The Shapeshifter Academy.
This is the academy with the longest history in the realm of carnivorous shapeshifter, and it has proudly produced outstanding graduates and gained reputation.
One distinctive feature is that all students are carnivorous shapeshifters, or in other words, predators.
“Headmaster, here is the list of incoming students.”
Milane, the headmaster of The Shapeshifter Academy, accepted the document from the secretary and hummed a tune.
The weather was nice, the wind was cool. It was a perfect day to have a cup of tea.
“The scent of Earl Grey is delightful. But what is this document?”
“The list of incoming students.”
“You always become more concise when I lose focus.”
“That’s not true. But there is something more important than that. To the student who passed the entrance exam with the highest score-”
The secretary, who pushed up her oval glasses, hesitated and carefully chose her words.
“-there is a problem.”
“If they cheated during the exam, then we can just cancel their admission.”
“That’s not it.”
“A problem… Well, is there anything more than just being an herbivorous shapeshifter?”
Milane, the headmaster, chuckled and looked at the student register.
“After all, there won’t be any herbivorous shapeshifter coming to this place on their own.”
“…”
“Unless they want to die.”
The headmaster’s gaze stopped as she skimmed through the list of incoming students, which included tigers, bears, wolves, and so on.
[Highest score – Bendy Reppy]
The place where her gaze lingered was the portrait of a newcomer with a striking appearance.
“Bendy Reppy? Is this the highest-scoring student with a problem?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm, I don’t see any impression of cheating.”
Milane, the headmaster, frowned as she looked at the soft face that seemed to have been painted with watercolor.
“…Quite unique. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a delicate appearance among carnivorous shapeshifter.”
With lips slightly curled like small cherry blossoms and bright pupils, Bendy Reppy had a strangely harmonious appearance.
“What species are they? Let me see… Oh!”
Curiosity filled the eyes of Milane, the headmaster, who suddenly stood up. Her blue eyes expanded as if they were about to pop out.
“Oh!”
The word “oh” popped out without becoming a proper word.
“Oh!”
Milane, the headmaster, dropped Bendy Reppy’s student register, which she had missed, on the floor.
