Chapter 97: The Unt Fourth Roommate
I comforted Guan Qiuling and began helping her with the enrollnt process.
Along the way, I gained a bit more understanding of her.
For example, she was originally supposed to go to Aphrodite Academy, but halfway there, she was snatched away by that senior sister.
What a pity.
So, in the end, she’s another academic prodigy, isn’t she?
Well, that’s true.
If she wasn’t a prodigy, she probably wouldn’t have been worth kidnapping.
I should understand that.
So, does that an among the boys who beca freshn at Witch Academy, I have the worst grades?
Otherwise, what normal boy would willingly apply to Witch Academy?
They were all kidnapped.
But I have my advantages too, like…
My adaptability is strong, at least stronger than theirs.
Anyway, that’s how Guan Qiuling ended up at Witch Academy.
But that’s not even the worst part.
She said she had planned to arrive at school early.
Even though she was kidnapped, arriving at Witch Academy wasn’t too far off schedule.
So, she had already been at Witch Academy for several days.
As for where she had been staying, it’s obvious without asking.
She was at that senior sister’s villa.
As for what kind of inhumane things she went through there.
I didn’t dare ask, afraid of touching her sore spot.
So, I decided to hurry up and help her complete the enrollnt process.
“Huh? You’re a freshman too, right? How did you manage to implant a Magic Power Source in her?”
The senior sister handling the dorm card looked at curiously.
After all, this kind of thing was usually done by senior sisters with a lot of experience.
Freshn couldn’t possibly do it.
“Another senior sister already did it. I’m just responsible for guiding new students to complete their enrollnt processes. The club has had that volunteer activity going on recently… I got so benefits, so I ca to help,” I explained, forcing an awkward smile for the senior sister.
I got asked the sa thing at the registration desk earlier.
This was so embarrassing.
Anyone could tell I was a freshman too, right?
“Oh, I see. I feel for you. This job isn’t easy. For the dorm card, I’ll register it now.”
“Thanks, senior sister,” I said politely.
But then I thought of sothing and tentatively asked, “Um, senior sister, can her dorm be assigned specifically?”
“Assigned? You want a better one? That’ll cost extra.”
“No, no, I an, can she be assigned with ? I have a regular dorm card too,” I quickly corrected.
“In principle, that’s not allowed.”
“Co on, make an exception, senior sister. Look at her, she’s so small and has such a timid personality. She’d easily get bullied. Instead of letting her face roommates with unknown personalities, it’s better to put her in my dorm so I can look after her,” I said, noticing the senior sister’s hesitation.
I imdiately started acting cute.
If it worked, great.
If not, whatever. It was just a spur-of-the-mont idea.
Who wouldn’t want a group of quirky roommates with interesting stories?
That’d be so cool, right?
“Ugh… fine, just this once! Tell your dorm, and I’ll arrange it,” the senior sister finally relented, unable to resist my cutesy voice and pleading.
“Thank you, senior sister. I'm at Xinng Li, District 2, Number 62,” I said quickly.
“Oh, that place? There are already three people living there. With her, it’ll be exactly four. Based on this year’s enrollnt, a dorm usually gets four or five people at most. No more additions after this,” the senior sister warned after checking.
“Got it, got it… Wait, hold on, my dorm only has two people including !”
I nodded eagerly but soon realized sothing was off.
Since when did my dorm have three people?
Don’t tell ghost stories.
“My system shows three dorm cards have been issued for that room.
If it doesn’t add up, did you report the wrong dorm?”
The senior sister asked curiously.
“No way, it’s definitely Xinng Li,” I said, comparing it with my dorm card.
“You’re right. Then it must be that soone got a dorm card but hasn’t moved into your dorm. That’s pretty common. Maybe you can find them in so senior sister’s villa. Could be that the senior sister guiding her was too enthusiastic and kept her there.”
“Uh, this…”
Why did this sound so familiar?
Wasn’t this exactly Guan Qiuling’s situation?
If I hadn’t co here today, I wouldn’t have known one of my roommates was suffering sowhere unknown.
My poor roommate.
“Um… senior sister, can I get that person’s information? I want to find her.”
“Hm… sorry, probably not. The data can be accessed through the Earth Vein Information Database, but I don’t have that permission. It’s private information, so casually checking it isn’t allowed,” the senior sister said, shaking her head.
“Alright…”
As expected, I couldn’t find out.
But speaking of permissions, didn’t I have so?
That senior sister gave temporary access to find people.
Too bad I didn’t know if I could check through the Academy System.
After all, getting a dorm card didn’t seem to require registering much information.
Maybe it did, but not in the way I’d expect.
“Um, senior sister, when you issue dorm cards here, don’t you register information? Aren’t you worried soone might take multiple cards at once?”
I asked tentatively.
“No worries. The Earth Vein records all that information. I can’t see it, but if soone tries to ga the system, they definitely won’t get a second card. Don’t worry,” she replied.
“Alright… okay…”
The Earth Vein again.
It’s terrifying how it can record such information, even my physical data.
“Um… Sister Xiao Han, are we done?”
At that mont, Guan Qiuling tugged at my sleeve from behind, asking in a soft voice.
“All done!”
Her calling “Sister Xiao Han” made feel absolutely delighted.
I finally understood what it felt like to be called “sister” by a cute little loli in her sweet, soft voice.
It was just too perfect!
“Um, senior sister, we’ll get going. See you next ti.”
I hurriedly said goodbye to the senior sister and left with Guan Qiuling.
“Here’s your dorm card. Keep it safe. From now on, you’ll be living in the sa dorm as .”
“Thank you, Sister… Xiao Han,” Guan Qiuling said, carefully taking the card and thanking .
“Hey, no need to call sister. We’re both freshn. Just call Xiao Han.”
“Mm, um, Sister Xiao Han, can you promise one thing?”
“Uh… tell what it is first. I’m a freshman too, so I might not be able to do anything too difficult.”
Despite my correction, Guan Qiuling didn’t change how she addressed .
But if she wanted to call that, fine.
It sounded nice anyway.
“Um… can you not tell anyone I used to be a boy… I… I…”
“Oh, that? Of course, I can. But there’s no need to hide it so much. One of my roommates in the dorm used to be a boy too, and she doesn’t mind it much.”
I thought of Dongli Yiren.
With her personality, she didn’t hide it from or anyone else.
That haughty attitude and behavior made it hard not to wonder if she used to be a boy.
Telling Guan Qiuling about soone with a similar experience might help them beco friends, right?
“Huh? Really… it’s like that… but… I still want you to keep it a secret, Sister Xiao Han, please…”
A flash of surprise crossed Guan Qiuling’s eyes, but she still didn’t change her mind.
It seed she didn’t want to connect with Dongli Yiren.
Her personality might be soft and timid, but she had her own ideas.
“Alright, it’ll be our little secret then,” I said with a smile, extending my hand.
After all, this world also had the custom of pinky promises, and Guan Qiuling should understand.
“Mm… a secret.”
Guan Qiuling gave a rare genuine smile and hooked her pinky with mine.
