"I dare to dream that she might even care for me and as I ring the bells tonight."

Noble Bell College

"Have you all finished changing?" the Vice President asked, stepping inside the room where Night Raven's group had retreated to change, with his aide standing by and Rollo waiting patiently just outside.

"Just...gimme a minute..." Idia groaned, dead tired. "My stamina gauge is in the red over here..." he breathed out

"Don't even think of keeping Malleus, Isfrid, and Y/n waiting. All of you, get changed this instant!" Sebek ordered, pulling his coat on in a hurry.

"No one's done yet, yourself and Malleus, Isfrid, and Angelfish included." Azul remarked in disbelief.

"Ah ain't never seen a getup like this before...How do I even put it on?!" Epel struggled, staring at the unfamiliar outfit.

"Ahaha, that's where you put your arms, not your head!" the aide chuckled, stepping forward to help Epel.

"Heh heh heh, by all means ask us if anything confuses you!" the Vice President encouraged.

"Mon cher, need any help in there?~" came Vanitas's syrupy voice from just outside the curtain to Y/n's changing area.

"Vanitas..." Noé sighed heavily, already rubbing his temples.

"Don't you dare, Vanitas!" Isfrid's sharp voice rang out, wings bristling from across the room.

"Stay away from my love, rat," Malleus added coolly, glaring without even turning his head.

"But I hear her struggling!" Vanitas cried dramatically. "I wasn't even planning anything!"

"Yet!" Noé, Isfrid, and Malleus practically echoed in warning.

"I'm figuring things out..." Y/n's soft voice murmured from behind the curtain.

"All this goofing around..."  Rollo muttered under his breath outside, clearly growing more and more irritated. His eyes flicked toward the entrance, narrowing slightly when Vanitas's laughter echoed through the stone hallway.

"Hello, Flamme." Trein greeted as he approached Rollo, offering a mild smile.

"Ah, Professor Trein." Rollo turned with a faint nod of acknowledgment. "What can I do for you?" he asked.

"I wanted to thank you for your generous hospitality. Clothing is an embodiment of the culture it comes from and can provide us with a glimpse into different time periods. This is a fine opportunity for my student to get a hands-on history lesson, " Trein said thoughtfully.

"Please, think nothing of it." Rollo replied politely, his voice calming. "Perhaps we should have arranged attire for you as well, though. That was a grave oversight on our part." he offered.

Trein chuckled and shook his head. "It's quite all right, I assure you. I don't need the other teachers poking fun at me for dressing like the students when I get back."

"Hmhmhm, sounds like you're on friendly terms with the rest of your faculty," Rollo offered, tilting his head.

"Heh heh, hardly." Trein responded, arms crossed with a tired smile. "They're a raucous group and a constant source of embarrassment."
