Chapter 250Snow Day [5]
Making my way through the familiar path, I once again saw the group of security personnel waiting outside the guard of the royal dormitory.
After reciprocating nods from the security guards, I walked onto the premises of the Royal Dormitory, immediately distracted by the abundance of snow.
Well...not real snow.
Considering the sun was still shining down right now, it would be almost impossible for natural and real snow to be here.
Thus, the academy made fake snow that was immune to the sun\'s bright rays and used it for decoration.
On the trees next to the gates, snow was covering most of the branches, and even the grass nearby was colored white.
After pacing back and forth in the courtyard of the Royal Dormitroy for a moment, I finally decided to head in.
I didn\'t. I was on the best terms with Liam or Kevin... or my next-door neighbors in the slightest.
Silently opening the door of the dormitory, I slipped pass the common room unsighted before turning right and heading to the male portion of the dormitory.
Walking past countless rooms with who knows what inside, I finally arrived at the residential area as I began seeing placards beside each door.
[Liam]
[Kevin]
[Zach]
[Ren]
Heading to the very end of the hallway, I braced myself before opening the door.
The room in front of me... was more than triple the size of my old room.
In the middle of the room lay a gigantic king-sized bed that was in no way comparable to my old twin-sized one.
The paint job was done perfectly with no blemishes, and all of the appliances, like the stove, were the newest and highest quality editions.
Not only that, but the room seemed to have a loft as there was a set of stairs that led upwards in the corner of the room.
Waking up the cat with a soft tug, I watched as it gracefully jumped from my hoodie to the ground, perfectly landing on its feet.
Ignoring all the lavish and expensive decorations... the black cat simply headed straight for the bed.
Then, without sparing a glance at anything else, the cat jumped on the bed before settling down in the exact center.
Alternating gazes between my now-sleeping cat and the lavish room, I sighed.
"A nap does sound good right now..."
Unfortunately, due to my antics yesterday, I didn\'t have time to spare at this point."
Also, ignoring the lavish decorations, I headed for a desk near the center of the room, which was bathed in sunlight through the tall windows.
Picking up a pencil, I rapidly sketched the entire plan of the school\'s administrative building and courtyard.
Staring at the piece of paper in front of me, I began to replay scenarios in my head over and over again, hoping to find the one with the highest possibility of success.
But... unfortunately, no matter how much I thought about it and planned, something was always bound to go wrong.
Recalling Lily\'s personality from the times we had spent together, I tried to put myself in her shoes.
What would I do?
I have the principal, the student council president, the protagonist of the story, and the main cast at my disposal.
How would I use these materials to first eliminate the djinns without any student casualties, and two, protect the vault from the other djinns?
...
...
...
Tapping my pen against my desk, I sighed and leaned back in my chair.
If only this damned vault wasn\'t located in the administrative building.
The layout of the building was, of course, designed perfectly to prevent intruders from sneaking in.
This meant that there were very few routes I could use to get in and out... and all of those routes would most likely be guarded.
Of course, the paths being guarded didn\'t mean they were useless as I could simply fight my way through... but that would waste time and draw attention.
Brushing my hair back, I got up from my chair before grabbing a bottle of water.
The school-wide assembly would start in about an hour, and after that, things would start happening one after another.
The school assembly would go on for about an hour, give or take, until the emergency alarm would go off.
As per procedure, all the students would evacuate the field to take cover from whatever emergency.
From there, things could go a lot of ways depending on what decision and plan Lily makes.
*DING*
*DING*
Snapping me out of my thoughts, I heard the sound of a doorbell ring.
"...is that mine?"
Leaving the kitchen with my bottle of water, I headed to the door and peered through the hole, surprised to see a familiar figure waiting outside.
Well...I wasn\'t really surprised; it was kind of in his personality to do things like this.
Opening the door, I saw Zach waiting outside with a basket of fruits and other various baked goods.
Seeing me, Zach was about to say something... but instead, he paused.
Then, a moment later, Zach said in a clearly forced, excited voice.
"Welcome to our dorm, Ren! As the first-year residential advisor of the Royal Dorms, I hope you find your time here comfortable and enjoyable!"
Nodding my head, I thanked Zach before grabbing the gift basket and heading back into my room.
...
...
...
"YOU\'RE SAYING WE HAVE TO SPEAK AT THE ASSEMBLY!?"
Kaneki, furious at the fact he was still at the school, stared at Principal Seraphina in utter shock and anger.
Kazuki, seeming to not care in the slightest, simply nodded his head.
"We\'re already here, so we might as well."
Putting out a magical artifact, Kaneki responded.
"WHAT IF I\'M NOT H-"
