I'm not a cat!! I'll burn this collar right up and... E-eh? I can't use my fire!

Hmph! You won't be using any magic until I remove the collar. Just like an ordinary cat.

Don't worry, I'd never keep a pet like you. I'll take it off anyway when you get thrown out.

Wow, as wonderful as ever. Any and all magic gets sealed by your Unique Magic, Riddle. I simply must have it... Err, I mean I wouldn't ever want that cast on me.

You must do something about this! It is your familiar, after all! Properly discip... eh? It's not yours?

Choice 1: I've never seen it before.

Choice 2: How many times do I have to tell you?

Y-You did? (Ahem) Anyway, let's get it out of the school at any rate. We won't turn you into a stew. For I am gracious. Someone help, please.

We had a bit of trouble along the way, but this brings the entrance ceremony to a close. Dormitory Heads, please show the new students back to the dormitories. ... Hm? Now that I think about it, I don't see the leader for Diasomnia, Mr. Draconia, around at all...

Hmmm. But I don't really know anything about that guy.

By Draconia... Do they mean "that" Malleus Draconia?
|
Student B
|
So he really is attending this school.

Student C

Scary...

Oh, I knew it. I came here to check if my suspicion was right, and sure enough Malleus isn’t around. It seems the invitation "never arrived" again.

It's fine. Members of the Diasomnia Dormitory can come with me. ...I hope this doesn't upset him...

Then, Yuu, I'm terribly sorry about this but... We must have you leave the school. Those without any talent for magic cannot be allowed to attend class here. Not to worry. The Dark Mirror will send you directly back from whence you came. Enter the Gate, and picture your home clearly in your mind...

Choice 1: Phew...

Choice 2: This was a long dream...

This is the first time it's ever happened since I became Headmaster. What should be... Where exactly did you come from?

Truth is............

I've never heard that place. I have a general grasp of where all the students came from, but I've never even heard that name before. Let's go do some research in the library.
