"Hi-Hii, my name is Yoru and I am a demon hybrid who doesn't know anything about specialities, this is the first time I even heard of that, I'm sorry", I introduced myself nervously while glancing at Mr Black, our teacher.
"Well no problem if your parents haven't taught you that, you can still learn it here. If any others don't know anything about what subtype of celestial race they are we might do a special class for only you guys later on", Mr. Black told everyone.
"Could have been worse I guess", I thought to myself. After me, everyone else introduced themselves and almost all knew what exact subtype they are. It seems like there are different subtypes of demon and angel hybrids who specialise in diverse combat styles and magic. There are some types that overlapped between both like swordsman and mages of various types of attributes like fire and water, but there are also some unique to every hybrid race like healers for angels and cursers for demons. Only two other students didn't know their specific subtype either, one is called Emilia but she told us we can call her Emi and the other is a huge boy named Ivan. Emi is an angel hybrid and Ivan a demon hybrid like me.
"Those two look like a great chance for me to make my first friends around here, I just hope they approach me when we are in the special class later", I daydreamed as I noticed the teacher going on with his explanations.
"That was pretty much all we had on plan for today, I will now show you to your dorms. They overseers there will help you find your rooms if you have any trouble with that.
Oh, Yoru, Emilia and Ivan, you three will come back afterwards for the special class to figure out your specific subtypes, I hope you are already excited for that" the teacher said while already leaving the room halfway. He didn't leave completely though, he waited at the exit of the classroom and handed every single one of us something that appears to be an ID card and as soon as everyone had theirs we left for the dorms.
It took us around 15 minutes of walking to finally arrive at another huge building which wasn't much smaller than the school itself. Luckily, one could say, I didn't have too much stuff so I was only carrying a small backpack. The other girls mostly had a hard time with all of their belongings they brought, while the boys looked fine. I was still worrying what the teacher was implying back in the class with us having to be excited for the other class later. I just hoped I'm a useful and strong subtype, maybe I can help my orphanage out one day. The caretakers back there were always very nice to me, even though I was one of the only hybrids. Some of the kids which came from another orphanage told me quite a lot of horror stories how hybrids were treated there, got to say I lucked out greatly.
I didn't really like fighting but it looked like I have to if I wanted to survive and stand on my own feet. Maybe once I'm strong enough I could get away from the army and live a peaceful live.
The teacher let us enter the building and left while saying: "Special class starts in half an hour for the ones who have to take them." And just like that we were left standing at the entrance of the dorm. But shortly afterwards we got approached by what looked like a caretaker, a young women with very attractive looks which even I as a girl would have admitted. She immediately recognized us as new students and went towards the reception again just to come back a short while later with a small box of keys. Afterwards she told us to stand in a line which we immediately did. The women smiled at us and said: "You are so adorable kids, now show me your ID and I will give you the corresponding key. As soon as you have the key you can look at the number on it and then you can just watch out for the labels on the walls to find your rooms. You will be separated by gender in rooms of two people. If you get good marks however you can get yourself a single room or a bigger room if you want."
It took quite a bit of time till I had my key because I was standing way in the back. When I took the key from the women I started hoping to get myself a nice roommate who I can befriend right away. As luck would have it, Emi was right behind me and it looked like she got the same room number as I did.
I turned around and asked: "Hey Emi, wanna look for our room together?"
"How do you know my room number", she shyly asked back.
"Well I just happened to take a glance at it as the nice lady gave it to you"
"Oh-Ohh yes then sure"
The room numbers were well labelled on the walls as the women said so we immediately found the room. "Emi's package is right around the same size as mine, maybe she is an orphan as well", I thought to myself while opening the door but didn't bother to ask her anything.
"So this is it", I said as I threw my backpack in the corner and took a nosedive into the huge bed. It has to be twice the size of the one from my orphanage and Emi also has one, so no need to share.
After some time of just lying in the astonishingly comfortable bed I asked Emi if she wants to head off for the special lesson already and she agreed. And so we left off again for a hopeful insight on ourselves.
