༻᯽༺
Y/N turned out to be an odd student from Night Raven College. She never returned to where she came from, so she stayed and became a student that was fated to be in the Heartslabyul dorm. The kinds of magic that she uses other than her portals are impressive, to say the least. Her unique magic isn't the portals she makes, but rather something that has to do with one's soul.
Despite being able to travel from world to world, she never looked back at her old home ever again. It was terrible there— her family never cared about her except her mother, who had used magic before too. She had passed on already, unfortunately. But her mother's death shaped her chosen path, and it's to study more of magic and more of the worlds that could exist.
One day, Y/N was yet again in a foreign world outside the Twisted Wonderland, and she had just finished helping a person with their research of some sort. She helped them with providing the materials and the like. The person was kind enough to offer her tea as thanks, but suddenly...
Something went off in her mind and it felt like someone pushing the fire alarm.
"I'm sorry. Something came up. I have to go now." Y/N stood up from her seat and ran somewhere else to forbid anyone outside the Twisted Wonderland to see her using magic, as it would raise lots of questions.
"O-oh! Alright, thank you so much for the help!" The person that she assisted for her errand called out to her, only for their voice to drown out in her ears due to how fast she's running.
She quietly sighed to herself, "You're welcome.." and proceeded to stop in her tracks once she was in some sort of a foreign forest.
I'm coming, Riddle. Hang tight.
She casts a portal that directly leads her back to Night Raven College and proceeded to jump in it.
With a swift landing, luckily she had teleported a few walks away from the Heartslabyul garden maze, where she had sensed the danger from. She knows the paths of the garden like the back of her hand for so long and arrived at the scene in time.
Three newcomers... Headmaster Crowley, Trey, and Cater... Riddle's form...
Without hesitation, she called out to his name.
"RIDDLE!"
His ears recognized her voice and whipped his head to face her. Her magic pen was gripped tightly in her hand, with a look of worry on her face.
"Y/N...?" Riddle's distorted voice silently whispers back.
Thanks to her presence, Trey and the others were able to incapacitate him while his guard was down. He suddenly fell unconscious.
Marching towards the redhead to cradle him for a while until he wakes up, she then said in a stern tone:
"Now, can someone tell me who the hell pissed him off?"
Her aura was.. intimidating. Maybe much more than Riddle's.
Grim and Ace were terrified to the core (Cater as well but he didn't start this in the first place after all). Deuce was too, but he dared to speak somehow. "It was us, new students... Me, Grim, and Ace." Trey was also standing near her, accompanying Riddle just in case.
They're really new, huh... It can't be helped... I could understand why. Y/N's inside voice began to speak.
"Can I speak with you three after this ordeal has been dealt with?" Her stern voice remained, glaring daggers at the new students, but also hinted a look in their eyes. Something like she's telling that she's not mad at them, despite her voice sounding otherwise.
The new students straightened their posture, "Y-yes! Ma'am... um.." Ace complied, but due to not knowing her name yet, he just ends up blabbering.
"It's Y/N. I guess you could say I take care of the entire dorm if Riddle or Trey isn't available at the moment." She introduced herself, while she still holds the redhead.
Her sight suddenly focusing on both Trey and Cater, she also began, "By the way, are you two free later? I was going to ask you both a favor to join the meeting I planned with these rookies just now, but if you guys have a period in the next few hours, it's alright."
Trey raised his brow for a second but immediately got the reason why he and Cater were needed.
"Yeah, it's okay~ We're happy to accompany you later since we don't have any classes these next hours." Cater casually announced with his phone in hand, probably to check his and Trey's schedules for the day.
Headmaster Crowley suddenly spoke up, "If you'd all like, I can excuse you from any of your periods today. This matter that Y/N is talking about seems to be quite important to her." Which suddenly raised confusion for Y/N.
"But Headmaster, I promise it wouldn't take too long, why excuse the 7 of us involved in this occasion?" She objected, hoping to not disturb the new students' academic performances just because of something she'll say as some sort of reminder...
He then laughed wholeheartedly, "Because I'm so kind! I will gladly become considerate for my students at times."
Ah. I should've known. Classic Headmaster Crowley.
All of a sudden, a gasp escaped from Riddle's lips, as he had regained consciousness.
Y/N almost got startled by him, but then immediately tried to comfort him while she helped him sit up.
"Hey, hey, hey, Riddle... It's okay. Breathe. In, and out. Everything's fine. We're fine. I'm here."
She held and squeezed his hands in her own, as a way to guide him back to reality.
After successfully calming down, Riddle tackles her in a hug and bursts into tears.
"I'm sorry...! I'm so sorry..." He cried out, all while blabbering how he would've wanted to eat the mont blanc that the new students brought for the supposed Unbirthday Party that happened a few days ago (It was unfortunate that Y/N wasn't present at that day due to her still doing errands from another world).
"Y/N, kindly take and accompany Rosehearts to the infirmary. Keep an eye on him and let him rest." The Headmaster ordered, and she nodded as she wraps her arm around Riddle, while holding one of his arms around her neck.
"I'll let you guys know when it's time for the meeting." Everyone nodded and proceeded to start talking about cleaning the garden maze area.
