Waiting For The Light

Friendly Classmates

When all the students went back to their classes the desks and chairs were not there. It was just a classroom. Mike told the five to stand in a queue.

"Okay, now we are gonna start your real study. Which means training. Today we gave you a 30 minutes break because it's your first day. Since tomorrow, after the study hours, you will get a 2 hours break. During that time you should take your lunch and do other things. Then come back to the class. Today we are not gonna do anything big. You should always obey my orders and especially don't ever be late for class. Do you understand? " 

"Yes,  teacher .."

 Everyone said together.

" Then first of all we should get to know each other " Mike said and pointed his hand at a girl.

"You, tell me your name and show me what you have got "

"I am Keti. This is my beast form "

Then she closed her eyes. And started to release her beast form. What she did was the same as what Mike did before. They will close their eyes and then relax their mind and transform into their form.

Keti, this girl turned out to be a cockroach. Long but, thin two antennas appeared on her head. And her hair that was short before suddenly grew up so long and the hair seems to be under her control. When she opened her eyes they looked pink. But it was beautiful though. 

And her body also had some changes. Her legs changed into cockroaches' legs. But only two legs.

Her fingers turned into brown colour. That was something strange, others haven't seen. So they were still in a daze. 

"A cockroach ...Mmm...What can you do? "Mike asked her. He was not even moved an inch by her appearance. Looks like seeing things like this is normal for him.

" I can hear the sounds of bugs... That's the only thing I found out "

"You can't fly ?"

"I don't have any wings ..Only these "

"Okay, then we can find out what are your abilities in the future."

Mike said with a satisfied smile.

Keti looks like she is relieved.

"You all know that the powers you got are, all the abilities that your beasts have. So there is something unique about you. So don't be disappointed by who you are " 

" You can transform again," Mike said to the girl 

and she changed to her real form again.

Then Mike turned into the boy who was next to her. 

"You, What's your name? " 

The boy seems to be panicked.

" I. am Sam. "

"Show me "

" Ah... yes I can, but can you guys please step back? "He asked us.

They were curious since he said that, so they thought that he must be something big. An elephant?

Other students and the professor stepped back. To say that the classroom was pretty big. It's a waste only 6 people are there. The students thought before like this. But when this boy turned into his form they all understood why all the classrooms are this big. 

" Thank you " Sam politely said.

Benjamin was so curious to know about his classmates. So he looked at all the scenes with great interest.

Sam closed his eyes and then opened his eyes again. But nothing happened. He was still the same. Other students were confused. Did he just fail?

No, it's not. He started to change slowly. But why is it so slow? Everyone was looking at the scene. When Benjamin thought this is getting bored suddenly the boy turned out to be so big. That was so sudden. Even Mike was shocked.

Sam turned into a giant. At a glance, his body grew big. 

" You can change at a glance? But what kind of animal is your form ?" Mike asked him.

" I am a tortoise "

"But you don't have anything that looks like a tortoise. "

" That's right, sir ...I don't have anything on my body, but look at this "

He showed his hand to everyone. Since he was so big. It's nothing hard to see. He clenched his fist and then stretched it. Then a small shell appeared in front of him

That belongs to a tortoise "

He made the shell bigger.

" This is my limit, teacher." 

"That's already big enough you can change back. This is the only ability you found out ...

right ? "

"Yes, teacher " 

He said while keeping his head down. He had to look down to see the teacher.

"Okay, you will find out more, I'm sure "

Mike said with a smile.

"That was super cool ". Benjamin thought.

He felt bad for himself. Because he is nothing.

Then the one who was next to him was Benjamin. 

" Benjamin, come here," Mike said.

Benjamin walked toward Mike.

" Students, your class has a special case this time. This is Benjamin. Now he is your classmate. He still hasn't woken up his form. So you need to help him to transform into his form ...   

You all should help him to get over it. Since he has nothing to show you, let's move to the next one.....You, 

What's your name? "

" I am Lily, teacher," She said with a big smile. She looks so friendly.

"You go back to your place," Mike said to Benjamin. When he was going to his place other students looked at him with a smile. That said that they don't mind helping him. He was so relieved to get friendly classmates and roommates.

Then  Mike asked Lily to show her form.

She closed her eyes and transformed.

A puffy big tail appeared from her behind. It's long enough to reach her knees. Her eyes turned orange in colour. That was quite strange because orange colour eyes are so rare to see. Then her normal ears disappeared and cute dog ears appeared on her head. 

It's a dog? 

No, It's a fox. Her tail was so beautiful. She was even cuter with this appearance.

" A fox? What are your abilities? " 

"I am sorry teacher. I still don't know "

When she said that her ears fell.

"So cute, "Benjamin thought. But meanwhile, other students were looking at her with their big eyes. Looks like they were attracted to her beauty and cuteness... But that's strange. Why are they all blushing? 

" You don't know? Look at them ." Mike pointed his finger at the students who were looking at her.

" It's all because of you. You still don't know how to control your powers, that's why it's like this "

" This...I ...didn't ...I " She choked her words.

" It's okay ..Lily...You can practice later. I will teach you..." Mike said with a comforting voice.

Then he clapped once and the students went back to normal. Foxes are so talented in attracting others. Mike's clap brought the students back to normal. But he noticed that Benjamin hasn't attracted to her. 

"He is gonna become a powerful one "

Mike thought.

After that, she apologized to them saying that she failed to control her powers.

Then now it's time for the last person.

"Okay now, you .. What's your name ?"

"Max "

He was so disrespectful. Looks like this class have got a troublesome guy. 

" Okay, show me what you have got "

Mike said with a challenging voice.

He closed his eyes. His hand turned into claws with sharp nails. There were two long and sharp teeth that jumped out of his mouth. His hair turned into brown colour. That was awesome.

" I am a lion. I can run faster than others. And I can make small animals freeze in the same place with a look " 

"Is that it? " Mike asked him.

Others tried to control their laugh at the edge of their mouths. With his arrogance when he was asked like that he was embarrassed.

" You !.. I will find more," He said angrily.

" Sure. You will. The lion is one of the legendary great animals. But don't be arrogant. You will regret it soon"

" Yes," He seems to be angry. But he just transformed again into his real form.

 " Okay ...for today I wanted you all to know about each other. So That's all for today...I told you earlier about your tomorrow schedule. So tomorrow you should work according to that.

Then see you tomorrow. We will find out your abilities tomorrow." 

"Goodbye, " Mike said with a smile and left the classroom.

All the students were left alone in the classroom.

The situation was so awkward. All of them were so shy to talk to others. In this awkward situation

Max finally spoke first...
