For this, students who misbehave are selected (although they can through the WitchHunt pass on the death sentence to any other). Because only a bit of the body needs to be used, Headmistress Chloe can use everything else for a rejuvenating BloodBath. The ones who survive are sent to the nearby town for sexual services, which ensures the town's loyalty to the dormitory. And for some reason, this entire process has the bonus effect that some of the "fortunate" ones who get to graduate choose to stay and join the staff.]]
