Chapter 76 - Diana's new Roommate
76 Chapter 76 - Diana's new Roommate
Zeph's POV
"Phew, finally arrived," I exhaled softly.
My gaze was fixed on the door as I stood in front of my new dorm room designed for two people.
After class had ended, my top priority was to head straight to my room because I needed to welcome my new roommate with a grand gesture.
So, my new roommate, Diana, also known as Danny, has a truly unique situation. Her facade as a boy led her to avoid interaction with girls, and her true identity as a girl had the same effect on boys, leaving her terribly lonely. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
For people who lacked contact with the opposite gender, falling for someone was much easier.
From my perspective, heroines could be ranked in terms of difficulty, starting with Alisia, then Valeriana, Thalia, and finally Diana.
It may sound easy to conquer them, but it was far from simple.
They are heroines for a reason. For example, would Thalia have fallen for me if I hadn't sacrificed my body to save her from that black dragon?
The answer was a resounding no.
To make a heroine genuinely fall for me, I had to go through hellish trials, including facing a dragon's breath that nearly cost me my life.
It may seem easy, but for me, who experienced that foul breath, it was a nightmare.
Back then, saving her might have been a whim or some lingering sense of goodwill, much like how I used to help an old lady cross the street even if she didn't want to.
But for saving her, I don't regret a bit, because having Thalia deeply in love with me was beyond amazing due to her invaluable intuition.
However, after noticing her behavior today, I guess I needed to bring her mind and body in harmony with mine.
Otherwise, she might turn into a yandere, and I don't want to kill her after going through such a hassel just to save her, as nothing can replace my dear Thalia.
So here I stood in front of my new room, gasping for breath because I couldn't use my mana, all because of a particular heroine who also considered herself a discipline committee member.
Of course, there is no such thing, but she just made it up. Professors didn't care about such things, and neither did Professor Adriannel, but forget that.
She would have surely sensed my mana usage while I was in a hurry to reach my room, and based on her personality, I would have become one of her potential targets.
But it's alright. First, I had to deal with this problem, and then I would gradually work on all of them. The moment I could win over Valeriana, the others would become mere stepping stones toward my goals.
After that, I will deal with that self-proclaimed discipline committee.
I entered the room and began undressing, tossing all my clothes on the ground because I needed to prepare for a welcoming ceremony, right?
I moved toward the bathroom to take a shower because welcoming anyone without bathing wouldn't be proper for a gentleman.
I did anticipate needing some force with her to tame her.
' Hope you will like my surprise, Miss Diana '
Diana's POV
As I made my way to the new classroom, the old man's words echoed in my mind, [Be aware, that boy seemed to have got another artifact ]
The news of him acquiring yet another artifact only fueled my determination.
While I had been struggling with my curse, unable to harness mana after years of study, I was resolved to speak to Zephyr Liander.
Even if it meant begging for an artifact, I couldn't bear the suffering any longer.
All these years spent grappling with my condition had worn me down, pushing me to the limits of my patience.
My progress had stalled, and this frail human body was far from crossing the thresholds I desired.
Stepping into the classroom, I immediately spotted Zephyr Liander seated at the front of the row, with Thalia, his constant companion.
What surprised me was Valeriana Hedrian sitting beside him. I could think of only one reason for her proximity—his rank.
It was no secret that Valeriana had worked tirelessly to achieve the top position, and even I was convinced of her capabilities.
I would have held that rank too if not for the practical exams where I had faltered in every aspect.
In this academy, I had realized that without mana, I was powerless. Despite the professors' efforts to fortify my mortal physique, I remained vulnerable, unable to withstand the attacks of mana users.
If Valeriana could humble herself to uncover his secrets, then why couldn't I? It was time I took action.
Determined, I moved towards his seat and settled next to Thalia, who appeared somewhat uncomfortable but soon adjusted. I could tell that she didn't mind my presence.
As the classes began, I was eager to learn and grow. My resolve had never been stronger, and I was ready to seize the opportunities before me.
Later, as I searched for my newly assigned dorm room, I couldn't help but wonder what awaited me this year, sharing a room with another student.
I hoped for a considerate roommate who would keep the room tidy.
Finally locating my room, I glanced at the number before using my key to unlock the door. Stepping inside, I was met with a sight of chaos.
Clothes were strewn all over the floor, belonging to my roommate, who apparently had no concept of organization.
Resigned to the task at hand, I began to collect the scattered clothing, intending to put them in a basket by the bathroom door. But as I stood with the pile of clothes in my hands, I was caught off guard.
The bathroom door creaked open.
My eyes widened in surprise as I stammered, "W-what?"
My heart raced at the sight that met my eyes. "W-why are you n-naked!?"
"N-no, Don't come closer"
Suddenly he sprinted towards me while his thing was completely visible, ' Please someone Save me!!!! '
