Night Raven College - Woods Behind Campus
"Whoa! There really are a ton of chestnuts layin' around. I'm gonna be livin' large in chestnut tarts! Mmm!" Grim said when we arrived, just like Grim said a bunch of chestnuts were on the ground. I slowly touched one and thankfully I learned they are prickly...
Unfortunately Grim was a little too quick, "Yowch! Myah! The chestnut spined pricked my paws!" I quickly kneeled in front of Grim and took off the thorns from his paws. I rubbed them gently as I said a little tune, "Sana sana colita de rana, si no se sana hoy, sanara manana" (My parents still do this to my siblings) Grim sniffled a bit but when looked at me, "M/n what are you saying" I smiled gently as i petted his ears, "It's a tune that my first mentor ever sang to me when I got injured and cried." (It just a headcanon of mine)
Grim nodded and I carried him in my arms as I looked at Ace and Deuce, who were looking at each other for some reason. "Guys we need supplies to pick up the chestnuts, Grim already got injured picking up some" they both snapped as Ace nodded, "Maybe we can find some supplies in the botanical garden?" Deuce nodded, "Let's go take a look."
Botanical Garden - Temperate Zone
"Woah" I looked around the garden to see so many plants growing here. The other three were also in amaze as we looked around, "I didn't realize this place was so huge." Deuce nodded as he looked at us, "If it's this large, it's got to have a groundskeeper. Let's split up and look."
"Sure. Dibs on the right side." Ace said as he pointed at a right path. "Then how about I go left, while Grim and his prefect go straight ahead?" I nodded as we all went our ways.
I was holding Grim tightly knowing the little beast will goble any food he finds. As we walked Grim pointed at a tree, "Hey, look at this! There's a ton of fruit growing there! Smells like they're ripe as well, too" I smiled as I started to walk over to the tree but I stopped when I felt like I stepped on something and a low growl was heard.
"I think I might have stepped on something" I said quietly as I looked at a lion tail disappearing into some bushes and a figure slowly rising. It was a tan figure with thick dark-brown hair that goes below his shoulders in length, long side-parted bangs falling over its eyes. Two sections of its hair were braided and tied. Then I was looked on my emerald green eyes and a thin scar over his left eye. Shockingly those eyes felt familiar and even more shocking they had lion ears and a tail
which looked way too similar to Scar...
"You got some nerve steppin' on my tail!" The Scar look alike said as he growled at me. If his appearance to Scar isn't the scary part then it might be his height. He seemed to tower over me. But I quickly snapped as I spoke apologetically, "Am sorry I didn't see your tail in the path, I know lion tails or any tail in fact can be super sensitive." I said as I had a hand on Grim's mouth, knowing he was going to say something that might upset the lion.
"Ain't nothin' worse than bein' in the middle of a good nap and havin' some jerk step on your tail. But at least you do know how painful it is" He said as he scowled at me but then his eyes widen a bit, "You..." I pointed at myself, "I know you. You're that cub from orientation who didn't get placed in a dorm cause none of them were suitable." Wait what...
am a cub?
I quickly brushed it of as I nodded and then he pointed at my hand, "Lift your hand up" I quickly did and the lion sniffed it. This didn't freak me out since most animals will sniff you before being comfortable around you. Maybe that's what happening.
"Huh? You apparently have magic and have been seen using a weapon of some sort yet I don't smell anything." I put my hand down as Grim got on my shoulder and whispered in my ear, "I dunno what's up with this guy, but when he looks at me, it makes every follicle of fur stand on end..."
The lion shook his head as he looked at me, "No one gets to stomp on my tail especially by a cub and walk away without a price. I'm in a bad mood on account of bein' woken up from my nap, too"
"Fair enough" I said bluntly, Grim looked at me in shock as well as the lion, "What so your going to put up a fight then" he said as he chuckled. I shook my head, "Maybe not by fighting but I can do anything to make up for it, trust me I know how painful a lion tail getting stepped on is."
Sora accidentally stepped on my tail when we were lions in the Pride Lands and trust me it's not pretty. I did it to him back so we were even.
The lion sighed as he put a hand on his forehead and mumbles something to himself. "Leona! There you are!" We both perked up as we see another boy walking towards us, "I knew I'd find you here! We got after-school classes today, remember?" I looked at the boy and he looked at me while Leona mumbled something.
