Thomas opened the box and his eyes lit up in excitement.
The box included a book, three uniforms, a map of the academy and a paper which was about his classes.
First of all, he read the book. It was about rules and regulations. After finished reading, he then moved to the uniforms. Those uniforms were not normal. They had a special ability.
As Thomas heard from his father, the uniforms the academy gave them couldn't tear ever.
When some students transform, these uniforms might get torn and would be useless.
So these uniforms were specially made for that purpose. These uniforms wouldn't tear. When they transform, they would just adjust according to the body.
When Thomas arrived at the academy, he was already wearing a uniform. But these were different. That uniform he came wearing was resembling the academy. These uniforms were to wear when they had to practise or train. So during the time they were at the academy, they would wear this all the time.
Thomas already had an understanding of those things.
These uniforms for training were all black. The black colour resembled their academy.
After he checked the uniforms, he put the map aside. He took the paper about classes and read it through.
According to that, he had to attend class everyday day at 7 am. He had 6 classmates and his class teacher named Henrik Kadsin.
And there was a special class every day at night.
It said the special class is held from 6 pm to 8 pm.
They were gonna have a hard time.
"Class 3046... I wonder what class Kevin is in?"
Even Though he wanted to ask him, he gave up that idea because it was time for them to sleep. If he takes too much time, it will be hard for him to wake up early.
So Thomas laid on his bed and closed his eyes.
'I hope everything will happen for good.'
The next day, Thomas woke up at 5 am. He was scared of being late. So he naturally woke up so early.
After lazing out for about half an hour, he finally got ready.
He put on his uniform and took a look in the mirror.
"I don't even know what I am? What are these all for?"
He was greatly disappointed.
If the children were to take after their parents, all the late bloomers wouldn't have to worry much about their beast form. But the forms doesn't have to do anything with the parents. Only a few people got the same beast form as their mother or father. It was really rare.
And also it became a problem for so many students. If the child is a rabbit and the father is a tiger, the family of course won't be happy. So a lot of students lived with stress coming from their families. And sometimes the child was more powerful than the parents. In that case, some people get arrogant and feel ashamed of their parents. So in the end, that parents will suffer alone.
But Thomas knew his parents won't make a fuss about what he is. Even if he was trash, his mother and father would still cherish him.
After tying up his hair into a high ponytail, he came out of the room.
He knocked on the door of Kevin's room which was located next to his room.
"Coming!"
Kevin shouted from the inside.
"Good Morning!"
Thomas was invited to his room. So he stepped in and saw Kevin was still putting on his uniform.
"Kevin, did you read about the special class?"
Thomas sat on a chair and asked him.
"Mmm... I feel like it won't be an easy class. However, we will have to go."
Kevin also seemed to not be happy about that.
"I am done. Let's go and collect Nick too."
After Kevin was also ready to go, both Kevin and Thomas left to see Nick. When they were about to knock on his door, Nick came out. He was also about to come out to see them.
"Then let's go. What are your classes?"
While they were on the way to the classes, they realised three of them had to attend three classes. They had to go their separate ways.
After wishing luck to each other, the three of them went to find their classes. It was not hard to find the classes. They had the number printed on the door of each room.
As Thomas finally found his class, he knocked on the door.
"Come in."
He was nervous. But he was careful enough to not show off.
"What is your name?"
When Thomas entered the classroom, he was fascinated by seeing the inside. It was not like a classroom but also a playground. So huge!
Unlike in a regular classroom, there were no chairs or tables. This place was for training. That was the only thing they had to do in this academy.
"Thomas Morland."
He answered the person who asked the question.
He must be his class teacher. At the first glance, it was easy to say he looked like a professor. The long coat, the rim glasses, and his elegant way of talking. A perfect man!
"Thomas...Mm... Okay, wait there until the class starts."
He pointed at the corner of the class. Three more students were sitting on the ground there.
"Okay."
Thomas walked to the corner and sat down silently.
After waiting for more than half an hour, finally, all the students gathered.
7 students!
But it was already past 7.30. Some of them were late on the first day.
"Okay, students! First, let me introduce myself. My name is Henrik Kadsin. I am your class teacher from now on. I hope we can get along well. But first, I would like to remind you that I hate people who don't work on time. If any of you come late again, there will be a punishment you will never forget."
As he warned first, everyone got goosebumps. Their class teacher seemed to be a strict person.
"Okay! Let's start our class then. Today, I am gonna teach you how to transform whenever you want, without wasting your time. When all of you mastered that, we will move to the next session."
The teacher started the class.
Even though the other students looked excited, Thomas got gloomy.
"Thomas! Don't feel down. I have something else for you."
He seemed to understand how Thomas was feeling. He didn't let him feel down.
His classmates realised that Thomas was a late bloomer. They didn't want to be friends with someone weak. So they avoided him intentionally. Thomas also didn't want to make friends with people who look down on weak people just because they think they are a burden.
While they learned how to transform as quickly as possible, Henrik taught something else to Thomas. He taught some meditations to calm himself down in any special situation.
He didn't avoid or get annoyed by Thomas. He was the same teacher for them and also for Thomas.
"I will teach you the skill of how to transform. But since you can't try, you will have to keep this in your mind. Later you can practise it by yourself without any problem."
Thomas learned the theory from Henrik. He seemed to be so patient. He described each step clearly.
After letting Thomas study it, he checked if the other students were doing well.
"That's it for today. See you tomorrow!"
The class ended after a tiresome period.
No matter what, their classes would end at 1.00 pm. All the classes followed the same rules. So, Thomas, Kevin, and Nick were able to go back to their dorms together.
Before they left they didn't forget to visit the two girls, Lily and Sheli.
Since it was not a must to go to their dorms after classes, the five students sat down on a bench in the garden and had a meeting.
