Y/N POV

"I can hear the wind," I said to myself, so as I opened my eye and look around there was a huge pointy rock in front of me. 'This is another weird dream.' I thought to myself. Soon a male lion walks up to the top of the mountain as a hornbill flies in the sky. Then, a mandrills monkey holds a baby lion in his arms, 'Oh the baby lion is cute.' Afterward, the monkey raised the baby lion to the all animal as the sunshine to the newborn baby lion.

Everything disappeared when I heard a roar in my room, soon woke up from my sleep. Then looking around the room and at the little monster beside me. "What was with that roar?" I said under my breath, as Celestia comes out from the shadow.

"Nyah...How's that... Do you understand the power of the Great Grim..." Grim sleep talking.

"T-that's some sleep-talking!" Celestia commented as I grab my uniform.

"Celestia wake him up for me. I just change to my uniform." I said then walked towards the bathroom.

Celestia shook Grim while using her nose, "Grim, wake up."

"I showed that tyrant, Riddle, who's boss..." Grim opened his eyes, "What? The Ramshackle Dorm. It was only a dream... I thought I'd knock that Riddle out and become the strongest wizard ever. So disappointed." Later, on I walked out of the bathroom and changed into my uniform.

"We're really been through a lot," I mumble. "So... all we have to do is train," I said to them as Celestia replied with a nod.

"Okay! Time to get going... Another day closer to becoming a great wizard! Y'know." Grim jumped out of the bed with a cheerful smile. Me, grim, and Celestia go downstairs to the kitchen, where Lucas has ready prepared our breakfast in his human form. He is wearing the NRC uniform and the same color as mine.

"Good morning, my lady, Celestia, and sir Grim." Lucas greets us while placing his hand on his chest.

"Good morning." We said, the moment we finish eating our food; I put on my shoes and was ready to go.

"Guys, let's--" Before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly senses an unfamiliar aura coming from inside the dorm. 'Someone is here' I thought to myself, at that moment I quickly detect three knives flying straight at me from behind. At the speed of light, I turn around and catch the knife with my fingers.

"What the heck? W-where does knife come from?" Grim shouted as he hide behind Lucas.

"My lady, are you alright?" Celestia asked.

"I'm fine, don't worry," I replied.

"Who's there? You show yourself." Lucas shouted in the dorm when all of a sudden a man jump on the table. He has long dark-red hair, shark-like teeth, and red-framed glasses accessorized with a chain with skulls.

"Oh my! You are just an exquisite lady." The grim reaper walks up to me and cupped his hands on my cheek. "So you are the princess that her majesty and Netanel were talking about. You don't look scary or capable to kill a single person, instead, you are just an adorable little princess."

Lucas and Celestia rushed between us, and the red-haired man jump back. "Stay away from her!"

"Oh my, oh my! So adorable, two familiars trying to protect their master." The red-haired boy laughs.

"Who are you? And why are you here?" I asked.

"A~re! You don't know, who am I? Didn't Netanel tell you about me?" The male returned a question to me.

"No! He didn't mention a red-haired male in my ancestor game," I said, crossing my arms.

"Game!! What game?" Grim asked but I just ignore him.

"I see! Well, since Netanel is awful not to mention my name then, I'll just have to introduce myself." The grim reaper placed his hand on his chest and then bow down. "It's a pleasure to meet you, your highness. My name is Jackson Reaper, the eleventh of the sinister. I work for her majesty, Queen Narissa."

"Jackson Reaper," Lucas asked himself.

"Eleventh of the sinister?..." Celestia questioned.

"So why are you here? Jacker Reaper." I asked.

Jackson seat on the couch and then tilted his head, "Oh Bassy! Netanel was right! You do love to ask serious questions. "

"Yea, yea! Whatever." I waved my hand, "Just get to the point, why are you here?"

"Her majesty! Want me to send you a letter." Jackson throw the letter to Lucas, and he handed it to me.

I opened the letter and started reading it out loud, "I am someone considered honorable. But despite this position of mine, I am always the second choice. Who am I? P.S. The second target." 'Now she is making riddles!?' I raised my eyebrow.

"Second target! Who is the first?" Lucas asked.

"If I will guess, it was Riddle Roseheart," Celestia whispered to Lucas.

"Since I deliver the letter. My job here is done! I'm looking forward to our next meeting." Jackson waved his hand as his body turn to grey smoke.

