"We're about to begin the health check."

At the teacher's words, my body froze. My mind went blank. I was about to be mixed in with the girls while they were in their underwear.

Needless to say, I'm a boy. Even in the girls' dorm, I always waited until everyone had finished before I went in, and when changing, I made sure not to look at Lala. I can only imagine how much it would hurt a girl's dignity if a boy saw her in her underwear. The thought made me cringe.

Still, I couldn't muster the courage to admit I was a boy. If I came out, I'd probably be treated like a ticking time bomb for the rest of my school life. In this conservative region, who knows what kind of trouble a boy in a girl's body would face. Fear won out, and I decided to keep quiet. I despised myself for my cowardice.

Despite my worries, the checkup progressed with everyone fully dressed. Even when they measured chest size, it was over the clothes. When it came time for the 'Princess Test,' where they attach strange suction cups to your chest, I was required to strip down to just my bra, but it was done privately in a room with a female doctor. So, I didn’t have to see the other girls half-naked.

In the classroom, Sharp clicked his tongue in frustration, looking disappointed. He probably wanted to see the girls undressed. Well, that’s what you’d expect from a typical boy in a girl's body. Maybe I’m the strange one.

When the exam ended, we returned to the classroom, and the teacher stood in front of us with a serious look.

"There is someone in this class who has the heart of a man but the body of a woman."

My heart nearly stopped. W-What? Isn’t that me?

"The 'Princess Test' results are in. Scores close to 0 indicate a male heart, while scores near 100 indicate a female heart. Typically, male students score between 10 and 35, and females between 65 and 90. Anyone outside these ranges is considered an anomaly and will need a retest."

"Teacher! Are you really going to announce this in front of everyone?" The class buzzed with whispers.

"Yes, first, the boys. Alex, 20."

The scores were announced one by one: 30, 28, 12, 19. Each boy, though embarrassed, accepted the results of their inner gender being revealed to everyone.

"Largo, 55! That’s an anomaly. Your heart leans a bit more toward the feminine side, doesn’t it? You’ll need a retest."

"Yes, sir."

It seems Forte’s heart is more neutral than I expected. I always thought she was strong even before we switched bodies, but to think her heart leans toward being a woman… What about my score? It’s bound to reveal I have the heart of a man.

"Now for the girls! Alice, 68!"

73, 90, 81, 66—one by one, the girls' scores were revealed.

"Sharp, 30!"

The class erupted into whispers, and all eyes were on Sharp.

"Tch! You caught me. Before anyone asks, I’ll confess. I’m a guy who’s been turned into a girl. Got a problem with that?" He was completely unapologetic.

What should I do? At this rate, my secret—that I’m a boy in a girl’s body—will definitely be exposed! There’s no escape!

"Come to the staff room later. We need to talk."

With that, the teacher moved on, announcing more girls' scores: 88, 71, 73.

And then, it was my turn. Oh no! They’ll find out I’m a boy living in the girls' dorm!

"Forte, 78!"

78! They’ll find out I’m a guy… Wait, what? Isn’t that a really high score? That’s well within the normal range for girls.

Without skipping a beat, the teacher continued announcing the next scores: 69, 75, 81.

D-Does that mean… my heart is that of a girl? Sure, I liked playing house, knitting, and riding a unicycle as a kid, but still… No way! This can't be real!
