Riddle angrily asks Ace how insane he is. Cater tries to change the subject by complimenting Riddle but fails and gets threatened to be collared as well. Riddle complains to the headmaster for being too lenient and believes if this continues, the school will come crashing down. If he were in charge, he would deal with the issue and behead everyone who defied him. When Ace notices Riddle's attitude and remarks on how it doesn't match his face, Riddle overhears him and grabs him by the collar. Riddle tells Ace that he was going to remove the collar if he has learned his lesson, but he changed his mind and lets him keep it on a little longer. He reassures Ace that he won't be able to use magic to cause another accident since the first year semester classes are more lecture-oriented than putting magic into practice. He orders Ace and Deuce to hurry and get ready for their next class, informing them of one of the Queen of Hearts' rules, "One should leave their seat within 15 minutes of finishing their lunch." and he expects them to follow the rules. As Ace complaints about another weird rule, Riddle demands their reply should be "Yes, dorm leader!" and both Ace and Deuce are forced to repeat their dorm leader's words. Trey informs Riddle that he will keep an eye on them. Riddle asks Trey if he is being soft on the newcomers and reminds Trey's role as vice-dorm leader and he should cease his chatter and gets his act together.

As Riddle leaves, he notices some students' misbehavior at the cafeteria (Ruggie drinking milk tea with two straws and Floyd sitting inappropriately with his leg sticking out). This infuriates Riddle, and he complains that the headmaster and Trey are too forgiving. He swears he will not tolerate further rule violations and show all students to the right path. A drop of ink begins to taint his magic gem.

After Riddle leaves, Yuuken overhears two unnamed students from Heartslabyul whispering to each other on how they are scared about what their dorm leader would do if they broke a rule, and they wished to have freedom regarding what they eat. When Ace explains that the rules are more important to Riddle than the students, Trey explains that Riddle became dorm leader less than a week after enrolling and he could be a little harsh at times, but he has the dorms best interest in mind and his intentions aren't bad. Grim rejects this notion and says people with good intentions shouldn't go around beheading other people. Yuuken reminds him about his rampaging at the ceremony and how it was his fault, which makes Grim very annoyed. Ace ponders buying a tart for Riddle until Cater reminds him that it has to be a full tart. He suggests Ace try to make one, and points out that Trey was the one who baked the strawberry tarts. This leaves Ace very surprised and he begs Trey to teach him how to make tarts, even trying to win him over by massaging his shoulders. Trey accepts, but he won't teach him for free. Ace asks Trey if he has to pay for it, but Trey replies that he won't rip off his underclassmen. Instead, he wants them to gather the chestnuts he will need to make mont blanc tarts. He'll need about 200-300 for the Unbirthday party.

Ace and the others arrive at the Botanical Garden to search for some chestnuts. They split up to look around, while Yuuken and Grim stay together to search for it further in the garden. Yuuken is amazed to see so many plants he has never seen before, then he stops Grim from eating a fruit he found. He decides to carry Grim around with him so that he won't run off again, and reminds him why they are there. As they continue the search for chestnuts, Yuuken accidentally steps on something. He hears a sound and assumes Grim made it, but he assures Yuuken that it wasn't him. Suddenly, they are approached by Leona, who isn't in a good mood because they interrupted his nap when he stepped on his tail. Yuuken apologizes for what he did, but Leona recognizes him from the ceremony as someone who can't use magic. He approaches Yuuken closer and smells him, confirming that he's not a magic user since he doesn't smell any magic on him. He's not into taking on helpless opponents, so he asks Yuuken if he's going to leave after what he did to him. Grim is frightened by Leona and Yuuken once again tries to apologize, since it was an accident. Leona rejects Yuuken's apology and thinks he's trying to bait him, and he tells him that he is pissed off for being woken up. In exchange, he thinks Yuuken should leave behind one of his teeth. This chapter ends with Leona about to kick Yuuken in the face.
