Episode 2-24: The Surrender...

Meanwhile at the stadium, Ruggie was dashing through the stadium and pants heavily from all that running.

"...Leona, I did it! Did you watch the broadcast?" Ruggie ask with a tired grin.

"Yeah, it was wonderful, Ruggie. Farewell Malleus. This year I will take the throne." Leona proclaims with a satisfying smirk and Ruggie chuckles at his confidence.

"Long live the king! Shishishi!" He cackles.

"Long live the king! Hooray!!" The savanaclaw crowd cheers, but....

"I don't think so!"

"Eh?"

Soon everyone turns around to see Glory and rest of the gang standing before them.

"Sup everyone. Hey Leona and Ruggie~!" Glory waves at Leona flashing him with a cheeky smirk just like how Ruggie did it her yesterday stunning him and the rest of the savanaclaw members.

"We heard everything." Riddle told him.

"Well now, if it isn't Heartslabyul, all together. And one of our fresh-babies as the cherry on top. Did you transfer into Heartslabyul?" Leona ask curiously.

"Right now, I just can't stand being on your side." Jack plainly explains to him flat out much to their outrage.

"You damn traitor!" He snarls.

"Your actions have sullied one of our traditions. As dorm head of Heartslabyul that values 'strictness', I cannot turn a blind eye." Riddle proclaims.

"Hey you little brats. Could you save the 'hero of justice' act for your fantasies?" Leona curtly ask.

"Intentionally coming into our territory with such a small number of people, you must be outta your minds!" Ruggie taunts.

"Nah but we'll definitely beat y'all's asses. As well as dragging your dorm head back to the light." Glory retorts with a bold smile baffling both Ruggie and Leona.

"Eh?" Ruggie utters.

Dragging me back to the light? Is that some kind of punchline?

Leona curls his brows looking confused by what Glory said.

"Leona, should we take them out?" One of the savanaclaw punks ask causing Leona to snap out of his thoughts and huffs.

"Go have some fun." Leona said as the savanaclaw punks smirks.

"Let's show these herbivores what we do!"

"Hell yeah!"

As the two punks sprint towards Glory and her friends, both of them lift their fists ready to strike, but Glory smirks as she takes off her glove from her left hand.

"Everyone take cover." Glory told them as her hand starts to glow shocking Jack.

"What is-!"

"No time! Close your eyes damnit!" Ace shouts.

"But-!"

"No talking! Cover your eyes or it's off your head!" Riddle orders as Jack widens his eyes and did what he told him. Once their eyes are covered, Glory marches up where she raises her hand at the two punks as her hand emits light causing Ruggie and Leona to widen their eyes.

"Ruggie cover your eyes!" Leona shouts as he turns away and closes his eyes getting ready for the impact.

"Yikes!" Ruggie shrieks as he covers his eyes with both of his arms.

While watching them dash towards her, Glory let's out a low giggle and blinds them with her light magic causing them to wince as well as Leona and Ruggie who cover their eyes from her light magic.

"Gah!"

"My eyes!"

They both whimper while covering their eyes with their hands after the blind impact. While still recovering from the impact, it's Riddle's turn to shine when he walks up to Glory giving her a genuine smile before turning back to the punks before raising his arm to summon his unique magic.

"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" Riddle chants as two collars lock around their necks making them wince in pain.

"Grr...He's strong...along with that girl!" The grayish brunette punk winces.

"She and dorm head class is crazy! Everyone in Heartslabyul isn't wrong about them! They sure are a power couple!" He shouts, but both of them heard that as their eyes widen and got flustered before sending them strong scowls.

"WE'RE NOT A COUPLE!!" They both retorted with flushed faces before they both shake their heads and regain their composures where Glory sighs in annoyance while rubbing her temple and Riddle tucks his strand of hair to the left.

"Hmph. You're not worth mentioning. Ace, Deuce, can you continue?" Riddle ask as both of them approach them with confidence.

"Good to go." Ace replies with a bold smile.

"Of course!" Deuce complies with a serious expression with determination filled within his eyes. After that, Leona and Ruggie uncovers their eyes only to have the lion letting out a scoff in disappointment.

"Tch...These guys don't stand a chance against Riddle." Leona grumbles.

"Shishishi! But even if you beat us here, you're too late to help Diasmonia!" Ruggie taunts, but Glory laughs at his taunt shocking both the vice and head leader along with the savanaclaw members.

"Eh? What's funny bitch!?"

"Yeah! You wanna get eaten!?"

"I'll rip your heart out you ravenette whore!"

"Prepare to be crawled!"

One of the punks growls at the outspoken ravenette, but Leona glance at the rude punks with a dead serious glare as message to not harm her and they all complied with a quick nod while trembling from his terrifying glare before glancing at Glory.

"What are talking about?" Leona ask letting out a low growl from his tone while glaring. Glory continues to laugh her head off before crossing her arms to her chest as well as flashing them with a sly smirk.

"I think you have your eyes checked because think again! They don't even have a single scratch on them!" Glory exclaims as she points her thumb at the Diasmonia members who are standing before them.

