Areth leaves the cafeteria and parts ways with Inra as Leikon decided to stay in the place a bit longer.
While making his way to his dorm, he hears a female voice from behind the door and asks the system to detect threats.
[SCANNING…]
[0 THREATS DETECTED]
Seeing the message, he calmed down and simply opened the door, when he was met with a woman, whose face went from calm to terrified as her eyes made contact with his.
!?
“Who are you!?” She said in fear as he replied that the place she was in was his dorm.
“This is your dorm??”
“..This is my dorm too!” The woman said, quickly changing her alert stance to a calmer one.
!?
“I’m Aylih, nice to meet you!” she told him while rapidly shaking his hand.
“I’m Areth,” He replied.
Aylih was a woman who seemed very social, from her long hair with light pink endings to her purple earrings, she just appeared to be a woman who was all about fun.
“What class are you from?”
“Class A,” Areth replied.
“Whoa..!”
“I’m from class C!”
Upon hearing that, Areth was quite surprised as she was the first student he met from that class.
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah.” This story is hosted at novelping.com.
“Also, which room did you take?” He asked her as she pointed to the door on his left.
“The left one, since you put stuff in the right one.”
“Alright, cool, I’m going to get myself a bed, so I’ll come back later.”
“Let me go with you!” She joyfully said as he thought about it before agreeing, not seeing any problem with it.
As the two walked out of the school’s territory, Something caught Areth’s attention.
He saw another student on his right side from afar, within the trees, talking to a tall, hooded figure.
He looked at them for a few seconds while walking with Aylih, then turned his attention away as whatever they were doing had nothing to do with him.
“So, what’s your reason for wanting to become a warrior?” She asks him.
“I am following the same steps as my parents, although I do plan to become the strongest and explore the world, I guess.”
“Ohhhhh!”
“Maybe I should make this my dream too!”
“What about you?”
“What’s your reason for wanting to become a warrior?” Areth asks her back, which makes her silent.
“…”
“…To pay for my Dad’s surgery.” She said with an emotionless voice.
The silence was loud, with only footsteps being heard between the two for a few seconds.
“…But other than that, I’ve been having a lot of fun here!”
“…”
“…I see,” Areth said as he had been once in a similar situation in the past before reincarnating here.
“…”
“Me neither.”
“…”
The walk was surprisingly less awkward than they thought, even after the rather mood-killing ending to their conversation, as the two eventually arrived at their destination, the furniture shop.
“Alright, let’s get that bed!” Aylih says with a happy smile on her face.
The two walked around looking for a bed that met his needs, a bed large enough so that he could turn around without risking falling off and hitting the ground.
While sighting, he eventually found a bed that seemed to his liking.
“Found one!”
Areth took a bed that he found adequate and walked to the counter to buy it, with the price being a simple 100 credits, which he paid with a smile on his face, remembering the horrid prices back in his original world.
The two walked out of the store, with Areth carrying the new item as they made their way back to the dorm with the massive furniture, placing it in his room as Aylith jumped on it the second and landed on the floor.
!?
“What are you!-” Areth let out as she lay on the bed motionless for a while before quickly getting up and telling him that if he ever needed anything, she would listen and try to help, but if only he did the same, which he agrees to before preparing to leave.
“Alright, bye-bye, Areth!” She said while waving at him.
As the young pulsarian went outside his dorm, he walked the hallways when he bumped into someone by accident.
“Ah, Sorry!” he said as he looked in front of him, seeing a man with short dark silver hair and a scar that covered one half of his face, and who wore golden ball earrings.
“…”
The man didn’t reply and just glared at him with eyes that didn’t show a sign of emotion.
!?!?
[IMMINENT THREAT DETECTED WITHIN YOUR SURROUNDINGS]
The mysterious man stared at him for a few seconds before walking away as Areth looked at him in confusion.
“….What the hell was that?”
will be working on “F rank Gacha Master ” tomorrow, so don’t really expect an update until Wednesday.
