Somewhere else:

JACK: What was that light just now!?
ACE: Hm...? AH! Deuce, the anemone on your head's gone!
DEUCE: Wha–!? You're right!
GRIM: Mine's and Ace's are gone, too...!
GRIM: Alright! Leona and the others pulled through!

Jack: Let's get going. We gotta get to Hazel! I'll check the lounge! You guys get to Mortishackle.

[LOCATION: Octavinelle Dorm]

AZUL: Your lightning magic, and that guy's athletic abilities...! Give them all to me!
SCARABIA STUDENT: AHHHHH!!!!

RUGGIE: What is Azul-kun doing to everyone!? Everyone he touches just fall down one after another!
LEONA: Looks like his unique magic's not limited to stealing magic just by making them sign a contract.
Riddle: I get it. Maybe the contract itself was just used to keep the magic in control.
RUGGIE: Eh!? Isn't he a little bit too scary?
Trey: Yeah, restricted magic like that's an express ticket for Blot.

But before anything else could happen...Jack, Floyd, Jade, and even Hazel arrived to everyone's surprise.

JADE: Azul! What are you doing!?
FLOYD: Ew, what's this? What's going on?
Jack: Ugh, what's with the ruckus!?
Hazel: Is Azul going wild...!? (Don't tell me...!)
JACK: It looks like he's forcefully sucking magic out of the students.
Hazel: What in the name of Merlin happened here?!
AZUL: Jade, Floyd... You're finally back. Ah, you brought Hazel with you as well. Good, but talk about bad timing.
 Thanks to those idiots, all of my contracts are now gone.
That's why... Please give me your magic, too. Hey, please give it to me!
JADE: Please desist! Your unique magic is too strong and to top it off, it should not work without the contract.
 You should know best what would happen if you do not follow procedure!

AZUL: It's because... I just lost all of them... Ahaha... Ahahaha!
 I'll end up going back to my old self at this rate! (Then he looks over to Hazel, calming down a bit.) No, not yet. I haven't lost yet. 

Then Azul rushes over to Hazel, firing off a smoke potion on the others, detaining them for a while, even on Floyd and Jade.

"Hazel, my dear. You are mine." He said before kissing her on the lips, holding her in an embrace.

"HAZEL!"

But then Azul found himself flung back by a spell.

From Hazel. And she looked mad.

"You know, normally I would accept a mere peck on the cheek, but that was basically sexual harassment!"

"Wha?! T-the potion didn't work?! It should've-! Floyd! Jade! You were supposed to give her the potion!" Azul yelled.

"Oh. Well, I guess there could be two explanations." Jade said simply.

"Either she was immune to it~ or we decided not to give her the potion~~" Floyd finished.

(Bet you could guess which~~~)

"Sorry Azul, but this was going too far, so we told her everything. And we disposed that potion properly." Jade confessed before Floyd added his input.
FLOYD: Ya know~ You look so much lamer now compared to your old self, Azul.
AZUL: Ah~~~ Is that so?
In the end, I'm just a trashy, dumb octopus who can't do anything by himself, huh!
 That's why, in order to go back to my ideal self, I'll just steal everyone's magic!
 Beautiful singing voices, and even strong magic... All of them will be mine!
 Hand them over! All of them!

(Students panicking and running away)

FLOYD: What's with him? Something black and muddy is coming out from Azul's body... It's not ink, is it...?
JADE: He's using his unique magic too much. He has long surpassed the limit for Blot. At this rate, he will...!
Hazel: He will go into Overblot!
AZUL: Ahahaha! AHAHAHAHA!!

And then Azul's own 'corrupted form' emerged.

GRIM: Wha–!? Azul turned into an octopus!?
JADE: That is what Azul looks like under the sea.
FLOYD: But what's that big shadow behind him?

Hazel: That's a blot manifestation.
LEONA: In any case, we have to make him regain his senses.
RUGGIE: If we don't we'll have to say hi to anemones on our heads, too!

