The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

"I don't get paid enough to listen your spat." Saying that the teacher left, leaving behind three shocked looks.

"What just happened?" Xavier asked as he saw the teacher, who clearly wasn't any big shot, walking away so carelessly, "Are we jokes to them?"

"I don't know, maybe there is a big conspiracy-" Arthur's words were interrupted before he could finish.

"That's how it looks like." Hearing the familiar voice, both Xavier and Arthur's eyes turned to me. One was of ego and the other strange.

"For them, it doesn't matter that we fought a fucking cult leader and won a competition among thousands… we won't be anything other than chumps to them, Oh!" I stop as if remembering, "I meant you all are nothing but chumps to them."

"And what about you? Do you think of yourself as some great guy that's actually worth a damn!" Xavier said, trying to bite at me.

"Yes, I do actually."

"Then the real fool is you… if they don't even care about me, I don't think they will about you." Xavier said and his last part was but a whisper, still I was able to hear him.

It immediately brought a smile to me.

Xavier wasn't just any strong side protagonist that becomes strong as he hangs around the real protagonist. He's the kind that barges around and challenges people and even after getting beaten, he'll stand up again, stronger than his previous self.

So you could say he was kind of an egotistical cockroach.

He also had family problems… what am I saying…

They all have family problems. It's actually their family that give them value, otherwise they would all just be kids running around with selfish ambition.

Which they are.

"I'm not gonna sulk around, waiting for someone to piggyback me up the dorms. Let's go Wilson." I say and walk towards the building with Wilson in tow.

The building wasn't anything special. It looked like a normal place for students or actually academy employees to stay at.

It wasn't like the real dorms; it didn't have the special looking cafeteria nor did it have good rooms. It didn't even have clean bathrooms.

But after talking to some employees who had night duty, we found out that there were only two rooms left vacant.

These fuckers didn't even leave us enough rooms.

The rooms weren't that big too, but it was enough for both me and Wilson to share one. The problem was that there was only one bed here and nothing else.

Yeah… only one broke ass bed that seemed to be a colony for insects and a completely vacant room. That's what we got.

While I was only complaining out my inner cravings, Wilson had already taken up a broom and was cleaning the place.

"Henry, can you step out for a moment? I'm going to clean."

Wilson may have been a chatterbo… is a chatterbox, but he's really a fine pal. I remember that he was the only male lead in the story that was actually the support type till the end… the end that I could not finish because of noodles.

"Stop it Wilson, the place is infested by a damn insect nation. We need professionals, brooms won't do it."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Wilson asked, as he stopped cleaning.

"I'll hire a cleaning crew to burn away this abomination." I say as I feel the numerous gazes of small creatures.

"That isn't allowed, Henry."

"Why?"

"The academy has a rule of not allowing any type of outside work inside the academy on its own facilities."

"When did they say that?"

"The teachers said it in the inauguration ceremony. They said a bunch of other rules too, but you weren't there."

"…Fuck!"

…

After some time, I finally get a good idea and get downstairs to the kinda common room of this building. Which was also the mess hall and the leisure room for the employees.

"Who in here wants to get paid?"

Immediately, ears perked up and everybody in the room looked at us, "I'll pay you guys to clean up one of the vacant rooms upstairs and also the toilet in that floor."

One of them, a bit fat but burly, probably the leader, said, "The toilet's gonna cost you extra."

"I'll give you guys this piece for cleaning the whole place for a month." I threw a silver biscuit towards the leader.

Taking a look at it, the leader looked back in suspicion, "Seriously?"

"Yeah, but I want the place spotless."

The leader showed a toothy grin, greed flashing from it, "You got it, boss."

…

So it took them an hour and a lot of yelling and cursing before they got it done.

Suffice to say, I was impressed at this people. They may look destitute and probably are, but they can do a nice job when the motivations in the right place.

"Wow! This place looks nothing like how it was before. Is this really our room?" Wilson said, he's eyes showing stars towards the now clean room.

"Em Hmm… you can say that; Money can make the impossible true."

He nodded excitedly, "Finally a room that's not filled with my ten siblings and only one true brother." He said and was about to jump on the bed but I stop him.

"Dude… are you really going to sleep on that bed where insects had been breading since their beginning?"

"…But there's only one bed here." Wilson said as I grabbed on to him like an overly large cat, "It's not even big enough for both of us to sleep in."

"Hmm… Wilson, is there any rule that says we can't buy things from outside the academy and use them here?"

"I don't recall any, why?"

I gave a good smile, "Because we're going shopping."

…

The next day

I get up from my super comfy leather bed and yawn in harmony.

"Hey, Henry. Did you get a nice sleep?" Wilson asked as he came in from the bathroom. He had a special kind of tree bark that can be used to brush teethes and paste on his mouth.

"Yep, just like a baby."

Inside our room, there were now two beds, a large desk for studying (Mostly Wilson), Hangers for clothes and other necessary items that we did not have before.

The academy might not give me necessary items for survival, but they can't stop me from buying things that'll bring me pleasure… except for prostitutes. Wilson once said there was a big no-no rule of not bringing prostitutes inside academy grounds.

As I got up and was brushing my own teeth, Wilson suddenly recalled something as he asked, "Hey, do you have any issue with baby's?"

"I don't, no. Why?"

"Because you were mumbling in your sleep about how a baby would destroy your clothes and drink all your milk?"

!!!

"What was that about?" Wilson asked, completely in the unknown.

"Haha… probably just a dream about how scary a sibling at this age could be for me."

"I understand." His face darkened, "For information, they are the best thing you can imagine… until they aren't."

…

Opening the door, Wilson and I get out, only to see Arthur and Xavier coming out from their room too. But unlike us, who were in fit form and looked refreshed, they were all worn out.

"So how's your finnne facility?"
