Deuce’s dream of Book 7 involves the seven dorms of NRC being “locked in a nonstop battle over turf,” with daily disputes over school facilities that can only be accessed by winning the right to do so through a physical confrontation.
Leona comments that it is hard to tell if Deuce wants to be an honor student or a 不良 in his dream, with Ortho pointing out that a real 不良 probably wouldn’t be interested in disputes over things like access to the school library instead of money or physical objects.
But that is exactly what happens in Deuce’s dream, with Heartslabyul students and Octavinelle students battling one another with books as weapons over the right to use the library study rooms because they want to score well on tests.
Deuce is shocked by the revelation that the books of his dream are blank. Sebek asks, “In what way are you an honor student?,” nearly awakening Deuce.
Dream-Ace reassures Deuce that his world is perfectly logical, as fighting to use a study room is “totally what an honor student would do. The more brawls you win against other dorms’ students, the better you can study. Makes perfect sense to me.”
After he awakens Deuce wonders, “does this mean somewhere deep down, I wished I could resolve everything through violence?…Why am I always like this…?!,” but Ortho assures him that many of the dreams were distorted interpretations of what the dreamer wanted. (Deuce: “Oh, that’s good… I guess?”)
After students see a picture of him as an elementary school child Azul begins to panic, and Deuce empathizes, saying, “I totally get what you’re feeling. Everybody’s got a past they wish they could erase!,” and telling everyone to forget what they saw and never speak of Azul’s past again.
