Things seemed to go smoothly for the gang as they successfully obtained three of the Night Stones. After some discussion, they decided to target the Purple Night Stone, located in Pomefiore.

"The Purple Night Stone is shaped like a diamond," Mr Simpson explained as he showed the gang a picture of the stone on his phone.

"Georgina, you go with Helena this time," said Linus to Georgina, who was painting her nails.

"Eh〜I don't wanna go back to that stupid dorm again!" whined Georgina.

"Man...do you hate this school that much?" asked Cross.

"Not just this school, all schools are boooooooring〜" said Gerogina, lying down. "In the morning you just had lessons and breaks, and in the afternoon lessons again then either go home or club activities. Boom! There goes one day and the processes just repeat for the rest of the week."

"But surely NRC isn't like that," said Jamie.

"Well...I admit that NRC is less boring, but still, I can't bear it!"

She then started to rant about the school and her former dorm.

"This school's full of brats who spend all day playing around with their magical pens and worshipping the so-called "Great Seven" as if they're gods or something. I can't think of anything lamer than this! And Pomefiore? All they do is learn about etiquette, fashion and cosmetics. Absolutely ridiculous! Everything just got worse when I became the dorm leader. I especially couldn't stand this kouhai who just followed me around, always asking me questions and looking at me with admiration just because I was the dorm leader at that time...what's his name again? I only remember he was two years below me and he had blonde hair with light purple ombre..."

"You must be talking about Vil Schoenheit," said Helena, showing Vil's MagiCam account on her phone. "He's 18 and you're 20, and he's got the hair color you mentioned."

"Ah yes, that's him!" said Georgina, pointing at the phone. "He hasn't changed much. He still got that smug face and sh***y hair,"

"Why would you forget about him? I mean, he's a well-known model, actor and has millions of followers on his MagiCam," said Sara.

"You do know I hate social media and I don't give a s**t about celebrities or whatsoever," replied Gerogina, crossing her arms.

"I guess he wouldn't have thought that his fellow dorm leader would become an assassin of the biggest criminal group in Twisted Wonderland," said Jonathan.

"Jonathan, I know you were already a member years before me, but bear in mind I was already part of this group at that time!"

"Alright, settle down now, you folks," said Linus. He then turned to Georgina. "Now Georgina, I know you hate this school, but please, you're the most familiar with Pomefiore and I'm asking you to go so you can guide Helena to find the stone," Then he whispered in her ear, with an evil smirk on his face.

"You do wanna see this school in ruins, right?"

A smile immediately lit up on Georgina's face.

"Of course I do," she replied. "Come on, Helena, let's do this!"

During the afternoon, Georgina and Helena managed to sneak into Pomefiore. When they walked past the training studio, they saw Vil talking to Epel, and immediately hid themselves behind a vase near the entrance.

"I've put the stone in the drawer under the apparatus shelf in the lab. Epel, you will be in charge of guarding it during the next shift. Make sure no one get near it!" said Vil.
