"Hee-haaa.... How 'bout that!" Grim wheezed. Alice patted Grim's head to comfort him as Crowley transformed back into his normal self. He stared at the four girls and Grim in pure astonishment. Even though he couldn't believe it, he couldn't deny that they had such extraordinary skill!

"I can't believe... there are people who can command monsters." he said as he looked at the four girls with great curiosity. There had to be a reason those girls were brought here... Could this possibly be it?

"Hmmm... To be honest with you, my intuition as an educator has been telling me that you young ladies," he paused as he pointed a finger at the four girls, "have talent as trainers or beast tamers since the uproar during the entrance ceremony." The four girls all gawked at him.

"Huh?! We are what now?!" Kira asked, gaping at Crowley. "Beast tamers?" Jazmin asked in bewilderment. "B-But, we just—" Alice tried to say, but Crowley began mumbling to himself as the wheels in his head began turning.

"But...no matter how..." he said as he started to mutter silently. None of the girls could hear a word he was saying as he was now speaking way too fast for anyone to understand. They all looked down at Grim, who was now too tired to care that he was in Aria's arms.

Then Alice thought of a way to help him out. His sole desire was to be a student at this school and the way he looked when the Ebony Carriage never came for him... She then turned her attention back towards Crowley.

"Headmaster, if it's possible, could you allow Grim to stay with us in this dorm?" she asked. This not only snapped the other girls' attention towards her, but it also brought Crowley out of his thoughts as he, Grim and the other girls looked at her in shock. "What now? A monster?" Crowley asked in astonishment.

"Alice-chan! Have you lost your mind?!" Kira snapped. "Let that lazy, good-for-nothing cat stay here?!" She wasn't too pleased about the idea of sharing the dorm with Grim. Grim glared at Kira indignantly, insulted by being called a "cat".

"In case you've forgotten, he nearly roasted us crispy back at the entrance ceremony!" Kira added. Alice turned to face her. "Yes, but to be fair, he did save us from those ghosts." she said. "Well, we made him do it with the promise of food!" Kira stated. That was true, but even so... Alice turned back to face the Headmaster.

"Please, Headmaster? There's no telling when those terrifying ghosts might return. Grim can help protect us from them." she said. Since Grim helped the girls defeat the ghosts, Alice had decided to take responsibility and do whatever she could to help Grim be a student at Night Raven. Alice then turned towards her friends.

"I say we help Grim become a student here. Are you with me on this, girls?" she asked. Aria and Jazmin looked at each other hesitantly, not knowing what to make of this. But they knew better than to deny that poor cat creature a chance to be a great magician. They turned back to face Alice.

"Alright, I'm with you on this." Aria said, nodding. "Me as well." Jazmin added. Kira stared at them dubiously. "Oh, no! Not you too, girls!" she groaned. Jazmin sharply glared at Kira, making her flinch.

"Kira-chan, are you with us on this or not?" she asked firmly. Kira sighed as she rolled her eyes. Seeing that it was useless to try and reject this, she nodded reluctantly. "Ok, ok, he stays with us." she grumbled. "You girls..." Grim whispered. He honestly didn't think those simple girls would ask for something like that.

For his own sake. So this completely caught him by surprise. Alice then gave Crowley pleading eyes as she begged him to let Grim stay with them. "Please, Headmaster?" she asked. "Pretty please?" Aria added. Crowley looked at them in bewilderment before he sighed.

"...Hah. It can't be helped. Very well." he said as he placed his hands on his hips. "Hnn?! Really?!" Grim exclaimed happily as he looked at the Headmaster with gleaming stars in his cobalt eyes.

"However." Crowley quickly announced, his voice firm, "I can't simply allow someone, let alone a monster, who wasn't chosen by the Dark Mirror into this school." Grim's ears drooped with disappointment. Crowley then turned towards the four girls.

"Also, I can't let you girls be freeloaders here until you all return to your own world." he added sternly. "Freeloaders?" Aria asked. "O-Oh, no! No, sir! We don't intend to be—" Alice started to say. "Well... talk about short-lived joy..." Grim grumbled. He yowled when Kira conked her fist on his head. "Shut it." she said.

"Let me finish." Crowley said, gaining back their attention. He cleared his throat. "Concerning the fact that your souls were called here, the school has to take responsibility as the ones in possession of the Dark Mirror." he said.

The girls all nodded her heads in understanding. "Understood, sir." Jazmin said. "Thank you very much, Headmaster." Aria added. "For the time being, you five shall be permitted to stay in this dormitory for free. But, other necessities you will have to provide for yourselves. Seeing as you have nothing to your names..." Crowley chuckled, grinning. "Fufu, here is my proposition."

The girls all gulped. They didn't like the sound of Crowley's tone at all. It can only mean something. "What exactly are you going to make us do?" Alice asked nervously. "No need to fret, I'll have you do maintenance and odd jobs around campus." Crowley said with a happy smile.

He took a good look at the lounge and saw that the four girls had cleaned it up rather nicely. "From what I can see, you're all pretty decent at cleaning. Would the five of you like to become the handymen of the school?"

"Handymen?" Aria asked. Crowley nodded. "This way you will receive special permission to remain on school grounds. I shall also allow usage of the library for you to gather information on how to return to your world and for learning purposes. For I am gracious."

But then, he shot the girls and Grim a stern glare. "However! Only after your work is done." he added sternly. The girls all nodded in understanding. "Y-Yes. Of course, sir..." Alice said. "Sure." Kira added. But Grim only gaped at Crowley. This whole thing just isn't fair!

"Eeeh?! I'm not okay with that!" he whined. "I wanna wear that fancy uniform and be a student!" The other girls glared at Grim. "Grim...!" they all warned. "If you're unsatisfied with that, fine. I'll simply toss you out again." Crowley said simply. Grim tensed when he heard that.

"Your call, buster." Kira said mockingly. "Either stay here and behave or get yourself kicked out for good." Grim was starting to sweat bullets. Being a great magician was something he desperately wanted. He couldn't let himself get kicked out a second time.

"Ffgnnaa?! I get it! I just have to do it. Just do it!" he shouted, quickly taking back his words. Alice nodded and curtsied. The other girls did the same. "We understand. Thank you very much, Headmaster." Alice said. "Thank you." the other girls replied in unison.

Crowley smiled. "Wonderful. Then, you five, devote yourselves to working as janitors at Night Raven College starting tomorrow!" he declared. With that being said, Crowley bade the girls good night and headed out the dorm's doors.
