A Twisted Hero

Four

The next day came soon enough. I dressed in my school uniform since Ramshackle didn't have an official dorm uniform.

So here I was heading to Heartslabyul dorm with Ace, Deuce, Levi, and Grimm. All the while Deuce was reminding Ace,"look...just be polite give Riddle the Tart and no more collar"

"I know we've been over this a thousand times,"

"Just hope that Riddle is in a better mood today"

"You made it!" Said one of six Carter clones that ran up to us," Riddle collared almost half the dorm yesterday. So we're behind on preparations. Even with my unique magic split card we're cutting it close. So any extra hands would be helpful!"

It was weird to see each one of Carter's clones talking only one sentence.

"Actually your a life saver could you fill in for rose painting it'll free up more people into doing table set up," a Carter clone said

I did a quick copy color spell turning all of the white roses red in seconds. That done I continued to help where I could. We eventually finished with ten minutes to spare. I had to give props to Trey as he used his magic to change Ace, Deuce, and my clothes into Heartslabyul dorm uniforms.

Then the trumpets sounded...it was time to begin.

After a very oddball ritual the party went smoothly... at first. It changed when Ace presented the tart to Riddle...

"How dare you destroy it at once it's a violation of rule 534 no chestnut tarts at an unbirthday party!" Riddle shouted

"But the recipe was given to Ace by Trey and Carter the organizers and two thirds of the hosts of this unbirthday party so host rules overrules dorm rules, " I said under my breath knowing etiquette. I elbowed Trey to interfere.

"Help them your part of the hosts slash organizers of this unbirthday party along with Carter say something, " I hissed

"Like what?"

"Objection as one of the hosts of this party I gave him the chestnut tart recipe as the one to bring as a replacement. What else?!?" I hissed

Trey tried to say what I told him but fumbled and Deuce, and Grimm got collared by Riddle who afterwards blasted the tart but before it could fall I snapped my fingers and used my magic to catch the tart before it fell to the ground.

"You three okay?" I asked approaching the scene grabbing the tart from where my time pause spell had caught it before it hit the ground.

"Yeah thanks," Deuce said as he tugged at the heart shaped collar around his neck.

"As for you," I said turning on Riddle," Ace asked Trey and Carter the other two thirds of the host and organization team about the kind of tart to make as a replacement for the tart he ate. It was a chestnut tart so mind explaining why you're following dorm rules but not host rules by ignoring your fellow hosts?" I asked him

Riddle gaped at me like a fish his face red with anger. "How dare you question me!"

"I'm not all I did was state a fact," I said before helping Ace and Deuce to their feet.

"We'll be leaving now...enjoy yourselves in your kingdom looking down from on high," I said taking the three away before anything else could happen.
