For hours long, everyone trained their defensive magic spells till they couldn't anymore while y/n sparred against Jamil. True to his words, he went easy on her due to the fact that she doesn't know any fighting styles except just throwing her fist around randomly. He will admit that she's quick to adapt and learn though.

"That's all for today! Tomorrow afternoon we will march to the East Oasis. I won't go easy on slackers so be prepared!" Kalim announces before leaving, allowing the residents to slouch to the ground in exhaustion.

"... My arms and legs are throbbing..." Scarabia A wheezes as he lies flat on the ground,"Water... Someone, water..." Scarabia B pleads and y/n could only cup some water in her hands from the fountain before bringing it over to him, allowing the poor boy to drink from her hands,"Thank you..." he coughs as y/n rubs his back,"Slow breaths, pal, slow breaths." she tells him.

"And we have to march through the desert tomorrow..." Scarabia C whines with dread,"What's gotten into the dorm head? He wasn't like this before..." Scarabia A says and y/n took a mental note of that as she goes to retrieve Grim.

"... Is it over?" Grim asks with heavy breaths before y/n scoops him into her arms,"That guy was all laughs and smiles before, what the hell made him flip his switch so fast?" he questions the others,"He's probably worried about Scarabia's standing in the Magift Tournament and final exams..." Jamil tells them with a hand cupping his chin.

"He probably feels responsible." he concludes,"Has he always been like this when things go wrong for Scarabia?" y/n asks, Jamil shakes his head,"Lately, he's been really emotionally unstable." he tells her.

"That wasn't just some emotions going haywire, he was like a different person." Grim corrects him,"I've known him for a long time and Kalim is distressed over how to handle this. What he says is all over the place and he sometimes get iron-fisted... We can't keep up." Jamil explains with furrowed brows.

"The other residents had no problem following his instructions before, but recently we're all at a loss with his mood swings... Orders like the one we just got are becoming more frequent..." he adds,"That's horrible." y/n comments.

"It's only a matter of time before the residents' emotions come to a head and erupt. I've somehow managed to follow him so far, but... Even I'm starting to reach my limit." Jamil says with worry,"You and Trey from Heartslabyul sure have it rough." Grim notes with sympathy as he jumps out of y/n's arms, having finally caught his breath.

"Ah! That's right..." Jamil suddenly snatches up both of y/n's hands in his own,"You must be the 'diamond in the rough'!" he claims with confidence,"Huh? Come again?" Grim raises a brow at him and Jamil takes a step back.

"I've heard the rumors... You are extraordinary students that can solve any problem. You've already done it for Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw and even Octavinelle." Jamil tells them with a smile,"Huh, news travels fast I see." y/n utters with an awkward smile.

"Heh heh. You're right about that. They owe us big time for all our help!" Grim boasts with pride,"So now I ask of you, please help Scarabia through this as well." Jamil pleads as held y/n's shoulders this time,"Huh?" both Ramshackle Duo voice their baffled nature.

"I'm sure it was the workings of fate that brought us together in the cafeteria. If it's you two on the case you'll come up with a solution that's polished like a diamond!" Jamil exclaims as he leans in close to y/n, who's cheeks turned red as she looks to the side flustered.

"I... Jamil we..." she was at a loss for words, but Grim luckily had her back,"Don't go getting your hopes up just yet. I am amazing, but this and that are completely different things!" he tells Jamil before tugging on y/n's pants to catch her attention.

"...Hey, let's not get mixed up in yet another dorm's problems. I'm tired of having to clean up after others." he whispers to her and y/n nods,[I have to agree with Grim. As cruel as it sounds, I don't think my heart can take anymore of this blot situation.] she thought with conflict.

She's snapped out of her thoughts when Jamil gently turns her head back to him so that their eyes met, her blush returning when she noticed that he's a little too close for her liking,"I'm sure... You'll help us, right?" Jamil says with a smile as y/n's mind goes blank again.

