"Ffaaah!! Look at it all! There are so many things to eat!" Grim and Olivia shouted with joy.

"Churros, fried cake, and there's smoked chicken, too!" Grim said.

"Seriously, why do you guys need to run?" Lucas exhaled in exhaustion. "You... make me and Lady... tired for running...after... you two."

While Lucas tried to catch his breath, the girl on the other hand let out a light giggle with a smile but not a friendly one. "If you two run away from us again. I will ensure that I'm going to put a leash on you. Do we have an understanding here?"

"Y-yes, ma'am." Grim and Olivia exclaimed. "We are sorry."

"Excellent!"

"Tch~ In the end I didn't get picked..." Everyone turned their attention to Ace and Deuce who seem to be looking a bit down on their faces while wearing their Heartslabyul uniform.

"Same," Deuce said.

"There's always next year. Big bro Ace and Deuce." Olivia cheered them up.

"I still can't believe she is only six years old..." Deuce mumbled, "But we've got important to do today. We've gotta focus on that."

"You're right. We'll give it our all." Ace added.

"What's that takoyaki thing? I wanna eat everything!" Grim mouth is watering.

"Eat. It. Later! We have to go!" Ace and Lucas said in unison. As Ace drags Grim away, Olivia seat on Deuce's shoulder.

When everyone began to walk, Y/n accidentally bump her shoulder into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry." The girl's eyes met a yellow-haired male with orange eyes.

"Huh!!!" The male gazed at her with a murdered stare.

"Oy, Y/n. Hurry up." Ace called out for her.

"Yes, yes," Y/n yells to Ace then curtsies. "Pardon me." She said before rushing to her friends.

"Y/n!? So that's the girl, I have to slaughter." The yellow-haired male mumbled.

"Ya, Magnus. Why are you just standing over here? I thought you have work to do." Kai asked while holding his Nintendo Switch.

"Yeah. That cat hasn't yet called me for his help. Ugh!" Magnus scratches his head, groaning. "I swear if he doesn't call me yet. I'll take action on my own hands."

'C-cat!? Who is he referring to?' Kai asked himself while twitching his eyebrow. "Well, good luck with that 'cat'." The white-haired male starts to walk away from his comrade.

"HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?" Magnus yell.

"Somewhere, that isn't noisy and full of people," Kai said, as the two villains parted ways.

Meanwhile, at the Savanaclaw dorm, Leona and Ruggie along with the residents are preparing for the upcoming plan.

"It's almost time for players to enter the stadium," Leona spoke up.

"We're ready to go, give the signal anytime," Ruggie said.

"The top batter is last year's champion, Diasomnia. Hmph... Makes your heart race. Right?" Leona smirked.

"Shishishi!!! Time to get things done!" Ruggie laugh, and soon the hyena rushed out of the dorm. While Leona took out a square piece of paper that Magnus give to him last night.

"Tsh! Why do I still keep on bringing this with me?" Leona asked himself before long Leona placed the paper back in his pocket.

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

Going back to the festival the announcement spoke up from the speaker, as everyone gather around.

"Eh...Ahem. Welcome to the Night Raven College Inter-Dorm Magical Shift Tournament. We apologize for the long wait. It is finally time to welcome our competitors to the field!" The Announcer said as the audience shouted and scream in excitement.

"Woooooooooh!!!"

"First up, last year's victor! Can they make it a three-peat? The reigning flash! Dia~~somnia~~~!!!" The announcer cheered as the crowd went wild. The Diasomnia team marching on. A silver hair man and a light green-haired man.

"Woooooh!!!"

"Ooh. There sure are a lot of people. If we have this... Shishi!" Ruggie laughed at the sideline, "First, the potion I got from Azul... Gulp!" The hyena opened the bottle of potion, and drink it. "Pah! Blegh! What the hell, so gross! It tastes like rotten stew!" Snap him back to the plan. "Pew... get my head in the game. Time to go. My unique magic! Run like a herd of wildebeests! Laugh With Me!" Ruggie cast his unique magic on the audience

"Hm? What's that sound?" One of the viewers mumbled

"W-what is that!? There's a bunch of people running down the street like a parade!?" The other viewer shouted as he pointed his finger at the large crowd.

"Uuuwaahhh! My body is... get outta the way! Move!!!"

"Kyaahh!!! Don't shove me!"

"Getaway! You're gonna get trampled!"

"Waaahhhh!" The crowd screamed.

