Botan responded to him.

A friendly response. Tone smiled as Botan called him by his quidditch nickname.

He knew it could get confusing to people sometimes, having two names people tended to call him. But there were many quidditch players who did the same thing, such as Valentin Schnell. The boy's name was Valentin but many fans called him the Niffler. Similar to Valentin, Tone's name was Hiro but many fans called him Tone. It was just something popular players found themselves faced with when fans developed nicknames for them. Some stuck and others didn't, that was just how things were. He nodded as Botan challenged him...

"I'm looking forward to it." Tone told him and the final round began. As the two came at eachother, the duo-toned teen leveled his lance at his opponent as he came into view. Botan seemed nervous as he got closer and ended up missing him by a wide margin. On the other hand, Tone was able to just barely make contact with his target, Botan's chest. This time, his lance ended up remaining intact and hadn't splintered upon impact, like before. "Good job, Mori." Tone commended his mount, as the tourney was finally over...

He didn't know how the others had done.

But at least for his own match, Tone had come out on top, which was satisfying for him.

It showed he wasn't bad and had potential and wasn't a failure. But then again, he'd always been good on a broom, it was the one thing he actually had confidence in and felt at ease with when on them. Parting ways with Mori was not a good thing though, even though the brooms weren't sentient objects, Tone almost felt some sort of connection to it and didn't want to leave it behind him. "Thanks for being my last partner, Botan!" The second year told the first year before him and headed over to the one in charge of the tourney.

"I don't suppose I could keep Mori - I mean the broom I used? If possible, I'd love to be able to keep it, if that's alright?" Tone asked, hoping the organizer of the event would allow him to do so. It would make his day if it were possible. But he would completely understand if it wasn't possible to do so. However, at least he would have tried to obtain Mori for his own. As long as he did everything possible to obtain Mori, he'd be content with whatever the results might be. The teen's thoughts turned towards the ball.

He hadn't seen Nica watching from the stands.

Nor had he seen Sunny at the ball yet. Other faces that were missing were Red, Pixie, Colin, AF, and Winnie.

Once he'd gotten his answer about Mori, Tone would head off the tourney grounds and go in search of Nica, the aforementioned people, and see if he could track down Freya (@Eun-ji Lee Hunt) again.

Knights Tourney Spring Ball 2023

April 21, 2023 - The Spring Court Ball's Knights Tourney

The third and final round started and caught him off guard. He was still looking off into the stands, turned completely away from where he should've been, but that was okay. He quickly turned himself and Onyx to the left and began to pick up speed as he raced down the track. Because Raziel had been paying more attention than Stephen, she'd made more progress down the field and they met earlier than before in their first two rounds from his perspective.

Stephen wouldn't exactly call it a disastrous round as he, once again, wasn't lanced, but he, too, missed his mark. Not precisely the final outcome he'd hoped for, but it was fine in the end. He knew before the round started he'd won the match, but it's always better to go out on a high note, having done his best. He had uncharacteristically allowed himself to be distracted, but he was surprisingly not the least bit sorry about it.

He smiled as he circled back around and met Raziel for the last time in the middle of the field of battle. "That was a great improvement. Well done, you. Thanks for the fun and nice to have met you. See you 'round, Raziel."

His attention was then caught by the announcement of the winners, and he smiled widely as he learned he was dubbed one of the Knights of the Spring Court. Cool. He then took his instructions and went back to the changing area. He said a fond farewell to Onyx and placed his lance back in its proper place. Then realizing he had purposefully dropped his shield on the ground at the beginning of the match, he quickly ran back out onto the field of battle and collected it. As he stood up, he looked to where EmmaLee had been sitting and was delighted to see she was no longer there.

Hurry up, Schwartz. Can't keep a lady waiting.

He ran back and placed the shield in its rightful place and quickly changed back into his comfortable leather armor, making certain to tuck her letter to him back into his sleeve. After running his hand through his hair to straighten it up, he hurried back to the two directional sentinels standing steadfastly where he and EmmaLee had parted earlier. As he rounded the last turn in the maze that would deposit him where he hoped to find her, his smile grew wide as his eyes lit upon the beautiful white hair and her smiling face.

"That was a blast! Thank you for indulging me. Now, Milady, the evening is all yours," and he offered her his arm. "I am your humble servant. Bid me do, and your wish shall be my command," and he chortled as they began making their way back to the Royal Banquet.

The tournament was over. Botan had lost. Two of the three times he had tried to lance were unsuccessful. The first two times he had been going up against a boy named Andy Menton, who attended another foreign school called Ilvermorny. Andy had missed both of his shots at Botan, and Botan had made one and missed one. He had made the very first one despite the fact that he was still ajusting to the different type of broom that he was being forced to use. Botan would have easily selected his own Nimbus 1500.

At home, he owned a way better broom, one of the new ones that worked well, were good for racing and quidditch. His parents had got it for him to somehow motivate him to become better at racing and quidditch than his cousin, who his parents were always convincing him to become better than. They were always convincing him to try harder and do better. Botan’s life goals now revolved around doing better than Akihiko.

Botan’s final partner, who everyone called Tone, and managed to lightly tap him on his chest. Tone had scored all three points, two against another partner and one on Botan. “Good job Tone. Congrats.” He said in his normal, cold voice, before turning and noticing that his cousin had scored all three points just like Tone. Great.

Botan marched right over to the spectator area to pick up his… date, Bailey. “Hello Bailey. Did you enjoy watching the matches? Are you ready to move on to the banquet?” He asked, offering his hand for her to hold.
action: leaving the tourney grounds with Bailey Glade.

While Akihiko was definitely a little distracted this round, he still held the sword with as much gumption as he could muster. Two successful shots, he had this one in the bad. He was confident that this would be easy, and he would succeed.

Right on cue, he charged at his opponent and... missed. He was disappointed, but he still grinned, pumping his fist in the air and dropping the sword as he did so. Maybe he hadn't lanced his opponent, but he had sill won the game. "ぼたんさん、やった!私が勝ちました!"1 He called out to his cousin, although he didn't care if his cousin heard him or not.

He realized he was being rude, and he walked up to his opponent to shake her hand. "Good game, and it was a pleasure to meet you." He hoped she woud shake his hand, and if she did she would lean down to kiss it lightly. If she didn't, he would give her a farewell and leave to find his date.

Once he found her, he would lead her gently back to the maze where he assumed things were wrapping up. "Let's head back now, shall we?" He had adapted a sort of fancier demeanor with both how he acted and what he said, and he hoped his date didn't mind.
