Do you ever wonder if Riddle's UM puts a target on his back?
I mean, Azul definetely wants to steal Off With Your Head, not to mention STYX has a gadget that does the same thing...
I once joked that, whenever there is an assassination plot or something against NRC, the first thing the assailants do is put Riddle out of comission, to the point that Crowley even said that "There's no assassins in the school, they would've attacked Riddle by now!"
But what if the attackers decided to brainwash him instead? If you're going to challenge some of the strongest mages in the world, having their classmate with a broken UM under mind control is a good advantage.
Except that Riddle is INCREDIBLY stubborn, and the sight of an emotionless Riddle blindly following orders and almost overblotting from trying to fight the spell just made the students angrier (they won't say they're worried, since they're NRC students. Well, aside from Kalim and Silver).
The assassins then decided that it's better to just fight with magic than try to cancel their opponent's powers. Malleus and Leona throwing punches was already bad enough, but then Floyd came in for the squeeze and HERE COMES CATER WITH THE STELL CHAIR!!!!
The scariest one was Kalim, though. He does not appreciate people hurting his friends (also the whole Book 4 thing kinda traumatised him, even if he forgave Jamil).
#riddle is always at the infirmary whenever there is an assassin at NRC#they poison his tarts or throw him off the stairs#though it's mostly minor injuries#the first time someone tried the mind control approach Floyd was nearby and just used Bind The Hearth#the second time was more sucessfull#the guy lasted 3 minutes before becoming a glass vase (leona sanded the guy while malleus burned the sand for good measure)#riddle is mostly immune to mind control though#kid is just too stubborn#twst#riddle rosehearts#cater diamond#azul ashengrotto#malleus draconia#leona kingscholar#kalim al asim
