Potions class is still as normal as ever where Glory and her friends are focusing on Divus's lecture (or so I thought *cough* cough* Ace is falls asleep). Noticed his sleepy head, Glory flicks his forehead waking him up.

"Ow! The hell was that for?" Ace seethes softy glaring at her.

"To save your butt from an angry Divus." Glory whispers undaunted by his glare.

"You were asleep baka. Unlike the Great Grim, yours truly was able to go through his lecture lickety split!" Grin chirps with a cocky smirk.

"Half." Glory butts in.

"You made it half throughout the lecture as you were about to fall asleep too." She points out flinching the gremlin.

"That was different!" Grim yelps, but soon a whip swoosh from their desk where the trio flinched from the loud sound of the Ah when they lift their heads to see an irked Crewel before.

"No barking in my room, puppies!" He scolds.

"Sorry." They all apologized with weary and slightly irked looks. However, what irks him the most is the boys constantly fawning over her from behind.

"Kawaii.~~" The fan club members sighed with adoring smiles.

"Our Golden Rose looks so beautiful in that school uniform that we all wore!" The Heartslabyul student gushes.

"Our Ophelia is a beautiful siren!" The Octavinelle student glees.

"Damn right. Our lioness is so sexy!" The Savanaclaw remarks with a smirk.

"Now Sultana is even more gorgeous than before!" The Scarabia student fawns.

"Aaaah~. Kawaii.~" They all gushed over the beautiful ravenette causing Ace, Deuce, Grim, and Glory to sweatdrop from the unwanted attention.

"Good lord..." Glory grumbles rubbing her temple.

"You sure received a bunch of pet names from them..." Grim mumbles.

"Gaaaah....I don't wanna know how many students in this campus are gonna expand..." Ace mutters.

"Please don't remind me that..." Deuce mumbles with a sweatdrop. Soon a tick mark throbs from Crewel's head and glares  at his students.

"AND ALL OF YOU STOP GAWKING AT MISS CORBETT THIS INSTANT!!" Crewel scolds slamming his whip to his hand.

~~~~~~

An hour later, potions class ended where Glory, Grim, and the A-Deuce duo are strolling through the halls looking worn out.

"That was an awkward class..." Deuce mutters.

"Ugggh those guys were so creepy..." Grim mumbles.

"Even Crewel's done with thrive shit..." Ace points out. Soon students start murmuring about Glory.

"Pssst watch out! It's Gothel's blood!" The Pomefiore student whispers.

"Crap!" The second Pomefiore student shrieks causing the A-Deuce duo to scowl at the two Pomefiore students yet Glory remains unfazed by their assumptions and kept ignoring their whispers as they watched both of them fled off from them. Soon they stroll pass an Ignihyde student.

"Gah! Gothel's blood!" He screeches and immediately fled away from a split second making Ace, Grim, and Deuce frowns at him while Glory kept her head up ignoring his "Gothel's blood" comment.

"Eeek! Gothel's blood!!" The Diasomnia student yelps.

"Ack! Don't let her lock you up in the tower!!" The second Diasomnia student shouts and this snaps the A-Deuce duo when Ace grabs her hand and pulls her closer shocking the ravenette when she glance up at Ace who is scowling at the two students.

"Oi! Shut the f#*k will ya? She doesn't live in a tower so don't throw shade at her, dumbasses! We don't want to hear this!" He bellows with an irked glare. Glory blinks her eyes twice with a light blush crept from her cheeks.

"Ace..." She mutters feeling touched by his words.

"Yeah leave me henchman alone!" Grim hisses with a glare.

"Shut up..." He mutters as Glory spun her head to Deuce.

"SHUT THE F#*K UP! Glory told you a few weeks ago that she's not like Gothel! Do you not have eyes or ears!?" Deuce threatens feeling his "bad boy" vibe seeping out flinching them and this touched her heart with her grey eyes filled with warmth.

"Ack!...S-Sorry!" The second Diasomnia student stutters.

"Run away!!!" The third Diasomnia student screeches as the three Diasomnia students fled off leaving Deuce to click his tongue.

"Bunch of assholes." Deuce spat with an irked frown.

"No kidding." Ace agrees. On the other hand, Glory went silent as she felt her heart beating in her chest.

This can't be right....

Glory thought flustered by the fact her heart beats for her two friends.

"Oi, Glo. You ok?" He asks curiously making her snap and shakes her head.

"Uh. No! Not at all!" She replies clearing her throat while flustered and folds her arms.

"Though I appreciate that you and Deuce defended me, I can handle this on my own." Glory reassures furrowing her brows while lightly blushing.

"And let them talk shit about you? Hell no." Ace bluntly retorts.

"How do you even managed this?" Deuce asks curiously with Glory rolling her eyes.

"Insults are just words, you guys. Brute forces are pointless even though it's understandable that you're pissed, but it won't do you any good either. Besides, I felt worse and I heard this WAY TOO many times before." She restated telling it how it is.

"At least you've earned most of the dorms' trust." Grim points out.

"So far, you have four dorms that are quite fond of you. Which means you have three dorms left to gain your trust." Grim counted with his paws.

"Not to mentioned that you have a fan club on your own." Deuce chimes.

"WAH! There she is!!!"

"OUR GODDESS!!"

"Speaking of fan club...." Ace mutters.

"Ugh not again...." Glory groans as the three of them spun their heads to see the fan club; only this time, it's full of Scarabia students. Much to Grim's shock.

"Ffgya! What the hell!? Is it me or does this fan club expands with Scarabia students now!!" Grim shrieks.

"I mean...She is popular on Magicam thanks to their fanbase online, so I'm not that surprised." Ace points out.

"I got this." Glory said as she pulls out her left glove. Deuce, Ace, and Grim covered their eyes and Glory blinds them with her light.

"Aaaah!" All of them winced and fell down from the bright impact. Now blinded, Glory spun to her friends with a smile.

"Let's go." Glory said as she spun her heels and she and her friends walked off to their next class.

