Ace Info Compilation part 2: Ace and the Prefect(pt1)
Ace may have a closer relationship to the prefect than any other character.
He has an impressive number of voice lines that reference the prefect, inviting them out to eat, to visit Heartslabyul, to his birthday party and inviting himself over to Ramshackle dorm for card games.
Ace’s first meeting with the prefect involves Ace mocking both them and Grim for not being admitted to the school and being forced to work as janitors.
When he is ejected from Heartslabyul for stealing a piece of tart Ramshackle Dorm is possibly the first place he goes, encouraging the prefect to let him share their bed for the night (“I’m real slim. I won’t take up much space.”)
Ace offers to share a bed with the prefect again in Book 3 and when they refuse he claims, “I was kidding anyway.”
When Grim runs off in Book 1 Ace offers to help “the worst prefect to ever set foot on campus” in exchange for a chocolate croissant (Deuce requests an iced latte).
In the EN adaptation Ace asks for the Prefect’s Magicam ID so that they can keep in touch during winter break in case the prefect gets bored, but his original line is, “if you get lonely.”
The Prefect does contact Ace and Deuce for help during Book 4 but they are unable to reach the campus in time, having been forced to take public transportation.
(NRC is difficult to reach when not traveling by mirror, requiring at least one train, two bus trips and two ferries.)
Ace brings snacks to Ramshackle in Book 5 “to share some with (Prefect) and the others” and when he learns of the prefect’s nickname for Malleus he says, “Do you have a death wish!?”
The Prefect calls both Ace and Deuce over late at night during Book 6 after being attacked by Grim, and Ace insists on patching up the prefect’s hand.
When Deuce fails to make a convincing argument about whether or not they should trust Grim, Ace asks the prefect what they would like to do, and volunteers to join the hunt to find him.
In a flashback we see Ace playing basketball with the prefect against Deuce and Grim and asking, “Ever think about joining the basketball club?”
We also see Grim steal an omelet from Deuce that Ace offers to replace, as he has already stolen part of the prefect’s Salisbury steak.
Ace also offers to do the prefect’s makeup, do homework together and tells them that he worries about them because they “seem slow on the uptake sometimes.”
