"So I trust Ajax in showing you all of Nevermore Academy." Larissa Weems said with a smile while looking at me,little me carrying enough bags and things to look like they were heavier than me.

Both Ajax and me looked as she turned around heading to God knows where.

"Can I get a chance to see the dorm first and leave everything?" I said to Ajax as soon as she escaped from my sight.

"Yeah sure dude." He said with a rather monotone voice,he seemed almost defeated by having me as his roommate.

I followed him from behind watching his depressed demeanor laced a curved back.

"So what are you...?" I asked taking a few quicker steps to be at his side.

"I'm a gorgon,which makes me think why would they put anyone with me in a dorm, now I won't even be able to have my hair out in my own bed." He said with a tone deprived of any sort of joy or emotion.

"Well I think the reason for that is because I can quite un-stone me..."

That seemed to stop Ajax tracks and he immediately straightened his back and turned around with the widest smile I could ever see.

"Dude you should've started with that!" He said grabbing me by the shoulders,which make some bags fall from me.

"Oh don't worry I'll help you." He said picking up the bags and even taking some from me.

"Yeah thank you..." I said,now me being the shy thanks to his change of attitude.

"Well I never heard of a person who can un-stone themselves,what are you?" He said,curious,interested and even more intrigued.

"Well I don't know,but I can reverse things and phenomenon,which means after maybe two pretifications I should be ready to not even bother by it." I said as we finally got to our dorm,which he opened using a single key of his pocket.

"Well that's your side of the dorm and that's my side." He said pointing at an almost empty side of a big room,mine only had a single bed and a desk and to the side a door which surely was the closet.

"There's the bathroom and here's where we leave your things." He said walking to my desk and leaving most of the bags.

I walked aside of him and left also my bags and luggage,and to the other side two boxes,one being the ps5 and other the uniform one.

"Oh now I'm sorry for you but I already got one..." He said pointing at his side,which had a monitor with a ps5 laying down on the ground,and two controlers on the ground.

"Ah well but if there's an online game we can play it together..." He said while sitting on my bed.

"Well there's you're right,now let's go and I'll give you the real tour..."

2 weeks.

"So what club you took?" Xavier asked while laying his arms on the table,his food already gone in minutes.

"Nevermore hummers and fencing..." I said while stuffing myself with Ajax food now,since I've been with my two closest friends here,they've been in a strict diet of eat or starve whenever I'm close.

Ajax looked at me in disbelief before starting to laugh hysterically.

"The beekeeping!" This time Xavier yelled with a smile,the tone of his voice with the same amusement as Ajax.

"Hey it's the closest thing here to see animals,so I took it... and you can't say shit because you haven't hit a bullseye since I've arrived to Nevermore!" I said raising my finger to Xavier which only looked more amused thanks to how Ajax was looking horrid to hid empty plate.

"So be seeing your boring asses later cause I'm going to enjoy myself watching yellow and black asses move move it." I said standing up with a smile while moving away of the bench.

Ajax looked at Xavier,still a horrified expression while he then stared at his empty plate again.

"My roommate is a monster..."

"More like a black hole..." Xavier said watching at his also empty plate.

And his comparisson wasn't just a joke. Since Dante joined Nevermore the only thing he did was grow and grow,he got taller,had more fat and his entire look changed.

Something that only Ajax knew that was because he cut his entire hair and then in a span of seconds had his black frizzy bush turned into a perfect messy immaculate hair,if he had to describe it, it would be like watching someone keep the same perfection a baby has on it's skin and hair.

I turned around in the woods inside the academy watching the small hut which surely wasn't even made to beekeeping.

I approached the place watching some handmade hives neatly made,almost like the person who did recieved help from the bees themselves.

Once I approached enough,I saw a smaller kid using a beekeeping suit,calmly taking care of whatever a beekeeper does.

The front of the hut had a bee painted in the door and wall,and only once the kid turned around he noticed me.

He left what he was doing and closed by.

"Hi my name is Eugene Ottinger welcome to the world of the hummers" He said with a smile,it revealed some sort of retainer.

"Hi Eugene my name is Dante,I came here to join the club if it isn't any hustle." I said striking a confident smile.

Eugene immediately looked like he won while he grabbed my hand with both of his hands and started shaking it enthusiastically.

"Welll Dante I'm sure you'll fit right in with us!" He said looking up to me,his smile almost shining by how happy he looked.

"Us? How many are in the club?"

"Me..., and the bees obviously."

"Well Eugene I only came here to say hi and join,I'm also taking as another club the fencing team,so I also should go and tell teacher Vlad about it..." I said while taking a small step back.

"Oh... don't worry,I'll be here for about an hour or so..." Eugene said,seemly calming down or even with a worst demeanor than before,maybe he thought I wasn't joining after what he said.

...

...

"En garde..."

"Prêts?"

"Allez!" Coach Vlad yelled while two students started an assault,the sequence being almost like a movie,just that in this instance the moves were much faster,precise and less for the showoff.

"Excuse me coach..." I said in a lower tone while the two students kept dueling.

Vlad didn't took his eyes off the assault while he responded to me.

"Yes student Dante...?"

"I came here to join the fencing team." I said,hypnotized by the exchange of quick precise moves.

"Well Dante and why would you? I must say it's impressive your capability of healing ant wound..."

"Well coach Vlad,as much as it's effective being a punch bag until the enemy gets tired,I also want to defend myself and not just be a meat shield made to take hits..."

"Then grab your fencing equipment and do not disappoint me."
