Nazarick Academy

Nazarick Academy (ナザリック学園) is the name of the form that the Great Tomb of Nazarick took when it was altered by the power beyond the Crack in Mass for the Dead.

Background
In the past Nazarick Academy was a idea that was envisioned by Peroroncino, who was obsessed with the theme “campus love comedy” and pestered Suratan to help create it with him.

Once the academy was created its data was stored away and lost.

Mass for the Dead Arc
The Great Tomb of Nazarick for reasons unknown was transformed into a school ground by a brilliant light that emanated from the Crack in the ruined Throne Room. All the Non-Playable Characters within the dungeon were brought under a mental spell, causing them to act and think that they were characters in a academy. Only Momonga remained unaffected by the incident.

After realizing the bizarre situation in an encounter with Yuri Alpha and Albedo, Momonga immediately called an emergency summons for Narberal Gamma and CZ2128 Delta to return back to Nazarick.

The undercover maids returning to the surface of the dungeon, found a school campus in its place. Though confused on the situation, Momonga appeared to explain the incident, believing it to be similar to the New Year event. To show them how severe the mental effect had on its inhabitants, Yuri Alpha appeared and scolded both Narberal and CZ for their attire, completely oblivious to prior knowledge of Nazarick's undercover operations, and referred them as students who were missing their first period of class. To avoid further complications, Momonga claimed that the two were not following the dress code of the academy at his request as he wanted the two to try out some new uniforms he was thinking to have the student body wear. The answer satisficed Professor Alpha who then allowed Momonga to handle the two Pleiades. The situation now becoming more confusing, Momonga noticed the name of the institution on the gates of the dungeon turned school: Nazarick Academy.

Momonga took both maids to the Treasury, along the way he provided as much as he can about school life in order for them to assimilate the knowledge and hopefully be able to interact with the denizens of the academy. There in the inner sanctum, the trio met with Pandora's Actor who under the influence of the incident, believed that he was a mathematics professor and also the warden for the storehouse of the academy. From the professor, Momonga acquired a pair of school uniforms to give to Narberal and CZ. Afterwards he explained that they would split up, he as his role as principal would investigate and gather a much information from the staff, while the two maids would mingle with the students in the class and do the same.

Narberal and CZ dressing in their new uniforms entered their assigned class, where they found members of the remaining Pleiades, Aura Bella Fiora, Mare Bello Fiore, the protagonist and Slimeko to be their classmates. They drew a lot of attention due to the uniforms which were commented and praised, but the two managed to play their roles as students to the best of their abilities. Narberal as it turned out found that she was regarded as the Head of the Disciplinary Committee, while Aura was the Head of the Breeding Committee. Their second period class was instructed by Professor Demiurge who taught a biology course as well as an art course using living creatures. At this point it was confirmed that while the incident changed Nazarick and the minds of the inhabitants, overall they still retained their original personalities. And plus the new setting seemed to not regard magic as a disruptive power. After his class was over, a break session was held that allowed Narberal and CZ to chat with each other to compare their findings. Their interaction was noted by the rest of the class, but the pair managed to ease suspicion stating they were doing work for the principal.

The next class they found that Cocytus was a physics professor, who taught them Newtonian mechanics. Though the concept was alien to Narberal, she managed to grasp it due to Cocytus's examples throughout combat and motion. Afterwards the students left the room to head to the home economics class.

On Momonga's end he was in the Round Table Room which was converted as the staff room. He managed to acquire documents from Albedo pertaining to the blueprints of the school as well as the attendance roll of students. From it he believed he found a clue that could be the link that may be the center of the incident.

The fourth period class turned out to take place in the Canteen and the teacher there turned out to be Neuronist Painkill who decided to lead her class in a recipe. As part of the recipe process, the professor brought out several live animals for her students to battle and dress.

By lunch time, Narberal and CZ reported to the principal's office to deliver their findings. While the experience was odd, the pair expressed that school life was interesting. Momonga was happy to see they enjoyed themselves, but presented them his clue that he found. Upon reviewing the attendance record he found that there was an anomaly. In that while all the students and teachers names were recorded, one name was absent: Shalltear Bloodfallen. Momonga recalled the vampire was stationed near the Crack before the incident occurred, leading him to believe that she may be at the center of the phenomena.

Momonga ordered the duo to keep their eyes open for Shalltear as well as be on the look out for an unknown entity. Before dismissing them to return to the Canteen/Cafeteria, the principal informed them that he would be paying their class room a visit for an inspection.

Unknown to the investigators, an unknown character approached the academy, eager to enter and meet the impeccable principal.

Layout & Features
The outside exterior of Nazarick had shifted from a mausoleum to gated school campus. Though the interior of the dungeon effectively remains the same with a some new areas like classrooms. Interestingly though the rooms are located on the 9th Floor, it is possible to view the outside world via the windows. Oddly the blueprints of the school, state that the rooms such as the Round Table Room are located on the second floor of the academy, despite the need for staff and students requiring them to take the stairs.
