《Winter Wonderland》The Usurper from the Wilds: part 18

"Hey, Headmaster! We caught your guys! You know what that means..." Grim announced proudly. "Time to cough up the reward you promised!"

Crowley flinched at the reminder. "What? Ohhh...I did promise you that, didn't I?" he stuttered. "But it's far too late. The tournament brackets have already been announced. What to do...?"

"WHAAAAAAAT?! You wretched, backstabbin' swindler! I am gonna make it rain fire, you liar! MYAAAAH!" Grim stomped in anger.

"Stop, please! Retrain yourself for a moment! I will...come up with something. Uh..." Crowley began to think. "Ah! I've got it! What would you say about playing in a special exhibition match? If it were held before the tournament itself, it wouldn't interfere with anything. And the eyes of the world and Camelius would be squarely on you!" Crowley spoke to convince Grim.

"Oh me?!" yelped Grim.

"B-but of course." Crowley stuttered again.

This seemed to have convinced Grim enough. "Well, so long as I'm the center of attention, I guess that will do. This'll be great! After the scouts see me kickin' tail on TV, they'll be swarmin' all over me!" Grim exclaimed.

"But Spelldrive teams need seven players..." Yuuna mumbled.

"The other players...ah, right. ANd we'll need an opposing team as well. Perhaps we could cobble one together out of the faculty members..." Crowley mumbled.

"Myah?! You haven't given this any thought at all!" Grim shouted angerily.

"Hey, so, couldn't help overhearing..." Ace said, walking over to the group. "If you need some teammates, we could help you out." Deuce smriked, standing by Ace's side.

"What are you doing? You're members of Heartslabyul!" Riddle questioned.

Ace let out a shrug. "There's no tournament rule that says we can't play for another dorm's team." Ace answered.

"Wow, he got you there, Strawberry" Y/n chuckled, causing Riddle to huff.

Trey began to laugh. "Ha! He's right! I guess no one thought that would ever happen, so no one ever wrote it down."

"Ooh, now this sounds totes fun! I wanna be on Yuuna's team too!" Cater said, inching towards Yuuna, give her a side hug.

"B-but you're an actual member of our team!" Riddle agrued.

"oh. Poo." Cater let out a whine.

"I didn't go through all that just to sit back 'n cheer for you guys" Ace turn towards the Headmaster. "If I'm getting the chance, I wanna play!"

"I'm not like him, okay?!" Deuce clarified. "I just want to have my friend's backs"

The girls let out a chuckle. "If you need someone to play against, Savanaclaw will be happy to help." Jack spoke with a smirk.

"Myah?! You will?!" exclaimed Grim.

"Of course. Playing against the faculty would be no fun. We'll give you a proper match" Jack grinned.

"Sa-weet! Guess you ain't such a jerk after all" Ace smirked, punching Jack's arm.

"Don't get the wrong idea" Jack spoke, clearly embarrassed. "This is just payback! I don't want the dept hanging over my head. You don't got a problem with it, right?" Jack asked.

Ruggie let out a sigh. "...yeah, sure, what's one more game when we're already at the brink of exhaustion? You're a monster, Jack" he complained.

"Pffft I don't even care anymore. Come and take your best shot, herbivores." Leona smirked. "It may be a exhibition match, but we ain't gonna be playin' footsies here. You better be ready for us."

"Ah, splendid. And here I was bracing to endure another three-hour scolding from Professor Trein." Crowley sighed in relief. "Hold on a minute. It will be just Yuuna and Grim, after all, I was stuff to do" Y/n said, intruppted the headmaster.

"Aw" Yuuna pouted.

"Sorry. My duties as first" Y/n chuckled.

It seemed everyone understood as Crowley began continuing. "Since Y/n won't be playing...I believe the team is down to four members on your team now, Yuuna. You only need three more!"

"Hey, that's still not enough! And that WITH people comin' from whole other dorms to join us! Why does our dorm only have three people in it?" Grim complained.

Yuuna had a idea. "Are you sure our dorm's just the three of us?" she asked.

"Oh...That's right! They kinda live in the dorm, serving Y/n, so they're our dormmates, right?" Grim asked.

"Sounds like a solid reasoning to me." Ace said.

"Then there are more members of Amaryllis House than just the three of us!" Grim smirked, crossing his arms.

"Mhm! Y/n's familiar!" Yuuna announced.

"e-eh?" Y/n was stunned.

"Parden?" Crowley was caught off guard as well. "Are you telling me you intend to register Miss Chione's familiars are members of your team?" he asked.

"I guess that's fine. I can have Mochi, Anya, and Genji play on the team" Y/n smiled.