AZUL: Make a deal with me... Sign the contract...
FLOYD: I wouldn't mind if you were your normal self, but right now, it's a no-go.
JADE: I agree.

Hazel: Guys. You know what to do. (The others nodded) Sides, I have a feeling I'm still his main target.

As the guys countered and allowed Hazel to get close, Azul noticed Hazel, and focused on grabbing her to get her close, but that was what she wanted.

"Hazel~Hazel~~" But her being so close to him allowed him to drop his guard.

"Expecto Patronum."

Prongs emerged and rather than attacking, the patronus enveloped the two in a warm light, and the blot manifestation had vanished as well.

------------------------------------------------

AZUL: The only place I really fit in was inside my octopus pot.

Hazel heard the voice in Azul's heart as she listened and saw his childhood.

'I never slacked off for one second.
All of those people that made fun of me...
All of those that bullied me for what I looked like...
And then, all of their weakpoints, their worries that I thoroughly observed...
I held tightly to all of them!
If I probe their weaknesses, I could steal even the fins of someone who's proud of their swimming.
If I probe their worries, I could even steal someone's beautiful voice.
As long as I have this contract, I am invincible!
I'm no longer a trashy, lonely octopus.
I will control everything using my power.
All of those people that made fun of me will bow down to me.'

"What good is all that power, when it can't get you what you really need most? Your magic may take from others, but you're also robbing yourself of your heart and you'll lose something irreplaceable." Hazel said as she caressed Azul's face as he reverted back to normal.

--------------------------------------

AZUL: ...
FLOYD: Ah, he's awake.
JADE: Azul, how many fingers am I holding up?
FLOYD: 8... fingers...?
JADE: Indeed. It looks like you're still a little shaky. But... I'm so relieved.
It looks like your Blot has subsided for now.
LEONA: Geez, look at what you put us through.
RUGGIE: Uh, you're not really qualified to say that, Leona-san.
AZUL: What in the world... did I do...?
JADE: You used your magic too much and went into Overblot. Do you not remember?
FLOYD: You were sucking everyone's magic while crying "Give me your powers~~~!!"
 You looked so lame. I'm a little disillusioned now.
AZUL: Th-there's no way... I went berserk...?
 Unbelievable...

RUGGIE: Ah, well I guess it's normal to be mad after you lost everything you collected.
 I definitely won't forgive anyone who'd make fun of the piggy bank that I'm keeping.
GRIM: But using backhanded means is a little bit much, yanno? You better reflect on this!
JACK: You guys better reflect on using other people's notes to take the easy way out, too!

"But, I have to admit, those notes you made were something if you could get Grim to have 85 points." Hazel smiled.

AZUL: Eh...?
ACE: True. I got 90 points just by reading and studying your notes for one night, dude.
DEUCE: Yes, it really was exceptional.
JACK: I heard from the Headmaster that you created those notes after thoroughly researching 100 years' worth of school material.
 Riddle: I can't approve of your cheating, but I do admire your guts.
AZUL: ...... Hmph.
I won't be happy by that sort of consoling, you know?
FLOYD: Oh~? Azul's looking a little teary-eyed~
JADE: Oh, my. Have you reverted back to your old crybaby self, I wonder?
AZUL: You two! I believe that there was a secret agreement between us not to talk about that again!
JADE: Oh, my. Pardon me.

'Crybaby self?' Hazel thought....Wait. Was his gentleman act really just that? An act?
JACK: Oh, yeah. Here's the picture of Prince Rielle that you asked us to take. We brought it back properly. The sun hasn't set yet. This means that it's our win!

LEONA: What's up with this picture? Mermaid runts? They're all just talking.
Riddle: It looks like a class picture from elementary school...? What did you want this picture for?
FLOYD: Ah, how nostalgic~ This was the picture we took when we went on a field trip, right~?
 Jade and I are here. And then~~
The one hiding way behind here is~~~!! Baby Azul!

ALL: EH!?

