Once they made it back to Night Raven College, they quickly found the Headmage and presented him with the magestone. The Headmage examined the stone in his hand. "Pardon?! You're telling me you actually went to the Dwarfs' Mine in search of a magestone?" This surprised the four. "Uh...? Yes?"

"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." Headmage Crowley told. "E-Excuse me?! You were doing paperwork while we risk our lives out there?!" (Y/n) yelled as she was close to getting her weapons. Ace and Deuce quickly pulled her back. "Yeah!!! While we were fightin' some crazy monster for you, you were expelling us?!" Grim added with anger. ""Monster"...?" Headmage Crowley repeated. "Yeah. There was a monster, all right. A big, nasty one. It nearly killed us!" Ace held his arms up as he explained. "Would you kindly relate this story in full?" Headmage Crowley walked first as the others followed.

Inside the Headmage's Office, Headmage Crowley takes a seat at his desk as the others begin to explain everything that happened to them at the mine. "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?" He asked. "I don't know that I'd call it "working together."" Ace said. "It was more like we just happened to share the same goal at the same time..." Deuce sheepishly said. "Yes, we did work together to fight it off." (Y/n) admits. "Oh, gracious...Ohhh...Ohhhhhhhh!" Then Headmage Crowley sobs into his hands. "What is this guy's deal?! Burstin' into tears in public? At this age?!" Grim sweat dropped. "I believe he lost his mind." (Y/n) raised her brow. Headmage Crowley pulls out a tissue and dries his eyes. "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!" He wipes more of his tears. "Whoa! No! No way would I join hands with that guy!" Deuce points at Ace. "Okay, one, there was no joining of hands. Gross. And two, exactly HOW old are you, Headmage?" Ace spoke. "He means it figuratively not literally." (Y/n) gave them a bored look.

Headmage Crowley stopped his crying. "At this moment, I am moved beyond words. This incident has proven my hopes were justified." He turned towards (Y/n). "Princess (Y/n), my doubts are allayed! For you... You possess the talents of a beastmaster!"

"A beastmaster? Actually that shouldn't be a surprise. I have four animal companions back home." (Y/n) smiled. "And she did talk to some bears at the mine." Ace sweat dropped as Deuce nodded. "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." Headmage Crowley explains. "You make it sound like that's a bad thing." Grim crossed his little arms. "But you, (Y/n), possess different magic and abilities. Yet in spite of that - or perhaps because of it - you were able to convince those who can use THIS WORLD magic to work together for a common goal. The everyday, humdrum mundanity you possess may be exactly what Night Raven College needs!" Headmage Crowley smiled. "But... none of those words are good things?" Ace asked nervously "Princess (Y/n)...I am convinced that people like you are necessary for the future of this school. My educator's intuition tells me so." Headmage Crowley bragged.

'Lies.' (Y/n) thought.

Headmage Crowley turned to Ace and Deuce. "Trappola, Spade - I hereby revoke your pending expulsions!" He turns back to (Y/n). Furthermore, Princess (Y/n)...I am granting you the qualifications necessary to attend at Night Raven College!"

"WHAT?!" Deuce, Ace, and Grim yelled out. (Y/n) pointed at herself. "Me? A student?" Headmage Crowley smiled. "Of course. This is extraordinarily kind of me! However, there is one condition. Your inability to use magic from this world. You trying to be able to adequately pursue the school's curriculum could be a challenge!" He turns to Grim. "As for you, 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 (Y/n) will share a single enrollment at Night Raven College." He smiled
