"What're the other dorms like?" Grim asked intrigued.

Trey smiled before giving a mighty information dump explaining each of the dorms and their emulations.

"Like Cater just said, there are seven dorms each emulating one of the Great Seven.

Our dorm, Heartslabyul, is founded on the strict spirit of the Queen of Hearts.

Next is... Savanaclaw, the dorm founded on the fortitude of the King of Beasts.

Octavinelle, the dorm founded on the benevolence of the Sea Witch.

Scarabia, the dorm founded on the deliberation of the Sorcerer of the Sand.

Pomefiore, the dorm founded on the strenuous efforts of the Beautiful Queen.

Ignihyde, the dorm founded on the diligence of the King of the Underworld.

And, Diasomnia, the dorm founded on the elegance of the Witch of Thorns."

"But if there are only seven dorms in the image of the Great Seven, why does Ramshackle exist?" [Name] questioned, a valid query that had been picking uncomfortably at her mind. "It doesn't make sense to build an extra dorm room when there's no emulation to go off from..."

"You do make a valid point..." Deuce muttered with a hand propped against his chin in speculation. "Maybe! It was the Great Eight! But maybe something from their past came out and their name was removed from history!"

"Pfff that's a bit of stretch." Ace laughed. "Ramshackle was probably built to house students that weren't worthy to be put in other dorms, besides that's where a magicless student like our little Supervisor and Grim got put into. It would make sense."

"Care to elaborate on that, cuck?" [Name] narrowed her eyes towards him. But Ace merely laughed and sang at her.
"No!~"


"Ace, you're so cruel! No wonder you get no ladies," Cater mused twirling a strand of [Name's] hair as he leaned on her.

She raised a brow, unimpressed.

"At least I ain't a Simp." Ace smirked.

"Watch it little freshman." Cater smiled, though the comment had clearly gotten to him. Exchanging a shallow look from across the table. [Name] hands got sticky with sweat at the sudden tension loitering in the air. Wasn't Cater the one who said they should all get along from now on?... Grim, surprisingly intelligent at that moment, slipped himself between Cater and [Name] on the bench, sitting proudly between the two.

It must've been a trick of the light because she could have sworn a ghost of irritation on Cater's face.

"Now, now, enough with the playground insults." Trey, once again, was to the rescue. "Continuing. Which dorm you enter is based on the judgement of the Dark Mirror when it looks at your soul during the entrance ceremony... So each dorm has its own quirks about them."

"You're right about that. I totally see it." Cater scanned his attention round to the cafeteria. His cheery demeanour swiftly returning.

"What... quirks?" Deuce said.

"For example... Look, over there."

Trey gestured to a tall and bulky boy, with light brown skin and silvery hair. But the most interesting thing about him was that he possessed both wolf-like ears and a tail, protruding from tailored school trousers. [Name] gasped and eyes dilated with stars and hearts at the fluffy texture of his bushy tail and ears, a sudden desire to hug the waving appendage. She clasped her hands over her mouth to stifle her squeals and awe. "Puppy...!"
