Book 2 - The Usurper from the Wilds: Chapter 31; The Final Sales Tally

The screen turns on as the chapter title plays "Chapter - 31; The Final Sales Tally".

It shows the previous day's sundown as Yuu walks into the room, finally being discharged and able to leave the infirmary. She looks around saying "Well, that was quite a day!"

She then sees Grim already asleep and snoring. She thinks 'Guess I should get to bed too.' but as she walks by Grim and rubs his head she tells him "Good night, Grim." as she gets into bed herself.

It then shows later on that night, after Grim had eaten his rock, Yuu wakes up to the mirror glowing.

She is confused, but remembers the dreams so she asks "Is this a dream?" while looking around.

She then walks up to the mirror and it stops glowing. But as she looks at it, she's not able to see her reflection but instead it shows a white shadowy void as there is a shadowy figure in the bottom left corner.

She trips and falls backwards at seeing this. But when she looks again it's just back to being a normal mirror.

But after that she's not able to fall back asleep and instead had her eyes trained on the mirror, all the way until the next morning. Grim is still snoring away as she asks, kinda scared "What was the deal with that black shadow…?"

It then switches over to the Octavinelle dorm lounge.

There's gray floors and most of the couches are gray as well. But there are a few deep purple seats and some purple and white pillows on the couches. The walls are two shades of purple in a striped pattern. There are also giant windows lining the back wall that show the ocean the dorm is in. The windows have sheer purple curtains. Then there are some decorations that look like seaweed that have lights attached to them And two dark blue chandeliers with a bunch of small white lights on them, while the chandeliers themselves were in the shape of giant squids.

Azul is sitting on one of the couches as he looks over the results of the torment merchants. He comments "Sales at this year's Spelldrive tournament were up 12% compared to last year. Not a bad haul."

Floyd is also lounging there as he says to Azul while lying only halfway upside-down on a chair "Yeah, but this year we ended up closer to the bottom of the tournament rankings than the top."

Azul tells him "Just so long as we weren't at the very bottom. Let's not forget that Spelldrive is nothing more than a game in which students run around chasing a disc like dogs in a yard. Now, a school even more worthy of the full attention of Octavinelle House might be, say…"

As his voice trails off for a second before he says rather loudly "Mid-term exams!"

Just then Jade walked in shouting "Azul!" As he tells him "We received an urgent message from a client. They wish to speak tonight at the lounge, in person." Azul says "Urgent, you say? Well, we'll have to prepare a proper welcome. I do look forward to learning more very soon." Before chuckling.

The screen fades to black and "To be continued" plays as the screen fully turns off.