AZUL: AHHHHH!! STOP IT!!
Don't look! Please don't look!
JADE: Oh, my, Azul. It seems like you're feeling energetic. How about going back to sleep?
It would be much better for you to give up since we've all seen.
ACE: Let me see!
LEONA: At the corner...
RUGGIE: Don't tell me it's this little kid with the octopus legs that's bigger than the other kids...
GRIM: Azul, I didn't know you were this chubby when you were younger!

"Oh, so that's why..." Hazel said looking at Azul.

AZUL: AaaaaAAHHhHAHAHHHH...!!!
DEUCE: I... I completely understand how you feel. Anyone has a past they don't want known!
I didn't see anything! Everyone, forget what you saw, too!
JACK: You're... You're pretty impulsive sometimes, huh...
AZUL: Damn it...! I definitely thought that I could expand Mostro Lounge's business and get rid of my dark past in one go...!
 I thought it was a perfect plan and yet~~~!
RUGGIE: He who runs after two hares will catch neither, as they say~
AZUL: I even destroyed the picture from the yearbook as well as the photographer's film...
 I thought that I had gotten rid of all existing pictures of me from before, but...
Just this one picture from the museum kept on haunting me.
GRIM: That doesn't mean that you should make others do your dirty work, yanno!

FLOYD: It doesn't matter. I really liked this Azul, you know? He seemed more delicious then compared to now~
AZUL: That's not the problem here!

'You don't have to be so desperate to hide it, you know...' Hazel thought.

AZUL: I don't want this anymore... I wanna go back inside my octopus pot...

"Actually." Hazel said looking at the picture, earning everyone's attention. "I think you looked really soft and cute back then. I know a friend back home, and he probably would've coddled and spoiled you silly." She smiled making Azul blush a furious red and he tried to hide his face with his hat.

JACK: In any case, we fulfilled our promise of bringing that picture back.
 We cleared the conditions you've set.
GRIM: Well, we did destroy all the contracts before that happened though.
JACK: Still, I can't be convinced.
Azul, I know that you're not the type to resort to unlawful means.
Take responsibility and put everything back in their place.

"Either way, I'm going to help as well. And this time with no contact." Hazel said with a smile.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[LOCATION: Mortishackle Dorm]

"Ah, it's nice that I'm still gonna be the prefect here. Though, I have a feeling that Azul's my third soulmate. I'll have to tell him asap." Hazel thought to herself, and noticed a certain person walking by.
Drake: Oh, I see that you're back.

"Oh, Drake. How are you?" Hazel greeted earning a look of confusion.

"Why call me Drake?"

"Because your horns remind me of a dragon." Hazel smiled, and 'Drake' felt a little warm at her smile.

Drake: I could not have imagined that you would win against Ashengrotto.
 You look absent-minded, but it turns out that you are quite cunning yourself.

"Actually, my friends are the ones to give credit to since they found out Azul was trying to cheat himself."

Drake: Fufu. In any case, I guess it all worked out in my favor since this garden is as quiet as ever.
Seeing the ever calm Ashengrotto make a terrified face must have been quite a sight.
I would have liked to see it, too.
 Hm... It seems as if it would be better for me to return to my dorm now.
 Now then, good night to you.

Shortly after he left, Hazel was gonna close her window when she heard some voices.

SILVER: Did you see him?
SEBEK: No, it looks like he's not here.
SILVER: He might have headed to the western building.
SEBEK: Ah, Young Master... Why do you move about without your guards?
 It's because you took your eyes off him, Silver!
SILVER: He's not a baby, so there's no need to fret too much.
SEBEK: It would be too late if something happened! Don't let your guard down for one second!
Are you even aware of how important being Young Master's guard is!?
Don't tell me that you've forgotten how benevolent Young Master and Lord Lilia have been to us even though we're human!
SILVER: (sighs)... This and that are different, you know?

Young Master...? Are they searching for the guy who was here earlier?

-----------------------------------------------------------
Here's another part! The last part of Azul's chapter will be ready by this late afternoon hopefully, I'm still working on it.

Plz comment and stay home!
