In the Ramshackle Dorm, Grim is still lying on the couch as he sulks with a deep frown on his face. Sereia, Tanzanite, and Jasper are doing their school assignments. Trinket sits on the table as he watches the group doing their work.

Sulking, Grim says, "Man... If I can't be in the Spelldrive tournament, then what's even the point anymore?"

Soon, the door to the dorm opens and Briar walks inside.

"Hey guys, I'm back," Briar calls out.

The group turns to see Briar walking into the lounge of the dorm.

"Hello Briar, how was the meeting?" Tanzanite asks.

"It went fine. There was talk about the Spell tournament, but that seems about it," Briar says.

Grim lets out a groan of disappointment.

Briar turns to notice Grim lying on the couch, "Is Grim still disappointed about what happened?"

Tricket flies over and nods her head in reply.

"Yeah. Grim has been sulking since we got back," Tanzanite says.

Just then, the three Ghosts of the Ramshackle Dorm have returned.

"What's wrong, Grimmy? Something got ya down?" Patrick asks.

"He's sulking because he can't play in the Spelldrive tournament," Albert replies.

"Unfortunately, that is the case. He wanted to play at the Selldrive tournament. Some of us actually want to play too, but we don't have enough people to play," Briar explains

Then John says, "If you wanna play Spelldrive that badly, why, we can play with ya!"

"Have you played Spelldrive before?" Jasper questions.

John then says, "Kid, I was the team captain ninety years ago, y'know. The girls in the stands couldn't get enough of me!"

"Wow. So you must be very good," Tanzanite replies.

"I sure am," John says.

"Yeah, but wouldn't we need seven people?" Grim replies.

But Albert says, "It's not a real match, so who cares? Let's just play!"

"Yeah. Let's go play," Jasper says.

"It seems like fun," Tanzanite says.

But Sereia says, "But I never played Spelldrive before."

"And neither have I," Briar says.

"Tanzanite and I have seen a Spelldrive tournament, but never played it," Jasper says and Tanzanite nods his head in reply.

Trinket replies with a ringing sound.

"Don't worry, we'll teach you. You'll have a wonderful time once you learn how to play," John says.

Soom, everyone's outside and in the large courtyard of the dorm. Grim holds the Spelldisc with his magic. Jasper and Tanantie are standing beside him while Briar stands from behind. Sereia and Trinket stand at the sidelines to watch.

"Is this how I am supposed to hold the disc?" Grim asks.

"Yes. Exactly like that. And don't sweat all the rules or particular for now," John says. "Just control the disc with magic and lob it right into the goal."

"No problem! You ghosts are gonna eat my dust!" Grim says, excited.

Then Albert says, "Mind you, the disc carrier should expect some magical interference Heehee!"
