Chapter 1340 The Right Room
When the first group was nearly complete, the teachers brought out another bunker full of students, and the explanations were given again before the process repeated.
As the students began to tell each other about the rooms that had already been opened, using the information from the students who had gone earlier and stopped to gossip before moving to their new dorm, the process became faster.
No longer did they have to guess what the basic features were, that was becoming common knowledge, along with what rooms were best for what classes.
Soon, they were able to move through cadets four and five at a time, with only a small portion going to check out specific rooms to see if there was something about them that would set them above the others in their minds.
That was making those at the end of the line concerned that they would not be able to get the rooms that they wanted, and Karl could tell that there was a good chance of a disturbance coming, so he decided to give them a bit of good
news.
"Students, relax. The dorms for the junior and senior classes are different buildings. There is no need to fear that the influx of new warriors will take all the good rooms. There are many suitable rooms left in the senior class dorms, and most of you will even be able to choose an upper or lower floor for your dorm." He called.
"Is the new academy that much larger?" One of the Commander Rank mages asked.
"It's nearly triple the capacity of the one that was here yesterday. Both in instruction building size and dorm capacity.
Fortunately for you, we also built indoor walkways between most of the buildings, so you can quickly and easily make it between your classes." Karl agreed.
It would actually be faster in some cases to go outside and run across the open ground around the Trial Tower to get to classes on the far side of the web. But they would realize that over the next few days as they got used to the layout of the new design.
While the students checked into their dorms, Karl checked in with Tessa and Thor to see how the rebuilding of Drodh was going.
Thor's mental voice was unconcerned as he detailed the situation.
[We have food stations set up in four spots around the city. Lotus and Ophelia have moved down by the docks because there are still ships coming in with wounded and damages. Some of the sea monsters escaped, but didn't go far. The medicine has spread all through the city, we gave it to everyone who would accept help.
What else is there?
Oh, right. The Dwarves are competing to see which side of the river will get more visitors once they're finished, and they're rebuilding the Sprawl into a decent neighbourhood.
I still think that they're building too many houses for a herd this size, but Dwarves can count, so they probably know what they're doing.
We've got a lot of new people here now, but the city outside the wall is rebuilding fast.
Wendy's dad and the furniture Dryads are making them materials to rebuild outside the city, just piles and piles of bulk metal sheets and boards.
The houses there were never good, but now they'll at least be made without leaks for a little while.
Someone is making bricks too, but that's on the outskirts.
The Alchemists say that they need the Tiny World opened soon. They are almost out of healing potion materials, and they need some other rare stuff that's only in there.]
Karl made a mental note to check on the supplies in Remi's space as well. She had to be low by now, as she was donating to the Alchemists twice a day.
But before anything else, Karl reopened the Tiny World entrance in the Zilaz Alliance House so that it could be accessed by the Guild Members who needed it, and the residents of the Tiny World could move about as they needed.
Not that they ever really left. But with emergencies going on, they might invite people in or take on a mission outside.
[Thank you. Oh, Button just went by looking for Lotus, should I have someone follow her?]
[Yes. Don't let her out of your sight until there is a guardian on her. If the little dragon wanders away, it will take days to find her again.] Karl replied.
It actually wouldn't. The Red Dragons had a tracking spell on her, and they would be alerted in the next few seconds that she had managed to run away. [Bertie is here with Lyric. They will catch the runaway.] Thor added a few seconds later.
Leo laughed at the chaos as he floated above Karl's head, deciphering the new skills that he had been granted. The clerics hadn't been stingy, so there were a lot of new spells for him to use.
He just needed to master them a little better. However, Rae objected to him growing vines up the sides of the buildings, no matter how cool it would be to
have flowering dorms.
This place also couldn't grow coconut trees, which was a disappointment.
What was a world without coconuts?
From Thor's thoughts, getting enough people to come and help out with Drodh during their time of need was not going to be an issue.
Their home nations trying to get them back home after were the ones who were in for a hard time.
Once the Dwarves had custom-built a new city to their own specifications, in an attempt to make it as profitable as they could, given the mostly Demon and Orc population of Drodh, there wouldn't be a lot of incentive for most of these craftsmen to leave.
At best, they might be lured back by a higher quality of living than what Drodh could provide, given their lower power level. But with so much Immortal Realm mana soaked into everything, that might not be true for much longer.
