Chapter 266 - Eating At The Canteen (1/2)

Episode 259- Eating at the canteen

Eugene knew the rules of the academy because she had read the student handbook beforehand and understood that the teacher was giving her special treatment. She refused immediately, ”No, thank you.” she said only loud enough for the teacher to hear.

However, that also didn't mean that she wanted to be roommates with someone random. She saw two 2 aristocrats approaching her in the corner of her eyes so she quickly said, ”I will room with this girl.”

Because It was the first time anyone's heard her speaking, the people who approached her froze. That was because her voice was very low and cold. Her voice did not sound her age, and the two girls who were going to come up to Eugene to ask if she wanted to room with them froze still on their track and didn't dare come closer. The atmosphere was quiet for 2 whole minutes before the teacher nodded and handed Eugene her keys.

Eugene poked Camille to follow her and together they headed to their dorm. Camille followed her around like a robot who appeared as if she didn't realize what was happening. Though Eugene said dorm, the dorm Eugene opted for was like an apartment. Because there was only Eugene and Camille they both got their own separate, private room in the dorm which was nice. Camille did not have the money to get this type of accommodation so as soon as she walked she was immediately blinded by how huge and beautiful their room was.

”Wow…” She exclaimed as she walked around. It was her first time tasting such luxury and it was all because of..

”Miss… It is so beautiful…” She said with tears in her eyes making Eugene freeze. She didn't expect Camille to cry because of … the beautiful room?

Eugene blinked and awkwardly turned away, ”... Rest. After resting we will head downstairs to the canteen.” Eugene said to Camille who quickly nodded and headed to her room. Eugene stared at Camille's back for a good minute before she turned away.

Their respective luggage came soon after, so they unpacked and rested for an hour before they headed down to the canteen. The canteen was buzzing with a lot of people. And thankfully, this canteen was exclusive to only the first years.

The moment Eugene stepped into the canteen, the canteen became silent for a good few seconds before people continued with what they were doing. Many people were surprised by Eugene's height when she passed by them however didn't dare take a second look. Well, they didn't have to take another look to know that  Eugene was the tallest girl in the first year's class and as well as the 2nd second tallest of both girls and boys combined.

In the corner of Eugene's eyes, she saw a red curly head communicating with some people. There was no need to think deeply upon who that was, as she knew immediately whose curly hair those belonged to.

'Aernest.' Eugene whispered softly. Not audible for anyone or even Camillie at all. Aernest snapped his head towards Eugene's direction immediately and he waved at her before running over, leaving his new friends completely.

”Why are you here and… you've already made friends?” Eugene asked the moment Aernest stood in front of her.

Aernest paused for a few seconds and tilted his head, ”I came to eat! And, they were the people on the line in front of me so I struck up a conversation with them!.” He smiled. He did not mention what he was in line for and Eugene didn't ask.

”Ah…” Eugene mumbled in acknowledgment.

”Who's this?” Aernest turned to Camille who was as quiet as she could be.

”Camille, my roommate” Eugene introduced Camille.

”Nice to meet you. I am Aernest Veria. Her brother.” He smiled at Camille who bowed and replied, ”Yes. Nice to meet you esteemed sir.” Though Camille might be clueless as to what the Veria family is and who they were, she knew by the air that Eugene wasn't a normal person. This means Aernest wasn't a normal person as well.

Aernest turned to Eugene with a questioning look and Eugene turned to Camille, ”You don't have to be formal. We are just students.” Though Eugene said that she didn't get a response from Camillie who looked at Eugene with stubborn eyes.

”Let's eat together sister.” Said Aernest but Eugene refused. ”You should eat with your friends.”
