Chapter 8 - Chapter |||3| strange man

"Griptch, what's going on with that girl?" 

The redhead asked, while she looking at her distant black hair.

  "Don't you feel it?... "

Everyone looked at him strangely.  Which prompted him to ignore the matter, but he noticed the brunette's looks that looked at him..

The woman invited said, Infalla , snapping him out of his confusion,

"Griptch.. What do you feel about that girl?.."

The four waited for his answer, but he said cheerfully:

". Oh, it's nothing, it's just.. . beautiful."  

Infalta raised her eyebrows coldly, not convinced by what he said, but he cut off her doubts with a rebuke,

"Infalta, what happened to causing new problems?!!" 

  She was caught..  She let out a sigh.

"They started saying that they know our secret.. and they also threatened to expose it..."

she said fearfully. Grebitch got angry at her response and continued to scold her.

"Does this warrant beating them? Just tell me and I will deal with it..."

the boy said The quiet one with the glasses.

"It was more fun watching ordinary people get beaten up." 

  Infilta laughed. "I agree with you, Zi.."

"I know you're eager to hit people, but not in public. I won't be there every time and boss you around." 

  ".  It's okay, Gribitch.. Next time we'll hit them  in secret." 

  Gribitch sighed and rubbed his forehead tiredly, "Just keep your educational identity here..."

*******

"Sir, you would better accept my offer..."

I said mustering what patience I had left, but the stupid principal insisted again:

"Miss de Lier."

"..I told you this wouldn't work..."

"Okay then...you are free."

   I said indifferently and prepared to convince him to accept my offer. 

  I offered to pay the entrance fees and then I would work to recoup the money I spent!

But this stupid director refused and forced me to pay and study only because within two days he would stop accepting students.

I told him many times to postpone the stop of admission for a week at most. And of course he refused. And it seems that My patience has run out, and I will resort to the easy way..

I took a few steps, but...

"Mister Savus Lee..."

entered the same quiet man who asked for my name and called the manager's name.   He looked at me and smiled, while I gave him a cold look and said:

"Oh, Miss De Lire... Is there something wrong?"  

I did not answer him, but the director said:

"She is a girl from the East, and she wants to study at the university, but she says that the application fees are high..."

I sighed impatiently, I do not like anyone interfering in my affairs, especially someone with whom I did not feel comfortable.

"The amount is really high, sir."

" Director .. and I accepted the payment, but I will need to work because once I pay the amount, I will be in the bottom..!"

   The man intervened. I think his name was... Gribitch?  

"Miss De Lier, you can pay and you will have a lot of money.."

I said sarcastically. "And will it rain money from the sky?"

He ignored the sarcasm and said politely,

"No, it's very simple.." I said indifferently,

it's definitely not that simple.  

"You can work with me and I will give you the amount you want.."

Really?  

I asked coldly: "What is the job?"

He smiled broadly as if he got the appropriate response.  

"Pay the entrance fee first.."

"Wait, the manager hasn't accepted my work yet and-."  

He interrupted me, "It's okay, Mr. Savus Lee will agree.."

"Mr. Grebitch, this is the law, please do not interfere."

Grebitch's smile widened even more and said in a strange way: "Mr. Savus Lee, I have to intervene now... Will you accept the work?"

.. The director calmed down completely, and after a moment he said,

"Okay, Mr. Gribitch... I agree..."

What or what?!.. How did he agree so easily!..

He looked at the person called Gribitch with a calm smile:

"Okay, Miss De Lier."

"..You can pay now, and you will work with me to gain what you lost." 

