One day, he bullies Klaro again and tells him to prove his bravety by going to a specific house in the forest on his own. Klaro enters the house together with his sister Karo and Tom Turbo. The kids enter a room which seems to be a classroom. Suddenly, creatures appear all around the room, seemingly a class of ghosts, who greet him as their new member. The ghosts seem to admire someone call Fatzko. When Klaro wonders who that is, the teacher explains that he is the headmaster of the ghost school, and a monster appears in a wall, introducing itself as Fatzko. Fatzko orders Klaro to take any chance he has to steal during school and deliver the money to him every Friday, otherwise he would haunt him every night.
