Night Raven College

Night Raven College

Night Raven College (ナイトレイブンカレッジ, Naito Reibun Karejji) is a prestigious, all-boys academy and the main setting of Twisted Wonderland. It is a four-year magic educational institution located on the Isle of Sages. Dire Crowley is the school's headmaster.

Enrollment

Students are only allowed to enroll in this school if they have the potential for being a great magician, a factor which the Mirror of Darkness determines. A black carriage will be sent to pick up incoming students personally, which can even travel underwater. They are kept unconscious in coffins called "Gates" until arrival at the academy. In most cases, they can only be awoken if their Gate is unlocked with a special key, however there are exceptions.

All students are given a magical pen upon enrollment. Magical pens are fountain pens which double as wands by holding their magic stones which stores the user's blot. They can also be used to verify if a student is enrolled in the school. The color of one's gemstone is determined by which dorm they are assigned to.

Approximately two hundred freshmen enrolled into Night Raven College in the beginning of the Main Story (i.e. the cohort containing MC/Yuu, Grim, Ace, Deuce, Jack, Epel, and Sebek).

History

Each of the seven dormitories at Night Raven College are modeled after the Great Seven, a group of upstanding and powerful individuals of legend in Twisted Wonderland. Upon entering the school, students are sorted into these dorms based on the qualities of their souls. These dorms are:

• Heartslabyul, founded on the severity of the Queen of Hearts
• Savanaclaw, founded on the tenacity of the King of Beasts
• Octavinelle, founded on the compassion of the Sea Witch
• Scarabia, founded on the deliberation of the Sorcerer of the Sands
• Pomefiore, founded on the unrelenting efforts of the Fairest Queen
• Ignihyde, founded on the diligence of the Lord of the Underworld
• Diasomnia, founded on the elegance of the Fairy of Thorns

An abandoned dorm, Ramshackle, is now occupied by ghosts. MC/Yuu and Grim are the only living occupants.

Night Raven College also has a sports rivalry with Royal Sword Academy, another prestigious school for mages that other magically-gifted students (such as Chenya and Neige) attend. NRC has lost to RSA at the annual Inter-School Magift Tournament every year for 99 years.

Uniforms

So far, the students of Night Raven College are known to wear 6 uniforms for different occasions. There does not seem to be any consequences for students modifying or wearing their uniforms improperly, as many wear non-uniform shirts or forego different pieces of the uniform entirely.

• School Uniform: This uniform is worn in all classes except PE. It consists of a white button-up, a vest in the student's dorm color, a black blazer and dress pants, black gloves, a black and white striped tie, and an arm ribbon in dorm colors and the dorm's crest.
• Ceremonial Robes: The most formal out of all the uniforms. The ceremonial robes are worn to formal events held on campus, including the entrance ceremony at the beginning of the year. They consist of black pants and a collared black shirt with long sleeves that loop around the middle finger, a black hooded robe with golden embroidery and purple lining with crossed keys, and a purple belt with golden close. The ceremonial robes are the only uniform to not feature a breast pocket for magical pens, having a golden key-shaped chain holster worn around the waist instead.
• PE Uniform: The PE uniforms are black jumpsuits with dorm-colored accents on the shoulders, arms, and legs. The right breast pocket features the dorm emblem, and a label reading NRC with the student's class and seat number is positioned over the left pocket. The sleeves and pants can be shortened. Students also wear dorm-colored t-shirts with the dorm logo on the left breast and their dorm name on the left sleeve.
• Labwear: Students wear their lab gear over their school uniforms. It consists of a white lab coat with a left breast pocket with a dorm color stripe and the dorm logo on the left sleeve, black rubber gloves, and goggles in the dorm color. Students who wear glasses use goggles with prescription lenses.
• Apprentice Chef Uniform: First shown in NRC Master Chef ~Bliss of Meat~, this uniform is worn by students who opted for the Master Chef elective. It consists of a chef's hat with a headband that matches the dorm's colours and the corresponding dorm crest, a dorm-coloured coat that has the dorm logo on its left sleeve, a black bistro apron fastened with a ribbon matching the student's dorm, black trousers, and black rubber boots
• Dorm Uniform: Dorm uniforms are worn for formal dorm occasions. They are different for every dorm, and are made using magic threads for heat and cold resistance.
  • Dorm leaders are allowed to freely modify and alter the dorm uniform as they wish, including footwear.

Campus

In-game map of the campus

Night Raven College's campus is located at the north of Sage's Island on top of a mountain with the main building located on an elevated piece of land. The 7 main dorms are located in their own dimensions that each have different environments and are connected to the island through the Hall of Mirrors. Unlike the rest of the dorms, Ramshackle Dorm is located on Sage's Island instead of a separate dimension.

Campus Locations

• Main Building: The main building of campus, where most classes are held.
  • Mirror Chamber: The mirror chamber is inside the main building and is used for many different purposes: the Entrance Ceremony, dorm leader meetings, and other school assemblies.
• Coliseum: The Coliseum is used for Magical Shift matches, defensive magic exams, and duels for the dorm leader position. It has a barrier to prevent any damage from spreading to the rest of campus. It's also used for large events such as the Vocal & Dance Championship.
• Mr. S's Mystery Shop: The school store which is run by Sam, where students can buy anything they need.
• Gymnasium and Sports Field: For PE Classes and Sport Clubs.
• Stables: The stables hold horses for the Equestrian Club, which is responsible for cleaning the stables.
• Botanical Garden: The botanical garden is open to all students. to use for growing plants for both potionology classes and personal projects.

School Life

First-years' classes focus more on classroom-based learning rather than actually training their magic. Fourth-years are sent on long-term internships all over the world starting early on in the year; they don't return to campus until the cultural festival in February. Every year, there are always dropouts or students who have to repeat a year. However, there have been no such cases in Heartslabyul ever since Riddle became dorm leader..

Clubs

All Night Raven College students are required to join a club. There is a Student Club Fair held at the beginning of each school year.
