Hey, you freshmen over there. Where are you trying to go?
|
Heartslabyul Student B
|
Huh? Who’s that? Do you know him?
|
Octavinelle Student A
|
No… I’ve never seem him before.
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Ahh, my bad, did I scare you? I’m Ruggie Bucchi, a 2nd-year in Savanaclaw.
My adorable juniors looked like they needed some help, so I couldn’t just leave them to fend for themselves!
|
Octavinelle Student A
|
Oh, he’s an upperclassman.
|
Heartslabyul Student B
|
We wanted to go look at the sports clubs. But we’re not sure where to start…
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
I feel you! I was always getting lost last year~ To get to the sports field, keep going this way and then take the second right…
Wait, telling you probably isn’t going to help, right? I could give you a tour of the different sports clubs if you’d like!
|
Heartslabyul Student B
|
Wow, we scored big time meeting a nice upperclassman! I’d gladly take you up on that, if you wouldn’t mind?
|
Savanaclaw Student C
|
Did you hear that? Looks like they’re getting a tour of the sports clubs.
|
Diasomnia Student D
|
Let’s see if they’ll let us join them too.
|
 ???
??? 
|
Jack… Apparently they’re doing a club tour.
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
I don’t know where any of the club activities are being held. It’d be nice if we were shown around… maybe?
|
 Jack
Jack 
|
I don’t know how I feel about moving in a crowd, but it’d probably be faster than looking around by ourselves.
|
(Chatting…)
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
If there are any other curious 1st-years, feel free to tag along! We might as well all go looking around together!
|
Thank you!
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Whoa, this was a fast catch! (…I got more of them than I expected!)
Okay, let’s begin our club tour! Make sure you all follow me!
|
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Next I’ll jump over those hurdles. Hup!
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Man~ Silver looks so picture-perfect when he’s gallantly riding that horse!
It might look like he’s just nicely sitting on its back, but this is a full-body sport.
If you join the horseback riding club, you’ll have to thoroughly train muscles you don’t normally use, and strengthen your core to keep yourself balanced!
|
(Sebek’s horse whinnies)
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
Oi, you humans!
You’ve been talking too loud! It’s annoying! My horse can’t concentrate because of you. Leave!
|
Savanaclaw Student C
|
Aah? Who’s this smug-talkin’ bastard? You wanna fight?
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
Did you not hear me when I said to leave? I have no qualms about forcibly removing you with magic if I must!
|
 ???
??? 
|
OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
Wha-What’s this collar?! Kgh, I can’t get it off!
|
Huh? A collar?! What’s that?!
|
Murmuring…
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
I understand you may be a new member. However, now that we’ve accepted your registration form, I will not allow any behavior that damages that horse-riding club’s reputation.
But this is a nice opportunity. Sebek, I will teach you very well how to behave towards students who aren’t from Diasomnia.
|
 Ruggie

That guy right there is Riddle, a 2nd-year. He’s the dorm leader of Heartslabyul and the top honors student of his grade.
If you join this club, he’ll teach you a whole lot of proper etiquette on top of horse-riding techniques.
…I mean, as you can see, if you go against the rules you’ll get a somewhat strict coaching session.
|
Octavinelle Student A
|
“S-Somewhat”? That kind of strictness is way out of line!
|
Diasomnia Student D
|
Count me out if we get a collar put on us just for breaking a rule!
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Oh, really~? Well, okay, onto the next one!
|
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
Left side’s open!
|
Diasomnia Student D
|
That person got past three defenders without breaking a sweat. That crossover dribble was awesome!
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Whew~! Jamil’s so cool~! If this was a game stadium, the crowd would be going wild right about now.
Basketball is a basic sport where everyone plays both the offense and the defense. One of its highlights is that you play an active role no matter what position you’re in.
The thing is, with our basketball club…
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
C’mon, stop being unreasonable!
I told you I can’t catch your pass when the ball’s coming at me like a bullet! I literally just joined this club!
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Hah? I didn’t know that. Get a grip and do something about it then.
I’ll even do passing drills with you if you really want me to.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Agh, he threw it again! I can’t—time out! I don’t wanna be covered in bruises first thing after joining!
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Our basketball club assesses you based on your abilities. It’s possible even for 1st-years to be first-string players!
…Well, that’s assuming you actually win against those strong upperclassmen.
|
Heartslabyul Student B
|
There’s no way I could face the one with that scary look in his eyes!
|
Diasomnia Student D
|
Getting a ball hurled at us at that speed? No thanks!
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Oh~? Is that what you think~? Well, let’s move onto the next one!
|
|
 Vargas
Vargas 
|
You should’ve tried harder to push through just now! Don’t give up so easily! Get greedier about taking home that victory!
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
Wow…! It’s hard to believe this is just practice with that energy!
|
 Jack
Jack 
|
Just what you’d expect from a school known for its outstanding magift players…!
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Oh, are you guys interested in the magift club?
|
 Jack
Jack 
|
Yeah. I always thought it was incredible when I used to watch broadcasts of the tournaments.
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
Me too! I think I want to be in the magift club after all.
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie

(This 1st-year from our dorm said his name is Jack, right? I knew he looked big ‘n brawny…)
(But looking closer, you can see the difference in his training level clear as day. No doubt is he going to be promising in the future.)
(Nevermind that tiny Pomefiore kid next to him, maybe Leona’ll give me a special reward if this guy joins our club!)
(I have ‘em pretty won over already, but let me give it one last kick.)
Our school is known for its powerful magift team. We’ve got our own personal practice arena, and during tournaments, the school is bustling with visitors!
There are countless kids just like you who watch our games on TV and aspire to someday be like them. We’re a famous club!
|
Ignihyde Student E
|
It’s true that their coach is extremely enthusiastic. …But, you know…
|
Octavinelle Student A
|
They’d force us to undergo rigorous training everyday here.
|
Diasomnia Student D
|
It’d probably be hard to be a first-string player.
|
Heartslabyul Student B
|
So there’d be no telling whether or not they put you on the bench? There’s no point in doing all this strenuous practice if you don’t even get to play in the matches.
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie

……
…You’re right about that. I admit, times might get rough.
But…
