To Crowley's slight relief and disappointment, they managed to bribe you with a decent amount of money. But that didn’t save him from your gaze.

"Hey! Can someone explain to me what a "Spelldrive tournament" is?!" - Grim shouted irritably, and you also became a little curious.

"Dude...You've never heard of Spelldrive?!" - Ace asked the cat loudly, to which he just shrugged.
"It's a world-famous sport! There's even a pro league and a world championship tournament." - Deuce looked at Grim expectantly.
"I ain't never heard of this either!" - the cat shook his head.

"Spelldrive is a sport played by competing teams of seven people. Basically, players battle for control of a disc and earn points by drivin' it into the enemy team's goal. The team with the most points wins!" - ginger explained.

"Oh, man, I just realized that Y/n would have a hard time actually playing." - Ace said a little teasingly and shook his head.
"Huh? Why the hell?" - you looked at him threateningly.
"Yeah? Why's that?" - Grim.

"You need magic to play. Not only do you move the disc with magic, but you use it to attack and defend, too. The flashier the magic, the better - it's how players show off their skills." - Deuce replied.
"Although, on the other hand, Y/n doesn’t even need magic to attack..." - he said more quietly to which Ace nodded with a painful grimace.

"Yes, quite! That is why Night Raven College is known throughout the world as a leader in the sport! This school has produced countless pro players! That's why our interdorm Spelldrive tournaments attract attention even from pro league recruiters. Also, those simply looking for up-and-coming magicians use the event to scout hopeful candidates. Yes, the tournament is quite an affair. The campus will be full of visitors and lined with various kiosks. And the main event will be captured by television cameras and broadcast worldwide " - Crowley intervened and said proudly.

"It's broadcast throughout the world?! So you're sayin' that if I were to play in this tournament - and win of course - the whole world would see it?!" - Grim asked with stars in his eyes.
"Of course! Players who excel at the tournament invariably attract great attention. Both from the pro leagues and the public at large!" - Crowley.

"Something similar to the UA sports festival." - you muttered quietly, but Deuce heard you.
"UA Sports Festival?" - he asked again.

"A festival organized by academy UA. Classes compete with each other to show off their quirks and skills in order to attract the attention of pro-heroes." - you quickly explained. They looked at you curiously, except for Grim, who was thinking about something.

"Hmm. Could you tell us a little more? It might help in the search." - Crowley suggested.
"*Sigh* The UA Festival is one of the most popular events in the whole world. The festival itself is divided into three stages and after each the participants are elected and their number is becoming smaller. At first it's usually an obstacle race, then a random challenge and at the end a one-on-one battle." - you, already regretting that you started this, explained to them irritably.

"Hm, hm. Very interesting...I'll look for something about it." - Crowley clapped his hands with satisfaction.
"Hey! I've decided! I'm gonna train around the clock, join a team, and become a legend!" - Grim finally snapped out of his thoughts and exclaimed proudly.

"Alas, Grim, you cannot enter." - Crowley interrupted his dreams.
"...Wait, what?" - The cat bowed his head in confusion.
"Did you not hear me speak the word "interdorm" multiple times? Your dorm doesn't even have seven members. Therefore, you cannot enter the tournament."

"Whaaaaaat?! No faaaaair!" - Grim stomped his paw and pouted.
"But there's plenty else to do, from tending to the grounds to selling drinks in the stands! Those who stand upon the field are not the only stars of the tournament day." - Crowley again tried to force the cat to do dirty work.
