Chapter 7 - Union

Did I overdo it?

I look at my own hand.

I'm...trembling?

"Hey! Did anyone got hurt?"

The teacher speaks up.

Ah.

That's right.

I almost did it again.

I've...almost...hurt...another...person....

---------------------------------------------

We rush ourselves to the other arena.

I can see a lot of people gathering at a place.

Looking around, I saw a giant crack on the wall near there.

Did someone do that?!

"Hey! He's collasped!"

"Someone! Bring him to the infirmary! Quick!"

I attempted to go through the crowd, but unable too.

Seriously, what'd happened?

I try asking one of the teacher nearby.

Apparently one of the students used a high-ranking magic, which is the cause of the giant crack, and have just collasped may due to mana deficiency.

I look to my side and see the students are carrying the fainted one to somewhere.

Oi.

Isn't that the guy that helped me this morning?!

*clap* *clap*

"Right~ Right~ There's nothing to see here anymore. Everyone please assemble here as I'll now give out the key to your dormitory's room. Please remember that there are two separate dormitory for the boys and girls. The number of your room will be on the tag that's attached to your keys, so be sure to pay attention to them." One of the teachers speaks up.

So we have our own room here?

That's really convienient because I really want to undress right now...

Hey! Don't get the wrong idea!

Wearing this uniform is making me all sweaty, that's all!

When it's my turn to get the keys, she suddenly looks at me with a speculative eye.

...Don't tell me, she's seen through my disguise?

-----------------------------------------------------------

Mother?!

Please! Wake up!

"It's the son of the demon!"

"Get out of here!"

Please...

I need you...

"You FILTHY DEMON!" A man's voice enters my ears.

I turn around.

The man is raising his sword at me.

Ah...

It was you isn't it...

...no...

It was all of you...

...No!

Pay for what you have done with your life.

STOOOP!!!!!

------------

".....OOOP!!!..."

Huh...?

A...dream...?

How many years have it been since I last saw it?

I take a look around me.

I'm currently inside of a room.

Seems that I collasped and was put into the infirmary.

"Ah! You've awaken."

A voice?

I look to see a woman in front of me.

She has silky pearl-white hair, unlike mine which is a pinkish white.

"How long have I been out for...?"

My headache is killing me.

"Erm...About 10 minutes or so, I guess?"

"...Is that so?"

I get out of the bed, reach out for my bag and slowly make my way to the exit.

"...Here."

I turn around just as she says that, and a key with a tag attached to it fall into my hands.

"This is...?"

"Your dorm room's key. Everyone has gotten theirs."

"...Thanks."

I bow to her.

"Where is the dorm located?"

------------------------------------------------

I thought for a sec that she's seen through my disguise, but she just gave me the key as usual.

Seems like I'll be staying in the male dorm.

Well, considering my appearance right now, I guess everyone just think I am a guy.

After the teacher's done distributing the keys, she seems to be heading off to somewhere

I've a bad feeling about this...

Whoa.

Isn't this room a bit too big for one person?

I'm currently standing inside the spacious room.

And why is there a bunk bed?

Putting that aside, this clothes is really making me uncomfortable.

I proceed to undress, not before locking the door.

But just as I'm in the middle of it...

The door unlocks.

Hey, what does this mean?!

------------------------------------------------

So this is my room?

I'm now standing in front of the room.

The number of the room is 103, which match with the number imprinted on the tag.

I unlock the door and as I go in...

A familiar figure stands before me.

Oi!

"Hey! You are...!"

"KYAAAAHHH!!!"

And then I get hit in the face.

Why do I always get this kind of treatment...

-----------------------------------------------

Why...

WHY IS HE THE SAME ROOM WITH ME??

Also I've not heard anything about sharing a room with another person!?!!

I was in the middle of undressing and then suddenly he just went in.

But he didn't even react when he saw my body!

His reaction wasn't that of embarrassment, but of surprise when seeing someone familiar.

I quickly close the door, hurryingly put on the clothes before opening the door again.

He has just gotten up from the punch.

"So, why are you here?"

He looks at me with an annoyed face.

Uee... I've said sorry...stop looking at me with those eyes please...

"...I followed you here..."

"You FOLLOWED me here?!"

"Urk!"

He exhales, pinching his nose.

"I've somehow predicted this... And where did you get that uniform, a male one too?"

"Aiya..."

I really can't answer him this.

I can't tell him I stole it from another student.

"...You didn't..."

"Hyah!"

Wait, did he know?!

"Hah...I'm not gonna ask...but please...do NOT let anyone know about you being a demon. If someone somehow know about this, it will be the end for both of us."

I know.

The humans aren't fond of the demons after the end of the Floral War.

But that's why I'm here. To fix my father's errors.

"Also, please put on your clothes properly, I can see your underwear."

What?!

I look at myself and see what he was talking about, and when I look around, he's left.

Eh.

EHHHH?!

My face reddens by seconds.

I don't understand him!

I don't understand him at all!!!!
