Chapter 8

"Look who's here. " A red-haired guy suddenly started to talk to me. 'I don't even know you.' "You're an attention seeker, are you? If you want, I could just give you my whole attention, you know?" A guy with yellow hair winked at me as he smiled. 'Disgusting.' "Lolol, let's have a bet. She will be the first one to be expelled." Another guy butted in, whose hair is blue. 'Who the hell are these bunch of @ssholes?' I met a group of power ranger-looking guys as I headed my way to the dorm. I don't want to start a fight. They would typically annoy a girl just to be noticed. Noticing that I didn't utter a single word or show any reaction. They left after leaving one last comment. "B!tch." They snickered at each other while they walked away. As for me, I'm trying to calm myself as my anger started to rise; I need to avoid unnecessary trouble. I don't know how to fight yet, so I need to train to defend myself. I focused my attention in front as we arrived at the dorm. '...This is the dorm? It looked like a 10-star hotel judging by the looks of it. Not only that, but they have 10 hotels! Exactly how rich is this academy?' Once again, I was awestruck while looking at the magnificent hotels. According to Jude, the building had 100 floors, each floor consisting of 10 rooms, one person per room. The rooms we got were distributed according to our grades. The penthouses will be exclusively for the top 5 male and top 5 female cadets. Cypher was the only one who refused his own, saying that it was too extravagant. My MC is too kind. "You can now go to your respective rooms. The smartwatch that I will be giving to you is the key to open your room. Just swipe your smartwatch at the lock and it will immediately open." While Jude was explaining, the first-year classes had also arrived. There are a total of 5 classes. Agastia Cosmos Diaspora Seofon Akasha "Remillia! Remillia Lockhart!" "U-uh, yes? Why?" "...Wha,t why?" I got preoccupied for a moment; I didn't realize that Jude was calling me. As his eyes zoomed in on me, his gaze looked like a predator waiting to pounce on me. I tried to be unfazed and didn't show any reaction at all. He seemed reassured as he watched my reaction. "Smart watch. Come and take it." "Ah... Yes, sir." I can feel my legs shaking as I go up to get my smartwatch. I could hear the other students from a different class mocking and laughing behind me. 'I can't take it anymore. Today is full of embarrassing moments.' I quickly grabbed the smartwatch as I entered the dorm. As I stepped into the room assigned to me, a wave of surprise washed over me. The room was huge, stretching out like a ballroom, with towering ceilings that seemed to kiss the sky. My eyes widened in amazement once more as I took in the fancy furniture and elegant decor that adorned the room. It was so different than the apartment I had, which I called home for weeks. As I settled into the plush armchair by the window, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease as I still couldn't get used to it. I removed a dagger attached to a belt that is strapped around my waist and played with it. "What if I drop out now?" Suddenly, a mini-me popped up at my left side. "Yes, dropping out should be better; at least you don't have to raid dungeons and defeat monsters." "Is that..." Before I could reply, another mini-me popped on my right side. "No! Don't listen to her. If you drop out, then how would you plan to escape this world?" After having an inner conflict, I finally decided to stay. Maybe I should try following the main story for now. The question is, how could I get close to the MCs? Do I need to become popular? Check mark. I've already done this by picking the weakest weapon. This is not enough, though. I need more to gain their attention. I stared at the dagger I was playing with. Nah.
