章 32: Fancy Restaurant
"You said your name is Nolan ey?", Liam asked as he glared at the guy in front of him.
"Yes! Since we're roommates, let's be friends hehe."
Looking at the guy's enthusiastic behavior, Liam gave up on acting pissed off for any longer. Letting out a sigh, he spoke, "Sure, let's be friends. How did you get an admission by the way?"
"Oh that, I took the entrance exam and then the physical exam. I passed both with good scores so here I am! My mother is very proud of me right now hehehe. I heard that she's going around telling everyone in the neighborhood that I got into the academy.", he said, grinning ear to ear as he spoke animatedly.
Nodding Liam asked the next question, "Got it. Did you take a body enhancement serum or was it genetic mutation serum?"
"Oh, I took genetic mutation serum. It's pretty cool since it's made from the blood of three eyed octopus.", he said and without giving Liam a head's up, he transformed. His arms quickly turned into octopus tentacles with four tentacles for each arm. His head became smooth and looked like a jellyfish with three eyes in a triangular formation.
"Hehe, isn't this cool? I can multitask with my tentacles and with my eyes, I can see clearly underwater and also in darkness. I can do a complete transformation but I'll lose control of myself if I do that...", he said as he went back to normal.
Liam felt nauseous when he saw the transformation occur right in front of his eyes but he kept himself in control as he nodded and gave Nolan a thumbs up.
"It's cool.", he said as he walked towards the toilet.
'Even though I saw Reed transform multiple times, I still feel nauseous. His transformation wasn't as excessive as Nolan's though...'
After emptying the contents in his stomach, he walked out feeling tired.
"When do the classes start?", he asked Nolan who was busy on his laptop.
Looking up from his laptop, Nolan thought for a second, "Hmm, the classes actually start tomorrow but attending classes isn't compulsory in the academy. We should be good as long as we are able to get good scores in the mid terms and finals.
Though, it'll be better to go and check the classes out since the first three days only have preparatory classes where they tell you about the stuff you'll be learning from each of the subjects. It'll help you decide on a major which is very important. After all, once the first semester is done, we'll have to take classes based on our majors."
Liam nodded as he pulled out his phone, "Is there anything else I have to know? Let's go get some lunch for now. We can talk on the way."
Jumping up from his bed, Nolan marched out enthusiastically, "It's your treat hehehe!"
With a smile on his face, Liam followed behind Nolan and locked the door behind him. As they walked down the stairs and out of the building, Nolan told him about the things he thought were important.
"Honestly speaking, there isn't much to say but based on your questions... are you from a different planet? Like a special student?", he asked as he gave Liam a curious look.
"Yeah... I am a special student but I'm nothing special haha. After all, just theoretical knowledge won't help me from now on."
Nolan nodded like it was irrefutable, "You're right. Though theory contributes to 40% of the total score, unless you're good or average at the other on field subjects like dueling and stuff, you won't get good jobs or you won't pass. So you might have to put some effort into your physical performance.
Anyways, since you're new to this place... there are a few things you should keep in mind. It's best to not get involved with the kids who belong to Brownmeld, Harrow and Dahstomp families. They hold a lot of power in this city and they are capable of making people disappear if they find a person annoying.
The laws won't be able to help you if you're dead and your body goes missing you know? Also, keep one thing in mind. Body enhancement serum and genetic mutation serums can be taken by the same person. They will boost each other really well and for people like us, who have weak backgrounds, that's the best way to get strong.
Oh are we going to this restaurant?", he asked as he saw Liam head towards a well known restaurant in the city.
Liam looked back, "Hell yeah, I studied like crazy for the past month so I deserve a reward for sure!", he said a she walked in confidently.
No one stopped him but when Nolan tried to enter, the guards did not let him go in.
Frowning, Liam walked back towards the entrance, "Is there something wrong? Or is there some kind of dress code that's needed?"
"Sir, there is no dress code but we don't want the other customers to feel uncomfortable. You should at least wear normal clothes but this guy here looks homeless... No offense to anyone here but I hope you respect the other customers."
Liam looked at Nolan who had followed him with shorts and an extremely loose T-shirt.
"Can you give him an exception for once? He just moved to the dormitories a few minutes ago and he has a lot to unpack. This won't happen next time.", he said as he looked at the guards who were keeping Nolan out.
One of them hesitated and looked at his partner who sighed and shook his head, "Sure but we will not allow this again. Our memories aren't bad, kid."
"Thank you!", Nolan said excitedly as he walked in and followed Liam towards one of the empty tables.
The guards looked at their backs and sighed. The one who hesitated before looked at his partner, "Senior, why did you let them in? Didn't the manager tell us not to let someone like that in?"
"They're students at the academy and they're not dropout's like us. They're still student's so the normal rules don't apply to them."
