Deuce, NRC and Yelling

Deuce says he “was ecstatic” when NRC’s black carriage came for him, and he feels the same when he wears the school’s ceremonial robes. 

Deuce says, “Sometimes I still can’t believe that this is THE famous Night Raven College and that I’m an actual student here”, says that his Halloween costumes is “precious” to him and that the ceremonial robes “are very important to (him)”.

According to one of his mother’s coworkers, she was very proud when he got into the school.

When asked to describe a time when he was glad he was able to use magic Deuce responds, “Definitely when I got accepted into Night Raven College. I never dreamed I could attend such a prestigious school.”

Deuce often uses a 体育会系 voice when speaking to upperclassmen, which is more than just being loud (localized on EN as “one of those ridiculously loud sports yells”).

The idea is to speak with audible passion, used by members of sports teams often when you greet someone or respond to instructions, showing respect to others (especially upperclassmen/coaches) and displaying your motivation and discipline through the intensity of your voice. It is kind of like how soldiers will yell “YES SIR” in movies: a sign of respect, dedication and spirit.

That is why Deuce will sometimes yell at people: he is not being rude, and is in fact making extra effort to be polite.

Multiple characters comment on Deuce’s 体育会系 voice, and Silver seems to appreciate the effort: “(Deuce)’s also always very energetic when he greets me in the hall or on the sports field. It’s good he has so much verve.”