"That man is very weird? AHH! We going to be late, hurry let go." Grim said as run towards the front door. I placed the letter on my packet, and Lucas and Celestia walk to the front door.

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

"Ugh... Mr. Trein has been using some sort of spell to put me to sleep. No matter how hard I resist I look to the drowsiness!" Grim complained.

"You fell asleep five minutes in," Lucas told Grim as he cross his arms together.

"That's not resisting at all," Deuce added as Celestia sighed at the side. While I was too busy reading to notice the voice of my friends.

"Lunchtime, what should I have today....?" Ace said to himself.

"...Hmm? The cafeteria is extra crowded today." Celestia said while looking around the cafeteria and soon I close my book and look around as well.

"You're right," I said, the Cafeteria ghost unaware shows up.

"Today is a special day that happens once a month! A super popular bakery in town is here to promote at school! It sells out fast so the early bird gets the worm." The Cafeteria ghost said.

"Three chocolate croissants for me!" A student said.

"I actually got something this month! This egg salad sandwich is the best." Another student replied with a cheered smile.

"The egg salad sandwich is already sold out! There's only one deluxe ground meat sandwich Left." The Ghost announces.

"Everything looks really tasty. I might have to go get something." Ace said.

"It's really popular. Y/n, Grim, Celestia, Lucas, what do you wanna...Huh?" Deuce asked furthermore he realized something as I and the others gaze around for the little monster.

"Grim's gone." I quickly said.

"The hungry beast has been unleashed," Celestia announced.

"Outta my way!! All of you. That deluxe ground meat sandwich is mine." Grim shouted as he run towards in front of the line.

"Is he always like this, when you first met him?" Lucas asked as he put his index finger into his chin and I sighed.

"Yep! You will get used to it someday." Celestia said.

"Hey, jerk, no cutting in line." A resident from Heartslabyul shouted at Grim.

"You've got some nerve cutting in front of your seniors, freshman! Get outta here." Another one was added.

"He loses himself to food way too easily!" Deuce exclaimed as Ace groaned.

"Ugh..."

"Grim! Stay." Celestia yelled.

"Mistress! Please let me handle him for you... I also prepared us, some lunch too. I'll just bring it to you later." Lucas steps in as his right hand is on his chest.

"Okay... Celestia and I will go find an empty table. Oh, and here." I give Lucas some money, "Go buy Grim's sandwich."

"As you wish, my lady." I and Celestia left the scene and find a table.

Three-person POV

"Do you get how strong I am now! This last deluxe ground meat sandwich is all mine. Nya haha! I'll also be taking yakisoba bread and cream-filled bread." Grim cheered soon Ace, Deuce and Lucas walked toward Grim.

Lucas pays for the food and soon turns to everyone, and bows down. "Everyone! I would like to apologize, for this cat behavior. I will ensure you that this won't ever happen again."

"Grim, knock it off already! I'm sorry everyone." Deuce apology too.

"And, uh, I'll have a roast beef and lettuce panini!" Ace cut the line as well and order his.

"You don't get to just cut in line either!" Deuce told Ace with an angry face. After everyone buys their food, Deuce, Ace, Grim and Lucas go to where Y/n and Celestia are sitting. But on our way there Lucas overheard someone complaining.

"Ah, crap. I completely missed the lunchtime free-for-all. The deluxe ground meat sandwich Leona wanted is already sold out." He sighed.

"Nya ha ha! The taste of victory. I'll take my time savoring it." Grim shouted in delight that he grab the last one while skipping to the table as Lucas is behind him.

"Oh. Hey, you. That's pretty great. You got your hands on a deluxe ground meat sandwich, huh." Ruggie approached Grim. 'Hm? Who is he?' Lucas thought to himself while tilting his head.

"Huh? What's it to you?" Grim asked as he hold tight to his sandwich.

"I have to get that sandwich no matter what but they sold out right in front of me. So I have a proposition." Ruggie holds out his sandwich, "Could you trade me that deluxe ground meat sandwich for my mini paste bread?"

"Huh!? No way in hell!" Grim yelled.

"Now now, don't say that... Here you are." Ruggie said when suddenly Grim body started moving towards Ruggie.

"Huh!? Is he really giving his food to the guy, after cut in line?" Lucas muttered.

"Ffna!? What's going on!? My arms and legs are moving on their own..." Grim stated as they switch their sandwich.

