A few days later it was Sunday, Y/N came back from work. "I'm back. I see you were playing magift with the ghosts, Grim." She smiled.
"Hoohoo! Though it was his first time, Grim actually did well." Albert laughed.
Then the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Y/N said as she walked to the door.
It was Crowley. "Hello Crowley. What brings you here? Did something happen?"
" What do you mean?" Crowley said cheerfully as he was covering up that he was nervous.
"Headmaster." Y/N asked, knowing something was up. "I learned to distinguish when something is wrong. You would not be here for a regular visit."
"I can't pull a wall over your eyes, huh?" Crowsley sighed before gaining a serious expression as he sat on the couch in the lounge.
"So what's the problem this time? We are not handyman you know." Grim grumbled.
"Ahem. Let me start from the beginning. There has been an increasingly concerning amount of people being injured in accidents around the school." Crowley said getting to the point.
"People getting injured?" Astral raised an eyebrow as he appeared from the key.
"Indeed. Falling down from stairs, getting scalded by boiling water, etc..." Crowley sighed."The reasons vary, but more people keep coming to the infirmary due to accidents. Then there was an incident by the staircase just yesterday. He was the 10th victim. And when it happens, there were very few witnesses..."
"Aren't they just being clumsy?" Grim asked out loud.
"The Magical Shift Tournament is nearing and it's true that some students are getting restless. But, the amount of accidents compared to last year's is too much. What makes it more suspicious, all the people that were injured were students who were top candidates for the Magical Shift Tournament." Crowley explained and Y/N gained a frown on her face.
"In other words, You think it's being done on purpose." Y/N concluded.
"Excellent deduction, Sakamoto. However, we have no evidence to suggest otherwise.
All the accidents happened with at least one witness. And all those who fall victim all say the same thing. None of the ones injured were acting differently before." Crowley explained further.
"Then, that means they were just being clumsy. Alright, solved~" Grim said crossing his arms.
"But what if that's what the culprit is counting on Grim?" Astral countered. "It seems like they're plotting something big in the long run." He finished.
And so with a promise of Ramshackle entering in a exhibition match with her Duel Monsters, she, Astral and Grim agreed to help.
[LOCATION: School Infirmary]
"I heard that the injured people are all here. Pardon the intrusion!" Grim said.
HEARTSLABYUL STUDENT A: "Who're you guys?"
HEARTSLABYUL STUDENT B: "Oh! They're from Ramshackle Dorm. Remember, they were at the Unbirthday Party?"
Heartslabyul Student C: Whoa! She has a new familiar. He looks cool!
"Oh~! Looks like we're plenty famous, with them." Grim smiled.
"Don't let it get to your head, Grim." Whimsy said, informed on the situation. "Boys, do you mind if we ask what exactly happened during your accidents? It's an urgent order." She asked.
HEARTSLABYUL STUDENT A: I don't really get what happened either. I was walking while talking with this guy... And before I noticed it, I fell down the stairs.
HEARTSLABYUL STUDENT B: Yeah... It's kinda different from him just tripping or slipping...
HEARTSLABYUL STUDENT A: It's like my body just floated and moved on its own... I can't really explain it well...
[LOCATION: Classroom]
"Hey, you got injured the other day, right? Tell us what happened." Grim asked a Pomefiore student.
POMEFIORE STUDENT A: Who in the world are you guys?
POMEFIORE STUDENT B: His feelings are hurt right now because he trained so hard for the Tournament but now he can't even participate!
"I understand, but I was asked by the headmaster himself to investigate this because he suspects foul play since too many students are getting hurt for it to be normal." Y/N said getting their attention, although they were more surprised by Astral. "So, if you could tell us what exactly happened, we'd be grateful."
POMEFIORE STUDENT A: O-of course sir. W-We'll tell you what happened.
POMEFIORE STUDENT B: It happened in the laboratory. The cauldron he was using to prepare some potions suddenly slipped from his hands and it caused an uproar in the classroom!
To top it off, the potion spilled all over that even the desk was so soaked! I was so surprised, goodness...!
POMEFIORE STUDENT A: Are you going to narrate everything!?
"When it happened, did it feel strange, like something took over?" Whimsy asked.
Pomefiore Student A: ! Now that you mention it, yes.
"Thank you. Please take care and hope you get better." Y/N nodded as she and her companions left.
Pomefiore student A: ............You saw that floating guy right?
Pomefiore student B: Yeah.....I did.......how could an alien look attractive?!
[LOCATION: Ramshackle Dorm - Foyer]
"Yanno... For some reason, they all just sound like they're clumsy. Maybe we're overthinking the situation, yanno?" Grim wondered. Before anyone could say anything, there was a knock at the door.
"Hm? Who's that?" Whimsy asked.
It was Ace.
"Heya! Oh, Grim's feeling better?"
"Oh, it's just you. I'm busy right now, so I have no time to play with you." Grim grumbled.
"Busy? You're not done with your homework yet?" Ace asked.
Y/N sighed. "We actually got it done over the weekend after Duel Monsters Club. But that's not it. You see..."
[LOCATION: Ramshackle Dorm - Lounge]
"Oh... Investigating all those accidents, huh." Ace said shaking his head.
"But while we were asking them questions, all I could think of was that they were being clumsy or they weren't paying attention." Grim said.
But then Deuce ran though the door, all in a panic.
"Ace, there's a problem! Clover-senpai fell down the stairs and was injured...!" Deuce said out of breath.
GRIM & ACE: "Eh!?"
"Don't tell me...! Even that lanky glasses Trey was hurt!?" Grim shouted in disbelief.
"I don't think he was being clumsy. It's hard to imagine him being careless." Whimsy countered.
"True... Trey-senpai doesn't give off that vibe..." Ace said.
"Let's go ask him what happened!" Grim insisted.
