7 Dragon Root Academy (2/2)

”Ahh What a nice nap.”
Xin Fan turned around to have a closer look at his room mate. He was skinny, devoid of any body fat and wore a proud but stern look. It was the look that a ruler would make to his subjects.
”Mongrel, how dare you stare at this king.”
The aura that emanated from him seemed to cut like razor blades and Xin Fan backed off.
”Sorry, that was rude of me.”
Xin Fan dismissed this as if it were the ramblings of a delusional child and prepared himself for the day. From outside his room, a yell could be heard.
”BREAKFAST IS READY!!!”
Xin Fan jumped up and changed his clothes quickly. He was usually punctual about small matters such as this and he was not ready to break habit. Xin Fan ran down to the dining area, followed silently by his roommate. The dining hall was wide and could easily fit 50 people. He lined up for his breakfast: a bowl of congee, a few fried breadsticks and a bun . Xin Fan sat opposite to Man Qiu who he found already eating breakfast. Next to her was a petite girl wearing a striking black robe.
”Yo...How well did you sleep.”
”Hahaha...Horribly, This girl was pestering the whole night.”
Man Qiu looked up with bags under her eyelids laughing silently and turned around at the girl next to her.
”Thats mean Big Sis Qiu... I just wanted to play.”
The girl pouted and ate a breadstick while sulking.
”Who is she?”
”My roommate Bai Tianfei. What about you?”
”This king's name is Hei Chilong.”
Xin Fan turned around in surprise. Xin Fan did not even feel the presence of the boy behind him. Hei Chilong sat down next to Xin Fan and finished the bowl of congee in a single gulp. Chilong looked at Xin Fan's figure.
”This king has given his time to introduce himself. Mongrel state your name.”
Xin Fan started to get angry and spat back some words of his own.
”I am not a mongrel, my name is Xin Fan. We are both the same age at the same school. You being here simply means that you weren't special enough to enter into better schools.”
Chilong looked at Xin Fan in pity and responded back.
”Just you wait...By the end of the day, you will fear me.”
He then walked off finishing the last of his meal and throwing the tray into the deposit.
”Hey...Xiaofei, that wasn't nice”
”He was annoying so I dealt justice.”
The two girls whispered about a topic unknown to Xin Fan as he too, deposited his tray.
”Okay boys and girls, class will start in 10 minutes! Please make your way to your classroom!”
Lu Xi shouted across the dining hall prompting the sound of hurried eating. Xin Fan slowly made his way to his classroom only to see Chilong at the back. The classroom was large, large enough for around 50 students. They locked eyes for a second before breaking away. Xin Fan was studious and decided to pick a seat closest to the front. The classroom was lively with chattering around every corner. However, this came to a close as someone familiar walked into the classroom. The lady pushed up her glasses and grabbed a piece of chalk and wrote the big words 'Wang Mei' on the chalk board.
”Everybody listen! I am Wang Mei and I will be your teacher for this year. Pleased to meet you.”
The teacher finished off her introduction with a smug smirk and threw the piece of chalk to Xin Fan, the person directly in front of her.
”You! Go introduce yourself.”
Xin Fan walked up to the chalkboard and wrote his name in large characters 'Xin Fan' on the board and introduced himself to the class.
”I am Xin Fan from Silver Lark Village. 5 years old. Spirit is Rice. Nice to meet you.”
And thus the parade of introductions has begun.
