Chapter 3

• I instantly turned towards the gate at the sight of the same Alpha I was trying to evade.
• Something wasn’t right at all!
• In the comic, the Alpha didn’t arrive until the next day. That was how he was able to meet Brys who was also late.
• However, the said Alpha was standing behind me.
• “Hey, Omega.” He called out.
• “Oh my, the one you are trying to evade is right behind you.” My stupid system chuckled.
• “Just shut up!” I snapped at him.
• At the same time, the gate to the academy got opened by one of the new omega teachers they got.
• “Good morning, teacher!” I greeted.
• Without further wasting time, I ran into the academy and dashed for the third building.
• I only turned when I got to the building. However, the Alpha was still standing by the gate, with a scowl on his face as he conversed with the teacher.
• “That was close.” I placed a palm on my chest.
• “Do you think you can continue evading him? This is a story, Brys. I hope you are aware that everything has been predestined?” My stupid system raised a brow.
• “Predestined my foot.” I strode to the front door and knocked. “I won’t let Brys go through all he went through.”
• I’m not as dense as the Brys the stupid author wrote about. I have a life, and I’m here to show everyone what an Omega is capable of.
• As luck will have it, I was assigned to one of the rooms allocated to the Omegas in the academy.
• This way, I have indirectly avoided the last room in the dorm, which happened to be on the wings of the Alphas.
• That room was one of Brys’ problems, and I’ve solved it. The next is to find a way to get rid of Storm before he develops the thoughts to harm me.
• “As much as I love how to quiet your cottage was, I think this place is dope.” My system plopped down on the bed beside the window. “God, it’s been long since I lay on something so soft.”
• I frowned at his words. “Where did you come from?”
• Could he also be like me?
• He shrugged. “I guess I came from the same place as you. One moment, I was going grocery shopping, and the next moment, I found myself here.” He placed his hands under him and glanced up at the ceiling.
• “You were human?” I sat down on the bed opposite the one my system was on. “Where did you live? Which part of the planet—”
• A knock on the door cut my words short.
• “Your roommate is here.” My system smirked. “You might have escaped the last room in the dorm, but now, you’ve earned yourself a roommate.” He giggled as if there were anything funny with what he just said.
• “Well, it’s better this way.” I rose from the bed and headed over to the door.
• Had Brys been fortunate to have a roommate, I doubt he would have ended the way he did.
• Perhaps, his roommate might have spoken some sense into his dense mentality.
• I opened the door and was met with the blinding smile of an Omega.
• His red hair which was so much like mine was tied up in a bun, with a few cascading down his pretty face.
• The omega in front of me was just a head-foot shorter than me.
• “Hi, I’m Ray,” his green eyes sparkled. “I’m your roommate, I guess.”
• “I’m Me— Brys.” I moved to the side and gestured for him to enter. “I’m pleased to meet you.”
• Ray chuckled. “Thank you. I’m so damned excited to start a new year in the academy!”
• “Me too.” I closed the door and faced him.
• “So, which side are you taking?” He turned to me with bright sparkling eyes.
• Jeez man, can you be less excited?
• “The one by the window.” I pointed to the one my system was lying on.
• The damn fool was already sound asleep.
• So much for being a system.
• “That’s great!” Ray hurried over to the other bed and dropped his bag beside him. “Which class are you in? Beginner or Intermediate?”
• “Aren’t we all beginners?” I went over to my side of the room and sat on the bed.
• “Oh.” He nervously chuckled. “I presumed you were already in the Intermediate classes.”
• “Nah, I’m just a beginner. And you?” I raised a brow.
• “I’m also a beginner. It’s simply that I studied here a year ago as a visiting student. This is my first proper year in the academy.”
• “Oh.” I nodded.
• In the comic, many students were privileged enough to be visiting students. Only a few attended those classes, and Storm was among them.
• Ray rose from the bed he was sitting on and started arranging his books and clothes.
• “Do you know who Storm is?”
• The book, Ray was holding, clattered to the ground.
• He turned to me with a scared expression on his face. “Wh… Why did you ask?” He stuttered.
• I shrugged. “I met him when I came. He—”
• Ray ran over to me. “Avoid him!” He knelt in front of me and placed a hand on my thighs. “Storm is bad news. Avoid anything relating to him!”
• His actions made me raise a brow. “Why? Is he that bad?”
• I pretended as if I weren’t aware of his bad that damned Alpha is.
• “He’s the worst! Don’t ever get yourself alone in a room with him. I heard he eats Omegas for lunch.” Ray looked frantic.
• Well, the rumours weren’t all lies.
• Storm does ‘eat’ omegas for lunch. Brys was a perfect example of that.
• All Storm had to do was fake a small smile, and he had Brys wrapped around his pinky.
• “You don’t have to worry about me.” I grinned. “Alphas are dirty. I don’t like them.”
• “Good. We Omegas need to stick together. We can’t allow the Alphas to bully us any more.” Ray rose from his kneeling position. “Since I’m more knowledgeable about this academy than you, we need to stick together. This way, we can watch each other’s back.”
• “That’s a deal.” I beamed. “I’m glad to make your acquittance, Ray.”
• “Me too.” He grinned.
• This is the first step. I’ve managed to evade the Alpha and the last room in the dorm. And I’ve made a new friend.
• Things are looking good from my side.
