"Oi Leona, these guys are causing a ruckus out there." Ruggie informs much to his dismay.
"Seriously?" Leona grumbles.
"You're not gonna get out of this one Leona, now get up!" Ruggie nags.
"Fine, fine, I'm getting up. Just stop nagging me." Leona complains.
"I don't enjoy nagging you Leona." Ruggie retorts with an annoyed look.
"Whatever." Leona snarks as he got up and the duo head straight to the entrance only to find someone punching someone out.
"What the-"
"That's for harassing me." Glory snarks. Both of them blink their eyes when they turn to recognize the ravenette that was rumored to be the next Mother Gothel.
"Eh? That's the girl I met yesterday and this morning." Ruggie points out.
"You've met her this morning?" Leona ask curiously looking down at him.
"Yeah, but we didn't talk. Though...." Ruggie looks on to see the redhead punk about to tackle her as he raise his fist to the air and punch Glory, but she blinded him with her light magic causing both Leona and Ruggie to cover their eyes.
"Aah my eyes!" The redhead punk wince as he falls back to the ground covering his eyes in pain slightly shocking Leona and Ruggie.
"That's for calling a crone." Glory remarks.
"She does have a feisty side and quite sassy." Ruggie remarks with a grin.
"Hmph, she's tough.." Leona compliments though he looks a bit impressed, but they both watch Glory beat up the last punk.
"Raaaaaah!!"
"Annnd..."
Glory then ducks down and punch his gut.
"Gah! Ack!" The dark brunette whimpers and Glory lifts her right leg up to swoop her leg down to his head slamming him against the hard concrete shocking her friends. Leona and Ruggie were speechless when they witnessed an herbivore turning into an untamed and unpredictable lioness with her grey eyes that strikes fear in the eyes on her foes as she looks down on the three punks.
"That's for calling me an ugly crone, Sh#theads." Glory retorts bluntly as she puts her glove back on to her left hand. Soon the three punks slowly attempt to rise back up giving her glares. Though stunned, Leona sighs and puts his hands on his hips as he heard one of the punks about to snark back at Glory before he could strike back.
"You f#*king bi-"
Knock it off." Leona ceases as soon as everyone heard his voice when everyone glances up to see Leona and the vice dorm, Ruggie standing before him.
It's him and Ruggie!
Glory thought while she, her friends, and the three savanaclaw punks stand before Savanaclaw's head dorm.
——————————
As they stood before Savanaclaw's head dorm and vice dorm, the three punks immediately got up and face two leaders of Savanaclaw.
"Dorm Head Leona!" The dark brunette punk shouts.
"These guys are the ones who thoughtlessly encroached on our territory." The bright redhead explains.
"We're just rough 'em up a bit! He he he!" The white haired punk cackles. Glory curls her brows.
"And how is harassing me going to 'rough us up a bit'?" Glory ask skeptically as her friends came to her aid protecting her from the three savanaclaw punks. Leona rolls his eyes at them.
"Knock it off all of you. Don't do that to a woman." Leona informs them. Soon Ruggie flashes a grin at Glory and her friends.
"Sup Kitten." Ruggie casually greets her. Glory turns to him looking stoned face, but side smiles at him nevertheless.
"Sup Hyena." Glory jokingly greets him back causing Cater to turn to Glory with a dumbfounded look.
"Eeh? You know him Angel-chan?"
"We've met at the halls yesterday and this morning at the cafeteria." Glory explains to him shocking Cater.
"What? For real!?" Cater shrills.
"Haha see? What can I tell you? Guy-Magnet!" Ace jokes.
"Not the time, Ace." Glory grumbles shooting him with a warning glare. Ruggie chuckles and grins.
"Hehe yup. In the flash." Ruggie said as he turns to Ace, Deuce, and Grim.
"Though I have to ask. Aren't y'all the guys I met in the cafeteria?" Ruggie ask curiously.
