The next day at Savanaclaw, Glory is doing his yoga exercises in the morning at the Savanaclaw lounge as advised from Vivien. Soon Grim waddles over to her.

"Hey Glory, whatcha doing?" Grim ask curiously.

"Doing yoga poses." Glory told him.

"Is that what humans do?" Grim ask curiously.

"Not all humans do, but some people like me do it just to clear things out of their minds. I'm doing it because I want to maintain control over my moonstone powers." She told him.

"What about you? Have you and the others start training already?" She ask curiously.

"We just finished..." Grim said as he lets out a sigh.

"All this training makes me hungry." He states and Glory giggles.

"Don't worry Grim. We can go get some grub I'm done with my yoga practices." She reassures, but while doing her yoga poses, a bubble arises from the falls freaking the grey gremlin out.

"Aeeeyyyyeee! Something's in the water!!!" Gram shrieks.

"Huh?" Glory turns around to see the bubbles forming into foam when it ascends to reveal the brunette lake goddess herself.

"Good morning Moonchild." She greets them calmly.

"Vivi!?" Grim shrills.

"Oh good morning Vivien. I didn't expect you to pop out of the water like that." Glory said.

"I travel places through water dear child." Vivien told her as she steps on to the surface and kneels down to the ravenette.

"I apologize for interrupting your training Moonchild. I came here to tell you more on how to defeat Azul." She informs.

"Huh? Really?" Glory ask curiously and she nods.

"Indeed. Now come closer my child." She assures as Glory nod and leans her head close to Vivien.

"In order to defeat your adversary, you must learn their weak points by look closely at their body language. Once you do, you strike them like the great white shark." She whispers as she leans back away leaving Glory thought processing what she said as Vivien smiled warmly at her.

"Good luck Moonchild." She reassures as Vivien smiles sweetly at her before she steps back to the water succumbing into the falls. Once she left, Glory ponders about Vivien said.

I have to read Azul's reaction in find his weakness in order to defeat him.

Glory thought. Right after she's gone, Grim folds his arms.

"You sure have a some strange friends, Glory." Grim remarks.

"Yeah, but Vivi and Merlin are my strange friends." Glory assures as she gets up from the ground and rolls up her yoga mat.

"Come on let's go." Glory said.

"Yeah I know." Grim replies.

Meanwhile at the Savanaclaw halls, Ruggie is climbing downstairs doing Leona's work when he told him to put his clothes in the washing machine. Annoyed with his lazy lion friend, Ruggie pouts with his brows creased on his forehead.

"Goddamn that Leona. Always pushing his responsibilities on me...." Ruggie grumbles while carrying his dirty clothes. Soon he notices someone climbing up the stairs until he saw Glory carrying her yoga mat while Grim clinging on to her shoulder.

"Sup Kitten." Ruggie greets her and she smiled.

"Hey Ruggie. How's training today?" She asks and he shrugs his shoulders with a relax smile.

"As usual, just have to train these fresh babies into shape that's all. And I had to drag Grim out for annoying the other guys at the stadium." Ruggie told her. Unsurprised, Glory glance her grey eyes at Grim with a look that says "Really?".

"Hehehe what can I say? These guys are a couple of wusses." Grim boasts making Glory roll her eyes and glance back at Ruggie.

"Do you need help with that? Who's clothes are those?" Glory asks curiously.

"There Leona's. I'm basically doing his work as always."

Not surprising...

Glory thought.

"What a deadbeat." Grim bluntly remarks.

"Yeah, but it's fine. I've been working a lot for my entire life and...the hardest times..." He informs, but his tone at the end is rather crestfallen when his ears droop down as she notice his hands gripping on to the wrinkled clothes. However, she knew what he meant as Glory looks back at her last battle with Leona at the stadium.

You're a worthless hyena from the slums and I'm the loathed second prince who will never become king! No matter what, that will never be overturned!

