Ash and me made our way to our dorm room it was very small it had two single beds with night stands next to them, a bathroom, a kitchenette and a dining table with three chairs and our bags were on the beds.
it was small but had everything I needed but it was definitely going to be a bit cramped with two people living in it.
on the table was a note after reading a bit it gave why we were assigned as roomates Ash had a non destructive ability and I had a copy ability so it was a relatively safer combination if we didn't get along.
it also helped that we were in the same hero team and our answers in the character test were pretty similar.
(a test part of the theory exam in which the overall values and opinions of the person are tested)
It was still early so I walked in and started to get stuff out and organise it and ash did the same they had a lot less stuff just a single suit case whereas I had two suit cases and a bag.
starting with the easy stuff I took out a family picture and put it on the night stand I got my own pillow and put it on the bed then I took out Mr nibbles my stuffed toy bunny and put him on the bed.
I noticed ash stare at Mr nibbles for a bit but then they turned away to do their own thing on their side they had got out an... alarm clock! fuck! no sleeping in for me then I felt air escape my lips as I turned my attention back to what I was doing.
it took an hour to sort everything though I did have to negotiate with Ash on certain things like where in the bathroom everything is put or which draws had what in them but it a mostly peaceful conversation.
I also gained great insight into Ash's shape shifting I could alter my body but it had several limitations like I couldn't create new things for example I could make myself a animal but I couldn't just grow one arm super long without thinking about a reference.
another thing is that I couldn't make myself into inorganic materials like iron or diamond which I guess makes sense though I could reinforce my bones and speed up healing but not to ability levels.
I was done so I collapsed on my bed it was then a scent entered my nose it was food, I sprung up and looked over at the kitchenette and on the element was a pot with some kind of soup.
I looked towards ash with a pleading look which caused them to sigh and start speaking.
"yes you may have some"
I said thank you and waited patiently it did take ages but it was well worth the wait it was a potato and leek soup but it tasted like a god blessed it and it was purified from the world.
now that I think about it I hadn't had a warm home cooked anything in almost a year so my reaction was to be expected.
after I finished devouring the third bowl I noticed ash look at me with what I think is pity I didn't have any idea why though.
the rest of the day was pretty peaceful I started working out and started a casual conversation with ash.
"so ash do you have any brothers or sisters?"
ash replied nonchalantly.
"yeah I have a younger brother he is a shifter like me but not in the same way"
I asked another question.
"my mother is a hero do you have any heroes in your family?"
they hesitated this time but answered.
"yeah my grandfather is a pretty famous hero"
this peaked my interest so I asked about it.
"really what is his hero name?"
without any hesitation Max blurted out the hero name.
"the polymorph dragon"
I started choking on air only ten heroes have a dragon in their nickname dragon heroes are only second to the royals the polymorph dragon is the ninth dragon hero his ability quite literally allows him to transform into a dragon.
I replied as calmly as possible.
"really that is awesome and explains were you get your shifting from"
ash just nodded and continued eating I decided to go to bed early and I woke up to ash shaking me I was a bit out of it until I heard what they were saying.
"class starts in 15 minutes"
as soon as I heard that I jumped out of bed and got changed except the problem was I got changed next to my bed not in the bathroom once I noticed my blunder I looked at ash and said sorry feeling extremely embarrassed.
I put on my socks and shoes and that left 9 minutes to get to class so me and ash started running I wasn't exactly fit but I didn't work out for nothing so we were able to get to out classroom just as the Mr Melion was about to speak.
"well well late on the first day come in and sit down"
we both walked in and sat down on the same seats as yesterday and waited for mister Melion to speak.
"today we will go over the subjects on each day Monday is melee combat and ability fighting, Tuesday is English and maths, Wednesday is body fitness and human anatomy, Thursday is hero life and law, Friday is free training and your elective.
Saturday is survival and situation re-enactment Sunday is usually a free day now I hope that you all work hard in all your classes as today is Thursday I am going to hand out the elective brochure and the enrolment form choose wisely.