"Aahhh, you! Deluxe menchi katsu sandwich!" Grim bellows with a glare.
"Whoa whoa whoa. Don't go around giving people delicious sounding names. I've got a very manly name, Ruggie Bucchi, y'know." Ruggie consoles him.
"Ah. You're the herbivore from yesterday's meeting that talks back to me and the one who stepped on my tail at the botanical garden." Leona said with a smirk irking the ravenette.
"Cuz you were getting into my personal space and you were so rude to me!" She snaps at him.
"Whaaat!? Dorm Head Leona's tail!?"
"No forgiving for that?!"
"As expected from Gothel's blood! How dare she stepped on the King's tail!?"
The Savanclaw punks criticized as they roared with rage at the Ravenette, but Glory rolls her eyes and keeps her eyes glued to Leona.
"Like I said before, it was an accident. I didn't know you were there." Glory bluntly reassures him.
"Wouldn't need an apology if 'sorry' fixed everything!" The dark brunette retorts. Ruggie than snaps his finger.
"Oi I said lay off." Leona defended.
"Yup. It was the botanical garden when we first met. I gotta say, you look pretty cute as I remembered." Ruggie remarks causing Glory to widen her eyes and blush when he called her 'cute'.
"Hey! Don't tease my henchman!" Grim shouts making her irritated again.
"Baka, I told you many times I'm not your henchman!" Glory retorts frowning at him causing the savanaclaw members to widen their eyes a bit before the three punks let out a laugh with Ruggie letting out a 'shishishisi' sound. Even Leona is chortling as well, but it was rather subtle.
"She sure is a feisty kitty huh dorm head?" The white haired punk ask while laughing.
"Pfft not wrong about that! Hahah!" Ruggie chuckles while Leona rolls his eyes at his rowdy dorm mates.
"And that's why you should never piss off women." Leona informs them. Soon they stopped chuckling as one of the punks approach Leona.
"Leona, Ruggie, let's show 'em who's boss!" The redhead punk suggests.
"Stop barking up a fuss, mutts. What're you gonna do if your little fit of violence interferes with the Magift Tournament?" Leona questions.
"You're saying we should just ignore these trespassers? But they're such tasty looking prey." The savanaclaw whited haired punk whines.
"Nobody said anything about ignoring them. We'll solve this 'peacefully' with a game of magical shift." Leona suggest with a smirk.
"With magift?" The dark brunette baffles.
"We can go crazy with magic during the game without breaking any rules." Leona instructs with a smug.
"Shishishi! Leona, you're such a bully. These guys don't look like they could handle more than one game." Ruggie sniggers.
"Mmggh mmggh mmggh! I'm not gonna just take that lyin' down!" Grim exclaims.
"We're actually doing this aren't we?" Glory mutters with a blank look.
"Ugh. Doesn't feel like we can refuse and go home." Deuce sighs shaking his head.
"Alright, let's do this. Cater! Don't forget about the tryouts." Ace encourages him.
"Eeeh~ Seriously? You're all hopeless~" He sighs as he turns to Glory.
"Looks like we're doing this after all, Angel-chan. Let's do our best!" Cater cheers making Glory sigh.
"Fine." Glory replies reluctantly.
—————-
Later at the stadium, Glory and the gang run in the field where they face off Leona and Ruggie.
"I'll show you what I'm made of!" Grim proclaims.
"Better get your trash talking done now. Shishishi." Ruggie snickers before glancing at Glory.
"Better not hold back Kitten!" Ruggie sneers making Glory smirk back.
"Oh trust me, I won't." Glory snarks back as she takes off the glove revealing her sundrop tattoo shocking Leona and Ruggie.
"Psst Leona, that tattoo on her hand. It looks-"
"Yeah..." Leona says as a smirk plasters on his face and cross his arms.
"She has the sundrop flower." He whispers.
"Shishishi! This is gonna be interesting!" Ruggie chuckles as Leona looks back at the group.
