First day of school

With his hood open showing his black eyes and dark hair, his almost pale skin, mandell smiled trying to act friendly to the humakey's in front of him

"Human!"

"Are you a human!?"

"Do humans eat?"

The children pointed at him shouting their questions and opinions, it's just like their in front of a zoo animal

"I eat" Mandell answered, and he immediately heard a snicker behind him

"Sorry" A humakey the same height as Senna was behind him and he didn't felt anything that indicate the humakey's presence

She raised her hand to cover her trembling lips

"Ahem, hello Mandell my name is Sonia, your teacher"

Mandell slowly raised his hand and pointed at Senna who is at Sonia's side,

"But i thought she's the tea-

"I am, but do you think there's only a single learning facility?" senna answered what's on mandell's mind with a question of her own

"Anyway, I'll leave you kids and your teacher alone, bye bye Cuties"

"Good bye, teacher Senna!!!" The kids voice synchronized with each other

After that is a moment of silent where everyone including Mandell had their eyes on the only tall one present

"Mandell find a free spot there, and let's start" She said energetically clasping her hand every moment to get the children's attention

Mandell put the hood on to cover his face and began to move at the side where a free spot between a two humakey children is available

He slowly sat down on the small hole cover with grass and dry straws it looks uncomfortable and Mandell thought he would feel itch everywhere if he sat down,

His worries proved him wrong when he felt a cushion comparable to the stone bed he was using, it looks uncomfortable but feels soft

"Hello" A humakey by his right side wave her hand and greeted him full of energy

"Hi" Mandell replied

"Let's be friends" She said giving her furry hand to Mandell

Mandell a little uncomfortable by the situation that suddenly presented itself, touch the humakey's hand and said

"Sure"

'Never thought making a friend is this easy' He thought

The humakey by his left side leaned closer and said

"Do you poop?"

Mandell think for a moment before giving an answer

"I never" He answered

"That's cool" The humakey whispered to him slowly turning his head back

"Now, who am I?" The humakey standing tall in front of the whole class asked

Everyone spoke her name,

"Sonia!!, teacher Sonia" The children chanted

Hearing them, mandell copied and began to chant the name of the one that is going to teach him starting now

"Sonia" He spoke and his voice was covered by the sound of kids saying the same words

After that they're class start, on the stone board upfront, the teacher wrote using something similar to a chalk attach to one of his long nails

"Let's continue on our previous lesson, what's our lesson?" The humakey asked and the children's answered, all expect for the new kid

"Its about jobs!"

"Good job" The humakey clasp her hand together and said

"Do any of you remember the three types of jobs you can take?" The humakey asked

Silence filled the room, the children who was energetically chanting all stop, and looked down or up away from the teachers gaze

"None of you remember?"

After a moment a hand was stretched out toward the air

"Yes, name one of the jobs" the teacher said pointing at the children who raised its hand

"Hunter, healer and vendor"

"So you name all three!, good job" The teacher then wrote what the children said on the stone board

"Hunter type of job is work where you need to go outside of the village, can you name one of the jobs"

Six humakey's who's sit was near each other raised their hand the moment the teacher asked the question

"....how about you in front"

The children then told the whole class his answer

"Mining , teacher"

"Yes, what about the other five who raised their hand"

"Herb picking"

"Hunting"

"Guarding the gate "

The class continue, the teacher told them about the three jobs while asking small question at the class,

Mandell understood the lesson, he didn't immediately caught up, but the question the teacher was asking made Mandell slowly understand everything

"What's our lesson about?" The teacher asked

"Its about the three type of jobs"

"Good job!, can you name one of the three"

Mandell raised his hand and when the teacher pointed at him he answered

"Healer teacher"

The other children answered too when the teacher call for them or when they raised their hand, and moments after, the teacher clasped her hand and said

"Would you look at the time, you all can go out now"

The whole room become a battleground, every children stood and rushed to the door

They all look like critters playing on a grass, hopping when they reach the door, trying to ran ahead of the others, everyone looks energetic

"Mandell the next class is held outside" The teacher said when she saw Mandell looking quite confused not moving out of the spot he was in

The humakey by his side, grasped his hand and said

"Let's go Mandell"

The girl stood up and she pull Mandell away from the cushion like pit,

"Your name?" Mandell asked a he got pulled all the way to the door

As they reach the great outdoors, the sun shine brightly and he saw the kids holding sticks and running trying to catch each other

"My name is Taly" The children holding mandell's hand said, she slowly let go and joined the others while looking back to Mandell signaling him to join

Mandell took a deep breath and began to March toward the others,

"Human"

"Hello Human"

One of the humakey child near Mandell handed him a stick and said with a asmile showing his uneven teeth

"Let's fight"

Mandell look around and seeing no one who seems nervous and thinking this is something like bullying, he grab the stick

It's light and had a rough edge so it won't fall off his hand even if he don't grip it that hard
