Ah. The Housewarden's Meeting. It was your first one too, so you were really not sure how it would go. Were you supposed to act extremely professional? How does a Housewarden act? Others are surely going to judge you.

Based on Riddle, he strikes fear and respect from his students, but you're not scary at all! And plus, you have like... zero students to command respect and fear from other than Grim.

Needless to say, you were nervous! So you just decided to remain quiet, if you had something really good to say, you would say it and hope for the best that it doesn't sound weird outside of your head.

However, stepping into the room, you saw Riddle. This made you lit up in seeing someone you recognize. Upon seeing you, Riddle also seemed surprised as well before giving you a polite smile.

You made your way over to him, and with a smile, you said, "Riddle! It's so nice to see you, how are you doing since the..." You whispered in his ear to not draw attention, "The incident..?"

Riddle softly chuckled, "No need for whispering it, word spreads around quickly. I'm sure everyone in this room is well aware of what happened to me. But, I'm doing good. You?"

You made an "Oh" face, before sheepishly saying, "Ohh, okay, my bad.. I'm doing good though—"

"Everyone take your seats."

Crowley announced to the whole room, causing everyone to cease what they were doing and make their way to their own seats.

"[name], come sit next to me." Riddle softly said to you, you nodded. You were more than glad to sit next to him than someone you barely knew. Even if you weren't planning to say anything to them, it would still be nerve racking.

You noticed the many glances thrown at you by others, Riddle was currently focused on retrieving his notes and pen. While he was doing so, you couldn't help but notice the many looks of, "Who the hell is this?"

You felt your face grow warm from embarrassment, so you merely decided to look over at Crowley with a sense of urgency to begin the meeting.

Crowley placed some notes on the table, upon inspecting them, he coughed to clear his throat and began, "Now then. I would like to welcome everyone and begin this meeting by discussing the Magical Shift Tournament that will take place in October.

To start things off, Housewarden Ashengrotto of Octavinelle will announce the President of the Magical Shift Management Committee."

The so called Azul rose from his seat, making sure he made contact with everyone, including you in the process.

"It's a pleasure to be with you all today, I would like to begin by discussing the pop-up stalls that will be positioned around the Colosseum. These slots have all been filled. Since this time will be more busier than ever for students selling their products, profit is expected to increase by 30%."

A cheery voice piped up in excitement, "Sounds like it's gonna be bustling! I can't wait!" None other than Kalim was the one making that remark, others seemed to look at him in judgement at his cheerful appearance.

Azul carried on, "All invitations for each of the nation's royal family have also been sent. The sales for ordinary tickets are also proceeding smoothly, so our predictions seem to be right on the target.

As we've seen from last year, we will also have television crews placed all around the stadium as well."

Kalim, once again, spoke up, "Man, I suppose it's because the whole world will be watching, huh? Before I was a student, I used to always look forward to getting my invitation to see the games! Hey, speaking of—!"
