That's why they wanted to study them so much... in the first place, even one student at NRC Overblotting during the school year almost never happens, let alone five. Overblot is like -- if you think of a fire, I guess? Think of a fire. The mage's mana pool is the wood, burning it is the magic, and the ash that's produced is the blot. In this metaphor we gotta kinda allow for the fact that when you have too much ash it turns into a monster and starts attacking people.
MOST mages don't have enough magic to generate that level of blot, and of those who do, it takes basically longterm trauma to get into a state of mind to Overblot. Like, the fault lines have to start really early for someone to snap like that.
PLUS, if someone DOES Overblot, 99 times out of 100 it's fatal. That's why the Charon squad isn't used to dealing delicately with people, because most of the time they're just there to pick up the Phantom that's left over, not an actual rational person.
So it's an anomaly that the circumstances have been created to make so many cases in one place, and that the cases have all been reverted. You are all from highly different backgrounds, as well, so it's likely something about the schoool environment that's triggering them to happen close together...
Outside authorities should likely be investigating your teachers and the grounds, along with the magical phenomena in the victims' bodies.
[nods at that last bit from Charon; he's already expressed his opinion on Aides' school enough times to feel the need to add on to that]
I can see why researching that kind of anomaly is important to understanding how to prevent Overblot from being fatal. But usually you'd want written consent from the people you want to examine first. Having cooperation will lead to better results.
It sounds like you can't control how the Charon squad act either. Your school sounds the most responsible for the situation. If someone wants to complain, they should take it up with the headmaster.
I mean, the Headmage is useless but it's not like he's malicious or something... the other teachers are competent and the educational curriculum is good.

...? Haven't a few of your friends had it happen to them...? It sounded kind of common.

One time is just a mistake. If it happens again then it's negligent oversight, even if it's a secret organization.

You don't cause the rampant Overblot, after all.
