Grim quickly sprung into action, he was shooting fire left and right at the ghosts. Or well, he was trying to shoot it at the ghosts.

But, the more fire Grim spat out, the more the ghosts taunted him.

"Where are you even aiming at?"

"Over here! Hahahahaha!!"

The ghosts were not only taunting him with their voices, but making him question his every move, since they would go through one wall but then appear from the ceiling, and such and such. Grim honestly had no clue where they would show up next.

Grim yelled out in fury, "Urgh!! Stop disappearing and reappearing!"

"Hey! If you continue like this, this dorm, or one of us is gonna catch on fire!" You tried shouting over the sound of flames spewing everywhere, desperately needing Grim to come to his senses.

However, Grim didn't appreciate that whatsoever, and since he's a firm believer in doing the opposite of what people advise him to do out of pure spite, he responded with: "Shut up! Don't tell me what to do!" And simply continued spewing out more flames that would miss the ghosts.

"Geez does he think I'm his parent?" You mumbled, looking at Grim in annoyance. Upon further inspection, you saw that Grim would shoot out flames with his eyes closed.

This gave you an idea.

"Hey! Listen for a moment. Do you always shoot out flames with your eyes closed?"

Grim paused for a moment, redirecting his attention to you,

"What do you mean? This is the only way I know how to do it."

Now knowing you had Grim's attention, you carried on,

"Okay, we'll work on that later since shooting fire with your eyes closed is probably muscle memory by this point-"

"What's muscle memory-?" Grim asked before you cutted him off,

"But, listen. No offense, but the ghosts are just teasing you at this point because that's how many times you've missed with your flames. So, how about we team up?"

"Huh..?! Team up?! With YOU?" Honestly, the mere idea of it sounded horrid to him.

"Hey, look. If you burn down this dorm because of your bad aim, Crowley is obviously gonna know. And I'll tell him that you're still here and that you did this. I'm pretty sure he mentioned not turning you into soup out of the goodness of his heart but I'm sure he wouldn't be so merciful this time. You can't become a great magician if you're soup."

".................."

"Plus, I'll throw in a prize, what do you want?" Honestly, that was mostly a bluff. But if what he wanted was possible, you'd do it, except you don't have any money so you can't really buy him anything..

"Hmm.. I want canned tuna!"

Well.. great. He wants something that requires money to obtain. Oh well.

"Alright, and if you think about it. It benefits both of us, I have a house to sleep in that's not burnt to the ground, we both deal with these annoying ghosts, you get canned tuna, and you won't be turned into soup! If anything, this deal benefits you the most!"

The sound of being benefitted the most sounded really nice to him, so Grim, now full of confidence, said,

"Alright! Let's do this! What's your plan, hench human?"

"I'll just tell you where to aim and you'll shoot there, for example- Behind you!"

"Myrah!!!" Panicking, Grim quickly went behind him spewed out fire which landed on a ghost, successfully making it retreat.
