The Beginning of a New Adventure

The walk to the school building and up all the endless stairs aren't nearly enough time for the woman to make up her mind as she basically keeps going in circles about which she should pick.

Besides her internal dilemma, their walk is rather uneventful and in a comfortable silence, with the exception of Lilia reacting with fascination when her body again reacts with the mirror.

Now approaching the door leading to Crowley's office, the Vice Housewarden of Diasomnia tries to reassure her one last time,

"Just trust your gut... though, maybe you should just join Diasomnia! Khee hee hee, those three really could use more friends like you."

And just like that, he vanishes before Y/n can say anything.

Standing alone in the corridor, she turns around to face the door and doesn't wait to knock, instead she kicks it open,

"CROWLEY!"

The Devil Fruit user watches as the startled Headmage fumbles around to shove several papers into the drawer of his desk and then stands there rigidly. Y/n stares him down and asks,

"What were those-"

"SO! *cough* You're already done with your tour of the dorms? Wonderful, haha! Well then, what do you think of them?"

After interrupting her and changing the subject, Crowley gestures for her to take a seat as he fixes his sleeves and brushes off imaginary dust off before sitting down himself.

'That is a completely normal reaction.'

Brushing the weirdness aside, she answers him,

"Oh yeah, they're all really... interesting... that's for sure."

A bit disappointed in her unenthusiastic tone, Crowley worries that some of the students might have been rude to her, made her feel unwelcome or even made her uncomfortable, and plans to address this later with the Housewardens at the next meeting. Still, he hopes that at least one of the dorms is enough to her liking.

The Headmage continues with an encouraging smile,

"Now that you've been able to get a deeper insight into all of the dorms and how they function, have you decided which one you'd like to join?"

"Well...",

Y/n looks away, wishing that the answer would just fall into her hands,

"About that, I-"

"HEADMAGE!!!"

The door bursts open as Yuu, Grim, Deuce and Ace stumble in. Their clothing slightly roughed up and tired is written all over their faces. Deuce steps forward and clarifies,

"We did it! We got the magestone!"

"Pardon?! You're telling me you actually went to the Dwarfs' Mine in search of a magestone?"

Confused by Crowley's bewilderment, the four hesitantly say 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!",

He says the next part to himself,

"And here I spent all evening preparing your expulsion documents."

Of course, everyone hears him and is outraged at him. While Y/n debates jumping over the desk to punch him, Grim expresses his anger with the others ready to back him up,

"Are you serious?! While we were fightin' some crazy monster for you, you were expelling us?!"

" "Monster"...?"
