I Wanted A Typical Fantasy Isekai, Not This!

After what seemed like an eternity, Emily and Veronica stumbled back into the bedroom and collapsed in a heap.

"W-We… did it…"

They looked like sticks of melted butter and smelled like…

"Hey! If you cleaned the bathroom completely, go wash yourselves! You two stink!"

Veronica grumbled under her breath and slowly picked herself back up, dragging the blonde with her.

When they left, James had to mop again. Their bodies had been outlined in a suspiciously brown grime on the floor.

Twenty minutes later, James figured that most of the stink had been cleansed from his servants and poked his head in the bathroom. He was surprised to see the earlier dank room was now a shiny marbled white and gray. Emily and Veronica were lounging in a fairly large bathtub made out of what seemed to be thick ceramic.

'Holy shit.. this is nicer than my bathroom back home. I wonder if they took into account the fact that males would have their protectors with them at all times..'

Something caught James's attention in one of the corners.

"Hell yeah!"

Seeing their masters jubilation, the girls asked if they had missed a spot.

"No, it's not that! Look, that's a shower head!"

They noticed the metal tube that ended in a circular disk shape and raised their eyebrows. Emily couldn't keep her curiosity down and asked a question.

"You know what that is James?"

James nodded happily and started stripping. Veronica blushed a little and looked away, she still hadn't quite gotten used to seeing a man behave so immodestly.

He strode over to the corner and searched the wall. James was looking for the engraving that marked where the enchantment would be. Seeing none, he stepped closer and yelled a little, backpedaling after water suddenly assaulted him.

James still wasn't exactly sure how the enchantment runes worked and studied the corner closely, trying to find out how he had activated the shower.

His eyes fell on the floor and he facepalmed. Taking a tentative step forward, his foot landed on the runes engraved into the tile.

James grinned when the water started falling down atop him again.

'I thought it was motion activated at first but now I think it's weight related. Sorta like a pressure plate…'

He studied the the runes on the floor and saw how insanely intricate it was. It looked even more complex than the runes carved into his heroic rarity war hammer.

'I wonder if they have a course on how to make enchantments or something… there's such a wide variety of uses for them and I'm sure I can introduce something new to this world.'

James basked in the feeling of standing while cleaning himself. He actually quite liked baths, but he never got the feeling of being truly clean after them.

His servants seemed pretty interested in the new way to wash and lined up behind him, waiting for a turn.

After James was done, he marveled at the fast that this dorm room had something his family's estate didn't. His family was one of, of not the wealthiest families in the kingdom.

With a completely clean room and body, James slumped into the cushions of the living room couch and started falling asleep. It was only about six in the afternoon, but the days events had exhausted him.

His servants had plopped down in chairs around him and started drifting off too when a knock came at the door.

James sighed and gestured for one of the girls to answer it.

Emily spring to her feet and quickly put on her class equipment.

"Is that really necessary?"

Emily and Veronica stared at him gravely before the blonde spoke up.

"James, we are not in your family's estate anymore. While this is neutral ground, we must always be prepared from now on. We cannot grow complacent just because it seems safe here."

James nodded at her words.

'That makes sense… I can't forget what happened at the palace either, just because it seems safe, we need to be on guard.'

Another knock sounded out from the door and Emily opened it to reveal a random woman James had never seen before. He assumed she was one of the guards for a male student.

Her voice was deep and gruff, but their was no hostility in her words.

"Hey, that old male said dinner is ready if you want to come down and eat."

With that, she spun on her heels and left, leaving curly light brown hair flowing behind in her wake.

James patted his stomach and sighed.

'I guess I should eat before sleeping..'

Making their way downstairs, they passed quite a few women. The guardians had all taken it upon themselves to give the entire dorm a thorough cleaning.

'And I guess I should've waited for these girls to arrive… they probably would've cleaned my entire room for me…'

Only a handful of the male guardians were in the cafeteria when James walked in. Aiden was tucked behind the half wall again and only looked a little less nervous than earlier. Spotting James seemed to give the old man a sigh of relief and he waived him over.

"The food tonight is more of the same of what you had earlier, unfortunately it's the only thing I know how to cook for large groups of people, so sorry in advance."

James shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't worry about it, plus it was rather good."

Aiden smiled and James did so as well.

'Yeah keep smiling you old bastard… hopefully tomorrow you decide to wake up and smell the roses.. hehehe..'

James sat down at a empty table with his servants and began to eat. He only paused in his gluttony for a moment to ask a question.

"Hey, what's going on tomorrow? Are regular classes starting or something?"

Veronica gently wiped her mouth and answered.

"Tomorrow is basically another orientation, it's just for all the classes first years are assigned though. According to that teacher Nadia, it shouldn't take very long and the students will only be given an overview of what's expected for each class. Some of the classes have preliminary exams that everyone will take to see where your baseline knowledge is. One thing Nadia was very clear about was that nothing much is expected of the male students and only their attendance is necessary."

James nodded and only felt a slight twinge of anger at Nadia's borderline sexist behavior. He just let it go though because for most males other than him, they were mostly useless.

"Okay, so what time is the first class?"

"8 o'clock in the morning. I believe it is for Ethical Magic Studies class."

James was about to ask what the hell that class was when he paused and sighed.

'Whatever, it's not like I won't find out tomorrow anyway..'

"How many classes in total was I assigned?"

"Let's see one, two, three…"

Veronica started counting them off on her fingers and furled her brow.

"Five… but technically six. I assume you're going to take some of the preliminary exams, so depending on how you do, you might get assigned more."

James raised an eyebrow at this.

"Assigned more work for doing good? That sounds backward as hell."

Veronica smiled a little and shook her head.

"I think you're misunderstanding a little. It's not necessarily more work you're being assigned, you'll just be required to attend more classes. For example, Nadia said she holds a discussion about anything and everything combat related after class. Though, you would have to manage to stand out in her preliminary test to be invited to that discussion."

James nodded slowly.

"Okay.. I guess I understand. It's kinda of like a way to solidify my knowledge and build on top of it even more. And since I assume only a few students get to attend these other classes, we will be far ahead of the curve."

Veronica smiled at him. It seemed as if James was finally picking up what she had put down.

James stood after another few minutes of going over tomorrow's schedule and turned to Emily.

"Alright it's your turn."

He held his arms out and the blonde woman immediately understood. She embraced him and carried James back upstairs happily as the male guardians all gawked at them. A few blushed a furious shade of red and James assumed that those were the ones who had seen his 'prank' earlier…

Under the watchful state of the other woman, James sunk deep into the massive chest of his servant and sighed contentedly.

When they got back to their room, James actually declined to take advantage of the girls tonight and left them very disappointed.

Instead, he focused on his character sheet and the prompt he got earlier in the day.

'This is literally going to change how this world operates… do I keep this to myself or spread the love... haha.. fuck. Why am I the one who has to make this decision…'
