TAKE THIS!!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
BACK AT YOU!!!!
|
Jack
Jack
|
Huff, huff... Y-you definitely know what you're doing with your punches...
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Huff. You too... Huff, you're pretty good...
|
Grim
Grim
|
Your punch hit me right in the heart...
|
Ace
Ace
|
Huuugh, huff... Haven't you all gotten just a little too caught up in this? I don't care about being picked... I'm done...
|
Choice 1: Let's run off into the sunset...
|
Choice 2: We're a mess.
|
Jack
Jack
|
...Alright. My conscience is clear. I'll tell you everything.
|
Ace
Ace
|
How did this clear your conscience exactly?
|
Jack
Jack
|
I'm crossing a line here. I'm about to betray my dorm.
But I can't put up with this anymore!!
A fight is about testing how far you can go by challenging tough opponents.
I've put myself through the wringer to see how far I can go in this tournament.
Cowardly tricks make me nauseous! There's no meaning in a victory like that!
I wanted to use my own power to claim victory at the top!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Ah, this guy's a pain in the ass.
|
Choice 1: It's all for yourself.
|
Choice 2: So it's not because you can't forgive injustice.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I get you! I really get it!! That feeling!!
|
Grim
Grim
|
We've got our own pain in the ass.

Jack
|
Ruggie’s unique magic is…
something that makes another person move exactly like him.
To cause the accidents he made people move in ways that would only look like they weren't being careful.
|
Ace
Ace
|
I see. So that's why he made Grim copy him in the cafeteria to keep it a secret.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Crap! Reminding me makes me angry all over again! Don't underestimate the strength of a grudge over food!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
But just a second.
If he did something to make someone fall down stairs, wouldn't that look pretty suspicious?
|
Jack
Jack
|
Ruggie isn't flying solo creating these accidents.
I bet most of Savanaclaw is in on it.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Ffgna!?
|
Jack
Jack
|
Like you said, Ruggie would stand out if he was acting weird by himself.
So the other residents act like a wall for him and provide cover.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
The dorm is in on it... Why would they?
|
Ace
Ace
|
Hmm. How well your team does in the magical shift tournament can have a big impact on your future, right?
So I can't say I don't understand their feelings.
|
Jack
Jack
|
(growls)
|
Ace
Ace
|
Wah, scary. Don't bare your fangs at me. I'm kidding.
|
Jack
Jack
|
Hmph! The now comes before the future. There's no point if you don't show what you can do now.
And I really can't stand the dorm head, Leona Kingscholar.
That guy is amazing but he never gives it his all.
|
Grim
Grim
|
That's true, he was a really tough opponent even though he's always lazing about.
|
Jack
Jack
|
Right!? He has so much natural talent so why doesn't he polish it!? I hate his type the most.
His play from three years ago was so awesome.
So when I got into this school...
After I joined Savanaclaw, I thought I'd be able to play magift with him for real...
|
Ace
Ace
|
So, hey... Prefect.
Even though it seems like he's just complaining about his dorm head...
|
Choice 1: He might actually respect him a lot...
|
Choice 2: He might actually look up to him...
|
Jack
Jack
|
The incidents so far might seem inconsequential but I'm sure they've got their sights set on something bigger.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Something bigger?
|
Jack
Jack
|
The dorm head of Diasomnia, Malleus Draconia.
That guy is a monster on the field and led Diasomnia to victory two years in a row.
Because of that, Savanaclaw lost in their first match without scoring a single point. All the older guys hold a grudge for that.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Losing without scoring at all... That has to be frustrating for a dorm that's usually at the top...
|
Jack
Jack
|
Yeah. They were humiliated while the whole world watched.
They're trying to retake their glory. But with underhanded methods.
|
Ace
Ace
|
So they're planning to do something to Diasomnia the day of the tournament?
|
Jack
Jack
|
That's right. So I'm gonna crush that plan!
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
Thank you for telling us all of this.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Dorm Head Rosehearts, Diamond.
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
I can't allow anyone to sully our important traditions with their personal grudges.
|
Cater
Cater
|
What do you wanna do? Riddle.
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
We have no evidence against Ruggie for the incidents so far so we can't convict him.
Leona and his group are intelligent. They'd find a way out if we tried to accuse them.
|
Ace
Ace
|
That means we have to go after them at the scene of the crime?
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
I have an idea. First...
|
Jack
Jack
|
Wait. I just shared information with you, I've no intention of teaming up.
|
Cater
Cater
|
Eh! You're saying that now?
|
Jack
Jack
|
I'm going to take down my dorm myself. See ya.
|
Choice 1: But you couldn't stop any of the incidents so far.
|
Choice 2: What do you think you can do alone?
|
Jack
Jack
|
...Ah?
|
Grim
Grim
|
I-it's back... Prefect's blunt insight...
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Your chances of winning one versus the whole dorm are pretty slim.
|
Choice 1: If you really want to stop them, let's work together.
|
Choice 2: Smart wolves hunt as a pack.
|
Jack
Jack
|
....... Fine. I'll hear you out.
But. If I don't like your plan, I'm out.
|
Ace
Ace
|
This guy is seriously a pain...
|
Cater
Cater
|
His stubbornness is right in line with yours Ace.
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
Then to continue what I was saying earlier. First...
