"You might get hurt while we're here so I'll lend some of my knowledge, human!"

"Hey, Headmage! We caught your guy! You know what that means...
Time to cough up the reward you promised!" Grim exclaimed

"What? Ohhh... I did promise you that, didn't I?" Crowley said. "But it's far too late. The tournament brackets have already been announced. What to do...?"

"WHAAAAAAAT?! You wretched, backstabbin' swindler! I am gonna make it rain fire, you liar!"

"I should help Grim burn you." A purple flame came from my palm

Grim shot fire out. "MYAAAAAAAH!"

"Stop, please! Retrain yourself for a moment! I will...come up with something. Uh..." Crowley thought, then smiled. "Ah! I've got it! What would you say to playing in a special exhibition match?"

"If it were held before the tournament itself, it wouldn't interfere with anything. And the eyes of the world would be squarely on you!" He said

"On me?!" Grim questioned

"B-but, of course." Crowley nodded his head

"Ah, Grim's gonna agree with him." I sighed

"Well, so long as I'm the center of attention, I guess that will do. This'll be great! After the scouts see me kickin' tail on TV, they'll be swarmin' all over me!" Grim jumped up in excitement

"How do you plan to fill out our team?" Yuu questioned

"The other players... Ah, right. And we'll need an opposing team as well. Perhaps we could cobble one together out of faculty members..." Crowley thought

Grim stopped jumping around. "Myah?! You haven't given this any thought at all!"

"I don't wanna play in the tournament." I raised my hand

"Huh?! Why not, tiny?" Grim jumped up onto my shoulder

"Cause I'm not good at controlling my magic with objects. It might get out of hand again and hurt someone..." I pouted

"Hey, so, couldn't help overhearing..." Ace grinned

"If you need some teammates, we could help you out." Deuce offered

"What are you doing? You're members of Heartslabyul!" Riddle said

"There's no tournament rule that says we can't play for another dorm's team." Ace reasoned

Trey let out a laugh. "Ha! He's right! I guess no one thought that would ever happen, so no one ever wrote it down."

"Ooh, now this sounds totes fun! I wanna be on Yuu's team too!" Cater exclaimed

"B-but you're an actual member of our team!" Riddle reminded him

"Oh. Poo." Cater pouted

"I didn't go through all that just to sit back 'n cheer for you guys. If I'm getting the chance, I wanna play!" Ace exclaimed

"I'm not like him, okay?! I just want to have my friends' backs." Deuce said

"If you need someone to play against, Savanaclaw will be happy to help." Jack crossed his arms

"Myah?! You will?!" Grim exclaimed

"Good thing, I'm not playing." I sighed in relief

Jack nodded. "Of course. Playing against the faculty would be no fun. We'll give you a proper match."
