All That for Nothing

Sports Field

You headin’ back, Housewarden?

Yes. The Equestrian Club just finished for the day.

My club’s done, too. Actually, maybe they all end at the same time?

Not necessarily. Some go late if they’re wrapped up in practicing for an upcoming match.
Or if their club captain is overzealous.

On your feet, you two! You won’t build muscle by parking those butts on the ground!

Tch... C’mon, guys. We’re goin’ for another round of practice.
Spelldrive Club members
Okay!

You’re right. The Spelldrive Club looks like it’s still going strong. ...Hold up. Isn’t that lion-looking guy Savanaclaw’s Housewarden?

Indeed, he is. Leona is their captain.
Though it has been a while since I saw him sincerely apply himself to his club activities.

Huh. Does that mean it’s a good club for if you just wanna goof off? I figured they’d be one of the ones that go hard.

Watch them practice and you’ll see they do exactly that.
Spelldrive Club member A
Hah... Hah... I can’t move another step.
Spelldrive Club member B
Yeah. I’m totally out of juice.

Whoa! Okay, yeah --- that’s too brutal for me. Lucky I didn’t join that one.

Which club DID you join, anyway? Knowing you, it must have been some sort of sports club.

Bingo! I’m in the Basketball Club! It’s pretty chill, thankfully.

A team sport, now? That’s a little surprising.
Your behavior in the dorm gave me the impression you’d be more interested in individual sports than team activities.

You think? You’re lookin’ at a rising star, here!
When I take a shot, all I need’s one look to drain it.
I’m pretty good at defense, too.
If the opposition tries any backdoor cuts, I can head them off and steal the ball in a flash.

I see. I suppose everyone has at least one thing they excel at.
You must have excellent spatial awareness. I’ll keep that in mind.

You don’t have to make it sound so much like a backhanded compliment...
Whatever. What’s “spatial awareness”?

It’s the ability to understand the relationship between you and the environment around you.

Uhh... Sorry. Still lost.

  • sigh* To break it down in simpler terms...
    You can calculate the positions of the ball, hoop, and athletes around you in relation to yourself at a glance.
    That has nothing to do with being able to react to it, of course, so your reflexes must also be stellar if you can truly play so well.

So in short, you’re...actually complimenting me? You doin’ okay, pal? You didn’t eat something off the floor, did you?

Don’t be rude. I know how to recognize exceptional talent when I see it.
Provided it’s a rule-abiding talent.
If you make a name for yourself in your club, that also contributes toward Heartlabyul’s reputation. Do what you can. That means no slacking off.

Plannin’ on it. Anyway I’m starving. Let’s head back so I can stuff my face.

Is that any way to speak to your housewarden? Oh, as if you would listen.

My bad.

Okay, now! Do five more rounds of passes and we’ll call it a day!
Spelldrive Club member A
Phew... Almost... Almost done. Yaaah!
Spelldrive Club member B
Would you watch where you’re shooting that disc?!
Ack! Look out!

Hmm?

Housewarden!
You okay?

Did you just catch that disc from behind, while shielding me?
Seems there’s truth to your bragging about being a rising star.

You almost got hit in the head! How can you stand there all cool and do a play-by-play?! ...Hauugh! My hand hurts!

As well it should. Spelldrive discs are made of a special kind of metal.

What WAS that?! You have eyes, don’t you?!
Spelldrive Club member A
Eeek! S-sorry, Captain!

I’m surrounded by idiots...
Well, well, well. Look who it is.
I don’t got all day. Gimme that disc.

You could try sounding a little more apologetic.
If I wasn’t with him, our housewarden would’ve been seriously injured.

That supposed to be funny? Riddle woulda batted that little disc away with his magic, no problem.
See ya. Unlike you freaks, I got things to do.

Man! Who kicked him around as a cub?! It wouldn’t have killed him to say sorry!

Indeed. Even if what he said is true, there is such a thing as tact.

Uh, he was right? You really could’ve avoided that?

A Spelldrive disc? Yes, of course.

Why didn’t you say so?! I just did all that for nothing!

There wan’t any time to. But you did manage to prove your physical capabilities, at least.
I could see you representing Heartslabyul in croquet tournaments or inter-dorm sports competitions one day.
I expect a good showing from you, too, when that time comes.

Well, hey! If it’s got a ball, I can work it.
Just don’t wear me out with practices beforehand, okay? Ahaha...
