章節 4: Sixth roommate

Chapter 4

**********************************

"Hey, we can't stay outside, let's go inside and settle down shall we." Peter excitedly said.

They all go into the room. The room was empty, with only three bunk beds and a single study table nestled in the corner. And just like the soldier earlier said, their uniforms was laid on the beds.

"I call dips on the upper bunk. Peter said running towards one of the beds.

Jake shrugged and claimed the lower bunk, his expression unreadable as he began to unpack. While Vynn went towards another bed and took the upper deck.

When they all settled in, that's when the door to their room opened. They all sat down waiting to know who will come in except Jake who was indifferent about who comes in.

When the door fully opened, they could see a blonde hair beauty walking through the door confidently with her face devoid of any emotions.

"So you are the ones am sharing the room with." Sophia said. "Hmm, I recognize you." Sophia said pointing towards Peter.

Peter decided to come down from the bed and introduce himself.

"Hi, my name is Peter chuck." Peter said smiling with his hand held out for a handshake.

"Pfft. I don't want to make friends with you." Sophia said looking Peter straight into his eyes. "You are my rival and you will always be." She Said while walking towards one of the bed to unpack.

"What's wrong with her?" Peter asked no one in particular.

Peter decided to go back to his bed, that was when the door opened again and another female walked through the door again.

"Hi, everyone, My name is Kate." Kate politely introduced herself while smiling.

"Finally, a very polite lady." Peter said while looking towards Sophia to which Sophia just scoffed.

After Kate introduced herself, she went to the bunk Sophia claimed and took the upper bunk. And then finally the sixth roommate finally entered.

The door to the room opened once more and in came the sixth roommate who's name was Jack.

Jack entered and stood by the door scanning everyone's faces before coming in.

"So you are our sixth roommate?" Peter asked while looking at Jack all over from up to down.

"Yes I am. My name is Jack." Jack answered also sizing Peter up.

"Great. Not only did we have one pretty boy now we got two." Jake said quite frustrated.

Jack was a guy that had more athletic build than the others. His bulging muscles and chiselled abs could even be seen from the tight fitting T-shirt he wore.

Jack stood 6ft 2inches tall but his hair was colored brown and he also had a confident aura that surrounded him.

After the initial talk, Jack took one of the beds that Vynn took and started unpacking.

After everyone were done unpacking, Peter decided to say something.

"Guys. If we are going to be roommates, we need to know more about ourselves right?." Peter said.

"So I will start first. My name is Peter chuck, and during the war, my parents were part of the resistance movement, fighting against the werewolves in the early days of the war. They had been killed in a raid on the town by the werewolves. I was thrown from orphanage to orphanage until I decided to attend the academy to change my fate."

"My name is Vynn muscat," he said, his voice cracking as he fought back tears, "my parents were murdered In front of me by werewolves. I was hiding under the bed, listening to their screams. I couldn't do anything to save them because of how weak I was."

"My name is Jack Dem. My parents are alive, I just came to the academy to learn how to fight so that I could make myself useful in the war."

"My name is Jake." Jake said and went back to his bed to get some shut eye.

"What's wrong with him?" Jack asked.

The rest shrugged and continued with the introductions. It turned out that Sophia came from a rich and powerful family that contributed greatly in the war.

Sophia's family were the Josh's. They are one of the biggest factions that managed to fend off the werewolves when they were attacked. Ever since then, they managed to secure a position at the top by sharing the secrets of the werewolves. Well the ones they want the public to know about.

After the attack, the family grew more by creating equipment and techniques to combat the werewolves better.

While Kate on the other hand, her family were also well off but not like Sophia's until the war broke out and then they lost everything.

Her father was the only one left for her, he created a dojo that taught the art of martial Arts. She learnt martial arts from the age of five but then she couldn't progress further, she was always stuck. Hence that why she came to the academy to improve herself.

With the whole introductions out of the way, they decided to rest a bit before the said time of meeting in the dining hall.

After an hour worth of resting, the whole roommate decided to go to the dining hall to hear what the military had to say.

They finally got to the hall. The dining hall was a vast, high ceiling space filled with rows of wooden chairs, scent of polished wood and fresh baked bread wafted through the air.

The soft hum of conversation and clinking of silverware created a warm, welcoming atmosphere. They were six chairs per table so they decided to sit together as roommates.

As the clock ticked closer to 2pm, a sea of students flooded into the dining hall, their chatter and laughter swelling into a deafening roar that filled the vast space.

In just thirty minutes, the room transformed from an empty cavern to a bustling hub of activity, with every chair and table claimed by eager students. And when it was 2pm sharp, the meeting commenced.

Entering through the double doors on the other side of the room, were 11 high ranking military officials. Sitting on the grand chairs were 3 head generals of the academy. The highest authority in the academy took their seats. Each of them carried such powerful aura that it suffocated almost all of the students in the hall.

Then the next high ranking military personnels were the Generals. They were all 5. They also carried powerful auras.

Immediately they entered, the whole room fell silent. Then one of the generals stood up to address the students.

"Good day everyone." General Paul's voice boomed. "Listen up, you all should congratulate yourselves for getting into this prestigious academy.This academy was founded on the principles of courage, honor and sacrifice. It's purpose is to train young warriors like yourselves to fight against the werewolves."

"But I have to warn you, there will be no time for fun here. You are here to train like your life depends on it. Actually your life depends on it." Paul chuckled.

"So listen, in order to motivate you to train harder, we will introduce a system to all of you. Based on the score from your assessment tests, we will rank you guys." Just as Paul finished talking, a box was wheeled towards his side.

"So In this academy, we have 8 levels for you, the students. You can as well call it power level. With 1 being the lowest and 8 being the highest. So like I said earlier, based on the results of your tests, you will be ranked." Paul said pausing to gauge the students reaction.

With that bombshell Paul dropped, the students started mumbling. Some were mumbling excitedly while others were quite worried. The newly formed roommates were also discussing.

"So what rank do you think you will get?" Vynn asked Peter.

"Of course the highest rank. Did you even need to ask." Peter said excitedly.

While the roommates were discussing, Jake was worried about the rank he will get.

"This is bad. Real bad." Jake thought. "With the introduction of power rankings, am sure people will abuse their powers and become bullies. Darn it, what do I do."

"Alright. Enough talking, it's time to give you your power level so that you can all eat and rest up for today." Paul said.

"I have beside me, wrist watches, that will display your details and power level. It also has a tracker and communication feature so the school can communicate with you anytime anywhere."

"Without much further ado, let's get started shall we."
