How is the feeling of disputing with narrow-minded and perverse people constantly?

i have to face him every day. he is narrow-minded, perverse, and extremely vengeful. he would never let himself be treated unfairly, however little and petty the unfairness is. he would use every conceivable means to revenge if he feels that you have treated him unfairly. and the revenge has really caused so much pain to me. but i have to study in the same room with him, because this is the arrangement of the school(i am a college student). sometimes i thought of beating him up, but i am not a strong man, neither is him. everyday he made a lot of noises to disturb my study and i have talked it with him, but he said that i also made noises before, so i deserved it. i knew that he would continue to make noises in the future. and i really don't want to be disturbed by him anymore. i have no enough muscular strength to teach him a lesson, although he couldn't beat me either. what should i do to get rid of his noises? i knew that only talking with him about it would cause quarrel and continuous sore feelings, just like the last talk. what should i do? study is really important for me at present. i had fault, but he took his revenge too much. so i cut back, and he got hurt again. he does not know what is proper revenge and would never relent.
