[name] watched as the wizards gathered in the assembly hall, with her being on the platform together with the other top tier wizards as well. Oyakata-sama had requested for a get together as he wanted to inform and implement a new way of working about ones' magic abilities. As not all types of spells work for all wizards.

He will allow the magic mirror that he had brought in, to help sort the wizards into houses now.

Many were looking at [name] and pointed out that she looks different. That her hair had grown out much longer, and her eyes were different as well as it had the marks in them. [name] then tried her best to pay no attention to them at all.

She then felt Mitsuri and Shinobu holding her hands in their hands, as a way to comfort her. She smiled a little and soon Oyakata-sama arrived with the rest of the teachers. He then motioned for [name] and the rest to take a seat, and soon they did.

[name] sat right behind Oyakata-sama, and she looked straight ahead. The magic mirror was then brought upon them by Himejima and Shinjuro.

"As we all know that the darkness within the realm is getting far worst, and many of you have yet to master any spells that are catered to yourself," he spoke out in his kind and gentle voice. He soon started to call out the names of the students, and eventually, everybody was sorted into their houses.

Rengoku Kyojuro was the head of the Flame House, where he will be guiding his fellow peers when they have trouble with their spells. As they were trying to master the Spells of Flames.

Shinazugawa Sanemi was the head of the Wind House, where he will be guiding(torturing) his fellow peers as they were mastering terribly the Spells of Winds.

Uzui Tengen was the head of the Sound House, and he had on a flamboyant smile as always as he started to be affectionate with his peers, yet not so willing to guide them in mastering the Spells of Sounds.

Tomioka Giyuu was the head of the Water House, and he had on his usual emotionless face as he looked at how excited most of his peers are to be having him to guide, in order to master the Spells of Water. Urokodaki Sakonji, Giyuu's former master and caretaker could only have a soft smile behind his mask as he looked at how Giyuu had always been.

Iguro Obanai was the head of the Serpent House, and he had narrowed his eyes at those who looked at [name] the entire time. He wasn't fond of the idea of teaching these people the way he mastered his spells, but since it was Oyakata-sama's request, he had no choice.

Tokito Muichiro was the head of the Mist House, despite being such a young boy. He had on an extremely blank look as he looked up at the ceiling, only to have [name] patting him on the hand. He then turned and smiled at [name], realizing that his peers were before him.

Kocho Shinobu was the head of the Insect House, where she will help nurture those who are learning the Spells of Flowers as well as Spells of Insects. She had on a smile as always, and [name] had always wondered what's up with her sarcastic smile whenever Giyuu had done something that wasn't on purpose.

Kanroji Mitsuri was the head of the Love House, where she will help nurture those who are learning the Spells of Love. She will be aiding Kyojuro as well from time to time, and [name] soon noticed the ones who got sorted into Mitsuri's house was staring at her with their nose bleeding slightly.

A little disgusted by the scene, [name] then shut her eyes.

Then there's [name] who had nobody in her house. The magic mirror did sort out everybody, and some she even spoke about placing them into the Shadow House, only to reject for their bodies were weak.

[name] then smiled sadly and Oyakata-sama had been watching her. He had on a soft smile as it felt like a repeated event for him. 

"HAR?! I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY?!" he whined out and Oyakata-sama could only chuckle at the hot-tempered man before him. He then had on a pout as he continued to sulk in his seat only to have Oyakata-sama patting him on the head.
