''To think I would spend a whooping 2000 credits on an apartment'' Lucas stood in front of the regular looking exterior of the story building and sighed. The building, which gave off a gothic yet modern feel was painted white in color and was the closest to the awakening center of Oslon City Academy. ''At least it will be worth it... The main reason why I chose this building is because it is the closest to the awakening center. Owing to this, I won't have to spend hours trekking to the awakening center everyday'' Lucas comforted himself to calm down his hurting heart due to the amount of student credits he spent to secure an apartment in this building.
Walking into the elevator, he pressed the button and conditioned the elevator to drop him at the third floor. A few minutes later, he stood before the door of his apartment...''Let's see... errrm ... room 34... yep... this is it'' Lucas decided to head inside when a beep sound was made from the direction of the door. A blue holographic screen appeared before him and a monotone robotic voice sounded in his ear [please open your eyes and turn to the screen before you to register iris recognition security system, owner Lucas Grimstone]. The iris recognition security system registered his iris as the sole medium for entering the apartment. [Beep, iris recognition security system has confirmed the iris of the owner Lucas Grimstone as the sole key system for accessing Day hill apartment of Oslon City Academy, room 34...Welcome home, sir]
The door to the apartment opened, granting Lucas access to it's interior. ''As expected of an apartment that costs such a large amount of student credits''. Lucas was honestly marveled at the quality of the apartment's interior. He sat on a couch and relished in the pleasure of it's softness. The ground was made of transparent glass, yet it was sturdy enough to ensure that even the unnatural physical exertion of the feet of a hunter would not be enough to make it flinch in it's density and quality.
''Can I get you something sir?'' The female humanoid artificial intelligence dressed in a female business suit asked.
''What is your name?'' Lucas asked the AI in curiosity.
''I am what you choose to call me sir'' The AI responded in strict professionalism
''Then you are called Anna'' Lucas responded the AI as he awaited a response.
''Thank you sir... Can I get you something sir?... Or is there anything I can do for you?'' Anna politely replied
''Not at the moment, but prepare a meal for me'' Lucas responded.
''I will get right to it then sir'' Anna quickly left to the kitchen, leaving Lucas by himself.
''Paying the 2000 student credits really is worth it... the services of this apartment is really worth it... I do not even have to worry about food stuffs, as all that has been secured in the cost of the apartment. The AI of the apartment naturally orders various food stuffs from various places to meet the requirements of the resident... Compared to that previous hellhole, this place is heaven'' Lucas stood up and headed to the bedroom.
It was almost as large as the living room and contained a large, comfy bed. Somewhere in the bedroom was the washroom that was quite decent and hygienic enough to suit one's preferences.
+++++
After taking a shower, Lucas changed into a large T-shirt and a brown trouser. He opened the glass windows of the bedroom and allowed the cool breeze of fresh air into the room. The night glow of the moon fell on the transparent glass room floor, adding a more refreshing feel to the autumn breeze that softly encumbered the room.
Lucas fell unto the bed, tired from exhaustion. But he realized the pangs of hunger still haunted him. Hesitating and struggling to get out of bed, he finally managed to voyage his way to the living room. A few minutes later, Anna appeared with his evening meal.
Appreciating the delicacy with his enhanced taste buds as a hunter as he squeezed it into his gastrointestinal tract, he decided to check the student website of the Oslon City Academy as he had heard rumors earlier about his skirmish with the fatso having been uploaded on the website
Pfffftttt.... Lucas almost expelled out a mouthful of delicious food, as he stared at the caption of the video ''Shocking news, the already trending Lucas Grimstone, confirmed to have awakened for the first time in history ever after crossing the age of ten, demonstrates his prowess at the campus cafeteria for the third year students... Don't scroll down without watching the video of the renowned jewel crusher''
''Damnation! ?... How did I turn into the Jewel crusher . So much for my reputation... As expected of me, the protagonist, your usual calamity magnet...and about 1 million views???... just today?'' Lucas self berated and sighed as he proceeded to watch the video. It practically showed the event at the cafeteria with the Fatso, from when the guy instigated the incident to it's end.
''Let's see the comments then'' Lucas scrolled through the comments, he shook his head dramatically from time to time, berated, laughed and sighed...consistently..
Some of the comments were as follows..
''He actually destroyed the other guy's sacred jewels... hahahah... This guy is out of it.. reallh out of it.. to think the academy had such an interesting guy ''
''This guy was shameless enough to tell the other guy to lick his own t-shirt for it to become colorless... hehehehe... what a shameless guy... pretty shameless''
'' Serves that fatso right. He has bullied me in the past before... he is not even an awakened ,yet because of his family background, he does all sorts of nonsensical stuff on campus and mostly gets away with it... a good thing someone finally stood up to him''
''I think the tall, emaciated dude is in for a hell of trouble though, he should have used his head more.. There is no point messing with someone from a strong background just because you are an awakened... He is a green horn with no head, a muscle head who chooses brawns over brains''
''Yeah, he sure is in for a hell lot of trouble... and he is so skinny... damn''
''You hypocrytes!!... try enduring consistent bullying for at least 2 weeks, and then see how helpless that will make you feel! "
''Yeah, who would not stand up for themselves after enduring so much humiliation for a long time when they finally have the power to do so?''
++++
''As expected of me, the protagonist, stirring up waves every where I go...'' Lucas closed the holographic screen of his ID slot then headed to the bedroom to get some sleep after telling Anna to get rid of the aftermath of his meal.
