Coliseum - Hallway
 |
Ten minutes to showtime… |
 |
They'll be calling on us to stand by any moment now. Let's get backstage and—ngh! |
 |
Are you certain you're all right, Vil? |
|
I've taken a painkiller potion and covered up my scratches with makeup. I'll be fine. |
|
Oui. If you say so. |
 |
Vil! Um... Please let me take the center spot! |
| What?! |
 |
Epel, are you seriously dropping that on us at the last second? |
|
Ace is right. Why would we change it up right before we go on? |
 |
Fillin' Vil's shoes ain't exactly easy. |
|
But just look at Vil. He's barely vertical! |
|
...... |
|
Vil, you said we had to win this, but what if you run out of stamina right on stage? I don't wanna see you embarrass yourself in front of an audience! |
|
Monsieur Pommette... |
|
I've kept my agreement with you. I've grown way stronger and more charming than when I first enrolled. I'm not just cute and sweet. I'm a legit poison apple now. I'll take Neige down. So please...! |
|
Heh... You've grown bold. Worry not, though. As long as the spotlight shines on me... I wouldn't leave the stage even were I to be struck by an errant boulder. I'm going to keep struggling to the bitter end. I won't lose hope in my victory. That's what real villains do. So give this villain a chance to stay on stage to the very last. |
|
...... All right. If you're really set on it. |
|
Hmph. Do you even have room to worry about others, Epel? You tend to start making mistakes as soon as you feel eyes on you. Have you forgotten the way you flubbed the hook at the audition? |
|
H-hey! You don't have to bring that up now! |
|
You asked me to give you the center role. I expect you to captivate the hearts of the audience, my poison apple. |
|
...Yes, sir! |
Film Crew A |
Attention, Night Raven College entrants. It's almost time to go on. Please stand by! |
|
Well, this is it. |
|
Let's go bag ourselves a first place trophy, huh? |
 |
Yeah! I worked myself up so much earlier, I'm actually relaxed now! |
|
Aw right! I'mma captivate those viewers' hearts! |
|
Just do like we practiced. Don't worry. We'll do just fine. |
 |
You're right, Jamil. Let's make the most of this and have fun with it! |
|
Okay, you guys, listen up! My tuna bonanza is restin' on your shoulders. You better win this! You hear me?! |
| Put on the fairest show of all! | First place or bust! |
|
Come, NRC Tribe! Let us away to the field of battle! |
