Waking up the following morning, Xero found out that he had slightly over slept. It was already past eight. He rubbed his eyes lightly and it was then that he saw the hologram ganging up in front of him.
[Daily Quest Completed]
[20 EXP gained for completing 6 hours sleep]
He closed the tab but it that instant, another message popped up.
[Hunger builds in the next fifteen hours.]
[14:59:59]
Xero stared at the message totally confused at the meaning. He shoved off the thought and decided to rush to refectory for his breakfast.
He got down from his bed and it was then that he noticee that both Tenny and Dennis weren’t in the room. The only person in the room was the last guy in the room and himself.
He thought it would be best to get acquainted with all his roommates. He got to him. He was reading what seemed to be a magazine that Xero didn’t care to notice.
"Hey. Did you see Tenny and Dennis today?" Xero asked politely but the guy didn’t make a move.
Xero felt that the guy hadn’t heard him the first time so he repeated himself again but the guy didn’t respond. He looked at him and then back at the paper in his hands like they mattered more to him than Xero.
"What the hell?! Could you just answer my question?" Xero said getting annoyed but that too fell on deaf ears.
With that Xero had his bath and headed to the refectory for a meal. He got in and got his premium meal and it was then that he remembered that he hadn’t eaten his dinner last night because he was totally tired.
He took the same seat he took yesterday and began to eat. He had planned to fight the guy who had stepped on his toes yesterday. He only hoped that the guy started the fight.
Well as luck will have it, the entire crew had a different plan. They were in the refectory and had consulted a high level for back. They had paid a level 4, 80 points to beat Xero up.
Once Xero had finished eating and noticed that no one was looking for his trouble, he headed out of the refectory and it was then that he saw Tenny standing somewhere in front of him.
"Tenny!!" Xero called out as he caught up to him. Tenny turned to him and was happy to see him.
"Seems like you overslept."
"Yah. I was tired yesterday." Xero said and noticed that he was holding a similar material that the guy in his room was reading.
"What’s that?" He asked curiously. Tenny stared at his hand and noticed he was referring to the paper in his hand.
"Ohh.. the dorm master gave this to us. Dennis is with yours. Actually it’s a booklet for rules and regulations or something like that." Tenny said casually.
"Can I have a peek?"
"Sure."
Tenny gave him the booklet and Xero glanced at it. He wanted to find something different from what he had read in the library. He didn’t find any contradiction to the book. The only new rules he saw was about not attacking a teacher and going to the dark horizon.
He also found out that the had Combat Classes three times a week and Specialty Class once a week. Then they had a Forum Inter Sports on Fridays.
It was a simple schedule but Xero not everyone would be posted to the same class. Their were six arms in the year one. Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black and White. Students were to know their class by the colour of their watches.
Xero had a green watch which meant he was for the Green Class. Tenny was in the Blue Class. Xero could see that Tenny wasn’t entirely happy with the arrangement.
"Not to worry, we could still see after classes." Xero and patted Tenny on the head.
"Xero!"
He turned sharply and saw Lora standing at the other side of the hallway. He turned back and gave him back the booklet.
"I’ll back. You should get to your class." Xero said as he approached Lora. Tenny nodded and proceeded to get to his class.
"You’re in Green Class then." Lora said as Xero got to her and he nodded. Lora flashed her hand and he could see her green watch.
He happy that at least he knew someone in his new class. He had been fearing that and didn’t want to repeat his old life here again. He wanted to be as lively as possible but to an extent also.
"That’s your friend, I guess?" Lora asked referring to Tenny who had just left.
"Yeah. He’s my roommate." Xero said as they walked towards their class.
"Okay."
They got their class and they noticed that it was a large class and most students were already inside.
"Guess we are late." Xerk whispered to himself lightly.
"Hey!! It’s the gold digger!! Here comes the gold digger!!" Someone blurted out and started laughing.
Xero turned sharply and noticed it was the from the refectory yesterday. A smirk appeared on his face. It seemed like luck had brought his meal already cooked.
He walked past him silently and he sat beside Lora. Most guys stole glances at him. He didn’t actually know why and he didn’t care much about it.
Then a man walked into the classroom and the room went still and silent. Xero stared at the man. The face was familiar but he had no idea that the man standing before them was the very man he had punched back at the entrance exam.
He had a sword carried behind his back and his hair was blonde. His eyes were sharp and dense.
"My name is Kenry Ostland. I will be Green Class Combat Teacher." Just then everyone froze at the name. Xero didn’t know why they all seemed surprised by the name. He could only wonder who he was.
