New semester (2)

"Mare get up here."

As their new teacher suddenly called on one of them by name, and the transfer student of all people attention gathered on the small beastkin in question.

"..Why?"

Speaking for the second time that day Mai was once again admired her voice that still carried traces of reluctance.

"Because."

"I don't wanna."

"Just do it, I'll be good for you to learn a bit more restraint."

"... Fine."

Judging form that belief exchange most of the class seemed to pick up on the connection the new teacher and transfer student seemingly shared, which only added to the mystery surrounding them.

"Teacher I have a question!"

"What is it Rudy?"

"Miss Lux do you know Mare?"

(... Good job Rudy.)

Mai could only internally sigh at the compelate social ineptitude of her friend while at the same time commending him, after all she and her classmates all really wanted to know the answer to that question!

"I do. This child is sort of a student of mine."
