"Pardon?! You're telling me you actually went to the Dwarfs' Mine in search of a magestone?" the headmage exclaim in shock as the four of you walk out of the mirror and into the mirror chamber "Uh...? Yes?" ace, deuce, ad grim said in the same time "I didn't expect that you'd seriously do it, And never in my wildest imaginings did I think you would actually return with a magestone! And here I spent all evening preparing your expulsion documents" the headmage said as you look at him bewilder 'Are you FUCKING kidding!?' you thought as you grip your katana "Are you serious?! While we were fightin' some crazy monster for you, you were expelling us?!" grim said as he floats closer towards the headmage ""Monster"...?" the headmage said crossing his arms and titling his head "Yeah. There was a monster, all right. A big, nasty one. It nearly killed us!" ace said as he glares at the headmage "Would you kindly relate this story in full?" the headmage ask as the five of you walk out of the mirror chamber

"Hmmm. So a mysterious monster was living in the mines. And the four of you worked together to destroy it, and then brought its magestone back to me?" the headmage repeated as he leans at his chair at his office "I don't know that I'd call it "working together."" ace denied "It was more like we just happened to share the same goal at the same time..." deuce corrected "Oh, gracious... Ohhh... Ohhhhhhhh!" the headmage sobbed as the four of you looks at the headmage in shock "What is this guy's deal?! Burstin' into tears in public? At this age?!" grim whispred as you, ace, and deuce nodded in agreement "In all the decades I've worked at this school... The day has finally come when the students of Night Raven College have joined hands together to defeat a common foe!" the headmage as he took out a napkin and wiping his tears "Whoa! No! No way would I join hands with that guy!" deuce said as he gave ace a dirty look "Okay, one, there was no joining of hands. Gross. And two, exactly HOW old are you, headmage?" ace said as he glares at deuce

"At this moment, I am moved beyond words this incident has proven my hopes were justified" the headmage said as he ignores ace question "[Name], my doubts are allayed! For you... You possess the talents of a beastmaster!" the headmage said as he stands up and walking towards at the four of you "A... A beastmaster?" you asked the headmage "My students have all been selected by the Dark Mirror for their exceptional talent and potential but great talent begets great pride and big egos most are so self-reliant and self-centered that they never even consider cooperating with others" the headmage explain as ace looks away blushing in embarrassment and deuce looking down "You make it sound like that's a bad thing" grim said as he glances at ace and deuce

"But you, [MC], possess no magic, Yet in spite of that - or perhaps because of it - you were able to convince those who CAN use magic to work together for a common goal the everyday, humdrum mundanity you possess may be exactly what Night Raven College needs!" the headmage said as he pats your head "But... none of those words are good things?" ace mumbles as you glared at him making him shut up "[Name]... I am convinced that people like you are necessary for the future of this school my educator's intuition tells me so, Trappola, Spade - I hereby revoke your pending expulsions! Furthermore, [Name]..." the headmage pauses before speaking "I am granting you the qualifications necessary to attend at Night Raven College!" he said as he dramatically wave his arms "WHAT?!" the four of you yelled in shock "As an actual student?!" you asked the headmage making him nod "Of course. This is extraordinarily kind of me however, there is one condition your inability to use magic is, for a mage, unacceptable. You would not be able to adequately pursue the school's curriculum! As for you, Grim..." the headmage said as he faces grim "Your actions today have made it clear that you possess sufficient talent to become a mage in light of the total sum of your respective circumstances, you and [Name] will share a single enrollment at Night Raven College" the headmage explain
