The students and Trein turn to see the student council president walking towards them.

He says, "I've been expecting you."

"Hm?" Malleus replies.

Walking towards them is the student council president and two other students.

The Student Council says, "Esteemed guests from Night Raven College, welcome to Noble Bell College".

"Judging by your uniform, you must be the student the headmage mentioned," Trein says.

The student nods, "That's right. My name is Rollo Flamme. I serve as the student council president here."

"Oh, interesting. Our school doesn't have an independent student council, but it sounds like you all do," Riddle says.

"Indeed," Rollo says, "And while it may sound presumptuous, one could call it the face of our school. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Idia yelps, "Ack! Immediate encounter with strangers!"

"Isn't the whole point of this social to meet strangers?" Azul says.

"Hm... This human named Rollo... There's something about his presence..." Sebek says.

Rollo remains silent.

"He's not smiling at all... Is he angry about something?" Eepl asks, worried.

"I'm not sure," Briar whispers.

Rolli says, "This is our vice president, and this is our aide. When they heard they could meet with such an esteemed group, they dropped everything and came running. The entirety of Noble Bell College welcomes you. Our school is small compared to yours, and you may find it lacking in some ways, but we beg your indulgence."

"How courteous. You have impeccable manners for someone so young," Trein says.

"Huh, guess he just has resting deadpan face. But he's actually nice!" Deuce replies.

Silver agrees, "Yeah. I'm glad we weren't doing anything to offend him."

Tanzanite nods in response.

Then Rolo says, "We couldn't allow you to keep hauling your luggage around, of course. Let me show you to your rooms. I'm afraid it's a bit of a walk. We can use it as an opportunity to get better acquainted, though."

Idia groans, "Ugh, here we go with the guy who always wants to break the ice before gettin' to the main event... You can't expect me to chat up a total stranger!""

"Why is he even here?" Riddle questions.

"Not the most promising start..." Trein responds.
