All the students assembled in the hall waiting for the professors to show up.
They would soon be allocated to a house and then find a new place to live. There were students filled with euphoria while others were scared.

Asta, Yuno and Rill stood together. Asta was excited and was thinking which house he will go to, Yuno was calm as usual and rill was praying to go to the same squad as Asta.

"Uh s-sorry" said the girl who hit Asta's shoulder. She had orange hair rich clothes, green eyes And an aura of comfort around her.

"It's alright" Asta says as he see the shy girl mix in the group and disappear.

"She was weird!" Asta exclaims

"Everyone is weird in the eyes of a weird person"remarks Yuno

"Yah that's true..wait what! are you trying to say" quarrels Asta

Before Yuno could say anything the hall was attacked by bunch of crows. All of them started shouting, screaming, praying that they do not get eaten raw by the black monster.

All the crows assembled at the stage a figure appeared before them, pink hair, pointy hat scary eyes long gown.

"That must be witch of the damned, she is really scary isn't she?" Inquires a boy with yellow hair

"Very" replies Asta

Yuno ignores the mage while Rill just nod his head.

"You must be rill Boismortier"inquires another mage that was coming towards them.

"Yah and you?"

The mage who asked the question grit his teeth wondering that he was also a high noble, they have met in several banquets how can he not know him.

"*Cough* my name is Salem.."

Before Salem could complete the another mage interrupted

"I am sekke Bonzaza ba ha"

"Ba-ba" asta tries to copy Sekke

Yuno did not even bother to look at them.

"I hope you are not going to choose any house other than Slytherin?"

"I-i don't want to.."rill tried to stand up for himself but was interrupted

"Did you say you won't" Salem gives an angry look to Rill trying to dominate him which was working

"Can you just leave we were having a good time until you showed up." Yuno threatens Salem

"This.."being humiliated he left just to get back at him atleast his work was done.

Rill appeared to be a very scared mage but there was no one who can beat him in theory paper and he was a completely different person when he fought. Even the headmaster Julius Novachrono praises him. The only reason yuno stood first was because of phenomenal difference between their mana. Rill had a lot of mana but it was no where near Yuno whose mana could cover the entire country. The only person who could rival him in terms of mana was the queen Lolopechika Grinberyal.

The moment the figure standing on the dias opened her mouth silence filled the hall.

"I am Queen of the witches, I am one of the four mages who made this school..."

"She is what?"asta was surprised and shocked at the same time.

"You see she has lived for 700 years and hides inside the Walls of clover high, it is her house prefect Kirsch vermilion who handles everything, no one dares to say anything to her, out of respect and fear."sekke replies

"The first student Mimosa Vermilion please come and sit on the chair."

"Y-yes"a girl screamed and the orange haired girl who hit asta entered the stage and sat on the chair which was placed at the center.

The witch queen removed her pointy hat and placed it on the girl head.

"A Slytherin she must be but she chooses not to, her bravery deserves our solute so I place you in the house Griffindor" the words came out of the hat as soon as as it was placed on mimosa.

"Th-the hat spoke"asta spoke it out loud although he wasn't the only one who found it surprising on the other hand, for yuno it was extremely disturbing, he couldn't bear the thought that it was going to be placed on his head.

"Silence! Now the second royal, Noelle Silva" witch queen summoned noelle but she didn't show up. She called out her name few more times but still she did not show up.

It was strange because every name was supposed to be called out just once, perhaps being royalty had more perks than one could imagine.

"Now since she isn't hear let's welcome the man of honor he stood first in the examination, Yuno"

Yuno walked towards the stage and all the girls were flabbergasted to see such a fine specimen good looking, genius and God knows what more.

He sat on the chair and waited for that disgusting thing to be placed on his head.

When the hat had a contact with Yuno, he realised that the hat was drinking his blood and it was not the hat which had his own mouth but it was the subconscious of a mage.

"What a genius you are I am tempted to put you in Ravenclaw but you might pose a threat to the queen so let's just put you in Griffindor considering your background is unknown."

"How did he manipulated my hat to say this" witch queen ponders

"Trying to eat my blood now become a victim of a rumour that 500 year old witch is scared of a 15 year old mage." Yuno walks away with a smirk.

"You know these rumours won't bother me"

Yuno was surprised that the queen heard his thought but then he just got so agitated. The blood allowed witch queen to have full control over him, now she can literally hear his every thought and spy on him. Yuno was defeated this time he stepped down the Diaz without a word and still held the expression of an invincible battle hero.

"Now Rill Boismortier"

Rill went to the stage adjusting his specs. he just like yuno realized that the hat was sucking his blood he started screaming and panicking. The queen without wasting any second snapped her finger and Rill was calm again. She switched of his response to fear. Although Rill was still scared he did not know how to react.

"Oh please not Slytherin, a funny kid indeed, since there is nothing good about you, except for your pure heart I place you in Hufflepuff."

Rill walked out of the stage seeing angry face of Salem. Why wouldn't he be, he lost two aces one a royal and latter a genius.

Salem was the next and as expected he was placed in Slytherin.

Many others were called and was placed in a squad.