"Ooh no!? What exactly is happening here!? The audience has started running headlong down the street and dragging theirs into their charge! Calm down, everyone! Please calm yourselves!" The announcer said to the audience. However, none of them could stop themselves and kept on panicking while screaming.

"Heh, heh, heh heh... Azul's potions are amazing! I can't believe I can control this many people at once!" Ruggie said later on he huffed and puffed. "Huff, huff... but it took a lot outta me... Since we've come this far! Can you use magic on all these innocent bystanders?" Ruggie smirked. "Even the great Malleus, prince of the fae, couldn't use it if he wanted to huh! Get trampled! Shishishi!"

"The panicked audience is heading straight for the Diasomnia team! Get out of the way, everyone! Please get away!!" The announcer warned.

"Waaahhh!!!"

"This is bad, we'll be crushed by the crowd at this rate! Protect Prince Malleus!" The silver-haired boy said.

"This way Prince Malleus! Prince Malleus!! Gggaahh!! We won't make it!" The tall light-green-haired boy said. We're going to be trampled!!!"

"Aaaahhh! Prince Malleus~~!!" The silver-haired shouted as the Diasomnia team get trampled in the crowd.

"I did it... We succeeded!" Ruggie smiled, he then ran off to the Savanaclaw dorm and inform Leona. Although Ruggie didn't know, there was a person watching him throughout the whole accident. It was the 4th Sinister Magnus eating his popcorn at the side.

"Hm!? This is the stupidest plan, I have ever seen in my whole life." Magnus said when he finished eating food, he suddenly vanish into the air.

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

Ruggie finally gets back in the Savanaclaw dorm and keeps on a huff. "Huff... Huff... Leona, I did it! Did you watch the broadcast?"

"Yeah, it was wonderful, Ruggie. Farewell Malleus. This year I will take the throne." Leona grin.

"Heh heh, Long live the king! Shishishi!" Ruggie cheered.

"Long live the king! Hooray!!" The Savanaclaw residents cheered for Leona. Instantly a laugh was heard in the sense, causing everyone to stop cheering.

"Are you done, celebrating? Your Highness." A female voice appeared. All the Savanaclaw residents, vice dorm leader, and dorm leader turned their attention to the group of people behind them.

"We heard everything." Riddle said as Y/n, Ace, and Deuce are right beside him including Grim, Jack, Lucas, and Olivia.

"Well now, if it isn't Heartslabyul, all together. And one of our fresh babies is the cherry on top. Along with the Ramshackle resident, did you transfer into Heartslabyul?" Leona asked as faced Jack, Y/n, Lucas, Grim, and Olivia.

"Right now I just can't stand being on your side," Jack spoke up.

"You damn traitor!" Leona hissed.

"Eeh!" The girl steps in with a grin, but it is not a friendly one. "You call Jack a traitor while you and your hyena bondsman are ruining the festival." A sarcastic chuckle left her lips. "Never I knew a king could be so naive these days. Just how long can you stand to your potential."

The brain cell trio, Olivia and Jack flinched as their face turned pale at how the girl is speaking and doesn't dare to stop Y/n. However, before it could get out of control Riddle walk up and pat her shoulder to calm down. Then turned to Leona, "Your actions have sullied one of our traditions. As the dorm head of Heartslabyul that values 'strictness', I cannot turn a blind eye."

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

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

'Small number. You have no idea, what you are saying?' Y/n thought to herself then smirked.

"Leona, should we take them out?" Savanaclaw residents asked.

"Go have some fun," Leona respond. The entire Savanaclaw residents began to run towards the group and began to fight. However, the fight ended in a minimum of five seconds as Riddle cast his unique magic at the Savanaclaw residents.

["Off With Your Head"]

"Grr... he's strong..." The Savanaclaw residents growled.

"The dorm head class is crazy..." Other Savanaclaw residents added.

"Hmph. You're nothing worth mentioning. Ace, Deuce, can you continue?" Riddle inquired his residents.

"Good to go," Ace answered.

"Of course!" Deuce said.

"Tch... These guys don't stand a chance against Riddle. As well as that herbivore." Leona grunted.

"Shishishi! But even if you beat us here, you're too late to help Diasomnia!" Ruggie laughed.

"Ho hoh? What a fascinating conversation." Lilia appeared next at Y/n followed by two Diasomnia members.

"Who is too late?" The tall light green-haired boy asked.

