Chapter 97 The Fourth Roommate We Haven’t Met
I comforted Guan Qiuling and began to handle her enrollment process.
On the way, I got to know her a bit better.
For example, she was originally supposed to attend Aphhemia Academy, but was snatched away by that senior halfway, which is quite unfortunate.
So in the end, she’s another top student, right?
Well, that’s true; if she weren’t a top student, there wouldn’t be much value in abducting her. I should understand that, which means I’m the one with the worst grades among the new male students in the Witch Academy?
Otherwise, what normal boy would voluntarily apply to the Witch Academy? They all got abducted.
But I do have an advantage, for example… my adaptability is strong, at least stronger than theirs.
Anyway, that’s how Guan Qiuling ended up at the Witch Academy, but that’s not the worst part. Guan Qiuling said she originally planned to arrive at school early; even though she was abducted and entered the Witch Academy, she wouldn’t be too far behind in terms of time.
So now she has been at the Witch Academy for many days. As for where she stayed, I can guess without asking—it’s in that senior’s villa, and as for the kinds of inhumane experiences she went through there…
I didn’t dare to ask, afraid of touching her sore spot.
So I should hurry and complete her enrollment process.
“Eh? You’re also a new student, right? How did you manage to give her the Magic Source?”
The senior handling the room card looked at me curiously. After all, such matters are usually handled by older seniors, and new students can’t do this at all.
“Another senior did it before; I’m responsible for guiding new students through the re-enrollment process. Recently, there’s that volunteer activity in the club… I came here after getting some benefits.” I forced a smile and explained to the senior.
I was asked the same question at the registration desk; it was just too awkward. Anyone could see that I was also a new student, right?
“Oh, I see. I sympathize with you; this job is not easy. Let me register for your room card.”
“Okay, thank you, senior.” I replied politely, but soon I remembered something and cautiously asked, “Um, senior, can we specify her dormitory?”
“Specify? Do you want a better one? That requires an extra fee.”
“No, no, can she stay with me? I’m also using a regular room card.” I quickly corrected.
“Well, in principle, that’s not allowed.”
“Could you make an exception? Senior, look at her; she’s shorter, her character is very soft, and she’s likely to be bullied. It would be better for her to share a dorm with me rather than face an unknown roommate; I can take care of her.” I saw the senior hesitate but not willing to relent, so I immediately began to act cute.
If it works out, everything’s good. If not, it doesn’t matter; after all, this was just a spur-of-the-moment idea.
Who doesn’t want a bunch of quirky roommates with interesting stories?
That must be so cool, right!
“Ugh… fine, just this once! Report your dorm, and I’ll arrange it.” The senior finally couldn’t resist my cute tone and caved in.
“Thank you, senior~ I’m in Area 2, Street 62 of Xinmeng.” I said quickly.
“Oh, that one? There are already three people living there. Adding you makes it four, which is just enough. According to this year’s enrollment situation, that’s about the maximum number of dorm assigned. We can’t add anyone else after that.” The senior warned me after checking.
“Mm-hm! Definitely… wait, that’s not right! With my arrival, there are only two people in our dorm!” I hurriedly responded but soon noticed something was off. When did my dorm have three people?
Don’t tell me ghost stories, hey!
“My system shows that three room cards have already been issued for that room. If there’s a mismatch, did you report the wrong information?” the senior asked curiously.
“That’s impossible; it’s in Xinmeng!” I compared my room card and said.
“That’s correct. It seems someone got a room card but didn’t move into your dorm. That’s quite common. Maybe you can find them at the villa of some senior, as maybe the senior guiding her was overly enthusiastic and kept her there.”
“Ah…”
How familiar does this development sound? Isn’t this Guan Qiuling?
If I hadn’t come to check today, I wouldn’t have known I had another roommate suffering in an unknown place!
My poor roommate!
“Um… senior, can we know the other person’s information? I want to find her.”
“Mm… sorry, that might not be possible. This data can actually be checked through the Earth Vein information database, but I don’t have that authority. This is personal information, and we can’t just look up such things.” The senior shook her head and replied.
“Okay…” As expected, it’s not easy. But speaking of authority, don’t I have it?
The senior temporarily unlocked permissions for me to find someone, but I wonder if I can check it through my academy system.
After all, getting a room card doesn’t seem to require any information registration; it might require it, but certainly not in the way I know of.
“Um, senior, you’re issuing room cards here without registering information? Aren’t you afraid someone might take several room cards at once?” I asked tentatively.
“Not afraid; the Earth Vein will record this information. Although I can’t access it, if someone tries to exploit this, they won’t be able to process a second room card. Don’t worry about it.”
“Okay… alright…”
Again, the Earth Vein. It seems this energy is really terrifying; it can record such information, and even my body data must be recorded.
“Um… Sister Xiao Han, are we done?”
At this moment, Guan Qiuling tugged at my clothes from behind and quietly asked.
“All done!” I felt a rush of comfort when I was suddenly called “Sister Xiao Han.”
I can finally appreciate what it’s like to have a cute loli call me sister with such a sweet voice; it’s simply amazing!
“Um, senior, we’ll get busy now. Perhaps we’ll meet again later~”
After hastily bidding farewell to this senior, I took Guan Qiuling and left.
“This is your room card; hold onto it. From now on, you can live in the same dorm as me.”
“Thank you, Xiao Han… sister.” Guan Qiuling carefully accepted the card and thanked me.
“Hey, don’t call me sister; we’re both new students. Just call me Xiao Han.”
“Um, Xiao Han sister, can you promise me something?”
“Uh… tell me what it is first; I’m also a new student and might not be able to do very difficult things.”
Although Guan Qiuling didn’t correct herself, since she wanted to call me that, so be it; it sounds nice.
“Um… can you not tell others that I used to be a boy? I… I…”
“Oh, that matter, of course, I can keep it a secret. But there’s no need to hide something like that. In my dorm, there’s also a roommate who used to be a boy; she doesn’t really mind it.”
I recalled Dongli Yiren; with her personality, she’s quite open about it with me and others. It’s hard not to suspect whether she was a boy before.
And telling Guan Qiuling, who has the same experience in advance, might help them become good friends.
“Ah? Is that so… but… I still want to ask Xiao Han sister to help me keep it hidden, okay…” A trace of surprise flashed in Guan Qiuling’s eyes, but she still didn’t correct herself, indicating she didn’t want to recognize Dongli Yiren.
It seems she has a soft and gentle personality, but she has quite a few thoughts.
“Okay, let’s consider this our secret.” I smiled and extended my hand; after all, in this world, there is a meaning to making a pinky promise, and Guan Qiuling shouldn’t not be aware of it.
“Mm… secret.” Guan Qiuling rare showed a sincere smile, linking her pinky with mine.
