The day of arrival ended just like that. Quickly those stairs with his luggage David quickly found his room in the fourth floor, entering it he didn’t even bother putting everything in order as he originally planned and simply collapsed onto the bed as soon as he saw it, his eye lids were heavy and before he knew it the next day began.

(Knock Knock)

-Ehm…David! Its me, Syndra, Are you awake?

Syndra’s voice woke up him the next day, feeling the warm sunlight pushing through the slits of the curtains onto him, David groggily raised his body as he tried to wake up, for a moment he felt confused about his surroundings and wondered where he was, but quickly enough he remembered all that had transpired, looking around he found his room to be a bit bigger then he had anticipated, last night he didn’t have a chance to look because he was too tired and slept in as soon as he came in.

-Yes, I am awake, what’s the matter senior Syndra do you need anything?

Still a bit embarrassed about what he did last night to the professor, David couldn’t help but start feeling nervous about what the others thought about him now that they had seen all that, if it was just the fondling he could apologize or accept his punishment, but since they had seen him pitch a tent from it David was scared to think whether or not they now considered him a pervert and didn’t want to associate themselves with him.

Syndra in particular was someone he didn’t want to have a bad relationship with since she was the first person who greeted him here and in a sense his first friend in this academy if you can call her that.

-No, I just wanted to call you because breakfast is about to start, we all usually eat together at exactly 6AM every day we also usually have dinner at 6PM on the first floor dining room, I normally don’t call people like this since everyone knows the schedule, but since you’re new I figured that you needed someone to guide you which is why we would be glad if you joined us for breakfast, of course you don’t need to come if you don’t want to! The cafeteria in the academy is usually open from 6AM to 12PM, you can eat there whenever you want and whatever you want as well without any cost, but still, not only me but the others, we would love if you…

-I understand! Don’t worry I’ll be there, I just need to clean up a little bit, thank you senior Syndra!

David said, feeling thankful that Syndra didn’t seem to care about what happened yesterday or at least she pretended to not mind which was enough for him since she was at least being considered.

After that David didn’t hear anything anymore from behind his door, he wondered for a second whether or not Syndra had already left though he didn’t hear any footsteps if that was the case, he was half hesitant whether or not he should call out to make sure, but then considering that it was still quiet for more than 5 minutes since they spoke made him feel awkward which is why he forgot about it and instead focused on getting himself cleaned.

Looking around his room, David quickly found out with delight that it was pretty damn modern for its time, his room had a fully functional bathroom with a sink, a shower and a toilet with toilet paper to boot. His main room was impressive as well, his own bed being extremely soft from what he experienced and seemingly made masterfully but not too fancy being a one-person bed, the other furniture in this room included a big sofa which equally as exquisite as the bed, a wardrobe with a humongous mirror that reflected his entire body, 2 nightstands beside his bed a big office table looking like thing and finally gigantic shelf covering an entire wall which was very much empty making the whole room look a bit soulless.

This room reminded David very eerily about what a student room was, the overall aesthetic was different, but in design it was the same, David couldn’t help but think that most schools weren’t that different after all, considering that David came from a commoner’s background and lived a pretty poor life out in the country side which was extremely far from any advanced city, he was obviously glad to see a toilet again after such a long time especially the toilet paper.

-Argh…alright I can’t spend the entire day marveling at my room, I should finish up quickly and get down stairs can’t have them waiting for me all day.

Still feeling a bit nervous David quickly finished cleaning himself, he enjoyed his shower more than he expected, but he still kept time in mind and tried to be quick about it, opening his luggage he put on some decent clothes that were a mix between casual and formal as he thought his uniform was a bit too stuffy for the weather here, lastly he put a tiny bit of floral perfume onto himself, he made that stuff himself back when he was in the village, since David came from a world with advanced hygiene he obviously liked being clean in comparison to the other villagers who didn’t seem to care too much about smell or cleanliness, to them being clean was taking a bath once per month and stink being 3 week old meat loaf, upon arriving to this world David quickly prioritized his cleanliness above all else since he couldn’t stand the smell he was being surrounded with, previously David didn’t have the hobby of putting on perfume, but instead preferred the simple deodorant that had a simple smell to it neither good or bad just average, unfortunately since deodorant wasn’t easy to make nor available in this world, David had to resort to simple things like flowers which he extracted the essences from through a simple process he read in a book once.

It worked wonders, people noticed his nice smell too making him even more attractive to the girls surrounding him, of course since his mother was always present no one really approached David with ill intentions if they didn’t want to confront his mother furthermore his mother made it a point to strictly keep David on time whenever he went out, David never noticed that his mother’s efforts to protect him were actually well founded after experiencing the event from yesterday, but then again David was still a bit clueless regarding the social norms of this world, it was as if his mind stubbornly refused to accept the new customs, what could one really do about it.