"I understand! Please leave it to me!" she chirps absent-mindedly, shocking herself at her own words as Jamil finally steps back,"Ffgna!? Why did you agree without a second thought?" Grim exclaims with wide eyes,"I don't know!" y/n whispers to him.

"Aah! You'll help us? I'm so glad." Jamil says with a relieved smile,"Then I'd love for you to stay here in Scarabia as our honored guests." he says before clapping his hands twice and three Scarabia residents ran up to them.

"You called, vice dorm head?" Scarabia A says as all three stood straight like soldiers,"Please show them to the guest room." Jamil orders,"Yessir!" the Scarabia trio nod before leading the Ramshackle Duo to their temporary room.

"Then, please enjoy your stay." Scarabia B says kindly and then leaves, closing the door behind him as he does so,"Uuuuuuuggghh! I told you to walk away! Why do you love getting involved in crap like this!? Scarabia needs to solve their own problems on their own." Grim whines as he glares up at y/n, who plops herself onto the bed.

"I actually wanted to refuse him, but something came over me and before I knew it, I agreed." y/n tells him with a sigh, causing Grim to also sigh as he jumps onto the bed next to her,"You're the type of soft-hearted sucker that gets caught up in the moment. Though you can be scary sometimes too..." he says softly as he crawls into the girl's lap.

"Anyway, I'm not getting wrapped up in another dorm's problems again. Let's sneak outta here and get back to Ramshackle Dorm!" he tells her firmly and y/n nods before getting up, forcing Grim to jump off her lap as they both made their way for the door.

"Okay, first let's get back to the mirror so we can get back to school..." Grim is cut off by the loud sound of a whistle blowing, causing them both to jump in surprise,"What's that sound!?" Grim yelps as footsteps ran towards them.

"You two! What is the meaning of this!?" Scarabia A shouts,"During winter vacation, it doesn't matter who you are, nobody is allowed to leave without the dorm head's permission!" Scarabia B yells,"Seize them!" Scarabia A orders,"After them! Stop right there!" some of the other Scarabia residents yell as they ran towards the Ramshackle Duo.

"The hell!?" Grim jolts in surprise before he's immediately snatched up by his scruff while two more Scarabia residents restrains y/n by her arms,"Ow! Hey, watch it!" she yelps while another Scarabia A held some rope,"Get tied by the rope like a good, gray, little mouse!" he spat as he ties Grim up.

"I might be gray, but I'm no mouse! Let go!" Grim yells as he wiggles around,"Stop struggling and just get back in the room!" Scarabia B grunts as he struggles to hold Grim properly still. After restraining both Ramshackle members, they're then escorted forcefully back to their room and quite literally shoved in there.

"Get in there!" Scarabia A spat as he held Grim tightly by his scruff,"Jeez, these guys are a handful." he sighs,"Owowowow! Don't just grab me by the scruff and drag me around, y'know!" Grim whines before he tossed to the ground followed by y/n being forcefully pushed inside.

"I guess the guy that's supposed to be watching them forgot to lock their door." Scarabia B notes,"For crying out... Make sure it's actually locked this time! Do you have any idea what would happen to us if the dorm head found out?" Scarabia A scolds,"You're right..." Scarabia B breaks out in nervous sweat.

Scarabia A then glares at the Ramshackle Duo,"We won't let you off easy if you pull a stunt like that again!" he warns before they leave, closing and locking the door right behind him,"Pendejos." y/n mutters with spite as she gets up from the ground.

"Let us out!" Grim screams as he knocks on the door and even jumps up to yank of the handle,"The door isn't budging. They really did lock us in." he frowns as he drops to the ground while y/n sat on the bed.

"Face it Grim, we're prisoners now. Our paradise just became our prison." she tells him as she drops her head into her cupped hands,"Is this how you treat guests? This is no different from being prisoners. I'm giving Jamil an ear full when we see him tomorrow!" Grim declares firmly.

