Chapter 244 - New Roommate (1/2)
With afternoon classes cancelled for the day, Max was able to continue showing Ray around the whole academy. It really was like a city as the Academy had its own set of restaurants and shops based inside.
After Max had finished giving him a tour. He had dropped him off just outside a large square building. It was the dorm room building. Max went off to head inside and before he left he said if Ray needed anything to come and find him.
But honestly, Ray had enough talking to Max. He was starting to miss his companions Jack and Gary who never said much as they travelled. Ray felt like he had already done a month's worth of talking in a single day.
Before entering the dorm rooms, Ray thought back to the question he had asked Max earlier about why Blake had called Van the prince, a freak.
It seemed like once again Max started to feel nervous and tried to avoid the question, his answer was, ”that's what happens if you mess with Blake and the upperclassmen.”.
Just by the side of the dorm rooms was a smaller management office for the dorms. Ray pushed open the double doors and a sweet looking woman was standing behind the desk.
”Oh hello, I don't think I've seen you here before?” She said with a smile. The woman then started to look through a pile of papers she had been given. ”Ah here it is, Nes Talen correct? I have been waiting for you. I'm afraid we haven't decided who your roommate will be yet so we are going to have to put you into temporary accommodation for now.”
”I don't have a roommate?” Then Ray started to think back again to the information he had received from the Queen.
”Ah, isn't there one room without a roommate, I believe he goes by the Name Van Windboor?” Ray asked.
Windboor was an alias Van was using during his time at the Academy. When Van joined, he wanted to make sure that no one knew who he was. He wanted to not be treated any differently an enjoy his new life at the academy.
However, as soon as Ray had mentioned that name. The lady behind the desk started to sweat and seemed a little nervous.
”That room is… Maybe it's best if you just wait until I sought out a room for you with someone else?”
”I really don't care what room I'm in, so please just put me in with him.”
In the end, Ray's persistence had paid off and she handed him a set of Keys. Ray then left the management office and entered the dorm rooms. Unlike the dorms at Avrion just from walking through the halls, he could tell the level of quality was different.
Instead of wooden floors, the whole flooring was made of marble and there didn't seem to be a speck of dirt anywhere.
After walking around for a while Finally, Ray had found the room he was in. If he could complete the Queen's task as soon as possible and find out why the Prince was an outcast, then Ray would be to complete his other tasks.
Ray had entered the room and it was completely dark inside. The lights hadn't even been turned on. When Ray turned to hit the switch, the room looked empty but it was fairly large for two people. They even had two soft double beds on opposite ends of the room.
That's when Ray noticed that Van was sleeping peacefully in his bed. Ray went to his bed and placed a few of his belongings down. There wasn't much because Ray was able to use his endless Void for these types of things. In Ray's bag was mostly things like food and water.
