"I told you I wouldn't have forgotten the taste of lion"
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURPPP!!!
"Aah, that felt good comin' up. Enjoy your palace, 'Your Majesty', I'm sure I'll love keeping you in it!"

"LIZARD-LIPS! WHEN I'LL GET OUT I-"

"IF you get out, Spoiled Lion, it will be on my terms: and as long as that mark stops your magic, I doubt you'll have any chance of escape.
How if feels to be prey for the Apex Predator on campus, eh?"

"%&@# ?$&!!!"

Tock, from the moment he stepped foot on the grounds of NRC, always strongly felt the rivalry with Leona Kingscholar: with his predator complex, seeing someone else who was regarded as the Apex Predator in the school made him angrier than ever, and so he tried to be better than the prince of the Afterglow Savannah in any way he could.
In class, on the Magift field, even in things Leona isn't interested, he always felt second best to the Dorm Head of Savanaclaw... but after the first time they properly faced off, something changed in Tock.
Yes, he went into Overblot, but there he was able to devour his rival, to show him who the best predator was, and the taste of the prince's meat, like the one of the Prefect of Ramshackle, never left his tastebuds.
And so, when the chance rose, Tock did his move: thanks to a spell he bought in the Mystery Shop, the native of Neverland was able to block out Leona's magic, and from there everything went smoothly. Being physically stronger than the lion, in his real crocodilian form, the student of Octavinelle swallowed whole and alive his rival, sealing him inside his stomach, for how long he wants.
The effect of the spell he used would last for quite a while, and with such a fat figure, it would be impossible for Leona, like preys before him did, to be noticed on the outside.
A nice and long stay for the prince in his meaty and gurgly palace, all at the mercy of the current Apex Predator of NRC.
When Leona will get his powers back, it will be trouble... but for now Tock can surely enjoy the spoils of victory.
