Chapter 20: Getting to Know Your Roommates
The group formed a line, and Lucca stood in the middle of the queue. After about 4 minutes, it was finally Lucca's turn.
"Good afternoon, my name is Lucca Mason," he introduced himself.
"Good afternoon, Lucca Mason," the person behind the desk replied, flipping through the pages of a book in front of them. "Dormitory B, Room 199. Please follow the signs."
Lucca followed the signs until he arrived at Dormitory B. He entered the main dormitory entrance and noticed a sign that read "Rooms 150-300" with an arrow. He followed the arrow and quickly arrived at his room.
Taking a deep breath, Lucca knocked on the door and entered. As he walked in, he noticed that someone was already in the room. It was a young man with black hair, blue eyes, and a height of around 1.40 meters. Lucca introduced himself, saying, "Hello, nice to meet you."
His roommate nodded, but Lucca persisted, "By the way, my name is Lucca Mason, and yours?"
"Nolan!" Nolan replied and went back to what he was doing.
Lucca realized that his roommate wasn't much of a talker, so he decided to leave him in peace. He began to examine the room. There were five beds in the room, two on each side, and the last bed was situated under a window facing the door. Each bed had a writing desk with wooden chairs and a wardrobe for storing clothes. In the middle of the beds on each side, there was a shared bathroom.
Out of curiosity, Lucca opened the wardrobe and found two uniforms inside. He thought to himself, 'Uniforms, really? This can't be!' Lucca was quite irritated because he had always disliked wearing uniforms since his school days back on Earth.
Lucca chose the bed on the left, near the door, while Nolan had already selected the second bed from the left and organized his things. Suddenly, the door opened.
To Lucca's surprise, two girls appeared, and one of them said, "We weren't the first to arrive!"
"Hello, I'm Lucca, nice to meet you!"
"Pleasure, I'm Alice Anderson," Alice was a girl with long white hair, which had a deep blue hue to it. Her skin was pale, with subtle freckles scattered across her cheeks. She was of average height for her age.
"Hey Lucca, I'm Ana Harris, and what's your name?" Ana asked Nolan.
Ana had long blonde hair, so light that it almost appeared white, with long, wavy strands. Her eyes were an intense shade of blue that almost looked crystalline. She had slightly tanned skin, and in terms of height, she was shorter than the average for her age.
"Nolan!" he replied without looking at anyone, continuing to read his book.
The girls were unsure of what to do because they had expected their roommate to be more communicative.
Lucca noticed this and said, "He doesn't like to talk much."
"Yeah, I figured. Ana, it seems we'll have to stay on the right side. Do you have a preference for the bed?" Alice asked.
"I prefer to be near the door."
"Just one question, is the room co-ed? How does, you know, our privacy?" He hesitated when asking this question, trying not to sound offensive.
"You didn't know the academy is like this?" Alice asked.
"No, I don't know much about it."
"Didn't your parents tell you anything?" Ana inquired.
"I spent the last 10 years training, so I don't know much about the realms and the academy."
"Basically, for us to change our clothes, which I bet is what you meant by privacy, I'll show you." Ana moved closer to the bed, reached almost toward the middle, put her hand on the floor, and suddenly, a wall appeared in front of Lucca, but not blocking the passage to the door.
"What?" Lucca reacted with surprise. He had never expected this to happen, and then the wall began to fall.
"I'll explain. There's a mana mechanism on the floor. So, you put mana into this mechanism, and a wall just appears."
"And to deactivate it?"
"There's a button to deactivate it!"
"Just like that? No explanation?"
"If there is one, I don't have it."
But again, The door burst open with brutality this time, and a woman appeared.
"Oh, it looks like i was the last to arrive!" Said a woman with short, messy brown hair. She had gray eyes, tanned, robust skin, an angular face with a determined expression, and an intense gaze. She was notably taller and had well-defined muscles.
"Please introduce yourselves," Alice said.
"Ivy White, nice to meet you! Now it's your turn."
Everyone introduced themselves, well, except Nolan.
'Now that we're all here, we can move on to the more interesting part! ahah'
