Chapter Text
The inhabitants of Night Raven College were all supposed to be going to sleep after an eventful entrance ceremony.
But no.
Because God hates them.
The Housewardens, Vice Housewardens, plus a few others, the Magicless Prefect, and Crowley were all transported into a room.
Overall, it was a nice room. One TV set up an entire wall, a rocky cove of water seemed to make the merfolk audience a bit more comfortable, tons of plush couches all set up for them, and another wall stacked with snacks and food.
Behind them, above a doorway, were four numbers: 120, 648, 989, and 6,780,461.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•
It took them a minute to get over their initial shock, and for the TV to explain everything, but it gave them minutes to ponder.
The Second years and third years formed groups together. The freshmen, not knowing anyone, stayed near the couches.
Sebek Zigvolt sat on one. He seemed to be a bit queasy looking at the fourth number on that wall.
Ace Trappola sat next to him. Yuu (nameless), sat next to him.
Everyone else sat down, too
Then, a loading screen lit up the room.
•=•=•=•=•=•=••=•=•=•=•=•
Though everyone else at the entrance ceremony was stunned at the revelation of the being a Magicless being among them, Sebek Zigvolt was crying with a damn blank smile on his face.
•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•
Everyone paused.
Malleus lit up a bit. "Ah, the entrance ceremony? Wait. Why is Sebek crying?"
Sebek got a blank face with a blank smile , just like on screen.
•=•=•=•=•=•=•
Damn, this shit is more boring than the last 6 million times. His voice, apparently thoughts, echoes through the room. Just admit you're a time god already, motherfucker, and let me out of my damn misery, before I pull out the Glock in my pocket and fucking shoot myself.
•=•=•=•=•=•=•
Everyone's faces became shocked, except for a few.
Sebek closed his eyes, looking like he was accepting death.
Yuu's eyes went blank, his eyebrow raising. "Oh."
Ace got the same look as Sebek.
People stared at Yuu. Then-
"Wait, did he say he has a gun in his pocket-?!" Idia Shroud shrieked, then went red and hid as people stared at him.
Malleus looked at Sebek with concern.
Sebek would not open his eyes.

Sebek just calmly waited. Five minutes later, the entrance ceremony was on fire and Sebek was just chilling.
Then, a familiar presence appeared behind him.
"Yo. Ya got that Glock in your pocket, yeah?"
Sebek turned. Floyd was staring at him.
"You cannot kill yourself again. The past four entrance ceremonies ended with either you starting the fire or killing yourself in some way."

Jade and Azul went dead silent, staring at the screen like it was telling them something they did not want to hear.
Floyd's face then mirrored Sebek's.
They were so cooked.
