《High school life in a world where everyone has superpowers》Chapter 4: The Elite Dorm.
Advertisement
Walking back down the insane staircase, Silence noticed the time. Lessons were over, and to show that, tons of people had crowded the staircases she was climbing down. There were multiple clubs, from the Kendo club to the video-game club and everything in between. They were meant to unite students with similar hobbies, but also probably came with an in-group out-group problems, which Silence hated. She had been given a list of clubs, some which she could just join, others that needed the presence of an elite member to become clubs. She ignored all of them after being a proud member of the Go-Home club throughout her school career, and not wanting to miss it's activities, which shockingly contains going home...
She made a two-way barrier around herself as she played her music whilst walking down. She enjoyed a wide range of songs, from pop to rock. Her favorite genre though, was instrumental music. She found serenity in that genre that wasn't in any other, feeling that words in art act to only restrict and tell when you could have your own take without them.

Silence eventually staggered out of the school when she was faced with another problem. She didn't know where the elite dorm was, and since most elite members ran a club, it was unlikely she could just follow someone else to it. But this problem was swiftly resolved by her finding Thor, which surprised Silence since she had assumed that Thor would have student council things to do.
So Silence followed Thor in silence, and eventually they got to the elite dorm. Thor had noticed her presence, but they both went to the same dorm, so he shrugged it off, assuming she was just incidentally heading to the same place. Silence showed her student ID to the guard at the gate of the dorm and was lead to her room. It was a large fancy room, and all of her boxes were lying on most of the surfaces screaming 'open me'. So she did.

Silence managed to get through half of her boxes, putting her clothes away, putting her mini-fridge in her room full of her favorite cola. She didn't manage to do much more before she fell tired, so she set her alarm clock to something reasonable, and slept. She ended up changing into a large t-shirt with baggy pajama bottoms.
-
Silence was woken up to knocking on her door. She had forgotten to fully sound-proof her room earlier, due to not wanting to seem rude to anyone sent to her, but now she was in a groggy mood having woken prematurely.
Nevertheless she answered the door.
'Who's this?' A confused and groggy Silence thought looking at the person at her door who looked like a maid.
"Are you 'Silence'?" The maid asked with a happy face.
'Huh, she's pretty cute... Oh, wait, is she one of the puppets I've heard about? The head-master has an ability in which he can make androids. He can only fully control some of them, but I heard he has an army of old ones he uses for servants. After releasing them from his control they are still loyal to his orders. I think this place has about one hundred and twenty of them, giving each elite their own private servant to help them.' Silence thought as she gradually became more focused.
"I am..." Silence sloppily replied, showing her student ID. "And you are?"
"Oh. Forgive me, I'm your personal maid. Please call me Becky," she replied without any hint of lying. Noticing Silence's garb she became flustered, "Eh?! You were asleep? I... I... I'M SO SORRY MISTRESS!" exclaiming as the maid bowed continuously, begging for forgiveness.
Her panic made Silence slightly uneasy, she could only stand awkwardly in response...
Another person in a similar maid costume came over, over-hearing the maids panic.
"Oh, you must be mistress Silence then," the other maid cut into the conversation, having analyzed the situation. "I'm Elizabeth, I serve as the head maid. Rebecca was sent here to ask for your presence at the dinner happening downstairs. With your present clothes, I gather you weren't informed. So allow me to fill you in. In this dorm, dinner is cooked regularly for it's occupants, which includes you. You won't get kicked out if you don't go every day, since eating out isn't scorned upon, but since this serves as your introduction to your fellow dorm members, we require your presence today. Dinner will be served in about half an hour, so please get yourself dressed appropriately. Rebecca here will lead you once you're ready," She stopped, realizing she went on way too long.

