Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Roommates.

"I am sorry, Soma. We would like to have lunch with you guys, but we already had our plan with the other members".

"Don't bother. Off you go".

Soma and the girls had already received their lunch portion as they held a silver tray filled with the lunch the school had prepared for them. Apparently, the academy hosts periodic changes in the menu every day. For the first time in the academy, Soma received a lunch menu from a Western country where its main dish was bread.

"Such a cold response you have".

Soma ignored Serafina's whining as he began to turn his back from her and urged the two girls with him to search for the available seat.

"Let's go Hina, Xiao Lian".

"Okay, see you later, senior".

"...See you later".

"Bye girls, okay Lucy, shall we?".

"Okay".

The senior Lucy loosened her facial muscles as she found it amusing seeing her best friend, who always had a cold and unapproachable aura, had a casual talk with the opposite sex. The same thing also happened to the black-haired boy named Soma, who always replied curtly to every Serafina's questions as he was annoyed by her. Lucy's initial thought to Soma is. "Fufu, What a peculiar boy he is".

The three first-year students, after parting from the senior, found an empty table that was just left by the students who finished their lunch. The table consists of a dark wooden and long chair with soft leather on top. Beside the table was a wall with a high window plastered slightly above the wall. They began to take their seats and were engrossed in their food.

No one said a word after each of them expressed their thanks for the food and quietly enjoyed the dish the cafeteria provided.

Soma, who finished first, began to wash away all the food that stuck in his mouth by drinking a cup of mineral water before he turned toward the girls, who were almost done with their meal. Probably seeing Soma had finished his meal, the girls began to feel restless.

"Relax, you guys don't need to hurry. Just take your time!".

After they emptied their meal, Soma began to discuss the agenda the girls would do after this.

"So, after this. Where are the two of you going?".

Hina blinked her eyes as she began to ponder. Xiao Lian beside her opened her mouth.

"I want to see my room first".

"..That's right, I haven't seen mine either". Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Soma also nodded his head as he still hadn't checked his room in the dormitory. However, he still had something he needed to do before he went to his own room.

"You guys can go to the dorm together. I still have something I need to do".

After he was done with his business, Soma stood up from his place, said his farewell to the girl, and left the place.

"Let's meet again tomorrow".

"Okay".

"Mm".

Seeing Soma back, who gradually became smaller, the two girls who left behind sighs simultaneously for different reasons. Then they looked toward each other, finding it strange to have this coincidence overlap.

"What's wrong?".

"Nothing".

"So? Should we go toward the dorm, or do you want to go somewhere first?".

"Good idea, let's go".

Hina and Xiao Lian began to tidy their utensils and then left the cafeteria with full stomachs. The two of them enjoy strolling while being constantly aware of the gaze of the stranger who finds them attractive.

With the absence of Soma, who also acts as their guardian from other males. The other first-year students began to brazenly stare at their figure, salivating because of their beauty that melted their hearts.

Hina, even though she used to be seen by other people. She felt it unpleasant if it happened in this place, where an ability user was gathered. To distract her though, she turned her gaze toward Xiao Lian, who, as usual, walked with her expressionless face undeterred by those male gazes.

"Do you know where the dormitory for girls is?".

Upon hearing that question, Xiao Lian's feet halted as she was blanked for a moment. Hina, who knew her nature, sometimes got oblivious to the world's sigh.

"Seriously, why are you always. Fuu, luckily the route had been explained in the guidebook, but if it's too hard to find it. Let's ask some people for directions".

"Mm".

Hina, seeing Xiao Lian nodding her head willingly, began to resume their walk and followed Hina's lead. They arrived at the vast landscape that stretched with wide roads, grandiose decorations from a plan, and flowers. Also many buildings stood imposingly on each corner of the land.

The road was filled with many first-year students who were also curious about the academy and, mixed with their excitement, explored the academy place thoroughly.

They began to pave their way toward their own unknown as Hina occasionally looked toward the guidebook the school had given her.

After racking her brain for a while, they finally stood in front of a towering steel fence that stretched far away in a rectangle, acting as a protector of the massive building that stretched to the side like an apartment in European style with many glass and intricate designs stood firmly.

"This must be it".

"Let's go!". read-first-at-NovelFire

"Wait! Geez, that girl".

Hina sighed because of Xiao Lian's behavior. She found her behavior was rather obvious or maybe quite forward. Hina followed her from behind as they were greeted by two massive transparent gates that slid away, noticing someone who would pass through the door.

Once inside, a gust of flowery scent invaded their noses, and there was a long hallway that stretched in a four-way junction in front. From their right, there is a place that looks like a counter where there is a single woman in her mid-forties with a slightly chubby appearance who notices the arrival of the two.

"My, are you two first-year students?".

Hina and Xiao Lian's bodies twitched, and then they jerked their head to the side and saw a kind-looking older woman greet them with her smile.

"Yes, we are. We are here to search for our room".

"Mm".

The woman beckoned the two girls to approach her side as she began to flip the attendance book that the dormitory holds.

"Who was your name sweethearts?".

"My name is Akabane hina".

"Xiao Lian".

"Okay, please wait a minute".

Hina and Xiao Lian wait for the woman to inspect their names. Sliding her index finger upon the slip of a paper while searching each and every student's names. The woman raised her brows as she found it rather amusing seeing this coincidence. She dug out something from behind the counter before presenting it on the table.

"Here is the key. Your room is on the first floor. You guys just need to go straight down this hallway and turn to the left and search the door with number twenty-three on it".

"Alright,. But why is it only one room?"

"No, you guys are actually placed in the same room".

"What?!".

"...?!".

As per the guide from the woman, the two girls began to follow the path the woman had shown to them. Hina and Xiao Lian took a left turn as they were greeted by the deserted hallway with many doors on each side of the wall stretched forward to the very corner.

They began to search for the number, then found it sooner because it was still near the entrance hallway.

"So this is it?".

Hina, who held the key, inserted it toward the keyhole as she gently twisted it and with a satisfying click. The door was pushed open with the addition of creaked noise, showing them what was inside.

The interior of the room was pretty much simple, with two doors beside them, which led them to a toilet on the right and a bathroom on the left. Entering deeper, they were greeted by a spacious room with two single beds that stood on each corner and a wooden closet before it.

On each side of the bed, there were two study desks that stood close to each other, with many reference books the academy had provided for its students and a small lamp. Also, there is another thing on the desk: a silver Card.

"Is this? ".

"Our identification card?".

"I see. I will take this place then".

Xiao Lian, who understood what the card she picked was, began to place her bottom on the bed on the left side of the room, which absorbed his body further down.

"Woah, this bed is comfy".

Hina, who also began to sit on the other side, marveled at the bed quality. She cast her gaze toward the room as a sense of anticipation and worry began to fill her heart.

"Red hair?".

"Yes?!".

"From this moment forward. Please take care of me".

"Yeah, Me too. Please take care of me, Silver hair!".
