The longer you stood, starring up at the sky had made you come to the conclusion that you had been right. Fate just wouldn't stop destroying this situation for you.

You all stood at the grounds with the Savanaclaw residents. And while the others were riding their brooms, you had to run back and forth to command Grim where to aim, while at the same time telling Cater the holes of the other team, yet that hadn't exactly worked. And after a few minutes of nonstop running, you had to stop suddenly to take a break, breathing heavily.

Somehow Ruggie had managed to get a hold of the frisbee as he hung upside down from the broom with the delinquent on it.

"Aah! Why did you guys let it go?!" Grim shouted in frustration, blaming the three males.

"Grim, get your head back in the game! Here they come again!" You interrupt him before he could start a fight. That really wasn't something you'd be able to deal with right now.

You then watched as Leona through the frisbee and hit the goal. You gasped in surprise when the frisbee flew past you.

"What the hell was that?!" Deuce cried out, his eyes practically bulging from shock.

Of course, your group had lost against Leona and his dormmates. You had unfortunately assumed already that they'd be good at this with them being players in Magift and all.

"Hah...hah.. My body hurts.." Grim said, his shoulders dropping.

"There was hardly any holes in their plays!" Deuce muttered, kneeling to the ground.

"They say.." Cater took a deep breath before he spoke again. "Leona is a genius being the command tower."

"We don't stand a chance with just the five of us."

"Ugh.. I'm exhausted.." You groan and fell back on to the ground as your body ached.

Grim had suddenly hopped on top of you, causing you to grunt in pain. But you didn't remove him.

"Oh, what's the matter? Done already?" Leona smirked maliciously upon seeing your group on the ground.

Ruggie snickered. "Where did all that confidence from earlier go?"

"Come on, get up herbivores. Let's go one more game," the lion spoke again and placed a hand on his waist.

You cried out sadly. They were really wanting to kill all of you.

"No thanks.. I'm really gonna die if we play another round..." You plead trying to stand up.

Jack had then appeared at the stadium to see what exactly the commotion had been about, only to see your familiar group on the ground trying to catch your breath while Leona and the others wore smirks on their faces.

The wolf like male glared daggers at his dormmates. "What are you all doing?"

Leona crossed his arms and turned to gaze at Jack with a scowl along with the others.

"Huh? We're just messing around with some trespassers." The dorm leader simply informed him.

Jack frowned and clenched his fist. "What's fun about kicking newbies around?"

"What's this? Jack you're so cool. Like a hero of justice." Ruggie snickered making fun of the freshman.

"I just can't stand by when something heinous is happening in front of me."

Leona clicked his tongue in disappointment. "You're a buzzkill."

"Hey, Jack! You sure are cheeky for a first year!" One of the other males commented, taking a step closer towards the white haired male.

Jack however, refused to back down as he glared directly at the senior. "I could say the same for you. You're not doing something befitting an upperclassmen."

"What did ya say? Wanna join them?!"

Leona huffed, seeing the freshman's behavior. "Freshman baby, being assertive is splendid."

"Whatever, I'm bored. There's no point in going up against you guys."

The lion then turned around to leave, calling out to the hyena. "Let's go Ruggie."

"Yes."

The three remaining males turned back to glare at your group.
"We won't let you off so easily next time you trespass on our turf!"

You slowly sat up from the ground with a sigh after they left. "You guys alright?"

Cater laughed a little awkwardly. "I showed you a not so cool side of me."

Deuce turned towards the Savanaclaw first year. "Jack, was it? You saved us."

"It's not that I was trying to help you or anything..."

Ace scrunched up his nose. "I'm so sweaty that my uniform is already starting to smell. Let's just go straight back to the dorm."

"I'm also starving already!" Grim complained, rubbing his stomach.

"Let's drop by the store then and by some groceries." The monster then began to cheer.

Grim grinned while starring up at you as you pick him up. "Hey, hey, I want cheesy omelet! And also some-"

"Cheesy omelet only. You already have your tuna cans, Grim."

Despite his disappointment, Grim nodded and began to sing about Cheesy omelet. Which was kind of amusing.

"Well Jack, we'll be heading out, but take care of yourself." Cater spoke, turning towards the wolf first year.

"Don't worry about me. I can totally handle myself. Go home already." Jack simply said.

You all nodded and did what he had told you too as you all returned back to your own dorms. Of course, with you and Grim stopping by Mr. S's shop to buy some groceries. Along with you getting some sewing materials, hopping you may be able to fix some of the tattered curtains in Ramshackle Dorm. Yet you still couldn't help, but keep going back to the things Jack had said. Could there be a possibility that he was hiding something important? You really hoped not..
