"Man this sucks... I didn't want to gain attention like this. I was thinking of something cool!"

"Ah don't sweat it. If you didn't get angry, I would have. I'm not going to sit and calmly watch an arrogant kid show off their narcissism... well not after what we went through. We're the real deal! Relax."

Sylvie said as she slapped Griff on the back with a toothy grin.

"Ouch... look I might be tough but you still gotta hold back a bit."

"Nah."

"Wh Why!"

"Cause it's fun!"

"You're one real tomboy aren't you..."

"You can say that I guess."

Sylvie laughed as the two walked down the hallway. Unbeknownst to them, a certain girl was eyeing Griff from behind with fury in her eyes.

'He thinks he's tough s.h.i.+t... d.a.m.n kid!'

She was gripping her fists in anger, and any student who noticed her fury would slowly back up or walk around her in order to not be subjected to her fury.

A couple hours later Griff was at the male dormitory. Morgana had told them that they'd be staying at different dorms as they didn't allow males and females to stay in the same dorms.

'I just hope my roommate isn't an a.s.shole like that girl earlier.'

[If push comes to shove you can always beat them up.]

'Yeah... how about no?'

Caphriel shrugged internally at that. Griff was standing in front of an apartment like building, the male dorms. Every student stayed with a roommate, so he would be living with someone he didn't know.

'She said my room was on the 5th floor right?'

[Room 504.]

'Thanks.'

After a few minutes he was standing in front of said room... and the door didn't look so promising. Compared to every other rooms door this one looked chipped with scratch marks...

"Well here goes nothing."

Griff knocked on the door.

"Hey! Is anyone inside? I'm your new roommate."

A couple seconds pa.s.sed, and a boy with green hair who was slightly shorter than Griff opened the door. He had a bored expression that didn't suit his fair looks.

"Oh... they told me about you... come in."

He opened the door, and walked back to his side of the room.

"Use that side."

Right after that, he fell asleep...

"Well... I guess he could have been worse?"

He looked around the room. Except for his side which only had a bed with white sheets the whole room was a mess. There were magic tools and textbooks scattered around, and clothes tossed around.

Griff sighed.

"Okay I guess I'll have to put up with this for a year..."

He didn't have much on him, just a small backpack filled with a few clothes, and several lacrima he had bought. He placed them next to his bed, and hopped on his bed.

'I hope Sylvie isn't in as bad of a situation as me...'

Meanwhile, at the female dorms bath

"KYAAA! She has silver hair! So cute!"

"Let go of me you wenches!"

"She even talks like a guy! Is this what they call a tomboy?"

"But she's so beautiful that I feel the need to protect her!"

"Let's hug her!"

"d.a.m.n IT! HEEELP!"

———————————————————————

'Yeah... she's probably in a better situation than me.'

Griff looked over to his roommate who didn't even introduce himself. He was sound asleep, and he hadn't even closed the illumination rune.

'Guess I'll close the lights. Tomorrow's my second day here.'
