Chapter 57: An Annoying Neighbor
(Noah's POV)
Hero's Nurturing High School
That's the name of the academy I am attending. It's spread across 2,500 acres.
"Here, it's done." The man gave me the keys to my room.
The number, Z-10-10-10, is engraved on it.
It meant the 10th building of the Z block, floor 10th, room no.10.
There are 26 blocks with various buildings in each block. Blocks Y and Z are dormitories for the new students, along with various student-related buildings like laundry, salons, convenience stores, and various kinds of things.
Every block has 10 buildings with 10 floors, consisting of 10 rooms. In other words, a total of 2000 students have entered this school, this year, or should I say, 2000 students enter this school every year.
And yes, I have got the last room of the last building of the last block.
For your information, the dormitories are co-ed.
Yes, girls and boys don't have separate dormitories.
I just hope my neighbors won't be loud or else I will start playing songs, some stash of songs I have, at full volume, don't ask what they are. They shall be revealed when the time comes.
Alright, one needs to understand that even though this academy is named Hero's Nurturing High School it's not only about training heroes, there are various other students too, students who want to become engineers, students who want to be doctors, those who are in the field of research and many more.
And all of these students are in different blocks.
Yes, this school doesn't separate students based on gender but based on the career path one takes.
Well, here we are
Standing in front of the door, I put the key into the keyhole and twisted the knob, unlocking the door of my room.
For a futuristic world, I don't know why they didn't decide to use some biometric scan to enter the room but meh, who am I to judge?
This room is going to be my new home for the next 3 years until I find a way back home. It was spacious enough, I mean for the love of god, this floor has only 10 rooms on it. Of course, there's going to be enough space.
There's a kitchen, a refrigerator, an air conditioner, a wardrobe, and a study desk, a bed, a bathroom, a washroom. What else could I ask for?
You know what? Let's just live our life to the fullest for the next 3 years and die when the second plot arrives.
Doesn't sound bad, not at all.
Why do all the hard work?
What's the point?
Once the peace returns it's not like I will be free, I will get stuck as a cog into the machinery called society, and if I go back home, welp, all this hard work and flashy magic stuff for what? Back to learning how it's impossible to do magic?
Sounds like a pain.
Let's just enjoy while we can and then, die.
What's wrong with it?
...
Exhaling a deep sigh, I shook my head.
Sometimes, I feel like a dumbass. I can't die! I can't allow myself to die! I need to go back home, to find the answers to the cliffhangers of manga and anime I have been left on!
I am a man on a mission!
Okay, today's cringe quota is filled.
Now what? I thought while I started to unpack my bag.
My current attire was simple, a black colored hoodie along with black colored sports pants, I was wearing a marine colored necklace, which is actually a protection artifact in case things go south and I have a bracelet, a dimensional bracelet with a lot of things stored in it.
And yes, I have been using my trolley bag despite having this dimensional bracelet.
What? I want to have a complete feel like I would get in my own world.
Getting a place of my own to live in, away from my parents, I entered college a bit too fast, my intelligence is to blame it all...
Sheesh, I really need to stop with all this bullshit.
It's time to unpack stuff and arrange it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Phew"
I heaved out a sigh, even though I am an E+ ranker. For the love of all that is holy, why do I feel like I exhausted myself more than when I used to train with Enyo, Sofia, or Greg?
They were all monsters in their own way but unpacking and arranging everything in the room seems to be a bit more exhausting.
Well, I guess, unpacking is not a fun thing to do.
Now then, let's do some ego surfing~
I thought as I searched for my penname on the internet.
Did you all forget? I have left novels, novels with automatic publishing timers on them. And now it's time to see their popularity. Well, considering how my bank activities have been, I already know what picture to expect.
'It's overhyped, I am telling y'all. There's nothing special about it. I have read it till the end. You guys are hyping it a lot for no reason. It's okay, at best.'
A wrong fucker crawled out of a tunnel, it seems...
I thought as I saw the negative comment on my novel.
Well, anyway he is getting bashed online by my other readers, so that's great.
