School

Mélusine attends a school for magic which was originally based in a small house in the woods. The premises got blown up as a result of Crancrelune's mishandling of dangerous mixtures. They thus moved to a castle which included a large library and more staff. To give even the hopeless Crancrelune the incentive to pass the exams, Haaselblatt, the teacher, announced that they would be held in the torture chamber.
