Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality-Chapter 216 Diamond Academy [3] - Dorms
*Click*
The sound of a low click sounded from the door before Nymira. She hadn't opened the door herself, and instead waited for the door to be opened for her.
She had been knocking on the door for quite a few seconds now and was simply waiting for the people inside to open the door. She was tempted just to use the card that she had been given by the woman who gave her a tour around the parts of the academy she needed to know—everything from the training halls to the special classes she would be attending.
However, she knew she would not attend the same class as the special students. Sure, they might have been talented for their age bracket, but for a toki user, she was much better than even the 5th years in the special classes who were technically 1 to 2 years older than her depending on what age they joined the academy.
At the same time, Silas told her that there was a chance that there might be a few individuals with the strength or talent to challenge her, so in a way, she was excited.
'The academy will probably make me go on many missions to train me into better experience and instincts. I'm sure they think of me as a child and will probably ask me to kill someone. Any warrior should be ready to kill...' Nymira paused when she remembered how she almost died, and Silas had saved her at the very last second.
A certain feeling shone within her eyes for a moment, but when the door finally opened, and the figure of a young girl appeared before her, she suppressed those emotions and smiled at the girl.
"Hello. My name is Nymira, and I believe I am your new roommate." Nymira placed her right hand behind her and her left hand on the right side of her chest before bowing. One would only see this from a warrior, not a distinguished lady.
This action was one of peace and respect. You'd be promoting peace by taking your dominant hand and putting it as far away from your weapon as possible. At the same time, placing your other hand on your chest would show that you are not concealing any weapons.
Of course, such a gesture was only used when a person had a sword connected to their belt. Though, clearly whoever created the gesture clearly did not think about the possibility of someone holding a knife behind their back. It was quite stupid, and Nymira had to hear all about it whenever Silas saw her do it.
Though, she didn't really mind. She enjoyed hearing him rant about random things that would normally seem insignificant to the normal person. It was a part of his character; she didn't mind it.
The same could not be said for Alex.
"Oh? We weren't told about anyone new coming." The girl held her chin before shrugging and standing to the side to welcome Nymira in.
'We?' Nymira's brow twitched with a shred of annoyance.
To think that the academy would make her share a room and put her with several people rather than only one.
When Nymira walked in, she saw two other individuals sitting around. One wore glasses and was the average nerd stereotype... Or at least that's what Silas called them. In her eyes, and in the eyes of most, they were scholars in the making. After all, on Gilea, as a mage, knowledge was quite literally power. The girl had golden hair that was unlike Syra's. Syra was blonde, but her hair did not shine with the same luster as someone with an actual affinity to the light element.
If anything, the girl's hair was closer to that of Diveen's.
Her eyes were golden too, but not completely golden.
Near the middle, they became slightly green before reaching the pupils that were pitch black.
Looking to the side, Nymira saw the girl who had opened the door for her and could not help but compare the two.
The girl who had opened the door for her had long, silky black hair that reached down her her waist. It looked like it was taken care of really well.
Nymira could not help but look down at her own hair and let out a small sigh. She didn't really take care of it. It wasn't because she didn't want to, but it was because she didn't know how.
No one really taught her, and even if they wanted to, there wasn't anyone she was close enough to who could teach her.
Silas taught Alex about simple hygiene and how to take care of himself, but since he wasn't a woman, he didn't really know what to say to her.
Nymira quickly looked back at the girl in front of her with emotions flickering in her eyes and continued analyzing her.
The girl didn't let off any kind of pressure, but that was probably because Nymira was used to being around people with extraordinarily heavy presences.
Nymira's presence detections were a little bit like sugar. Once you get used to having a certain amount of sugar, any less would feel like there wasn't enough.
The same thing was happening right now. Nymira could not tell how strong she was. All she knew was that the girl was significantly weaker than her.
Only when she sniffed the girl, she understood everything about her.
Nymira's eyes quickly drifted around the room before she looked at the last person. They were lying on their bed with their eyes closed. However, Nymira knew they were awake and pretending to sleep from the smell they were giving off.
They had black hair too, but it was much shorter, only reaching their chin in length. The girl lying on the bed was quite muscular too, which neither Nymira nor the girl beside her had despite being toki users.
Yet, Nymira still knew that she was far stronger than all of them combined.
"There are quite a lot of us in just one room." Nymira said aloud.
"You just have to deal with it. You're from a poorer family so it shouldn't be too hard for you to adapt, right?" The black-haired girl said with so much nonchalance that Nymira had to take a second even to understand what was wrong with what she had said.
"I don't think poorer houses are this small," Nymira said with a chuckle, causing the girl with the glasses to look at her scrutinizingly.
"Don't mind Blanka. She's filthy rich and doesn't understand that saying such thing might be offensive." The blonde girl said with a wry sigh. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
When Blanka heard what her friend said, she could not help but widen her eyes before an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.
"Sorry if I offended you," Blanka said while rubbing her silky black hair and looking to the side.
She had a wry blush on her face as she spoke her words, and when Nymira saw that, she could not help but understand what Silas meant when he called her adorable.
"I just thought you might have been poor because you look disheveled and smell like a forest..." Blanka spoke again, causing the blonde-haired girl to sigh while Nymira snickered.
Blanka didn't understand their reaction and looked between them with a flustered expression.
"My name is Alice." The blonde-haired girl pushed up he spectacles and stood up from her bed. She placed a long piece of paper in her book before closing it gently as if she was trying to close a door in the middle of the night.
She then turned toward Nymira and extended her hand toward her.
"Nice to meet you." She smiled while Nymira did the same and shook the girl's hand.
Nymira's gaze shifted to the one lying on her bed with her eyes closed.
She was about to say something, but Alice interrupted her.
"That's Gigi. We call her Gi for short. She sleeps all the time and gets super cranky if you interrupt her sleep." Alice explained with a nod of her head.
"I don't think she's sleeping," Nymira said in a normal tone that the short-haired girl would have easily heard. However, the girl did not react to Nymira's words, as if she didn't even hear them.
"What? Really?" Alice looked toward Gigi; however, she almost found it impossible to believe the girl was not sleeping.
Her breathing patterns with rhythmic in nature, and her entire body looked completely relaxed.
"I'm pretty sure she's meditating. She's controlling Toki while being half unconscious. This is a pretty good technique, and I would use one similar but I don't think it is for me." Nymira sighed while Alice's eyes glistened.
