"Hey! Wake up!"
(Y/n) could hear Grim's voice as she opened her eyes to see that she was back in Savanaclaw Spelldrive Stadium. Leona wakes up and he used his elbows to support himself. "...Huh?" He looks around in a daze.
"I did it! He's awake! I was startin' to think you weren't ever gonna regain consciousness! Now, hurry up and confess." Grim leaps onto (Y/n)'s lap as Kiki ran out from her hiding spot and joined him. "Grim, hush!" (Y/n) covered his mouth with her hand. "Wh...What?" Leona sat up as he held his head in pain. Headmage Crowley had finally arrived after the chaos had settled down. He moved closer to Leona. "Mr. Kingscholar. Your negative energies accelerated your blot accumulation, inducing an overblot episode. Do you not remember?" Leona's eyes widen from shock. "Wait, ME...? I overblotted? No way..."
"And more importantly, the Spelldrive tournament is about to begin. I'm gonna need you to confess that you're the culprit, so I'm allowed to enter!" Grim hopped off (Y/n)'s lap and pointed at Leona. "Heh. If this is a joke, I ain't laughin'." Leona scoffed. "The headmage got Grim's group to investigate the accidents in exchange for letting them compete in the tournament." Jack added. "Whaaat? THAT'S what this has all been about?" Ruggie's ears perked up. "You bet it has! And EXCUSE you?! You were the one pushin' people downstairs for the chance at a little fame and glory!" Grim walked over to Ruggie. (Y/n) stood up as Kiki hopped on her shoulders, then she grabbed Grim in her arms. "The rare times Grim makes a valid point." She narrowed her eyes at Ruggie. "Urk... W-well...Fair point, I suppose." Ruggie lowered his head in shame
"Is he correct? Were you responsible for the series of injuries sustained by competing players?" Headmage Crowley questioned as he glared at Leona. "...Yeah. That was me." Leona admitted as he lowered his head. Headmage Crowley shook his head in disappointment. "Very well. Then, to begin with, Savanaclaw House will be disqualified from this year's tournament. The rest of your punishment will be decided after I discuss it with the victims. Are we clear?" Leona continued to look down in shame. "...Understood." Jack and Ruggie stared at Leona with worry. Riddle then walked over to Headmage Crowley. "Headmage, wait." Standing behind him were Trey, Jamil, and other victims of the accidents. "Mr. Rosehearts? And I see you're with... Ah." Headmage Crowley was surprised to see them.
"Correct. They are the victims in this incident." Riddle stepped back to allow Trey and the others to speak. "Headmage, speaking on behalf of the victims, I have a request for you. We would like you to permit Savanaclaw House to play in the tournament despite their crimes." Trey made his request. "What...? Are you saying...you wish to forgive their crimes?" Headmage Crowley questioned. "You guys..." Ruggie gasped. "No. That's the last thing we want." Jamil smirked as he shook his head. "If Savanaclaw is disqualified from the tournament, we'll lose our chance at revenge." Trey revealed with a smile.
"Wh-whaaat?!" Ruggie jumped back. "Revenge?!" Jack was also in shock. "After all, fighting with magic is forbidden on campus." Riddle added. "But during a Spelldrive game, it's all in the name of sport, right? It just happens to be a sport where players face off using the fullest extent of their magic." Trey smirked. Then more of the victims began to shout out in agreement.
"Yeah. If we lose our chance at revenge, it'll gnaw at us all year!"
"We throw down the gauntlet! Duel us!"
"Plus, I dunno what happened here, but it looks like it left the Savanaclaw kids in even worse shape than we're in." Jamil pointed at the Savanaclaw students. "What we're saying is: now that we know who did this, we have an opportunity to hash things out on the field instead of letting grudges fester." Trey continued to smirk. "You've said it yourself, Leona—fighting doesn't break school rules if it's a part of a Spelldrive match!" Cater joined in as he also smirked. "Normally, I would demand their heads. But if Trey and the others insist on settling their grudges on the field...I am willing to overlook their disregard for the rules this once." Riddle waved his hand dismissively as he allowed it.
