Eunuch's Rebirth: I Reincarnated With My Manhood as the Young Master - Chapter 45: Dormitory

Because of the sudden attack by Nefarius, the great Rajuk Caeloria Academy was temporarily closed for a week. The first-year entrance ceremony would also be held after that week.

However, the dorms were opened for the prospective students who had passed the entrance exam and become first-year students.

Since many came from distant lands, it was better for them to stay in the dorms and wait for the entrance ceremony.

Gray and Soren Valerian, on the other hand, didn’t stay at the academy dorms, since the Ashborn family’s capital branch was located in the capital city, and

When Lina, Gray’s personal maid and future concubine, heard about the attack on the academy, she rushed in with a terrified expression.

Moreover, when she saw that Gray was safe, she fainted on the spot. It was probably because she had been under a lot of mental stress, and after confirming Gray’s safety, all her worry vanished and her body gave in to relaxation.

Thus, Gray decided to stay at the Ashborn family’s branch mansion and spend some quality time with Lina.

The day before the entrance ceremony,

Gray was sitting on a bench by the garden at the academy, gazing in the direction where the fight had taken place six days ago.

Even though the battle had taken place in midair, the shockwaves caused massive damage. Many buildings were fractured from within, their structures heavily weakened. They could have collapsed at any moment, so the academy decided to rebuild the entire area.

“Woah,” Gray exclaimed, watching the mages rebuild the buildings with magic. There was no need for cranes or any modern tools — the mages handled everything effortlessly with their spells.

“Truly convenient.”

As Gray admired the reconstruction process, Soren Valerian walked toward him, his expression devastated.

He had gone to the academy office to collect their dorm room numbers. When he left, he wore a cheerful smile, but now his expression looked as if he’d just been dumped.

“…What’s with that expression?”

“Haa…” Soren Valerian sighed. “We were given separate rooms.”

“…Is that so.”

Every dorm room was shared by two students. So, Soren Valerian had hoped to be Gray’s roommate, but he was assigned to another room instead. Thus, he was left heartbroken.

Gray sighed at his childish behavior.

Ever since Gray had killed the tentacle creature, Soren Valerian had been acting even more strangely. His eyes showed admiration and loyalty. Moreover, he even disturbed Gray and Lina’s time together, which has made Gray somewhat annoyed with him.

“Let’s go,” Gray said, ignoring his childish behavior, and started walking toward the dorm building.

Step… step… step…

Previously, when they took the entrance exam, they had been at the farthest training ground near the main entrance, so Gray didn’t know the entirety of the academy. But now, standing at the center of the academy, he constantly gasped in awe.

The academy building looked like a Meldiven-era fantasy setting, with gardens, cultural institutions, theaters, museums, clock towers, churches, opera houses, the academy library, and vast training grounds.

At a glance, it seemed more like an isolated city than an academy. People could spend their entire lives here with every need met.

Moreover, the academy is home to about 10,000 people, including students, professors, and workers of all kinds.

A walk around the diameter of the academy grounds would take the average person over seven or eight hours.

The academy is divided into two main parts: the dormitory building, where students, professors, guests, and workers live, and the classroom building, where classes are held.

The dormitory building is divided into professors dorms and student dorms. The student dorms are further divided according to grade and gender.

The classroom building is divided by grade and department.

Since the school follows a four-year program, there are four grades: first year, second year, third year, and fourth year

Each of these grades is divided into three departments: Knight, Mage, and Scholar.

The Knight Department includes students who specialize in swords, bows, spears, and hand-to-hand combat. They take courses related to their specialty as required courses for their majors.

The Mage Department, as the name suggests, contains students whose primary specialization is magic.

The Scholar Department contains students who are highly intelligent and serve as the pillars of the empire. They are mainly prepared for military or imperial official positions, and their studies include languages, theology, law, astronomy, geography, military strategy, leadership, and more.

Although the three departments study and are accommodated separately, there are some classes where all three departments attend together.

The academy also competes with other kingdoms or academies, so the students frequently go outside to gain practical experience.

“Young master, this is the building.”

Gray and Soren Valerian arrived at the first-year Knight Department boys dorm.

Similar to the three departments separate classroom buildings, the dorm also has separate buildings based on grade and gender.

Gray looked at the high-rise building Infront of him; the design was similar to a 17th-century building back on Earth, featuring classical European-style architecture.

Intrigued, he walked inside the dormitory. The interior had a premium vibe, similar to a five-star hotel from the modern world, with a classical touch. The air inside was cool, thanks to magical devices placed around that emitted cold air—similar to an air conditioner.

Then, Gray and Soren Valerian walked to the stairs. Their rooms were on the third floor.

Step… Step…

After they climbed to the third floor, they parted ways, since their rooms were different.

“So this is my room.” Gray found his room and opened it with the keys Soren Valerian had brought from the academy office.

Creak…

As he opened the door, he saw a big, luxurious room with two beds, two tables, a wardrobe, a kitchen, a couch, etc. The room also had one bathroom and one balcony.

Gray’s eyes widened in surprise. He had expected the room to be simple, but it was far too luxurious.

Moreover, what was even more surprising was that both noble and commoner students had this kind of luxurious room.

“Woah, the academy sure is rich.”
