Unable to resist the temptation any longer, Rhen decides to touch fulffy ears. He reaches out with trembling to touch the delicate pink ears that twitched before him. He felt his brother's awkward gaze suspiciously watching his every move.
"Uhhh... What are you dong?" Azrel questions Rhen's dubious actions.
Before committing an act that could harm his reputation, Rhen snatches his outstretched hand with the other, preventing him from doing so.
"Heh... Not to today." He chuckles after almost losing his cool for a pair of fluffy ears.
Before Rhen are two cat girls that appear so similar, right down to their fair complexion, he can saftely call them twins at this point.
One of the Cat girls close to him is looking at her phone texting with one of her legs perched on top the table.
She has straight medium-length pink hair with a hairstyle resembling that of a Gyaru.
The Gyaru's blazer is absent and her white inner uniform is out in the open just like the bullies earlier. Despite her uniform forming a V on her chest, Rhen can't see her cleavage for she has none, her petite body is as straight as a stick.
She notices Rhen looking at her and glares with furrowed brows before resuming her diligent duties of texting.
The other Cat Girl looks exactly like the Gyaru in terms of looks, her eye color is pink and her hair is combed straight down at the level just slightly below her underarm. She also has a triangular clip holding her bangs to the side. Unlike her gyaru of a sister, she looks more prim and proper. She wears her uniform properly.
The prim cat girl is stealthily eating a cake from under the table. Despite eating sweets, it somehow all it goes to her bust and thighs as she has a more curvy look compared to her stick of a sister.
On her desk s a doodle a very realistic picture of a rabbit, and it appears that she's drawing another one right beside it.
They certainly won't win any beauty contest like Aliana or Scarlet, but pretty enough to be cute just like that platinum-blonde High Elf earlier, not to mention having cat ears and a tail is a plus.
To their far side are two empty seats right for the taking.
"Excuse me." Rhen told them, but there was no answer, and they both ignored him.
"Excuse me." He told them once more.
Finally the Gyaru responds. "Are you two the new bread shuttle?" The Gyaru didn't care to look at him and kept texting on her phone.
Annoyed, Rhen immediately took her phone away checking what she's so busy with, it looks like she's organizing the money seized from the bread shuttles within her territory which is this class.
"HEY! Give it back. Do you know who you're messing with?" Startled, she grits her teeth at Rhen with puffed cheeks.
"Cats?" Rhen spoke his mind.
"Hisss! Were the boss of this class, Mia" pointing to herself.
"And Nia." Mia gestures to her sister, the Prim Cat girl.
"Hello." The Nia waves at him with a soft smile.
"Hi," Rhen also return her greetings with a half-simper.
"Give it back myaaa!" Mia the Gyaru leaps up and down, attempting to steal her phone from Rhen's clutches, but she's too little, she can barely reach Rhen's chest.
"Teacher this girl texting in class and won't let us sit." Rhen calls for Isabella's attention and show her the phone.
"MIA! Behave or I'll tell your mother what you're doing in class in the parent-teacher conference."
"What!? No way myah." Mia sulks and takes a proper seat.
Rhen gives her phone back and take a seat along Nia while Azrel sits on the far end near the window.
The class begins without incident.
...
Mia continues to use her phone, this time under the table, despite Isabella's warnings. Nia, on the other hand, stealthily opens her book before sketching from underneath as if taking notes.
"We are going to talk about Ranks today, tell me what defines a Rank, Anyone?"
Alfie extends her hand.
"Yes Princess, please enlighten us."
"Ranks are defined by the amount of experience you have, with experience being the combat experience given to you by the Guild's system in order to Rank-up."
"However, no two Ranks are alike. Each of us is unique, from the quantity of Magic we can emit to the amount of power we can exert, namely stats. When compared to a mutt, High Elves are also by far the strongest race due to their superior magical powers." Alfie sneers at the Demihumans on the other side; it appears that the feud between the two factions run deep.
"Hey take that back bitch, I'll rip your face apart. You just hide behind your guards."
"Silence!" Isabella bangs the board and glances in Rhen's direction.
"How about we let the transfer student read chapter 5 about magic circles?" She says so in glee.
"(Uhh I don't have a book.)" Rhen thought.