It's not like I am earning a huge amount from it but enough to live comfortably every day without having to worry about anything which when included with the fact that this school is going to be looking after all my expenses makes me quite loaded.
Not only that... I brought around 500 Elixirs from Enyo's world. Yes, 500 Elixirs, basically I move around with 500 billion with me.
Ah, yes.
Who doesn't like being rich?
In this world, there are only 1,000 Elixirs manufacturing every month and they get sold off just as fast even with their high prices, I was kind of lucky to have gotten my hands on it when I did.
..
After surfing through the internet a bit more, I decided to give it a rest and make my way towards the burger shop.
Burger and cola, what more do you need to be alive?
Nothing.
It's as simple as that.
Ring~
Hm? Who is it?
...I don't even know a single person in this school.
Why is someone ringing my doorbell?
Must have gotten the wrong room.
Ring~
...
I guess I am leaving so I will see whoever it is on my way out.
Closing off the lights of my room, I started walking towards my door, to go and buy my burger.
Upon reaching the door, I slowly opened it and a girl on the front of the door revealed herself, smiling.
Ah, yes.
Now, is she gonna be like 'Hi! We all are new here, so let's get along well!' or something like that.
Basically, it's an annoying neighbor cliche.
Please, I don't need any of that.
"...You are smoking hot" After staring at me for a while, those were her first words.
"...Thank you?"
What else am I supposed to with?
This was weird.
And so, silence settled down between both of us.
"So, you are the new guy, huh?" She said, not showing a single sign of being flustered. Guess, that's beastfolk for ya. They do really be saying whatever comes to their mind.
"Yeah. And you are?" I asked, wanting to go and buy my burger and cola.
"I am a money collector! You see, if you want your life to be without any troubles and filled with peaceful days then you will have to pay 50,000 E! If you refuse to do so, then well, your life just won't be peaceful." She said in a cheery tone.
I stand corrected.
An annoying neighbor cliche.
Well, I knew this was gonna happen.
The girl in front of me is none other than one of the members of the main cast and... a bully at that.
Sigh~
Whatever.
"Here ma'am, I want to take the subscription of the peaceful life."
I said taking the phone out of my pocket, ready to transfer the money.
"Eh?" She let out a weird sound and then looked at my hand which had my phone and then my face, then my phone, and then my face, and then "Uh-hm... here!" She pulled out her own phone, opening the QR for the money transfer.
And with that, I transferred the money.
With this, we are done here.
"Well, anything else?" I asked
"Yeah! Thank you! If only everyone could be as peaceful as you the world would be so of a much better place!" She said with a smile and I nodded.
"If you have any problems or anyone troubles you, just come and ask me for help!"
"Sure"
"Hehe, I will be going then! Take care!"
Saying so, she started walking away.
Elinalise, a beastfolk with red hair and red eyes.
It goes without saying that she is dumb.
Currently, their goal is to collect as much money as they can and send it to their grandma or was it some random old lady cliche who had raised them, I don't really remember in detail but eh, whatever, it's the same thing.
Anyways, by them, I, of course, mean to say that Elinalise isn't alone, there's one more person with her His name's Allen. They both grew up in slums, together.
Since they are main cast part of the main cast, of course, they are strong, and extracting money from other students is how they made use of their strengths in the initial days of the academy.
Duh, it's going to bite them back once the month ends.
However, right now I wonder if I shouldn't have given her the money.
I mean, that old lady will die anyway.
Actually, she will be dead within this month.
I don't know the date but if I remember correctly someone will kill her and then act as her to keep receiving the money from Allen and Elinalise.
Since the academy doesn't allow you to go outside for the next 3 years, Allen and Elinalise will find out about the truth much later in the story.
What I am trying to say is... my money is literally going into the hands of a scammer.
Should I have not given it to her?
Then again, I don't want to fight them right now.
It's better for them to keep living in peace while they can.
Because next month.
All of the main cast is going to suffer.
And this time, things would be far more harsh.
Why? Because I have done something far too detrimental to the Demon Lord and he for sure is going to be more aggressive in his actions.
Meh, it's just 50,000 E. Who cares? Let's just go and buy the burger, afterward, I will watch the top 3 movies of this world.
