*Ciel's POV*

After the meeting with the other housewardens and Crowley, I made my way back to the dorm since the meeting was after classes. I had Grim go back to the dorm as I knew he wouldn't pay attention to the meeting and he was still sulking at the time. I find it kind of weird that he wants to play in the tournament so much but I guess it's because of his ego. I enter through the doors as I heard groaning noises in the lounge as I closed the doors. I walk into the lounge to see Grim sitting on the couch as he let's out another groan.

"Man... If I can't be in the Spelldrive tournament, then what's even the point anymore?" Grim pouts as I sweatdrop

'Wow, uh, melodramatic much?'

"You're still not over that?" I asked as the three ghosts appeared from what they were doing, really need to ask what their names are.

"What's wrong, Grimmy? Something got ya down?" The small ghost asked while poking Grim's cheek

"He's sulking because he can't play in the Spelldrive tournament." The big ghost answered

"Yeah... I don't get his desire to compete, but I don't know how to cheer him up... Not even tuna seems to work." I said with a frown on my face

"If you wanna play Spelldrive that badly, why, we can play with ya! I was the team captain ninety years ago, y'know. The girls in the stands couldn't get enough of me!" The thin ghost suggested as me and Grim looked at him in confusion.

"Yeah, but wouldn't we need seven people?" Grim asked

"It's not a real match, so who cares? Let's just play!" The small ghost said in excitement

"Let's first get outside first, I don't want us breaking anything." I suggested

We all head outside as the thin ghost handed Grim a disc, which he used his magic to levitate it in the air after I told him to do so. Since I couldn't use magic the thin ghost suggested that I hold unto it like football, which the ghosts don't know what it is. The big ghost was using a stick to make two separate lines as a mean to mimic goals. As we waited, I looked around the yard as I didn't have the time to take a look around thanks to my classes, cooking, and cleaning/fixing things in the dorm. Once the ghosts were done with setting things up, they appeared in front of us with a smile.

"Don't sweat all the rules or particulars for now. Just control the disc with magic and lob it right into the goal." The thin ghost explains to Grim as he smirks

"No problem! You ghosts are gonna eat my dust!" Grim decleared

"This may be my first time playing, but I'll give it my all!" I stated with a determined look

"Mind you, the disc carrier should expect some magical interference! Heehee!" The big ghost said with a chuckle

"Ready... Set... PLAY!" The small ghost announced

The ghosts then vanished as me and Grim ran forward towards the line with Grim holding the disc with his magic. As we were running, I had to be mindful of my breathing as to not hurt my lungs from a lack of oxygen. I commanded Grim to use his magic to against the ghosts to prevent them from taking the disc from us. We passed the disc to each other as we dodged the ghosts from time to time before Grim uses his magic. After a while of running, Grim stopped to gloat a bit while holding the disc.

"Booyah! All I gotta do now is get it in the goal, and-" Grim was cut off by two of the ghosts

"BOO!" The big ghost said

"GYAAAH! Wh-wh-what's the big idea?!" Grim demanded

"Hee hee! What, you didn't think we'd try to block an enemy goal?" The big ghost questioned
