Episode 2-5: Magical Shift Tournament.

"Eeh!? You met a Savanaclaw student!?" Ace shrills.

"Yup, we met yesterday in the halls while I was on my way for a meeting with the dorm leaders." Glory told them.

"Oh...." Deuce awes.

"See! What did I tell you!? She's totally a Guy-Magnet!" Ace points out making her irk again.

"What did I just said!?" Glory yells with a red vein throbbing from her head, but clears her throat and tucks her strand of dark locks to the left.

"We've happened to run over and nothing else. He told me about Magical Shift Tournament and the way he explains it, reminds me of American football." Glory informs causing them to go 'eh' and tilt their heads with puzzled looks.

"American...football?" They all ask curiously.

"Is that a sport from your home?" Deuce ask curiously.

"Hmm. It's not something I've heard before. I'll look it up next time I'm in the library. It might turn into a lead..." Crowley mutters.

"Dire, Dire, always planning something ominous..." Merlin mumbles shaking his head while sweat dropping at the headmaster. Then Glory giggles and she nods at them when they asked.

"It is, but I never actually play the sport. I seen it from my ex." Glory informs.

"You mean the same guy that cheated on you right?" Grim ask curiously.

"Grim!" Deuce and Ace scold at him for bringing him up causing Grim to flinch and regret bringing her ex up.

"Ack! My bad! Sorry!" Grim apologizes, but Glory didn't mind and giggles.

"Heheh it's fine, but yes. He's in the football team back in my school." Glory told them.

"Is it famous around the world? Like pro league and World Cup, too?" Ace asks.

"Eh not really. Our team usually travels to different schools to compete in football, though the football team in my school are pretty decent." Glory informs, but then curls her brow.

"And what do you mean by 'World Cup' and 'Pro League'? Do they do that here?" Glory ask curiously.

"Yeah, I need to know too!" Grim chimes.

"Yeah they do. From what I've heard, students in Night Raven College compete in Magical Shift Tournament every year where they compete in Pro league and World Cup." Deuce explains.

"Whoa.." Glory awes when he explains more about Magift being live television from pro leagues and World Cup.

"How big a spectacle you can make with magic is also part of being a great player." Ace points out.

"Yes!" Crowley exclaims flinching Glory and her friends.

"That's why Night Raven College is known as a champion around the world! Countless alumni have gone one to be pro players!" Crowley explains.

"Basically, Magift is just an athletic sport but one that uses magic to compete as well. Our school's Inter-Dorm Magical Shift Tournament is attended by representatives of pro leagues and those from different magical industries around the world. The arena will be lined with food stalls and visitors from different countries will grace the stadium. Just like Deuce explains, it is an tournament that'll make your palms sweat and works the whole world into a frenzy thanks to the live broadcast TV cameras." Merlin explains.

"Wow...I can't really imagine myself playing while on live television..." Glory utters making Merlin chuckle and ruffles her hair.

"No need to worry my sundrop, I'm not gonna pressure you. Besides, I'm willing to give you a choice. If you want to compete in the Magift Tournament that's fine, but if not then that's okay too." Merlin reassures making Glory smile feeling better a bit.

"I'll think about it Merlin, thanks." Glory thank him as he nods while patting her head. Soon Ace and Deuce chuckles.

"Glor, if you compete. You'll definitely beat everyone's ass in the game." Ace remarks, but Glory tilts her head looking skeptical at the moment.

"Mmmm...not so sure, I'm not sure if my magic is valuable for the tournament.." She hums while tilting her head dubiously.

"He has a point there, Glory-san. You can summon light from her left hand, you can heal people with your song, and you can restore people's mental state with your unique magic." Deuce lists them all with Glory giggling and grinning.

"You have a point there, Deuce." She agrees while giggling.

"Heh no doubt. I wonder who you going to kiss next Glor?" Ace teases causing her to grimace at his teasing and sweatdrops in response.

"I don't know and I don't wanna find out..." She mumbles while cringing.

Soon they heard Grim awning with glee as his eyes sparkle with excitement.

"World wide broadcast!? So if I play in that tournament the whole world will be paying attention to me!?" Grim ask with an ecstatic expression.

"Certainly! Those who play in the tournament will without a doubt become popular with pro leagues and any number of sponsors." Crowley exclaims.

"I'm your case, Grim, I think they'd be more surprised by seeing a monster play." Deuce assures making Grim more pumped and pumps his fist in the air.

"Oh yeah! I'll start some special training today and stand out to everyone in that stadium!" Grim proclaims.

"You sure about that Grim? Cuz if you want to train for the Magift Tournament, then you have to work your hardest to get stronger and smarter." Glory lectures.

"Oh you'll see Glory! You'll see this face when they realize how amazing Grim is!" He declares.

"Oh but Grim, you can't play at all." Crowley informs.

"Eh?" Grim became confused with his eyes widen in disbelief.

"Dire has said 'Inter-Dorm' several times already, did you not know?" Merlin asks.

"Yes, your dorm doesn't meet the seven person requirements does it? So you can't even apply." Crowley said.

"Welp, sucks." Glory remarks making Grim flinch and gets tearful.

"Eeeeehhhh!? How can that be!!!" Grim whines.

"Selling drinks in the stands the day of, preparing the field for the tournament, there are many things that have to be done. Standing on the field as a player isn't the only role." Crowley points out.

"No way! No way!!" I wanna hear 'Kyaa! Grim is so cool!' and 'Hey, did you see his super play!?' from the crowd as they all cheer for me!" Grim complains.

"That's more of a deluded desire more than a dream." Glory points out with a blank look.

"That's pretty basic delusion..." Ace chimes.

"Hmmm. Can't be helped since you don't have enough people. You might have to give on this year and hope that some freshman get sorted into Ramshackle Dorm next year." Deuce told her, but glory didn't care and shrugs her shoulders.

"Eh it's fine, not that big of a deal." She nonchalantly replies with a grin.

"I really must get back to work! Aah, busy busy busy." He mumbles as he walks away.

"You got my hopes for nothing, you jerk...ffnaa..." Grim whines as he slumps to the floor sulking. Glory sighs and kneels down to pat his head.

"Come on, Grim let's go." She reassures as she lifts Grim in his arms and lay him on to her shoulders while Grim buries his face weeping over disappointment of not able to compete in the Magift Tournament.

"Oh before you go, just a reminder that training will be after lunch so be aware, alright?" Merlin reminds her.

"Got it, Merlin thanks!" Glory replies with a thumbs as she and her friends left the office.

————————

After the left the office, Glory and her friends were strolling through the halls where Glory stops by the library.

"Hey I'm gonna drop by to the library to look more research on how to get home. You guys can go ahead." She told them.

"Yeah." Ace replies.

"See you in potions class, Glory-san." Deuce waves.

"See you." She waves back as soon as she watches her friends leave, Glory glance at the library where an idea popped from her head.

Hmm...maybe I'll find some simple recipes on the computer...just to thank Riddle for yesterday.

Glory thought while grinning as she does her firm head nod and pumps her arm to the air.

"Alright, let's get to researching!" Glory acclaims

"Ugh do we have to?" Grim grumbles while still sulking.

"Yes we do cause I need to find my way back home, now let's go!" Glory exclaims.

"Ugh fine..." He groans lying on her shoulder with Glory grinning as she marches right to the library beginning her research on finding her way back to her world and searching for a simple recipe for her to make for Riddle.