"Oh, that's right. Didn't the headmaster give you that useful thing? What was it, a 'smart phone'? Have him come take care of Scarabia." he suddenly reminds y/n, who perks up,"Grim, you genius!" she grins as she pulls her phone out and dials Crowley's number.

"This is Crowley." they hear the headmaster's voice,"Oi, Headmaster! Things are a mess since you've been gone!" Grim immediately rants, but y/n holds up her hand to stop him.

"I'm currently down south for vaca..." they hear him clear his throat, but y/n knew what he was gonna say and it showed on her face how she felt about that man at that very moment,"Some very important work and have my phone turned off. If you have business please leave a message after the beep. Depending on how I feel I'll get back to you. For I am gracious." and with that, they hear a beep.

"Screw you!!! Didn't he just say vacation!?" Grim screech with anger,"What's even the point if we can't get ahold of you at times like this!? Shit! This guy is the personification of irresponsibility!" he rants while y/n brings the phone closer to her mouth with a pissed off expression.

"Listen now and listen well, Crowley. Para cuando regreses a la escuela, tu oficina volverá a tener una nota adhesiva y no dudaré en rociar graffiti en las caras de los Siete Grandes, así como en tu oficina. Y confía en mí, me aseguraré de que sea permanente. ¡Y después de eso, prenderé fuego a tu estúpida capa de plumas y te haré un pavo asado! That's all." y/n then ends the call while Grim looks at her with wide eyes and droopy ears.

He may not have understood what the girl said at that moment, but he knew she was damn pissed at Crowley.

He managed to regain his composure,"Let's try Ace and Deuce for now, y'know. Not that I think they'll be any help..." he suggests,"Good idea, but I'll leave them a message. They might be busy, so they won't answer their phone." y/n mumbles, feeling slightly better after threatening Crowley.

'SOS! Trapped in Scarabia against our will! Come help us immediately!'

Short and simple, y/n thought as she sends the messages to her friends before deciding to go to bed. Nothing better to do anyway. Though, not to her surprise, she found herself stirring in her sleep while, unaware to her, the mirror back at Ramshackle glowed once more.

Her eyes snaps open and she finds herself sitting on some stairs in a very elegant throne room,"Now this is what I call a dazzling palace." she whistles with impressed eyes as she gets up.

Before her appears the same slim man from the other night and his pet bird, and a short, jolly man dressed in white elegant clothing. Y/n immediately knew he was the king, or sultan in this case, since he's sitting on the throne.

"It has to be a prince." the sultan says firmly, but the lean man steps forward and held a snake staff with glowing red eyes right up to the sultan's face,"Desperate times call for desperate measures." the man says and y/n flinches when the room flashes red for the briefest of moments.

"You shall order the princess to marry me." the man says and y/n saw the sultan became dazed,"The princess will marry..." he mutters before they all hear music coming from outside,"What? What is this noise?" the sultan questions, having been snapped out of whatever transe he was put in.

"Aladdin..." Y/n whispers before she then suddenly finds herself in the middle of the dirt road as a grand parade marches towards her. She also spots a beautiful girl in elegant clothing staring at the parade from atop a balcony,"Jasmine..." she whispers another name, not questioning anything this time since she knows it's futile to figure out how she knows all of them.

"Make way for Prince Ali!" the parade sang as the head of the parade dances by y/n,"Prince Ali is coming through!" they shout as y/n dodges the dancers,"Whoa!" she yelps as he arches her back to avoid another one.

"Then come and meet his spectacular coterie!" the head sang and y/n couldn't help but laugh for some strange reason as the scene fills her entire being with joy,"Fabulous he! Ali Ababwa." y/n sang along with the head,"Haha, genie..." she laughs with a shake of her head as her vision slowly goes dark.

"So, I dreamt about a sultan and his vizier along with a parade in the desert. That was wacky. Still, better than that hyena march." she tells herself before falling back asleep.

