'The Righteous...Judge?" Grim asks.
"Oh, you're not familiar? He was a great individual; all the history books say so," Riddle says.
And Trein says, "The freshmen might not know, but I DO cover him in sophomore History of Magic."
"Of course, I remember the lesson, Professor. I would never forget your teachings,' Ruggie says.
"Uh, I dunno... Maybe my class hasn't gotten to him yet?" Ruggie says.
Trein sighs, "A remedial lesson it is, then. The Righteous Judge is a prominent figure in Fleur City's history. He was known to be highly impartial and always delivered appropriate verdicts. He's a notable historical figure, on par with the Great Seven themselves."
"Precisely," Rollo says, "The story goes that his fair judgments brought peace to the city when scoundrels threw it into turmoil."
"Wow, what a cool legend!" Deuce says.
"Everyone in Fleur City holds him in the highest esteem. The students of Noble Bell College, likewise, seek to emulate his honorable conduct," Rollo says.
Soon, a loud ringing of a bell appears, and it sounds like it can be heard for miles.
Idia cries out in shock, "AHHH! What the what?!'
'Was that...a bell?" Malleus asks.
"It was rather loud," Azul says.
"Very loud," Sereia says
"Yes, that was the Bell of Solace," Rollo answers.
"The Bell of Solace?" Briar replies.
"Talk about a grandiose name..." Idia says.
"Oh, it's most deserved," Rollo says, "The bell is an incredibly unique and valuable magical artifact that's been part of our school for generations."
"You all must treasure it. Is it comparable to the Dark Mirror at Night Raven College?" Malleus asks.
"Mm, yes," Trein answers, "Many arcane academies possess magical artifacts that become emblematic of their school. It's been many years since I've heard the Bell of Solace, myself."
"Oh? Have you been here before?" Azul asks.
"Decades ago, yes. I came here on my honeymoon. We never got to actually see the bell—it's very rare and valuable, you understand—but my wife was quite taken with its beautiful tones," Trein explains.
"Would you like to see it now?" Rollo asks.
"May we truly?" Trein asks.
"Certainly," Rollo says, "The whole purpose of this social is to gain a better understanding of one another."
"I hope you all appreciate how lucky you are. You will not get many occasions to view another school's magical artifact in person," Trein says.
"A rare bell, huh... I bet it's all shiny and made of pure gold!" Ruggie says.
"What an object of beauty it must be. I can hardly contain my excitement!" Rook says.
Rollo then turns to where the bell is, "That tall edifice there is the bell tower. You'll find the bell on the top floor."
