Recap:
Finally Sion was alone with miss Casey as she trotted in grace towards him and sat down across from him.
"Your name isn't on my roster or in the system, care to tell me who you are or better yet. Why are you here?"
****
"I'm a part time model" was all Sion said as Miss Casey sat there with a perplexing look on her face.
'So the boy does model work?' Wait what? That wasn't what she'd asked, she asked why he was here did she not.
"Mr Sho, I'm not sure I follow you?"
"I haven't been attending high school in recent months because of my model career" When did he become such a smooth liar? Sure half of it was right but in a sense it was just bull shit coming from his mouth! That oppression feeling of his old self seemed to fade more to the back ground as he seem to change more with each day.
Miss Casey studied the boy, he was wide framed and tall, pretty bulk, sharp jawline, impressive hair and piercing blue eyes. Now that she thought about it-
"How old are you?" She blurted out as her face mirrored her horror from the inside out. She had just literally checked out this boy and without holding back asked his age as if she was interested!
"17, I turn 18 in two months" Sion replied monotoned while Miss Casey was dumbfounded.
'What 17 year old looks like this!?' She yelled in her mind unaware she was not the first to ask this to herself and question her morals. Coughing she tried to hide what modesty she had left as she grabbed her clipboard as her long horse tail flicked.
Waist down she had never been able to revert her lower body from her 'Second gender' horse appearance. Although this caused her heartache and judgmental stares for her looks besides being a rare beauty. Her self esteem from when she had been young to her adult years hadn't left.
"So, you've just started today?" She spoke in a grounded tone as she assumed professionalism once more. Sion not wanting to ruin anything simply nodded as Miss Casey scribbled down something before pulling the page off her clipboard.
"I've just given you a small slip to explain some things to the office, just hand them this so the can put you on my roster and allocate you a timetable Mr Sho" presenting him with the page slip Miss Casey stood up on her horse hind back legs and opened the door once she'd gotten there for him. "In future go to the office first as sometimes new arrivals do not appear on the rosters online for at least a day depending on last names and sometimes office staff hours. So it's best to get a slip from them even if you are aware of your class, home room and teachers."
Again Sion nodded as he left Miss Casey in a daze. There was something off about the boy she couldn't place. He smelt like a normal human but for some reason she had felt on edge and her 'Second gender' had been making her nervous as her tail had flicked- something she only did in stressful situations and that hadn't been stressful. She'd dealt with many people who had not been on her roster who had either transferred or been new to any education. It was something more primal, like she'd been in the presence of a natural enemy.
Like his piercing eyes had seen her as a whole in a new light, one so dominant and observant that would make any person bow their head or just be great full that their head wasn't chewed off!
But there was something wrong with her too, she'd felt safe regardless of her nerves and 'Second gender' influence. This High school, Dōbutsu High was corrupt. Every teacher knew this, the wealthy always rules over the weak in this day and age of hunters, fractures and who has the strongest 'Second gender'. Sure you could make a living but you were always kissing the ass of those above you.
Miss Casey was a victim of this, she'd once been a Rodeo Girl, earned her money stripping for the men and women alike before she changed her ways. Yet history sticks and the Principal of Dōbutsu had used that to manipulate her after finding this out. The man was vile and had an obsession with her horse legs and tail.
She hadn't said anything about it. But her guilt and suffering was just like all if not most that worked in the school. There was something more sinister tied to the school that went further than just turning a blind eye to bullying of other students. She'd seen it, a white packet being distributed in school. One packet that came from two main offenders of fellow students, Dio and Dante, the twins and the sons of the wealthy benefactor of where this school got it's profits to maintain itself.
This school had been under watchful eye of authorities for sometime but that bus of wealth stopped them knocking while letting the sleaze principal have his way.
Sighing, Miss Casey shivered as the principal infuriated her mind with his face that wore a hideous smile while making remarks of her legs and tail.
"Such erotic meat" he'd slur due to the fact his 'Second gender' was a hyena.
Gripping her arms she'd pray one day this school would fall in the name of justice as her eyes saw that familiar packet. Trodding over she bent down and picked up the shiny small white packet, she had a friend who might be able to identify the contents. But if it was what she feared it was, if she was caught with it in any unforeseen or unfortunate circumstances, she might as well let the principal eat her alive.