Back to the perfume, it was made out of a flower David made while walking in the forest, his father told him the flower was called Nightqueen for its crown like structure and the fact that it always bloomed at night instead of day, David always imagined that if he never found anything to do in life he would resort to becoming a perfumer, his village may not have a market for perfume since people couldn’t afford such luxuries nor cared too much about them, but he figured that the cities would have plenty demand for it, though now it seems like there wasn’t a need since he was in such a prestigious academy, as long as he successfully graduated from here his future was guaranteed for him, a wizard was after all a profession anyone welcomed.

-Alright, time to go.

Finally done, David opened the door heading out, he wasn’t expecting to see anyone and thought that everyone was already down stairs, but as soon as he opened the door what greeted him was a head of long dark gray hair, the owner of which was leaning against the opposite side of his door in a patient manner exuding a cool aura while putting on a ponderous semi stoic expression, but even though she looked like this for some reason David could tell she also looked extremely energetic and fresh somehow as if all of the negativity within her was released which was strange.

She wore the uniform of the academy just like always looking spotless while the faint fragrance of lavender came from her stimulating the nose.

Syndra truly looked perfect, at least in David’s eyes that was the case, but right now there were a few more important things to pay attention to then here her appearance.

-Eh? You..you waited for me?

Feeling a bit shy, David didn’t expect for Syndra to actually be waiting this entire time, he wasn’t sure how to react to this as he never had anyone wait for him like this before.

-Ah, yes, I figured that since I was going to guide you, I wait for you, sorry for not telling you at the beginning, now let’s…

Abruptly she stopped midsentence as soon as she completely witnessed David, if previously she was enchanted by David then now she was completely charmed by his appearance as his sudden change of wardrobe coupled with his clean look and extremely pleasant smell all assaulted Syndra at the same time, her mind was blank as soon as she saw him, she couldn’t even form any coherent thoughts without thinking about David and how handsome he was making her heart beat and shake within, last night she also had trouble sleeping constantly replaying what happened that night with how sensually he fondled professor Vanessa imagining herself in her place, this inevitably led to Syndra pleasuring herself almost the entire night which is why she looked so energetic and fresh as she had literally released all her stress that night but also suffered for it by lack of sleep, the only reason she didn’t look like it was because she used some minor magic to mask her tired state, but as soon as she saw David her tiredness was immediately relieved and thrown out of the window, only endless enthusiasm could be seen within her eyes, in particular her eyes couldn’t help themselves from slightly veering from his face and going bellow between his legs, David couldn’t catch that as her actions were too fast for his eyes to follow, but Syndra knew what she was doing and felt good doing it too a flame within her igniting which would have usually conflicted with her cold nature but didn’t.

Ever since Syndra witnessed David pitch a enormous tent from fondling the professor Syndra had gained a massive boost to her confidence In regards to David, she already knew that he didn’t care about appearance, but the fact that it extended towards his sexuality by being attracted to a woman like professor Vanessa showed that she had massive chances in making David hers, it’s because of this that Syndra without hesitation immediately went to his room as

soon as the time came giving the excuse of guiding him which in reality was just Syndra trying to net herself as many chances as possible, the only thing she was worried about were the other woman in this house in particular Valentia who looked to be already taken by David and the professor who had the pleasure to be caressed by David.

Speaking of the professor Vanessa, last night when everyone finally went to their respective rooms and after Syndra couldn’t sleep all night from being too aroused, Syndra wanted to get down and get a glass of milk to try calm herself, while going down she passed by the professors room and distinctly heard her moan and pant in a intense manner, the fact that she even forgot to put up a sound isolation ward before doing her one woman act made Syndra think that she was in such a hurry to relief herself that she forgot, in particular Syndra didn’t think that a serious professor like her would make such obscene sounds, but then again her seriousness and cold attitude likely came similarly to how Syndra’s came to be, being constantly shunned by the people surrounding you for your looks wasn’t nice and when constant negativity is directed at you few can prove themselves of being stalwart and not change by it, everyone in this dorm was like this after all, it was only after meeting David that the few people who did encounter him started to begin a drastic change that melted their cold exterior.

Syndra was simply the luckiest among them as she had the chance to spend the most time with David compared to anyone else which prompted her to realize her feelings faster, since Syndra was extremely smart being one of the top students of the academy she knew that she needed to take advantage of this chance before the others started to make their moves, she couldn’t relax for even a second as everyone in this dorm were not only individuals disliked by the academy but also individuals with extreme amount of talent and masters of their field of study, against opponents like these Syndra needed to put forth every bit of effort she could if she wanted to get what she dearly wanted.

And that something or someone stood in front of her smiling at her so sweetly with a slight blush on his face, Syndra wanted nothing more than to hug him and push him down, love combined with carnal lust was not something Syndra had ever encountered before, she knew what lust was, but love like this was far more addicting then any kind of deviant pleasure she could imagine or inflict on herself.