As she reminisces back at the stadium incident, Glory stares at the small hyena with grey eyes gleam with empathy. Soon a memory flashes before her eyes when she remembered what Merlin told a healing technique ability during her first training with him at the infirmary.

It's a spell technique that I call 'Mental Healing'. A healing technique where healers like yourself can heal mental illnesses, disorders, and other forms of mental trauma, to their healthy state and the reverse effects of mental tampering. However, that does not mean it's gone forever, you're still going to have memories of your mind, and I would like for you to remember this in case of emergencies.

When reminiscing what Merlin said to her, Glory clench her fists and places Grim down confusing him.

"Eh? Glory?" Grim looked baffled as Glory walks over to Ruggie when she lifts his chin.

"Hm? Kitten?" Ruggie utters with a puzzled look.

"Ruggie...don't freak out when I do this, ok?" Glory comforts him.

"Eh? Dah!" Ruggie flinches and his ears perk up.

"Fgyna!?" Grim shrieks with his eyes widen.

"Ruggie senpai, I-! Eeh!?" Jack froze with shock as his ears and tail perk up when he witnessed Glory kissing Ruggie on the forehead as light spark emits from her lips. As soon as she departs her lips, Ruggie was left stunned and speechless when he lays his hand on his forehead but also feels the heavy tension that he felt a minute ago vanished. The hyena glance up at him with a surprised yet curious look.

"...What did you do to me?" He asks curiously. Glory strokes her left arm with a sheepish smile.

"That was a healing technique called 'Mental Healing'. It allows me to heal people mentally with a single kiss in the forehead. When that happens, you'll felt a gentle sensation from the brain. However the affect will wore off after five minutes is what I believed, but this is also my way of saying 'don't worry' or 'everything is going to be alright'." She explains before closing her eyes with a bright grin.

"I hope this would make you feel better." Glory assures with a luminous smile. Ruggie blink his eyes as Glory grabs half a pile of Leona's clothes.

"Uh? Hey-!"

"It's fine. Don't worry about it. I'm good at organizing things and I don't mind helping others. Working independently is fine, but if you need anything for me to do then I'll be there lickety-split. I'm only doing this because I care and I wanna get to know you in person as well." She reassures before letting out a soft giggle.

"Besides, it's better than just doing all the work all by yourself. I don't want you to get all tired up now would I?" Glory assures with a perky bright smile as Ruggie blinks his eyes stunned by the sincere kindness that she offered. For the first time, he felt warmth in his chest. Deeply moved by her kind offer, the hyena averts his eyes to the right.

"...The washing machine is to the right where you put them and I'll do the washing here on out once we're done carrying the clothes." Ruggie instructs and the cheery ravenette nods.

"Thanks, I'll put them to the washing machine right now." Glory said as she marches down stairs with a sunny smile. Unbeknownst to her, Ruggie stares at her with a light blush crept from his cheeks.

Damn...Leona is right...I'm actually crushing on her.

He thought as he could feel his heart beating, but soon notice a heart tattoo with a word "Princess" in the middle on the left side of her back.

Huh. Didn't know she had a tattoo on her back...

Ruggie thought curiously as he tilts his head at the ravenette.

Still. I wonder what's the meaning behind that tattoo?

He pondered, staring at Glory.

"Um Ruggie senpai?"

Soon his thoughts were cut off by Jack as the small hyena widens his eyes and shakes his head.

"D-Don't worry about me. I'm gonna do some chores." Ruggie assures him as he turns his back marching downstairs with a flushed face leaving Jack and Grim baffled.

"Ruggie's acting weird, but...I can sense his intense feelings for Glory from afar..." Jack mutters with a jealous tone but tries to act tough about it.

"Eh? Intense feelings?" Grim ask tilting his head making the wolf widen his eyes and turns away.

"Nothing. I'm going back to my room." Jack said as he walks back to his room leaving the small grey gremlin titling his head in confusion.

"Huh. I wonder what's up with them?" Grim ask titling his head with a puzzled look.

