Book 2 - The Usurper from the Wilds: Chapter 1; Scrambling for a Meal

As the screen turns on it shows the beginning of a new book "Book 2 - The Usurper from the Wilds" as the chapter title then plays "Chapter - 1; Scrambling for a Meal"

It opens to another one of those dreams, as Yuu got sucked into the mirror and it started to ripple and glow.

There is a big rock and what seems to be cloudy skies as Yuu says "I can hear the wind…" A lion is then seen starting walking up the rock, followed closely behind by a baboon that seems to be holding something in his arms. Once the lion is at the top point on the rock a bird flies by, as the baboon gets in front with a female lion now standing besides the male. As what he's holding becomes more clear. It's a lion cub. The baboon then holds the lion cub out over the edge of the rock as sunlight shines directly on him.

Yuu is then taken out of the mirror and not into that black void this time.

Yuu had already started to stir as Grim yelled "Myaaah!" and belly flopped onto her before flailing a little, clearly half asleep as he continued to yell out "Meeeooow! Myah myaaah…"

Yuu then sits up as she arranges Grim in her lap and starts to pet him while she whispers "Someone's having a nightmare." But is proven wrong, or possibly right as the petting and hold might have helped as Grim snores before yelling out "Myaaah… Thass whatchu get.. …fer crossin' Grim da Miiightyyy…!" Before letting out another snore.

She smiles softly at this as she rolls her eyes and thinks 'He's even a jerk in his dream.' but softly shakes him awake while saying "Grim…! Wake up!" He then lets out his last bit of dream speak "That's right! Cower before me, teapot tyrant!" But wakes up with a "BWUH-MYAH?!" as he flies out of her lap and into the air in a panic. Which causes her to slightly pout and roll her eyes, before getting out of bed.

Grim then starts to look around as he's still in half asleep mode then asks "...Huh? Where am I?" But he quickly gets out of that rut and starts to pout and complain "Aw, man! I was dreaming I was trouncing Riddle with my magic. You shoulda seen his face…"

Yuu just walks over to him and pats his head while giving him a sympathetic smile and telling him "That was a rough couple of days, and I'm still exhausted." But thinks 'But you won't get stronger by snoozing all day.' Grim then waves her hands off and says "All right, lemme just fix my bedhead. Then it's off to class! I've got magic to master!" Yuu just smiles with a bit of an eye-roll.

There's then a time-skip to after some classes to lunch in the cafeteria.

They've now joined up with Ace and Deuce, as Grim complains "Ugh. Professor Trein must have cast a sleepin' spell on me. I fought to stay awake, but he was sooo boring!" Deuce then counters "Yeah, "fought," sure. I heard you snoring five minutes in."

But Ace moves the topic from school and classes to food asking them "Grub time! What's it gonna be today?" But they're struggling to walk through as Ace asks "Huh, wait? What's going on? Why's it so crowded in here?"

One of the cafeteria's ghost chefs float over to them and explain "That famous bakery from out of town is serving up their goods. It only happens once a month! Their stock sells out fast, so you'd better hurry!"

A random Heartslabyul students shouts out to the counter once at the front of the line "Gimme three of those chocolate croissants!" A Heartslabyul student out of the line then shouts happily "Woo-hoo, I actually snagged an egg sandwich this month! These things are AMAZING!"

The cafeteria ghost then tells them "Egg sandwiches are now sold out! Only one deluxe ham and cheese left!" in encouragement.

Ace is taking a closer look at the menu as he says "Oh, mam, everything looks amazing. I'm gonna see if I can grab somethin'." Deuce hadn't yet gone off as he said "Wow, they really do seem popular?" Before turning over to Yuu and Grim asking "Yuu, Grim, what do you– Huh?"

But cuts off as Grim is no longer there. Yuu thinks in a panic 'Where did Grim go?!' But then sees him over by the line and says nervously "The ravenous beast has gotten loose…" As she knows there's no stopping him now.

Grim is then seen pushing through the line as he shouts "Hey! Outta my way, losers! That grilled cheese is mine!"

But another Heartslabyul student pushes him back telling him "Hey, no cutting!" But this annoys his other Heartslabyul friend as he shouts at Grim "A freshman, cutting in front of an upperclassman?! Time to learn some manners."

Ace had heard Grim and walked back over to them as Deuce shouted "He's got such a one-track mind when it comes to food!" But Ace just sighs.

Yuu thinks about telling Grim to stop, but quickly realizes that it'd be a bad idea as it would only draw a lot more attention so she tells Ace and Deuce "Let's go stop him!" With a fake cheery tone.

Deuce and Ace are not excited but know by now that they have to help her catch Grim.

The screen then fades to black with "To be continued" playing before turning off.