"Bring it on! It's no fun if you don't have a backbone. Then, come at us however you like, herbivores." Leona declares. Soon Glory walks up to Deuce, Grim, and Ace to whisper something into their ears.
"Follow me lead..." She whispers.
"Eh?"
"Trust me." She reassures and they all nod.
"Oi what's the hold up?" Ruggie asks as Glory smiles softly and approach them.
"Oh nothing, just wishing them good luck. Now let's begins, shall we?~" Glory boldly proclaims as she raise her left hand to the air causing the sun to brighten up the arena blinding both Ruggie and Leona.
"Gah!"
"Ack!"
Both of them wince while covering their eyes with their hands and arms. As the light fades, they slowly open their eyes but widens to see Glory disappear from their sight.
"What the-!?" Ruggie went speechless as he and Leona were shock to see her gone that quickly. Soon they heard a boom where they turn around to see a combination between Grim's blue flames and Ace's wind emerges as they both widen their eyes.
"Ruggie dodge!"
"Sh#t!"
Both of them immediately dodged from their attacks.
"Damn!" Ruggie shouts looking a bit surprised.
"Tsk." Leona snorts. Soon two cauldrons appeared and dropped but dodged again.
"Waah! Where are these cauldrons coming from!?" Ruggie shouts.
"Shut up and dodge!" Leona retorts as both of them dodge from multiple cauldrons as summoned by Deuce.
While the two are distracted by cauldrons dropping everywhere, a disc flew by them. This is Grim chance to leap to the air and grab the disc. Once he caught the disk, Grim chuckles and holds on to the disc with cocky smirk.
"Okay! Let's keeping bringing the heat!" Grim declares.
"Nice one, Angel chan!" Cater compliments.
"Hehehe thanks." Glory giggles while scratching the back of her head.
"I agree with Cater. That was clever of you to use the sun blind them then have Ace and Grim ambush them from behind with their combine magic and have me summoning cauldrons to distract them." Deuce praises.
"Thanks!" She grins.
"As long as I wanna praise Glor, we have other problems to take care of." Ace assures.
"Hm?" Glory takes a good look and widens her eyes to see Leona and Ruggie panting but retain their smirks. Alarmed, Glory furrows her brows staring at them with suspicious grey eyes.
"Something's off about them. Even after the attack, they're still cocky?" She mutters.
"Pretty much and I got a bad feeling about this." Ace mumbles.
"Your intuition isn't spot on, Ace and Angel-chan." Cater comments.
On the other side, Ruggie was snickering and whispers besides Leona.
"They're better than we thought, Leona. Especially Kitten." Ruggie whispers.
"Ah...'thought' is the key word." Leona points out.
Though I had to admit, that girl definitely caught me by surprise with her magic, but least see if she can handle this.
Leona thought as activates his magic.
"Come on Grim you're turn!" Glory reassures.
"I'll be the best!" Grim exclaims he throws the disc, but suddenly it disappears shocking everyone.
"Wtf!?" Glory exclaims.
"Wha! Where!-"
"Shishishi! Told you not to hold back didn't I?" Ruggie reminds her.
"Grr...damn you!" Glory hisses along with his friends.
"If they hadn't stolen the disk, we couldn't scored a goal!" Deuce rants and Glory grips her hand.
"Because this is not how Magift games are played. This is more of a cheat! These guys are messing with us!" Glory theorizes causing both to chuckle and smirk.
"Correct you are kitten!" Ruggie compliments before cackling like a hyena.
"You still don't see that we're toying with you? At least that girl can detect our foul plays." Leona taunts them, but acknowledges Glory's insight as well as her strategy before summoning the disc they've stolen.
"Take this!" Leona exclaims as he threw the disc at the goal shocking Glory and the others.
"Holy f#'k-! What!?" Glory shrills with her face filled with shock.
"What the hell was that long shot! That's a super play...!" Ace screeches as Leona let's out a smug laughter.