"It's true, there is not a single injury among the Diasomnia players. Thanks to all of the." The silver-haired boy said as he pointed his thumb at Heartslabyul and Ramshackle residents.

"Eh!? How!? I saw you caught in the stampede..." Ruggie gasped.

"Too bad!" Cater appeared behind the Diasomnia member. "That was a bunch of 'me' in disguise thanks to my unique magic 'Split Card'," Cater explained.

"Come again?" Leona questioned.

"I'd always wanted to try on the Diasomnia uniform. I guess I got pretty lucky. I've got to put it on magicame." Carter grabbed his phone and open it on the magicame.

"Well now. If that's the case I would have lent you a uniform any time." Lilia said with a smile.

"Hmmm, Lilia, you're uniform would be a little tight on me..." Cater told Lilia with an awkward smile and sweat rolled down his cheek.

"Hey, what is this farce?" Leona asked.

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

"Th-then... Malleus is?" Ruggie stuttered.

"Naturally, he is in good health!" The green-haired male said, "And he safely guided the panicked crowd to the coliseum without injury using magic. Be grateful!"

"T-that kind of thing is allowed!?" Ruggie stammered.

"....Ah, whatever." Leona sighs.

"Eh!?"

"It's over. Over."

"Wait, Leona? What are you saying..." Ruggie stuttered as questioned.

"Idiot. If Malleus is going to play at top form, there's no way we can win." Leona said, "There's no meaning in that kind of game. I'm dropping out."

"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... What's gonna happen to our dream?" Ruggie said melancholic-tone, and can't believe what Leona had just said.

"No matter how much the world watches, we're just some students playing around. Going along with your daydreaming was something that amused me." Leona told Ruggie.

"Why...? Weren't we going to flip this world on its head!?" Ruggie exclaimed.

"Your nagging is annoying... Let me give you a dose of reality." Leona replies to Ruggie, "You're just a worthless hyena from the slums and I'm the loathed second prince who will never be king!"

The last sentence made Y/n stare wide-open, 'The second prince!? Leona is from a royal family? Just like me? Regardless, with that kind of action and behavior. He blinded himself with greed and pride.' Y/n thought to herself, the grit his teeth. 'Believe it or not, he is already a king, even though he is the second child.'

"No matter what, that will never be overturned!" Leona added in his sentence.

"Don't... Don't screw with me! What the hell is that? Giving up after we've come this far..." Ruggie yelled with his eyes shut close.

"Don't do that to us, Leona!" Savanaclaw resident shouted.

"We're gonna make you play even if you fight!" The other Savanaclaw residents added in a shouting way.

"Ugh... Pain in the ass. Shut up, bottom feeders!" Leona yelled at the Savanaclaw residents.

Drip Drip Drip

Y/n heard the dripping of the ink in the puddle, which it is getting larger than before. Moreover, the surroundings become dark, and dirt blows around the area.

"Graahh...!" Ruggie yelled in pain. The girl turned her gaze at Ruggie while placing her right arm around her nose.

"Uhwaahh!!" All of the Savanaclaw residents shouted.

"W-what the hell? My nose is dry... and my eyes hurt!" Grim said while trying to wipe his eyes and nose.

"Everything Leona touches is turning into the sand....!?" Leona exclaimed.

"This is my unique magic... King's Roar." Leona told them, "Ironic, isn't it? For a prince of the savannah, that hates droughts above all, to be born with this... Magic that dries out all and turns it into the sand!"

"Leo...na...I can't...!" Ruggie has struggled to speak.

"Ruggie's arm is starting to crack!" Deuce told everyone, as they turned their attention to Ruggie.

"He can do that to people, too!?" Ace shouted.

"Leona, stop this immediately! Off With Your Head!!!" Riddle cast his unique magic on Leona.

"Ffgna! Riddle's collar was repelled!" Grim yelped.

"You have talent but don't underestimate your elders. Unfortunately for you, I have good marks in defensive magic." Leona notifies Riddle.

"Keh!" Riddle took a step back, as Leona turned his attention to Ruggie where Olivia tried to heal him.

"Ha ha! How're ya feeling, Ruggie? I bet it hurts. Your mouth is so parched you can't use that silver tongue of yours?" Leona let out an evil laugh.

"Guuh... ahh..." Ruggie hissed in pain.

"This bad, Ruggie is in real trouble at this rate!" Jack said.

"We can't let this continue!" Y/n exclaimed. 'This is getting far enough.'
