camp vargas! ~spring happening~ 1-1 "no matter what they say"

[mandytl]

Location: Lecture Hall

Crowley: First and foremost, I’ll be taking attendance.

If a representative from each club could please answer when called.

Now, then. Equestrian Club?

Riddle: All present, naturally.

Crowley: Track and Field?

Jack: Here!

Crowley: Basketball Club?

Jamil: Right over here.

Crowley: And last but not least… —the Magift Club.

Leona: ......

Crowley: Magift Club? Someone? Anyone?

Ruggie: Here, over here! The Magift Club’s all here!

Crowley: Splendid to hear we were successful in corralling every sports club.

Ruggie: … Ugh. We were two seconds from hearin' him groan about how difficult we are.

You’ve got a LOTTA nerve to be dead asleep right now, Leona-san.

Leona: ......

Ruggie: Blabbing won't rouse him either, huh.

Crowley: Let’s get the proverbial ball rolling then, shall we?

I suppose I ought to start by explaining why I asked you to come here.

This is a bit abrupt, but next week we’ll be holding a training camp in the mountains.

Aptly named—”Camp Vargas”!

At Vargas-sensei’s suggestion, this training will span a total of three days.

Each of the clubs will be taking part.

Now, now, pipe down, everyone. See Vargas-sensei for additional details. Go ahead, then. I leave the rest in your hands.

Vargas: Will do!

Listen up, you lot!

Night Raven College’s powerhouse teams always make it to the top of a tournament.

Well, it’s not all that surprising with an awe-inspiring guy like me as the example.

I considered a way to give you all an opportunity to go even further. Therefore!

I initiated my plan: “Camp Vargas”.

I’ll have a special routine prepared for those three days spent in the great outdoors.

Your puny, inferior muscles will find many of these challenges daunting, but…

Once you manage to successfully overcome them, you’ll be as strong and admirable as yours truly.

Not that matching me will be an easy task by any means.

Why is why I arranged for there to be a reward from the Headmaster in order to help you get your game faces on!

Crowley: Clubs that clear all the challenges will receive something they desire. A one-time purchase of anything you wish.

Ruggie: “Anything”...? Did he just say anything?!

Crowley: Ah—no, nevermind! Disregard that! Forget what I just said!

There’s a limit to what I can offer, naturally.

If you asked for another field, for instance, I wouldn’t be able to deliver.

So I insist that you only request equipment that can be used for your club activities!

Ruggie: Well, that sucks. Equipment… equipment, huh…

Pretty sure they just put out this fully-automatic machine that polishes your magift discs for you.

The cost makes ‘em basically unobtainable to teams that haven’t gone pro. Guess I’ll ask for that.

Epel: Vargas-sensei may be harsh, but his training’s got to be easier than Vil-san’s…

We can probably aim for that prize.

Vargas: The clubs who don’t clear their challenges, however…

—will have to disband.

Epel & Ruggie: ...Huh?

Vargas: Not to worry. Take this seriously and you’ll complete them all, no sweat. … that is, if you take this seriously.

Let’s see what kind of muscles you build up after training every day! Don’t disappoint me, now!

Silver: Disband… I didn’t plan on being careless, but that’s still a fairly strict intervention.

Sebek: Nevertheless, Silver... We have a more serious issue at hand.

We’ll have to leave Malleus-sama’s side for three whole days if we go camping!

There’s no way we can afford to attend, Riddle-senp—

Riddle: You will take part.

The Headmaster said we are all to participate. The rules should be upheld.

Sebek: This can’t be…!

Ace: Camping’s a little exciting even if the training and challenges stuff sounds like a pain.

We’re gonna light a campfire and toast marshmallows together, right?

Floyd: Wha? Are you kidding, Crab-chan?

… That’s what you do when you camp on land?!

You don’t just do boring stuff like go anglerfish-lure watching? Sounds awesome!

Jamil: We could be disbanded, but you two are as carefree as always…

Jack: I used to take my little siblings out into the forest back home and we’d sleep in a tent.

Vargas-sensei’s right; you can learn a ton from nature.

Deuce: It’s weirdly convincing when you say it, but…

All we’re doing is sleeping outside, right? That’s all you have to do to make progress?

Vargas: ENOUGH!!!

You’ll become stronger than ever when you go to Camp Vargas. No matter what they say!

Leona: …Tch. Shut up already. Hey, Ruggie. What’s with that stupid strong voice?

Ruggie: This is the worst time for you to wake up, Leona-san…

Vargas-sensei’s throwing a fit right now, so keep your voice down.

Leona: Aahn?

Vargas: Honestly! What an unruly bunch.

Crowley: Now, now, Vargas-sensei. They’ll have a change of heart once they experience what camping has to offer, yes?

Vargas: You’re absolutely right. I’m looking forward to next week!

All right, boys. I’ll be passing out a camp guidebook that outlines our training routine.

Give it a reeeal thorough look!
