Happy smirked as he continued streaming what was happening. (Name) gave him a thumbs up for accomplishing such a risky goal, Carla and Lily nodded at him...

     "So you've finally shown who you are under that mask, myahh!" Grim exclaimed, pointing at the surprised Jamil. "Bet you're gonna throw a party since you're so slick and smart for being a wolf under sheep's clothing."

     "How much did you hear?" Jamil ordered.

     "Ever since earlier, from waking up to Kalim, the practice battles, and the conversation right now," Jade said with a sick smile. "It has been live-streamed via Azul's phone since earlier, in other words."

     "What?!"

     "Azul's live stream has at least 5 thousand active viewers," Happy told Jamil. "It's currently trending under the topic 'A Certain Magicians' school student's dirty secret'. It's your spotlight, Vice Dorm Leader Jamil. Everyone is watching you, including the students in Scarabia's lounge.

     "Vice Dorm Leader Jamil, is everything that happened true?"

     "Have you been deceiving us?!"

     Jamil smiled and shakes his head, trying to reach the students. (Name) pushed him away from them, "You don't have the right to convince them anymore, we have solid evidence, right here and right now, Jamil-san. The mind control magic, Snake Charmer? That's the very same magic you used with Kalim, Carla, and Azul. You've been mind-controlling him since to make Scarabia submit to chaos." She told him.

     "Talk about some snake who's acting nice to its prey to devour them," Carla said in disgust. Jamil scrunched his face in anger, "You leave me no choice. Since you can hurt me, why not try to hurt your little octopus friend? Azul, discard them all!" He ordered.

     "Yes, Master."

     "Azul, no," Jade said. "Snap out of it! I know you don't wanna hurt your friends!" Jamil, on the other hand, laughed, "Pleading won't work on him. He only obeys his Master, me!" He pointed to himself.

     Azul took his magical pen and pointed it at Jade, "Yes, I am Jamil's loyal servant... Or that's what he thinks I am." The dorm leader of Octavinelle pointed the magical pen to Jamil, threatening him. "You underestimated me, Jamil-san. Let me rephrase what you said to me, you're a disgrace as a Vice Dorm Leader of Scarabia—the embodiment of the Sorcerer of Sand's."

     "What's going on?!" Jamil yelled. "I know I kept eye contact with you!" He yelled at Azul. The octopus merely laughed at Jamil's state, "Oh, please. Do you think I'll fall for some pathetic trap? I'm a competent magician, I'm always ready. Isn't that right, Floyd?"

     "He's right. I think you let your guard down a little too soon, Sea Snake-chan~," a raspy, yet familiar voice appeared. Floyd appeared, but his voice is different. It scared almost everyone except Azul.

     "WHAT'S WITH YOUR VOICE?!" The cats exclaimed in fear. "I signed a contract with Azul and as a bargain, I got this deep voice for now. Whaddya think? Do I sound cool and intimidating now?"

     "Yes, it matched your height and the way you act. You remind me of Uncle Loke," (Name) stated. "Did you offer your magic as collateral?"

     "Correct, (Name)," Azul declared. "Floyd's magic is very useful and I have no desire to tell it to anyone. A secret is kept to be a secret, after all, you never know who's watching behind the live stream. Of course, I managed to trick you by acting as if you cursed me. I'm very impressed by your unique magic, Jamil-san."

     "You're very mean, Azul!" Grim exclaimed, giving Azul a thumbs up. Azul coughed, "I prefer getting called cunning than being mean. Jade and Jamil have similarities towards each other's unique magic."

     Kalim entered the area, looking teary-eyed, "Jamil... This isn't true right?" He went near Jamil, trying to hug him. Jamil dodged Kalim's arms, "Please, tell me this isn't true. I know I occasionally have blackouts that last for hours, but I thought those were the spells I failed to pronounce. I always disregard it and you always take care of me, saying I should take a rest."

*drip* *drip* *drop*

     "Jamil-san, you're caught, I advice you to surrender yourself before it's too late," (Name) offered. She tried reaching for Kalim, but the denying Prince shook her off, "The plotting to expel me and mind controlling me... This isn't your fault right, Jamil? You're the last person I could trust. After all, we're best friends right?"

     Jamil laughed loudly as he can, and Kalim backed away. (Name) took the opportunity to take Kalim away from Jamil's maniacal state, "What's happening to you, Jamil-san?! I demand you to stop this instant!" The princess stood her ground, demanding the deranged Vice Dorm Leader.

*drip* *drip* *drop*

     "I'll tell you what's wrong, (Name)! Kalim, I'll tell you exactly what I did to you! Listen carefully, so you won't forget this day, ever! You've been the same person I first met, Kalim! GULLIBLE, NAIVE, FOOLISH, AND STUPID! I HATED IT! You managed to let a day pass away, completely blinded by everyone's fake faces, you never knew how much I suffered because of you!" Jamil yelled in pain, and (Name) gasped. "EVERY TIME I SEE YOUR SMILE, IT MAKES ME SICK! I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE ANYMORE. MY FAMILY, MYSELF, OR EVEN YOU! THERE'S NO POINT IN MAINTAINING MY IMAGE NOW, YOU HAVE SEEN WHAT PERSON I HAVE BECOME, RIGHT?!"

*DRIP* *DRIP* *DROP*

     Kalim tried to stop Jamil, but he was hugged tightly by (Name), "JAMIL! SNAP OUT OF IT!"

The one in front of you, standing, is your Master. Once I give you a command, you must obey it! Snake Charmer!

The students of Scarabia, Pantherlily, and Happy were controlled. Carla, Grim, and (Name) were surprised at a such spell, knowing Jamil shouldn't have done that, something have triggered inside of Jamil. His body was engulfed by a black fog, turning him into something else...

A dark genie with knitted red and black clothes, just like other overblots, his manifestation has the black jar on its head with a crack. Jamil's outfit was filled with snakes, head to toe, his once Scarabia turned into a dark sorcerer's clothes. Golden strings, a long headdress with a red gem, and his body was also tainted with black ink...

I order you to throw Kalim and the guests away from here!

     (Name) was terrified at this, her magic is gone, and her two trustable exceeds were controlled. "Carla, take Grim!" She ordered. Carla tried to wriggle free from the grasp of the strong Pantherlily. The three Octavinelle students and Kalim were trying to resist, but to their dismay, the five of them got thrown away.

     (Name) looked behind her to see Jamil's smirking face, he changed her outfit into a silky red outfit (like the Jasmine outfit). "What do I do with you?" He asked, twirling her hair and turning it into a high ponytail.

She didn't know what to do, praying for the safety of the others and herself. Begging for someone to hear her prayers, anyone at least... 'Headmaster, help me!' She kept praying repeatedly, taken captive by the current overblot student...
