Of A Different Kind

Chapter 3

There was a collection of gasps, and Rowan read the Species listed.

'Angel, Fairy, Neko'

What did this mean? How did he have more than one?

The headmaster walked forward and cleared her throat.

"We seem to have a.. very special.. student joining us. He is what they call a Hybrid, and is very rare and unique. Judging by his Species, he is also an Omega, which makes this matter even more rare. Rowan, dear, we welcome you so warmly. You are a gift to this Academy." She said and smiled.

Rowan felt a blush creeping up his neck and to his face, so he put his head down and spoke softly, "Thank you very much, I hope that I'm able to do what I can here for the Academy and learn what I'm to do in the future for this World."

He glanced up and he could see, from behind the Headmaster, that many other people who Rowan assumed were Professors were smiling at him. Rowan smiles back slightly and bowed his head slightly, before turning to look at all the other students. He had a quick moment to look at everyone while he was walking to his seat at the table where the new students sat.

Everyone was very handsome and beautiful, the Professors has been too. Were people of this World naturally attractive because they were different? It was likely, seeing as though almost everything about them was different than humans.

As he sat down, there were still many eyes on him, and he could feel the blush coming back. He put his hands in his lap and fiddled with his fingers. The table where the tests had been taken was taken away, and the Headmaster had come back up to a podium, and was about to give a speech.

"All new students, welcome! My name is Headmaster Maryweather. As of today, this will be your new home for the next three years as you learn your roles, about your Species, how to control yourselves and your powers, and become prepared for your future duty as the species you are now. We all welcome you warmly, and hope that you enjoy your stay here. Now, as it is nearing Supper, you will see the plates in front of you, you request what you would like by simply grasping the plates rim and thinking what you would like. Enjoy, everyone!" She finished her speech and there was a light round of applause that Rowan joined in on briefly.

Looking down at his plate, Rowan wondered what he wanted. He put his fingers on the rim of the plate and thought, 'I would like.. roasted chicken breast with rosemary, grilled asparagus, and mashed potatoes with white gravy'

Suddenly, what he requested filled his plate and he smiled softly, this was a meal that was cooked for him a lot by the maids at home, and it was delicious. He got his utensils from beside his plate and put his napkin in his lap. As he started cutting his chicken, he glanced up at everyone around him at the table. Many were looking at him. And he didn't like it that much.
