Chapter 3

It wasn't long before Jeriah was already heading out to the magic academy, were to his knowledge, he would be tought all the necessary skills he would need for his class, and for whatever general fields of work and or study he would follow.

He didn't know what to expect when he got there, but he knew it would most likely have a drastic effect on his future.

'Not that my, or anyone else's futures matter anyway.' were Jeriahs' now regular, but to most grim thoughts.

It took several hours by carriage to get to the academey, the capital being the giant city it was, was fairly busy this time of day. The ride to the academy was nothing if not smooth, which in itself spoke wonders about how well built the road was. It also was a good example of how well Agartha was doing as a country, not just how well it's capitol was doing.

Jeriah stepped out of the carriage to see a relatively large building, even by capitol standards. It looked to be the first of several different buildings on the campus. 

After grabbing the suitcase filled with clothes the king had bought him, Jeriah gave a grunt of goodbye to the carriage driver then started walking to the gates of the academy. Before he could push them open they opened on their own. Jeriah decided that he didn't really care about what infernal contraption the academy had to open the gate for him.

A few seconds after walking into the gate, Jeriah was greeted by a very happy and excited looking woman in a blazer and pantsuit holding a clipboard. He had already assumed she was some kind of fairly important staff member.

"Hello, you must be Jeriah, the boy the king sent here. We've been informed of your special circumstances and I on the behalf of the academy, am very sorry for your loss. Well since I already know who you are, I'm the headmaster here at the academy, I don't normally greet new students in person, but i've been informed you already have a class and are fairly strong. With that over with, i'd like you to follow me to your dorm."

Jeriah, stood there for a moment baffled by how anyone could ever be this outwardly happy, even during his happiest times in the village, he never acted like the human shaped ball of positivity that was the headmaster. On several levels its disgusted and confused him.

None the less, Jeriah recovered from the initial wave of elation, hers that is, and followed her. After walking into the building and from the entrance hall, they took several hallways until the ever beaming headmaster stopped in front of room 420B.

"Oh, here are the rules," she said before handing Jeriah a pocket sized book that said 'Rules of Adventurer Academy' on the front, "this is your room, and everyone has a roomate. Ooooh one more thing, all the rooms are co-ed so your roomate could be either gender, or maybe neither gender depending on race, and be warned sexual activities are strictly prohibited regardless of what race or gender you or they are."

She then handed him a key and promptly left. Jeriah used the aformentioned key to open his room, fully expecting to find his roomate already in the room, probably doing something ridiculous and or annoying.

What Jeriah saw instead was two empty beds on opposite sides of the room a desk and a end table on either side of both beds. A single bathroom was in the middle of the room and obviously had a door, logical reasoning pointed towards the door being for privacy reasons, but it was currently open. mainly because no-one was in it.

Jeriah quickly realized that nobody else was staying in the room, and that was just fine with him, he didn't really feel like spending any more time with anyone than he needed too. He knew he'd probably just spend his time brooding than talking anyway. Jeriah then spent the rest of the day putting his things away on his side of the room, which just so happened to be the right side. As well as getting his schedule from the front desk in the entrance hall. He saw several students in the halls, but chose to not interact with them.

When he got back to his room, Jeriah decided to check out the bathroom. It had a shower/bath that had a hot and cold water function, a toilet of course, and a sink above a cabinet with some cleaning supplies in it.

Out of boredom and a want to be clean, Jeriah took a shower, he may not be meeting or talking to people, but that didn't mean he didn't want to make a good impression in case he did meet someone tommorow.

Jeriah had just gotten out of the shower wearing a towel that was in the bathroom, and was at his dresser getting some underwear to sleep in, when someone knocked on the door, Jeriah supposed that this would be his new roomate and went to answer it. 

Jeriah opened the door to a girl perhaps a year or so younger than him, with light green hair and deep aqua colored eyes, and somewhere between tan and light olive colored skin.

" Hello, my name is Minari and i'm new to the academy, it's nice to meet you." she then stuck out a hand, and expecting whoever was inside to shake it, finally looked at the person himself. This was the moment she realized she was standing in front of a both near naked and hot boy. It took her a moment of shifting her vision between his handsome and noble looking face, and his well sculpted and muscled body to come to her senses and politely look away. The scars that littered his body still fresh on her flustered mind.

Jeriah didn't really care that he was wearing a towel and only a towel, and shook Minari's hand. He then made space for her to get into the room and when she shyly walked in while still looking away he introduced himself.

" Hello Minari, I'm Jeriah I'm also fairly new here. Just got here this morning actually. I've already got the right side of the room, so you get the left. Need anything else just say something, I'm putting on some underwear and going to sleep."

Minari could only stand there more than a little confused about how she ended up with such a shameless roomate.

 She allowed herself a small smile, one that spoke of desire and plotting. She hadn't expected to be put in a room with such a handsome boy, no he was a man judging the rather large protrusion that still taunted her from inside the towel. She was better looking than most girls, but she knew she wasn't as gorgeous as he was by miles, she didn't know how she would do it, but he would be hers.
