It is my 2nd year going to Stradivarius School. My old friend decided to not going to join this campus anymore and start on their own journey. What's happened in the past stay in the past.
This year the school invite all age and gender to join in. I can see all kind of children start at 7 of age. Female student come in with their personal maid to make sure their life a bit easier. At this age, even going to the bathroom can be scary especially for young ladies.
Before we were sent to our dorm, we were gathering at the main hall for opening ceremony. After that, each student has to choose their course of the years and pick their books. I meat 2 of new student, 2 female juniors who is 5 years younger than me. One of them hide their head in a paper bag with two hole to see and the other has a very cheerful, giggling all the time. They are from the commoner family wearing simple cotton plain dress.
The giggling girl came to me while I'm searching for my own books saying that she wants to exchange book with me. I agree and we exchanged. I gave her a novel about a dark romance while she gave me a book about satanic ritual. I was surprised. After saying a few words, we departed to our own way.
Then came the other girl who has a paper bag on her head gave me a book about formula and chemical to invoke the spirit. When I try to gave her a book from myself where I thought she want to exchange books, she declines and said this book was a present. I then gladly take it from her, she soon left.
This time we allowed to bring maid or attendant or even a pet to our campus. So, I did bring few of my cats with me. 4 cats, 3 male and 1 female. Other student seems to bring pets as well and some of them are not in cage, wondering around, running around, attacking other people or do whatever they please. It was chaos.
I'm lucky to able to live at the dorm room I used last years. Unfortunately, the state of the building is like an old ruin. Not just this dorm, every dorm is. The dorm keeper is changed and now is a man near 50 of age and basically normal looking fellow. Every dorm was filthy and I demand an explanation. He said, there was an early student come in having reunited party last night and all of them having a bad hangover somewhere and they haven't wake up to clean the mess. I was so disgusted and simple blast everything in the living area of filth out from the window and door.
When I'm trying to get to my floor, the light is broken. The stair has mushroom and bush vain growing on every step. I wonder if the dorm is still alive or not. Everything is look abandoned.
I put my thing in my room and let my cat out from their cage so they can walk around in my room. After that I go out from the dorm to get something for my studies material and when on my way down, I meet new student living at the first floor, she said hallo and smile. Nice and gentle. Took me almost 30 minutes before I get back to my dorm again and when I get to my room, my cat is gone, I called for them and shout for them, they didn't come out.
My voice made the dorm keeper, the first-floor student and a female teacher who coincidently walk past in front of the door, she seems drunk as hell. I ask them if they had seen my cat? The first student tells me where the cat and it give me pure sadness and rage.
"I drown them all because I hate cats", she said.
I push her off the stair rail and while she still hanging on the rail, I get the hammer and nail, I nailed her hand on the rail. The dorm keeper and the female teacher seems having fun watching all of that even cheering on me. The dorm keeper then pulls the leg of the first student who is hanging and screaming of pain while her both hand nail on the rail.
"Sinner is punished by hanging to death!" the dorm keeper shout while he has his happiest smile on his face.
At that moment, the student who live in the second floor come out with a knife in his hand from his room. The dorm keeper said, "You finally came out after killing and eating all your guest you've invite last night. Now, come clean the mess downstair."
The first-floor student hanging in pain, the second-floor student go clean after his massacre, the dorm keeper singing while drinking with the drunk female teacher and I the third-floor student, sat in my room holding all 4 cold body of my cats.
