Dorm mates

As he walked back to the dorm building, he thought about how he could augment the Iron Sheild spell, he was talking back and forth with Jake about it. ' we can structure the atoms like that of carbon, it would increase the hardness of the mana and make it more difficult to pierce ' Jake said, ' but the structure would increase the transfer of heat, sure it makes the strength of the armor better, but it also makes the weaknesses worse, not to mention that it would make the armor brittle and stiff.' Jez countered. "Hello? I was wondering if you could point me to the direction to the dorms.", the female voice cut the mental debate in half, Jez turned to see a girl who was a good foot shorter than him looking at him, she was wearing what looked to be a Male uniform that broke up her body shape quite well, if not for her face and voice, it would have been hard to discern her gender. "Sure, I am heading there any way so you can tag along if you would like." Jez responded l, before turning around and trying to continue with the argument with Jake in his head. They had settled that for the armor had to be a composite of different type of metal arrangements to be effective, but as they were contemplating designs for the armor when, " What is your name?" The same female student who had been tagging along asked, it was an attempt at breaking the awkward atmosphere that had formed in the silence. " Hmm? oh l, my name is Jez" he responded, partially forgetting that there was someone with him, " What is you name?" asked Jez in a response. " Chelsea, Chelsea Stewart." she responded before asking "How long have you been here? I had only just enrolled today.". "I had only just enrolled early today as well, I had already toured the campus." quietly responded Jez. As he said this, they approached last large building that was built like a brick, "Here is the dorms, you need to check in with the dorm manager, the dorm orientation will be in a little bit." Jez quickly opened the door and stepped in leaving Chelsea at the front as he went to his room to unpack his already sparse luggage, he hung his sword on the end of his bed and tucked his equipment into the bottom most drawer of the cabinet. Opening the dresser, he found a sheet of paper that showed how to measure yourself and then to take your measurements and hand it to the dorm manager to get your measurements made into a uniform. He followed the directions and wrote down his measurements before walking out of his room and into the commons where he saw the gathering of his dorm mates, he then proceeded to join them were he learned that this was for the dorm orientation. The dorm manager then walked into the commons and started to speak, he was a middle aged man who had been running the dorms for more than a decade, "Welcome to the dormitory, your homes for the next few years, each student has a personal quarter wich is theirs to decorate and do with as they desire. Two personal quarters are grouped into pods, which have a shared restroom and shower, two of those pods are joined by a commons area wich can be decorated by the two pods." he stated quickly before turning to leave, "The cafeteria is open always and will have some food available at all times, but doesn't restock until morning, midday, and sundown." he added before leaving. Jez turned to the front desk and set the tailor card onto it before heading back to his room before stopping, looking at his pod mates door. 'I should go introduce myself to them and set some ground rules' Jez though before walking over and knocking on the door. A few seconds passed before Chelsea opened the door, "Oh hi" she commented with suprise, "What's up, Jez?".  Jez shut his dropped jaw and responded, "Looks like we will be pod mates, my room is right over there. I had thought that it would be a good idea to come introduce myself." He said. "cool, we should set some ground rules anyway as we will be sharing the washroom." Chelsea commented, before backing up. " Well what are you waiting for, come in" she added. This had almost broke Jez as he had not had many friends growing up and had never been in a girls room before, " O-oh, aure." he murmured weakly before heading in, Chelsea sat down on the bed as Jez used magic to cast a chair shaped piece of metal mana and sat in it, as the two of them started to divy up when they would use the shower. After that they started to chat about their hometowns , as both of them traveled quite a journey to get to the academy. Chelsea had been from a small village in the south, her parents had been wood workers and she had inherited some of their roughness, wich could be seen in her mannerisms and dress. They kept chating until the sun had gone down when Jez got up to leave, declaring that he had wanted to go to the Gym. On the way there, Jez and Jake had come to an agreement on the design of the Iron Sheild armor and how it would be augmented.