"Alright! They're perfect!" Grim pumped his fist in the air. "Sit tight, I'm gonna go get'em! Wahooo! I'm gonna be on TV!" he sprinted off with Y/n chasing after him. "Grim!"

Jack crossed his arms. "Seriously? A match with Y/n's familiars?"

"I bet they're pretty good, after all, Y/n herself is a legendary player like Camelius, so they will be fine" Ace shrugged.

"I'm actually going to be on TV? S-suddednly my knees won't stop shaking..." Deuce said, completely worried and a little shy.

"Hurry off to the Tournament site, now." Crowley suggested, motioning every one to hurry. "Ah, but first, has anyone spotted a black, stone-like object on the ground?" he asked.

"Huh? A black rock?" questioned Ace.

"Did you lost something like that, sir?" asked Deuce.

"No...Simply wondering if anyone had noticed one. Right, then. Let's all hurry to the coliseum now." Crowley shook it off.

"C'mon, Yuuna" Jack gently grabbed Yuuna's hand. "Let's all do our best!" she smiled, causing two idiots to scrowl in jealously.

The exhibition match has begun, with Y/n doing a little secret.

"You're gonna pay for making fools out of us last time!" Ace shouted as Amayrllis was approaching them. "Why must Lady Y/n make us play..." Anya growled, not wanting to play a stupid game.

"Oh, Anya. Orders are orders. plus, it will be fun!" Genji had his usual cunning smile.

"Heh, your on!" Mochi grinned, cracking his knuckles. The male familiars were in their human forms.

"That's the spirit. Bring in on, and don't hold back." Jack grinned as well.

Deuce looked around to see any sighed of cameras. "The cameras aren't rolling, a-are they...?" he stuttered.

"Shihihi! If I were you, those cameras would be the least of my worries" Ruggie snickered.

"All right! Time to show the world what Grim the Great is made of!" Grim yelled.

"Counts yourself lucky you get to face me. You better make it worth my while" Leona smirked.

"Myahaha! Do you SEE all the slick moves I'm making?!" Grim asked, as the group scored a point.

"Yeowch. You sure don't pull any punches against the injured, do you?" Ruggie huffed.

"Here's the plan, Ruggie: you keep playing up being hurt like that...and Jack, you hit 'em with a counter once they ruch in." Leona said, whispering to his team.

"...Right! Will do!"

Anya smirked. "This is more interesting than I thought."

"OH, YEAH! SCORE ONE FOR US!" Ace exclaimed excitedly.

"Ha. You're all right. Bask in your moment of triumph while you can, through. It won't last." Leona smirked.

"that what YOU think! Wait till you see Grim the Great land a goal from HERE! Like Camelius! I call this baby the Great Grim Hurricane!"Grim launched the disk at high speeds, but since he didn't have as much control of his magic, it went straight to Yuuna's head, knocking her out immediately.

"Myah?! Yuuna!"

"Yuu!"

"Someone get the medical team!"

Yuuna was transported to the infirmary with some help from her teammates.

Shortly after the chaos as settled, the official tournament began. And as usual, Diasomnia won, making them get to play against Camelius.

"You grew, Malleus Daconia. I'm glad that Diasomnia has been putting up more than a fight" Camelius spoke to the housewarden. The final tournament has ended, with Diasmonia losing against Camelius, with 99 points to Diasomnia and 100 to Camelius.

"You played well yourself, Camelius. It was a honor to play against you once more" Malleus bowed in respect.

"YES. IT WAS An HONOR, SIR CAMELUS" Sebek said in her usual loud voice.

"Mmhm" Silver nodded as Lilia let out a chuckle.

"Now, as for the reward. How about I show you and the world my real identity" Camelius smirked, causing the team to widen their eyes.

"You mean, this isn't your identity?" Silver asked, completely shocked.

A reporter ran towards them with a camera man. "Is what you say true?! That Camelius isn't your real identity?" the reporter asked.

"Oh? No, Camelius is real. It's just that..." Camelius would deactive his magic, as her blonde hair grew longer, below his knees as his hair faded from golden blonde to h/c hair starting from the roots to the ends. Horns formed on the side of their heads, as their masuline body faded to a more feminine body. Students who were watching this gasped in recogoniation, including the Diasomnia team.

'Camelius' opened 'his' eyes, revealing a pair of lovely heterochromatic eyes. "....Camelius was a identity I created" 'he' said, then taking off the band-aid on her collarbone that changed their voice. But since it was off, 'his' voice changed to how 'he' usually sounded like.

"Ara ara. You all looked like you've seen a ghost" 'he' loved, but more like, a she, because Camelius' real identity is...
