Now that we got that squared away...
Something's been buggin' me since you told us all that stuff about Neige.
Rook, did you vote for Royal Sword because you knew about all the work he'd put in behind the scenes?

Certainly not! The explanation I gave you at SDC was the complete truth.
I voted for them because I thought their performance was more magnifique than our own.

Are you suuure? You're like this die-hard Neige fanboy and number-two member of his fan club.
I can't see how you could be objective.

I beg to differ.
If anything, Rook was the only person on our team who voted impartially.
You knew, didn't you, Rook?
You knew our performance was abysmally sloppy compared to our rehearsals.

Well...

Be honest.

...Oui. I did.
My position was in the back, on the left. It was the perfect spot to observe our progress.
Your sweat. Your tears. Your smiles! I could see your performance growing more beautiful with every run-through!
I was captivated every time we practiced. You all made my heart soar!
So I knew immediately that we weren't shining as bright upon that fateful stage.
...It was terribly frustrating.
Yet try as I might to compensate for our shortcomings, my body refused to cooperate.
I've no doubt it was the same for all of you. We were performing under tremendous strain.
Hence, I was forced to concede--

No way, I ain't buyin' it, Rook! You were praisin' us up an' down when we finished!
What was it ya said when we came offa the stage? "That was yer best performance yet"?
Were you just jerkin' us around?!

No, Epel...

Yes, he did say it was a fine performance.

Flashback

That was the finest performance yet for each and every one of you.

But he didn't say anything about it being our most beautiful.

Oh!

He'd been watching us from the start, so he knew we hadn't done our absolute best.
Which is why he gave us the most generous praise he could, for doing our best under the circumstances.
Nevertheless, he couldn't lie to himself and vote for the NRC Tribe in good conscience.
Isn't that so, Rook?

...Your powers of perception are unparalleled, Roi du Poison.

It's not really perception. You've always been terribly candid.
Do you remember what you said when we met? We'd never spoken before, yet the first words out of your mouth were...
"Hi there! I caught your show the other day. I've seen you perform-"

Everyone
?!

Is it an earthquake?

...No, it isn't.
Everyone, look out the window.

What in the world?! There's a bunch of guys flying through the air! Are they on hoverboards?!

That's not possible...
This school has a magical barrier to keep out intruders. It's always up when we don't have any special events going on.

Maybe that sound was the barrier getting breached!

But how...?

They're coming this way. I see one, two... ...Everyone, get down!

[MC], are you okay?!

Kalim, get back!
I've never seen that kind of gear before. Who ARE you people?!

???
Hepta Team, reporting in. We've got visual on Subjects D and E.
Moving in for capture.

I haven't the faintest idea who these people are, but crashing through windows shows an appalling lack of manners.
I hereby declare this an emergency! By my authority as Pomefiore housewarden, I authorize the use of magic on the intruders!

Oui!

I do the same for Scarabia! Prepare for battle!

Oh!

Freshmen, stay back! Do not get involved. Heartslabyul students, call your housewarden!
Deuce & Epel & Ace
Yes, sir!

???
Subjects D and E exhibiting hostility. Requesting permission to engage.

???
Permission granted. Execute capture plan C.
Battle!
