"Savanaclaw!"

"..."

The intrigued silence before the Dark Mirror's choice was maintained for a few long seconds before turning tense.

".........."

Awkward and confused by the lack of a reaction, Yukiko looked around to see at least the people around her. Gaping faces and expressions of extreme confusion and shock were basically the only types she could see.

Yuu and Leona didn't say anything, the former was too stunned for that, and the latter was completely surprised. However, it was as if the others present there had agreed for once to shout the same thing in unison:

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?"

That didn't make her feel any better. Some bellowed their disbelief, and others stared at Leona.

"How is this possible!? This young lady... in Savanaclaw!?" Azul screamed, incredulous.

"Are you telling me that those big, kitten eyes are actually from a bloodthirsty lioness!?" Idia's altered voice asked from his tablet.

"It's true that some rabbit beastfolk ended up in Savanaclaw instead of our dorm... But wasn't Heartslabyul the most likely one for her to be sorted in!?" Riddle yelled.

Ortho re-created his holographic displays and looked at the probability percentages once again. "Heartslabyul displayed the highest probability, with a 73.5%... Diasomnia, third place with 6%; Ignihyde, the last place with 1%... Savanaclaw with only a 2%!? A 2% was never the final result!" He exclaimed.

"But how!?" Ace exclaimed. "Is this a joke!?"

Jack and Ruggie looked at each other, utterly shocked that their dorm had turned out to be the one for her.

Of all the people who were there, it could be seen that the ones who took the result the worst were Grim and the director.

"NOOOOOOO!!! My first Ramshackle student!!" Grim yelled tearfully before falling to the ground and wailing in utter defeat.

"This...sweet girl? The twin of our kind and considerate prefect...? Crowley asked, paralyzed, before exploding. "IN SAVANACLAW!? This can't be possible!! There must be a mistake!!! I DEMAND a redo for her soul!"

"...". The spirit of the Dark Mirror remained silent, without changing its expression.

"Don't come now with those silences, powerful Dark Mirror! You must have missed an important part of her character! Or you may have overrated something! If you don't want to put her on Pomefiore just for her looks, put her at least in Heartslabyul! Or even in Diasomnia or... I don't know, Scarabia!"

"I can't believe it, even the headmaster is questioning the Dark Mirror's decision..." Ruggie commented, astonished.

"But... It isn't supposed to make any mistakes, right!?" Deuce questioned.

"Supposedly not, but then why...!?" Ace exclaimed, pointing at Yukiko with both arms outstretched.

"We just met her, there must be something else we haven't seen yet," Jack added, unable to think of any other possibility as he looked at Yukiko, who came out of her bewilderment to examine her magical pen, whose gem had passed from being a grayish color to an intense yellow.

At the same time, Yuu also reacted and rushed over to his sister. "What's going on?" She asked, confused and worried by the ruckus.

"Nothing, it's really nothing," he assured while placing a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. "They're just... surprised, nothing else."
