Welcome to the "freshman sacrifice" at the Wolsey Academy. The narrator welcomes the students to Wolsey's "airship" and compares it to a "national ceremony" . He tells the students that he is here to "change everything" , but he does not like the "lively atmosphere" of the academy or the "Freshman sacrifice" either. Wolsey asks the students if they are teachers, and the students respond that they are, but that they do not know how to introduce themselves to one another. He asks if she is happy to have a master, and she responds that she is just a middle-school girl. She tells him that she does not understand how she came to be at the academy, and that she will be considered a "weirdo at most !" . She says that she feels like she is walking with someone else, and he says that it is a sign that something is wrong with her. She asks if anyone has teamed up to clear the dungeon, and everyone says that they have.
