After 15 minutes, we could see the Academy in our line of sight. It was very big, occupying an entire top half of the mountain. It was a very magnificent sight, befitting of the world's number one Academy. Soon, we arrived at the Academy's front courtyard where we were told to register ourselves for our dorm rooms.

I bade farewell to Elwin and Dekdras as Urea and I went up to the girls' dormitory section with Urea to register. After I finished registering, the clerk gave me a key and told me my room was in the second floor, room number 212. After I finished registering, Urea went ahead to register as well.

When she finished, I asked her, "So which room did you get?"

She replied skyly, "Um, my room is in second floor, room number 212."

"Wow! That means we get to share the same room together. I also got the same room, let's help each other our when we need it!" I replied excitedly. I noticed that she stopped stuttering when we spoke to each other along the way. I was really happy as it meant that we were getting closer together.

"Let's go to our room now." I said with a smile.

She nodded.

We proceeded to climb up the stairs of the girl's dormitory. It was really big, housing all the female students in the Academy. I was feeling excited, albeit a bit nervous as well. It was my first time in both my lives to live in a dormitory, that too in a girls' dormitory.

We soon reached our room. I inserted my key into the keyhole and unlocked the door. As I opened it and entered, I was surprised to see a beautiful human girl about the age of 15 sitting on a bed, reading a book while facing the window. I turned to see the signboard on the door again to make sure we entered the correct room. What greeted me was the number 212, which meant we arrived at the currect place.

The girl noticing the noise we made while opening the door turned around to see who it was. Noticing us, she beamed a smile at us saying, "Hi! My name is Rosalind. You two must be the new students arriving at the academy this year. It's nice to meet you! My friend Celia and I will be sharing this room together with you from now on for the next year. Celia has gone out at the moment so you will meet her tonight. So may I know what your names are?"

Surprised as I was at hearing their names, I quickly recovered and introduced myself saying, "Good morning senior, my name is Aelene. I will be in your care for the coming year." After finishing, I turned to Urea to indicate to her to introduce herself as well.

Noticing my intentions, she stuttered, "Good-Good morning se-senior. M-my name is U-Urea." When she finished, she hid behind me with her face flushed red. Seeing this, I really felt like petting her...

Rosalind laughed for some time when she saw her behaviour. Finally recovering herself, she beckoned for us to enter the room and choose our beds on the right side of the room to place our belongings. 

The room had a total of four beds, two on each side with one on top and one at the bottom. I chose the top bed because it would be more fun on top while Urea chose the bottom one. There was a window at the center of the room draped by orange curtains. Between the beds, there was a table large enough for 4 to be used while studying.

I quickly unpacked my belongings which are not much. Just two sets of clothes for the day and two sets for the night. While unpacking, I thought about the two seniors with whom I would be rooming with together. Their names remind me of the two characters of William Shakespeare's "As You Like It"  in my past life. If she finds out about my thoughts of the possibility that she might crossdress, I wonder what her reaction would be. Although I prefer her not to as it would waste her beauty.

When I finished unpacking, I turned to Rosalind and asked, "Senior, how come you are in the same room as us?"

Understanding my confusion, she said, "Well, it's one of the Academy's policies. The seniors have to take care of the juniors. Since I'm in the most senior year and you are the youngest, we were given the same room."

I nodded in understanding. So the 1st and 6 year will be together, 2nd and 5th together, and 3rd and 4th. This system will allow for the elder student to help the juniors in the Academy while slowly letting those in 4th grade and higher to gain experience by first looking after those wiith only 1 year age gap, then slowly increasing it.

At that moment, my stomach started to growl. An awkward silence pervaded the room between us three as I covered my face in embarrasment.

Thankfully, Rosalind quickly stated, "Shall we go to the cafetaria to have lunch?"

I looked at Urea and we both nodded our head in agreement. Rosalind then guided us towards the cafetaria to have lunch. It was located at the fifth floor between the boys' and girls' dormitories. After getting our food, I noticed Elwin and Dekdras sitting on a table with their food. I was about to head there when I remembered Rosalind was also with us. Therefore, I asked her whether she wanted to have lunch with my friends.

She replied, "Sure, the classes are due to start next week so my friends are not yet back,"

We approached them and I said, "Mind if we sit here?"

Looking up to see it was me, they agreed. After sitting down, I introduced Elwin and Dekdras to Rosalind and vice versa.
