Hagun Academy is vast, and due to its system, tuition and accommodation fees are completely waived, making it one of the top-ranking schools among the seven knight academies.
Not to mention, there are several buildings just for student dormitories on campus.
Of course, at this moment, the dormitories are very quiet, with only a few senior students coming and going.
That's because the entrance exams have just ended, and the new semester won't start for some time. Most senior students are on break, with only a few staying behind to use the school facilities for training.
Given this, when Rozen enters the dormitory, it's very quiet, with hardly any students around.
According to the school's arrangement, Rozen will be staying in Room 406 of the first student dormitory.
It's a spacious room of about nine square meters.
The room has basic furniture, with a bunk bed quietly sitting in the corner. In addition to that, there's a TV and air conditioning, and even a sofa. The kitchen, toilet, and bathroom are also well-equipped.
"Surprisingly nice."
Rozen, holding his uniform, looks around the room and expresses satisfaction.
Over the past decade, Rozen has been wandering around the world, staying in luxurious presidential suites at times, but also experiencing rough sleeping arrangements. His experiences have been much richer than in previous worlds.
In the past, regardless of which world he was in, Rozen mostly secluded himself for training, resulting in a wealth of knowledge but life experiences similar to those of ordinary youths. Moreover, he never let his physical age grow beyond twenty, so he would start crossing over again when he was around his teens, limiting his growth to the category of youth. Despite having seen and heard much, there were few breakthroughs in his mental age.
This time, Rozen has traveled the world for a whole decade, seeing various customs and browsing through the various aspects of the world. Although his personality is still as impulsive and lazy as before, his spirit has matured considerably.
So, even if the accommodation is poor, Rozen can accept it calmly. Of course, if the accommodation is good, he won't refuse it either.
After all, who wouldn't want a bit of quality in their life?
"You think it's nice too right? Altera?"
Rozen asks aloud to his vassal, but only silence greets him.
"...Is it still like this?"
Rozen sighs quietly, as if he had expected it.
Since coming to this world, Altera hasn't spoken a word.
It's as if she has completely disappeared. Not only has Altera not appeared again, but she hasn't spoken a word either. She has silently accompanied Rozen in spiritual form for the past ten years.
At times, Rozen felt lost and didn't know what had happened to Altera.
However, one thing is certain.
That is, during these ten years, as Rozen wandered and acted recklessly in this world, Altera's mood seemed to be very complex.
The evidence is that Rozen has been dreaming of Altera's past over and over again during these ten years.
The pure girl galloping on the grassland.
The white giant rampaging on the earth.
Rozen has been having such dreams non-stop over the past decade, much more frequently than before. As soon as he falls asleep, he is bound to have such dreams, allowing Rozen to feel that Altera's emotions are constantly visiting him through the contract, manifesting in the form of dreams.
This has led Rozen to consider commanding Altera to appear, but he ultimately refrains from doing so.
"Anyway, as long as I can truly feel your presence, that's enough."
Rozen mutters to himself, letting his voice reach the ears of the girl who has been silently guarding him.
"In any case, I still have time. It's okay to take it slow."
In this regard, Rozen has enough patience.
"Well then..."
Rozen starts to take off his clothes, removing the worn-out clothes that clearly show signs of exposure to wind and frost, and directly throwing them into the trash.
Although it's not yet the start of the school term, since he has received a brand new student uniform, Rozen doesn't want to continue wearing the clothes he used for roughing it out. He just wants to take a good bath, change into new clothes, and relieve the fatigue from the long journey.
As a result, Rozen stripped himself completely, without a single piece of clothing on, and then prepared to enter the bathroom.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
"Click..."
Accompanied by the sound of a door opening, the door to the dormitory was pushed open.
"Huh?"
Rozen, who was passing through the entrance and preparing to enter the bathroom, froze in place as he faced the door.
"Ei!"
And the person who walked into the dormitory after opening the door looked at this scene, widened their eyes, and froze in place.
It was a girl.
A girl who looked about the same age as Rozen.
The girl's facial features were reminiscent of the typical Eastern appearance, with a kind of Western beauty. She was wearing a suit-like attire similar to a ceremonial team, with outstanding looks and a well-proportioned figure, especially her chest, which was particularly eye-catching. Even when wearing clothes, it couldn't hide the wonderful ups and downs, and a satin ribbon was tightly tied around it, making her size even more prominent.
The girl also had a pair of eyes as fiery as burning flames, and her hair was also a fiery red color, presenting a hue similar to a red lotus. With her outstanding appearance, she looked like a goddess of fire from mythology, captivating and intriguing.
Such a girl, at this moment, stood at the doorway of Rozen's dormitory room, looking at Rozen who was completely naked and facing the door, wide-eyed and completely stunned.
In her hands, a bag dropped to the ground, telling others how shocked the girl was.
Naturally, Rozen's shock was no less than hers.
"..."
"..."
The boy and the girl looked at each other, both falling into silence.
After a while, the girl's eyes involuntarily lowered, looking at Rozen's lower abdomen.
Immediately, with a "pop", the girl's face exploded like a boiling kettle.
"OHHHH!"
A second later, Rozen let out a strange cry that echoed through the dormitory.
"YAAAHHH!"
Following closely behind, the girl let out a wail that pierced the sky.
Thus, Rozen's life at Hagun Academy began with being seen through by a member of the opposite sex, and the curtain was lifted in a manner similar to the plot of a light novel, but with the roles reversed.
Ten minutes later, Rozen arrived at the office of the chairman of Hagun Academy.
The reason, naturally, was because of the commotion in the dormitory, which led the dormitory administrators and security personnel to rush over in a panic. After understanding the situation, they notified the chairman, who then called the parties involved here.
