The Second Hand of Time

CHAPTER FOUR I WAS PLACED TO A CLASS OF TROUBLEMAKERS

Today is the first day of my class. As expected, I will be put in the last section even if the results are higher.

Yesterday, I transferred into the school's dormitory for the last section.

Yes, the school has its own dormitory. The dormitory I was in is kind of in a bad condition, which is expected due to me being a student from the last section. The first section is probably in bliss with their fully air conditioned dormitory. In here, we share beds, and four students must occupy a single room. Water is not flowing in the sink, so we have to get water from the tap inside the bathroom. That is also where we get the water we use for our hygienic necessities such as brushing our teeth, et cetera, et cetera.

We can hang our wet clothes on the balcony as we are on the third floor of this dormitory building.

Anyway, on this room, I live with Clifford Mahlon, a genius (or geek) math prodigy called Dan Mitten who is only twelve years old, and a pervert called Tom Seeker who takes pictures of half-naked women while changing.

We all arrived in this dorm yesterday and this room has our names on it, which means, this will be our room.

Some can go to their respective homes after class, but I live so far away, so I will have to endure this situation, even for a year.

I woke up first today which means I get to shower first.

The shower was so cold it felt like I was a guy in the movie, The Titanic.

I finished showering before the others woke up so I don't have to worry about the issues about the water supply in this room.

Inside the room are two beds, one dusty cabinet, and one old ceiling fan. Cobwebs decorated the ceiling and the windows are full of dust. The place looks cleaned for about a year ago.

Since we have only two beds, I share the bed with Clifford who is still asleep by now.

Dan is awake, and Tom is still asleep his hand on his most treasured camera which has captured a lot of unnecessary images.

Dan was playing on his cellphone something which is probably about things only geek people could understand.

I was pretty excited about going to school today because as Mr. Theodore has said, he will get me a weapon for free.

Speaking of weapons, Clifford's sword-Sanctifier is below the bed, resting inside the weapon sheathe.

Dan is a healer, and his staff was lying beside their bed. As for Tom, I'm not really quite sure about his weapon, but it was supposed to be traps, for he is a ninja. He can be really stealthy as a ghost, and can be really stupid most of the time. He makes traps that once stepped, a strong gust of wind explodes, flipping every girl's skirt up, and Tom goes into the spotlight, taking the opportunity to take every photo of underwear. In short, he is every woman's enemy.

Dan is quite popular among the girls for he is still twelve, and a genius. I am not even sure how he ended up here in class F. He arrived yesterday, and he thinks that what Tom was doing is disgusting. I agree too.

I looked at my appearance at the mirror as I fixed my hair. My hair is still quite wet, so I wiped it with my towel.

I have the height of about 5'8 and much shorter than Clifford. Clifford chose the path of being a swordsman. As for me, I'm still unsure because I don't have my own weapon(yet) and if I have a rapier or something similar, I could be a swash buckler or a mercenary.

Speaking of weapons, the students of the combat arts curriculum must choose their own path/class of battle. There are a lot of options like guardian, lancer, swordsman, archer, mage, and healer.
