The moderately sized Tomorrow's Magic School hardly had an atmosphere of learning; it wasn't a school at all, just a repository for the knowledge treasures a book thief had hoarded.
Morena discovered that the situation at Tomorrow's Magic School was somewhat different from what Dome had described, but she didn't care—they were merely cooperating with each other, each taking what they needed.

Perhaps this was the tacit understanding between the "rational" and the "wise."
The establishment of Crying Town was an accident; Morena, while listening to stories of "Molly's Scabbard" from her sister, had inadvertently come to Soul Valley with a group of people.
There were not many of them, just huddling together for warmth.
But one day, Morena's sister acquired great power, became a powerful witch, and naturally was chosen as the leader, becoming the town mayor of Crying Town.
