State thy name. | |

Riddle  |
*sigh* Our entrance ceremony is meant to be a serious affair and yet the new students just can't seem to remain quiet.
I can only hope the ones sorted into Heartslabyul are of the diligent kind. | |
Crowley  |
Next, Mr. Ace Trappola. Please approach the Dark Mirror. | |
Ace  |
Oh, is it already my turn? Neat. | |
Riddle |
...I feel sorry for whatever dorm leader has to deal with a student like that who can't even give a proper mannerly response. | |
Dark Mirror |
The shape of thy soul is...
Heartslabyul! | |
Riddle |
Wh—?! | |
Ace |
Surprise surprise. My bro was in Heartslabyul while he was here, so it makes sense. | |
Riddle |
You! Return to your seat immediately after your sorting is complete.
So long as you are a Heartslabyul student, rule-breaking will not be permitted, no matter the occasion. For goodness' sake...I can't believe I'll have to teach basic manners before even thinking of the Laws of the Queen of Hearts. How will I handle the year if all the first years are as rambunctious as him? | |
New Students New Students  |
*whisper whisper* *giggle* | |
Riddle |
They dare to whisper amongst themselves again? | |
Sebek  |
We're in the middle of the careful dorm sorting of the school! Cease your tongue-flapping! | |
Riddle |
Oh! That new student over there... | |
Sebek |
Your selfish conduct is creating a bad impression of all the new students here, including myself!
You should be observing the ceremony with a dignified manner. We may lack experience, but we are all mages here. We must always watch our conduct and remain polite! | |
Riddle |
...Everyone went silent. It seems there are some promising new students in the bunch, after all.
He should be being sorted into his dorm soon. If he gets sorted into Heartslabyul, I may be able to put him in charge of all the first years. ...No, I should stop with the hypotheticals for now. | |
Crowley |
Mr. Sebek Zigvolt. Please approach the Dark Mirror. | |
Sebek |
Yes, sir! | |
Riddle |
Now, just what dorm will he end up in? | |
Dark Mirror |
The shape of thy soul is...
Diasomnia! | |
Sebek |
Diasomnia...! | |
Riddle |
So he is in a different dorm, after all? That's a shame. | |
Sebek |
I-I-I-I did it! I got into the same dorm as the young master! | |
Riddle |
?! | |
Sebek |
*gasp!* A-Ahem! ...Thank you very much. | |
Riddle |
Wh-What was that outburst just now? Maybe it was just my imagination... | |

Silver  |
They just had their opening ceremony the other evening and now they're already looking to be recruited for clubs... First years are a busy bunch, aren't they? | |
Riddle |
Is it that strange? Club activities and electives are all part of one's weekly routine. It is best those decisions are made as swiftly as possible.
You haven't slacked on the preparations, I trust, Silver? We second years have been entrusted with the guidance of the first years by the older students. We cannot fail them. | |
Silver |
Don't worry, everything's ready. It doesn't look like any new students have come to observe here yet, though... | |
Riddle |
Everyone is likely starting with the more well-known clubs like the Magift Club. | |
Silver |
We've gone to the trouble of wearing our ceremonial robes for this. It'll be a waste if no one comes. | |
Riddle |
It won't do us any good to get impatient.
All it is is that students very rarely come to a club such as the Equestrian Club right away, I'm sure of it. | |
Sebek  |
Excuse me, am I right that this is where I can find the Equestrian Club? | |
Riddle |
Oh! We have a student here much earlier than I expected we would.
...Hold on. Weren't you the one at the entrance ceremony that...? | |

