"If you could shed light in this series of events, then I shall prepare a way for your dorm to participate as competitors," He announced with a smile.

You stared blankly at the Headmaster. Knowing he most likely wasn't being serious even if you two did find out the cause to the "accidents" that were occuring.

"How's that sound? Aren't I the most gracious ever?" The Headmaster grinned.

Grim began to tremble in excitement.

"Your gallant figure will be broadcasted world wide. And you'll be able to bask in the applause of the coliseum filled to the brim." He said over dramatically.

You pinched the bridge of your nose, knowing Grim most likely fell for this.

"They'll start screaming like woooh! Here comes the stand out rookie, Grim!"

Grim grinned as he imagined it, his eyes practically glittering. "Oh my.. I can already see it happening."

Crowley then became distraught once again as he spoke about hiw Grim first said he wouldn't help with the solving the case in the first place and begged him to forget about it. The Headmaster was then about to stroll back into the foyer when Grim stopped him.

"Hold it right there!" He shouted at the masked man. "We'll do it! We'll definitely do it!"

"I already agreed to it in the first place though..." You sigh.

The Headmaster continued to act. "Oh? You will now?"

Grim put his paws on his waist with a prideful smirk. "Being in the tournament changes everything! Right?!"

You stare at the monster blankly. "Wouldn't we need seven players for that?"

The monster froze in realization. "Wait a minute. We need seven teammates, right? How are we going to find some?"

Crowley spread his arms out dramatically, like there was a light shining down on him. "Don't worry. As the Headmaster, I will preform a magical miracle to supplement the other six people you need."

Despite your calm expression, your thoughts were far different. It was pretty clear that was a goddamn lie.

Grim cheered, jumping in the air excitedly. "Hooray! You got a deal! Let's go find the culprit!"

While the mobster was far to immersed in hus excitement, Crowley smiled innocently at you.

"I'm counting on the two of you," He said before finally leaving the dorm.

Hearing the thud of the door, you glance over at Grim who was still excitedly jumping.

You sigh softly. "I better go lock the front door before Crowley gets anymore ideas.."
