16 Chapter 16: Ahhhh a cliche

Robert watched as Magnus walked off, and then looked back to face his dorm. Robert slowly walked to the entrance while garnering some looks from other students here and there. He often heard remarks as "He looks like he's even younger than that monster,Sebas.", "Is he another monstrous transferee?", "Can't be, do monsters just fall out of the sky like rain?". Similar comments about how young he was were heard throughout his walk.

Robert walked to what seemed to be a counter. What he saw behind the counter was a pretty short haired girl with black hair going down just above the shoulders. She had bright yellow eyes that screamed sunshine and happiness. She gave off a warm feeling.

"Yes, may I help you?" The girl ask.

"Hello, may I ask where my room is?" Robert said.

"Name and age?" The girl replied

"My name is Robert and I'm 5 years old." Said Robert

"Ahh, I knew it *giggles* I was informed of a new student that was the youngest in history. Wait a moment, the Tier 4 representative will come here to assist you as per the higher-ups' instructions." Said the girl.

"I see.Thank you, kind miss." Said Robert.

"Julia. Call me Julia." Julia said as she smiled

"Well then, please take care of me, Julia." Robert said.

"Likewise."Julia replied.

After waiting for awhile, a 14 year old male youth could be seen walking towards them. The youth had black hair combed diagonally to the side, somewhat chubby cheeks, and black eyes. He had what one would call a baby face. The youth had light brown skin, and normal sized physique. He also wore glasses. Overall, he seemed pretty normal.

The youth approached Julia and Robert.

"Hello, I presume you are the new student, Robert?" The youth said as turned to face Robert.

"Yes, that would be me." Robert said as he nodded.

"Glad to meet you. My name is Ray Jald. Call me Ray." Ray said.

Robert nodded. Ray then prompted Robert to follow him as they both said goodbye to Julia.

Ray brought Robert to the second floor of the dormitory, and explained that each dormitory had five floors. The floors didn't have any particular order except for the fifth floors being exclusive to those that are the top in their respective tiers. Ray, as the representative of the Tier 4 students, was obviously staying on the fifth floor.

Ray brought Robert to a room near the staircase that they used to ascend to the floor. As Ray opened the door, Robert could see a room with a white paint finish, a bed fit for one adult, a small window, a bookshelf, cabinet, chair and table, and finally another door that said "Bathroom".

"It's fine. Anyways, if you need me then don't hesitate to call using the counter where Julia works." Ray said.

"I'll take note of that." Robert replied.

Ray left going back up to his room leaving Robert at his own leisure. Robert went to the cabinet, and then changed into the academy uniform that was a red polo shirt with a golden lining going from the shoulders down to the sleeves. This was coupled with black pants and black shoes. He also wore an armband which had a fire symbol on it which contained four vertical lines within. This signified that he was a Tier 4 student.

Robert decided that he'd like to take this chance to explore the academy a bit. Robert went back down, and then proceeded to just blindly wander. As Robert was wandering he eventually found himself in what looked like a park with wooden benches and a multitude of flowers and plants.

Robert liked the atmosphere of the place, but as he was immersing himself, he heard a girl crying along with some males laughing.

"Seems like this must be the cliche where there is a girl being bullied huh? Well, I'll check the situation first before doing anything." Robert said to himself.

Robert walked to where the noise was coming from, and sure enough, there was a small 12 year old girl with pigtails being picked on by 3 boys that seemed to be 13 year olds.

Robert walked at the side of the event without making any noise, and he saw the armbands of the four people. All of them were tier 4 students.

'Phew at least they're not tier 3. Now, should I try playing hero?' Robert said to himself

While Robert was pondering on what to do, one of the male noticed Robert, and shouted at him.

"OI PIPSQUEAK! THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?! GET LOST BEFORE WE BEAT YOU TO A PULP!" The bully said.

The other bullies noticed Robert too, and they started to walk to Robert.

Robert sighed.

'I guess I'll have to do something whether I like it or not. Well, I was going to help the poor girl anyways so fudge it.' Robert thought.

"Oi, get lost short stuff. Go back to where your mommy is." Bully 1 said.

'Strike 1' Robert thought in his mind.

"Why should I?" Robert said while raising his eyebrow.

"Cocky aren't you? I bet someone like you entered here through the backdoor." Bully 2 said.

'Strike 2' Robert thought again.

"I bet this guy is just a worthless kid HAHAHAHA."Bully 3 said as he laughed while the other 2 bullies laughed along with him

'Strike 3. That's it. It's go time.' Robert thought in his mind.

Robert then looked at the bullies and used one of his skills.

As Robert activitated Seikuken, his eyes became focused and and his senses sharpened. The aura around him changed, and the bullies stopped laughing as they felt it too.

"Going to fight back huh? Courting death!" Bully 1 said as he casted the elementary spell "Flames", and shot it at Robert.

"Hmph, what a cliche line." Robert said as he used his footwork along with his sharpened senses to dodge the elementary flames, and then he closed in with speed akin that to a seasoned warrior.

" Why yo-" Bully 1 said before being hit in the gut with a punch by Robert.

"ARGH" Bully 1 screamed in pain.

"Damn, he may be small, but he packs a punch! No matter!" Bully 2 said before throwing a barrage of punches.

All the punches thrown were parried when it entered the range of Seikuken. Bully 3 tried to kick Robert, but was dodged, and kicked back by Robert using a side kick to the stomach causing him to lose his last meal.

Bully 2 tried to punch again, but was surprised to see that Robert had disappeared from his sight.

"Behind you." A voice was heard from behind Bully 2.

Bully 2 turned around only to be faced with a punch to the stomach causing him to bend, and then a high kick to his jaw knocking him out.

All three bullies are out for the count.

"*Phew* that felt nice." Robert said, but before he was able to look at the bullied girl, he felt a chill. He looked behind to see a smiling Ray.

"May I know what is happening here?" Ray asked.

'Sh*t' Robert said in his mind.

[Oi language] Megumin's voice suddenly resounded.
