"Ah, the black box just lit up. Freya, let's go to class now. Makena what is your first class again, I already forgot," Amelia says, rubbing the back of her head.
"It's Spearmanship. Well, I'm going to go ahead, see you girls later," The girl beastman says.
She is about my height but her pointy wolf ears at the top give her a height advantage. Her figure is pretty good and her long dark blue hair is soft. I couldn't stop touching it once I felt it brush the back of my hand.
Makena also said that she became a beastman due to her parents. Her parents are famous Gold-rank adventurers and they were one of the first werewolves in mom's kingdom to evolve. The werewolves were just integrated into Mom's kingdom a couple of days before I was born.
"What are you standing around for, let's not be later for class," Amelia says, grabbing my hand and running out of the door.
…
"Are you excited about school cause I am? We get to learn more things about this kingdom, outside this kingdom, and even practice fighting. As a fire harpy, I mainly specialize in magic so that's why I'm taking this class," Amelia says.
"I didn't ask," I responded.
"How rude. How about you tell me why you came here,"
"My mom forced me too,"
"Really? Tell me about your parents and I'll tell you about mine," Amelia says, as we walk to the Magic Training classroom.
"Uhhhh… Well, I can't do that,"
"Why not? Are they famous?"
"M-maybe," I say, scratching my cheek and avoiding Amelia's gaze.
"Don't worry I won't tell anybody. It'll be our little secret… I think I can handle the repercussions if it gets found out. My parents are pretty famous Diamond-rank adventurers… well… they're dead now… but that doesn't matter as long as I show them proof of my parents," Amelia says with her smile slightly wavering.
"I'm sorry to hear that about your parents but… Do you believe you can handle the repercussions?" I ask my tone to shift into one that's very serious.
I didn't even realize the amount of pressure I had unleashed on Amelia. She was sweating bullets and her face looked like she just saw a dragon or all-powerful beast.
"G-guess not. Well anyway, we're here so can you please release this pressure, it's so heavy that I want to throw up," Amelia says, barely able to stand up.
"What pressure?"
"Oh, it's gone… Wait. You didn't release that pressure? It was on par with my dad's pressure when he goes 100%,"
"I don't know what you're talking about. You go in first, I want all the attention drawn to you and I'll just follow behind," I say, taking a few steps back.
I gestured for Amelia to go in front which she immediately accepts before opening the grand wooden doors wide open. On the other side was a pretty big classroom that had elevated rows of seats. Each seat was just a long block of quartz with some cushion and the desk was also some extremely polished quartz.
There were 2 walkways, leading up both sides of the perfectly rectangular classroom.
Somebody was waving at us who looked very similar to Amelia… sisters maybe?
"Come on," Amelia says, gesturing for me to follow her.
As we walked up the green carpet pathway, I noticed a familiar face that made me cringe.
Uh, Luna is here…
Amelia introduced me and herself to Luna and… Alice. They also asked me and Luna's relationship which Luna replied with,
"We're half-sisters,"
We had a staring contest and I knew if I looked away, I would've lost. My eyes started to tingle a bit as Amelia and Alice watched our contest carefully. I needed to end this quickly and I knew exactly what to do.
"Heh. Imagine having room 9, couldn't be me,"
Luna immediately lost her cool and jumped onto the quartz desk in front of us. I also stood up ready to beat the shit out of her, but we were both held back by Alice and Amelia.
I was slowly slipping out of Amelia's tight grasp but then restrained by vines that wrapped around my limbs. I couldn't shake them off no matter what I did and suddenly I heard a warm motherly voice come from the front of the classroom.
"Now, now. No fighting in my classroom,"
I and Luna immediately jolt our heads and see what looks to be a dryad at the front of the classroom. But why does she have a small crown on the top of her head, can dryads control their vines to that extent?
"Wow, it's Mother Nature. I thought she was a myth but I guess Mother Nature does exist," A boy beastman says, who was 2 levels above my seat.
The classroom erupted into an uproar at the beastmans comment.
"Everyone settle down. I am Mother Nature and you could technically call me the Queen of Nature by I prefer being the mother. Calling me the queen makes me look like I rule over nature but I just help it as much as possible," Mother Nature says.
Her soft, gentle, and quiet tone normally wouldn't have been able to quell the uproar, but it somehow did. Everybody became dead silent, waiting for Mother Nature to speak once again.
"Alright, I am your Magic Training teacher. My name is Treya but please call me Miss T or Mother Nature. Either one is fine. I hope we can have a fun and learning experience in my classroom so please don't fight again," Mother Nature says, releasing me and Lunas binds.
We both sat down beside our newly made friend and ignored each other to the best of our abilities. Amelia and Alice smiled wearily at our relationship before paying attention to our new teacher.
"How about we start with introducing ourselves, the duo who were trying to fight, you go first," Mother Nature says.
"Luna,"
"Freya,"
"Oh…"
Mother Nature pauses for a bit before calling on another kid.
She knows our identity…
Everybody continued to introduce themselves and once the final student introduced, Mother Nature wrote something on the board behind her. She was using something that looked like a white stone to write and draw.
"Open status… checking status… checking skills… activating skills… Class dismissed," I mutter, as I read what Mother Nature wrote on the blackboard behind her.
We've already learned this…
"Okay, your parents probably taught you about your status. Most of you might be able to open it but just in case anybody hasn't learned, either think of the word 'Status' or say it out loud," Mother Nature says.
Most of the class already knew what to do, but the ones who didn't jump slightly when they saw the status panel appear in front of them.
"Today will be the basics, so most of you might already know what to do. Just bear with it since not everybody knows what to do," Mother Nature says.
"Now as everybody can see in front of them, that is what you call your status. It shows your name, race, status, stats, skills, and titles. If you're special and maybe you gained something from evolution you might get a body modification. If you become proficient in a weapon then you get the partial mastery for that weapon. It also shows the equipment you are wearing but it has to give a stat buff for it to appear on your status," Mother Nature explains.
"Why is there a status inside our status?" Alice asks.
"That displays your body's status. In other words, if you are sleepy, your status will show that you are sleepy. Mine currently shows 'servant' because I am one of the queen's servants," Mother Nature says.
"Mother Nature is a servant to our queen?!"
"It makes sense since our queen is so powerful!"
"What is it like being the servant of the queen? Do you get a lot of benefits?!"
"Are you perhaps one of her wives?"
"Yes, yes, I am the servant of the queen. I of course call her 'Master' wherever I go. I owe her a lot since she helped save my children from one of the mountain guardians. If it wasn't for her, I would've rotted inside a cell, while my children would've been slowly killed off and used as tools.
Being the servant of the queen does give me a lot of benefits such as being a teacher here with no problem. I can request any amount of money that I need but I don't abuse that instead try to earn my own money.
Now the final answer that I'm going to give is… I'm not one of the queen's wives," Mother Nature says.
Which queen are they talking about? My bedridden mom lost her leg and arm so it's not possible for her to defeat or save Mother Nature… It must've been one of my Aunties or my other mom.
The rest of the lesson was kind of fun to listen to. She explained many things about our status, skills, titles, and body modifications that I haven't learned yet.
"Now I assume you all should have some skills and we've checked our skills, so let's try and test them out. Everybody follow me up these steps and we'll practice firing off or using some of our skills," Mother Nature says.
