"Sweetie?" My mother's concerned voice echoed through my ears as I was processing that my voice was different.
"S-sorry." I spoke a bit more slowly this time and it only confirmed that I now sounded like a woman. Now I needed to know if I physically changed or if I had just turned into a 12-year-old boy and if I'm honest I hope it's the first outcome.
Taking a deep breath, I prepared myself for the worst and quickly look down. However, what I saw made my brain stop working, it was hard to accept the reality, but I had also physically changed into a woman.
'I don't know if I should be freaking out now that I'm a woman or be happy that my life actually changed.' I was conflicted about how I should react since it felt extremely creepy to rave about my new assets, but at the same time, it isn't like someone else is in my head…. I hope.
"Saki?" My mother was getting progressively more worried as she witnessed me examine my entire body again.
"Oh yes, just making sure all of me is here. The dream I had felt too realistic." Quickly giving a false explanation of what happened, my mother believed it with no questions asked giving me some breathing room.
"Alright… if you need anything I will be in the kitchen and don't stay in bed for too long, you need to get ready for your first day at the magic academy." My mother then leaned in giving me a kiss on the forehead before leaving for the kitchen.
Putting my hand on the spot where she just kissed me, almost brought me to tears as it was the motherly love, I had been missing almost all my life.
'Fuck, since when I was just a crybaby and am I going to ignore the fact she just said MAGIC ACADEMY?!?!' It finally clicked in my head what my mother told me… there is a real magic academy. My fantasy of being transported into a new world and learning magic was becoming a reality. It had always been a dream to be in one but for it to actually be happening didn't sound right.
'Surely this isn't real.' I look around my room which was rather bland coming straight from the 1800's, but it was still very clean and tidy.
'Everything looks so real… I guess I really am here.' I had my own desk with draws as well as a full bookshelf which made me notice that the language was no longer English. My brain somehow could still read the spines of the books, but the letters now resembled ancient runes.
'Thank whatever god allowed me to read this new language.' It was a relief, but it made me wonder why and what it would be like if I suddenly became illiterate since it seemed that I was an avid reader.
'I should probably get up.' Realising that time seemed to move as normal it was getting harder to deny that this was just an elaborate lucid dream.
Stepping on the wooden floorboards I instantly felt the difference in strength in my body almost causing me to trip on air.
'Seems like my muscle memory also came with me.' Grabbing the ledge of my bedside table, I balanced myself getting used to the new body. Once I was adjusted, I spotted what seemed to be a closet.
Opening up the closet I saw a school uniform for summer and winter. However, the only issue was that I had no idea what season it was.
"Mum! What season is it?" Taking full advantage of the fact that I now have a mother, I quickly ask instead of trying to guess the season by looking out the window.
"Saki, you know it should be summer or did all that sleeping during the break throw your internal clock out of whack." My mother yelled back with a slightly teasing tone which made me embarrassed that I even asked in the first place, but it was necessary if I didn't want to get in trouble on my very first day.
'I'm accepting this reality way too quickly.' It felt like I shouldn't be as calm as I am, but….
'It isn't like I was happy with my life before I was transported here.' It was… sad to think about, but the fact that I was willing to throw away my life for a new one so easily helped me adjust to this new environment. It truly felt like my life had restarted and that maybe I can be normal.
'Ah no need to think about that now, if I truly am starting a new life, I need to not fuck it up.' Shaking my head to get rid of the thoughts, I took out the summer uniform from the closet. However, upon taking it out, another reality check.
'I'm a woman now.' Seeing the short skirt that I was given for summer, reality hit me right in the face. The only save and grace was the pair of stockings at the bottom of the closet, but even then that felt weird to put on.
'Urghh, maybe this is a nightmare and not some blissful dream. I thought being a woman would be a great change, but now I'm starting to see all the kinds of problems I will run into.' It wasn't a nice thought. I couldn't help but let all the horror stories roll through my head thinking they will happen to me.
'Surely it's a super low chance… there is magic after all.' Trying to cope with the fact I could have a potential way to defend myself, it would soon be ruined since it also meant that anyone after me will also have magic.
'Just get ready, I won't know until I actually go.' It was a never-ending cycle so I opted to just shut my brain off and put the clothes on. Stripping down seeing the kind of underwear I wore which was just simple black panties and a bra. A sudden warm feeling appeared between my legs and I knew instantly what it was.
'The fuck is wrong with me.' Slapping myself in the face, I felt my brain crashing once again unable to process that this was my new body.
'Just put the clothes on.' Quickly getting myself dressed, I was able to calm down and look at myself properly.
As I was about to shut the door I realised there was a mirror, finally getting a proper look at my own face and how the uniform looked.
'Wow.' Being stunned locked by my own face, it took me a minute to snap out of it and realise I was getting attracted to myself again.
'Fuck why is it so hard to not see me in a lewd way!' Like the degenerate I was, images played in my head of many different lewd scenarios.
I needed to stop these kinds of thoughts, so the best I could come up with was to focus and just stare. Engrain in my mind that this is who I am now and that this is my body.
Looking deeply into the mirror, I scanned myself trying to imprint the image into my mind. I had bright yellow eyes and hair that went down to my waist. I also seemed to have shrunk in height, being around 168cm. However, that lost height seemed to have gone to my chest... I think they are a size B? No idea how the measurement worked, but they looked pretty average-sized, maybe a little bigger.
'Ahem anyway, I look… kind of cute.' The uniform I wore resembled typical school clothes with a white shirt tucked into a short black skirt. There was also a purple bowtie that was used to hold a shoulder cape, which slightly covered the front of my shoulders and flowed down just to the rim of my skirt.
A small slit was also located in the back of the cape and shirt that allowed my tail to poke through freely. I wouldn't have thought of fox tails being super flexible, but despite all the fluff, I was able to squish it past my clothes while putting them on.
'I kind of dig the fox traits. They are so fluffy and make me look more… mature?' Doing a small spin in the mirror, I was finally enjoying the new look. My brain was finally registering that I have a new body and no lewd thoughts rushed through my head.
"Phew, now I should see if I have a bag." Taking a deep breath to reset myself, I look around my room trying to see if there was a bag I needed to take. Looking on the seat of my desk I found a bag just big enough to hold a few textbooks.
Looking inside it, I was relieved to find it was already packed saving me the stress of figuring out what to bring.
"Saki! Breakfast is ready!" Suddenly as I was looking through my bag my mother called for me. I had no idea what time it was and when the academy would start, so I grabbed my bag and walked out to the kitchen.
Coming out to what looked like a living room, the place had definitely seen better days, but it was clearly well maintained and no doubt because of my mother.
"Good to see you are ready, did you pack everything?" While my mother spoke she placed a typical egg-on-toast breakfast on the table.
"I think so? Now that the time has come my mind is kind of going blank." I wasn't sure how I should act seeing as I straight up took this person's spot in life, but I hoped if I acted like I usually would, my mother wouldn't notice.
'Should I even be calling her mother? She does look exactly like mine from my previous life, but just with an added tail and ears.' It felt wrong to say she was my mother, but there was no denying the similarities. However, it would be weird if I suddenly stopped calling her mother, so I better just stick with it.
"Haha that's understandable, did you need me to use the information spell on you again that the school sent us?" Offering to use a spell I didn't expect to exist I would of course graciously accept.
'It seems like magic is a lot more in-depth than I thought.' It was useful to know that magic had different applications other than just controlling water or any other element.
"Yes please." I answered as I took a seat while my mother walked off into a different room. Coming back out with what looked like a scroll, my mother walked behind me while muttering something.
Suddenly the contents on the scroll shone a bright white and felt my mind slip away into darkness.