It was inevitable.
"Just as the entrance exams have just ended, and the new semester has not yet begun, the two talented A-rank Knights who are destined to attract attention from all sides actually caused such a disturbance. If I, as the chairman, don't come out to handle it properly, I really don't know what it will turn into. Don't you think so, Arneet-kun?" Sitting behind the desk, Shinguji Kurono, who was smoking, said in a somewhat annoyed tone, indicating that this was indeed a matter that only she could resolve.
But so-called A-rank Knights have this kind of influence.
"Throughout the ages, whether it's in any academy, most of the students at the top of the Knight rankings are usually B-rank or C-rank Knights. The Blazer who are rated as A-rank Knights are all great heroes worthy of being remembered in history. Simply put, A-rank Knights should not appear among student Knights. Even within the League, A-rank Knights are quite rare. So, generally, A-rank Knights become official Knights, achieve various feats, and advance their strength to be ranked among the world's best before they can be promoted. As for student Knights, before you appeared, there was only one in all seven academies."
Shinguji Kurono said so.
"Starting from the evaluation of you two as A-rank Knights, you are destined to rise to the forefront of the world in the future, enough to attract attention from various existences worldwide. Such an accident after entering the school really gives me a headache."
Shinguji Kurono said these words, but her expression didn't look like she was having a headache at all.
In front of her, Rozen and the girl with fiery red hair were standing a subtle distance apart from each other.
Naturally, Rozen had already dressed neatly, changing into the student uniform. Even the girl had changed into a girl's uniform, and the black-and-white uniform looked so decent on her. If the color scheme were richer, it could even be worn as formal attire.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the point.
At least not for Rozen.
"Two talented A-rank Knights?" Rozen glanced at the girl.
Shinguji Kurono's words told Rozen who the girl in front of him really was.
"That's right." Shinguji Kurono affirmed Rozen's guess in a calm tone.
"She is Stella Vermillion, the second princess of the Vermillion Empire, known as the 'Crimson Princess,' the holder of the world's strongest magical power."
Unexpectedly, the person who caused such a commotion with Rozen was the princess whom Rozen had recently been curious about, who had always held the highest entrance exam scores in history.
However, now, this princess seemed to be in a daze, standing there with her head down, looking as if she had suffered a great blow.
There was no way around it. For a princess like her, witnessing a scene of an man's body completely exposed was too impactful.
If the other party was indeed a princess who was ignorant of the world and had received a good education, suddenly witnessing such a shocking scene might leave a psychological shadow from then on, and it wouldn't be surprising.
"Now I'm really in trouble." Shinguji Kurono sighed and looked at Rozen.
"What do you think we should do, Arneet-kun?"
Shinguji Kurono unexpectedly passed the buck to Rozen.
However, Rozen wanted to say...
"I'm the one who was seen naked, and I haven't even said anything yet. Are you planning to push all the responsibility onto me?"
Rozen's tone was also full of complaints.
You know, it was also the first time for Rozen to be seen completely naked by someone of the opposite sex.
Moreover...
"Why did the princess barge into my room? Isn't that strange?"
Rozen raised this objection.
However...
"Your... your room?" Stella Vermillion finally seemed to come to her senses and stared at Rozen.
"What are you talking about? That's clearly my room!"
The princess made such a claim.
Her voice unexpectedly clear and pleasant, belonging to the type that sounded rough and hearty but still comfortable to listen to.
Because Rozen had only heard her wail, he was somewhat surprised to hear her have such a voice.
However, the content of her words was puzzling.
"The 406th room of the first student dormitory is my dormitory. When I received the admission notice and uniform, the administrators indeed told me so, and my key could indeed open that room. If that's your room, then what's going on?"
Rozen protested to her.
"The 406th room of the first student dormitory?" Stella Vermillion was also stunned. "But... the notice I received also told me that I lived in the 406th room of the first student dormitory, and the key I was given could indeed open it!"
Upon hearing this, both fell silent at the same time.
Immediately, Rozen and Stella both looked at Shinguji Kurono.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Shinguji Kurono said calmly under the sharp gazes of the two, without changing her expression. "Generally, the dormitories at Hagun Academy are shared by two people. Although there has never been a situation where male and female students share a room before my tenure, Hagun Academy has been completely inferior to the other six Knight schools in recent years. Even though our academy requires an entrance exam for admission and students are carefully selected, the results are getting worse year by year. So, in order to revitalize Hagun Academy, the board of directors summoned me here."
With that said, Shinguji Kurono took a puff of smoke and spoke as if she were chatting.
"Although I didn't know before that there would be such a big surprise this year, two A-rank Knights appeared among the first-year students, and they are the top two in the world in terms of total magical power. However, when I took office, I had already set a policy. In order to revitalize the academy and encourage students to grow through mutual learning, regardless of seat number, gender, or background, students with similar strength will be arranged in the same dormitory. When there are people of similar rank around, they will compete with each other to stimulate their competitive spirit, which is why this allocation method is intentionally used."
Hearing this, both Rozen and Stella had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Could it be...
"Just as you thought." Shinguji Kurono suddenly smiled and made an official announcement.
"Rorelai Arneet."
"Stella Vermillion."
"From today onwards, you two will be roommates, spending your days together at Hagun Academy."
"I hope you can improve each other and get along well."
Shinguji Kurono's words silenced both Rozen and Stella.
The next moment...
"W-What kind of joke is this...!?" Stella let out her second wail of the day.
As for Rozen, he was left with only one thought.
"It seems like the days ahead are going to be problematic."
