Max arrived at the university dorm and was stupefied by the sheer enormity of the structure.
The university itself was built on a large floating Asteroid orbiting a red giant, In a neighbourhood Asteroid belt to the tier 1 planet DewStar and was considered to be a part of a ' Wild - Zone ' by the system.
The location of the university made it a safe environment for studies, however, to have the students not feeling like they were living on a rock, it had all the modern amenities imaginable.
This was evident by the dorm area as there were seven, 30 storey buildings running in a straight line for over 3 kilometres as dorm wings labelled A to G
Beside the residential wings, there was an equally large food and mess hall that could seat upto 50,000 students at once and beside the mess was a large sports and recreational centre.
The dorm area was about 10 kilometres away from the main University grounds and everything inside the dorm area was payable through gold, which was in stark contrast to accessing the facilities within the university area which were payable through merit points.
The dorm area only had a recreational zone, but the training grounds were within the university campus and accessible through merit points only.
Max and Asiva were both assigned to share a room in dorm wing D, on floor 19th room number 2001.
The university did not have any reservations with banding male and female students in the same rooms, this had led to some parents protesting for this system to be changed a few years ago, but their request was brutally shot down by the principal.
The principal believed that there was no male/ female segregation in the real world and since the university was preparing the students to face the real world, there was no need for creating such a sheltered environment.
If a student got distracted and filled with lust during his stay in the dorms of the university then it was his/her own problem and not the university's.
It was a practical approach, but one that undoubtedly led to a lot of young teenage female students becoming pregnant every single year, with the number of half-breed offspring's far surpassing the number of pure-breed children.
Max stood gawking at the buildings, feeling impressed by the massive size of the university, however his dallying was cut short by a crisp question by Asiva
" You coming? Or you gonna waste more time? ".
For a moment Max did not realise that Asiva was talking to him, it was the first time she had ever spoken to him and it felt odd.
However, the moment he realised the meaning behind her words, he started walking towards the dorm room with hurried steps.
The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder, their red eyes scanning everyone around them as they passed a crowd of all kinds of aliens.
Angels, Goblins, Elves, Humans, Vampires, Werewolves, Beast men, Dragons, Orcs, Pixies…..
Max counted 17 races in just under 5 minutes of looking around as he realised just how big of a heterogeneous crowd he was walking through.
Everyone looked burning with passion, as most stood around trying to network, trying to make connections as fast as possible.
Max could already see little circles forming, groups that would stay together for a while, pretend to like each other, but then inevitably break apart when the competition started to get real.
Neither Asiva, nor Max seemed interested in talking to a single soul as the two made way to the dorm room, navigating through a sea of people.
The dorm room was spacious considering it was for two people.
There were two separate small bedrooms, one common bathroom and a small living room.
There was a small metal window connecting the two bedrooms that could be opened or shut from both sides, supposedly to be used for communication.
Asiva picked the room on the right and threw her books and robes on the bed, as Max took the one on the left and settled inside.
Max laid down on the bed, and found it to be not too soft and not too firm which was exactly how he liked it.
Putting his hands behind his head, Max laid down on the bed and looked towards the ceiling, trying to soak in the knowledge he had gathered about the university today.
While everything else seemed to be alright, there were two major things that were bothering Max.
Max wanted to talk to Asiva about it, but before he could, a school announcement ran over the speakers installed in all dorm rooms.
" Good evening students, This is the principal of the Grand University For Nourishment Of Young Talents speaking.
I will now read the university rules only once, so pay attention.
*) There will only be three shuttles with a capacity of 1000 students/ shuttle departing for university every hour. The first shuttle departs at 7 am in the morning and the last one to come back is at 11 pm in the evening.
*) The lecture hours are 9-11 and 2-4 daily with the only dining area in the university being within the residential area.
*) There are monsters ranging from level 5 to level 100 in the 10 kilometres stretch between the dorm area and the campus, with PVP legal within this stretch of 10 kilometres.
*) Attacking the shuttle is not allowed, fighting within the campus is not allowed, fighting within the dorms is not allowed, breaking these rules will result in public whipping and deduction of merit points, while repeated offences may lead to expulsion.
*) The university A.I. ' Varsity ' monitors every kill registered within the wild-zone and depending on the difficulty of the kill, she will assign you merit points.
*) Every facility within the university area can only be availed through payment of merit points and you need to have a net total earning of 100,000 merit points at the end of the year to be considered as a graduate, amongst other criteria's.
*) The price of every lecture is decided by the professors themselves, while the price of using university facilities like libraries and training grounds is fixed per hour.
*) While you only need 100,000 merit points to pass, there are 220,000 active students in the university and only the top 10,000 on the merit list can pass with distinction. Since it's your first day I will generously give you all a thousand merit points to start with, but from here on out, you are on your own. Goodluck!