"Let's go again. Heh heh heh..." He chuckles lowly where the real game begins.
——————————
Meanwhile at the infirmary, Merlin was watching this scene the entire time from the crystal ball.
"Oh my....this does not look good..." Merlin gulps as he watches Glory and her friends get defeated by Leona and Ruggie once again.
"Merlin!"
"Ah-! Right! Be right there!" He says as he gets up from his seat treating his next patient.
Stay strong my child, stay strong.
Merlin encourages her while taking care of another patient.
——————————
A few hours later during the game of Magift, everyone was exhausted from the game when Leona and Ruggie kept using dirty tactics to win.
"Huff, haaa...." Grim pants.
"Je...Jesus..." Glory gasps for air while panting from running a lot.
"Huff, Huff...This is insane...We can't even get a single point." Ace pants.
"There's no openings in their formation...." Deuce mutters while panting hard.
"Huff...They say...Leona is a genius at being a 'command tower'. We don't stand a chance with just five of us..." Cater informs.
"Command...Tower?" Glory pants while staring at Leona.
"Oh, what's the matter? Done already?" Leona ask with a smug look.
"Shishishi! Where'd all that bravado from earlier go?" Ruggie taunts as Glory shoots a stone hard glare at the devious head dorm and vice dorm.
"Come on, get up herbivores. Let's go one more game." Leona insists, but Glory will not let's slide as she stand straight and glares at them.
"This is the same thing as violence! This is not how the game should work!" Glory scolds at them.
"Oh? Does the kitten want to give up?" Ruggie mocks making her grip her fists.
"No way in hell I'm giving up, but foul plays isn't my cup of tea either!" Glory points out, but Leona scoffs at her lecture.
"And what's so bad about foul plays? This is how Savanaclaw works here, Glor. But if you wanna give in, just say the word and I'll gladly let you off the hook along with your herbivore pals." Leona reassures with a smirk. This makes her blood boil as she clench her fists feeling rage through her veins.
"Even when you do play foul, it won't lead you anywhere nor gain anything!" Glory retorts.
"Huh?" Leona curls his brows confusingly yet irritably. Glory then walks up to the arrogant lion where she grabs him by the shirt stunning him, Ruggie, the savanaclaw punks, and everyone in the stadium.
"Don't get me wrong, pride isn't a bad thing. A little boast isn't that bad either, but here's a thing Leona Kingscholar. You think that pulling up dirty tactics make you proud, but there's something that bothers me throughout this whole Magift game." Glory infers as saunters towards Leona folding her arms with a serious expression.
"Do you believe your dirty tactics is going to lead your dorm into victory?" Glory inquires skeptically shocking everyone in the whole arena. This did not suit well with Leona as he shot a glare at the brazen ravenette.
"What was that!?" The white haired punk yells.
"You dare questioned the role of Head Dorm of Savanaclaw!? Our great king?!" The redhead yells, but Leona extends a hand to him to shut up him and let him do the talking.
"....What are you talking about?" Leona growls menacingly with his green eyes glint with irritation while suppressing his rage not wanting to hurt the feisty ravenette woman. Glory shrugs and kept on gazing intently at the lion.
"Just saying the fact, Leona. I'm just asking this because there's a chip on your shoulder and I'm not quite so sure if your plan would work...." Glory assures him. Soon her intimidating grey eyes lock onto his green orbs slightly shocking the lion.
"Your strategy won't work, Leona Kingscholar." Glory seethes with a low menacing tone flinching the lion and the hyena a bit causing an uproar from her friends, the savanaclaw punks, including Ruggie himself as his ears went straight up.
"Holy shit...." Ruggie curses underneath his breath slightly shocked to see a girl like her to intimidate Leona. That's right, THE Leona Kingscholar, is being roasted by a feisty and brazen ravenette herself by the name of Gloriane Corbett, the reincarnation of the infamous witch, Mother Gothel. Though he never judge her or perceive her as Gothel, but the way her grey eyes locked to Leona's green eyes send chills down to his spine as if he's seeing a kitten turning into a deadly lioness. That is something that he can admit internally.
