Dormitory of the outcasts

Alex was sitting at the small study table next to the bed, and was going through the notes and books on that table. Johann seemed to be a very organized person and had an obsessive attitude. Even his writings were completely arranged and no traces of scribbles could be seen on the writings.

Johann's handwriting was so clean and beautiful, that Alex was completely amazed to see them. Even though he had good handwriting, it was not as beautiful as Johann's handwriting.

Alex thought that by reading those notes, he might find something related to Johann's memories. But to my disbelief, there was no diary in that place and only research notes.

Johann seemed to be very interested in researching skills development. Because the innate abilities were a part that you had from birth, and if that skill was at the lowest level, you could no longer upgrade it.

So, if a person was born with an inherent skill of grade F, he would remain grade F until the end of his life.

This was the biggest problem for everyone. Even having dual innate abilities was a rare example. And if a person had dual skills, he could receive a lot of support from the government. However, this was strange, since Johann also had dual skills, he could easily live in an aristocratic dormitory without any expenses. So why did he make such a choice?

He didn't really understand Johann, he didn't need to anyway his. Because he was the only person in this world who had no innate skills from birth. A one in a billion exception that happened very rarely. In this world, everyone had at least one innate talent, even if it was at a lower level. Alex was even more ordinary than an ordinary person. However, he had good intelligence even if he was not a genius.

He tried his best to get into the Sanfort Academy, because it was the only place that even those with little or no talent could enter. Although the cost of studying at Sanfort Academy was high. But it was the only place where you could grow as a talentless person.

Alex sighed and stopped thinking about why Johann had made such a decision. Anyway, whatever reason he had, he would eventually understand it, so during this time, he had to be careful not to attract the attention of certain people unintentionally, so that he could fully adapt to Johann's body and this weak body grow a little.

However, he only understood one thing so far; It was also that this place is a dormitory for the outcast, and about 30 people live in this dormitory.

A dormitory for people who are about to be evicted. They are people known as trash and the academy has no responsibility to protect them. So if these people are bullied and violent, the academy will not take their side. After all, they are the some ones who will be fired sooner or later. People who cling to a shred of hope and are struggling in this swamp to escape, and want to grab the last rope that comes to them, whether it is a strong rope and pulls them out or a rotten rope that causes them to drown become them.

This seemed a bit pathetic.

Alex came out of his thoughts and looked at the watch in Johann's hand.

A watch with a white strap and glass with a blue screen. And it worked only with the touch of the hand. Alex touched the screen with his hand and a transparent hologram window appeared in front of him, with Johann's profile written on it.

"Oh... he's really in bad condition. This is the lowest score a person can get. What's wrong with this guy, according to his writings, he doesn't seem like a fool. Damn... I have to get one million academic points within three months."

After seeing those scores, Alex was really shocked and realized that this boy's condition is really unusual. Well, it was no surprise anyway, because he had even decided to commit suicide. Certainly Johann was in an unfavorable situation. In these first moments, due to the behavior of that guy of Lomer, he noticed the hostility that the others had towards him. This made the situation a little complicated for Alex.

However, he had an advantage; Being in this place was the dormitory of the outcasts. A place away from everyone's eyes and unimportant; Where he could progress without the attention of others. Although some intruders such as mice may visit him from time to time, but this issue did not seem so threatening.

So Alex decided to spend his time on more important things and prepare an efficient plan for the future.

After seeing Johann's personalized page, Alex went to the discussion forum section of the Academy's virtual space to get the latest news. He overheard the conversation between Lomar and David and realized that the story of his death was going viral. And it had almost become the headline of the academy news. Although the academy had blocked the publication of many articles, they were still being published in the chat section of private groups between students.

[Hey, that's really true. Someone died in the dormitory.]

[Yes, you want me to send the picture of the room.]

[Are you sure the photo is not fake?]

[Ha, you can use the program to see if it's real, the boy who was in room 900 took this photo himself.]

[Right, I heard that too. They say it is very strange, how can someone die like this.]

[Some say that the boy who died is a crazy person.]

[Ah, right, that was really annoying. Once we worked together on a group project. He had very bad manners. He even removed the name of one of the guys the list; because he was sick and couldn't hand in his work on time, even though there was still time left to hand it in.]

[People like him deserve to die. They do not understand anything about consciousness.]

...

...

....

Alex got a little nervous after reading those chats, "Huh, I deserve to die. Seriously?! These opportunistic bitches are really selfish."

Alex couldn't bear to see those nonsense posts anymore, so he closed the chat screen and lay down on the bed. He didn't have a proper rest until now and he was pressured to complete those missions, so he decided not to think about anything else and take some rest.

2 pm.

It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon and Alex woke up because of hunger. There was a small fridge in the room, so he looked inside, it was completely empty, not even a piece of bread.

Alex sighed in frustration. "Ah…damn. You're really miserable boy."

Desperately, Alex went to the ground floor to take a look at the dormitory's dining area.

After a few minutes, he arrived in front of a large metal door with a sign next to it saying Dining Hall. Alex entered the hall. The tables were lined up parallel to each other and several people were standing in line for food.

When he entered the hall, he noticed the eyes that were looking at him and watching him; Those people were whispering to each other and saying something. This made their whisper sound like the buzzing of a group of bees. He seemed to be hated even among these outcasts.

This was really funny for Alex, to the point where he wanted to burst out laughing, but he controlled himself. He should not have attracted unnecessary attention to himself, even though these people are outcast like him. But this place may be even more dangerous than other parts of the academy; Because these people were not under the supervision and protection of the academy and this place was their last chance for survival. So they could do anything to get points.

Ignoring those stares, Alex entered the food line, his only concern at the moment was to heal Johann's weakened body somewhat. So it was necessary to eat proper and better foods.

Alex walked forward with a dish for food in hand, an elderly woman with a wrinkled and frowning face was handing out food. She said to Alex in a sharp voice:"What do you want?"

Alex tried to answer the old woman with a smile and a calm tone. "I want some meat soup with a piece of bread.

After hearing Alex's request, the old woman placed a device in front of Alex to pay for the food by scanning the barcode.

Fortunately, the food in this dormitory was cheaper than the main dormitories of the university, and he could get soup and bread by paying 10 points. Anyway, the reason for this low score was because of the quality of the food. The higher the quality, the higher the price.

The food of this dormitory was mostly obtained from the extras and leftovers of the main kitchen. Indeed, they are treated like garbage.

In this situation it didn't matter to Alex, at least eating this food is better than eating weeds in the garden.
