Chapter 244 - New Roommate
With afternoon classes cancelled for the day, Max was able to continue showing Ray around the whole academy. It really was like a city as the Academy had its own set of restaurants and shops based inside.
After Max had finished giving him a tour. He had dropped him off just outside a large square building. It was the dorm room building. Max went off to head inside and before he left he said if Ray needed anything to co and find him.
But honestly, Ray had enough talking to Max. He was starting to miss his companions Jack and Gary who never said much as they travelled. Ray felt like he had already done a month's worth of talking in a single day.
Before entering the dorm rooms, Ray thought back to the question he had asked Max earlier about why Blake had called Van the prince, a freak.
It seed like once again Max started to feel nervous and tried to avoid the question, his answer was, "that's what happens if you ss with Blake and the upperclassn.".
Just by the side of the dorm rooms was a smaller managent office for the dorms. Ray pushed open the double doors and a sweet looking woman was standing behind the desk.
"Oh hello, I don't think I've seen you here before?" She said with a smile. The woman then started to look through a pile of papers she had been given. "Ah here it is, Nes Talen correct? I have been waiting for you. I'm afraid we haven't decided who your roommate will be yet so we are going to have to put you into temporary accommodation for now."
"I don't have a roommate?" Then Ray started to think back again to the information he had received from the Queen.
"Ah, isn't there one room without a roommate, I believe he goes by the Na Van Windboor?" Ray asked.
Windboor was an alias Van was using during his ti at the Academy. When Van joined, he wanted to make sure that no one knew who he was. He wanted to not be treated any differently an enjoy his new life at the academy.
However, as soon as Ray had ntioned that na. The lady behind the desk started to sweat and seed a little nervous.
"That room is… Maybe it's best if you just wait until I sought out a room for you with soone else?"
"I really don't care what room I'm in, so please just put
in with him."
In the end, Ray's persistence had paid off and she handed him a set of Keys. Ray then left the managent office and entered the dorm rooms. Unlike the dorms at Avrion just from walking through the halls, he could tell the level of quality was different.
Instead of wooden floors, the whole flooring was made of marble and there didn't seem to be a speck of dirt anywhere.
After walking around for a while Finally, Ray had found the room he was in. If he could complete the Queen's task as soon as possible and find out why the Prince was an outcast, then Ray would be to complete his other tasks.
Ray had entered the room and it was completely dark inside. The lights hadn't even been turned on. When Ray turned to hit the switch, the room looked empty but it was fairly large for two people. They even had two soft double beds on opposite ends of the room.
That's when Ray noticed that Van was sleeping peacefully in his bed. Ray went to his bed and placed a few of his belongings down. There wasn't much because Ray was able to use his endless Void for these types of things. In Ray's bag was mostly things like food and water.
As soon as Ray placed the bag on the floor though, the noise had awoken Van. In an instant, Van sprung from his bed and tried to grab Ray on the shoulder. Out of instinct Ray grabbed Van by the wrist and twisted it causing Van to go on one Knee.
"What do you think you're doing?" Ray asked.
Van just continued to scorn at Ray, and as soon as Ray let go, he went back to his bed to continue sleeping.
"Is there sothing wrong with this kid." Ray thought.

It was now night ti and most of the students were asleep in their dorm rooms. But sowhere on the academy floor grounds, a hooded man was standing outside looking around for soone. The man was consistently fidgeting afraid that he might be seen.
Then the man heard a deep dark voice from behind.
"Professor, I am here." The deep voice said.
As the professor turned around, he could see another human-shaped figure in a black cloak. However, when the professor looked at the man's face nothing could be seen but shadows. The person the professor was talking to was a true infected from the shadow plague."
"You know the more you try to contact
in the academy, the more likely we are to get caught."
"That is not a problem of mine but a problem of yours." The infected said. "It is ti to act, we have been ordered to sabotage the academy from within to weaken the power of Alure kingdom and in turn weaken the power of the Divine being."
"Unfortunately, I have still yet to locate the Divine being, otherwise we could rid the thing right now."
"I thought you said you would find it soon!?" The infected said in an angered voice.
"Yes, but the academy even keeps secrets from the teachers like , it was an unexpected outco. Please I just need more ti." The professor begged.
"Fine you can have more ti but know this, the shadow will not be patient any longer. Soon we will act weather you are still apart of this academy or not."
The shadow man then disappeared with his final words lingering in the professor's head.
