A new room.
"What are you mumbling about?" Miss Camille asked him.
"Huh? You don't see these texts floating in front of my face?" Leo asked her in a puzzled voice.
Miss Camille frowned, "Are you making fun of me?"
"N-No! Really! Look! It's right here!" Leo pointed at the system screen that followed where his eyes went.
"There's nothing there." She said.
"Impossible… But I can see them clearly…"
"You're obviously so exhausted from training that you're hallucinating. Get some rest. We're done for the day."
"What?! What about magic?! You said that you'd teach me magic!"
"Trying to use magic when you're that exhausted is akin to suicide. I won't allow it. If you want to learn magic, then you should hurry up and improve your stamina so that you will have enough energy to learn magic after training with the sword, which is your priority right now." And without saying anything else, Miss Camille went to unlock the door.
"You know how to get back to the dorm, right? I'll meet you here tomorrow after school. Don't you dare be late again or I will not teach you magic."
After Miss Camille left, I and Leo also started making our way back to our own dorm.
Sometime later.
A crowd was blocking the entrance to the dorm. Maybe they were here for Leo.
Sure enough, when the students noticed Leo, they started alerting the others.
"Leo! It's really Leo!"
"Oh my god! I can't believe it! He's still alive!"
When the students surrounded him, Leo sighed out loud, "Can you all stop acting like today is the last day you'll be able to see me? You'll have plenty of chances to see me in the future. I'm really tired and would like to return to my room."
The students became silent until one of them said, "Your room? It was cleaned out a month after your 'death'. You shouldn't have a room now."
"What? That's not possible." Leo didn't believe the voice and rushed to his room.
He remembered very clearly waking up in his room today.
A few minutes later, Leo arrived before room 1-G.
He started searching for his wallet that had the key to the room.
However, his body was empty, and his wallet was nowhere to be seen.
'Oh shit! I left my wallet in my room today because I was in a rush to leave!' Leo cried inwardly.
"Do you need help opening that door?" Someone there suddenly asked.
Leo turned to look at the person who just spoke and recognized him as the dorm's manager.
"I don't mind opening the door for you, but don't say I didn't warn you."
The form manager proceeded to unlock the door with a spare key.
"What the? This isn't my room!" Leo was baffled by the interior of the room that looked completely different from his original room.
"Your room had been cleaned out because you were thought to be dead." The dorm manager explained it to him.
"I see… If that's the case, are there any available rooms right now that I can use temporarily?"
"Sorry, but this building is already at full capacity. I will ask the other dorm managers to see if they have an available room."
"Thank you." Leo nodded.
Thus, we followed the dorm manager to his office.
After a couple of phone calls, the dorm manager said to him, "There's one room available at the old dorm building. Sorry, but that's all we have right now."
"The old building, huh… Well, it's not like I have a choice." Leo shrugged.
"Once again, I am really sorry about this." The dorm manager lowered his head.
"Don't worry about it. It's not even your fault."
"Thank you. Do you know where the old dorm is located? It's about ten minutes from here."
"Yes, I know."
"The dorm manager there should be waiting for you there. He has short red hair with a sporty face."
"Thanks."
Leo left and made his way to the old dorm room shortly after.
"Hey Oswald?" Leo said while walking.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Can I ask something? Why are you following me?"
"Ah!! I didn't tell you about it did I? My room was somehow destroyed so we will have to share rooms."
"Wait a minute!! I was never told about anything like that!! Also, how can I just live with a girl in the same room?!" Leo was shocked.
"Think of me as a girl again and I will cut of you manhood." I gave him a cold reply.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at the old dorm building.
"Well, this is a surprise." Leo mumbled as he approached the entrance, where a red-haired student in his early twenties could be seen waiting for something or someone.
"Leo!" The red-haired student started waving at him the moment their eyes met.
Leo approached him and greeted, "Hello."
"I'm Hank, the manager of this dorm. Your room is ready. Follow me."
He nodded and followed Hank to his new room.
A couple of minutes later, once they arrived at the door, Hank handed Leo the key to the room and said, "If you have any questions, you can find me in my office after school hours. Oh, even though they cleaned your old room, they haven't thrown away your stuff. I have already sent out an email to the storage guys, so you'll get your stuff back in a few days."
"I understand. Thank you."
"But I must ask... Who is this little girl besides you?"
"Ah! He is Oswald and he is a boy not a girl. His room was also destroyed so he will also have to live here." Leo explained
"Seriously!! A boy?! W- Well then, Okay." Hank replied in a dejected tone.
After entering his new room, Leo looked around the place. The room was quite spacious, but that was due to the lack of furniture and personal stuff.
Besides a dining table, some chairs, and a bed, the room was practically empty.
"I miss my books and tv already…" He sighed out loud.
"Hey Oswald, do you want to bath?" Leo asked as he started to take off his clothes.
"No thanks. You can take a bath first." I replied expressionlessly.
"Hey, don't say that. We both are boys afterall. Or am I wrong?" Leo wrapped his arm around my neck.
Muscles near my mouth started to twitch in anger.
"Ok then, let me show you a real man." I said as I took of my shirt.
Somehow I feel as if I have exactly fallen into the trap just like he wanted me to...
