The chapter starts out with Yuuken's normal life helping his fellow members of the kendo club at his school. Yuuken promises a newcomer, Saya, that he will help them with kendo training for the upcoming kendo tournament. After school, Yuuken encounters a black carriage and somehow gets transported to Twisted Wonderland.
Upon waking up, Yuuken breaks himself free and finds himself in an unfamiliar place. The headmaster, Dire Crowley, mistakes Yuuken for a new student and believes he's still lucid from transportation. Confused and furious, Yuuken grabs his shinai and demands to know where he is and what college he's been transported to. After Crowley tells him about Night Raven College, Yuuken refuses to enroll in the school because he can't use magic, and he attempts to leave the ceremony to find a way out. Suddenly, Grim jumps through the window, willing to take Crowley's offer to become a student in Yuuken's place. Furious for being mistaken as a tanuki by Yuuken and made fun of by other unnamed students, Grim starts his rampage by setting the ceremony on fire with his magic. When Riddle orders Grim to leave the ceremony immediately, and Grim blasts him with his magic, Yuuken tackles Riddle out of the way, but he gets injured. Yuuken asks Riddle if he's okay after saving him, but Riddle isn't happy about it and pushes him off. Riddle prepares to use his magic on Grim. Riddle uses his signature spell, "Off With Your Head!," and collars him. When attempting to remove the collar and use his magic, Grim realizes he can't due to Riddle's signature spell. The chapter ends with Crowley having subdued Grim, and Riddle approaches Yuuken and threatens him that if he ever gets his way again, he shall have his head.

- In the comic, Yuuken got transported to Night Raven College at the beginning of the ceremony instead of before the ceremony began like in the game.

- Yuuken did not get tested to see if he can use magic or not by the Dark Mirror. Instead, he refuses to enroll in Night Raven College because he's already a student from another school.