  I can't trust this man. I don't know why, and I don't know who he is...

but I know very well that he is suspicious and I should be careful!...

~~~

"Here you are, Miss De Lier... this is your class and room number." 

  The man called Grebitch gave me a small metal object with the number 455 written on it, which seemed to be the room number, and underneath it was another number.  

After paying the tuition fees and registering my name.  He gave me that piece.

  "Come with me now."

He pointed to the door in a tactful manner.

   I walked with him into the university after leaving the principal's office.

   "This is the study building, this is where the rooms are... and here is the library... in which you will work." 

  library? Do I work with it? He noticed my confusion, and he explained, approaching the library door:

"Yes, Miss de Lier, you will work in the library. Arrange the books, remove the dust from them, and... just."  

When we walked in, he simply said, Hey! Why are there so many shelves? At first I thought the work was easy.  

But... with so many books, it will definitely be tiring work!  

He looked at me with a very kind smile, and I don't know what it contained, and said: "You can ask for the amount you want, as well as the duration of the work at your convenience. And... just... yes? What do you say?"  

First of all, I asked him: "Excuse me, sir, but what is your position here?" 

  He closed his mouth thinking, and after a while he answered with his smile that never stopped disappearing.  

"Actually, I am a professor, and this library is under my charge.."

Strange, the director listened to him today. He was suggesting that he at least owns half of the university.  

But he is one of the subordinates? My instinct tells me to kill him. I don't know why!   I don't feel comfortable with him! 

  I just have to be patient and endure it until the end.. I asked him with extreme kindness, which I only use when I'm planning something evil. 

  "First of all, tell me the system here.?"  

He smiled with satisfaction: "Of course, I will tell you the details. First, because you are new, you will attend lectures in the initial classes and you are required to attend lectures until you pass your first year, and after that you can attend whatever classes you want."  

I asked him: "How will I stay here?"  

"In the building over there..."

He pointed to a small building a long way in front of the library door.

"There are rooms for students, and you will stay there in room No. 455, and your attendance will also be starting tomorrow in row 200 in the building... there." 

  He left the library and pointed to a large building that was certainly the university itself.   He continued,

"As for work, you can come to the library after the lectures or whenever you want."

He hummed in understanding, and I entered the library again and walked around a little while he stood watching me. 

  I ended my short tour of the library with a deeper look, and then I stood in front of him.

  "Yes, I agree with this. Thank you for the help." 

I nod slowly, satisfied with my answer. In any case, the work did not seem difficult, and it also seemed useful to me.  

He pressed his index finger on the glasses to put them back. He said cheerfully:

"You're welcome, I'm glad you're doing well. You don't know how many students have refused to help me at work!"

"Why?"

  "Everyone here is lazy! Most of them don't like books and culture.."

I wasn't a fan of books either, but since there is money in the place, it's okay to be obedient! 

  I suddenly feel greedy for money?

   Anyway, I nodded with a nice smile and said,

"I'm happy because I'm the first to work here. The place will help me study, not really."  

And this was true. Grebitch smiled with satisfaction and held out a key:

"This is the key to the library, because it closes at six o'clock, so if you want to come, it will be useful at night." 

  I nodded: "Okay..." and took the key, looked around me carefully, and went out with him to show me to my room.  

Since it's the first day, and the sun is about to set, I will now have to stagnate in the room, which will become my companion for tiring days...

I don't know why I have a feeling that the coming days will be difficult?!   But I will definitely be competent! 

  The whole way I was not concentrating, and the person called Grebitch did not speak, and soon we reached the front of the room without my realizing it. 

  The door seemed normal, but for some reason my heart sank.  I completely ignored this feeling, and prepared to open the door.  

Grebitch said, interrupting my entry:

"You will have roommates... and they are four... so be good in dealing with them and make sure to make friends."

   What interested me in what he said was that there was someone else in the room... and also four people!   I asked in disbelief:

"But why four?... That means I will be the fifth!... The room will surely be crowded." 

  He said quietly: "As you can see, the number of strangers like you is not small and this building is small to contain them, so no more than 4 people should have been placed in each room."  

"I understand, but I have another question... Are the four partners male?"  

He smiled cheerfully and extended his hand towards the handle and said in his calm voice: "You can come in and find out for yourself.."

The door opened slightly, and the person called Grebitch left me without saying anything...

but he stood in the middle of the road as if he remembered something, turned around and said.  

"Oh yes, the lectures will start at seven in the morning. Get ready for tomorrow." 

  he turned again to leave.  

Seven in the morning! For a lazy person like me, this is too early. 

  I sighed in dismay, and returned my attention to the slightly ajar door.   I took a deep breath, trying to push away this completely strange feeling.  

Then she opened the door and entered the room.
