As soon as the two walked down the hallway, Alec suddenly started feeling weak. Davin noticed the sudden change in his aura, so he decided to ask.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little headache from that fight," Alec lied with a smile but Davin wasn't buying that, since he could clearly see in his aura that all wasn't right.
Alec tried to act like all was right but then, the weakness worsened with every step he took.
Taking three more steps he stumbled and was about to fall before Davin caught him in the air.
"Hey, you're not alright. I think we should go see the doctor at this point. I'm sure the military has some healer that will look into you." Davin uttered, pulling Alec back to his feet again.
'Just what the fuck is wrong me?' Alec muttered in confusion. 'But I clearly defeated that boy with only a small claw wound on me, so what now?'
Before Alec could open his mouth to answer Davin, a notification from his system dropped before his eyes.
[You have been affected by a poisonous claw]
[All stats has been reduced by 80%]
[2/10 HP]
[Your hunger grows]
[HP drops by -1 HP every hour]
[You are in a life-threatening condition]
Ding!
[A new quest has been received from the Hybrid System]
[Quest: Survive the life-threatening condition]
[Reward: ????]
As soon as the last notification dropped at Alec's eyes, he passed out in Davin's arms.
Davin was frustrated like hell when he saw that. He predicted something like this would happen after seeing Alec's green colored aura suddenly turn dark.
"What the fuck, Alec? You should have kept up the pace till leave this lonely hallway," Davin inwardly cried in frustration.
Davin, having no other choice, piggybacked Alec out of the hallway.
However, as soon as Davin left the isolated hallway and came out where people were, carrying Alec, a soldier sighted him and so rushed him and took Alec took from his back.
"What the hell happened to him? You guys just arrived today for crying out loud. So It's too early for this!" The soldier barked at Davin in anger.
'Why the hell is he barking at me. Besides, I never forced him to fight,' Davin sighed inwardly.
"I'm leaving with him now. Come to the school clinic to see him if you want," The soldier said before disappearing into thin air the next second.
Davin was about to ask him the way to the clinic but before his already opened mouth could form a word, the soldier disappeared into thin air.
"I guess I will have to find my way to the clinic then," Davin shrugged before going about to ask questions on the way to the clinic,
However, not too long in search of the school clinic, an idea struck his head so instead of continuing on his way, he quickly ran off towards the direction of the girl's dorm.
****
Meanwhile, it took hours before Kim was finally assigned a room since the girl's dormitory assignment was a little more complicated than that of the boys.
However, after several hours of waiting, Kim was finally assigned a room with two other girls.
When Kim got to the room assigned to her, she was a little surprised to see that the silver-haired girl in their group during the test was also in the same room as her.
Well, not like Kim cared about her presence. The first time they met during the test, they had only exchanged greeting glances at each other without exchanging any words, so there was practically nothing between them.
The third girl that completed them in the room was only a level 1 ability user, so was oddly quiet throughout the whole time.
Like Alec's room, the room was pretty empty even after the three girls loaded their stuff in it. The room had three beds and three cupboards in it.
"Hey, you're the girl from the test, right?" Silver asked when she took a closer look at the familiar face of Kim.
Silver was already done arranging her stuff and was now resting on her bed when suddenly she remembered she had yet to formally introduce herself to her roommate.
Kim turned towards Silver when she heard that. She wasn't in the mood to talk nor answer questions so she simply nodded her head and continued what she was doing.
Ignoring how reluctantly Kim answered her question, Silvia pushed forward with her introduction.
"Alright, I'm Silver and you are?" Silver asked for the second time with a smile.
"You can just call me Kim and please, I'm not in the mood to talk right now. So I'd advise you to find someone else." Saying that was all Kim needed to completely shut out the girl that just wanted to get to know her roommates better.
Silver wasn't completely surprised by Kim's reply since she had witnessed a little of her murderous intent when she was angered.
"Oh, Sorry, I just wanted to get to know you better but maybe some other time," Silver said, feeling embarrassed.
Quickly turning her gaze away from Kim to look at her other roommates, she realized how oddly quiet the girl had been the whole time.
Looking at her wristwatch and seeing 1, Silver understood why the girl hasn't talked since they got inside the room.
Silver was thinking maybe the girl was feeling dejected because of her level.
'Is this level thing really that serious that a low level can't interact freely with a higher level? Seems all those stories about it in my place were exaggerated,' Silver thought.
Being the social type who loved and enjoyed getting along with others, Silvia quickly asked the girl.
"Hey, black-haired girl, you don't mind telling me your name, do you?"
On hearing that, the girl immediately snapped out of her thoughts.
"E…Excuse me, are you referring to me?" The girl asked, pointing at herself.
"Yeah. Are you not the only black-haired girl in this room? Now quickly, tell me your name, friend." Silver demanded with a boisterous tone.
The girl swallowed nervously in fear.
"M…My name's Linda." The girl nervously stuttered with a slightly lowered head
Silver forced herself not to break out in a fit of laughter after seeing the look on the girl's face.
"Well, Linda, right?" Silver asked and the girl nodded.
"Very well then, my name's Silver and I'm the nicest person you can get to know. You don't have to act tense when you're around me, just be your normal self and most importantly, have no fear, alright?" Silver stated with a sweet smile on her face.
Linda only nodded without uttering any word. Silver went on to talk more with Linda, asking her several questions about herself.
Soon Linda opened up a little to Silver. At first, she was completely shy and afraid but slowly she seemed to be coming out of his shell as they got to know each other more.
Kim, who had been listening to the conversation between the two girls, felt touched when Linda narrated how she was bullied every day by the high levels at her formal school.
Though Kim was listening to the girl's conversion, she couldn't help but act as though she wasn't paying attention.
Sometime later, a light knock was heard on the door.
"I will go get the door," Silver said since her bed was closest to the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Silver saw the familiar face of one of the boys in their group during the test. Silver wondered who he was looking for.
Seeing the questioning look on Silver's face, Davin was the first to speak. "Is this Kim's room? If yes, then I really wanna see her, it's urgent. Her friend, Alec passed out and was…"
"What?!" Kim's voice was heard inside the room, interrupting Davin.
Quickly rushing to the door, Kim asked almost immediately,
"What the fuck happened to him and where is he now?!"
Kim's once cold and expressionless face had took a complete turn to be the opposite.
"He is currently in the school clinic," Davin replied, surprised at how much Kim was affected by the news. He had thought she would care less about Alec's situation but here she was worried sick.
"Let's go now, show me the way," Kim said as she stepped out of the room, ready to leave.
"Wait! That's the problem, I don't know where the clinic is," Davin nervously said, lowering his head in somewhat fear.
"You useless piece of garba-" Kim started to bark but was interrupted by the meek voice of one coming out from the room.
"Well, if you guys allow me, I can show you the way to the school clinic." Linda suggested with a half smile.
"But Linda, you have barely stay-" Silver started to talk but Kim interrupted almost immediately to avoid wasting any more time.
"If that's the case then lead the way."
Soon after, the whole group was on their way to the school clinic.
