Note: I realized that Crowley addresses the students by their last names with no honorifics, so from now on, he'll be addressing the Victorian duo without honorifics. I doubt he's gonna find out earlier about their previous life anyway, might save it around later chapters.

Also, I would like to apologize for not updating lately considering that I had family plans during my vacation and I didn't bring my laptop to write the chapters. Since I also kept my story notes in a document... Hopefully, this chapter won't disappoint. :)

-Ramshackle, Lounge-

"E-erm... This is... Quite the c-concern...", Crowley stuttered as he hesitantly took out the magic pens from the two Victorians, the trio sweat-dropped in silence mixed with fear as they tried to process what just happened "Th-That's bad right...?", Grim whispered close to the Heartslabyul duo as they silently nodded "Very bad...", Ace replied as the same sense of unease starts to come back.

"Hmm, now that's interesting...", Ciel muttered in amusement, he remembered the color of the stone they ate at the mines, it was similar "W-Well then, I'll inform Crewel about tailoring you two some uniforms, and here are your class schedules", Crowley mentioned as he handed the victorian duo their schedules, trying(failing) to avoid the visible trembles as he held them out to the Victorian duo and tries to steer away from the subject, he's starting to regret his decision...

"Moving on, I have two things to request", Ciel informed before the headmage leaves, the tense atmosphere seeming to dissipate, it was like the moment didn't bother the two. Ciel takes a quick glance at the schedules and then hands Sebastian his.

"A-Already deciding on the first order of business hm?", Crowley remarked, still trying to keep a safe distance from the duo as the newly appointed dorm prefect nodded "My first request as dorm prefect is to appoint Sebastian Michaelis as Vice Housewarden", Ciel stated as Crowley nodded in approval.

"I'll be sure to document it once I arrive at my office", Crowley mentioned as a bead of sweat ran down his temple, Sebastian bowed in acceptance to the role "I'll be sure to do my utmost effort", the butler firmly stated as he does his signature pose.

"Secondly, I request to abolish the name Ramshackle, giving the dorm and building proper names", Ciel announced as the headmage applauded at his decision while trying to push down his nervousness "O-Of course! This event won't be complete if we don't officiate a newly reborn dorm! What names do you have in mind?", Crowley asked.

"The building in the dorm will be named Phantomhive Manor, as for the dorm, it shall be named Faustian", Ciel stated, he remembered how Christian mythology is looked at as make belief among the people of this world. Even if they were myths, who are old enough to even remember to tell the tale if such creatures exist? (▶: "*loudly sipping coffee*")

"Splendid! It's an odd name for a dorm, b-but nevertheless! Guess that's more paperwork...", Crowley remarked as he muttered dejected with the workload waiting for him "Someone is on fire with their Housewarden duties!", Ace commented cheerfully as he complimented the Faustian Housewarden.

He tries to get on Ciel's good side as he doesn't want to test his temper and seeing what happened to the magestones when they came into contact... Yeah, better not find out unless he wants to keep his body intact.

"Guess that means we'll see you three around more often on campus", Deuce mentioned as Ace nodded in agreement "I guess this brings our discussion to a close! Due to this event, we shall have a dorm meeting after class hours, be sure to attend Phantomhive", Crowley informed as he begins to head out the dorm, he wanted out of the duo's vicinity asap.
