Cater  |
Ugh… I just can’t get this memorized! | |
Trey  |
Oi oi, Cater. Where did your usual smarts go? | |
Cater |
That's easy for you to say, Trey.
People have things they can do and things they can’t… | |
Trey |
If you fail next week's written exam in practical magic, it could put your final grade in danger, right? | |
Cater |
Right! I seriously have to drill this spell into my head somehow… | |
Trey |
Don’t say that while you’re opening Magicam on your phone. | |
Cater |
I just don’t have any motivation…
But I’m able to remember things that get uploaded to Magicam… Like the long menu names from trendy cafés, or the dates that cute clothes go on sale… | |
Riddle  |
Why are you both frowning? | |
Trey |
Oh, Riddle. Right now I’m helping Cater study for his magic test. He’s close to failing. | |
Riddle |
…He’s close to what? | |
Cater |
Hold on a sec, Trey! You didn’t have to tell him that! | |
Trey |
Practical magic is a required course, so if you fail it here, I just don’t think you’ll be able to pass this year. | |
Riddle |
Cater. Are your grades so poor that you might not even pass this year?
The only thing that should be red in this dormitory are the roses! It’ll be off with your head for all the red marks you’ve gotten! | |
Cater |
N-No, no! This is the only thing I’m really bad at! I’ve never gotten red marks in any of my other classes! | |
Riddle |
Failing something in even one of your classes should give you a sense of impending doom.
So? What are you struggling with? | |
Cater |
“Auto-Cleaning Using Enchanted Supplies”… | |
Riddle |
Auto-cleaning… You mean using magic to make brushes and rags do the cleaning for you.
I’m still a second-year, so I haven’t learned that lesson yet. But if it’s just the spell you need, I’ve read a book on it. | |
Cater |
I’m having trouble with this “auto” part. The composition of this spell is almost like programming a machine.
It won’t work if I don’t follow the formula exactly, but… I just can’t memorize it… | |
Trey |
That brings up a good point. You should avoid using any breakable objects with this magic, and be careful on the carpet…
Since you’ll have to cast that magic on the cleaning supplies beforehand. | |
Riddle |
Cater’s Unique Magic allows him to clone himself, right?
If you’ve mastered magic that complex, how are you having trouble with this? | |
Cater |
Well… I’m great at thinking of lots of things all at once, but I’m not that good at envisioning outcomes, or planning things out… | |
Riddle |
So what you’re saying is… You’re smart, but you don’t put in any effort. I see.
Very well. Then I will teach you how to study. | |
Cater |
What, seriously!? | |
Trey |
But this is third-year level work. Is this really alright? | |
Riddle |
Who do you think you’re speaking to? I’m the dorm leader of Heartslabyul.
Having the ability to fix all students’ problems regardless of grade level was one of the first qualifications of becoming dorm leader. Ever since I took that role, no one has repeated a year or dropped out. And as long as I’m in this position, there will be absolutely no failures in my dorm! Just leave everything to me. I'll make sure Cater gets a high score, guaranteed. | |

| Library | ||
Deuce  |
Um, the shelf that had alchemy grimoires was this one, right…? | |
Riddle  |
First we should use floating magic as a base… No, it’d be better to implement the transparency magic first.
A book further detailing the spell would be——Ah! | |
| (Riddle bumps into someone; all his books come crashing down) | ||
Deuce |
Ah! | |
Riddle |
Ouch… I apologize, I wasn't paying attention. | |
Deuce |
Dorm Leader Rosehearts! I’m so sorry! | |
Riddle |
Ah, look who it is. Deuce. | |
Deuce |
I’ll help you pick up the books… Wait, you’re planning on reading all of these? | |
Riddle |
Yes. Is there a problem? | |
Deuce |
You have at least twenty grimoires here, and they’re all big and seem complicated… | |
Riddle |
These are the materials I need so I can compile a test prep notebook for Cater.
Solving student problems is one of the duties of being dorm leader. | |
Deuce |
A-As expected of our dorm leader…! You have my respect.
The only thing I can help you with is carrying things for you… but, I will at least bring them to your desk. | |
Riddle |
Thank you. You’re a big help.
Good. If I just summarize all of these grimoires, he should do perfect on his test. I’m looking forward to handing him the finished product. | |

