"OH COME ON!"

"Shhh!"

"Sorry..."

"It's fine Zuma...I'm not confident in my magic but I'm sure we'll be fine!" "Y-Yeah..."

'You don't sound like it...'

"I've still got this collar on me so ya better go all out!" ɢʀɪᴍ ᴇxᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇᴅ.

"You guys..." ᴛʀᴇʏ-ꜱᴇɴᴘᴀɪ ʟᴏᴏᴋꜱ ᴀᴛ ᴜꜱ ɪɴ ᴅɪꜱʙᴇʟɪᴇꜰ.

"When I become dorm leader I'll make him say, I was wrong! I'm so sorry!" ᴀᴄᴇ ꜱᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ.

"You're saying as if you want to participate..." ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ ꜱɪɢʜᴇᴅ.

"I can't always be on defense! I wanna have fun too!"

"I can't tell if you want to learn magic or just play around..."

"I heard that!"
