Prometheus wouldn't be surprised if the dorm-manager tried knocking the wing down while he was still in it. His soul was beginning to gain a murderous edge to it every time they clashed in recent days...
"They can try," he said grimly, "But that dorm is mine now. They can have it back when I graduate."
Or until they brought in the Big Guns, i.e Lahabrea himself, overseer of the Akadaemia or, more terrifyingly, Mentor Metis. Prometheus wasn't stupid, he knew his antics would be tolerated only to a certain point. He just had to toe the line of audacious and too annoying to deal with.
"Or until I get kicked out, bringing shame to our family for generations to come," he added brightly. Getting expelled from the Akadaemia was a black mark for any Amaurotine; for Prometheus, it didn't bother him in the slightest. His dream job didn't require a worthless acknowledgement of his skill from some equally worthless institution. He knew he was a genius and already outstripped majority of the students several centuries his senior. That wasn't even arrogance talking, just simple fact.
(And this was why his citizen file was ear-marked with the tag of "problematic". Despite his intelligence, skill and unique gift, his attitude and unwillingness to conform meant he was watched far more closely than his other agemates...)
