"Hello there"
"Please don't kill me!"
What?
How did he get the thought that I would want to kill him?
"Are you stupid? Why would I be after your life?"
He looks quite surprised at my words. Which kinda hurts. How the hell did my appearance alone scare him so much that he thought I would want or even try to kill him?
I mean don't I have the perfect loli look and feel at the moment? What is so scary about it?
He doesn't look like he believes me. He is staring at my hands and feet and sometimes behind me.
Oh, yeah I forgot about my claws and my tail. While I did think that most humans would react negatively to them I didn't think it would be this bad.
"You don't look like you believe me."
He nods.
Wow, he is the honest type. Or he is just so scared that he forgot about the possibility to lie. I don't like it.
"Then tell me why do you think that I would want to kill you"
He looks stupefied for a moment.
Did you really react like that without even thinking about it? Just pure instinct? Do I really look this frightening?
"You... you looked like some kind... of high ranked monster that... that is able to... take on human form."
Really (sarcastic tone)?
That's it? The fact that I have some parts that look like those of monsters of some game was enough to scare you this much?
Well, you could also compliment him on how fast he has accepted that monsters will appear in the future. Even so, his actions were way too exaggerated. Confirm the situation you are in first, then act. If he played so many games that he immediately came to the conclusion of me being a high-level monster then he should know just how many hotblooded characters ruined first impressions and created needless misunderstandings by not confirming it first.
So how did he still manage to do just that?
"So who are you. And what did you choose to enhance in the room?"
"My name is Lukas Wielner. However, I don't want to tell you what I choose"
Hoh, so he isn't all that stupid. Telling someone what you choose to enhance is like telling them your weakness. Most normal students would not think about such stuff and instead even brag about what they choose and what they can do now. Even if some of it is pure exaggeration it still can give you a rough idea of his/her abilities.
However, considering that I blew him away so easily probably means that it isn't strength. And most likely it also isn't vitality as it took him too long to recover from that strike. So it is either agility, dexterity, his mana or he choose some kind of talent or ability. Not so bad actually.
"What grade are you in" (me)
"I'm in the 8th grade. After I woke up in my classroom down the hallway I heard some loud crashes. So I went to find out what it was. When the crashes stopped there were just some scrapping noises. I didn't dare to go in till just now."
Oops. I should have paid some attention to how loud the stuff I do is.
So the others now slowly start to wake up. Then I should stop my testing and get back to my classroom. I kinda am curious as to what they chose to do in the room and how they will react now. I also wonder how they will react to me. Hopefully, it won't be too bad.

So I start walking back, completely ignoring Lukas who is quite surprised at the fact that I completely ignore him.
When we come across his classroom I told him that it would be better to enter it for now and wait till his teacher wakes up.
He shakes his head rapidly as an answer and can't seem to wait until I leave. Sigh this kinda hurts.
While walking through nearly all of the 2nd floor in order to get to my classroom, I notice that some students no longer look like normal humans. Some have partially adopted features from fantasy races. Some others have strange markings on their bodies and some of the boys look like he-man and some girls have some nearly impossible proportions. Nearly all of them now also look either quite handsome and beautiful. Obviously, always a different kind of handsome or beautiful. Most of the few students I encountered looked at me strangely, mostly with shock and some with a bit of disgust. Only very few don't seem to mind my strange features.
However, the ones who bother me the most are the students who look at me and my attire, which consists of only my plain black t-shirt that barely holds itself on my shoulders and goes to my knees, with lust. It creeps me out and feels incredibly disgusting.
I glare at them coldly when I notice them. And while it is effective and most of them look away or lower their head, they resume staring at me shortly after I stop glaring at them.
I really want to get to my classroom quickly. Luckily it seemed that my threatening claws and my tail deter everyone and I can pass unhindered. I really wouldn't have lasted talking to the ones who look at me with lust.
It is quite likely that my tail would have "accidentally" hit them. I knew that it twitched in their direction from time to time. So they saved themselves some broken bones. I still am not confident to stop such strong impulses. It seemed to react to my emotions after all.
I managed to reach my classroom with no direct contact with others and finally entered it. Now those disgusting creeps could no longer stare at me like that. That was more of a relief than I thought it would be.
Trying to temporarily forget about these creeps, I concentrated on the scene in my classroom instead.
Out of the 28 students in my class, 6 were currently awake. 2 girls and 4 boys. Maurice was not among them, sadly. Right now all of them stopped whatever they were doing, which was mostly inspecting the situation they were in or inspecting their bodies without taking their clothes off, of course.
They just stared blankly at me for a while, while I didn't know what I should say to them so I just kept quiet.
The 2 girls are 2 of the "bitch faction", meaning they are hypocrites and mostly only care for their own well-being while constantly trying to prove that they are independent. Most of the time they are just rude however and are blind enough to believe that, the fact that most don't approach them, it's a sign that the boys no longer think that they are helpless and try to be helpful while also subtly flirting.
It honestly is very stupid but and I quote Sora from "no game no life" here:
"It is easier to deal with an idiot that knows he is an idiot than trying to deal with an idiot who thinks he isn't one."
So if you try to tell them the truth they won't listen and instead insult you.
Such ignorance.
Getting back on track. Apparently, the 2 girls, namely Lilie and Susan, thought that I was somewhat dangerous with my claws and all. They slowly positioned themselves so that 2 of the boys stand between them and me.
The 2 boys were Maik and Sanan. I got somewhat along with Maik, but I didn't have much to do with Sanan. In case you are wondering, Sanan's father is from somewhere in Africa. That's the reason he has that slightly strange name and also looks has a dark caramel skin tone. He was the really sporty type, even before the changes with the room. And judging by the state of his body he further enhanced his already existing qualities. Such as stamina, agility, and strength. He wasn't the brightest though. He had black hair that he kept short and always had curls.
Maik, on the other hand, was slightly crazy and already went to a facility for people with mental illnesses once. He is mostly stable though. His appearance didn't change much, it was barely noticeable in fact and I also had no idea as to what he could have enhanced.
Both of them were still stunned by my appearance when I decided to no longer entertain this staring contest.
"Finally awake now are you? And, what did the system tell you about the current situation."
They didn't react.
It seemed that they didn't know what to do with me and with what I just said so they tried to wrap their heads around it before answering.
As I was finally getting restless under their stares one of the other 2 boys who stood on the other side of the room decided to speak.
"Might I know who you are first? Also, why do you speak like you have known us for an extended period of time? And as to the current situation, it is mostly as you see and we already agreed to not just start the discussion already when so many of us are still not here."
Ah, he was Matthias. The quiet type who mostly stayed on the side and didn't say anything. He is a logical type like me. And while I also stayed mostly at the side didn't say much it wasn't for the same reason as him. I was just shy and didn't like attention while he found it bothersome.
"Well I speak like this to you because we have known each other for quite some time, you know? And the answer to my identity is quite simple."
I decided to just tell them.
"I am Mark Dämmerung."
Silence.
