zandik

It was the last period at Sumeru Academy, and evening was approaching. Zandik and you had been classmates for almost a year, but Zandik didn't even try to interact with you. He always sat alone at the top of the lecture hall, where there was the closest level of the long table to the teacher, the middle one, and the highest one, which overlooked the entire classroom and the teacher's blackboard in the distance. Zandik didn't interact with the other students either; he was always silent, but he was remembered in class for his intellect; he always scored full marks on his tests and was the smartest and most valued student in the academy. At least, if the teachers hadn't chided him for his strange ideas, like creating something akin to a god and other things that were nigh-impossible. Most students disliked Zandik and tried to avoid his presence. But this time, you and Zandik were forced to see each other more often because, as every year at the academy, the teacher had chosen you and Zandik to share a dorm. When the teacher said this, Zandik frowned slightly, an unpleasant expression on his face, but continued to sit in his chair by the window. He had a slightly irritated expression, but he didn't say a word and continued to sit in a relaxed pose, his arms crossed over his chest and his back leaning against the back of his chair.
