| "Spelldrive tournament"? Come again? | I never know what anyone is talking about. |
 |
Dude, [MC]... You've never heard of Spelldrive?! |
 |
It's a world-famous sport! There's even a pro league and a world championship tournament. |
 |
I ain't never heard of this either! |
|
Spelldrive is a sport played by competing teams of seven people. Basically, players battle for control of a disc and earn points by drivin' it into the enemy team's goal. The team with the most points wins! |
| That sounds like football. | A disc?! Sign me up! |
|
|
|
Oh, man, I just realized that [MC] would have a hard time actually playing. |
|
Yeah? Why's that? |
|
You need magic to play. Not only do you move the disc with magic, but you use it to attack and defend, too. |
|
The flashier the magic, the better—it's how players show off their skills! |
 |
Yes, quite! That is why Night Raven College is known throughout the world as a leader in the sport! This school has produced countless pro players! That's why our interdorm Spelldrive tournaments attract attention even from pro league recruiters. Also, those simply looking for up-and-coming magicians use the event to scout hopeful candidates. Yes, the tournament is quite an affair. The campus will be full of visitors and lined with various kiosks. And the main event will be captured by television cameras and broadcast worldwide. |
| Television cameras?! | Wow... That's incredible. |
|
It's broadcast throughout the world?! So you're sayin' that if I were to play in this tournament—and win of course—the whole world would see it?! |
|
Of course! Players who excel at the tournament invariably attract great attention. Both from the pro leagues and the public at large! |
|
In your case, the magic would barely even matter. Just having a monster like you out there is sure to turn heads. |
|
It's settled, then! I'm gonna train around the clock, join a team, and become a legend! |
|
Alas, Grim, you cannot enter. |
|
...Wait, what? |
|
Did you not hear me speak the word "interdorm" multiple times? Your dorm doesn't even have seven members. Therefore, you cannot enter the tournament. |
|
Whaaaaaat?! No faaaaair! |
|
But there's plenty else to do, from tending to the grounds to selling drinks in the stands! Those who stand upon the field are not the only stars of tournament day. |
|
Not. Interested! I wanna be on TV! I want everyone in the world fawning over me! "Squeee! Grim is sooooo cool!" "Did you see that play Grim made?" You get what I'm sayin'? |
|
Your delusions are oddly specific, dude. |
|
Well, if you can't field a team, I'm afraid that's that. Maybe next year, Ramshackle House will get some new members. But it's not happening this year. |
|
Anyway, as I believe I've mentioned, I'm a busy man. I must be off. |
|
Yeah, thanks for takin' me outta your busy day to build up my dreams and crush 'em! Myaaah! *sob* |
