At the courtyard, Glory and Epel sat down at the bench where the ravenette pulls out a water bottle from her bag and hands it to the lavender haired first year.

"You can drink this. I have an extra in my bag." Glory told him and the fragile boy nodded and grabs the bottle.

"T-Thank you." He stutters as he turns the cap of the bottle and opens where he drink a dose of water. Then he puts the bottle down and sighs.

"...I'm sorry." He muttered.

"Hm?" Glory looked at him confusingly.

"I'm sorry for how acted back there this morning. I didn't mean to run off like that. I was...I was...!" Epel utters but soon paused his words while lightly trembles with stress feeling overwhelmed from his rough training with his dorm leader. Glory noticed the pained look on his face and with motherly instincts activated, the ravenette scoots over to the shaken boy where she gently lays her hand on her head causing him to glance up at him.

"Easy there, bud. Just take deep breaths before you explain. A friend of mine told me it helps." She reassured.

"Uh..o-okay...." He muttered bobbing his head as the fragile boy did what she told and deeply breathe.

"Now gently breathe out." She instructs and he carefully exhales the air out of his lungs with Glory gently stroking his back acting like a caring mother to the fragile first year student.

"Better?" Glory asked and he bobs his head lightly.

"K-Kinda yeah...thank you." He murmured still tense. Not wanting to put pressure on the poor boy by asking personal questions, Glory tilts her head a little to the left.

"Epel isn't? Pardon me for asking, but long were singing for?" Glory asked curiously as she watched the distressed first year twiddling his fingers while giving him time for him to respond until she heard a nervous swallow from him.

"For ten minutes..."

"Ten minutes?" Glory creases her brows and he lightly bobs his head.

"Y-Yes...My dorm leader told me to practice singing two hours..." He replied as Epel spun his head to the compassionate ravenette.

"You're Glory-chan, right?... The healer?" Epel guessed looking at her curiously and Glory nods at him.

"I am, and from what I've heard, I'm assuming that you're competing for this year's Vocal and Dance Championship?" Glory assumed and Epel nodded shyly.

"Y..Yes...though I don't really managed the singing part well." He mumbles when Glory noticed Epel biting his lower lip with his brows creasing together and his hands intertwined.

"...Why does this sh#t even exist?" Epel muttered but paused and immediately covered his mouth when he slipped out a cuss word that caught Glory off guard. Embarrassed, Epel bows his head down to her.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't to cuss and make you uncomfortable...!" He apologized, but Glory wasn't offended and stares at him with a baffled expression.

"Why would be uncomfortable with you cussing? I'm fine with you cussing." Glory reassured shocking the freshman year.

"Eeh?" Epel stares at her with shock written all over his face.

"Most importantly, you don't want to compete in the championship do you?" Glory guesses with Epel sighing and lightly shaking his head.

"No...Vil want me to do it." Epel said.

"So he's forcing you to compete in what reason?" Glory asked curiously as Epel clasped his hands together.

"...Vil expects me to sing perfectly for the championship, but I'm just a beginner. I don't sing, I don't dance, and I don't do anything like the ones from my dorm does. However I have a reason why I'm doing this." Epel assured. Puzzled yet felt unsettled by his situation, Glory creased her brows.

"And what would that be?" She asked again.

"For-."

"Epel."

Soon Epel flinched and hunched his shoulders from the stern voice from a voice of a stern man. Recognized his voice, Glory subtly whips her head to see the infamous dorm leader from Pomefiore standing before them. As he stands before them, Vil darts his eyes and noticed Glory sitting next to the nervous first year student. With an instant, Vil furrowed his brows and marched over to them.

"We meet again, Gloriane. You're wearing the school uniform this time, great. I was wondering when the headmaster is going to provide you a proper uniform. As expected from Night Raven's only girl aka "Goddess", your beauty is exquisite just like in Magicam..." Vil compliments, but Glory could hear the bitterness from his tone as he gritted his teeth.

"Is your speech okay? Because it sounded like that a cat got your tongue. I wonder why exactly?" Glory sarcastically implied while smiling innocently at him while deep down she's aware that Vil's jealousy. Epel became shock by her direct words and darts his eyes back to his dorm leader who creased his brows at her before letting out a huff.

"Well I hate to interrupt your "little" conversation, but I'm taking my little Apple back to our lessons. As you don't know, I am training Epel for this year's Vocal and Dance championship and I will not afford to lose this year." Vil proclaimed with Glory perking a smile at him.

