A high pitch ring sounded, waking me instantly and causing me to roll out of my bed and hit the ground hard. I got up off the ground quickly and spun around on the spot looking to where the sound was coming from, I spun too fast and fell back onto the bed next to mine. I closed my eyes while falling, but as soon as I stopped moving, I opened them.

Titan was staring down at me, a weight in his hand. I had only just missed him and was lying down behind his back.

"Morning," he smiled at me before continuing lifting his weights. I slowly lifted myself up so I was now sitting next to Titan.

"What was that?" As I asked, Orilina rose up out of her bed on the other side of mine and stretched, putting her arms down by her side perfectly.

"My alarm." She looked at me and her hair was still the same as when she went to sleep; perfect.

"Oh well, what's the time?" I asked curiously as I looked around at the overly cramped room, our things littered the ground.

"It's eight o'clock, our first class is at nine." She informed me as she hopped out of bed and started putting on her uniform. The girl's uniform was a plaid, dark, blood/maroon red short dress over a respectful white shirt with a thin bow, this was accompanied by a dark wood-like short over-coat with bronze trimming.

"You guys are up late." Newton whispered to us as he opened the dorm room door and tiptoed in, his words slurred.

"At least we went to sleep, spiky." Titan chuckled beside me. I looked at Newton, it looked like he hadn't had one ounce of sleep since the ride over, he had bags under his eyes and was holding empty coffee cups. I then looked to Titan, he wasn't much better, seems like he has been weight lifting for most of the morning.

I got up off the ground and walked towards the door, after Newton had returned to his bed I proposed an idea.

"It's obvious there isn't enough room in here so we need to make some changes. Now I was thinking we could push all the beds together and move them into the corner, then we could have our clothes and weapons on the other side of the room, which would also give us foot space."

"You want us to all sleep together? No way!" Orilina shouted at me.

"It's an efficient way to do things." Newton added.

"Doesn't bother me." Titan said as he got up off his bed and started pushing them all together.

"I never agreed to this!" Orilina complained as she tried to push Titan out of the way.

"You don't actually have to share a bed with them, we're just pushing them together, plus if you really need to you can sleep on an end." Orilina sighed a 'fine' and let Titan get to work while Newton and I started organizing the weapons.

After we were finished renovating the rest of us got changed into our uniforms and waited for Orilina to make sure everything looked proper, then we set off to our first class.

"Liasnarks as some of you may be aware of are giant lizards, most of which have spiked tails, but unlike other lizards these Grimm not only regenerate tails but every limb, even their heads! Which make them great opponents if you don't know how to kill it." Our professor was explaining a few Grimm to us, Orilina was taking a few notes here and there, Newton was furiously scribbling notes and diagrams down and Titan, well, Titan was drawing animals with funny hats on, the first was a lizard that had a sombrero and the second was a peacock that had a party hat. The peacock was telling the lizard how there wasn't any tacos at the party. "Liasnarks are very rare around here, but can be found quite commonly in other parts of the world."
