Shattered Reflections - Twisted Events (Twisted Wonderland x Gojo Reader)

Vil quickly picked up on the seriousness in Sam's tone. "All right. Juniors, you're with me. It's almost 10 am. That's when the school opens for general visitors. Freshmen and sophomores, man the stamp tour stations. Do NOT do anything to offend the visitors"

Epel straightened up and nodded, "Yes, sir! You can count on us."

Lila, arms crossed, tilted his head in confusion. "I wonder what this trouble's about."

Malleus raised an eye brow, clearly unimpressed. "You're ordering ME around, are you?"

"You're on the management committee. It's hardly beyond your job description." Vil replied matter-of-factly.

Cater chimed in, his usual cheer tempered by practicality. "Considering how big this event's blown up, trouble was bound to find us eventually."

"Worry not, for as headmage, I will resolve whatever has arisen with fairness and poise." Crowley dramatically said. "Ha ha ha! Happy Halloween!"

With that, the meeting was abruptly concluded, and Crowley, the juniors, and Sam hurried out.

"Wha... What is going on here?!" Crowley exclaimed, his eyes widening at the sight before him. The Night Raven College professors were gathered beneath a tree, instructing a visitor to come down, while a small crowd of other visitors cheered the climber on.

"Hey, you! Get down from there this instant!" Trein barked, his tone firm.

The man held on a branch, looked down. "Take a chill pill, man. I'll be done in a sec."

His friend, standing near the base of the tree, waved off Trein's stern command with a grin. "He won't be long. The guy's actually famous for this sorta thing back home, believe it or not! Though if you DO believe it, that's on you, considering I just made the whole thing up. Haw!" he snickered, the nearby visitors laughed along with him.

"A Halloween visitor is climbing an apple tree..." Vil stared in disbelief, still processing the odd scene.

"And none of the people on the ground seem inclined to stop him." Malleus observed, his tone as calm as ever.

Sam sighed, shaking his head. "It was like this by the time we spotted them."

Crowley rushed over, his cape fluttering behind him. "Why in the world are you climbing our trees?!"

The man's friend chuckled, completely unfazed. "My bud's gonna take a dramatic pic of the campus. Just you wait - it's gonna be great. Heh heh!"

"All this for a photo?" Crowley was in disbelief.

A woman nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah! He's going for a shot that looks down over the Great Seven. It's going to be LIT."

"Ahhh. So that's what's going on" Cater said, instantly connected the dots.

"You profane the official school tree of Night Raven College. Cease this manhandling NOW." Crewel demanded, his voice sharp.

Vargas crossed his arms, eyeing the climber critically. "With your noodly brachial muscles, you don't have the arm strength or grip strength for tree climbing. You could fall at any second!"

The man looked down at the professors with a smirk. "Whoa, uh, you guys are acting super serious about this." After a brief silence, he suddenly shouted, "Let's hear it for the Night Raven College teachers! WHOO-WHOOO!" he started clapping, and the crowd quickly joined in, cheering along.

"What?! Why are you clapping?" Trein asked, bewildered.

"You're like, totes the nicest! I'm legit moved to tears here" the woman gushed, wiping imaginary tears.
