Shadows of our end - KDA x Male Reader (Original)

Act 1 - 003

With my hands in my pockets, I watch the rest of the students all hover around till they tell us how this dorm situation is going to work. They usually take a hundred or so students a year but they use a mixed-dorm system with rooms ranging from two to three people.

I hope I am the only lucky guy who manages to get the room and not share it with anyone else. Would work out perfectly for me to do what I want to do.

"Keep that card with you at all times, your initial fee for getting into the school is what made it, don't ever lose it or you will have to pay the same fee. It will be your way through everything and everywhere on campus. It is tied to you and your biometrics. Nobody else can use it."

Then lifting a phone, "Scan the code on the back of it to download an app to track it wherever it is, it can not be destroyed by regular means either. So don't worry about it breaking, if it does break, just bring us the card and we can either fix or replace it for free."

Simple enough.

"Dorm rooms are first come first serve."

Guess I didn't have to worry about winning or losing the race, I just needed to make sure that I got a good enough room for me and with my powers I would be able to get into a room just fine.

"All of the dorms look the same. You are allowed to change it whichever way you want, don't care if you want to share it with a boy or a girl. Your life here is dependent on what you do. If you get someone pregnant? You both are kicked out. Break property? You either fix it, pay for it or get charged for vandalizing property."

This just sounds like a: please be safe, we know there is no point stopping you from being horny but just for the love of god please be safe. 

"Go!" the spokesperson calls out and I instantly step forward to flow through everyone and head for the second floor.

Inside long before any of them got through the front doors - I then zip to the end of the hall placing my card against the lock and the door opens after notifying me I am registered to this room now.

Should have looked at it first.

I step inside to see that both ends are symmetrical small living spaces with everything you'd need. I am not a fan of the red but I can sort it out.

Nice space for books and I got a free laptop. Saves me from having to spend money to have something to work on. I claim the right-hand side of the room and drop down on the bed shutting my eyes.

Might have to rearrange it but that depends on who I am sharing the room with. Thinking about it would just be better for me if it was with another guy.

The door opens while I stare emptily at the roof. "Hope you weren't saving for someone," a girl.

I shake my head. "I am not.

"Psychokinesis," she states. I lift myself to get a better look at her.

"Smokes and Shadow-"

Arching one eyebrow, "Must mean you are the champion of Arena 1, right?"

"That's me." I nod returning the same cold expression.

Then walking straight to her side of the room I can see that the bags are already there. I just have this feeling the two of us are going to get along swell. Champion of Arena 1... quite a title. I don't know anybody but that is probably because I am not paying any attention to the leaderboards.

Psychokinesis... must mean she probably won in whatever arena she was in. Would have been a real bitch to fight against her. Don't know if she can toss me around if I am just smoke and shadows.

I then call out my name, "(Y/N)."

"Rey," she answers in an unenthusiastic tone.

Pretty much everyone here looks young. Younger than me at least. I am a late bloomer in any case, could have gotten in last year but even if I had the money I'd probably be wiped across the floor.

I push myself off of the bed and head to the door, it slides open and I can suddenly hear the ruckus going on with people shoving and pushing people for rooms. I shut the door behind me and notice that there is a faint red glow probably showing that it is fully occupied.

I make my way out of this place and to the gates outside, leaning against them I make a call, "Take your time answering."

Then answering the call, "You calling me must mean you got in."

I nod. "How could you tell?"

"You wouldn't have told me," then adding, "So? Relatively easy?"

"Yeah - think I lucked out. Got a lot of fire slingers."

"That is fortunate," she adds, "didn't even need to adapt strategy because you could use the same one. Did you manage to use the other thing?"

"The clone? Felt like I was kicked in the gut. Had to finish him off by crushing him with the shadows and that took everything that was left in me."

"You will get used to it," she breathes out, I then hear someone walk up to her saying something in the distance before she states, "There are a lot of things out there that you will face for the first time, be careful."

"Going to do my best."

"Proud of you, I have to go," she cuts the call before I get a chance to say goodbye.

I crack a small smile - proud of me huh? Really couldn't lead up with that, could you? It might not feel like much but I am happy that she is proud of me. 

Glancing down at the little card to inspect it;  there isn't much about it. I guess I just have to keep it as close to me as possible. As far as I know, we have free reign to explore for most of the week because the teachers all still need to come back from their vacation.

Gives us some time to get used to it I think. I phase through the metal gate and head straight to the main building.

This place works on a credit system. Apparently, as long as we pay for our month here we get virtual credits that allow us to pay for a lot of the services on campus. You can use cash if you really need to but I don't know if the exchange rate works out to be much more expensive.

On my way, I text my sister just in case before she thinks that I think that she isn't important enough to let her know that I made it through. I bet the schools were watching everything and announced on TV the top students.

I hope to hear from her sooner rather than later.