He glances about and see's Nia's unattended book, but it is open at chapter 35; luckily, she spots him and places the book between Rhen and her; she then switches to chapter 5. Despite Nia's doodling, she appears to be aware of the events happening inside the class.
Unlike her sister, she is fairly pleasant despite being a school boss.
Rhen reads the passage aloud. "Magic circles are formed by the use of power runes, which are written in an ancient tongue and serve as a circuit to activate a spell such as Fireball."
"Then please come down show the class how it is written." Isabella stated.
Rhen heads down and draw a simple fireball magic circle that any beginner may utilize.

After writing Rhen's version of the said runes, he walks back to his seat with all of the students scratching their heads as to what he just wrote down.
"Uhhhhh… That is right, but you won't learn that unless you have Codesmithing in your curriculum. Plus points for trying thou" Isabella grins awkwardly for she did not expect that answer.
She then writes the correct answer on the board, which consists of a few lines of text that is significantly easier for new pupils to understand but far less customizable than Rhen's code.
The lesson resumes, and after a few minutes, Rhen is bored because there isn't much new information to gain from the session.
He entertain yourself by fiddling with his pen. When he looks to his left and notice Azrel dozing off, so Rhen leaves him alone.
When Rhen returns to Nia's doodling, the lone bunny he saw earlier has grown to five. They've all become one huge happy family.
Bored, he draws an ugly doddle of carrots next to the bunny, as if feeding it. Nia coyly chuckles and drew the carrot properly.
It looks like she's enjoying his company, Rhen may continue doodling with her or learn something new, so he decides to.
-
[Continue playing with her]
[Learn something new in class]
[Sleep]
-
Continue doodling with her and make another drawing, only this time, he draws a stick man drinking soup with an arrow implying the rabbit is in the soup.
Nia's cat ears twitch, her eyes furrowed, and her cheeks puffed as she glares at him.
Rhen smirked with delight. "I'm Rhen Le Straza, What's your name?" He scribbled in her notebook.
"Nia Leonhart." Her cursive writing looks like a piece of art when compared to Rhen's all-caps writing.
"New student?" Nia added in text.
"Yup"
"Friends?"
Rhen shrugs and put "Alright." Even if he didn't mean it.
"Yay♫" Nia also made sure to draw down the note. Her cat ears perk up, as if inviting him to stroke her.
-
[Touch fluffy ears]
[Back out]
-
Rhen couldn't resist the urge to touch fluffy ears. He reached out intently, but just as his fingers were about to make contact, the ears flicked his hands, as if they had a mind of their own.
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had been so close to experiencing the softness of those ears, all it takes is a bit more push.
"(Heh... What the hell am I doing)" He thought. Nia notices Rhen silently chuckling without reason and finds it strange.
The class finally concluded after the school bell. "Alright, class this is dismissed."
The class become noisy now that Isabella has left. The majority of the chatter revolves around Rhen and Azrel as to how to get their attention, with the exception of Emma as she is watching every move Rhen makes.
Most of the students are hesitant to approach the transferees because of their proximity to Mia and Nia.
"(The student has managed to interact the local bully. Blissfully unaware that they are the boss in the class, he manages to befriend with one of them.)" Emma scribbles down the scenes as soon as she can in her notepad.
For the time being, Rhen leaves her to her own devices; Emma is as harmless as a rat to him.
*yawns*
Azrel stretches his arms yawning. "I'm glad that's over"
e checks his phone for messages from Scarlet. "I gotta go Rhen, Scarlet is calling me over to the cafeteria."
He quickly leaps across the seat after excusing himself, ignoring the two girls beside Rhen. When Azrel passes by Emma, she didn't take note as she is exclusively interested in Rhen and not in Azrel.
With Azrel out of the picture, Mia finally makes her move against Rhen.
"Hey, bread shuttle I want some juice and a sandwich on the double, myah."
Rhen respects Scarlet's words and play it nice. He takes Nia's notebook and doodles a crude-looking Cat loaf shuttle carrying juice and a sandwich on it's mouth, which he then presents to Mia, who is still on her phone.
"What's this myaa!?" Enraged, Mia immediately stops what she's doing and gets to her feet.
"Stop looking down on me! I said I want Juice and a sandwich, not a drawing or I'll beat you to a pulp!" Mia's ears and tail tense up as she rolls up her sleeve in anticipation for battle.
