They are the prefect 4 from the manga at Weston college. They are (from left to right) Gregory violeta from the violeta lobo house, Edgar Redmond from the scarlet zorro, fox house, Herman Greenhill from the green lion house, and Lawrence Bluer from the sapphire owl dorm. tu can find the manga at www.mangahere.com

To be honest, season 3 is actually Season 1.5.

Season 3 takes place after episode 15 of season 1.

Some say that season 3 retcons episodes 16-24 of season 1, all of season 2, & all of the OAVs.

Others say that season 3 is "lost episodes" that take place BETWEEN episodes 15 & 16.