"Understandable, but I would not push him too far if I were you; especially when this Apple isn't at least thrilled of participating this event next weekend." Glory advised, but he snorts at her advice.

"Don't be a fool. Epel will be fine once I trained him into the perfect apple he is. So this shouldn't be your business, Corbett." Vil bluntly informed ticking the ravenette when she squints her eyes as the way he acts reminded her of her rival, Victoria.

~~~~~

Four years ago in freshman year, a young girl with braids bends down and panting heavily from running. However, the girl was met with insults by infamously rich popular girl, Victoria Dubois.

"Oh cmon, that wasn't even a run!" The strawberry blonde ringleader with turquoise orbs sneers.

"Huh?" The light brunette glance up at the megabitch alpha queen with her two posses.

"E-Eeh? Victoria, Heather, and Chloe?" She stuttered with a shock look.

"Jeez. You seen her jog right? She looks like a duckling taking it's first baby steps." The light skinned ginger whose hair curled into a braided ponytail with hazel eyes named Heather Gale mocks.

"An ugly duckling." The lavender haired girl with pink streaks and ebony eyes named Chloe Hirsch jeers with a cruel smile as the trio sniggered with the dirty blonde haired girl with braids sunk her head averting her eyes down to the ground feeling embarrassed until....

"Hey! Knock it off!!"

Soon a loud shout boomed through the field when they all spun their heads to see Glory with long wavy raven hair marching towards them along with her two besties, Harriet and Zara.

"Oh great~. It's the Suckers Trio." Chloe sarcastically snarks, but Victoria placed a hand over her posse gal as they watched them approaching their clique.

"Well who decided to be hero again." Victoria sarcastically praised with a side smile. Glory wasn't fazed by her sarcasm and rolled her eyes.

"I'm not. Coach Smith will caught you bullying Quinn again, and if that happens, your ass will be send to detention." Glory warns, but she didn't care and roll her eyes.

"So what? My dad gets me out of trouble all the time so it won't be too big of a deal." Victoria snorts causing Glory's pink haired friend to curl her brows.

"Seriously? Don't you guys have anything else to do besides picking on people?" Zara asks dryly with a deadpan look.

"What's it to you, foreyes?" Heather spat causing Glory's brunette bestie to snap.

"Hey! Don't call her that, b*tch-ass Iggy Azalea wannabe!!" Harriet hisses with a scowl.

"You wanna go?!" The ginger growls as the two hotheads about to brawl, but Victoria and Zara quickly grabs their arm to prevent chaos that was about to unfold.

"No." They bluntly ceased in which both girls huffed and turned their feet around while sticking their noses up in the air. Glory sighs and pinched her temple at Harriet's usual temper before glancing back at her rival.

"Listen Vic. Just leave Quinn alone and get the f#*k out of here UNLESS you want me to boxed ya out if you don't leave right now." Glory threatened with grey orbs gleam with menace. Victoria scoffs and flips her strawberry blonde strands.

"Whatever, Corbett. I'm not in the mood anyway." She grumbles causing her friends to be baffled.

"Wait what?" Chloe utters looking dumbfounded.

"Are you kidding me, Vicky?" Heather asks with disbelief in her eyes. Victoria turned to them scowling at the two gals.

"Did I stuttered? I said I'm not in the mood. The fun has died. Let's get out of here." Victoria grouse as she sashays passed Glory and her besties.

"Ugh, killjoys." Heather groans while strolling passed them.

"Losers." Chloe scorns with the pink haired bespectacled girl scowls back and didn't hold back her roast.

"You're the losers." Zara snaps back with Chloe whipping her head with a huff as she watched them saunter away, all of them sighed and groaned.

"Tch. Bunch of b*tch ass hoes." Harriet cusses with a scowl and Zara let's out a groan.

"Leave 'em, Harriet. They're not worth our time." Zara comforts her patting her back.

"Like my mom said, "You don't take sh#t from idiots."." Glory reminded with an annoyed look. Then the three went over to Quinn where the dirty brunette smiled meekly at them.

"Thanks guys." She said smiling fondly as they smiled back.

"No probs, Quinn." Zara replied with a calm smile.

"Bruh, why were you standin' there? You should fight back and say what ya want. If not, they'll kept bully ya and you won't win!" Harriet advised with her arms folded. Quinn nodded meekly while twiddling her thumbs.

"I-I try...thank you again..." She muttered. Glory then lays a hand on her shoulder with a warm smile.

"Listen don't let Vic and the girls get to you. They were just trying to get you to crack, and you're not letting it happened. So don't feel bad about yourself and do what you love to do, kay?" She reassured beaming her sweetly and she nods softly.

"Alright...thank you, Glo..." Quinn replied with a meek smile.

