Chapter 117: Ikki Kurogane

"Finally, it's time for the school to open." Standing below the dormitory building on campus, Shirou looked at the address in his hand, searching for his own dormitory.

"I wonder who my roommate will be. I hope it's not a girl."

Just thinking about Kuraono Shinguji's new school rules gave Shirou a stomach ache. Making students of similar strength live together, regardless of gender, wasn't she afraid that the school's population would double before the semester even ended? Did she really just enjoy watching the chaos unfold?

As for why Shirou didn't want to live with a girl, he could only say it was too troublesome. Unless the two of them got together, a boy and a girl living in the same room would always be a headache. According to the information in his hand, carrying his suitcase, Shirou quickly found his dormitory.

Looking at the "Kurogane" written on the door plaque beside it, Shirou immediately knew who his roommate would be. Ikki Kurogane, the current Failed Knight, the future Uncrowned Sword King. Looking at this door plaque, Shirou's lips couldn't help but curl slightly.

Shirou was now filled with anticipation for his future life.

After knocking on the door and finding no one inside, Shirou took out the key he was assigned and opened the room.

A kitchen, a bathroom, and a two-story bunk bed that was the entirety of this dormitory. Looking at the already made bed on the upper bunk, Shirou conscientiously began to tidy up the lower bunk.

With his personal belongings added, after some tidying, Shirou's various items filled the room.

"I've worked up a sweat, and I haven't changed my uniform yet."

Looking at his attire, Shirou took a shower in the bathroom and then started to change his clothes. Just then, Shirou suddenly heard the room door open. The next moment, a young man appeared before Shirou's eyes.

"So, do I need to scream?" Looking at the bewildered Ikki Kurogane, Shirou teased him while putting on his clothes.

"Please don't joke, you must be my roommate, right?"

"That's right!" After tidying his clothes, Shirou walked up to Ikki Kurogane and extended his right hand, saying, "My name is Shirou Emiya. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"My name is Ikki Kurogane. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Looking at Shirou's extended hand, Ikki Kurogane quickly extended his right hand.

"Then, please bear with me in the life ahead."

"You too!"

"Speaking of which, you came back at just the right time, when I was changing. What if your roommate wasn't me, but a girl?"

"Eh? A girl?" Ikki Kurogane, who was cooking, immediately asked in surprise upon hearing Shirou's question, "This is a boys' dormitory, how could there be a girl?"

"How out of touch are you? This year, our school's dormitories are assigned by strength, regardless of gender."

"Eh, they can do that?" Hearing Shirou's news, Ikki Kurogane was extremely surprised. Because he was a Class F Knight, he had no friends at school. This meant he was unaware of a lot of information that others knew. Now, hearing this absurd news, he was utterly astonished.

"Right? You think so too, don't you? What if your roommate was the Crimson Princess? Wouldn't you have to commit seppuku in that situation?"

"Haha, it's certainly possible!" Just thinking of such a situation made Ikki Kurogane tremble.

"Speaking of which, since you're at school every day, have you seen the Crimson Princess, Kurogane?" Lying on his bed, Shirou, with his eyes closed, suddenly became very interested in whether Ikki Kurogane and Stella had met. After all, both of them had reported early.

Living in the same area for such a long time, perhaps they had already met under the of destiny!

"Stella Vermillion, the Crimson Princess, huh? I often run into her during morning practice, but we haven't spoken. She seems to be a diligent person too."

"Is that so?" They haven't met? What a pity!

"Speaking of which, there's an entrance ceremony today, isn't there? I guess I should get up." Today was the first day of school, and many students were reporting in, including Shirou. Looking at Shirou getting off the bed, Ikki Kurogane held up a plate and said, "Want some breakfast?"

"I'm fine. I already ate before coming."

"Then I'll eat by myself."

"Go ahead, eat. We'll head out after you're done."

"Indeed!"

"What a long-winded woman!" In the classroom, Shirou, who had just returned, couldn't help but complain, recalling the lengthy entrance ceremony. Indeed, no matter the world or country, entrance ceremonies were always so long.

"Eh, Emiya-kun thinks so too?"

"I feel the same way, it was just too long."

"That's right, my legs are aching from standing."

The classroom was filled with girls sitting in front, behind, and around Shirou. Shirou, who had become even more charming after being guided by Divine Grace, was a handsome man even in a world full of gods.

Not to mention this technological world. When he first entered the classroom that morning, he caused many girls to shriek. However, at that time, they weren't familiar with each other, so they were still somewhat reserved.

But now, after conversing during the entrance ceremony, these girls discovered that Shirou was not the type to be cold. On the contrary, his personality was very warm. Therefore, from then on, girls gathered around Shirou.

Even now, it was the same in the classroom. As for Ikki Kurogane, he was now squeezed into a corner.

"He's so popular!" Looking at Shirou's treatment, and then at himself, Ikki Kurogane felt a pang of helpless.

"That's right, the chairperson really talks too much." Just as Shirou was chatting with the girls around him, a weary-looking female teacher walked into the classroom.

But facing the students, she quickly brightened up.

"Alright? New students! Congratulations on your official enrollment!?" The young female teacher smiled broadly, standing at the podium and pulling a party popper towards Shirou and the others, making a loud pop.

"I'm the homeroom teacher for Class 1-1, which is your class, Oriki Yuri. I'm still a rookie teacher, and this is my first time being in charge of an entire class, so please don't be too formal. Call me 'Yuri-chan?' like you would a friend, and I'll be super happy?"

"Oh, so it's Teacher Oriki. It's been a while!" It turned out that this teacher was the one who had proctored Shirou's entrance exam.

"Oh, Emiya-kun, I remember you. But calling me Teacher Oriki isn't good, you have to call me 'Yuri-chan?'!"

"Yes, yes, Yuri-chan!" Shirou, who had many strange friends, instantly accepted the address. Besides, could 'Yuri-chan' be more embarrassing than the nicknames in Orario? Shirou stated that he was already used to it.
