Waiting For The Light

New School Life

Mr Clerk ordered Mike to go back. So he went after saying goodbye to Benjamin. Now it's only Mr Clerk and Benjamin in the room. Mr clerk found some papers and handed them over to Benjamin.

"Your timetable, an introduction about your roommates, your study schedule, your school map and here is your school identity."

Mr Clerk handed over his identity card which had a picture of Benjamin.

"Oh Thank you, Mr Clerk " 

"Then you should go and find your room and get along well with roommates "

"But I have a question "

Benjamin said with a serious face.

"What is it ?" 

" When I first came here, How did you talk with me ...It's ...What was that? "

" It's one of your abilities and also mine... You have to improve it more. You can only talk back, So you need to learn more...So work hard and you will be able to awaken your powers and improve more skills...I am looking forward to it "

" I see...I will work hard.  Thank you for everything ..Then I will get going "

" Okay..."

Benjamin left the principal's office with papers in his hand.

On the way to his room, he passed more than three buildings. Benjamin has got room no.1940. He has three roommates. Principal already said him that he won't be alone. He understood the meaning of that when he saw the other student that hasn't awakened powers and identified to be a vampire also in the same room as him. It will be easy to get along well with him since both of them are similar. 

Benjamin had the map. So he can find the location himself. When he found the boys' hostel building he couldn't believe his eyes. That building was so high. He couldn't even see the top of the building.

" Sure enough this is also magic. What a tall building, But We couldn't see it from the town...There must be some kind of trick ."

There were many students have come to find their rooms. It was so noisy. When the new students enter the building there are some students older than them who are always there to check their identities and guide them to their rooms.

" Seniors," Benjamin thought. But they are not.

There are no seniors or juniors only them. They are students who graduated from there and work at the school.

When he entered a boy who was wearing the same uniform as the others came to him and asked for his School identity card that detailed their beast forms and other information. Benjamin's card has a space for his special appearance.

" Here ... "

" Benjamin? ..." 

Then he gave an insulting look to Benjamin.

" Good for nothing.." he mumbled. Then said "Follow me "

Benjamin was dumbfounded.

"This bastard "

But he couldn't go against them. And also what he said also not wrong.

He is good for nothing among these people.

His room is located on the 22nd floor. He didn't even realise how many floors are there. They used a lift to arrive on the 22nd floor. That floor had 25 rooms with his room. Each floor also has 25 rooms.

" If this building is full of students then how many students will be here... Even a room has 4 people ..then? Oh my god ...I can't even imagine ..How big is this building? "

After the lift reached the 22nd floor, the guy lead the way to Benjamin's room. Then he gave his identity card back and left soon. Benjamin was in front of the room no.1940

He was still nervous. Because he was afraid they will also look down on him and ignore him. But he had no choice.

He took a deep breath and then knocked on the door. Because they haven't still got the keys. Then the door opened. The boy who opened the door asked him,

" Are you Benjamin?"

"Ah.Yes.It's me.."

"Come in "

He went in with his luggage. Then the door closed again. 

All roommates have already arrived. Benjamin was the one who came last. It's because he went to meet the principal and unexpected things happened there. 

" Hello... Nice to meet you. I am Kevin.  The professor already told me about you.  I think both of us are in the same boat "

" Ah hello... I am Benjamin. I also heard about you ... Hopefully, we can get along well "

"Sure. That is your bed, first, you should place your things there."

" Ah, thanks.. "

He hasn't many things. So It didn't take so long for him to clear his luggage. Then the boy who opened the door called everyone to gather.

" I am the leader of our group. So If you have any problems you can tell me first. I think we should get to know each other well since we are roommates"

" Yes, that's good ... Then tell us your name, your appearance and the class you have appointed. I will start from mine then." Another boy said...

" Okay then," the leader said.

Kevin and Benjamin looked at each other. But didn't say anything. 

"My name is Mark. And I am a Crocodile. I have to attend class no 414 ."

After he finished everyone looked at him with shocked but somewhat appreciating eyes. Crocodile is powerful but also dangerous. It also has a lot of abilities when it comes to water. So this Mark also sure is a powerful guy. The roommates are lucky to have someone as powerful as him.

" Then now I will say about me. " Leader talked.

My name is Alex. I am an eagle. And I have appointed to class  no .128 "

"Woah! An eagle... Super cool .." Others thought.

But only Alex knew how hard it was. Because he had to pull out his nails once a year to increase his powers. That is such a painful thing. He had to behave like a real eagle in this matter.

But he has still accepted the fact, that even if it is painful he will be powerful and never let anyone look down on him. When everyone cheered up for him, he felt so proud and happy. Since he has become the leader of these three guys he promised himself to protect them with his all might.

Then next it's  Kevin.

" I am Kevin. And I haven't still able to awake my other form. But the professor said that I will be a vampire. So I have to attend another special class other than class  no.456."

Other than Benjamin Alex and Mark was seem to be shocked. 

" Still haven't? But it's okay. You can do it. We will support you ..." Alex said.

Mark also nodded.

"Then what about you? " 

Mark turned to Benjamin's side.

"I am Benjamin. I also haven't awakened my form. So I also have to attend a special class as Kevin and class no .468 ."

"Both of you have to attend 2 classes ... " Mark said.

"You will have to work hard," Alex said.

"Both of you can do it " We will support you.

Mark said.

That made Kevin's and Benjamin's hearts relax. They were truly happy to have such a kind roommate. 

Then they chatted for more than 15 minutes.

Then there was an announcement saying that all the newcomers should gather at the school's main hall.

So the four went out together. Each floor had 3 lifts. It's like a super luxurious hotel. 

Kevin, Alex, Mark and Benjamin went together to the main hall. There were so many girls and boys have already arrived there.  They all were chatting while introducing each other. 

The main hall is so big, no it's so huge. More than 50,000 people can enter there... But that's not the matter ... Inside the hall, there is a stage placed in the front of the hall. It's quite high. If someone stands up there he can see all the students who are chatting. That was freaking awesome.

The next moment principal, Mr Clerk appeared on the stage. The whole hall went silent.

" Students, I am going to give you an explanation about your future learning plans and other things. So listen carefully "...
