Metanoia; The Hybrid
CHAPTER O7: THE NEW STUDENTS ORIENTATION.

After walking straight we arrived at a crossroad. Then we turned left like a group of Angels and Demons. There is a bridge in front of it that connects to another building. Not entirely a bridge, it's the same hallway but the walls are open freely.

"Totally separated?" Selena surprised.

"Yes, it is."

I looked down there from the bridge barrier, it was just like the bridge in front. I can't imagine how this bridge suddenly collapsed to the bottom of the river with a deadly current down there.

We arrived at a different building, this empty hallway led us to a very large room.This room consists of two fireplaces on the right and left sides, which are very large, tables and couches, or cabinets containing awards.

"It's a living room, a place to gather, relax, like a family" Declan said.

We went in and explored our eyes to see this incredible room.

"Cool!" Screeched Jack.

"And where's our room?" Ask Ardan.

"The Lycanthrope dormitory is on the seventh floor."

We were surprised simultaneously, "Huh?!!"

Who would have expected to spend seven years here with a room on the seventh floor? It's gonna be exhausting, I guess?

"Why don't the Fairy or Angel only occupy the seventh floor? They'll fly" Edward protested.

"You think I didn't ask that question either when I first stepped on this place?" Reply Declan.

Declan directed us to the middle, and hinted we were sitting on the couch or standing up to listen. The whole group has gathered and come forward as I feel the hostel leaders.

"Welcome to Danveurn State Academy. I know you're quite tired from the long journey to this place. But, before you rest, I want to explain the rules you have to abide by here" Declan said.

I held my body and stood still, until Dylan approached me, "I think this is gonna be fun?"

"I hope so" I responded.

"Before that, meet me head of the Lycanthrope House, Declan Cole. The Vampires, Imber Hawkslane. Wizard, Laurell Flaire. Fairy, Monroe Bellamy. Mermaid, Riley Eugene. Angel and Demon, Odellia Verleight and Rheatt Arcelle" Declan said, introducing the board leaders.

"The rules that you must obey are, you must listen to the instructions given. You are forbidden to exit the Academy area and explore the valley outside of permission. You can't get out of the dorm at ten in the night. You can't hurt each other, except outside the Academy. For anyone caught sneaking out or attacking each other for any reason, you will be punished severely or the biggest consequence will be, expelled from the Academy" Declan explained.

"I don't want to hear anyone is in trouble, if you have personal business, please settle it outside" said the Demon Nation's dormitory chief, Rheatt.

We answered, "Good."

"Now, you change your clothes and we'll do the orientation. Meet us in the intersection hallway" said Imber, the head of the Vampire Nation dormitory.

The head of the Fairy Nation dorm smiled, "Already, disperse and head to your respective rooms. The left staircase is for women's rooms and the right one is for men's rooms. Please, please..."

I stared at Dylan for a moment, "They're carrying our suitcases?"

"There's a Wizard Nation here, they must have done it, I guess?"

"Yes, maybe."

Dylan and I had to split up when he got to his room. I went back up the stairs with my flock to the room where our room was. It turned out like I thought.

"His room joins the upperclassmen?" Ask Chlea the Beta.

"Yes, it's a little strange because it's just a row of seven doors around the seventh floor. Let's go to our room" take me while walking.

Jack and Ardan pulled over to look down, "I think I'm going to throw up" Ardan said as he became aware of his elevation.

"Stay away from that balcony" I pulled Ardan straight away. He's totally nuts.

After I read the writings on each door, I believe our room is at the very end there. We walked in a large hallway that was quite enlivened by people. Sure enough, at the end there was a door that read our names.

When we opened, we were given a beautiful view. I know this must be magic interference from the Wizard Nation or Fairy. Because this room shouldn't be so big.

"That's big!" Jack and Ardan were together. They ran inside to look deeper.

"The forest in the room? They are bad at decorating" Edward said.

I've never seen magic in my life, maybe. But, this is amazing. I could feel the translucent sunlight between the leaves, or the sound of insects as if they were music to us. I guess it's not that bad.

"Our room is up there?" Chlea asked pointing to a large tree in front of us.

Me and the others looked up, right up there were our mattresses, cabinets, tables and other utensils, as if the tree was a treehouse.

