Anyway, since the people around me were averting their faces, I decided to just take a leisure walk around the hallways. Unlike in my old world, I was in no time pressure to come to my class, so I went around to observe the Conclave casually for myself.
Think of it like I'm a supervisor doing his rounds. Not only do I get the opportunity to get myself acquainted to this place, I also have the chance to get to know everyone.
"..."
I thought I would have a peaceful 'observation' all the way into my classroom. Soon, however, something—or someone—caught my attention.
"Come on Nari! Tama'lee needs some help! Let Tama'lee borrow Nari's notes!"
"No."
"Please help Tama'lee!"
From where I was, I could see a muscular demon lady, with a single horn on her head, pleading before another demon girl with three little horns and dark sclera in her eyes. Initially, I thought the former was bullying the latter, since her body size hopelessly outmatched the three-horned girl. However, upon listening to their talk, I realized the bigger demon lady was just asking for her friend's notebook.
"I taught you," the three-horned demon girl told her friend. "Three times already."
"But Tama'lee can't seem to get it!" the muscular demon lady countered. "Teach Tama'lee again!"
"I'm tired."
"Don't give up on Tama'lee!"
Watching them felt like I was on a comedy show with bad comedians. Normally, I would just let it pass and continue on my way. However, I heard that the three-horned demon girl had already taught the bigger demon lady 'three times' of the same lesson.
"..."
And since I was aiming to impress, I went over and tried to talk to them.
"Hey!"
"Kyaaa!" both of them were startled when I showed up. The muscular demon lady even hugged her friend in surprise.
"I'm sorry for the sudden appearance," I tried to smile my way out. "My name's Greg, and I'm here as a special scholar."
"Oh! Aren't you the human special scholar?" the muscular demon lady asked. "Tama'lee knows about you!"
"Nari Tambara," said the three-horned demon girl.
"Eh?"
"Nari just said her name, Special Scholar!" the muscular demon lady explained. "Just like Tama'lee said hers."
"So, uh, you're Tama'lee and she's Nari Tambara?"
The bigger demon nodded, and added, "Tama'lee's from the Orc Clan, while Nari is from the Tambara Clan of lycanthropes." She also pointed out to the horns of their heads to show the difference, as well as their skin tones.
"Hoh..." I tried examining them as quickly as possible; I don't want to be called 'rude' for looking too much. So, if I may say, the orcs of Cherflammen have a single horn, green skin (like the goblins) and muscular body frames, while the werewolves here possessed three little horns, dark sclera and human-like skin color.
"Special Scholar needs help?" I heard Nari asked her friend.
"Tama'lee doesn't know," was the orc's reply, with a shrug.
"Ah, my apologies for disturbing you guys. I can't help but listen to your talk earlier."
"It's Tama'lee's fault," the werewolf reiterated.
