The Mirror Chamber faces the same treatment from the Magicam monsters. The Pomefiore students are at their wits end with them.

"All this embarrassing behavior... I can't stand it anymore!"

"I challenge you to a duel." A student throws his glove to the floor. "The gauntlet is thrown. Pick it up!"

A guest walks over and spots the glove on the floor. "Hey, buddy. You dropped your glove."

"Oh, thanks." The student pick up the glove. "I need tha- Wait, you just made me pick it up myself! YOU'RE supposed to pick it up!"

The guest laughs. "Your comedic timing is PERF, my guy. Wanna film some sketch comedy and post it together?"

"I'll take a quick shot to commemorate the new duo! Yay!"

The student glares at the guests. "It's one embarrassment after another. This is unbearable!"

"You dare to run from a duel? Face us with honor!"

Rook runs over, trying to stop any fights before they break out. "No fighting, s'il vous plaît! Please, stop this at once."

Vil walks into the room and sees the mess for himself. "Would someone care to explain just what in Twisted Wonderland is happening here? My students are beside themselves with fury and visitors are taking pictures in the Mirror Chamber! That is STRICTLY prohibited."

Epel rushes over to Vil. "What are you doing here, Vil? Whatever you do, don't come in!"

Before Vil could say anything, several guest surround him. They take many pictures of Vil using their flash, practically blinding him.

"OH EM SQUEE! It's Vil Schoenheit!"

"He's really here! And get a load of that costume!"

"Talk about legs! And you could cut glass on those cheekbones!"

Vil holds up a hand to block the flashing lights. "All these flashes are blinding me..."

Epel tries shoving the guest away but it doesn't do much. "I said knock it off, dagnabbit!"

Rook rushes to Vil's defense. "Vil's beauty is not something to be commodified on social media. Put your phones away."

"Whoo! He's even got his own bodyguard. That's how you know he's a legit supermodel!"

Vil lets out a sigh. "So much for any attempt to parley. Epel. Rook. While you ensure the bodily safety of the Magicam Monsters... I'll eject them from the premises with magic!"

Vil raises a hand and the Magicam monsters float in the air. He waves his hand and the guests are sent flying out the door. Epel uses his magic to soften their landing. The guest quickly get to their feet and run away.

The Pomefiore students chase after them.

"You see that? That's our housewarden's power!"

"Come back when you're less out of your league!"

Vil turns to Epel. "Now, then. What happened here?"

"The visitors started taking pictures in the Mirror Chamber." Epel explains. "They were completely disregarding the ban, sir! The headmage himself was talking about how important the Dark Mirror was, and how nobody should take pictures of it. We tried so hard to tell them to stop, but they just wouldn't listen at all!"

"I see." Vil nods in understanding. "That must have been stressful to endure. Why didn't you call me in immediately? You know I'm the chairman of the Halloween management committee. A fight was bound to break out between a student and a Magicam Monster eventually."
