School is Strange is the third chapter of Yo-kai Watch 2.
Story[]
The protagonist is in their room, searching frantically for their homework. They decide to return to school to retrieve it. The player finds Mr. Johnson in the teachers office and asks for the keys to the classroom which he hands over. The protagonist finds their homework but their watch glows, showing a Yo-kai is nearby. Baku then appears behind them and attacks. Once defeated, they apologize, stating that they were just hungry. They explain that they eat dreams and the protagonist suggests they eat Whisper's dreams. They then give the protagonist their medal and the group leaves. Outside, a shadow looms over them and they run home. The protagonist's mother calls them to dinner, Whisper deciding that they'll discuss the incident later. In the protagonist's room, Whisper suggests they befriend stronger Yo-kai to take on the strange shadow at the school. In order to befriend stronger Yo-kai they must upgrade the Yo-kai Watch so must go to Timers & More.
The protagonist sleeps, with Baku eating their dreams. The next day, they head to Blossom Heights and to Timers & More. Outside, Detective Holdit is there who asks the protagonist to help him with catching Wanted Yo-kai. The group see that there is a note on the door of Timers & More saying the vendor is away. A woman passes, asking if they're looking for Mr. Goodsight and that she saw him chatting with the landlord at Wayfarer Manor. They decide to go over to find him however the landlord tells the protagonist that he just left to Gourd Pond. The protagonist notices he can see Whisper and he explains that he manages Wayfarer Manor, a place where Yo-kai can visit via Streetpass.
The protagonist goes to Gourd Pond Museum where Mr. Goodsight can be found in the Old Springdale exhibition. They ask him to upgrade their watch which he agrees to but says he'll look around the museum a little more so they can meet back up at the shop. Three Key Quests are now unlocked and must be completed to progress: Officially Official!, Bam-Boom! Fusing! and The Gates of Whimsy. As the protagonist returns to the ground floor, they are met by Diana Gately who heads to the vault, telling them to join her to help. This leads into The Gates of Whimsy quest.
After completing the key quests, the protagonist returns to Timers & More where Mr. Goodsight is waiting. Mr. Goodsight asks the protagonist to fetch him some Ancient Herbs from Chloro-Phil Good. The protagonist heads to the shop, receiving the Ancient Herbs. Back at Timers & More, the protagonist passes over the herbs but Mr. Goodsight mentions he's mislaid his screwdriver. He left it at Whatta Find in Shopper's Row that's only open at night. The protagonist mentions they're not allowed out at night but Baku then appears saying they can not only make them not tired but also pretend to be them in bed. The protagonist decides to head home to get ready to go out in the evening. At night, Baku takes away their tiredness and mimics them in bed with the protagonist able to sneak out. The protagonist visits Whatta Find through the Shopping Street Narrows and receives the Pro Screwdriver from the shopkeeper. Once outside, the protagonist is blocked from going back through the Shopping Street Narrows and once out onto the street they encounter Terror Time. The protagonist asks Whisper where to go but he's at a loss. Soon, the exit door appears, the three of them running out of Terror Time.
The protagonist returns to Timers & More, returning the screwdriver and Mr. Goodsight finally upgrades the watch. The player then heads to the school, finding a strange fog inside it. Whisper suggests they head upstairs. Along the corridors, the protagonist hears a rumbling and a giant capsule rolls down the corridor sending the group running back into a classroom. The three of them climb to the roof, once they're there, differently coloured gacha balls fall, one trapping Whisper and whisking him away. Gutsy Bones appears above the school, starting a fight. Once Gutsy Bones is defeated, the protagonist and Jibanyan leave, thinking they may have forgotten something but still leave. Whisper is shocked, still trapped in the gacha ball.
At the protagonist's home the next day, they apologise to Whisper and he gives them the Yo-kai Watch Blasters app. The protagonist later goes on an errand in Shopper's Row. They overhear two schoolgirls talking about a rumour of things getting really big. Suddenly, down the street, one of a woman's doughnuts appears huge and above them appears a huge blue Yo-kai that turns more items huge. The Yo-kai notices the protagonist has a Yo-kai Watch and asks them to go to Harrisville to help them.
