*Third POV*
Currently, Ciel was sitting with the other housewardens in the mirror chamber to discuss about the Spelldrive tournament. At first, Ciel was confused since his dorm wasn't taking any part in the tournament, however Crowley explained to him why he needed to be there. As one of the many responsibilities of a housewarden, discussing about upcoming events and giving out ideas or changes are two of them. Plus, it will allow Ciel to get a better understanding of his role as a housewarden for the time being. So, here Ciel was as he was sitting next to Riddle and Kalim and across from Leona, Riddle told him the names of the other housewardens.
"I call to order this meeting of housewardens. Our agenda today concerns the October Spelldrive tournament. Let us begin with the report from the head of the tournament planning committee: Mr. Ashengrotto of Octavinelle house." Crowley announced
Ciel looked to see that Azul stood up from his chair while holding some papers and pushing his glasses up. The way
"Greetings. I am Azul Ashengrotto, and it is my honor to lead the planning committee. I am pleased to announce that we have fully booked the grounds surrounding the coliseum. All of the kiosk space allotted to both internal organizations and external businesses is now full." Azul states with a tone that made Ciel's eye roll.
"Sweet! This tournament should be a real lively one, then." Kalim smiles
"All invitations to various royalty have been sent, and public tickets are selling briskly. And, as in past years, we have received numerous requests to cover the event from both television stations and print media." Azul informs all the housewardens
"Sounds like the whole world will be watching. Before I was admitted here, I looked forward to receiving my VIP invitation every year. I imagine you got them too, Leona? We might have run into each other at the tournament when we were kids!" Leona just rolls his eyes at Kalim's words
"Who knows? And also, who cares?"
"Rude." Ciel states with a deadpan look as Leona sent him a small glare
"This year, I'll have to work extra hard on my makeup to make sure I'm shining like a diamond on the new Ultravision displays. With all the exertion, I'll need to be touching it up constantly!" Vil stated as everyone sweatdrops
"*Sigh* ... House Pomefiore is the only dorm that regularly calls timeouts to fix their makeup." Riddle sighs as Ciel rubs his back
"I'm sure things will be better this time around." Ciel reassures him and Riddle mutters 'I hope...'
"How can you all be so excited to be on TV? Just the idea of it makes me wanna puke." Idia admits
'At least there's someone I can agree with on that part.' Ciel thought as he continued to rub Riddle's back in reassurance
"*Ahem!* As I was saying." Azul interrupts everyone
"Oops, sorry!" Kalim said as everyone besides Leona straightens up
"Now, as soon as your dorms' player rosters are settled, I'll need your registration documents. Any dorm that is even a single day late—" Riddle cuts Azul off
"Will be promptly disqualified, I trust." Azul shakes his head which made Riddle confused
"No. They will be charged a handling fee. Consider it remuneration for rush processing."
Everyone stopped what they were doing as they all looked at him as if he was a madman for what he had just informed them. Even Crowley was looking at Azul in shock as he remains silent like the others. Everyone was processing the information before Ciel spoke first and questioned what the others were thinking.
"I'm sorry, what?" Ciel questioned as he had a shocked look on his face while questioning Azul's suggestion
'Who does this bastard think he is?!'
"What? I don't approve of you changing the rules to allow for policy exceptions!" Riddle states as he stands from his seat in annoyance.
"And I couldn't be more grateful for it! Ha ha ha!" Kalim laughed
"Riddle, calm down..." Ciel states with an awkward smile
He grabbed Riddle's hand, which surprised him, and lead him back into his seat and began to calm him down. The last thing he wants is for Riddle to accidently lose it again and suffer another overblot. He reminded him to pay no mind to Azul's words as he is just saying nonsense and doesn't know what he's saying. Which made Azul look at him annoyed as Leona laughs at what Ciel said about Azul. This made Riddle chuckle as he began to calm down, which made Crowley sigh in relief.
"Let's try to stay on topic. We need to discuss the tournament bracket. I had an idea I'd like to propose." Crowley spoke as everyone looks at him
"And that is...?" Riddle questioned as everyone looked at him in confusion besides Idia
