Chapter 16: Kick her in the teeth!

Eda and Luz could be seen flying on Eda's staff, landing before Hexside. Flint on the other hand was flying behind them using his fire wing technique before landing beside them. Had to get practice in after all.

Luz jumped off the staff with an excited smile. "Our first grudgby season! I'm so excited, I have more school spirit than the school spirits!"

Near them was one of said spirits in the form of a stereotypical ghost holding a set of pom-poms.

"Why do I even bother?" The ghost groaned, throwing his pom-poms to the ground before floating away.

Honestly, Flint was starting to become numb to the weirdness of this world...and that numbness was starting to concern him.

Eda sighed fondly. "Ah, grudgby season is the best. You know, I used to play, back in my gory days."

Luz and Flint shared a glance. "You mean 'glory days'...right?" They said in unison.

"Well, that too. I was unstoppable on the field. I had the best moves and the best cheats." Eda said with pride.

"Wow. Eda Clawthorne cheating. Who would have ever expected that?" Flint asked sarcastically with a dramatic eye roll.

"Hey, whatever gets the job done," Eda said with a shrug, unbothered by the boy's sarcasm.

Luz frowned. "Cheating isn't anything to brag about. How do you know you were any good if all you did was cheat your way to victory?"

Eda rolled her eyes and groaned. "Ugh. What do humans know, with your goody-goody attitude? If 'cheaters never prosper', why was I the star player?"

"Because something tells me you broke your opponents' kneecaps," Flint said bluntly.

"Hey!" Eda shouted indignantly. "...it was their ankles." Eda corrected.

Luz shrugged. "Well, can't reason with crazy." Luz accepted before pulling a sleeping King out of her hood. "Bye King, you little snoozers," Luz said, kissing his head before putting him on the staff as he drearily woke up.

Trixx jumped out from Eda's hair, landing on all fours as she stretched. "See you in Beast Keeping!" Trixx said to Luz and Flint, before trotting along the outside of the building as the two went inside.

The quartet of Luz, Flint, Gus, and Willow sat in a history class. Gus and Luz sat in seats on one side while Willow and Flint sat on the other, the girls being on the inside. Flint was actively taking notes as everyone else in class was bored out of their minds.

"Over 50 years ago, Emperor Belos appointed a head witch to each coven."

While Flint took notes, Luz was talking with Gus and Willow. "I can't wait for grudgby season to start! I've studied up on all sorts of magical sports. Like this." Luz said, holding up a DVD case. "Good Witch Azura 2: The Field of Deadly Fates. A classic underdog tale." Luz said, showing it to Willow.

Willow was about to reach for it when Flint poked her arm. Curious, she turned to him as he pushed a different notebook 'Where does he even keep those?' over to her and she read the page. "Azura challenges Hecate in the smibbitch championship. But will she risk it all by taking a chance on the deadly Thorn Vault?" Willow read, a flash of recognition in her eyes as she read the last part.

Luz opened the DVD case as Gus grabbed the DVD and inspected it.

"This little thing holds information? Earth is so cool." Gus said in awe. Gus was glad Flint showed him some of their tech, else he might have thought the disc was some kind of cookie or something.