***Her outfit^***

Times have passed and it's afternoon where Glory and Grim meet up with Jack and the idiot duo during lunch break.

"Search for a way to destroy the invincible contracts? Sounds good! It's pretty cowardly, though." Ace perks up.

"It's true that might get us what we want. Like Ace said, It's cowardly, though." Deuce said.

"Shut up! This isn't the time for saying it's cowardly, y'know!" Grim chides with an annoyed look.

"It's cowardly, but it's the only plan we can come up with." Glory reassures.

"If you're gonna talk cowardly, Azul is doing the same. He told us to get a photo from the ocean and planned to get in our way the entire time." Jack reminds them.

"Leona-senpai maybe cowardly but he's still the 'genius command tower'. I think it's worth a shot." He reassures.

"The word 'cowardly' is starting to not sound like a word..." Deuce mutters.

"Ooouuuh...Just the memory of being chased by the twins underwater is making my skin crawl, y'know!" Grim whimpers shuddering from the chilling memory of the twins yesterday and Glory lightly cringe.

"Yeah..." Glory mutters while looking back at the incident at the Coral Sea.

"A constant of speed...Grr, I could beat them if you could ride a magical wheel underwater!" He rants.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. But still...merfolk, huh. The Leech brothers are moray eels but I wonder what Azul is like in the ocean." Ace wonders.

"Now you mention it, I'm pretty sure Leona was calling him an 'octo-punk'." Jack points out and Glory nods.

"Same here. I knew he's not human from the start." Glory said shocking his friends.

"Eeh? You have!?" They shrieked and she nods.

"He called Azul 'octo-punk' from my last meeting with the dorm leaders and Vivien gave me hints about Azul. So checked him out yesterday at the Mostro Lounge with Jack and it's actually a dead give away.

"Yeah." Jack agrees crossing his arms.

"Is his true form an octopus merman?" Deuce ask curiously.

"Ffgna! If he gets more legs underwater then he seems even stronger than a moray eel!" Grim shrieks.

"And that's the whole point, Grim. We can't go back to the sea otherwise we'll get our ass whooped by them." She reassures.

"Wildcat is right. That's why we're saying we should think of a way to fight them that doesn't involve going in the ocean." Jack assures them.

"I'm not exactly sure if my guess is correct but. My guess is the contracts that Azul stored is probably in the vault that is behind his desk at the V.I.P room." Glory guesses.

"Same here. I'm very suspicious of that vault in the V.I.P room..." Jack agrees.

"If that's decided then let's sneak into Octavinelle!" Grim chirps with a confident smirk.

"There shouldn't be anyone there since lunch break is before opening hours. Let's check it out." Deuce suggests and she nods.

"Let's go get that contract boys." Glory said with a smirk.

———————
Meanwhile Team Glory sneak into Octavinelle and crept through the dorm without being spotted by Azul or the Leech twins. Soon they peek from the doorway to see the vault in the V.I.P room.

"Right, clear. Left, clear." Grim said turning his head back and forth.

"Alright guys, after me!" He whispers as the group enters the room quietly and crept towards the vault.

"It's true. It looks like nobody's here." Jack said gazing around the room.

"The vault has two authentication, a password and a key lock. That's fairly tight security." Deuce mutters. Soon Jack took a whiff and widen his eyes.

"Someone's coming!!" Jack warns as soon as they heard footsteps trotting towards the room causing them to panic.

"Ah, crap. Hide!" Ace shrieks as Team Glory quickly hides underneath the desk though it's rather tight due to Jack's muscular size.

"No room...Jack, you take up too much space." Ace winces.

"What now?" Jack ask confusingly.

"Sssh! Quiet Ace, someone's coming!" Glory seethes as the group heard footsteps trotting next to them. Soon the five slowly peered at Azul who is staring at the vault.

"Now, let's see...." Azul mutters as he stares at the vault with curious look however, behind his curiosity is a hint of craftiness from his blue orbs is what Glory is seeing.
