3rd person POV:
"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!" the red-haired boy says.

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

"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." the boy with glasses states.

"Hey, does anyone know where the headmage went? He disappeared midway through the ceremony..." the beautiful boy asks.

"Some headmage he is" the floating tablet says.

"Maybe he had a tummyache?" the boy with red eyes says.

Carmin's POV:
'Meeting this flying ferret Grim, then this dang headmaster Crowley. A lot is going on, and now we're going to a ceremony, this isn't going to end well.'

We walk into the room holding the ceremony. 'Floating mirrors? Odd? At least there's other people here' I look around before hearing Crowley say, "I most certainly did not!" Then the red-haired boy spoke, "Ah, speak of the devil."

Crowley defends himself by saying, "If you must know, I was searching for the new students who'd failed to show for orientation. You are the only four who has yet to be assigned a dorm. Step up to the Dark Mirror, and be quick about it. I'll watch your weasel." Grim just growled in complaint.

I sigh and look at my friends, we all share a nod and Jackson steps up. "State your name" the mirror demands. Jackson Replies, "Jackson." We wait a few minutes before the Mirror speaks up again, "I sense otherworldly power from this soul, a flame in the machine. You belong to the Ignihyde Dorm."

I see the people around us look in shock when it was mentioned that Jackson had other worldly powers. I turned my attention back to Jackson who had been moved next to the students around the floating tablet. I look over at Alex who nods at me, then I walk over to stand in front of the mirror. "State Your Name" The mirror demands again. "Carmin," I reply. Again, the mirror stays silent  for a few minutes before speaking up, "I sense otherworldly power from this soul, the beauty of a Queen. You belong to the Pomefiore Dorm."

Looking around, the students are shocked once more, then I see what I assumed to be my dorm's leader. I walk over to stand by him and my peers, then Alex steps up. "State your name" the mirror demands again. "Alex." Alex states. Once again the room goes silent and then the mirror speaks, "I sense otherworldly power from this soul, the smarts and kindness of an advisor. You belong to the Scarabia Dorm." The red eyed boy looks ecstatic and waves, in which Alex walks over to him, leaving the last boy to go.

"State your name" the mirror demands once more. The boy hesitantly replies, "I'm Yuu..." The room goes quiet once more before the mirror speaks, "Yuu... The nature of your soul is..................unclear to me." The room goes quiet in shock, I look over at my friends in confusion, in return they just shrug at me.

"What did you just say?" Crowley asks in disbelief. "I sense no magical power from this one. Soundless. Colorless. Shapeless. Utterly vacant. Therefore, no dorm would be appropriate." the mirror states.

'Poor boy, I remember back when we were just newbies at camp, it was tough not knowing where you belong'

"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?" Crowley asks in disbelief. "Mmmph! Nnnrgggh... *GASP!* ME! Let ME have this student's seat!" Grim exclaims. "Not so fast, you hyperactive weasel!" Crowley says while trying, and failing, to hold back 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!" Grim exclaims.

'That's just plain rude! Oh shit. Here he goes with the fire, again.' I look over at Jackson, whose eyes widen in realization, before getting into a defensive position. I look over to Alex, who nods and holds a card in his hand. "Everyone, get down!" the red-headed boy yells. I flinch a bit, and so do the others before we get down. "Myaaahhh!" Grim yells while blowing fire all over the room. "AHHHHH! HELP! I'm on fire over here!" the boy with red eyes screams.

I cover my ears and look over at Jackson, who hears his plea and quickly takes the boy's robes off, stomping out the fire, before taking his own robe off and wrapping it around the boy. "Thank you!" the boy with red eyes says to Jackson. 'Good job Jackson' "Someone catch that blasted animal before it sets the entire school ablaze!" Crowley demands."Ugh. Can I go now, or...?" the boy with lion ears grumpily asks. "Oh? I thought you fancied yourself a hunter. Go and help yourself to that plump little morsel!" the handsome boy beside me says. "Too much effort. Do it yourself." the boy with the lion ears remarks.

"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." the boy with glasses states. "WTG Azul. Rackin' up those participation credits." the voice from the tablet complements. "I'm sorry, were my instructions unclear?!" Crowly angrily asks. I sigh and take off one of my shiny bracelets, tossing it around Grim, who is very distracted.

Then I hear them and smirk. "Passalos, Akmon! There's a run away creature with a shiny bracelet! It's yours if you can catch him!" Everyone stops in shock when the two Kerkopes appear and start chasing a now knowing Grim.
