Evan Cameron

After Leo had dismissed the youths, soldiers begin to approach some of the youths and direct them to the Spiritual Stairway.

As the youths start to disperse, heading towards their destinations, an athletic-looking young man with a buzz cut approached Percy with a smile. "Hey! Percy Turner right? You sure do stand out like a sore thumb being the only one around that is still in civilian clothing. I'm your roommate, Evan Cameron. Come, let me show you to our room."

Percy follows after Evan who is walking in a brisk pace and asked, "Nice to meet you, Evan. So are you my only roommate?"

"No, there are two others, one of them is Ryker Barnett, I suppose you would recognize him, after all, he is the only one that dared to complain to Sir Leo," Evan answers.

"Yes I do, Ryker sure does make an impression." Percy chuckled, "How about the other roommate?"

Evan's expression starts to distort as he wearily replies, "Well... he is a strange one, he directly went to sleep after entering the room without bothering with self-introduction at all!"

"Hmm... A peculiar character indeed." Percy acknowledges while following Evan into a 4 story tall plain-looking building with a sign titled, 'Male Quarters', that is designed to be functional for its purpose and nothing else.

"So, this is it, our humble home for the next 6 months. Our room is on the first floor." Evan smiles as the duo continues down the hallway towards their room. "This is it, our room, it has a biometric sensor on the doorknob, so you won't need keys, come on in."

Percy enters the room after Evan and is greeted by a small plain-looking room painted white with 2 beds on each side. Besides each bed is also a small table and locker on each side. Towards the back of the room, are filled with windows, letting light and air in.

"The empty bed on the right side is yours, your uniform is in the locker." After making sure Percy is settled in, Evan begins to do some stretches.

"Thanks for the help, Evan" Percy replies, and begin to sort his belongings into the locker and heads to the showers with his uniform in hand. After Percy is back from the showers, changed into his green military uniform, he notices Evan is doing some intense physical training.

Percy questions Evan on why is he doing physical training during breaks and Evan stops briefly and explains, "Well, I have to, I do not have a superpower, so my only way forward is by training my mind and body."

Having said that, Evan immediately resumes his physical training. Percy lets out an expression of shock as he is impressed by Evan's determination and recognises that he should try harder if he wants to cure Lucian's illness. As even with the System's help, there is only so much it can do without Percy putting in his own effort.

With that thought in mind, Percy picks up a broomstick in the room and begins swinging it as a sword. Evan notices Percy's action and smiles, before continuing with his training. The duo continued their training in silence until the lunch bell had rung.

After lunch at the mess hall, the duo heads toward the lecture hall, where they will undergo their first theoretical lesson in the academy. The lecture hall was decorated like the quarters, plain functional looking, but huge enough to house over 400 people in it.

After Percy and Evan grabbed their seat, they are joined by Charlotte, who has a dull look on her face. "Arghhh, Percy! The principle almost bore me to death! He spoke from the moment I entered his office about defending the stronghold, the need for a hero and so on and didn't stop until the class is about to start!"

"Hah, guess that's the burden of a genius. For honour and glory, Charlotte, for honour and glory. Pftt" Percy tries to hold back his laughter as he imagines the torture a hyperactive individual like Charlotte must have went through.

Charlotte's face turned slightly red and looked at Percy with a fierce expression on her face as she tries to hold back her anger at Percy's teasing.

Evan looks at the duo with amusement as he wonders what are their relationship.

At this moment, a young beautiful lady in her mid-twenties dressed in full black formal military uniform with shoulder-length silky dark hair walked in. Her almost fully black attire drew the eyes of the youths as she stands behind the podium.
