(Y/n) begins to wake up from the strange dream she had. Once she opened her eyes, she noticed that she was in a strange coffin. She calls out for help, but she hears something outside. "What's that noise?" She asked herself. "I better hurry up and find that uniform before someone spots me..." A voice said. "Urgggh... This lid weighs a ton! Try this on for size! Mya-ha!" Suddenly blue flames started to appear. (Y/n) gasped in fright. She was so thankful to the gods that she still had her tessen war fans and used her wind magic to stop the flames. Suddenly the coffin was opened by a strange creature. "Now to grab the goods...What?! You ain't supposed to be awake!" The strange little creature screams. (Y/n) crocked her head to the side before her eyes widened at the creature. "A talking...weasel?!"
"How... How DARE YOU! I am no WEASEL! I'm Grim, sorcerer extraordinaire!" The creature known as Grim crossed his arms. "Tch. Whatever. You...human! Just gimme your uniform, and be quick about it!" He unleashed his blue flames and before he knew it, (Y/n) put out the fire with her tessen war fan. She steps out of the coffin to see that she is indeed wearing the robe that Grim was talking about. She was admiring the beautiful robe and adjusted the hood for her to see clearer, but then she remembered something. "Mother! Father!" (Y/n) quickly dashed out of the room. "Hey! Get back here!" Grim follows after her. (Y/n) didn't know where she was going. All she knows is that she's trying to find her parents. Somehow, she ended up in a library as she continued to call out to her family. "What is this place?" (Y/n) asked herself as she looked around the library. Grim finally caught up to her. He pants before he gives a smug look. "Foolish human! Did you really think you could slip away from ME?" (Y/n) just rolled her eyes and put her tessen war fans away. Seeing that she has the advantage in size, all she had to do was karate chop his head to teach him some respect.
"Now, unless you wanna get burned to a crisp, take off that—" Suddenly, Grim was tied up with a whip. "Me-YEOW! That hurt! What gives?" He struggles to get free. "Consider it tough love." A masked man comes out as he holds Grim tight. "Ah, I've found you at last. Splendid. I trust you're one of this year's new students?" The masked man turned towards (Y/n). "My, were you ever eager to make your debut. And bringing a poorly trained familiar with you? That is a clear violation of the school's rules." The masked man scolded. "As if I'd serve some lowly human! Now lemme go!" Grim wiggled to get free. "Yes, yes. Rebellious familiars always say that. Do be quiet for a bit, won't you?" The masked man covered Grim's mouth. His voice was muffled. "Actually, sir. That creature doesn't belong-" (Y/n) was cut off.
"Dear me. Of all the students I've dealt with, you're the first with temerity enough to open their own gate and step out of it. Does the very notion of patience elude you?" The masked man questioned as (Y/n) gave him a blank stare.
'What in the name of the elder gods is this man talking about?' (Y/n) thought.
"No matter. Your orientation has already begun. Let us return to the Mirror Chamber." He led (Y/n) out of the library. "Student? Wait, what gate?" (Y/n) questioned.
"You awakened in a room full of gates, did you not? All of the students here at the campus arrived by passing through such gates. Although typically the students have restraint enough to wait until I open them before waking up." The masked man explains as he leads (Y/n) in the hallway. "You mean that coffin I was inside is...a gateway?" (Y/n) was getting more confused. "The design is intended to symbolize a parting with your former world and a rebirth into a new one." The masked man told. "But now is not the time for such prattle. You've a student orientation to attend! Go on, now. Make haste." The masked man then began to rush (Y/n). Still having unanswered questions, (Y/n) paused their walking. "Just hold on one moment! I still have questions about what is going on here. Where am I and who are you?" (Y/n) crossed her arms. "Hm? Have you not fully regained consciousness? The time-space teleportation must have addled your memories...Well, these things happen, I suppose. I shall explain it to you while we walk. Truly, my magnanimity is boundless." The masked man gave a smile.
