《 Ramshackle Dorm - Bedroom 》
After finishing up several unfinished schoolwork, after reviewing my investigation notes, night falls upon us. And we barely noticed it.
"Azuma...I'm hungryyyy~!!!" Grim groans. A pat his head in reassurance, "I know just let me finish this bit."
I was almost done with the magical history worksheet...I just need to answer this last bit which is an essay. 'I fucking hate magical history...so many essays hhhhhh-'
As I faceplant my forehead on the desk in frustration, my stomach growls. Startling me and Grim. "So do we get to eat now???" Grim's ears perk up, eyes sparkling. "Yeah yeah...I'm getting the tuna. Sheesh you're such a glutton..." I said with a smile. "Gya~! Don't pet me! You're gonna ruin my fur..." Grim exclaims. "Aw come on! You know you like it!"
《 An hour later... 》
"Yaw~~~n..." I stretch out my arms on the bed, getting ready to end the day. Grim huddling near me. I turn to the side, facing the window 'I wonder how's Go doing...' And with a sigh, I fell asleep.
A cloudy white fog takes over my vision...

"Hey...wake up."

"Mmh....hm...?" I feel someone nudging me awake.
"Hey, wake up." A voice calls out to me.
I blink a few times to clear my vision...groggily I get up from the bed, "Ngh...Morning."
"Huh? What are you doing in our dorm?" Grim, who was wide awake, asked. It takes me a moment to realize that Jack was the one who woke me up, "What the-!? When did you get here?"
"I was doing some jogging around here. Today's the Magical Shift, I couldn't let you oversleep." Jack replies.
'How tf did he know I was asleep? I'm pretty sure my room is on the second floor???? wait....that's creepy wtf!?'
"Ah! That's right! We gotta catch the culprit so we can get into the tournament!" Grim exclaims.
I let out a sigh, "Well, I'm gonna go change so you two, get out."
《 Side Street - Festival 》
"Woah..." I look around, impressed that this was all set-up in one day. 'I swear, even without magic these booths for school festivals just pop out of nowhere!'
"Fungya~!!! Look at all this! There's so many things to eat! Churros, fried cake, there's smoked chicken too!" Grim said, starry-eyed and drooling slightly.
"Now this is why I skipped breakfast! 2 sets of takoyaki please" I exclaimed, waiting in line.
"Geez, at least wait for us..." Ace groaned then sighed, "Tch. In the end I didn't even get picked." "Same." Adeuce were sulking, rip. I return back to them with 2 sets of takoyaki in hand, thankfully the line wasn't very long so Grim and I can eat early. "Ow ow ow! Hot...!" Grim exclaimed, almost spitting out the hot takoyaki. "There's a next time, y'know?" I say in reasurrance.
"But we have an important task to do today, we gotta focus on that first." Deuce stated.
"You're right, let's give it our all!" Ace cheered.
《 Later... 》
"Ahem...Welcome to the Night Raven College Inter-Dorm Magical Shift Tournament. We apologize for the long wait. It's finally time to welcome out competitors to the field!"
As the guests cheer, I keep a look out for Ruggie if he's anywhere nearby. "I hope this plan really works..." I mutter, keeping my eyes out for Ruggie.
"First up, last year's victor. Will they take victory again this year!? Our reigning champions, DIASOMNIAAA!!!!!" said the announcer while the crowd cheers at Diasomnia's entrance.
I finally spot Ruggie in the distance, hiding behind a booth with some sort of vial in his hand. "Tf is he doing???" I ask to no one in particular.
Seeing his magical pen glow, I take out Cater's phone to record (just in case). The ground shakes and a crowd of panicked spectators start running towards Diasomnia.
"AAAAAHHHH!!!! My body is moving on it's own....! Get out of the way! Move!!!"
"Kyaaaah!!! Don't push me!"
"Get away! You're gona get trampled!"
I try my best to not smile, 'This really reminded me of that one scene in Lion King...'
Two panicked Diasomnia members desperately try to protect their dorm leader while Ruggie, who looked like he emerged victorious, on the other hand...has no idea what's coming.
