As the winter months settle in, the wall between humans and spirits  begins to break down into a thin veil. Majestic spirits begin to dance  across the shimmering night sky. Stories and rumors of daunting and powerful beast begin spread throughout the land.  The children help their  parents collect fire wood and prep warm meals while their eyes fill with delight and their voices sing jolly songs. Every corner of the Maze  is filled with giggling kids and joyful adults as everyone realizes the time of year. It is Spirit Oasis. A time for the dead and distant to once again rejoin the living. A time for families and friends to come  together and enjoy a feast. A time for companies and con artists to empty your pockets with festive promises.  A time for a good drink and a great story. A time for fears to bare their ugly head once again. A time for the past to come clawing after you one more time. A truly festive time.

They didn't think it was possible, but somehow it's gotten worse. The  team's mana is nearly depleted, half of the class can barely stand, and  Taps has decided to turn into a raging giant. it's a perfect storm of  chaos that only gets worse when a clash of lightning brings forth  another terrifying spirit.  Forget passing the exam, it would be a  miracle if any of the party makes it out of this room alive.

Heavy rain beats down against the castle walls of the school. Only harsh  streaks of lightning temporarily illuminate the void darkness around  the area. The students are asleep or the closest thing they can get to  it. The horrific day awaiting them keeps many restless, and the constant  clashes of thunder make it impossible to truly slumber. Finally, a  mighty crash stirs everyone awake. A powerful force that rattles the  ground and pushes away any remaining hopes that today will be okay.  After the crash comes a chilling silence followed by a single spark of  electricity. This truly may be our students' final chapter.

After bringing Porter back to his senses, Toto has dreams or maybe even  visions that leave him with shaken nerves and a spinning head desperate  for answers. Meanwhile, Quinn looks to a dying out team silver for any  possible glimmers of hope. Maybe he's seeking to make team wood  stronger, or perhaps guilt is starting to build up as he watches the  rule he put in place eat team silver alive.

They finally got past execution week but it is far from break time for the team.

So  after pushing solemn emotions for those who didn't make it aside, the party moves forward to figure out all they can about the school and it's students so they can prepare for any danger that might come their way. Who would have guessed the first danger would come from their own friend?

As the end of Execution Week draws closer, the morale of the study body drops. Everyone is coming to terms with their skill level, and many are seeing that the Academy might just be too much to them.

They've gotten a chance to test the waters at this school, but now it's  time to jump off the deep end. Not a even a full week in, and the party  is already being threaten with expulsion. Oh, also they have to deal the  tiny problem of a man-eating Storm Chaser crashing on top of their  heads. Pile that in with the stress of establishing punishments for  students, and you have one hell of a week for the crew. Hopefully they  can live. Hey, They may even be able to finish their homework on time too.

After that life threatening and confusing introduction, the students  must explore their new school in search of the right classes to take.  Well less of the right classes and more of classes with the least chance  of expulsion or fatality.