"Okay, thanks for the information," showing her appreciation, Silence bowed to Elizabeth. Turning to Becky, she continued. "Sorry for flustering you. I didn't know about the dinner, and whilst unpacking felt tired," and as she bowed to her maid, Becky became blushed, trying to hide it out of embarrassment.
Silence went back in to change, changing back into her casual clothes, a shirt over a t-shirt with jeans. Then she seemed to change her mind and changed again into her school uniform. Thinking back, she should have asked the dress code...
-
Finally dressed, she went back to a waiting Rebecca, who seemed to have calmed down.
"Sorry for the wait," Silence yet again bowed as she apologized.
Rebecca sighed disappointingly, and replied "you're wearing your uniform, and a male one at that? Now that just won't do." Saying this, she grabbed Silence's collar and forced her back into her room. She then grabbed a couple costumes and forced her to wear each and every one of them. It seemed like the school had supplied her with posh things to wear, the rest was apparently a hobby of Becky's.
'Who knew the androids had so much free time...' Silence remarked in her head. The amount of different hand-stitched costumes made her question whether Becky actually had time for her job.
Silence did as the maid ordered, forcing her to pose, as she seemingly judged each costume. A smile started creeping onto Rebecca's face, probably from seeing the cute girl in front of her getting embarrassed in even cuter outfits.
-
After about ten or twenty times, using up most of the half-hour she was given, Rebecca finally gave the nod of approval. But it wasn't to a suit, or something Silence wanted to wear, but to a dress. A dress that revealed way too much skin.
'...' Not even Silence's own thoughts could call this out. She never saw herself as suiting a dress, but looking at herself in the mirror, this seemed to changed quickly with a good make-up artist.
"So... is there actually a dress code or what?" Silence winced and panted from the earlier experience.
"Oops..." the maid looked at the uncomfortable looking girl she just force in a dress, and dropped her head. "I went too far, didn't I?" She handed a plain shirt, an over-coat and suit trousers that seemed relatively casual to Silence. "There is a minor dress code, but it's mainly to keep up appearances. We aren't really picky, as long as you don't look too slobbish. For instance, this should be fine. You can keep wearing the dress if you want though."
With no more conversation, Silence darted back into her room to dress. Rebecca seemed to mumble a curse as Silence came out looking far more relaxed than she did in the dress, of course she still had make-up on, buts she at least sorted out her hair and got back into a suit, of which she was comfortable in.
"Sorry, but could please remove the make-up now?" Silence begged to Rebecca. Begrudgingly she helped taking off the make-up she had flawlessly put on the girl in front of her, eventually she seemed ready to join the meal downstairs. So following the maid, she prepared herself for meeting the other elite.

The Last Woman on Earth: A Military Sci-fi Intrigue
A disillusioned military officer and the self-proclaimed ‘last woman on Earth’ embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind a world without women. Second Lieutenant Alexei Vronsky is clinging to his sanity after his comrade was killed in a prolonged siege, but the time for self-loathing and wall punching is over. He finds an intruder in his room, who claims to be a woman—a mythical creature only existed in ancient texts. Against his expectation, she has no wings attached to her back, no laser guns on her shoulders, and not the slightest idea about the endless war between the Republic of Moskva and its vassal states. Suspecting she’s a government experiment, Alexei determines to find answers to the impossible existence of women. However, the deeper he digs into the dark, the further he realizes there’s more to the eternal war than he’s allowed to know. And the sooner he can stop the cycle of needless deaths the better, before he's shut down. Permanently. [Apart from being a war novel, this story is also a progression fantasy. The MC will get stronger, acquire more special abilities and fighting gears. They come later in the story, though.]
8 124Re-Re:Hammer
Your average Reborn Game System story, similar to The Gamer and Solo Leveling. Written for fun rather than novilization like the others, so it is smaller and less intense. It is set in an AU Warhammer based on a slightly modified version of Warhammer Fantasy's End Times.. So you might notice names and events but don't expect it all to go the same way. And the Main Character is not the only Player in this game~ I'm kind of a catastrophe when it comes to ethic and drive. So don't be alarmed if there isnt an update for a week or three. Or if there is three updates at once. It's a rewrite of the Rehammer that is around, which means the start is mostly the same with some small changes. Chapter 15 is the first fully new chapter of the book. though Chapter 14 has a large addition. You effectively can skip to that and not missing anything major if you read the old one, if you don't wanna rewrite.
