| Chapter 18 – Like Father, Like Son |
The principal stared at his two nude students for a second before coughing uncomfortably.
"I'm whose dad? Also, please put on some clothes. This isn't a sauna." The wolf said.
"Damian." Replied Roc dryly, moving his hand to cover his dick.
Immediately, the wolf's expression changed to a more serious one. He breathed out of his nose a bit harder than usual.
"I see what's happened. How about you two go to your rooms, get dressed or take a shower or whatever, and I'll have go a quick talk with my son." The principal said, pointing towards the hallway.
Roya and Roc exchanged an awkward nod before running to the hallway, making their way back to their rooms. Mere seconds after the door to the hallway closed behind them, Damian and Malai entered the dining hall, slightly tired from chasing the two students. There, the principal was still waiting for them.
"Where did they go?" Damian asked the principal with a slightly annoyed undertone. Without hesitation, the principal pointed towards the hallway.
"Room 263, I believe. You know what to do Damian, don't disappoint me. Tomorrow is the big event, I want everyone to be there. Especially our two talents." The principal smirked.
Damian nodded and gestured the caracal to follow the two students. "Sorry dad, I'll stop playing with my food." He replied, before chasing the caracal. As he disappeared, the principal sighed. From his jacket, he revealed a remote control which he pointed at the wall, before pressing the giant on/off button. From the wall behind the podium, where he'd held his regular speeches, a big white screen rolled down from the ceiling. Across from the room, a projector turned on and displayed a giant green-and-black spiral on the screen. The spiral pulsated and swirled at irregular speeds, with words like 'obey' and 'sleep' occasionally appearing for a few frames, before disappearing again – making room for another subliminal message to take its' place. The principal smirked and turned the projector off again, rubbing his hands together.
"Looks like everything is working just fine." He said to himself. The projector rolled back into the ceiling and the dining room returned to normal. The principal put the remote back in his jacket and walked back to his room.
Meanwhile, Roc and Roya arrived at their room. Roya opened the door and the two students snuck inside. They turned on the lights in order to easily navigate their room and find their clothing. However, the sudden change of illumination woke up Oliver. The goat groaned before groggily looking at his two roommates standing naked in the middle of the room. His facial expression quickly turned from sleepy to disgusted as he shouted at his two roommates.
"what the fuck are you two doing in the middle of the night? And where the fuck are your clothes?" he asked.
Like two deer caught in headlights, Roc and Roya stared at their roommate and covered themselves with whatever they could find in their closet. The goat stared at the two blushing students before laughing. "As long as you guys use protection I'm fine with whatever you do."
The fox blushed but quickly regathered himself. He stepped into his underpants, pulled them up, turned off the lights and as he climbed into his bed he started to explain what happened. When the fox eventually stopped talking, Oliver stayed quiet for a while. Eventually, the goat replied.
"This is why I was so hesitant about Unlocking on your first day. They normalize hypnosis, conditioning everyone to think that it's normal when in reality they're just checking to see who are the most willing and suggestible. That way they search for which students to join their hypnotic games. It's what happened to the caracal, it's what happened to the horse. Didn't it ever occur to you that it's weird that, besides me, there appear to be no older students?"
