Everyone's aged up, the first years to 18 second years are 19 and the third years are like 20, except Leona he's still going to be held back for 2 years. Look it's called Night raven College for a reason anyway and I personally feel more comfortable with this.

Also college shenanigans are funny

Kitsune! Yuu is like an onion.

many layers

One could imagine Kitsune! Yuus proper form is like the fox devil from chainsaw man. They aren't a 'majestic fox spirit' more eldritch than majestic at best tbh.

I prefer them androgynous and pretty

anyways yeah I'm alive

They got-

They got a bit silly

=======================

Although thoroughly amused, Yuu couldn't help but be quite disappointed.

In this world, how people got rid of ghosts and spirits, was entirely different from their original world. Much less extravagant than the exorcisms they were used to conducting and doing, a pity, it seems there was no such thing as 'cultivation' in this world.

Watching as Grim got rid of the last ghost Yuu gave a slow clap "Great work!" Grim flashed them a grin "This is nothing for the Great Grim! How 'bout that? ghosts? You done?" Grim said with a prideful tone, Yuus eyes trailed off to the side as they heard the sound of footsteps, their head turned to look behind them.

"Good evening. I have graciously brought you supper-"

Ah, so it's just the crow.

"You're the monster that ran amuck during the entrance ceremony! I threw you out of the school, what are you doing here!?"

Grim grinned, puffing out his chest as he crossed his arms "HmmpH! I exterminated the ghost problem! Be grateful!"

Yuu watched, thoughts whirling about.

They took a step back letting, their expression morph into a more pitiful one, their eyebrows furrowing a bit to show a look of light annoyance as they crossed their arms. A performance of the lifetime, is it not? But what is life but a masquerade?

A kitsune's voice echoed through their mind, an ancient one most likely, only powerful kitsune could contact the vessel without the need for rituals.

As a nine-tailed fox grows, its power grows alongside its wisdom.

Many have forgotten their names, but names need not matter to them.

Names were for those who didn't know who they are.

As a kitsune grows older, they slowly outgrow its name.

This was something one of the ancient kitsunes told them when they were younger, quite dramatically as well. Yuu rolled their eyes in the darkness of the shadow, the ancestors were always the most dramatic.

Before taking a step out, they held held their hands together clasping them close to their chest, holding a look of meekness.

"Ah..Mr. Crowley, what happened was that..."

-------------------------------------------------------------

Yuu looked towards the wooden ground, a bit uncomfortable with their smaller form.

The unfamiliar clothes were big and cloaked, most likely cause of the shapeshifting they had done. To look meeker and weaker, to fit with the surroundings they let their body morph to fit more of the many male students that were at the ceremony.

Not that it matters, Yuu was Yuu, no matter what form they were in, and no matter how many souls they were a vessel for.

The Headmaster decided to see them and Grim's skill with taking ghosts out with his own eyes, to be completely truthful to themselves Yuu couldn't but feel bored during the whole ideal. Staying in the dormitory was fine, not like they were going to stay in it.

After all pocket dimensions come in handy, and they did plant some tomatoes in the shrine. And offerings are abundant, no matter what they're actually for.

"Seeing as you have nothing to your name...Fufu, here is my proposition."

Yuu couldn't help but let a passive-aggressive smile form, "What exactly are you going to make me do?" They questioned with a tone laced with a hidden annoyance "No need to fret, I'll have you do maintenance and off jobs around campus. From what I can see, you're pretty decent at cleaning. Would you two like to become the 'handyman' of this school?"

It would be dishonorable to compare the Tengu to the likes of you. Not that I can say much, it is a good making of the situation, after all, what choice do I even have?

"This way you will receive special permission to remain on school grounds. You'll also be able to research going home or study whatever you desire in the library. For I am gracious!"

"However! Only after your work is done."

As Grim was about to open his mouth to protest Yuu butted in "Sounds wonderful, this one and Grim will now be leaving Mr.Crowley, see you tomorrow goodbye!"

"But-"

Yuu grabbed Grim by his collar, their eyes turning predator for a split second in the shadows of the house.

"The beast tamer needs to talk with its beast."
