Chapter 5: A not so simple roommate
“Classmate, you’re a freshman?”
“Do you actually have giants’ blood?”
Many Holy Dawn Academy students quickly encircled Ayrin, incomparably admirative.
For young people, someone who could do things they couldn’t do would always garner their respect and curiosity.
But at that moment, after finally eating his fill, Ayrin felt the surrounding sounds become a little vague and indistinct. His eyelids also became heavier and heavier.
“Bastard! What the hell is this bloodline, isn’t it over yet?!”
“You can’t just simply sleep here!”
Ayrin forcibly kept his eyes open as he shouted in his mind, but his resistance wore off before he could even clench his fists like he usually did. He flabbily fell on the ground and slept tight, snoring.
“He fell asleep?”
“He actually fell asleep straight away? Who the hell is this guy?”
“He ate so much he looks like a ball, and he actually fell asleep just like this?”
“What’s this really about! Who sent you to mess with me?” The boss was on the verge of tears when, just like other people, he saw Ayrin fast asleep.
“Just give him to me.”
At this moment, a young handsome academy teacher squeezed his way inside, his lazy voice drifting together with him. He straight away lifted the fast asleep Ayrin on his shoulder.
“This is?!”
The fat boss and some senior students had an immediate change of expression the moment they had a clear look at the young teacher’s face. Chills ran through them from head to toe. They waited for this young handsome teacher to carry Ayrin out of the crowd, none of them daring to make any loud noise.
“What’s the matter?” A junior student not in the know couldn’t resist asking a pale-faced senior student beside him.
The senior student struggled to resist his fear, and said in a quiet shaky voice. “This is teacher Liszt…”
“Teacher Liszt!” Shock and respect immediately filled the eyes of all the junior students. “The only one who comprehended the academy’s secret skill “Holy Gate of Life”… The strongest elite teacher in the academy, Liszt?!”
“That’s him.” Cold sweat was dripping from the fat boss like rain. “Legend says this guy was raised by dark night wolves…. The most cold-blooded, the most blood-thirsty, the strongest teacher in the academy… Liszt!”
“It seems you’re not so popular inside the school, these little guys didn’t even dare make a single sound after they saw you.” As soon as Liszt stepped out of the commercial street, a black-robed old man suddenly appeared in front of him. It was none other than the super-talkative librarian, Professor Plum.
“They’re just being misled by a bunch of rumors. Isn’t being feared something to be proud of, anyway?” Liszt casually shrugged his shoulders. His eyes actually shrunk, however. “You actually, a senior generation with a hobby for books and training, the genuinely strongest teacher in the academy, you actually also left your library for the sake of this little guy?”
Professor Plum didn’t react to Liszt’s words, merely glanced at the fast-asleep and snoring Ayrin. “His body’s in a very strange condition, what do you think?”
Liszt said, “His present state is the same as ours when we exceed the limits of our body after hard training. I’ve seen this little guy at the registration place, so I’m very curious about what happened to him inside the library. How did he turn this way?”
“I don’t know.” Professor Plum shook his head. “He stayed a very short while in the library, but there was already something a little wrong with him by the time he went out.”
“There’s no one in St. Lauren who can do any mischief inside your library.” Liszt smiled lazily. “So there were probably quite a few secrets hidden on this little guy from the beginning.”
Professor Plum stayed silent for several seconds. He said, “What are you going to do?”
“I don’t have the hobby of prying someone else’s secrets. Holy Dawn Academy also allows every student to conceal their secrets. If this little guy can make me satisfied, I will personally take charge of his teaching.” Liszt rubbed his chin and said, “Now I’m planning on sending him to the dorm.”
Professor Plum seemed to have become even more uncommunicative than ordinary people once outside the library. He nodded when he heard Liszt, then turned around and left straight away.
“Senior,” Liszt suddenly called.
Professor Plum looked back, unsure what Liszt wanted.
“There will definitely come a day when I surpass you.” Liszt put his lazy expression away and spoke in all seriousness.
“Still early.” Professor Plum shook his head and merely spit out two words with an expressionless face, then he turned around and walked far away.
Liszt didn’t seem to have taken it to heart either. He talked to himself while walking in the direction of the “Ivy district” in the distance. “A good roommate is also very important, looks like I’ll have to spend some efforts again.”
…
Early morning.
Snore… Snore…
Snoring full of rhythm rose and fell.
Ayrin lay on a wooden bed covered in dark green bedding.
The dancing tree shadows sprinkled through the window lattices and fell on his body. He’d slept himself into a torpor, felt a little thirsty. As soon as his drowsy eyes pried open, as soon as blurred images started to flash by, his eyelids once again fell closed.
He had no idea what happened.
He only felt that he’d slept for a long time, slept very contentedly, very comfortably.
“Classmate, wake up…”
Such a sound suddenly rang in his ears.
