Night Raven College - Courtyard

"No, no, no! I don't want to go back to those BOOOOORING classes!" Grim's retorts were completely ignored as Ace held him by the back of his nape as he walked towards Himemiya.

"Here you go, Hime-chi," Ace handed over the small creature with a smug grin, "Got him back, safe and sound for you~" 

Himemiya lets out a heavy sigh while Grim looked at both Ace and Deuce with a hated glare.

"How do you guys even managed to work together in the first place!? You're supposed to be fighting each other!!"

"For the sake of lunch, we can cast aside our bickers for a while," Deuce smirked while Ace nodded his head.

"Exactly~"

Surprised and dumbfounded, the small creature turned around to face the young woman.

"Oi, Himemiya! You're supposed to be on my side! Say something, will you!?"

However, all that Grim got from the young woman was a judging and disappointed look on her face.

"WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME THAT LOOK FOR!?"

"Because you've caused me enough problems already, Grim!" Himemiya scolded the small creature before she stared at him threateningly, "So stay still and be quiet."

Speechless and shocked, Grim unwillingly got himself carried away in Himemiya's hold.

"Why are you so strict today!? DAMN IT ALL!!!"

Night Raven College - Cafeteria

"It's finally lunch time~!" Grim exclaimed excitedly as he, Himemiya, Ace, and Deuce made their way to the now crowded cafeteria where most students could be seen having their lunch.

"Fuwahh~ Looks like they still have all the good-looking foods for today too!" Grim's mouth watered as he looked at the lined-up foods in multiple trays on the counter.

"I'm still amazed by how they manage to pull off a fancy buffet style," Himemiya looked around at the wide variety of foods and drinks to buy. She'd be lying if she wasn't feeling tempted to try and eat all the good-looking foods and drinks.

"Hime-chi~" Ace's voice instantly made the young woman recalled an unpleasant event that had happened not long ago which caused her to let out a sigh.

"I know, Ace. I know," she gave the dark, orange-haired young man a hard stare before walking off with Grim by her side and followed by the other two.

"Let's see, chocolate croissant... Iced cafe latte..." Himemiya looked around for something she wanted to eat until Grim spoke up from beside her as he stood on the counter.

"Whoa~" Grim's eyes twinkled, "There are fluffy omelets~ And grilled chicken and even BACON EGG TART!!!"

"Aghh! Your voice is too loud!!" Ace exclaimed, surprised from Grim's sudden outburst, "I swear, this guy gets excited during lunchtime only..."

Ace's grumbles were ignored as the small creature turned to Himemiya and looked at her with the same twinkled glint in his eyes, "Hey, Himemiya! I really want that grilled chicken! And it's the last one too!"

Himemiya stiffled a giggle and smiled slightly at Grim's child-like behaviour, "Alright, alright, calm down. I'll buy it for you."

"Alright~!" Grim cheered happily when he saw the young woman took the chicken before his eyes caught the sight of the other foods that he wanted, "Oh, oh, I also want the omelets too! And even the jam bread too! You know what, just take as much as you can!"

"H-How much do you want to eat exactly!?" Himemiya exclaimed.

"As much as I want! Nyahaha~!" Grim snickered as he was about to walk off before he ended up bumping into someone or something and fell backward, "Agh-!" 

"Ahhhhh----!!" a young man with white hair - the one that Grim bumped into his arm at the counter, froze on his spot as he stared at his plate of Carbonara Pasta in an appalling manner.

"Oh no..." Himemiya felt a dread suddenly hanging around her as she felt some sort of similarity of their current situation just like before. And judging from the appearance of the white-haired young man and his friend with the red hair, it was obvious that those two were giving off the vibe of delinquents. 

"Hey, you!!!" the white-haired young man turned around to face the small creature in anger, "Because of you, the egg yolk I've put on my pasta broke and  spill all over!!"

"Oi, oi, oi~ Don't you know that breaking the gooey egg yolk on top of pasta is one of the things we're looking forward to?" the other young man spoke up, sneering at Grim mockingly before it was replaced with a glare and threatening look, "How do you plan on making this up, huh!?!?"

"U-Um, w-we're very sorry!" Himemiya quickly intervened, "It was an accident. Grim didn't mean to do that to your food."

The two young men looked at her judgingly before the one with the white hair quirked an eyebrow at her, "Hold on, you're that rumoured dorm manager of that shambled dorm that everyone's talking about, right? I even heard that you're supposed to be the supervisor of this clumsy raccoon here."

"Y-Yes, that's right," Himemiya admitted and looked at them bravely, "That's why I would like to apologize for Grim's actions on his behalf."

The young man with the red hair scoffed and looked down at the young woman, "If you've been tasked to supervise this raccoon, then do your job properly!"

"I-I understand. I'll keep that in mind," Himemiya bowed down again at the two young men, "So please, forgive him."

The two delinquents said nothing for a good couple of seconds. Himemiya thought that maybe they were considering it. 

Until she heard them snickering.

"Even if you say so, I still can't just let you go that easy."

"Eh?" surprised, Himemiya looked up at the two young men who had smug grins on their faces.

"You think we're just gonna let you go after spoiling our food? Think again~" the red-haired young man laughed at her and Grim.

"You know, how about handing over that grilled chicken of yours as compensation?" the other young man pointed at the mentioned food that Himemiya had taken for Grim on her tray, "If you do that, then I'll gladly turn a blind eye on what happened just now."

"Wha-!? N-No way! This is mine, you know!?" Grim stood up, refusing to abide by the two delinquents' orders.

"Haaa? Is that how a freshman like you speak to seniors like us?" the one with the red hair said with a lace of angry tone, "Let's settle this at the back then!"

"P-Please wait," Deuce finally spoke up as he tried to reason with the two young men, "Using magic in a fight is prohibited."

"A fight? Hah! This is just a way of how we seniors teach their juniors a lesson!" the two delinquents took out their magical pen and readied themselves.

"Grit your teeth!!"
