Grim stood in frond of the Headmage "Hey, Headmage! We caught your guy! You know what that means...Time to cough up the reward you promised!" At first Crowley's eyes widened "What? Ohhh... I did promise you that, didn't I? But it's far too late. The tournament brackets have already been announced. What to do...?" this angered grim "WHAAAAAAAT?! You wretched, backstabbin' swindler! I am gonna make it rain fire, you liar! MYAAAAAAAH!" Crowley panicked a bit "Stop, please! Retrain yourself for a moment! I will...come up with something. Uh... Ah! I've got it! What would you say to playing in a special exhibition match? If it were held before the tournament itself, it wouldn't interfere with anything. And the eyes of the world would be squarely on you!" this stopped Grim in his tracks "On me?!" Crowley quickly nodded "B-but of course." Grim shrugged and smiled "Well, so long as I'm the center of attention, I guess that will do. This'll be great! After the scouts see me kickin' tail on TV, they'll be swarmin' all over me!"

 you scoffed at your little companion and then turned to Crowley "Mr.Crowley how do you plan to fill up the team because i'm already out" Grim looked at you "Whaaa?!" "sorry little buddy i already have to much on my plate. and besides i don't think i will have much energy left after i open up this show" Crowley put a hand to his chin "The other players... Ah, right. And we'll need an opposing team as well. Perhaps we could cobble one together out of faculty members..." Grim's eyes widend "Myah?! You haven't given this any thought at all!" Ace and deuce walked over "Hey, so, couldn't help overhearing..." Deuce nodded "If you need some teammates, we could help you out." Riddles eyes widened "What are you doing? You're members of Heartslabyul!" Ace shrugged "There's no tournament rule that says we can't play for another dorm's team." Trey nodded with a slight laugh "Ha! He's right! I guess no one thought that would ever happen, so no one ever wrote it down." Cater put a harm around your shoulders "Ooh, now this sounds totes fun! I wanna be on N/n's team too!" this shocked Riddle even more "B-but you're an actual member of our team!" Cater pouted a bit "Oh. Poo." you laughed "i'm not playing anyway Cater so you won't miss much" you patted Cater on the chest as he let you go.

Ace shrugged "I didn't go through all that just to sit back 'n cheer for you guys. If I'm getting the chance, I wanna play!" Deuce shook his head "I'm not like him, okay?! I just want to have my friends' backs." Jack looked at the other Freshman "If you need someone to play against, Savanaclaw will be happy to help." this shocked Grim "Myah?! You will?!" Jack nodded "Of course. Playing against the faculty would be no fun. We'll give you a proper match" Ace did a fist pump "Sa-weeet! Guess you ain't such a jerk after all." Jack looked away "Don't get the wrong idea—this is just payback! I don't want that debt hanging over my head. You don't got a problem with it, right?" Ruggie sighed "... Yeah, sure, what's one more game when we're already at the brink of exhaustion? You're a monster, Jack." Leona scoffed "Pfft. I don't even care anymore. Come and take your best shot, herbivores. It may be an exhibition match, but we ain't gonna be playin' footsies here. You better be ready for us."

you shook your head "i would have been surprised if you didn't go full out on them" Crowley clapped "Ah, splendid. And here I was bracing to endure another three-hour scolding from Professor Trein. Well, I believe that's three members on your team now. You only need four more!" Grim frowned "Hey, that's still not enough! And that's WITH people comin' from whole other dorms to join us! Why does our dorm only have two people in it?" your eyes widend "i got an idea ...Alvin, Theo,Simon could you come here for a second" the ghost appeared "you called us Y/n" you nodded "Grim need members on his spell drive team so i thought you guys might like to play with them again...oh simon could you call Chef Remmy from the kitchen" the Ghosts nodded "anything for you Y/n" you turned back to the rest "problem solved" Crowley's eyes widened "Pardon? Are you telling me you intend to register ghosts as members of your team?" you nodded and Grim agreed "One of 'em said he used to be a real good player! They'll be perfect! Sit tight, I'm gonna go get 'em! Wahooo! I'm gonna be on TV!" Jack raised a eyebrow "Seriously? A match against ghosts?" you bumped into Jack "at least it won't be boring" Deuce trembled a bit "I'm actually going to be on TV? S-suddenly my knees won't stop shaking..."
