Y'all better calm down, I just made this book...

(Name) and the black-haired man continued following the mysterious crow-masked man, the demoness was still observing the place. It reminds her of RAD, this place looks more like a castle than a school due to its style and structure...

     "All students who were picked by the ebony carriage or rather chosen were meant to pass through the Gates using a special key," the crow-masked man said to them. "It seems that the cause of your coffins lid opening is your familiar, mister. Normally, the coffin is opened by using a special key."

     "He's not my familiar-" the black-haired man tried to interfere with the mysterious man's statement. "It's fine, my dear. I understand how hard to tame a familiar as a youngster, I was also like that before. If you want to keep it with you, you must take full responsibility and properly take care of it. Am I understood?

     "He's not mine-"

     "What's your name, Mister?" (Name) asked the crow-masked man. He blinked at her, surprised, "The teleportation magic must have left some information to give you. It's completely fine, anyway, it happens often enough. Allow me to introduce myself, for I am gracious."

     (Name) chuckled nervously, "I see, sir."

     "This is Night Raven College, one of the prestigious schools in Twisted Wonderland. Magicians within this world that is unique in their way are picked up by the ebony carriage for them to study here," the crow-masked man told them. "I'm Dire Crowley, the appointed Headmaster of the board chairman. It's a pleasure to meet you two."

     "How are we chosen?" The black-haired man asked. Crowley laughed lightly, "The Dark Mirror chooses the worthy ones in the whole world, the ebony carriage will pick them up once a new year comes in. The new students are the only ones that are picked up with a special carriage nowadays."

     'How peculiar, I didn't see such clairvoyance of this scene when I used my power yesterday... I should do a lot of research until I find my way back to Devildom,' (Name) thought. She did try teleporting back to Devildom, but her magic must've disoriented her, causing her to not go back. "Enough idle chit-chat, we must go to the ceremony before it's too late!" Crowley exclaimed, taking the individual's arms.

- Entrance Ceremony Chamber -

     "Is that all the new students?" A man with cherry-like hair asked his fellow dorm leaders. He looks like a child, but his attitude says otherwise as he said, "Listen up new first years! Here in Heartslabyul, I am the dorm leader and you must not break a rule I say! Break them off, it's off your head!" He threatened, his ocean-blue eyes glaring at every student.

     Another one groaned as he stretched his arms, "The boring ceremony is finally over," he yawned. It seems that he's a hybrid, half-animal, and half-human. His ears twitched in annoyance, he has brown eyes with matching turquoise eyes. "All Savanaclaw students, follow me."

     "To the new students, I congratulate you for entering this school and managing to enter Octavinelle! I hope we'll enjoy this school year together!" A silvery-violet-haired man with glasses and a mole under his mouth exclaimed. "As the dorm leader of Octavinelle, I'll do my best to support you!"

     "Have you guys seen the Headmaster?" The beautiful blonde-haired man asked his fellow dorm leaders, his blonde hair stands out because of its purple tips which are the same as the eye color of his eyes. They heard a robotic huff, "He's abandoning his post again." It's a tablet.

     "Did he get a bad stomach?" An innocent-looking cutie asked them. He has a turban wrapped around his white hair.

     Suddenly the door opened wide, revealing the 4 individuals. (Name) followed behind Crowley while the other two were held by the Headmaster, a lot of men were watching them. She didn't pay attention to them and continued walking, "Not at all!" Crowley yelled.

     "Ah, finally he's here..." The cherry-haired man whispered. Crowley huffed and took (Name) with the black-haired man in front of him, "I can't believe that we're missing two students, so I went to find them! Now, you first, so you can get designated to which dormitory you're selected and pull your robe down once it asks your name." He told (Name).

(Name) placed her hands in front of her, walking towards the mirror. She wasn't nervous or anything if something happens, she can see the future happenings. She gave the black-haired man a nod with a smile...

State thy name...

     "(Name) or Barbatos," she said as she lowered her hood. Her feminine features stood out, making the audience gasp in surprise, she merely smiled despite the frantic gasping and clapping from behind her.

     "That's impossible!" Crowley yelled.

Your shape and color... They're alluring, very alluring...

I assign you to... DIASOMNIA!

     "She seems scary and kind at the same time, don't you think?"

     "Pretty..."

     "That's surprising!"

     Crowley took (Name)'s shoulders, turning her around, "How are you selected?" He asked. (Name) gave a smile only as she went to her respective dorm, not minding Crowley's question. "In my whole life of being Headmaster, this is the first time the ebony carriage brought a woman into this school.

She placed a finger above her lips as she and the black-haired man made eye contact...