"It's really fun, I want the top room!!" Jack runs and climbs a ladder hanging by a rope to get up there.

"Ahh you cheated!!" So did Ardan who did not want to lose.

"I guess seven years here doesn't matter?" Chlea.

"I'm from Armagh, not far from here" then Chlea went up and after me.

"Armagh? Beautiful region" I adore.

"It's a tourist's frequent arrival, I wonder, have you ever been to Armagh?" Ask.

"I never knew my own country. I'm not that easy to get out, maybe even to see the moon through my bedroom window" I explained.

Then we got to the top and Chlea spoke again, "So that's the life of a Royal Prince?"

"For those who are lucky, maybe even they forget what it's like to be cooped up in the house and do nothing. I just wish I was a little lucky, and this Academy is my choice."

My bed and Chlea were in the same section, which was a coincidence. I immediately opened the closet next to my mattress and was quite surprised to see the contents of my luggage arranged in there. Immediately I took off my clothes to replace them with the given uniform.

"So your goal is to choose the Academy to be able to get out of the Kingdom?" Ask continues.

"Don't you recognize me?"

"As a Prince of the Angkara Kingdom?"

"As someone with a bad destiny."

I'm done with my clothes, white shirt, tie and suit and long pants in cream mixed with brown, white to black. I took the degger I kept and put it on my waist. I just don't want to get away with this thing.

"What a bad destiny, everything looks normal in my eyes" said Chlea who kept me quiet.

But I said, "I doubt myself."

Chlea walked over and patted me on the shoulder, "If you doubt, then you won't find the answer you're looking for."

I fell silent for a moment and smiled at Chlea. He really showed that he was a Beta.

After we changed clothes, I went down together with the others to go to the intersection hallway earlier. We were with Declan, according to each group first went and then followed by another group.

Declan led us to the opposite direction from the student dormitory. At the end of the hall is an open door. When we got out, we saw a very large plantation. There are greenhouses that contain various plants, including those in open ground. We walked around this huge garden in the corridor.

"All kinds of plants are here. Herbs or as consumption" explained Declan while showing the parts in intent.

Many disciples were busy here, some of them even flapped their wings to fly over the large trees in this garden. They take large round-shaped fruits that are red in color, or pluck white flowers up there.

"What are they picking?" My toot.

"Fruits and flowers, it will be processed into herbal medicine" Declan explained.

We circled the garden for a while to look at the various plants I had never known. After that, we went back to where we all were, to the crossroad.

"This second building consists of only three floors. In the first floor, of course, you can see many rooms that are used as biological and chemical laboratories because of their location adjacent to the garden. But on the left, which is close to the bridge, is the compounding room for medicines and herbs" said the chairman of our dormitory.

We walked straight and found two rooms after the laboratory and the compounding room.

"This is a gym equipment room, there are many tools in storage. You can wear it during a physical lesson, it all depends on your teacher later. Then here eleven is the armory, only people who get permission can go in there."

I peeked over to see the various weapons hanging on the wall. They have a lot of weapons that could possibly be used in a single war.

From here we walked and ended up with an open hallway. I could see the bright light there.

"Before going there, I would like to say that on the second floor is only the medical part of the Academy. This is the hospital for everyone here. And, on the third floor, you don't need to know" Declan said.

"You're not gonna tell me?" My toot.

"That's nothing, it's just a big room that no student here has ever visited. We never knew what it was, which is clear there are rumors that it's a horror place."

"H-horror.." Fear Chlea.

"Yes, horror. Sometimes if you have a chance at night, you can hear footsteps or even like there are a lot of people running in it. That floor was never opened."

"You mean, the third floor's in the lock?" This time Edward spoke.

"You're absolutely right, so there's no point in us going there."

It makes me really curious. But, if the room is in the lock, the only way is to find the key.

"And up ahead there is a landing field" Declan said as he walked into the open hallway. We followed him from behind.

Then we arrived at an open field surrounded by spectator seats. With a stretch of green grass of the same size, making this tanding area so interesting.

"This area can be used at any time. Training, exams, or matches. Only in this area can you hurt each other. That's why this place is nicknamed the 'Vengeful Drug', because only with this place can you solve your respective affairs" Declan explained to me satisfied.

I can't wait to start my day here.