~~~~~~~~~
Deep in the forest under the water, blue glow sparks before her eyes when she sees a vision from the banner of the Vocal and Dance championship to Vil's overblot. Soon the lake goddess let's out a gasp and sighs laying her hand on her chest. Then she lifts her head with emerald orbs gleam with fear.

"It's time...." She mutters as Vivien arise from the lake and saunters through the water until she reaches the land. Soon after, Vivien strolls through the forest to the campus to warned her about Vil.
~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile at the infirmary, Merlin couldn't stop chortling at what he just witnessed.

"It appears that my sundrop has fallen for the baka A-Deuce duo." He assumes letting out a chuckle.

"Hmm just how many boys she's going to fall I wonder?~" Merlin sarcastically with a mock ponder while grinning widely as he enjoys the suspense.
~~~~~~~~~

***Glory's outfit for physical education^***

Later at the sports field, Vargas blows the whistle at his students.

"Alright bean sports, find a partner, get on track, and test your speed!" He instructs as all of them gather around searching for partners, but unsurprisingly a few students from Pomefiore, Ignihyde, and Diasomnia neither want to be partners with Glory and are keeping their distance from her.

"Jeez talk about an unpleasant class...." Grim grumbles making her sigh.

"Ignore them Grim." She assured and lifts Grim off of her shoulder and placed him down as she kneels down to his level.

"Stay here and don't cause trouble, and I mean it Grim." Glory informs him.

"Yeah yeah. I got it." Grim grumpily replies pouting at her like a child. Glory sighs and pats his head as she rises back and up and walks off to find a partner. Suddenly, a memory flashes before her when she thought about Ace and Deuce as a blush crept from her cheeks again, but quickly repeatedly whips her head.

Don't think about Glo. They're just your friends.

She told herself mentally while strolling through the field.

Sure they've defended me, but my heart beats for both of them...? Please don't tell me I'm actually...

"Hey, Glor!"

"Hm?"

As soon as she spun her head snapping out of her daze, Ace wraps an arm around her shoulder.

"Sooo Vargas is pairing us into pairs Huh?" Ace asks wiggling his brows. Suspicious, Glory creases her brows at him.

"And I'm assuming that you want me to be partners with me, yet I believe there's more than meets the eye." Glory stated.

"Aah Cmon, I'm not that bad!" Ace retorts with a pout.

"Mmmhmm...sure." Glory replies sarcastically still skeptical. Suddenly, the auburn haired troublemaker was soon shoved away by the bluenette.

"Don't tease her, Ace!" He scolds.

"What the hell!?" Ace shrieks frowning at the bluenette as Deuce whips his head to Glory.

"Ignore what Ace said before. How about you and I pair up? I-It's not like it's a date or anything, but...." Deuce said averting his eyes with a blush before gazing back at Glory.

"..I was hoping to race with you again." He stated. Glory curls her brows with a smirk.

"Oh? You want to test our speed again?" Glory asks curiously with daring grey eyes. Deuce smirks back.

"I'm always up for a competition!" He boldly proclaims. Soon their banter was cut off when Ace shoves him aside.

"Oi Deuce! I was here first!" He yelps. Deuce turns around and frowns at the auburn haired troublemaker.

"Well I think Glory-san would pair up someone who isn't a troublemaker!" He quips.

"Oh like you can do better, crybaby Deuce?" Ace snarks.

"THE F%#K DID YA SAY, ASSHOLE?!" He bellows as they both exchange glares with Glory sweatdropping at their bickering.

Ok I can't decide which ones the most annoying, yet I slowly developed feelings for both of them which is weird...

Glory ponders.

