Chapter 44: The dorm
As if everyone was searching for their names on the lists of the classes, Ed immediately checked his name in the E class list and found it there. He also waited for Emilia and Hayato to check their names and coincidently they were also in E class.
'It seems like I'll be making my own End class, how fitting!' Ed remembered a certain anime he had enjoyed where the dropouts of the school were placed in E class and found it fitting that he joined it as well. While most people who found their names went to the back of the class to make some room for others, some didn't accept their designated class.
"Why am I in E class as well?! I was first in the physical test!" It was the beast woman and she seemed mad about her placement.
"You also placed last in the magic test which automatically places you in E class" The general explained to her why she was placed in E class. After hearing his explanation she could do nothing but grind her teeth and go to the back of the class.
Ed checked every name in the classes and found that the king's daughter was in A class along with Norris Aragon. 'She probably got special treatment for being the king's daughter. That or she is powerful enough to be admitted without a test' Ed was guessing the reason behind the placement of the king's daughter.
Soon enough everyone had confirmed their placement and went to the back. Seeing this the king stood up and his daughter joined the group this time as well.
"Well then, now that everything is sorted out it's time to explain some things" The king cleared his throat and continued. "First of all, classes are not obligatory however exams are. There will be an exam every 2 months. If you achieve enough points in your exams and surpass someone from the classes above yours it is possible to replace them."
Hearing this, some people were overjoyed while others looked unhappy. The king had just told them that it is possible for them to have an upgrade or a demotion depending on their performance so everyone had to work hard to maintain their good position, or to improve their current one.
"Secondly, you can leave academy grounds to hunt in the surrounding areas if you want.
However, you would have to guarantee your own safety as no one from the school board would accompany you" This was one of the questions that Ed had wanted to ask but was now answered. This meant that Ed wouldn't have to sneak around to kill monsters for exp.
"Thirdly, you can go back to the capital anytime you want during the day. However, if you do not come back before sundown you'll have to wait until the next day" This was the other question that Ed wanted answers for. Ed wanted to check the capital auction that he heard usually sells cockatrice meat. He also wanted to check on Eri and the other orphans every once in a while.
"Lastly, the training room in your dorm rooms are soundproof and don't allow for QI to leak outside so you can train and cultivate without having to worry about anything." Everyone was relieved to hear this, they won't have to worry about complains when training from their neighbors.
"Oh, I forgot! You will have to pay a tuition fee of 5000 gold coins. The academy is new and needs funding to keep improving!" The king left the room while laughing and leaving everyone dumbfounded. He had chosen his time well so no one would ask him any questions.
People didn't stay either; they went to the administration to get their dorm keys according to the general's orders. Ed had the room number 29; Emilia had room 57 and Hayato room 32. Both male and female dorms had 100 rooms, which seemed like they were preparing for increasing the number of students next year.
After getting the keys Ed and his friends chatted for a while until it was sundown. Ed offered for them to eat together and brought out some sandwiches again. These were different from this morning since they had minced meat and vegetables compared to chicken and lettuce.
The two were now already familiar with Ed so they didn't refuse and just ate. His cooking was also delicious so they couldn't complain anyway.
After finishing, everyone headed to their rooms. Tomorrow was the first day of school and they still had no idea what they would be studying so they wanted to rest early.
Ed got into his room and locked it. Suika who was him jumped around to explore. "Raikou you can come out now" After confirming no one was around, Ed allowed Raikou to come outside. "It's been hard on you" Ed patted Raikou on the head since he was trapped in his shadow for the whole day.
"Woof" However Raikou didn't seem to mind anyway.
Ed went to his bedroom and checked it out. He had a bed, a desk, and a closet. He took out some of his clothes and put them there since it would look unnatural without clothes. He also slept on the bed and he didn't have any complaints about it. He had spent a long time camping outside so he was used to bad sleeping.
Ed also set up the tent for Raikou so he wouldn't sleep on the floor. 'I'll have to buy him a big bed next time I visit the capital.
Ed also checked the kitchen and bath and didn't have any complaints. The bath was as big as the one in Alice's inn so it could hold all three of them without any issues. Ed filled it up and called Suika and Raikou to take a bath.
After coming out of the bath, the three relaxed and Ed cooked a simple steak dinner for them. Being full and clean they headed to sleep but Ed had one last thing to do.
"System, use the 10 Gacha tickets!"
