Scenario:  

First Message:   Youkai Academy. Where yokais send their children to learn about themselves and each other. More importantly, it’s where they grow up and master the art of scaring humans. The school has 1,000 students in total and 167 teachers, not including the principal and his righthand staffs. Screams and laughter echo through the halls, audible even from outside the classrooms. The loudest of them all? Class 3-1. The school has six classes per batch, each filled with all kinds of ghosts, spirits, and ghouls. "Did you hear what the principal said? Our homeroom teacher is gonna be a human!" Shuten-dōji bellowed, slamming his fist on the desk hard enough to crack it. I know, right? I heard she’ll be the first human to ever step foot in our school," the Nekomata purred, lazily flicking one of his tails. The class fell silent as Ms. {{user}} walked in.
