"May her wings of hope guide the innocents from the darkness and into the field of flowers where they will find peace of mind, heart, and soul."

When they heard footsteps approaching them, they turned to see Crowley with a bag in his hand.
"Good evening. In another gesture of my immense kindness, I have brought you dinner." Crowley smiled before he noticed Grim, "Wait. That's the creature we ejected for causing trouble at orientation! What is it doing here?!"
"I let him stay since it was raining outside, and I felt bad for him... then we saw three ghosts and had a pleasant chat with them. I'm not sure where they are now, but they happily said we can stay here." Y/N said, holding Grim tightly in her arms like a child holding her teddy bear.
"I do seem to recall that this dorm had a mischievous ghost problem. Ah, yes... That's why it was abandoned, in fact. The ghosts scared away all the students."
'You didn't mention that earlier?' She deadpanned.
"And I'm sorry, you said they had a pleasant chat with them and let you stay willingly?" He questions.
"Pretty much!" Grim nodded.
"But what if they did attack? Would you two be so kind as to demonstrate your ghost-eradication methods for me?"
"No, 'cause I want tuna! Besides, they're already gone!"
"I will play the part of the ghosts. As for the tuna, you'll receive it when you defeat me. Oh truly, I am indeed generous." He smiled before taking out a bottle from his pocket and drinking it.
"Now to chug this transmutation potion!" He said before a bright light took over and in his place was a ghost version of himself.
Y/N and Grim's eyes widen, "He turns into a ghost?"
The female looks down at the feline creature in her arms, "This could be your chance to enroll here, Grim."
"Hmph!" Grim huffed before nodding, "All right, but after this, I better get my tuna!" He said, jumping out of the female's arms, ready to face the Crowley ghost as Y/N takes out her sword.
Then the Crowley ghost disappeared before appearing behind the two. The female quickly senses him and turns around.
"Behind us!" She said, thrusting her blade towards him while Grim spews fire at him, making him disappear and reappear on their left.
"You two seem to be good at this!" Crowley said before Grim's fire was thrown at him, making him disappear again.
The battle continued until Crowley's potion wore off.

Grim looked at the Headmage in anticipation as he panted while Y/N sheathed back her blade. "Well...?" He panted.
