<h4>Chapter 34: First Room Mate</h4>


    The admissions office clerk looked at Rocky and his approval form and frowned deeply.


    He was a goblin by race and goblins in general had a reputation for being a race that was obsessed with wealth.


    While not all goblins were the same, the admissions clerk was certainly someone who loved money more than anything in his life.


    "You don''t have to pay money? What garbage is this? This has never happened in the history of the university-" The clerk protested as he felt the urge to tear up Rocky''s eptance letter.


    "This can''t be.... I must check with my superiors" he said, mumbling to himself as he left his post and ran off on his tiny legs to a superior''s office, leaving Rocky waiting for his robes and dorm key.


    " Hey, puny human, where did the admission clerk run off to?" Asked the guy waiting in line behind him, as Rocky turned to face him.


    Behind him stood an orc, easily over 9 feet in height and five feet in width, looking like a mammoth figure with two golden rings encasing his tusks that extended out of his lower lips and went beyond his nose.


    "I have no idea, giant orc" Rocky replied with the same level of disrespect as the orc showed him, however, instead of being offended the orc seemed to shy off as he began pumping his muscles.


    "You think I''m giant? Thank You puny human, I work out hard" The orc said, as Rocky pped his forehead remembering the fact that orcs were a very literal species who did not understand sarcasm.


    As the orc pumped his muscles in front of Rocky, Rocky could not help but chuckle as he saw the spitting image of a gym freak in the orc, who kept hitting pose after pose in the mirror after a good pump session.


    " I''m Buhara, the son of the great orc chieftain Duhara. Who are you?" Buhara said, extending his giant right hand towards Rocky, who shook it and tried to apply the maximum force that he could to squeeze it.


    " I''m Rocky, Rocky Yadav. Younger brother of Riva Yadav" Rocky said as Buhara flinched slightly as he felt Rocky''s strength.


    "Grrrrrrr" Buhara squeezed back, as while he did not understand sarcasm, he understood when a warrior was challenging him, as he squeezed Rocky''s palm right back with all his strength.


    " Rocky is much stronger than he looks. Buhara respects it" he eventually said, as the two left each other''s hands, both feeling the pain and having their palms redden.


    " You''re not too bad yourself" Rocky said, as he acknowledged Buhara''s brute strength which was equal to that of his.


    If Rocky was merely a normal human, he would have had his bones crushed by Buhara''s grip strength, however, after working out diligently and consuming three body strengthening potions, Rocky was much stronger than an average human, which allowed him to withstand Buhara''s grip and stand his ground.


    " This is ridiculous.... How is this even allowed? What about workers like us? I''m already working on a 0.1%mission basis, isn''t this a loss for me?...." The goblin clerk muttered as he walked back angrily to his post on his small two feet, prompting Rocky to ignore Buhara and turn his attention to the clerk.


    " So...?" Rocky asked, as the grumpy expression on the face of the clerk already told him the full story.


    " Yes, you don''t have to pay a fee, your full schrship has been approved by the institute.


    Here are your four sets of robes, an identity badge, a team membership form, a course selection form and keys to your dormitory.


    You have been given a triple sharing room and shall have two roommates.


    No VIP rooms for you!" The Goblin clerk grumpily said as he stamped Rocky''s form and handed him his stuff.


    " Ridiculous.... Two champions of gods in the same semester? To think I need to approve one more free form this year.... Unfair...truly unfair" he grumbled, as Rocky picked up on his words before he left.


    ''There is yet another champion of God in this same school?'' Rocky wondered, as for a moment he felt his heart flutter with excitement.


    If it were a champion of some friendly god to Gemini, such as one of Enel or Junfred, Rocky could be best friends with the guy/girl who shared the same destiny as him.


    " I really hope it''s a friendly champion...." He muttered as he walked towards his triple sharing dormitory room numbered C-54 to settle in and ce his luggage.


    ********


    ( Dorm room C-54 )


    As Rocky reached the room, he saw a very decent living quarters that had three distinct divisions within it and onemon seating/ studying area.


    It wasn''tvish, but it was by no means average either, as it was just the right amount of luxury for an Elite student to enjoy.


    He seemed to be the first one to enter his room, with no-roommates in sight, but he expected them to arrive soon enough.


    Shamelessly iming thest chamber which was the furthest into the room as his own because it offered maximum privacy, Rocky began settling in when he heard the familiar "Grrr....." sound.


    " Puny human? It seems like we are roommates!" Said Buhara who seemed to be very happy with this oue.
