Dwarfs' Mine - Campsite
Day 1 of Vargas Camp
Epel Epel	Ah! More fairies are coming after our fire! Guys, be careful not to let them put it out!
Magift Club Members	Right!
Leona Leona	…Tch. It’s too loud.
Epel Epel	Oh…? You’re out of your tent so soon, Leona? You just said twenty minutes ago that you were going to take a nap.
Leona Leona	The nice warm sun you get this time of day ended up backfiring on me; it was too bright in there. But just as I was finally about to get some shut-eye, you all start yipping about the fairies coming back… Like hell if I’m gonna be able to relax enough to sleep now.
Epel Epel	I’m sorry… Oh! Why don’t you go to the tunnels then? Ruggie told me something when he was leaving the campsite earlier. If you woke up saying “I can’t sleep here,” then… He wanted me to recommend somewhere for you: “The tunnels are the perfect place to nap because they’re quiet, free of people, and they’re nice and out of the sun.”
Leona Leona	Hah… So he decided to dump a bunch of trouble on me, huh?
Epel Epel	Huh...? Trouble?
Leona Leona	Fine, I'll play along. I'm going to the tunnels. Make sure not to let those fairies get the upper hand.
Epel Epel	Right. We'll protect our fire here with everything we've got!

Dwarfs' Mine - Interior
Clank! Clank!
Jack Jack	Huffs… I’m not finding any gems. Deuce, how’s it looking over there?
Deuce Deuce	I’ve tried striking my pickaxe all around here… but I’ve got nothing either. The magift team’s further back in the mines, and they seem like they’re having a tough time too… Collecting gems really is a difficult challenge.
Leona Leona	You’re struggling with a challenge this simple? You’re all a bunch of useless deadbeats, huh?
Magift Club Member A	Hey, it’s Leona! Did you come to see how the magift club was doing?
Leona Leona	Yeah. I noticed you were takin’ a long time to come back, and I was just worried sick. Oi! Everyone here, listen up! I’m gonna share some tips for finding magic gems.
Jack Jack	What? You are...?
Deuce Deuce	“Everyone”? Does that mean he’s including us and the other clubs?
Leona Leona	It’s nothing but a waste of time to blindly swing your pickaxes against the cave walls. Do none of you know how magic gems are made? They’re created when ordinary gemstones soak up power from their surroundings. When mining them, you follow the faint traces of mana emitting from them, and then you can gauge what area to start digging around…
Jack Jack	Oh, crap. I remember learning that in class. Guess I didn’t go over it enough to remember to apply it to real life.
Deuce Deuce	That makes sense! So we should get on with that…!
Leona Leona	…What I just described was the textbook-standard technique. It’s used by people that never think outside the box. But use your head, and you could get this done much quicker and easier.
Deuce Deuce	What? There's a quicker, easier way...?
Leona Leona	Think about what causes a gemstone to mutate into a magic gem—“power.” What exactly is it? This area we’re standing in right now, the Dwarfs’ Mine, used to be a place of volcanic activity. That’s something you should’ve learned in magic history class. So look around for proof that there was active volcanic activity here: tuff formations.
Deuce Deuce	Tuff?
Leona Leona	It’s a type of rock formed by the deposition of volcanic ash. It’ll look kind of white in here.
Deuce Deuce	Err… So, basically, are you saying we’ll find magic gems if we just dig through the white formations?!
Leona Leona	Well, something like that. We’ll be able to narrow down our digging site much quicker than some amateur tracking its mana, that’s for sure. Let's test it out and I'll show you what I mean. Oi, magift club. I'll direct you where to dig, got it?
Magift Club Member A	Yeah!
Clank! Clank! Falls!
Leona Leona	...There, one turned up. A magic gem fragment.
Deuce Deuce	I can’t believe we’ve been here for two to three hours and not a single one came up, and you found one just five minutes after digging…! Hey, Jack! Your dorm leader’s incredible! And he even shared this info with all of us, not just his own club. What a nice guy.
Jack Jack	Y-Yeah...
Deuce Deuce	Hm? What's with that weird face?
Jack Jack	No, it’s just, I knew Leona-senpai was incredible, but… I don’t think he’s really the type to step forward and guide people, so this kind of took me by surprise. But you’re right, Deuce. Leona-senpai really is someone you can respect!
Deuce Deuce	Yeah! Alright, let’s get started looking for magic gems using the technique he taught us!
(Timeskip)
Deuce Deuce	Kingscholar, we managed to find all our magic gems. Thank you!
Leona Leona	Good to hear.
Deuce Deuce	Yeah! Alright, we’re going to go get our badges from Coach Vargas now. We’ll be on our way.
Magift Club Member A	Leonaaaa, why’d you go and help out the other clubs?
Leona Leona	Don’t be stupid. We’re not fighting against each other like this is some contest. Get rid of that competitive spirit. No club wants to face disbandment. So you could say we’re all allies here, yeah?
Magift Club Member A	You never disappoint, Leona! That open-minded attitude of yours is on a completely different level than mine!!
Leona Leona	Heh… If you’ve got our magic gems ready, then you’d better hurry and get our badges too.
Magift Club Member A	On it!
. . . . . .
Leona Leona	…Finally, I drove ‘em all out. Tsk, he had some nerve making me deal with a group this difficult. Yawns… Now I can finally settle down and sleep. …Zz… zz…