Riddle |
You were...Sebek Zigvolt, correct? You're the first to come see our club showcase. | |
Sebek |
Hm... Why do you know my name? | |
Riddle |
...Excuse me? | |
Sebek |
You are the dorm leader of Heartslabyul, aren't you? And yet you know the name of a student from a completely different dorm...
Don't tell me! Are you a spy that's been snooping around in the affairs of our great Diasomnia?! | |
Silver |
Sebek... | |
Riddle |
...I see.
When I saw you at the entrance ceremony, I had thought you a first year with a backbone, but it appears I was mistaken. Similar to the other Diasomnia students, you have clearly learned how to be arrogant before you learned how to be polite. | |
Silver |
Riddle, this has nothing to do with Diasomnia's education. Sebek's a little special. | |
Riddle |
Is that so? You had a similar air of being a bit of a scatterbrain back when you first entered the school, as well. | |
Silver |
I wasn't as bad as him, surely. ...Hey, Sebek. I'm going to warn you as a fellow countryman.
Sort your behavior immediately. Your actions reflect on the whole of Diasomnia. At this rate, you'll bring the impression for the whole dorm down. | |
Sebek |
I have no reason to receive lectures from you, Silver! I have done nothing out of sorts. | |
Silver |
Are you serious? | |
Sebek |
What? If you have complaints, come up and say them! | |
Riddle |
Ahem! | |
Silver & Sebek  |
?! | |
Riddle |
Sorry to interrupt your little comedy act, but may I begin with the showcase of the Equestrian Club?
I'll admit I was a little taken aback by such arrogance from a first year, but... Well, I'm at least aware that each dorm's affairs and common sense can differ from the others. Regardless, the Equestrian Club has its own way of doing things. If have any intention of joining us, then you have to abide by our rules. | |
Sebek |
Hmph... Well, I can accept that. | |
Riddle |
In that case... First year, to attention! | |
Sebek |
! | |
Riddle |
I will now begin the explanation. What I am about to tell you is all quite basic, but it is important, so listen close.
What is most different about the Equestrian Club compared to other clubs at this school is that it involves interacting with animals. It is a dangerous sport in which one small mistake can result in a major accident. The horses themselves are also at risk. Their legs are surprisingly frail, you see. We must take great care of horses as if they were the flamingos or hedgehogs used for croquet. In order to ensure our activities can continue smoothly, we must absolutely abide by the teachings of the older students. Do you understand? | |
Sebek |
I understand. So long as they are not unreasonable, I swear to follow them. | |
Riddle |
Oh my... You became obedient quick. You at least seem to be serious when it comes to horsemanship. | |
Sebek |
Of course I am. Mastery of the equestrian is essential as a vassal of the young master. It is my first choice in terms of club activities.
However, I wish to see the skills of the club members before I come to my decision. It would be of much more use to the young master for me to spend the days training my muscles rather than wasting them away on a club without the requisite skills. | |
Riddle |
I see. What you say is indeed correct, as questionable as the choice of words may be.
Then bear witness to the skill of our Equestrian Club and see for yourself whether or not we suffice. Silver... I apologize for having you remain on standby, but would you mind if I go on a ride first? | |
Silver |
Of course, I don't mind. | |
Riddle |
Alright, then let us be off.
The position of the saddle looks okay... Sorry for keeping you waiting, Vorpal. I'll bring you out for a good run now. | |
Vorpal Vorpal |
Neigh! | |
Riddle |
Hyah! | |
| ||
Sebek |
He's so fast! He cleared the triple bar oxer with ease! His riding position is so balanced, as well. | |
Silver |
Riddle Rosehearts. His perfect technique has been honed with diligent training.
When it comes to more subtle movements of the reins, he is far more skilled than me. Many of my skills have been honed by competing with him. | |
Riddle |
Alright... Stop. You're in good condition today, Vorpal. | |
Riddle |
Now then, first year. How would you grade my performance? | |
Sebek |
Allow me to submit my registration form right away! | |
Riddle |
Th-That was fast! | |
Silver |
You came prepared? Students usually go around and look at many of the other clubs first before then submitting the next day. | |
Sebek |
What are you saying?! What would I do if I handed in my form late and the club was already full?! | |
Riddle |
You're...actually really quite the earnest type, aren't you?
Well, that's no bother. If you are absolutely determined to join this club, I'll hand your form to the club advisor. | |
Sebek |
Please, um...Riddle, sir. | |
Riddle |
Welcome to the Equestrian Club, Sebek. I look forward to seeing what you achieve here. | |
