"I lied", she sighed and leaned on the wooden table, and immediately, her whiskers and fur began to grow and her nose and mouth began to magically transform into a kitten's and then, her whole body automatically fluxes into a grey tabby kitten. And at that moment, Skriff, Pepper, Elliot and Andreas ran into the hall and their faces broke into smiles when they saw that Nory was already showing the whole school was she was capable of.
Professor Han's face equally broke into a smile as she fetched her stopwatch and began counting the seconds.."One....Two.... Three..., whilst Nory's UDM counterparts began chanting her name in encouragement," Nory! Nory! Nory!"
Everyone continues stared at the meowing kitten that Nory fluxed into as it settled gently on the table..."Four", Professor Han continues counting and immediately, the kitten grew dragon wings and flew off the table, like during the evaluation tests.
Everyone gasped in disappointment and then up as it flew, it grew pig's head and arms and began to fly all around, growling and scaring all the students and members of staff and they shifted backwards.
"Somebody, do something," A pissed Headmaster Knightslinger screamed with her two hands in the air. Reina who was standing there, watching the terrific scene unfold decided that she needed to so something. "Sparkle fireballs, it's her favourite, maybe it'll help", she whispers to herself and goes closer to the strange creature that was howling and growling and then she started conjuring her best friend's favorite fire streak. Hoping it'll just bring out the usual small ball of fire to calm the pig dragon kitten down, she forgot that she had already acquired shadow magic and she was shocked when it brought out a huge ball of fire with black think ends that illuminated the whole room.
Confused and not able to control it, "She asks herself, "What's happening, What is this?". And then the some of the fire escaped her hands and flickers to the face of the strange creature that Nory fluxed into, and then everyone gasped and wondered if Nory was alright.Shrieking, the creature fell to the ground and fluxed back into human Nory. "Nory", Reina gasped and ran towards her, "I'm so sorry, are you okay?", I don't know what happened, I don't know what that was, I really didn't mean to,"Reina confesses to a weak and dazed Nory.
"It's okay, I'm okay," Nory reassures her in a quiet voice while trying and failing miserably to get up. Leaving the side of the UDMs, Skriff dashed towards the two girls. "Are you sure you're okay?"Reina persisted as Skriff helped Nory up.
"Skriff,"the headmaster called in a stiff voice, getting the prompt attention of everyone in the hall. "How many times do we have to tell you to keep your charges in the bunker where they belong", Facing a disoriented Nory, the headmaster continues,"The only reason we're not expelling you this instant is because we need to protect the outside world from your wonky magic."
Discarding her insults, Skriff speaks up, "Hey, with all due respect, I think she gets it."
Ignoring his comments, the frowning headmaster knightslinger continues, "If any of the UDMs are caught practicing magic again, you will be terminated.""I'll lose my job?", Skriff asks, evidently surprised by the headmasters words. "If you are lucky", she answers. And don't even think about attending founders day, the UDMs are banned," She deadpanned and the other three UDM kids storm out of the hall angrily.
"Come on", Skriff pulls a teary eyed Nory from away from the hall and she spares a look at her best friend who kept staring down at her hands in awe.

Together, Skriff, Elliot, Pepper, Andreas and Nory stepped down the stairs that lead to the UDM classroom. With anger, disappointment and frustration written all over their faces, the kids settle on their seats.