"GLORY-CHAAAAN!!!"

"Oof!"

Suddenly her train of thoughts got interrupted when Kalim tackles her to the ground shocking Ace and Deuce. Glory groans and lifts her head to see a smiley white haired dorm head beaming at her.

"Glory-chan! Let's be partners!!" He chirps as the dorm head lifts her up making her flustered.

"Gah!" She yelps from being picked up while Kalim beams brightly at her.

"Jamil's not here right now cuz he's busy with work right now, but that's okay cuz I can be partners with you!" He beams cheerily.

"Well that's reasonable and I don't mind partners with you, but could you please put me down?" Glory politely asks while flustered.

"Hah?" Ace utters with an irked glare along with Deuce who is shooting daggers at Kalim too.

"Really?! Awesome!" Kalim cheers as he puts Glory down and smiles merrily at her.

"Cmon Glory-chan! Let's get to the tracks!!" He ushers as Kalim grabs her wrist and drags her out.

"Whoa!" Glory yelps as she was dragged to the track by the cheery Kalim leaving Ace and Deuce scowling at the upbeat dorm leader.

"Goddamnit...!" Ace grumbles.

Sh#t! I blew my chance!!

Deuce mentally scolds himself face palming for blowing off his chance to get closer to Glory.

As soon as everyone gets on track, Kalim and Glory stand each other where the white haired dorm head stretches his arms out.

"Ready Glory-chan?" He asks with a smile. Glory creases her brows with a smirk and lets out a huff.

"I should asks you the same thing." She quips.

"Hm?" Kalim looked baffled as Glory took off her blue sweater revealing her light blue workout tank top with baby blue sports bra under it and teal yoga pants donning blue sneakers earning awes and flushed looks from the boys including her friends.

"Are you ready to race THE best track runner from Red Phoenix High School?" She boldly declares.

"NANI?!" Ace and Deuce shrieked with blushes crept from their cheeks.

"Ffgna!! Her curves are out!!" Grim shrills.

"What the hell?! Why is she wearing that?!" Jack shrieks with a blush crept from his cheeks as his tail sprung up in shock. Ruggie, who is standing beside him shrugs his shoulders.

"Eeh. This looks fine. What she wears doesn't matter as long as she keeps wearing that tank top." He reassures in an half assed tone.

"Hmph! That witch! Does she bare any shame that she displays?!" Sebek scoffs.

"Oi."

"Hm? Mm?!" Soon Sebek's eyes widened when he met the gaze of the terrifying Floyd.

"Zip your lip before I squeezed you until your eyes pop opened." He threatens slightly flinching from his threats before whipping his head with a huff. Soon Floyd whips back to Glory with a perky smile.

"Aaaaaah Lionfish looks so cuuuute!!!~" Floyd gushes with hearts fluttering all over his head.

"~fufufu~ Seems like she's gaining attention as always." Jade chuckles with an amused smile.

"Speaking of..." Jade soon shifts his heterochromatic eyes to Epel and Riddle whose faces heats up upon seeing her gym outfit.

For the love of Great Sevens, what the hell is that girl doing?!

Riddle thought while heating up.

"I can't unsee that, but...." Soon Epel glance at the bush.

I have a bad feeling that someone is watching her...

Epel thought with a sweatdrop on his head feeling like someone's gazing at Glory from afar. Speaking of afar, behind the bush is Pomefiore's vice dorm leader, Rook Hunt, who is "observing" the beautiful ravenette from afar hiding beneath the bushes.

"Mmmm...ravishingly beautiful." He praises with an intrigued smile spying on her with his binoculars.

~~~~~~
Meanwhile at the infirmary, Merlin went deadpan since the moment he laid eyes on Rook.

"Of course the huntsman is stalking my sundrop. Why haven't I EVER thought about that?" He sarcastically inquires before letting out a sigh.

