I mean, this is an Evil school. To quote the Nostalgic Critic, Villians are the most motivated people in any story. I don't exactly need to put a quest to save the world up there to drive the characters onward. Heck, if there is an apocalyptic event, you guys would be pitching in to make it happen but ultimately acknowledge these things are as frequent as holidays and you'll have to go back to campus the day after.
