The silence stretched on for a while longer. To give in to the females before me, I turned away first to look in the direction of the three who were supposedly hiding. "Student five hundred and forty-seven, you are quite interesting. It is a good thing then that we will be the school in charge of cultivating you until your tenth year."
She said in an amicable tone.
"Mm. Then this student hopes that the Madam shows mercy." I replied, dipping my head.
Perhaps she felt that I was a true threat and took the required approach to survive, for me, I am not too sure. I have a guise of a human but the mentality is still mostly of a shark-kin.
As for humankind?
I have learned over time how strange humans are; they tend to say and do things secretly. One face in front of you and another behind.
This female before me is nowhere near human though so that did not really matter but I am one unlike many who believes in what-ifs. "Then student five hundred and forty-seven shall we continue forward?"
"En, as the Madam wishes, this student will humbly comply."
Walking down the hallway with the voice of the madam Quain once again in my ears for the next twenty minutes or so, I was later led directly into the area where I will spend the night.
The code was handed, and the door slid back to open. Inside was a small bed with a pillow and cover, the opposite was a door that probably led to the bathroom area.
"This is your room for the night. You will be allocated to your pertinent residence upon the completion of the test tomorrow. Farewell student five hundred and forty-seven."
"Farewell madam Quain." The woman turned and walked away while I closed and locked the door immediately stripping to take a shower. It did not take long giving me a refreshing feeling. After I moisturised my skin, dressed and climbed into the bed and closed my eyes after sending out a message.
Upon waking the next day I showered, dressed and are. Soon after following the other students, I entered a large hall. Inside had vaulted ceilings with floor to ceiling stained glass windows. I found that even this hall seemed to be breathtakingly beautiful.
A woman who looked oddly familiar walked on the raised dais ahead. She turned and looked at the crowd of girls before her before parting perfectly shaped lips and speaking. "Greets to all students present. My name is Madam Quain. I am the director of this school who will, today oversee the tests along with a selection of Madam Lecturers. "She paused, scanning the surroundings before continuing. "The students present have no family names and will from now until they leave the school grounds be renowned by their assigned numbers or ranks..."
I listened attentively, blanking out everything else around me. This is a way to better myself in the future.
This will be a foundation to step among the meat--humans and survive in this world firmly hugging my thigh.
Of course, I will not only depend on him but assist him in standing above all the rest in this world.
Heh, I suppose it is ambition, but without this, I will suffer miserably as my body did or even worse when those Orcas arrive.
I am definitely not naive enough to think that such genius creatures would not blend among the humans and enter this new world.
"... Once again I would like to welcome all students chosen and have accepted followed by those who have applied. Follow the designated classroom madam to your homeroom." Everything said the school director scanned the Crowd before walking off the stage. Soon after our numbers were called and out.
" Number twenty-three, forty-seven, three hundred and two, four hundred and sixteen... " staying in my seat but listening for my new identity to be called. "Hello, I am number given three hundred and twenty-three. What is your number?" the girl to my right asked, her eyes were quite large in her otherwise small face, the nose was nothing more than a little Button with a small mouth. This human is rather cute with a passable voice making me feel quite amicable to her almost right away. After looking her over I then replied in a soft tone, "Student number five hundred and forty-seven greets fellow student." The girl wiggled in her seat. I felt that this girl is really likeable which is extremely rare.
"Nice to meet you-"
"Student number three hundred and twenty-three." The girl stood bowed a bit before walking towards the madam who had called her number.
Many others followed suit until mines were called. Well, it seems I am in the same class as this girl. Each student seems to be accounted for, the madam led us in two lines before entering a room with twenty-five desks and chairs.
"Students at present will not have any assigned seats so please take any as you wish. The test will begin in ten minutes." after saying that the madam who has yet to announce her name walked to her seat. I took a seat in the middle row on the left, the person who took the available seat on my right in the girl I had spoken to before.
A while later the other students had taken their seats, the madam looked up at us and spoke once again her voice carrying clearly through the large room.
"Greetings to all students. Your results after completing the test, will represent your permanent place in the classes. For now, I will hand out the test, please complete the test within the thirty minutes time allotted. A passing score is ninety points below that is a fail. Students please open your school files and select the test." doing as the madam said I opened the file and felt quite shocked at what I saw. Two hundred mixed questions are to be completed in thirty minutes.
Note:
Greets: I thought as an Otherworldly novel, saying this seems better than the traditional 'greetings, hello, welcome.'
