 Jack
Jack

This is... the Hall of Mirrors that connects to all the dorms.
|
Heartslabyul Resident
|
I totally thought I'd make it into the top 50 this time!
|
Savanaclaw Resident
|
Dammit, he tricked me! That cheating octopus bastard!
|
Scarabia Resident
|
This totally ruins my school life!!
|
 Jack
Jack 
|
What the!? There's a whole bunch of other guys besides those three idiots with anemones on their heads!
There's some 2nd and 3rd years too. And they're all heading to the mirror for Octavinelle Dorm.
|
Choice 1: They're all complaining about their test ranking...
|
Choice 2: Who's this "cheating octopus bastard"?
|
 Jack
Jack 
|
Let's go take a look.
|
|
|
Choice 1: Whoa! The dorm's under water!
|
Choice 2: This is the complete opposite of Savanaclaw.
|
 Jack
Jack 
|
You kidding me! Night Raven College is amazing!
...Cough. We're taking a step into another dorm's territory. Don't get distracted and keep you guard up.
|
|
|
|
Choice 1: All the anemones are gathering here it seems.
|
Choice 2: There's a huge number of people.
|
 Jack
Jack 
|
100... No, looks closer to 200 people. But what is this place? Looks like a cafe...
"Mostro Lounge"? Where'd Ace and the other go?
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Well well. You poor, unfortunate souls who couldn't make it into the top 50 for test scores.
Welcome to Mostro Lounge.
I am sure you all are more than well aware of who I am but allow me to introduce myself again. I am Azul Ashengrotto.
I am the dorm head of Octavinelle, the boss of Mostro Lounge, and...
The man who will be your master from this day on.
|
 Jack
Jack 
|
...What now?
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
You all challenged me and lost.
In accordance with the contract, from now until you graduate, I will have you work yourselves to the bone as my servants.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Hold up. This is straight up fraud!
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
I believe you are the first year, Ace Trappola. Calling it "fraud" is rather rude.
The notebook I gave you as my part of the contract should have had a perfect plan for taking the tests.
If you followed it to the letter you should have had no problem scoring over 90 points.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Yeah. You're right, I got a 92!
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
That's wonderful! I'm overjoyed that it was of use to you.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
But I didn't hear anything about you handing that notebook over to this many people!
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
Ace is right on the money.
There's no way we'd all make it into the top 50 if you gave out this many notebooks!
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
If this many people score over 90 then scoring 85 doesn't change my position at all from when I was failing!
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Do you know of the concept of "duty of confidentiality"?
"I want to easily get a high score", "I don't want my grades to drop", "I want to spend my time until the test having fun"...
The idiots-no, everyone- who relied on me had their own reasons for doing so but...
Who made a contract for what reasons and under what conditions... Are all deeply connected to an individual's privacy
that I can't simply go around revealing to others, no?
I am a very honest man.
Look on page 127 of the contract and you'll see the clause about confidentiality.
I am simply upholding that.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Th-then what's gonna happen to my fire magic that I gave you as collateral for the notebook?
|
Pomefiore Resident
|
Y-yeah. And my water magic?
|
Scarabia Resident
|
Gimme back my unique magic!
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Oh my, oh my. Everyone, have you already forgotten the terms of the contract?
"In return for the notebook to counter the final exams you shall entrust an ability you take pride in to me.
If you are able to make it into the top 50 grades then I will return your ability...
And give you a notebook for every test until you graduate.
However, if you are unable to place in the top 50...
Then you will become my absolutely obedient servant until you graduate." ...You recall?
Based on the contract you signed, your everything to the hair on your head belong to me.
That means I'm free to choose whether or not to return your abilities.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
How's that possible?
|
Choice 1: So that's why Grim and Ace didn't fight with magic.
|
Choice 2: You can even take someone's abilities?
|
 Jack
Jack 
|
I've just been listening... But I can't handle any of these guys!!!
|
All
|
!!??
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
Ja-Jack!? Why're you here?