"Hi" I said as I waved at him, he waved back. He the looked at the lion with a frown, "Leona, you've already had to repeat one year. If you get held back again, we'll be in the same grade!"
'Leona' scowled as he looked at the hyena, "Oh, put a sock in it already. i'm tired of all yer yappin', Ruggie" 'Ruggie' shook his head as he looked at Leona, "Look, you think I like always being in your case? C'mon, man. You act like it'd be hard for you. You could skate through life if you'd TRY. Come on! Let's go already!"
Leona growled but then looked at me and ruffed my hair one last time as he had a frown on his face, "Next time you decided to do something stupid or stink up my territory, I might take up that little offer of yours, little cub" he chuckles and walks away with Ruggie.
I stood there confused on why am getting called a little cub. If anything he was kinda right, I was a lion cub when I was in the Pride Lands but no one knew that besides Sora,Donald, Goofy and the whole Pride Lands.
Leona's Pov
"Hey Leona. Why did you call the shortie a cub? He ain't a beastmen the last time I check plus he isn't the shortest or the youngest in this school." Ruggie said as I remember the strange smell that radiated off the cub.
"I didn't smell magic on him but I did smell something similar to what a child lion beastmen would smell and for some reason instead of calling him a herbivore like the others, the word cub just spilled and I ended up calling him that." Ruggie nods a bit as we continue walking.
My tail still hurted but the thought of someone who doesn't cower in fear even after hearing my name. What an idiot of a cub....

"He wasn't that bad Grim"
"He was about to fight you!" Grim said as we put on gloves after Ace found them. "Yeah, no way was that guy the groundskeeper plus what was he thinking of calling you a cub. Your not the shortest person here, you beat our housewarden by an inch and that Lilia guy and purple hair boy seemed way shorter than you."
I shrugged as we started to pick up chestnuts, while Grim did an eat one then place the other in the basket type of thing. "Y'know, now that I think about it, he WAS wearin' the golden vest of that Pajama-clog dorm." I snorted as I try to speak, "Savanaclaw...Savanaclaw, Grim" Grim oh'ed as he continue.
"You know, I'm starting to think that there's an awful lot of delinquents here at Night Raven..." Deuce said as he looked regretting about something.
It was quite for an hour until Ace spoke up and wipe sweat off his forehead, "All right, that should be enough chestnuts. Let's get these baskets over to Trey!" I smiled as I took off my gloves and grabbed a basket. When we got out of the woods I looked around for a moment and then summoned Sleep Lion and made it into a smaller version of what my keyblade glider looks.
How does this happen? No one knows one moment it you can do it and the next thing you can't.
We all placed the baskets on it. Ace looked at me "Should I a-" "Don't ask" Ace nodded as well as Deuce until he didn't "Wait did we not ask on what M/n did yesterday, those tiny people who build a giant tower for him and then he came down and finishing it up, it lasted like only a few moments" We looked at each other as Grim ate a chestnut. It was quiet for a moment and at the same time "Naaaa" and started walking back to school.

Night Raven College - Kitchen
"Welcome back. Looks like you got plenty!" Trey said as we all entered with the baskets in our arms. We placed them on the kitchen counter as Grim got on my head, "Now you can make us some massive tarts!" Trey chuckled, "Well, the bigger the tarts, the harder it'll be to peel all these nuts, so good luck with that!"
I went over and started to wash my hands as well as Grim's paws when I grabbed him off my head. We all started to peel the shells off.
Ace was still collared so the ability to have magic to peel of the shells wasn't an option for him. Deuce was getting tired as Grim was doing the peel one and then eat the other one kind of thing.
After a while we were done and Ace and Deuce gave a sigh of relief. "There! Finally got 'em all pureed! Ace said as he rubbed his shoulder while Deuce leaned into a counter, "My arm is killing me" Trey was smiling as he pat my head and talk to the others, "I just need to add butter and sugar to the chestnuts paste, and sensible splash of oyster sauce....GREAT SEVEN!"
...
