The Frozen Melody

22.Gizon.

During the next two days, non-human creatures took their practical exams to determine their magic power levels, and together with their written exam scores, they were placed in the appropriate leveled classes.

To Tyson’s surprise, he was able to complete all the magical tasks without much trouble. It was as if he had powers that he didn’t know he had, and when he followed the instructions, the spells just came out naturally. His practical exam scores managed to put him in the senior classes along with Remond, but his written scores were a mess... Excluding math, Tyson managed to fail all the other subjects and was placed in the same class as grade school kids.

It was discouraging to be so far behind with his studies. Though Tyson was quickly cheered up when he met with the store owner after school, and was told he will officially start his job the coming weekend. The boy was ecstatic; he can finally earn some real money to help his family. 

In general, those few days of school passed pretty peacefully; or as peacefully as possible for Tyson who used to be an ex-soldier turned sex slave.

He had the most trouble when it came to talking to the teachers. With no prior experience in a normal school, the boy treated the authority figures as he would a commanding officer. It was a nerve wracking experience when they spoke directly to him, and he automatically reacted in a way he was familiar with. Much to his classmates' delight, Tyson would snap to a stiff standing position and even salute when teachers called on him in class.

Tyson's fame spread quickly among the students after the incident that happened on the second day of school. The humans and their Companions had a combined gym period with another upper year class that afternoon. Since it was a nice autumn day, the teachers decided they would take advantage of the warm weather by having a swimming class. All the students were thrilled; they rarely ever got to swim because of Northland's mostly cold weather.

Amidst the chaos of his rowdy classmates, Tyson lost sight of Remond. The boy wasn't too worried and decided to follow the crowd to change; not realizing it was all girls.

With no shame or hesitation, Tyson walked straight into the girls' changing room and began stripping down.

The girls were completely flabbergasted.

It took them a minute before someone finally snapped out of it with an ear piercing scream. And a second later, all the embarrassed girls were throwing things at the baffled boy, calling him a pervert.

Hibie was at the back of the large change room when she heard the commotion and came to check out the excitement.

"Tyson! What're you doing here?!" She exclaimed and pushed her way to the front.

Panicking and confused, Tyson instantly shifted into his wolf form and ran straight to the girl for protection. Her familiar scent was the only thing keeping him from running straight back home to Keith.

The girl quickly kneeled down to hug the shivering Tyson, calming him down. The other girls also quieted down upon seeing the little wolf's scared submissive posture.

Hibie explained that Tyson had never went to a school before, so he wasn't aware of things like change rooms for different genders.

Seeing that it was just a huge lack of knowledge on his part, the boy shifted back and bowed down to everyone begging forgiveness.

With the explanation and the heartfelt apology, the girls easily forgave Tyson. Tension swiftly dispersed around the whole situation to be replaced with laughing and teasing; who could possibly stay mad at those mournful puppy eyes?

However, the teacher still punished Tyson in order to prevent other boys from doing the same thing in the future. In the end, the boy had to sit on the sidelines and write a letter of apology.