"I fear for this..." Merlin utters cringing after the thought of Rook meeting with Glory as he kept his eyes glued to the crystal ball to watch over Glory.
~~~~~~

Back at the sports field while everyone is awed by her beauty including Kalim who is awestruck by her gym outfit, Glory smirks and extends her legs out preparing her racing stance while smirking daringly.

"Eyes on the track, boi. The race is about to start." Glory reminds him before letting out a giggle and tilts her head a bit forming an innocent smile at him.

"Unless you want to spend your time checking me out." She teases with a coy smile that had the poor innocent bean blushed beet red before shaking his head and beams at her nevertheless.

"Erm...! No! Not at all! Let's do this!!" He chirps and extends his legs with a slight awkward grin yet tires to remain confident as he ever be. Glory giggles at his cute reaction and whips back to the track.

"Ready, set, go!!" Vargas shouts as he blows the whistle where the two competitive athletes sprint through the tracks.

~~~~~~
"Oh oh oh oh~. Sundrop, you little minx. Titillating the purest dorm head of Scarabia are ya?~" Merlin teases with a wide smile while watching them race.

"Nyaaa~ Snooping as always, teach?"

The tiny wizard soon let's out a sigh and whips his head to the cheeky Cheshire Cat and former student of his.

"Hello, Chenya. Still snooping as always?" Merlin quips with the cat snickers.

"You known me too well, teach." Chenya chuckles.

"How can I not? I'm a former teacher at Royal Swords Academy after all. Though I feel like you came more than just to visit me, I assume?" Merlin stated.

"Naaaah. I just came here to say hi before meeting up with Sundrop-chan and from what I heard from the crystal ball, it sounds like things are getting heated." Chenya implies with a smirk.

"Well she is popular with the boys recently so I'm not that surprised yet..."

Annnnd cue the fan girlish chortle and the giddy smile crept under his mustache.

"I don't know who to ship my precious Sundrop with! There are so many possibilities to go with!"

"Who's your top ship right now?" Chenya asks curiously as he watched the tiny wizard hums while darting his eyes with his wide giddy smile.

"Hmmm there's so many to count, but right now I'm enjoying the heated moment between Sundrop and the pure sweet desert bean himself at this point. Hehehe." He chuckles with his fan girlish aura peeking through causing Chenya to sweatdrop.

