Chapter 6: A Move-In Struggle
Andrea's POV:
"Fugnaaaa~!!!" Grim blow one last fireball and I managed to round up all the ghosts in one place, as I swing my candle stand around, threaten them with the fire on the candles. "Hee, heeeeeeee! We're goners! Runaway~~!!" The ghosts scream before one by one, they all disappeared. I blew the candles out and sighed. Boy, who knew fighting ghosts can be so exhausting? I sat down on one of the stair steps as I placed the candle stand beside me. "E, eh? We... won?" Grim asked curiously, "We sure did, Grim," I said with a smile, "We sure did." Grim collapsed beside me and sighed heavily, "Ha-hee.. That was sc... Um! No, I wasn't scared at all! This is nothing for the Great Grim! How 'bout that, ghosts? You done?" Grim, sounding confident, turned to where the ghosts disappeared, but I can tell he was scared because his legs are shaking a little. But I decided not to say anything and let him have his moment as I smile at him.
As we rested, I heard footsteps coming towards us, on instinct, I grabbed the candle stand and was ready to fight, but it was only Crowley walking towards us with a tray of food. "Good evening. I have graciously brought you supper." His smile faded however when he saw Grim standing next to me, "You're the monster that ran amuck during the orientation!" Grim jumped and quickly hid behind my legs, "I threw you out of the school, what are you doing here?!" "Hmph! I exterminated the ghost problem! Be grateful!" Grim said with a grin as he peaks out from behind me, "Nn? What do you mean by that?" "I'll explain everything, Headmaster." I reassured him and I began to explain what happened. Except for the part where I found my gym bag in one of the rooms. After explaining, Crowly looked at Grim with an understanding look, "Now that you mention it, there were some prankster ghosts living here, so students keep away from his dormitory and that's why it's now empty. I'd forgotten that. However, huummm... For you two to work together to get rid of them."
"As much as I want to say we didn't work together, but we did." Grim said, "Plus, she's scary when she's angry." I rolled my eyes at Grim with a small smile, "I'd like the two of you to show me how you exterminated those ghosts." Crowley said, "But we already gotten rid of all the ghosts!" Grim said, "I shall be the ghost. If you beat me, I'll give you tuna cans. For I am gracious." Crowley explains, is this dude testing us? Crowley pulled out a bottle filled with strange liquid, drinks it and turns into a ghost.
Before I can say anything, Grim complain, "Eeeeeh. I don't wanna. This is a pain and I have to team up with her again..." "What did you say?" I said with a glare, "Eeep! I said, uh... I don't wanna fight again!" Grim quickly changed his words, I kneeled down and whispered in his ear, "This might be your chance to get into the school, Grim." His eyes widen at the idea, before letting out an annoyed sigh and said, "Fine! This is the last time!" I nodded and grabbed my candle stand and got into my fighting stand while Grim stood in front of me, wait for my navigation like before and started to fight against the headmaster.
