3rd POV:
"Finally, he’s awake! We didn’t know what to do if you stayed unconscious, yanno? Alright, confess to all your crimes now." Grim stated.

"Huh…? What’d you say?" Leona asked confused.

"Kingscholar. You went into Overblot after all those negative feelings consumed you. Do you not remember?" The headmage explained.

"I went berserk… Overblot? You’ve gotta be kidding me…" Leona said in disbelief.

"Forget that! The Magical Shift Tournament is about to start! If you don’t confess now, I won’t be able to participate in the match!" Grim trying to hurry the process up.

"Huh? What the heck?" Leona was once again confused.

"These guys were chasing after you because the Headmaster promised them that they could compete in the tournament." Jack explained.

"Eh? Just for that?" Ruggie deadpanned.

"It’s not that simple! I mean, you guys injured people because of the tournament, too!" Grim argued back.

"Th-that’s… That’s true, but…" Ruggie tried to defend themselves.

"So, it is safe to assume that you boys are behind the consecutive accidents?" Mr. Crowley assumed.

"Yeah, that’s right." Leona admitting defeat.

"I understand. Now then, Savanaclaw will have to be disqualified from the competition. And then, you shall have to apologize to everyone you’ve injured. Am I understood?" Crowley stated.

"… Got it." Leona agreed.

"Please wait, Headmaster." Riddle grabbed everyone's attention.

"Rosehearts? And if I’m correct, you all are…" Headmage said.

"Yes, they are the victims." Riddle stated.

"Headmaster, we have a request as the victims in this case. Can you please let Savanaclaw participate in the tournament?" Trey requested.

"Come again? Are you saying that you forgive them?" Mr. Crowley asked in a shock of disbelief.

"You guys…" Ruggie said.

"No, we’re not forgiving them." Jamil stated.
"We can’t get our revenge if you don’t let them participate in the tournament." Trey explained.

"EH!?" Ruggie yelled in shock.

"Revenge…!?" Jack yelped.

"Magic can’t be used on others for personal reasons inside the school." Riddle explained.

"But Magical Shift is a competitive sport, isn’t it? I guess you could call it… A sport where you can go all out with magic against your opponents on the field?" Trey added.

"Yeah… I won’t feel satisfied if I don’t get to hit you once."

"‘Tis a duel! Do not back away now!"

"I don’t know what happened, but you guys from Savanaclaw already look so tired." Jamil said.

"We now know who the culprit is, and now we just want to get our revenge right out there on the field." Trey said.

"You said it yourself, right, Leona-kun~? Using magic on the field isn’t against the rules~" Cater mocking the lazy lion.

"I would usually be against using such a traditional event to settle disputes, but… Trey wanted to do it no matter what, so I’ll turn a blind eye to it this time." Riddle stated.

"I understand how you all feel. However, I do not know if the Savanaclaw students are even fit to participate now. Specially since Kingscholar looks like he’s having a hard time just standing up. Hahahaha! Don’t underestimate me, Crowley. I can fight all these stupid herbivores in my sleep." The Headmage stated his concern.

"We’ll see." Jamil said.

"I don’t plan on apologizing anymore. Anyone who wants to hear a sorry will have to earn it by defeating me." Leona said.

"That’s the story, Headmaster. Will you allow it?" Trey asked.

"Good grief. I was the idiot for believing that you’ll all have a heartfelt talk. Very well. Savanaclaw Dorm will participate in the tournament. Plus as the Headmaster, I would like to avoid further scandal regarding the players." Mr. Crowley said, whispering the last part.

"Is this what adults are like!?" Yuu yelped.

"Alright, the audience are awaiting the players’ entrance. Let us make haste and get ready." Headmage said.

"I’ll take you on… Ah, that hurts …" Leona grunted.

"It’s not like I’ve already forgiven you, got it…" Ruggie said.

"Oh, really?" Leona raised a brow.

"But, I don’t know why… I just thought that I don’t want to see you making that helpless face again. That haughty attitude and smug grin of yours suit you better! Just like this!" Ruggie said.

[Laugh With Me]

"Ow…! Bastard! Ruggie…!" Leona yelled.

"Shishishi! I’fe always wanted to do this to ya." Ruggie snickered.

"Stop it…!" Leona demanded.

"What are you guys doing?" Jack sighed with a small smile.

"Ah, you smiled!" Yuu said.

"I-I didn't!" Jack stuttered, "You guys really helped me out a lot. Thanks to you, I can fight with my all now."

"We are enemies on the field from here on. We won’t go easy on you." Riddle said.

"I wouldn’t have it any other way!" Jack said.
