The Black Market Chapter 91 - Roommates

Roan was pleasantly surprised that everything will be free, but the matter regarding the tuition fee was still bugging him greatly. He raised his right hand.

"Yes, Roan Argentos, what is your question?" Santharus glanced at Roan with smiling expression. 

Roan gulped his already dried saliva before he spoke. 

"Professor, what about the tuition fee? Will it also be free?" He was nervous after saying his question, and there was also a hint of expectation on his countenance. 

Santharus smiled even more visibly.

"Tuition will also be free. Regarding the payment that you have made during the entrance examination, just take it as a donation towards the academy." 

Roan smiled and his tears were welling up as he clenched his fist tightly. He was very troubled about his expenses in his school and he was afraid that his family won't be able to support him anymore. Now, after learning that tuition will be free, he was so moved that small globs of liquid began to form in his eyes.

'Good! How could there be such an academy? Most of the schools would suck their students dry and live off of them. But this one is different. Whoever betrays this kind of school can never be called human.'

"Oh, and also you guys will earn points from time to time. And you can use the points you gained to buy items inside the academy. There some things that could not even be found outside the academy, so make sure to earn more points." The students' eyes glowed with excitement.

Some students raised their hands and asked Santharus how they would be able to gain points.

"As to how you will earn points. There are many ways to do so. One of which is by earning good scores during exams. You can also gain points by being ranked among the top students in the academy. One more is to complete missions in the Virtual Training Facility." Santharus answered their question one by one with great detail. 

"Professor, what are the missions?"

Santharus smiled in response.

"About the missions, you will slowly learn what they are."

The cla.s.s continued for another hour, but the students were never bored during that entire time. Instead, all of them had excited looks on their faces.

"Okay that's it for now. I will distribute everyone's keys towards their room. Don't expect much about the rooms, there will be at most four people in one room. But the male and female dorms are separated. The keys with blue highlights will be for the boys and the ones with red highlights will be for the girls." Santharus distributed the keys to all of them.

Roan glanced at the words written on his key. 

"Room 40-A. This should be my room, now where is this located?" 

He walked around the male dormitory and found his room after less than thirty minutes of walking around. The dorm was fairly big and he was almost lost.

"Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Roan did not need to wait for long for someone to open the door for him. It was fat young man with beady eyes. The fatty smiled widely, making it hard for Roan to see his eyes.

"Oh, it might be our last rommate. So he is finally here? That took him so long."

"I can't blame him. The academy is huge and even the dormitory is already like a hotel."

Roan heard voices inside the room which made his quite embarra.s.sed. The fatty gestured him to come inside the room by waving his fat hands.

After going inside, Roan saw two more youths. One of them was frail-looking young man wearing eyegla.s.ses. His eyes were sharp and it glowed with knowledge. The other young man was a buff youth with a bald head. His atmosphere was kind of rough, but the young man didn't look like a poor villager.

"Since all of us are here. We should introduce ourselves now. I'll start the introduction.

My name is Levi Stoklasa, I'm half-Russian and half-German, but we lived in US for many years. I scored perfect during the written examination and about the other two exams, they are pa.s.sable. I'm from the Cla.s.s Section under the guidance of Professor Ken Seijin a peak stage King-Cla.s.s level fighter." He adjusted the rim of his gla.s.ses as he spoke with a calm voice.

"Oh I didn't know you were from the Cla.s.s Section. I thought I was the best here. Anyway, my name Ryuu Barone and I came from Greece. I'm from the B-Cla.s.s Section and Professor Eilhard Gottfried, also a peak stage King-Cla.s.s level fighter is our homeroom adviser. About my scores in the exam, let's not talk about it." He waved both his hands and shook his head, clearly, he didn't want to talk about his scores.

"I guess it's my turn. I'm Zhou Ming from China, but you can call me fatty Zhou as that is how my friends call me. Our mentor is Professor Sima Fenglun, a middle stage King-Cla.s.s level fighter. I am from the F-Cla.s.s Section. About my scores..." Fatty Zhou scratched the back of his head with an embarra.s.sed look while glancing at the newcomer, Roan. He was thinking that this bronze-skinned youth might have a worse score than him.

Roan smiled while glancing at his three roommates.

"h.e.l.lo guys. My name is Roan Argentos, a native here in the Philippines. I'm from the S-Cla.s.s Section under the tutelage of Professor Santharus, an initial stage Emperor-Cla.s.s level fighter. And uhmm, I... I forgot about my scores." Roan was a bit embarra.s.sed as he could no longer recall his scores. 

His three roommates were quite surprised. To think that they have a roommate from the S-Cla.s.s Section. They heard from their professors that the students from the S-Cla.s.s Sectionsl had very high talent in martial arts. 

"Just forget about the scores. You don't need to tell us. Someone from the S-Cla.s.s Section could not never have a low grade. It's a great honor to have a roommate from the best section." The buff Ryuu spoke with a hearty chuckle as he patted Roan's shoulder. His other two roommates also had smiles on their faces.
