There were only 5 rooms on the floor so it was easy to find room 101.They unlocked the door with the key and shuffled into the room.

The two looked around their accommodation and exclaimed, "WOAH!"

"It's BIG!" Lucia smiled and said happily.

"..." Fina curiously explored the s.p.a.cious room

A room would be an understatement. If this was Earth, the room that they entered would be an apartment instead. In fact, it was probably an apartment anyway. It was no wonder there was only 5 rooms on the 2nd floor of the building.

After they went through the small hallway after coming through the door, the two arrived at a s.p.a.cious living room, about 25 square meters in size with table in chairs placed in the middle.

There was a small kitchen area that was separated on the right side of the room and a balcony on the far side of the room that let the light of the sun s.h.i.+ne into the apartment.

On the left side was another small hallway and the girls could see that there were 2 doors there that were situated facing each other. At the end of the hallway was another door that led to the bathroom.

When they each opened a door, inside was a room with a small bed, desk, and wardrobe. Apparently the academy let the students in building S have an apartment with separate rooms.

"Fina! I'll be taking this room!"

"Okay, Lulu!"

Lucia went inside her room and started unpacking. She placed all her clothes inside the wardrobe and all her personal belongings on the desk.

There wasn't really anything much since she and Cecil have been traveling for the past months. Other than a couple of souvenirs that Lucia bought with her money, the rest of her money was used to pay for equipment repairs and buying new clothes if her old ones were ruined.

During their journey, Lucia had picked up a habit of collecting cooking recipes unique to the area they pa.s.sed by. Since neither Cecil nor Silver could cook, it was up to her to take on this important task.

So Lucia had compiled a few books worth of recipes which she placed neatly on the right side of the desk. Since there was also a kitchen in their apartment, she'd have plenty of time to flaunt her cooking skills which she painstakingly raised for months.

After Lucia arranged all her belongings, she took a look around her room and chuckled softly.

"... I have so little huh?"

There was a small rack near the window in the room. Lucia thought it would be a good place to put her weapons and armor on.

She took a look at herself and said.

"Hrmm... I guess it's better to change out of this. It's not like I'm going into combat or anything."

Lucia then started un-equipping her armor and weapons.

She then began arranging them on the rack. First was her leather armor, shoulder guards and knee pads. Then her worn out travel boots and the spell scroll belt she had around her waist.

This belt was something that Cecil had made for Lucia from a while back.

When the two journeyed into the so-called Magic City of Anglaria kingdom, Mystea, Cecil found out that spells could also be activated by drawing the magic activation crests on manimbued scrolls.

On Alterna, it was called quick-cast. After a magician drew their spell onto a mana scroll, in order to activate the spell drawn on the scroll only a short keyword was all it took. This keyword was called the 'trigger' and they would normally be words like 'activate', 'cast' or even the spell's name.

To Cecil this had so much practical use, so he bought as much mana scrolls as he could for Lucia to draw spells on. The quick-casts on more than one occasions saved Lucia from a pinch.

Of course, there was a downside to using this quick-cast and that was storage. It was c.u.mbersome for a spell caster to dig into their bag to pull a scroll out. So Cecil created the belt for Lucia so that she could have easy access to her scrolls.

From time to time Lucia would draw spells onto the scrolls since it became a habit, but now it turned more into a hobby instead since she now had original spells in her a.r.s.enal.

Finally, Lucia placed her katana, which she named s.h.i.+rayuki, on the rack. She kept her kodachi, which she named b.u.t.terfly, with her since she felt awkward without it.

Thanks to Cecil's teachings, Lucia now had a habit of always carrying a weapon with her. Without one she felt awkward, like she was naked or something.

"KYAAAAAAHHHHH!!"

Lucia turned around at the shout and was about to dash to Fina's room, but she quickly halted when she found Fina standing by the door covering her face.

"Fina? What's wrong?"

Aquafina peeked through her fingers and stuttered shyly, "L-Lulu... y-your c-c-c-clothes!"

Lucia took a look at herself. With her armor and robe off, she was only wearing a thin s.h.i.+rt. Since she took off her belt; her battle skirt had also fallen down onto the floor, leaving only her underwear.

So other than her top being covered by a s.h.i.+rt, her bottom was exposed. However, Lucia was puzzled at Fina's reaction. They were both girls so there should be no reason to be so fl.u.s.tered.

"Hrmmm... we're both girls anyway. No need to overreact!"

"B-b-but..."

"..."

Lucia silently went to her wardrobe and took out some casual wear and quickly dressed herself.

"Do we have anything we need to do for today?" Lucia asked.

After seeing her dressed, Fina had composed herself and quickly replied to her friend, "Other than registering into our dorms, nothing else."

"Okay! Let's go check out the rest of campus! We'll go get Cecil too and go shopping! I'll show you my cooking skills Fina!"

"O-ou! W-wait! You can cook Lulu?!"

"Nahaha~ of course!" Lucia put on a victory pose, then she waved her fingers at Fina. "Without me, Cecil would be hopeless during our travels!"

"Amazing! Uhm... by the way... who's this Cecil?"

From their first interaction, Lucia had always kept on saying this name, Fina couldn't help herself so she had to ask who this was and by the name, she also concluded that this 'Cecil' was a boy.

"He's my childhood friend!"

"Ah! Well, let's go then! Since he's a boy maybe we should go pick him up at the boy's dorm?"

"Good idea! One sec, let me go grab s.h.i.+rayuki!"

After Lucia strapped her katana to her waist, she walked out of the dorm with Fina.

Fina was curious so she asked.

"Neh, Lulu... is it necessary to bring a weapon around with you? I mean... we're on campus so there are no monsters around..."

"Oh? Nahahaha~ it's just a habit of mine~"

"Hmmm, alright~"

Fina was observant and with the way Lucia carried herself, Fina concluded that her foxgirl friend was a veteran in battle.

The aura that Lucia subconsciously let out for a split second when she touched her katana didn't escape Fina's observation.

'Hmmm... Lucia seems to be a warrior, but that sword... it looks slim. I've never seen such a thin rapier...'

Fina had mistaken Lucia's katana for a rapier since it was her first time seeing one.

Fina happily locked her arms with Lucia's and walked out of the building together and went towards the direction of the boy's dormitory.

Cecil on the other hand wasn't having such a swell time. After he arrived at his dorm he picked the room that had the window and quickly unpacked.

Now he was currently dealing with his troublesome and loud dorm mate.

"HEY! Short stuff! You listenin' ahhh?!"

Cecil's dorm mate was lizard-kin with crimson red hair and golden eyes who also sported a small horn on the middle of his head. He was much taller than the short Cecil and he was a little buff.

If Lucia was here, she would have immediately recognized this sn.o.bby dorm mate of Cecil's.
