Waiting For The Light

The Galhand High School

The letters said that all the students who got invited must come to school. Once you entered there no matter what you couldn't be able to go back. To save all the secrets, students have to stay there until they graduate. 

So they weren't able to meet their parents or loved ones until they graduate. This Galhand school was like a small town. It had all things that are in a town. Because the students have to stay there until they graduate. So the school made them feel no different from their normal life. 

 Benjamin was also not an ordinary boy. He also has a beast form and special powers, but he hasn't been able to awaken his form or powers yet. Even though he wasn't normal he didn't know about the speciality of the school. 

He just thought that he got lucky to enter a school. He wanted to study. He loved that. Since he was invited, he packed up his things and came out of the apartment. 

Since he was a single person, the school informed him that a person will come and pick him up. He got a location. So he was waiting for the person who come to pick up him. Then he saw a person walking toward him. 

" Benjamin Clark?

" Yes, it's me "

"Come with me, I am here to pick you up " 

"Thank you "

Then Benjamin walked in the direction that person showed. Then that person opened the car door and post a gesture saying him to get in. He got in the car and the next moment car disappeared from there at a glance. 

 But Benjamin who was inside the car didn't feel anything. He felt like he wants to puke. 

"Excuse me, Mister please I want to ..."

But the next moment he fainted.

The other one just stared at him and sighed.

"It's always the same. Why are these guys can't even bear to stay alert when they are going with me? My bad... "

 The guy then picked him up.

" You're more like your mother ...Little guy you have been born with the bad luck to stay all these years alone..." 

He said while caressing Benjamin's hair.

 But Benjamin didn't hear anything. If he was in his right mind, he would have asked this guy about his parents. He had never seen his parents. He always wished if he can get a chance to know about them he will be a good boy for his whole lifetime. 

Then Benjamin started to wake up. When he woke up, the guy who picked him up wasn't there. There was a person with a tall figure. He had long black hair. Benjamin only saw his back. 

From his side, the person who stands was look like a lady. Long hair, White skin, Thin waist ...But he was wearing a suit in black. He was holding a teacup. Benjamin stood up from where he was lying. But his legs were numb and had no strength. He fell. Benjamin thought it was a lady and he wanted to call her. But when he fell, the lady he wanted to ask help from turned around. 

'It's a man'

He was dumbfounded. That face was more delicate than a girl's. He had long legs and in the suit, he was a handsome man.

With that sudden shock, Benjamin stared at him blankly without knowing what to say.

" Why are you in such a hurry? Let me help you get up" 

He helped Benjamin to get up and sit down.

Benjamin felt embarrassed.

" Excuse me, Mister but where is this? I remember I...I..."

While Benjamin was thinking about what happened finally he found out that he couldn't recall anything.

Seeing Benjamin struggle like this, that person started to talk first.

" You are Benjamin Clark right ?"

" Ah... Yes "

"How should I call you ?"

"Just call me Ben"

"Okay, Ben. My name is Mike. I am a professor at Galhand high school. From now on I will take care of you. You can call me Mike as usual.

"Okay, Mr Mike ."

"I am sure you must have forgotten what happened. You got in Peter's car and you fainted. Don't worry about that. Every person who comes with him will faint for sure. He drives that damn old car that fast. So remember not to go with him in the future. You won't be able to handle it. "

He was like a father who was giving orders to his son.

" Ah...I slightly remember ..Thank you. I will remember that"

Mike felt this little guy was so polite. Even though he was 16, he looked like a mature one when he talked so politely.

There was a smile appeared on Mike's face.

" Ben, I think you still don't know about this school. right? I will explain everything and then we have to meet the principal. You should come with me."

"Okay," Benjamin nodded.

"Your beast form still hasn't awakened, right? "

That sudden question made Benjamin's mind burst. He didn't expect him to know about that. He only knew about this beast's form and magic from his mother's letter. That was the only thing he got from his parents. He always thought there are no other person with something like that. So he didn't believe it.

" What ?.....Beast form?"

" Ben...This school is a magic school. We teach you magic and more about your beast form. Everyone who got selected to the college has this ability. This is a special school"

" So is it real ?"

"What? "

" Ah...nothing...I haven't any ability, maybe you got me wrong" He hid his expressions well.

" You are saying that we are wrong? Even though we are wrong why are you so calm? If it was a normal person he would have shocked more than how you did. Ben ...You don't have to hide anything, because everyone here is all same, Special."

" I... "

" I will explain. Your beast form still hasn't awakened. Other than you, there was another one who entered this year. You can get along well with him in the future. You and he will be in the same class. When you study here you will be able to awaken yours too. The principal told me to take care of you since you need special care while you are studying here. "

" Since I haven't even know what is my form, Can I learn magic? "

" No problem with that. The principal will show you what your form is. The other student already met up with him and found out that he will be a vampire "

" Vampire? Do they exist for real? How many types of beasts are here ?"

" I think more than 1000 types only here... All kinds of animals, plants and also other creatures.

" I see... " Benjamin got it.

" Do you have any problems? I can answer you "

"Ah...Since you are also here you also have one, right? If you don't mind Can you ....?

" You are curious, right? No problem. I will show you my form "

Then Mike closed his eyes and walked a little away from Benjamin. Then suddenly a pair of big wings appeared from his behind. His human body was still the same, but his upper body got some tattoos. His upper body was unclothed but his body, down from his waist still wore black colour long pants. His wings had red, orange, and black colours. He looked like a hybrid animal made by a human and a butterfly.

"It's a butterfly " 

'So beautiful benjamin thought.

He was amazed by Mike's this butterfly appearance. After a few moments, he changed back to normal. His wings disappeared. But his clothes were still the same as when he was normal.

"It was amazing, right? You also have a form you can transform into like that" He was happy to see Benjamin was happy seeing that.

" Yeah, That was super cool. I have heard every form has a unique ability. , right? What are yours?"

"You knew everything. Yet you were trying to fool me. Never mind. The special abilities of my form are not that special. I can fly, but everyone can't do that though. Other than that I can talk with plants. " 

"Wow? That's amazing " Benjamin was amazed just by hearing them.

" Yeah, You haven't still experienced anything like that. In the future, you will get to know more about these things. Then shall we go to meet the principal and find out your form? " 

"Yes, Let's go. I think I'm okay now. But why is it that I haven't awakened mine? "

"There are many reasons for that. Maybe because you haven't got any guide about these things or maybe ...

But now that's not important. Let's go and meet the principal " 

"Ah, okay okay."

Benjamin stood up and follow Mike to the principal's room. Benjamin was so curious to know about his form. And also he thought that he will be able to know something about his parents from here. It's because of that letter.

 He had never heard about his father or hadn't any idea about him. Ever since he was a child, the only thing he focused on was his mother. Since his mother also knew about these beasts, Benjamin guessed his mother also had a beast form.
