***Hall of Mirrors***
3rd person POV:
Red-haired boy: “We're done with orientation and dorm assignments?
All right, new students—let me be clear. At Heartslabyul House, I am the law. Break the rules, and it's off with your head!”

Boy with lion ears: “*Yawn* Well, that ceremony was as boring as ever. I'm going back to the dorm. If you're in Savanaclaw House, follow me.”

Boy with glasses: “New students! Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your achievement. As dorm leader of Octavinelle House, I am honored to have the opportunity to support you in what I hope will be a fulfilling campus experience.”

Handsome Boy: “Hey, does anyone know where the headmage went? He disappeared midway through the ceremony…”

Floating Tablet: “Some headmage he is.”

Red-eyed boy: “Maybe he had a tummyache?”

Crowley walks in with Yuu, Grim, and C.C., who is clinging to his sleeve.

Crowley: “I most certainly did not!”

Red-haired boy: “Ah, speak of the devil.”

Crowley: “If you must know, I was searching for the new students who'd failed to show for orientation. You two are the only ones who have yet to be assigned a dorm. Step up to the Dark Mirror, and be quick about it. I'll watch your weasel.”

C.C. looks at Yuu in confusion before taking in his surroundings. Then, Crowley pushes him in front of the mirror.

The Dark Mirror: “State your name.”

C.C. thinks a bit before trying to speak, but nothing comes out. Then a deep voice can be heard.

“His name is Evan Afton,” the voice said. The room went quiet. Some students were looking around to see who spoke, but most just stood confused.

The Dark Mirror: “Evan Afton… The nature of your soul is…broken. I sense no magic within you, yet I do sense some power within you. You belong to Disomnia.”

The students stayed quiet. C.C. could hear someone mutter ‘What does it mean by broken?’. Then Yuu approached the Mirror.

The Dark Mirror: “State your name.”

Yuu: “I’m Yuu”

The Dark Mirror: “Yuu…The nature of your soul is..................unclear to me.”

Crowley: “What did you just say?”

The Dark Mirror: “I sense no magical power from this one. Soundless. Colorless. Shapeless. Utterly vacant. Therefore, no dorm would be appropriate.”

Crowley: “Are you suggesting that the black carriage went to receive a person who cannot even use magic? But that is absurd! The student selection process has not erred once in its century of existence! How could this have happened?”

C.C. gets bored of being confused and looks around at all the different people around him. He notices a boy with pink highlights, and walks over to him, hugging him and ignoring the chaos around him. The boy with pink highlights hugs back after a few minutes of surprise.

Grim: “Mmmph! Nnnrgggh... *GASP!* ME! Let ME have this student's seat!”

Crowley: “Not so fast, you hyperactive weasel!”

Grim: “Unlike that human, I can actually use magic! So let me be a student here! Look, I'll show you! My spells're the cat's meow!”

Red-haired boy: “Everyone, get down!”

Grim: “Myaaahhh!”

Grim blows fire around the Mirror Chamber, catching the red-eyed boy on fire along with many other items.

Red-eyed boy: “AHHHHH! HELP! I'm on fire over here!”

Crowley: “Someone catch that blasted animal before it sets the entire school ablaze!”

C.C. lets go of the boy with the pink highlights and walks over to the red-eyed boy before putting out the fire.

Red-eyed boy: “Thank you!”

Boy with lion ears: “Ugh. Can I go now, or…?”

Handsome boy: “Oh? I thought you fancied yourself a hunter. Go and help yourself to that plump little morsel!”

Boy with lion ears: “Too much effort. Do it yourself.”

Boy with glasses: “Allow me to handle this, Headmage Crowley. If none of you are up to the task of catching a small animal, I will accept the responsibility.”

Floating Tablet: “WTG Azul. Rackin' up those participation credits.”

Crowley: “I'm sorry, were my instructions unclear?!”

Boy with lion ears: “*Sigh* Preeetty sure you can handle catching one mangy weasel all on your lonesome there, headmage.”

Grim: “How many times do I gotta say it? I'm Grim, spellcaster extraordinaire! I am NOT a weasel!”

Azul: “Aren't you a spunky little fellow? Riddle, would you be so kind...?”

Riddle: “Furry miscreant. I will abide no rule-breaking. You will be judged by my hand.”
