Short translation from the Twst novel: Culture Shock

Some NRC information and emphasis on how foreign everything is to the protagonist through comparisons of how very different school systems overseas (and in other dimensions?) are when compared to those in Japan.

"The ghosts say there are more than 800 students at Night Raven College.

That’s about the same number that attend Yuuya’s own high school--or maybe slightly more."

"Given its prestigiousness Yuuya had assumed that there would be fewer people enrolled, but he also heard that this is a four-year school.

Compared with Yuuya’s high school, that’s an additional year of schooling."

"‘It’s normal for a mage training school.’

Yuuya has heard of high schools that last for four years even back in his own world, in countries overseas.

He decides that that must be the case here as well and nods to himself, a little out of breath from the long staircase."

"‘Well, the fourth-year students mostly undergo practical training, so they are almost never here.

It includes overnight stays in locations all over the world, so they move out of their dorm rooms, too.’"

"‘September is a season of new encounters and farewells. Each year it is a little lonely~’

‘Hm? Dorm rooms?’ Grim, who has been dragging his bucket along the ground as they walk, stops short. ’The others all got places to stay?’"

"‘Oh yes—each dorm has a unique, customized building.’

‘Whaat!? So I don’t even have to live in that run-down old building, then. I don’t like Ramshackle Dorm!’

Grim is yelling, now, and the ghosts all cheer together, ‘Ramshackle Dorm!’"

"‘That there is a good name. It’s got style.’

‘Yes, yes—a name that is well-suited to our historic dwelling. With a name like that, it is but the greatest place to live.’

‘Free to rent, available immediately, includes garden and ghosts!’”

※Jamil does say in the Halloween event that Malleus and Lilia kidnapped 600 students, but those were only the students on campus at the time, insinuating that there are about 200 students in each year and the fourth years were not included in that number.