"You bitch!"
"How dare you!"
"Now you're pushing it!"
The three savanaclaw punks shout and bellow at the outspoken ravenette.
Leona stood there scowling at Glory as he clench his fists tight.
"You really love to bark back don't you?" Leona ask while glaring at her. Glory shakes her head at him.
"No, but if you think I'm going to give in, then think again." Glory snarks back and soon, Glory grabs his shirt and pulls him close shocking Ruggie and the savanaclaw pack.
"I'm a determined woman who doesn't give up that easily. No matter what you do, I'm going to bring you back to the light where you belong." Glory declares with a dead serious look puzzling yet shocking the lion with no words to say until...
"What're y'all doing?" A familiar voice has cut Leona off with Glory widen her eyes and turns around to see the wolf boy, Jack.
"Jack!" Glory yelps to see the wolf boy who stood upon the stadium to see foul plays in the arena. Leona turns to Jack.
"Huh? We're just messing around with some trespassers." Leona reassures.
"What's fun about kicking newbies around?" Jack ask with a low raging tone.
"What's this? Jack, you're so cool. Like a hero of justice. Shishishi!" Ruggie snickers.
"I can't just stand by why something heinous is happening in front of me." Jack sternly told them causing Leona to scoff.
"....You're a buzzkill." Leona grumbles.
"Hey, Jack! You're sure cheeky for a first year!" The dark brunette for a first year sneers, but Jack wasn't fazed and cross his arms glaring at the hostile savanaclaw punk.
"....I could say the same for you, you're not doing something befitting an upperclassman." He snarks back.
"Come again!? You wanna join them?" The white haired punk retaliates.
"Ha. Fresh-baby, being assertive is splendid." Leona remarks before letting out a sigh.
"Whatever, I'm bored. There's no point in going up against you guys." He said as Leona turns to the vice dorm.
"Let's go, Ruggie." Leona orders.
"Ye~s." Ruggie replies as he and Leona walk off. The hyena stares at Glory for a minute before turning back.
"We won't let you off so easy next time you trespass on our turf! Especially you Gothel's blood!" The redhead savanaclaw punk warms as the three follow their respective leaders. Glory let's out a sigh and turns to her friends with worried grey eyes.
"Everyone alright?" Glory ask curiously.
"Ah ha ha, I'm fine. I showed you a pretty ugly side of me, didn't I?" Cater ask awkwardly but Glory shakes her head and smiles.
"No, I'm glad that you took part of the game and you did a wonderful job." She reassures with Cater blink his eyes twice before smiling warmly at Glory.
"Thanks Angel-chan." Cater thank her.
"Jesus Glory! You certainly don't hold anything back!" Grim remarks with a shock look making her giggle softly.
"Like said before about my mom said, you don't take sh#t from other idiots." Glory reminds him.
"And you're calling Leona an idiot?" Grim ask curiously with a wary look.
"Well...I wouldn't go that far, but what he's doing is wrong. Though there's gotta be a reason why he's doing this..." Glory points out while pondering about Leona.
"Jack, was it? You saved us." Deuce praises him causing him to rub his head.
"Ugh, I'm so gross. Let's just go straight back to the dorm." Ace groans.
"And I'm starving." Grim whines.
"Well, Jack, we're heading out, but be careful, alright." Cater told him.
"You guys aren't in the position to worry about me. Go home already." Jack bluntly assures as they all nod and walk back, but before they leave, Glory gave Jack one last stare before bowing her head down.
"Thank you, Jack." Glory thank him as she lifts her head up and runs after her friends leaving Jack disgruntled by the whole foul plays he just witnessed, but there's more than just once. Let's just hope there are answers someday....
