The very next day…

Location: Classroom

Crewel: One, two, three… Good. Everyone’s here. Now to begin homeroom.

I have an important announcement.

I’m sure you’re already well aware, but as of today, there’s only one month until Halloween.

Classmate A: It’s finally here. I’ve been looking forward to this day for forever!

Classmate B: Getting to spend Halloween at Night Raven College has always been my dream!

Grim: Everyone got all fired up the second they heard the word “Halloween”!

It’s just like Lilia and the ghosts said yesterday: it’s a real special occasion.

Ace: Hey, hey.

I caught a glimpse of Ramshackle Dorm this morning, and, uh, are you sure you’re all right over there?

Deuce: Draconia-senpai and Vanrouge-senpai seemed like they were having a good time.

> It’s looking pretty Halloweeny, right?

Ace: Now that’s what I’m talking about, that excitement! As long as you’re feeling it, it’s cool.

> Yeah, you could say that…

Deuce: It's awesome that they put up such hardcore decorations for you!

Ace: You’ve gotta go all out when it comes to Halloween.

Deuce: About that… —Yuu. Did you buy any pumpkins to decorate Ramshackle Dorm with yet?

There’s already a huge line forming at the Mystery Shop. You’d better go quick, before all the nicely shaped ones are gone.

Ace: Yeah. And the more you carve, the faster you can kick up the Halloween vibes.

Grim: You guys seem like you’re havin’ fun. Has the holiday got you all excited too?

Ace: Well, yeah. I mean, do people who don’t get hyped for Halloween even exist?

Even the Ignihyde shut-ins are outside acting up right now.

Dour Deuce-kunhere’s in the same boat too, am I riiight?

Deuce: I-It’s the one day where you’re allowed to go a little nuts, and well, wear some really awesome costumes, so…

Anyway, I don’t think there’s a single person in Twisted Wonderland who hates Halloween, adults and children alike.

Chatter chatter…

Crewel: Sigh... They get so unbearably fidgety this time of year.

CRACK!

Crewel: Stay! Be quiet!

Your first holiday at Night Raven College is no excuse for acting up. We wouldn’t want anyone doubting my disciplinary methods, now, would we?

Now pay attention. Halloween just so happens to be a very major event for Night Raven College.

The week right before it, commonly called “Halloween Week”...

—is when a majority of you will be organizing “stamp rally courses” for off-campus visitors.

Each dorm will select one of the main campus facilities and decorate it with Halloween decorations for the rally.

It’s important for this event to be accessible to everyone.

We will have guests walking all over campus during Halloween Week.

Do you know why we go through the trouble of opening our gates to hold such a time-consuming event?

Grim: Me, pick me! I know! It’s so we can make billions through chargin’ an entry fee!

Crewel: Wrong! Taking money from guests? Preposterous! Tours are free of charge.

Listen well, mongrels. Night Raven College is a long-standing, historied institution...

And we owe it all to the understanding and cooperation of the locals living on this “Isle of Sages” as they encourage your development and keep watch over you with their kind eyes.

Halloween week is an important opportunity to show them the results of your schooling.

So be vigilant and don’t let them catch you off-guard!

Grim: A stamp rally, huh. So that’s why Lilia was decorating our dorm.

It was pretty awesome, like somethin’ straight out of a festival!

Ace: I don’t get why you’re so surprised. Didn’t the Halloween Management Committee tell you anything?

Grim: Huh? Management Committee?

Crewel: A group made up of students from each dorm in order to ensure Halloween goes smoothly.

The Headmaster should’ve informed you about this.

Grim: He didn’t tell me nothin’.

Crewel: What?!

… Yuu. Don’t tell me you didn’t hear anything from him either.

> Not a thing.

Crewel: … I see. Perhaps he forgot to mention something to you Ramshackle Dorm residents.

> This is news to me.

Ace: How irresponsible can one guy get?!

Deuce: Ah, but it’s okay!

If there’s anything you don’t get about Halloween Week you can just ask me.

Because… I’m on the Halloween Management Committee this year!

Ace: Oh, quit your bragging. You only made it by lottery.

Deuce: Shut up, Ace. Even if I just got lucky, Rosehearts-senpai told me to “do my best”...

Night Raven College’s traditional Halloween event... I’ll make it a success for sure!

Crewel: How nice of you to be so motivated. Don’t let committee duties get in the way of your studies.

Deuce: Y-Yes.. Of course!

Crewel: Anyhow, don’t get too excited, you mutts.

Bad boys who don’t heed what I say won’t be joining the party on the 31st.

Grim: Hello? Did you just say party?!

Crewel: It’s been decided that we’ll hold a party on the night of Halloween.

It’ll be a massive event where students and ghosts alike can attend alongside the main guests of honor, our visitors from off-campus.

Grim: D-D-Does that mean…

—there’s gonna be yummy food, or a tonna food, or even, like, a really awesome feast!?

Deuce: They’re going to order catering from a famous chef so the ghosts in the cafeteria can enjoy themselves too.

Ace: They're gonna have more food than you can stuff in your face.

My brother showed me photos of the party once and it all looked super good.

Seems like this is basically our version of prom, which is why it’s so fancy.

Grim: Whoa… a fancy party! I can’t wait for Halloween!

Crewel: I’m sure you’ll be incredibly busy in the coming month as you prepare both your costumes and your decorations…

So get together and make this the best Halloween yet!

Ace & Deuce & Grim: Yes, sir!
