Nix had to look down at his shirt in confusion

\'Does she know I literally borrowed this?\' His eyes darted around them in a panic.

"My shirt? Does it look familiar to you?" He asked with a raised chin, trying to show he was confident.

Lumina stared at him for a while, contemplating her next words.

"Y–"

"Whatever." Nix turned around, not giving her enough attention to listen.

He couldn\'t stay in that same position any longer and risk being the topic of discussion among the other students.

He needed some rest and a comfy bed.

"I hope we don\'t cross paths again, pretty face." Nix waved his hand, before he could realize what had unintentionally slipped out of his mouth.

Lumina had caught on that snippet of words he had used to describe her. Her cheeks were flushed, as she was stunned and fixated to the spot in a daze, watching the distance between them increase with every step he took forward.

"How do I find the dorm?" He muttered to himself.

In a fit to get rid of those he had interacted with, he had totally forgotten one small issue, where the dormitory building was. He had only gotten to hear from the whispers of other students it was in the direction he was taking, but he hadn\'t settled down to get the rest of it.

Where he stood was devoid of any student, the deafening silence made him wonder if he was actually taking the right path.

With his hands shoved into his pocket, he brought out the hexagonal gold medal pass, flipping it out of boredom.

"Huh?!" He looked down at the number engraved on its back.

"69?" He muttered, his brows twitching in frustration.

\'Even the number is mocking me.\' He wiped down his face, his mind had definitely drifted to a different meaning to that.

"Now isn\'t the time for stupid thoughts, Nix." He cautioned himself.

The number glowed brightly. Suddenly he felt a pull towards the direction in the right.

"Woah!" He exclaimed, steadying his footing and tightening his grip on the pass while increasing his pace to match up with the pull he was getting towards that direction.

"Mune, what\'s going on?" He yelled in a hushed whisper.

[It\'s taking you directly to the specified dormitory, this way you can never get lost as long as you have your pass with you] She giggled, hovering above him but moving along with him in tow at his pace.

In a few minutes, the pull stopped.

Phew!

Resting his hands on his knees, he exhaled and inhaled, trying to catch his breath.

Raising his head, he was faced with a metal door. There was no knob. This was a door that only opened from the inside. The only way in or out was via the pass. He wondered if that was the case for all rooms in the building.

The only place was the hexagonal bottom winged dent on the door. Raising his pass, he could only assume that was where he was meant to insert the pass into.

[It\'s the only way] Mune whispered into his ear in a singsong voice.

"Shh!" He hushed, carefully inserting the pass into it.

Rrrhhhh!

The sound made after it had merged with the door, caused him to move back a bit.

Click!

The door slowly opened. The pass had automatically recognized the person it was meant for, only after verifying that it was the right person would it allow access.

Nix walked in.

Surveying his surroundings, he found that the room was simple and functional. There was a bed against the wall on the right, and a desk against the wall on the left.

The window was on the wall opposite of the desk. There was only one chair.

It had the view of the statue and fountain outside.

The door leading to the bathroom was on the right side of the room, it was left ajar.

\'Who is in charge of room service around here?\' He frowned.

There was a pleasant smell of lavender coming from the bathroom. It smelled like a female had been in there. Not that he minded, but the fact that he assumed it was a one person dorm, it was highly unlikely.

A closet was next to the bed. The only thing that was out of place was the bed. It looked as if someone had been sleeping there, but no one was there now. The sheets were rumpled, as if someone had been lying on them but had gotten up abruptly, leaving the bed in such a state.

The blanket was tangled at the foot of the bed, as if it had been pulled off in haste.

There was no other furniture in the room. The space was too small to accommodate anything else. But then again, it was a dorm room. It was meant for sleeping and minimal other activities.

He was a little disappointed. He had been hoping to find a living room or a study room or something.

"Didn\'t you say the academy was funded by the organization?" Nix asked. He approached the bed, his eyes scanning the room for something interesting, or at least something.

[Yes, they concentrate their funds on the school building, the dormitory is just a sleeping space. Luxury isn\'t a priority] Mune replied.

"Those selfish jerks!" He blurted out, his face a picture of frustration. He was regretting asking now. It was obvious that the school didn\'t care about the students, why would they care about the dormitory?

He should have known better. He should have expected it. But the building looked so impressive from the outside. He had been hoping that the school was at least trying to make the students feel like they mattered.

He looked at the bed once again, his face pensive.

[There is another thing you should take note of... uh...] Mune looked to the side, unsure if she should say this next part.

"Just say it." He said, trying to hide the disappointment in his voice. He already had his share of disappointment, what else could go wrong?

Mune looked at him, her optics looking up at him. It seemed like she was trying to gauge his reaction. When she saw that he was still unconvinced, she looked back to the bed.

She took a deep breath, before raising her hand and motioning him closer. He sighed and walked towards her, his footsteps echoing in the small room. He stood in front of her and waited for her to continue.

[This is a dormitory for two] She said in a whisper.
