Chapter 5 - New Job

9:31 AM, Rhodes Island, Floor 21, Dorm F.

Zorn wakes up slowly from a good night's rest after the nightmare he just had, he gets up and rubs his eyes.

He then sees his roommate, Flamebringer, preparing and dressing up, seemingly ready for a leaving, until he saw Zorn wake up.

"..Do you usually wake up at this hour?" Flamebringer asked the subconscious Zorn.

"..Mmm, what time even is it?" Zorn replied to his question with his own.

"It's 9:31 AM." Flamebringer answered his question.

"..Weird, I don't usually wake up at this time, must have probably been me enjoying my dreams." Zorn returned the favour by answering Flamebringer's question.

Zorn then caught a glimpse of his blade being on his back, and asked a question.

"Where are you going, if I may ask?" Zorn inquired him out of the blue, catching Flamebringer's awareness.

"Just some normal mercenary work that Kal'tsit has assigned me to do, no need to worry about me." Flamebringer replied in an assuring tone.

"..Mmm, goodluck then." Zorn waved a hand as Flamebringer was by the door, ready to leave.

"Thank you." Flamebringer said as he waved a hand back, and exited the dorm.

As Flamebringer left the room, Zorn got up from his bed and thought of getting a shower first before continuing his late morning. So he did exactly that and hurried to the restroom to do some necessary proper hygiene.

Timeskip

9:57 AM, Rhodes Island, Floor 21, Dorm F.

Zorn went out of the restroom as he fidgets a small bundle of his newly washed hair, he then glanced at the clock.

"9:58 AM"

"..I should really prepare faster than that if I ever get an occupation here." Zorn thought inside.

He then went to the closet and took out the phone, the card and the map as he planned to start off his day with a nice breakfast, after that? Do absolutely nothing but sit around the dorm until something happens or the day passes, just like what he did when he was still in Lungmen.

Zorn sighed at this thought as he realizes at how boring and eventful his life was, being taken into a city by a small group of officers, being taken to a pharmaceutical company that has mercenaries right after and then sitting here doing nothing.

The only time that he was ever genuinely content was when he got that friendly spar from Broca that lasted about 12 seconds approximate, but at least that made him and happy for a short period of time.

Zorn finished his train of thoughts as he then went out of his room once he realizes that he doesn't need his card to swipe against the card scanner to open and close the door, and go to the cafeteria because he memorized the path there.

And just few moments of walking down the hallways and stairs, he finally reached the cafeteria and was standing in front of it.

Succeeding to catch the attention of several other operators by just standing there with his presence, he proceeded to go inside the cafeteria to pick up his own tray and go choose some food.

Zorn perceived on the amount of various foods there were in the cafeteria, a lot od different tastes for his tongue to enjoy.

As he finished selecting his food though, he just ended up with a tray of rice and some steak, along with a bottle of water, it's not much but it's what he normally eats.