Riddle |
Don’t take another step, Cater!
Why is it so hard for you to memorize just 300 pages of text?! OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!! | |
Cater |
It takes longer than one or two days to memorize 300 pages!
Plus, everything’s written so tiny and squished together, and it’s on A4-sized paper! Stop yelling so angrily with your face that red! | |
Trey |
Now, now, Riddle. Let’s calm down a little. | |
Riddle |
Hah… Y-You’re right. Sorry for that.
——Ahem. Alright, Cater? This test prep notebook I compiled for you is designed to counter any questions you might have. It has the basics, advanced concepts, and trick questions… If you memorize just these 300 pages, you’ll be able to understand all of that. So stop thinking about how hard it is and just memorize this text! | |
Cater |
I know you worked really hard to make this, and I want to memorize everything too.
But every time I open the text, whenever I get to page 3 I just get tired all of a sudden… | |
Riddle |
Page 3, you said?
So you’ve only read up to the table of contents?! You’re just asking to have your head roll!! | |
Trey |
R-Riddle. I understand how you feel, but come on now… | |
Riddle |
Nngh…!! | |
Trey |
And Cater. If this is putting you to sleep, then start reading out loud. Put some effort into getting this memorized.
Our busy dorm leader went through the trouble of making this just for you, after all. | |
Cater |
That’s true. Yeah. Sorry…
——Alright. I have one week till my test, so from now on I’ll seriously try to study! | |
Riddle |
Hmph. If you had me do this much for you and still end up failing…
It really will be off with your head. Keep that in mind! | |
Cater |
I-I’ll do my best.
I’ll make a post of my plans on Magicam, and then take a break from it for a little bit. First let’s take a picture of the test prep notebook Riddle made… Here. | |
| Snap! | ||
Cater |
#TestStudyTime #300PagesofText #HandmadebyRiddle #TakingItSeriousNow #NoDozingOff
Posted~! Alright, I’ll go back to my room and start studying. Thank you, you two. | |
| (Cater leaves) | ||
Riddle |
Honestly. That drives me crazy about Cater.
He’s only ever looking at Magicam like that and forgets about studying. | |
Trey |
I’m sure you can understand the feeling of trying to get out of doing something you don’t want to do. | |
Riddle |
That doesn’t mean it’s okay for students not to study. | |
Trey |
That’s true…
…Do you have any foods you don’t like, Riddle? | |
Riddle |
Hah? That’s so random.
But if I had to answer… I guess I wouldn’t want to eat anything that’s bad for you, or anything with too much seasoning. | |
Trey |
What if you had to eat every last bite of something with heavy seasoning, no matter what…
How would you eat it? | |
Riddle |
Hmm. I’d figure out a way to make it just a little easier to eat.
Like adding hot water to dilute the flavor, or eating it in portions with sides like bread or rice. Or also maybe eat it with something I like… …………..AH! ——I see. That’s what’s going on! In that case, Cater would definitely….! | |
Trey |
What happened, Riddle? | |
Riddle |
Trey, there’s something I want you to show me. | |
| ||
| Heartslabyul Dorm - Rose Maze | ||
Cater  |
*yawns*… I’m tired…
I seriously just can’t go on without Magicam… Alright, forget I made that rule. Morning Magicam check~! | |
Riddle |
You have a big mouth, Cater, just like the walrus who stuffed his face with oysters. | |
Cater |
Ah, Riddle! M-Morning~ You look totes cute like always today!
Oh, th-this is not what you think! I wasn’t looking at Magicam or anything… | |
Riddle |
Ah, speaking of Magicam…
I made an account yesterday too. | |
Cater |
Oh….. HUH!?!?
You started a Magicam?! | |
Riddle |
What’s with that reaction?
Should I not have a Magicam? | |
Cater |
No, it’s not that! It’s just, you’ve always said you “weren’t interested” and never made an account, so that surprised me. | |
Riddle |
Hm. I just happened to feel like making one.
And I thought I’d come ask for your ID. | |
Cater |
For sure, let’s add each other! I’m super excited to see the pics you upload~☆ | |
Riddle |
Hehe. Be sure to check everyday so you don’t miss anything. | |
| ||
| Classroom | ||
| Ding~♪ | ||
Cater |
Oh, Riddle posted on Magicam! Let’s see~
I wonder what kind of picture he posted~♪ ——Huh? What’s this? Is this… a picture of a broom? | |
Riddle Riddle  |
#FirstOfAll #TouchAllFourCornersOfYourRoomWithTheBroom #WhileCastingTheSpell #FloatingMagic #SageAndSalt | |
Cater |
Haha, he put some weird tags. It’s like he’s not familiar with it yet; it’s cute~! | |
| ||
| Heartslabyul Dorm - Cater's Room | ||
| Ding~♪ | ||
Cater |
Riddle uploaded something to Magicam again. This time… a towel? Err, no, this is…
A rag! Why would he upload a picture of a rag? I wish he’d post more attractive pics, like selfies or aesthetic lunches. | |
Riddle Riddle |
#AfterTheBroom #PutMagicStoneInWaterBucket #5DropsOfPurificationPotion #KeepWaterTempBelow20Degrees #ExtremelyImportant! | |
Cater |
Wait?? Don’t tell me, these tags… | |
| ||
| Heartslabyul Dorm - Riddle's Room | ||
Riddle |
Next is the spell to brush the carpet.
I’ll take a picture of the scrub brush… umm, what tags should I put? “#WaterMagic #FireplaceAshes #SilverApple” and then… also… This should be good. …There, it’s posted. Oh. Cater immediately liked it. It looks like his account is showing progress of his studying today as well. I’ll leave a like. …Good. | |
|

| ——A few days later | ||
Cater |
Riddle!! Trey!! | |
Riddle |
Cater. How were the results on your magic test? | |
Cater |
Tada, take a look! I got an 85 on the written portion, and an A on the practical portion! | |
Riddle |
That’s great!! …….*coughs*. | |
Trey |
Good for you, Cater. | |
Cater |
Now I won’t have to repeat a year! Thank you, Riddle, I mean it! | |
Riddle |
Hmph. I gave you thorough instruction. This was the obvious result. | |
Trey |
I was surprised when Riddle suddenly asked me to show him how to make a Magicam account…
I never would’ve imagined he’d use pictures and tags to teach Cater spells. | |
Cater |
Well, that seriously was a genius idea!
The spell hashtags on Riddle’s account were super, super, super cool! When I was frantically trying to study from that notebook, it put me straight to sleep, but these I memorized no problem! Next time, I’ll take you to a Magicam-worthy pancake café as thanks ♡ | |
Riddle |
God, you really are a sweet talker… But there won’t be a next time.
Because if you ever get close to failing a required course again, it really will be off with your head! | |
Cater |
I know, I know ♪ I’ll work hard from now on! | |
Riddle |
Good answer. Now, to get started… | |
| ||
| Bam! | ||
Cater |
Ggah, what’s with all these books? | |
Riddle |
This is just the beginning. Go through all of these to get ready for your next test! | |
Cater |
What?! Are you serious? | |
Riddle |
Didn’t I tell you? As long as I am dorm leader…
There will be absolutely no failures in Heartslabyul! | |