"Negotiation complete. Shi shi shi." Ruggie giggled. "Thanks for being kind enough to trade me! That mini bean paste bread is just as good. It being tiny is a defect. Thanks and bye-bye!"

"F-f-ffgnaaaa!! My deluxe ground meat sandwich!!!" Grim scream.

Y/N POV

Lucas, Deuce, Ace, and Grim walked toward our table, but Grim seem disappointed and about to cry. 'Did something happen?' I thought to myself, while titled my head to the side.

"Ooh, ooh. Today is the worst day ever. This bread is hard to swallow..." Grim said as eat the sandwich.

"He says after vacuuming up three of them." Ace said.

"Then what was That earlier? If you're going to complain this much you shouldn't have traded in the first place." Deuce told Grim, as I and Celestia are so confused.

"What exactly happened to you, guys?" I whispered to Lucas.

"Some student traded his mini sandwich for Grim a deluxe sandwich," Lucas whispered back.

"Grim, who normally only has space in his head for food, is trading a mini for a deluxe!? That doesn't sound like Grim will do." I mumble.

"That's not it! When that guy stuck his arms out, my body moved in the same way on its own... The trade was over before I knew it." Grim explain, angerly.

"Oh I see, you just kinda went along with it. That happens sometimes." Ace said.

"That's not right either... Grrrr, I can't explain it well! I'm confused so I'm just gonna eat to feel better! Deuce, gimme of your pasta!" Grim reached his hand on Deuce's food.

"I'm not part of this! Knock it off!" Deuce said pulling away his food from Grim.

"Grim, stop. Here eat your tuna can instead." I gave him a tuna can. Soon he started eating the tuna and leaving Deuce pasta.

"By the way, the headmaster said he has something to talk about so to come to his office after class today. Wonder what it is?" Ace said.

"Isn't it probably about the stuff that happened with Dorm Head Rosehearts the other day?" Deuce asked

"Perhaps," Celestia said.

"The 'evil berserker mode' incident? Probably." Ace replied.

"Hah... we might get a whole pile of canned tuna for how hard we worked," Grim said.

"No canned tuna please." Ace sighed.

"That reminds me. How did my ancestor men were able to get inside, Night Raven College in the first place?" I said under my breath while placing my index finger on my chin. "I should be more careful to run at them."

Three-person POV

"Leona, I'm back with lunch," Ruggie announced as he walked through the Botanical Garden.

"Grrr...." Leona groaned, soon Leona seat up. "Huh, already afternoon."

"Were you by chance sleeping here all morning?" Ruggie asked, "You're gonna fail another class."

Leona sniffs his nose in the air, sensing delicious food. "Oh, smells like you got what I ordered."

"Ugh. Leona, you always want the stuff that's the most competitive." Ruggie commented, "Here's your order of one deluxe ground meat sandwich and ice tea."

"Stupid. The more difficult it is to get the more you wanna eat it." Leona said as he grab his food from Ruggie.

"I'll eat anything as long as it isn't moldy. I'm sure Prince Leona wouldn't know anything about that." Ruggie teasing him.

"Hmph. I'm not the crown prince, I'm the second. I couldn't be king even if I wanted to. I'm not different from the masses." Leona stated.

"I'll never forget when I showed you a picture of my home and you said, 'I thought it was a dog house.'" Ruggie said

"I said that?"

"Ya sure did. Ugh. I'd love to live in a castle so big it makes my home look like a dog house." Ruggie sighed

"Ha. Being royalty isn't that great. Your effort skills make no difference, everything is decided by what order you were born in..." Leona told Ruggie.

"Hmph. Is that so?" Ruggie placed both of his hands behind his back. "Oh yeah. After school today is the dorm head meeting about the Magical Shift Tournament. Please, don't miss it."

"...Tsk, pain in the ass..." Leona pisses off.

"As the dorm head, you get the biggest single room. So work to earn that place." Ruggie told Leona, sounds like a mother.

"Ah, fine, fine," Leona said than followed by a yawn. "I'm stuffed to the brim and sleepy. Wake me up after lunch."

"I'm not your alarm clock, Leona." Later on, Leona has already fallen asleep, "Huh, he's already asleep!" Ruggie sighed, "Ugh, I can't."

Ruggie soon started to walk around through the garden, "Now that I think about it, where have I seen that raccoon before?
