"Eh!? Did you go to Dwarfs' Mine to find a magic crystal? I didn't think...You'd not only go but then come back with a crystal in hand. I quietly completed the paperwork for your expulsion." Crowley said.
"Nnga! The nerve of this guy! While we were off fighting some crazy beast." Grim said. "Beast?" Crowley said. "There was a monster there! It was super gross and crazy strong, it was awful!" Ace said.
"Could you explain in more detail?" Crowley said. We all told about the beast as she show him proof of the black goo that is on her as he told us to follow him which we all did and we were in his office.
"Hoh hoohh. A mysterious monster living in the coal mine. The four of you worked together to defeat it and bring back a magic crystal?" Crowley said.
"We didn't work together..." ace said. "It was more like our goals were aligned..." deuce said. "Ooh.....0000000h.....000000HHHHH!!! 00000HHHHH!!!" Crowley said. That he started sobbing.
"What's with this guy? Why is an adult bursting into tears!?" Grim said. "In all these years that I've been headmaster..For the day to come that students from Night Raven College go
hand in hand to face and defeat their enemy!" Crowley said.
"What!? I did not hold this guy's hand!" Deuce said. "would never do that, gross! But headmaster, how old are you!?" Ace said. I love at them. "No, he said we went out there as a team. And we fought the monster, you know. Working together and stuffs." She explained to them.
Crowley agreed with what she said. "What aoi said! I am overwhelmed with emotion. This incident confirms it Aoi. Without a doubt, you have talent as a beast tamer!" Crowley said.
'Beast tamer? Wait, he did mention this but I didn't fully progressed it.' She thought. "Beast tamer? What that?" She asked him. She crossed her arms as she looked at him, she was confused about what he said.
"Students of Night Raven College are budding wizards called here by the Dark Mirror. However, they are of a superior class which makes them prideful and egotistical people that have not even the slightest inkling to work with others. Making many of them selfish and self-centered." Crowley said.
"You're not saying anything good." Grim said. "You cannot use magic. But, maybe, precisely because you cannot use magic means that you could give instructions to wizards and get them to cooperate. Perhaps that mediocrity is exactly what this school needs right now!" Crowley said.
"He's not saying anything nice is he!?" Ace said. "I do not doubt that your existence is essential to the future of this academy. So says my educator senses. Trapola. Spade. Along with rescinding your expulsion, I shall give you the qualifications to attend Night Raven College as a student!" Crowley said.
"Eehh?!?" We all said. "Even though I can't use magic?" She said. She looked at him with a confused face.
"Yes. For I am exceedingly gracious. But, there is one condition. You cannot use magic. Becoming a wizard is out of the question. You probably will not be able to complete all your lessons. That is why Grim. You have proven to me that you possess enough talent to become a
wizard. Therefore, I shall allow the two of you to enroll together, as one student." Crowley said.
"Ffgna!? I....... I can go to this academy too.......? Not as a handyman, but as a
student?" Grim said. She saw him be happy and excited about it as well. "Yes. Provided that! You don't ever let an incident like yesterday occur again! Do we have an agreement?" Crowley said.
"Ffgnaa..... Fffnaa..... We- we can." Grim said. "That's great!" I said. "Fígnnaaaaa!! I did it!!" Grim said. "Well then, I shall give the symbol of your status as a student of Night Raven College, a magic crystal, to Grim." Crowley said.
"Woah! A magic crystal!?" Grim said. "It is the norm for students to have their magic crystals in the form of a "magical pen" but, You wouldn't be able to grip it in your paws, right? It's a special custom. Aaah... I pay attention to even the smallest details! Aren't I too gracious?" Crowley said.
"I did it!! I'm so cool! I got my special magic crystal collar~~" grim said. "He isn't listening at all. Do you understand? As you can see Grim is not accustomed to human society. It's up to you to take the rein and supervise him to prevent from causing any more trouble!" Crowley said.
She nod her head as she looked at the excited grim. 'He is like a child, gets his first toy and wants to play with it all day.' She thought. "Aha! Look at you. School's just started but you're already a supervisor?" Ace said.
"I see. There are only the two of you in your dorm. So if you've been entrusted with supervising Grim, that makes you a supervisor." Deuce said.
"Pufft... Isn't that unheard of? For there to be a supervisor student who is unable to use magic. Nice. It's cool. A supervisor student who is unable to use magic!" Ace said.
She felt her heart beating fast as she felt herself blushing again. 'Take it as a compliment, nothing more.' She thought. "T-Thanks." She said. "Ahaha. Good luck, Supervisor!" Ace said.
She blush more as she looked away from them. "see, a supervisor. I do have a work request, and having a title makes it very convenient... This is wonderful! Supervisor. I entrust you with this." Crowley said.
He gave me, what looks like a camera of some sort. She looked at it as she stare at it. "....This is nicknamed the "ghost camera." Crowley said. "Ghost?" She questioned.
"Ah, I think my grandma told me about that. It's a super old magic tool right?" Ace said. "It is not "super old"..." Crowley said. He clears his throat.
"It's true this may have been invented during your great-grandmother's, or great great grandmother's time. There is a very special spell cast on it. It not only captures the subjects' form but also a part of their soul." Crowley said.
"A part of their soul..?" Deuce said. "We call this "Memory: A Fragment of Remembrance." Furthermore, the most interesting part of this magic camera is that the souls of the photographer and the photographed become deeply connected and the Memory in the photo comes jumping out!" Crowley said.
"It comes jumping out?" She asked him. "Depending on how close the subject and photographer are the
pictures could move like a video, or bring to life the situation in the photo. Fascinating, right?" Crowley said.
"Bring the photo to life? It's like a ghost photograph!" Deuce said. She looked at deuce as she looked at the camera then she looked at Crowley.
"Yes. Therefore it is called a "ghost camera." They say it was made before the time of videos for when people wanted to leave behind vivid memories...Spade was correct, in the past people would scream "ghost!" in surprise when the memory came jumping out. They were paralyzed with fear at the thought of having a photo taken with this camera." Crowley said.
"A camera for freaking people out.." ace said. "Supervisor. Please take photos of Grim and the other students to leave behind many memories of your lives in this academy." Crowley said. She nod her head at him.
"La-lalala. Take lots of cool photos of me~" grim said. She looked grim as he spin around happily. 'He going to tired himself out soon.' She thought.
"...Especially, always make sure to get "Memories" when someone steps out of line. It's the most suitable way to report to me, right? Keep an eye on your surroundings and take memories as the supervisor. To generously give you a rare item that can be used by non-
wizards..Does my graciousness know no bounds?" Crowley said.
"Thank you very much." She said. "It is already late. Let's save the detailed conversation for tomorrow. Return to your dormitories, everyone." Crowley said. "Pardon our intrusion." Deuce said. They all looks at him.