"No offense teach, but I think you're going overboard with these "ships" you're having..." He mumbles.
~~~~~~~

Back at the field, all of the boys are jaw dropped when they witnessed Glory outrunning Kalim thanks to her high school years as top tracker runner at Belle Haven High School. As soon as she reaches to the finished line, the fan club goes wild over the ravenette as she wipes the sweat off of her forehead. Soon Kalim catches up to her panting heavily before glancing up at her with a smile.

"Wow Glory-chan, you ran so fast!" Kalim panted and Glory giggles smiling back.

"What can I say? I'm a fast track runner after all." Glory boasted.

"Glory my henchman!!"

Soon a sigh escaped from her lips as Glory spun her head to see Grim scampering towards her along her friends.

"How many times do I have to tell you Grim, I'm not your henchman." Glory reminds him looking annoyed as he scampers.

"Meh whatever." Grim casually replies.

"Nice sprint, Glory!" Ace compliments and Glory smiles softly at him.

"Thanks Ace." Glory replies.

"Of course, she's a top track runner back in her world. No wonder Jack and I can't beat in a race. Not even Ruggie can't outrun her." Deuce stated causing the hyena to chuckle awkwardly.

"Ugggh yeah..." Ruggie groans cringing at his memory of his wild goose chase with Glory back at the courtyard before glancing back at Glory.

"Though I'm not surprised. It makes sense how you were able to catch up to me back in our little race." Ruggie stated and Glory chuckles.

"What can ya do? I workout all day." Glory bragged subtly. Jack didn't take Deuce's word lightly and spun his head to him.

"Oi! I can still beat her in a race!" Jack barks.

"Though..." Soon Jack blushed and strokes his head.

"You did good, Wildcat..." He mutters with a blush as Glory giggles and pats his head.

"Thanks Jack." Glory replies with a bright smile as she caught the wolf off guard when his ears perked up before shakes his head to brushed her off.

"Oi, don't do that here! We're in public!" Jack snaps with a flustered look not liking the head pat that she gave him, but his tail wagging gives it away. Which Glory knows and smiles trying not to chuckle at his adorable tail wagging from her head pat.

"~fufu~ Your tail says it otherwise." Jade points out with a taunting grin and soon the group freaked out as they all turned to see the composed eel.

"You!" Jack snarls upon seeing the Leech twins sauntering towards them.

"Ack! It's the Leech twins!" Grim shrieks and hides behind Glory's leg.

"Annnnd here comes the eels." Ace sarcastically stated.

"Kingyo-chan! Lionfish!!" Floyd chirps flinching the redhead and ravenette.

"Oh no!" He utters as he saw the eel attempting to tackle both of them.

"Here we go again." Glory mutters with her eyes rolled, knowing he would tackle her, but not this time. Riddle quickly grabs her hand and pulls her away from Floyd shocking her, but wasn't expect her have her heart beating.

What? Now my heart is beating for Riddle?!

Glory thought with a puzzled look. Soon Floyd spun his head to them.

"Eeh? Kingyo-chan pulled Lionfish away! No fair!!" Floyd grouse with a pout.

"Your cuddles are suffocating to bare!" Riddle retorts while holding her wrist.

"But I wanna cuddle!!!" The poor eel whines like a child making Glory sighs and gingerly yanks her arm from Riddle's grip. She saunters to Floyd and gave him a hug surprising him.

"Happy?" Glory asks and Floyd's immediately perks a huge smile as the eel wraps his arms around Glory not caring if she has sweat all over her body.

"Ah~ Lionfish didn't bare her thorns at me! Yay!!" Floyd cheers hugging her like a child. Glory then pulls apart from him. Jade then chuckles.

"~fufu~ Surely, you don't want him to squeeze you now would you?" He snarks with a smile. Glory is unfazed and rolls her eyes.

"Says the one who enjoys watching his brother squeezing the hell out of them." Glory quips back.

"Oya. My bad." Jade apologies while smiling not-so-innocently, yet his sneer still lingers.

"Riiight. Anyways like the others said, you did excellent back there, Bunny. Well done." Riddle compliments with a smile and she smiles back while blushing a bit.

"Thanks." She replies with a smile.

I'm still blushing over him! Wtf!?

Glory thought panicking.

"Right? She's very quick on her feet!!" Kalim chirps.

"Oh? You've went already?"

Soon they spun their heads to see Jamil and Iman sauntering them.

"Aah! Jamil! Iman! You guys finished work?" Kalim asks curiously.

"Yeah. It was a hassle cuz this morning all of us tried to get the rocks out of our dorm...yet we barely got part of them out." Iman explains.

"Hmph. Overbloting is bad enough, but we all have to break the rocks that you summoned at the lounge." Jamil snorts making Glory sweatdrop and biting her lower lip with a grimace.

"Yeah, sorry guys. I'll come by at your dorm to help you with the rocks after gym to make up the damage I caused..." Glory reassures.

"Oh yeah! Merlin told me that you can do that and you're Twisted Wonderland's future qu-! Mph!?"

With no hesitation, Glory, Grim, Riddle, Ace, Jack, Ruggie, Iman, and Jamil went over and cover Kalim's mouth.

"Pssst Kalim! You can't say it here!" Glory yelps.

"Kalim, do you even remembered what Merlin-sensei said to us two nights ago?" Jamil reminds him.

"Yeah! You do want us to get our ass kicked by Merlin-sensei!?" Deuce bellows.

"Agreed! I don't want to deal with that old man's rage!" Grim screeches.

"It's best if we shut our mouths before we all get ass whooped by a powerful small wizard like him." Ruggie calmly stated.

"What he said." Jack agreed.

"Oh! Right! Sorry sorry! I forgot that he did!" Kalim chirps causing Jamil to let out a groan feeling the urge of wanting to slam his head against the wall for his naivety.

"Wait, all of you guys knew?!" Riddle shrieks.

"Yeah. Jamil had an overblot breakdown during winter break and...I brought him back with you-know-what." Glory explained.

"Is that all?" Riddle asks curiously not surprised when she explained it to him since he remembered she healed him with her unique magic during his overblot state. Glory bobs her head at him.

"That's all." Glory replies.

"Yeah and heheh...that was really something." Iman chuckles. Glory sighs and turns back to Jamil.

"Regardless, I will come by to your dorm to get rid of the gold rocks that I summoned two days ago after I take a shower as an apology for wrecking your lounge." Glory reassures and Jamil nods at her.

"That would be nice, thank you Glo-san. I'll make sure that I'll repay you for the hard work." Jamil said with a small smile, but Glory shakes her head at him.

"No need. I was the one that summoned the gold rocks so there's-."

"No, I want too." Jamil bluntly insists before darting his eyes away from her with a tint blush crept from his cheeks.

"...It's the best thing I could do, so...Just let me do it." Jamil politely pleaded triggering the envy gaze from the boys including Kalim who felt a sting from his chest.

This weird feeling is coming back again?...

Kalim thought with a baffled look. Iman noticed his gaze and smiled subtly at him. Glory blinks her eyes twice from his words before forming a gentle smile.

"Alright..." She replies smiling gently causing Jamil to avert his eyes while slightly blushing.

"Yeah..." He mutters trying not to blush in front of everyone.