The next morning, her eyes fluttered open the moment the first sun's rays hit her eyelids and she sits up with a small yawn,"Mmggh... I don' need no more crackers... Mmnyyaa..." Grim mumbles in his sleep, snuggling into y/n's side.

Y/n smiles at him, but that soon dissappears when she hears the door being unlocked before the Scarabia resident barges into the room,"How long do you plan to stay asleep!? Get up!" he yells, scaring Grim awake,"Ffnga!? What's going on!?" he yelps before looking at the clock.

"... It's only 6am, y'know." he notes with droopy eyes,"We will march ten kilometers to the East Oasis this morning!" Scarabia A announces,"You want us to walk ten kilometers over hot sand!? Why do we have to?" Grim asks with a baffled expression and the boy approaches their bed.

"Stop your whining, you've been ordered to join by the dorm head! So come!" he yells as he snatches Grim by his scruff,"Ffgyaa! No way, no way~ Let go of me!" Grim cries out and before the boy could take him away, he flinches when a strong hand wraps painfully tight around his wrist that held Grim.

He looks at it then up the arm right towards the owner, only to flinch at the dark glare he's receiving from her,"Hey pal, would you mind dropping my little Buddy? I don't appreciate people manhandling him like a doll." y/n says through gritted teeth as she tightens her grip, causing the boy to yelp and flinch in pain as he's forced to release Grim.

Y/n then slowly stood up from her bed and starts to push against the boy's arm, forcing him to walk backwards,"Also, I don't know who you think you are nor where you came from, but it's decent manners to knock on a girl's bedroom door instead of downright barging in! What if I was changing, huh? Well pal? What do you have to say for yourself and your pathetic excuse of manners?" she spat each word like venom, intimidating the boy before her as he's forced out of her room.

With a bit of her strength, y/n shoves him backwards and gives him one last glare,"Now, you're gonna wait there patiently until I'm finished freshening up, we clear amigo?" she hisses and the boy could only nod in silence before the door in slammed right in his face.

Y/n sighs as she brushes her bangs back before deciding to hurry up and finish freshening herself up. She doesn't wanna see what would happen if she or Grim were late for the march.

Outside they all found themselves standing in a messy row while Kalim stood upon an elephant on his howdah at the very front,"Now begin your march to the East Oasis! Consider this leg day." the dorm head shout as he points forward,"Anyone who falls behind will be dealt with later!" he adds with a warning tone.

"Ugh, this is gonna be a nightmare already..." y/n mumbles,"Why does stuff like this always happen to me..." Grim whines with dread, already feeling the heat of the sun burning his being,"Move your legs, not your mouth. March!" Kalim shouts.

With quiet groans and whines from everything, they reluctantly follow after their leader through the treacherous heat of a desert.

"There! You're falling behind!" Kalim points at Grim with a glare after some time of walking,"... Give us a break already..." Grim wheezes as sweat drips down his body,"No slacking! Keep marching!" Kalim shouts and y/n wipes some sweat off her brows.

"If this is as far as you go then it's proof of your lack of discipline! You have no one to blame but yourself." Kalim states while Jamil just stays silent during the whole ordeal before he and y/n exchange brief conflicted looks and then continue their march.

"You're slowing down! Lift those legs!" Kalim shouts at one of his dorm-mates,"I'm... I'm at my limit..." the boy pants as he rests his hands on his knees while y/n tries to provide Grim with a little bit of shade with her jacket.

"You... It's no wonder that you've fallen to the bottom in Magift and exams!" Kalim glares spitefully at the poor boy,"So hot! Need water! I'm more parched than this desert!" Grim pants with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

"Jamil, how much farther?" y/n asks, the heat was starting to get to her as well,"The oasis is just a bit further. Hang in there." Jamil informs them with a little bit of encouragement,"Right. Come on Grim, just a bit more." y/n pants and Grim reluctantly nods before literally following her in her shadow.

Y/n doesn't mind that he's using her for shade, because she herself is worried that he might faint from the extreme heat,[Please let there be water...] she pleads in her head.