Of course Syndra didn’t act on it obviously, she wasn’t like those bandits she vanquished the previous day, coming from a noble military family her mother Vitra Dragora had instilled the very essence of being a soldier such as discipline and keen mindedness into the young Syndra since she was little, Syndra knew what she could and couldn’t do, and in the end she wasn’t a despicable person either, she had pride in her house name and nobility, and while honor wasn’t on her priority list she kept it in mind at all times knowing that her actions reflected her house.

But most importantly, Syndra simply couldn’t imagine doing anything uncouth towards David f she did she could already tell that she would feel terrible and if David would come to hate her for it then she wouldn’t know what to do.

After all he was the first boy who was genuinely nice to her, being nice doesn’t automatically make her fall in love with someone as Syndra had experience with boys who pretended to like her by being nice to her while in reality only wanting benefits from her title of nobility and huge background, ever since she was little Syndra was schooled on this aspect by her mother which is why Syndra had yet to fall for such tricks, she didn’t know about the others in this dorm, but she figured they had similar experiences which is why Syndra knew that as soon as David

meets and talks to them, they are all likely going to notice how special David was and would do anything to make him theirs.

All of these thoughts were things David could never even imagine, he wasn’t aware in what kind of place he had gotten himself in and how special he truly was, neither did he care too much as he only looked at the one person in front of him who was seemingly frozen in place.

-Ehm..senior Syndra? Are you okay?

He asked hesitantly, Syndra hearing the worry in his voice quickly snapped out of it, she didn’t expect his change of clothes to be such a powerful weapon, furthermore she spotted a extremely attractive smell coming from David which she assumed to be a perfume of some sort.

The fact that he was well versed in these things was sort of terrifying to Syndra as that only made him more attractive, she was already very careful around her future competitors that she didn’t consider everyone outside this academy, Syndra could already tell that it was going to be a tough battle but she had no intention of losing.

Putting on a smile naturally Syndra figured it was time for her to make her moves, she needed to get closer to him as fast as possible and to do that there was one thing she really needed to get rid of before she could advance further.

-Sorry David, I was just a bit spaced out, I see that you are wearing different clothes from before, the academy uniform suited you really well, but this suits you even more.

-Oh really? Thanks senior Syndra! I also think you look very beautiful in your uniform!

-…

He said, his compliments far more natural then hers and his intentions sincere to the core as the words made Syndra blush even harder, for all her planning and conviction, Syndra was still just a inexperienced girl, she had heard hollow and empty compliments before, but never did she hear sincere compliments like these, she had yet to build immunity to things like these but she felt it was tough to do, at this rate Syndra thought that before she could make David hers he would make her his slave instead which for some reason didn’t sound bad to Syndra at all as she imagined herself being dominated by David and begging him like a bitch.

This thought alone started to make the area between her legs heat up, she knew that if she continued something would start to get wet and smell funny which is why she immediately tried to stop and get back on track.

Clearing her throat, she felt her head cool finally before looking at David again

-Lets go downstairs, the others are likely still waiting for us, we don’t want to make them wait any longer.

-Yeah, I’m starving too, I can’t wait for breakfast, what do you guys usually eat senior Syndra?

David asked, following Syndra as they quickly made their way downstairs, looking at her back she could see her beautiful hair shake hair shake step by step as she turned towards him with a shy smile and small blush.

-Before I answer that…can I ask of you something?

-Huh? Sure why not, what is that you want?

-Can you…drop the senior thing?

-Eh? Why? Isn’t it only natural to call you my senior?

David was confused, he thought that Syndra liked being called senior furthermore being respectful of people above you was something very much ingrained to David as he was taught his entire life to be polite and have respect for others from his original parents.

-Yes, the school does teach to be respectful of your seniors, but nowadays not many people follow this line of thought, and since you and I are going to see each other almost every day I figured that at this point we are more then just simple acquaintances…ehm…what I wanted to say was. Is that it would nice if we could call each other more naturally like…

-Friends?

David asked, staring to understand why Syndra was so fidgety and hesitant while speaking, he couldn’t help but feel amused by the fact that they had similar worries in regards to what they other thought about the other person, his words in fact made Syndra slightly jump as she didn’t expect for David to go to the point like this, she was friends with the people in this dorm but she never approached it this way as their friendship came more naturally, and in sense theirs did too, but because of the unnatural tension within them and the fact they were of opposite gender it was difficult to define openly.

David felt the same way, but he figured saying it like this was easier now that he sort of understood the situation, he felt happy too, having a friend like her was reassuring for him which is why he smiled even brighter then before.

-Alright, lets go Syndra, I am starving and from the smell I can tell the food is going to be amazing,

Starting to feel embarrassed David quickly tried to brush it off by changing the subject and going ahead, Syndra didn’t decline looking extremely happy the moment David called her name as she hid her face before chasing after him as they went down to the first floor.
