the feeling of passing through the magic mirror felt quite strange and a bit nauseating but it wasn't anything too bad. after everything they went through they just wanted to flop themselves down on their beds and get a good night sleep. unfortunately they still had to hand over the magestone to crowley before doing so. troublesome isn't it?

'Crowley better be grateful, lest he'll get what he deserves.'

─┉┈ ꨄ︎ ┈┉─

the three musketeers and their cat all stood there as crowley tried to make sense of what they had just told him, “Pardon?! You're telling me you actually went to the Dwarfs' Mine in search of a magestone?” he squinted his eyes at the magestone in his hands-which was previously handed over to him by the trio- as if making sure it wasn't fake.

everyone in the room(—crowley & [y/n]) stared dumbfoundedly at the headmage. “Uh..? Yes?” crowley's eyes narrowed at their words, “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 others felt themselves irk a little. so all of their words of retrieving a magestone was just a joke to him?

“Are you serious?!” angrily yelled grim. "While we were fightin' some crazy monster for you, you were expelling us?!" crowley eyed grim curiously, “''Monster''...?” he asked, uncrossing his arms as he stared in an intrigued manner at the cat. grim nodded as ace replied, “Yeah. There was a monster, all right. A big, nasty one. It nearly killed us!”

crowley lift a hand to cup his chin, pondering over their words, “Would you kindly relate this story in full?”

─┉┈ ꨄ︎ ┈┉─

moving the conversation to the headmage's office, ace, deuce, and grim relayed the story to the intrigued principal. while they did [y/n] observed the vicinity, taking interest on the floating pictures that depicted the great seven in front of crowley's desk. her attention shifted to the headmage when he spoke up.

“Ho-ho.” huffed out crowley, the story that was told to him settling in his mind. 'Santa Claus who?—'

“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?” crowley's voice was laced with doubt, not believing that some of his students actually set their prides down for such a dire situation.

ace rubbed his nape, “I don't know that I'd call it ''working together.''” he said doubtfully. “It was more like we just happened to share the same goal at the same time...” added deuce.

crowley then brought his hands up to his face. “Oh, gracious... Ohhh... Ohhhhhhhh!” it had surprised all of them when the headmage started to sob uncontrollably, crocodile tears running down down his pale cheeks as his wails irritated their ears. his shoulders shook and tears ran down
[y/n] grimaced in disgust as she backed away from the weeping man. “What is this guy's deal?! Burstin' into tears in public? At this age?!” uttered grim in disbelief.

crowley paid no attention to their reactions as he continued sniffle and cry, “In all the decades I've worked at this school...” he started. “The day has finally come when the students of Night Raven College have joined hands together to defeat a common foe!” he cried in absolute happiness.