(Is it fixed? Oh it is, alright let's continue it)
M/n was about to beat up Trey for thinking about putting oyster sauce in a pastry. The guts this man has for saying this in front of a person who was trained by a professional rat chef
(Ok seriously back to the story)
"Are you okay in the head Trey?" I said as I looked at him in shock, "Oyster sauce is a very salty thing so if anything it will make the pastry taste salty instead of sweet. Not only that it can ruin the experience for anyone who is about to try it." Trey chuckled, "I didn't see you as someone who knew something about cooking."
"Wait so you were about to prank us!" Ace said in shook as Trey laughed, "Well ya, it's a little prank I do to people new to cooking but I didn't think M/n even cooked or knew something about baking. But in the end its should be a lesson on not believing everything you hear."
I decided to look around the kitchen for a moment, it was packed with somewhat decent cooking ingredients and supplies. Why can I hear Donald saying 'This might be a good spot to find some ingredients'. I shutter as Deuce called my name. "Hey M/n. Can you join me to the school store and pick up somethings for Trey"
"Sure" I started to walk as Grim got on my head, "I'm comin' too! I'm getting dizzy from all this stirrin'. I need a break!" I chuckled as we followed Deuce out of the kitchen.
Mister's S Mystery Shop
"Whoa what's that" I said as I went over to some crazy looking masks. Deuce and Grim on the other hand was looking for the shop owner for the ingredients and items Trey needs. I continue to look around, this place was wild. Anything can be found here, what if he had Gummy ship parts....
Na. I continue to look around and then something caught my eye.
(Pretend the Night Raven one is the one I drew which I will also show if your forgot how it looks)
I got the pack as I went over to Deuce and Grim and see a man. They had magenta eyes, with black and purple locks flipped over the right side of his head, and an undercut. He seemed to be wearing a maroon blazer, a bright purple vest that had skeleton buttons. A hat that seemed to be sewn together by maroon and black parts, a small skull pin that was on a red clothing that wrapped the hat. He had a necklace that seemed to be made of bones and a black apron.
When I walked over the man noticed me, "Why, hello there little imp. I didn't see you with your little friends here but either ways my name is Sam nice to meet you little imp." I smiled as I stretched my arm for a shake, which he shook. "My name is M/n, nice to meetcha Sam." Sam nodded as he handed some bags to Deuce.
I quickly realized that I still was holding the pins. I grabbed some tuna nerby and then placed them on the counter. "I will like to purchase these" Sam nodded as he picked up the pins, but his expression turned into shock. "Well now, am familiar with every dorm here but I never once seen this logo or heard any mention of a Ramshackle dorm."
Grim got on my shoulder as he hugged the side of my head and then he looked at Sam, "Well that's cause me and M/n are in that dorm, just for us two." Sam nodded as he placed the pins and cans of tuna in a bag, "That is gonna be 7 madol" I quickly took out some ticket like looking money...wait when did I have that?!
I shook my head as I reached down my pocket to feel an intense amount of the things in my pocket. I was surprised but then I saw a notebook which I quickly grabbed and Sam rung up. After I paid and got my bag along with another bag from Deuce we walked out and said goodbye to Sam.
When did I have money or the currency of this place...
Am sorry this took long, it was supposed to come on the weekend but I didn't have time. Now I have school too and my sleep schedule is ruining me.
Sorry but update might take longer now.
New information.
1. M/n is slowly starting to smell like a lion cub to the beastmen people. Leona smelt it first due to him being a lion as well.
2. M/n knows he gets Munny when he defeats not powerful enemies like the Heartless and Nobodies, even when he sells stuff he doesn't need just like Sora.
3. The first monster M/n defeated wasn't consider as a powerful enemy despite M/n using his link (one shotting a weak enemy ain't cool) so he got money, a shit ton.
4. Sam isn't the only person who is barely finding out on the new dorm.
5. Crowley has no idea or recollection of ever creating a dorm, especially one for the Ramshackle. He never asked Crewel to have the sigil on M/n's clothing at all which is making him a bit paranoid.
6. Someone who isn't a beastmen also smelt the lion cub scent but wasn't able to go check cause they were attending a poison queen.
Incorrect quote
M/n: I can cook any dish easily, I can perfect them after 2 tries.
Trey: That's amazing! Who taught you.
M/n: A master chef rat
Trey: What!
M/n: Yep, even my friend Sora can cook, but he still needs little Chef to control his movements.
Trey: ..., Are you okay?!
M/n: Ya why are you asking.