~~~~~~

While looking back at her multiple encounters with Victoria during her high school years, Glory clench her fists and darts her grey orbs at Vil.

"Perhaps you don't remembered what I said to you back at the Mirror Chamber during our meeting." Glory said as she hopped out of the bench where the ravenette saunters to the tall blonde dorm head until she went over and stick her neck to him so she would lock eyes with the harsh dorm leader.

"Listen Vil. It's fine that you're training them for the Vocal and Dance Championship, but placing pressure on them won't do them any good. Cuz not all glitter is gold." Glory reassures reminding him of their second encounter at the Mirror Chambers.

"Hmph. For a beautiful maiden like yourself, you sure have a mouth." Vil snarks. Glory smirks at him.

"Everyone has a mouth, everyone has beauty, but we also have flaws that made us human too." Glory reassured with a bold smile leaving Epel's eyes gleam with admiration for the ravenette making Vil squint his eyes at the brazen ravenette for a minute before huffing and turning his heels away from her.

"Epel, we're leaving." Vil reminded as he struts off.

"H-Hai..." He stutters and stands up from the bench where she sprints to his dorm leader before he spun his head to Glory with round fragile aqua blue eyes that gleams "reluctant submissive" before turning away to catch up with his dorm leader.

Once they left, Glory stood there sympathizing the poor fragile first year student.

Next week's the Vocal and Dance championship...

She thought as she grips her fists tight.

Which means Vil is in trouble, but the main question is when will he ever overblot?...

Glory pondered for a minute before letting out a sigh.

Either way, I better head back to the photos and take them back to the club.

She thought, but as soon as Glory turns around, the ravenette widened her eyes to see her camera vanished from the bench.

"What the-?"

Alarmed, Glory ran to the bench looking from behind and under the bench as she stands up and placed a her hand to her lip.

Damnit... I should've hold placed my camera in my backpack! Where the hell did my camera go?

She ponders. Soon Glory freeze and grew pale when she felt something crawling from the back of her neck. Knowing what's crawling on her, her spider phobia triggered.

"GAAAH!!" Glory shrieked and covers her neck while trying to smack the eight legged arachnid off of her. Suddenly a kittenish laughter caught her off guard.

Son of a b*tch...!

Glory thought as she spun her heels and saw the mischievous purple cat reappearing before her while laughing his ass off.

"Your reaction is so purrfect~!" Che'nya purred as he pulls out Glory's camera from his back.

"You should be murre carefuul on where you're leaving your stuff, Sundrop-chan.~" He teased irking the ravenette.

"Damnit Che'nya! You know I have arachnophobia and give me back my camera!" Glory demanded as she reached her arm out, but Che'nya lifts the camera up to his head making her out of reach.

"Gah! I mean it, Che'nya! I need that for my club!" Glory chided with the cat snickering.

"First you have to catch me-ow first~! Good luck!" He said fleeing from the spot enraging her more.

"Grrr!!! Che'nya get back here!!" Glory shouts as grabs her backpack and chased after the sly cat.

Elsewhere at the courtyard, young fellow huntsman Room Hunt was hiding behind the tree watching his nymph chasing after Che'nya.

"Mmm~. Brazen yet beautiful as ever, my sweet Magnifique Nymphe." Rook praised as he turns away and tilts the brim of his hat with a grin.

"Till we meet again, mon amour~." He purred as the huntsman saunters through the bushes vowing to meet the mysteriously beautiful ravenette.

~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile at the infirmary, Merlin was on his desk watching his student chasing after Che'nya through his crystal ball as he lightly shook his head and sighed while patting the sleepy Grim.

"My my, mischievous as always." He remarked.

"But..."

Then the tiny wizard wipes the crystal ball where the vision swirls inside the ball until it switched to Rook. Soon, Merlin's lips forms a straight line humming softly with a skeptical look.

"I have a bad feeling about this...." Merlin muttered feeling like this day is going to get worst for his poor young Sundrop.
