Note: I DO NOT OWN TWISTED WONDERLAND: DISNEY!
Chapter 50: Grim's boo-boo!
----------------------
"Hey, hey, Headmage! We found the culprit just like you asked! You're gonna let us into the tournament as you promised, right!?" reminds Grim, jumping up and down in excitement.
"Eh?! Ahh~... I did promise you that," Principal Crowley mumbles absentmindedly.
I sigh, knowing he would forget.
"A-ahem," Principal Crowley clears his throat while decidedly looking uncomfortable: "It's most definitely impossible. We've already announced the tournament lineup. What can we do about this?"
"Eeeeehhhh!!! That's so cruel! You scammer!!" hisses Grim, shooting Principal Crowley a look of betrayal. "I'm gonna light your lying ass on fire! Ffgnaaa~~~!" Grim threatens, opening his mouth to blow fire.
"Wait, wait, wait! Don't start setting things on fire now. I'll come up with an idea. Hmmm..." Principal Crowley interrupts Grim. Grim closes his mouth and locks his gaze on Principal Crowley. All of us look at Principal Crowley expectantly.
His eyes lit up: "I know! How about playing in a special exhibition match? It will be like the opening act to get everyone excited about the main event." Grim's eyes narrow, looking hesitant. Principal Crowley further adds, "It's the perfect opportunity for you to show off your ability!"
This swings the pendulum for Grim. "Show off!?" Grim gasps in delight at the proposal.
Principal Crowley nods, "Why, of course!" I don't know if it is me, but Principal Crowley looks slightly relieved to have staved off Grim's ball of fire.
"I'm good to go as long as I can show off!" smirks Grim. He adds cheerfully: "Yay~! I'm gonna get a bunch of scouts after everyone sees my greatness on TV!"
"But don't we need 7 people for Magift?" I remind him of the basic requirements of the game.
"Extra members... Hmm, what to do?" Principal Crowley's face crinkles in contemplation: "And we need a team for you to play against. Maybe I can get a staff team together..."
"Ffgna?! I don't care. I wanna show off!" exclaims Grim. I feel as though a heavy weight has landed on my shoulders. But just then, Ace and Deuce have stepped, grinning from ear to ear.
"We've heard everything..." Ace begins.
"We'll be your team members," replies Deuce.
"What are you talking about? Aren't both of you on Team Heartslabyul?" Riddle interrupts.
"There's no rule that says you can't join another dorm's team," rebuts Ace with a smile.
Trey's eyes light up, and he breaks into laughter: "Haha! I've never thought about it before, but you're right."
"That sounds like fun! I wanna join Supervisor-chan's team too~" chimes in Cater, stepping up next to Ace and Deuce.
"Cater, you're an actual member of our team!" Riddle reminds him strictly.
"Oh, poo," replies Cater playfully, as he steps away from us.
"Just cheering for our classmates from the side would be boring. I would do whatever it takes to play," Ace reveals.
"I'm not like him, okay?!!" Deuce quickly explains, distinguishing himself from Ace. "I just want to have my friends' backs."
"If it's an opponent you're looking for, Savanaclaw will take you on," suggests Jack.
