"Hee-haaa.... How 'bout that!" Grim wheezed. Alice patted Grim's head to comfort him as Crowley transformed back into his normal self. He stared at the four girls and Grim in pure astonishment. Even though he couldn't believe it, he couldn't deny that they had such extraordinary skill!

"I can't believe... there are people who can command monsters." he said as he looked at the four girls with great curiosity. There had to be a reason those girls were brought here... Could this possibly be it?

"Hmmm... To be honest with you, my intuition as an educator has been telling me that you young ladies," he paused as he pointed a finger at the four girls, "have talent as trainers or beast tamers since the uproar during the entrance ceremony." The four girls all gawked at him.

"Huh?! We are what now?!" Kira asked, gaping at Crowley. "Beast tamers?" Jazmin asked in bewilderment. "B-But, we just—" Alice tried to say, but Crowley began mumbling to himself as the wheels in his head began turning.

"But...no matter how..." he said as he started to mutter silently. None of the girls could hear a word he was saying as he was now speaking way too fast for anyone to understand. They all looked down at Grim, who was now too tired to care that he was in Aria's arms.

Then Alice thought of a way to help him out. His sole desire was to be a student at this school and the way he looked when the Ebony Carriage never came for him... She then turned her attention back towards Crowley.

Crowley asked in astonishment.

"Alice-chan! Have you lost your mind?!" Kira snapped. "Let that lazy, good-for-nothing cat stay here?!" She wasn't too pleased about the idea of sharing the dorm with Grim. Grim glared at Kira indignantly, insulted by being called a "cat".

"In case you've forgotten, he nearly roasted us crispy back at the entrance ceremony!" Kira added. Alice turned to face her. "Yes, but to be fair, he did save us from those ghosts." she said. "Well, we made him do it with the promise of food!" Kira stated. That was true, but even so... Alice turned back to face the Headmaster.

"Please, Headmaster? There's no telling when those terrifying ghosts might return. Grim can help protect us from them." she said. Since Grim helped the girls defeat the ghosts, Alice had decided to take responsibility and do whatever she could to help Grim be a student at Night Raven. Alice then turned towards her friends.

"I say we help Grim become a student here. Are you with me on this, girls?" she asked. Aria and Jazmin looked at each other hesitantly, not knowing what to make of this. But they knew better than to deny that poor cat creature a chance to be a great magician. They turned back to face Alice.