"Ho hoh. You're not wrong about that Glorious. This is quite a fascinating conversation." Lilia chortles.

"Who is too late?" Sebek ask curtly.

"It's true, there is not a single injury among the Diasomnia players. Thanks to all of them." Silver explains.

"Eh!? How!? I saw you caught in the stampede..." Ruggie shrieks looking dumbfounded at the moment.

"Too bad! That was a bunch of 'me's in disguise thanks to my unique magic 'Split Card'." Cater informs.

"Come again?" Leona irritably ask.

"I'd always wanted to try on the Diasomnia uniform. I guess I got pretty lucky." Cater merrily remarks.

"I've got to put it on Magicame." He said.

"Well now. If that's the case, I would have lent you my uniform any time." Lilia suggests.

"Hmmm, Lilia, you're uniform would be a little tight on me..." Cater chuckles.

"Hey, what is this farce?" Leona ask curiously with an agitated scowl.

"We heard about it from Riddle. So we put on a little performance for you." Lilia explains with a grin.

"Th-Then...Malleus is-?"

"Naturally, he is in good health! And he safely guided the panicked crowd to the coliseum without injury using magic. Be grateful!" Sebek exclaims shocking the hyena.

"T-That kind of thing is allowed?" Ruggie shrieks as Glory shrugs her shoulders.

"You might as well give up, cuz your plan failed." Glory points out, but she wasn't expecting this to happen when Leona lays his hand on his head with green eyes that reads off defeat.

"Ah, whatever." He gives in shocking Ruggie and Glory.

"Eh!?" Ruggie shrieks.

"It's over. Over." Leona capitulates.

"Wait...what?" Glory stutters with her eyes widen from his sudden surrender.

"Wait, Leona? What are you saying?..." Ruggie mutters looking at him with disbelief.

"Idiot. If Malleus is going to play at top form, there's no way we can win." He repeats his words making Glory sympathized with the lethargic, slick, but vulnerable lion.

"Leona...." Glory mutters while sending him sympathetic grey eyes feeling bad for laughing from a minute ago.

"There's no meaning in that kind of game. I'm dropping out." Leona told him shocking Ruggie.

"W-What? Malleus stuff aside, we took out all the other star players from the other dorms. But if you're not going to play, I don't know if we can make the top three..." Ruggie explains it all, but Glory can hear turn sound of sadness and disappointment from the little hyena before looking up at the dorm leader.

"What's gonna happen to our dream?" Ruggie ask with a disbelief yet a tince of heartbreak in his tone.

"No matter how much the world watches, we're just some students playing around." Leona points out.

"Going along with your daydreaming was something that amused me." Leona admits causing Ruggie's ears to droop when hearing this before clenching his fists and teeth with his face contorts from hurt to anger.

"Why...? Weren't we going to flip this world on its head!?" Ruggie lashes at him, but no avail, Leona turns on the deaf ears on his fellow vice dorm and lets out a 'Tch'.

"Your nagging is annoying...Let me give you a dose of reality." Leona then turns to Ruggie as he looks down at him with cold green eyes.

"You're a worthless hyena from the slums and I'm the loathed second prince who will never be king! No matter what, that will never be overturned!" Leona rebukes shocking Glory when he told him this.

So he is like Scar! He and Scar both parallel with each other! No wonder he's so desperate to win this year's tournament yet...he's giving up? Just like that?...Why?

Glory thought wondering why would he wouldn't put so much effort on his plan of his.

"Don't...."

Soon, Glory turns back and sees Ruggie gripping his yellow bandana while clenching his teeth.

"Don't screw with me! What the hell is that!? Giving up after we've come this far..." Ruggie snaps at him with his face filled with pain, frustration, and disappointment.

"Don't do that to us, Leona!" The grayish brunette pleads.

"We're gonna make you play even if you fight!" The dark brunette snarls, but once again, their words did not reach Leona.

"Ugh...Pain in the ass. Shut up you bottom feeders!" Leona lashes them out as a sudden poof appear in the stadium.

"What the-!?" Glory gasps, but soon Glory's eyes glows black as she saw a vision of Leona's heart as multiple black ooze drops down at his heart making it completely dark. Afterwards, Glory let's out a gasp and covers her mouth. Cater, Riddle, Deuce, Ace, Grim, Jack, and the Diasomnia members notice her feared look.

"Gah! Glor!" Ace shrieks.

"Hey! What's the matter!?" Jack ask looking panicked.

"Bunny what's the matter!?" Riddle ask with a worried look.

"Are you okay, Glory-san?" Deuce ask with concern.

"Do you need to rest?" Cater ask curiously.

"?!" Silver and Sebek widen their eyes.

"Glorious?" Lilia ask in a gentle tone before Glory shudders while covering her mouth.

"He's...He's..."

"OUT WITH IT ALREADY! WHAT IS IT ARE YOU'RE GOING TO TELL US!?" Grim shouts before Glory shouts at them.

"He's about to overblot!" Glory shrieks causing them to widen their eyes in fear.

"What!?"
