After lunch, Mars went back to his dorm to rest.
Xia Zhou, on the other hand, went to the library and found a quiet corner to nap.
He spent the entire afternoon and evening engrossed in reading in the library.
Dinner was a solitary affair, and the walk back to the dorm at night was likewise solitary. It was as if everyone else had vanished, leaving only him and the Elemental Minions that were independently sweeping the floor and cooking food in the castle's main hall and dining room.
He didn't feel lonely, perhaps because he got accustomed to being alone at home in his previous life.
First thing the next morning.
When he reentered the main hall and dining room, it was an entirely different scene.
The new students, already dressed in their uniforms, hurried into the dining room, grabbed plates of bread and jam, and sat down to eat wherever they found a seat.
