Out of the corner of his eye, Cole could see the bright green-haired girl who had been talking give him a wave and a friendly smile. His initial impression of her was that she was loud and a tad hyperactive, but at least she was pleasant. A light smile crossed his face as he looked towards her and nodded, intending to be polite. Her attention, as well as that of another boy in the group then turned to a little situation some distance away from them. He thought it unnecessary for the boy to interfere when he was not part of it. After all, that was what teachers were for, were they not?

The female teacher who had started to address the students was soon joined by a male one, whom she had introduced as 'Professor Jacob'. She then briefed the group on the lesson that was about to take place, giving some specific instructions to a couple of students, namely the two involved in the earlier incident. The tall figure in the cloak complied without objection, and revealed himself to be a dragon-like beast. Well, that had shown Cole that he was not the only monster around. The girl, however, could only imply that she had trouble controlling her ability. She did so while maintaining her aggressive demeanor, and Cole could not help but be curious about how the teacher would respond to that.

Switching his focus back to the class, he figured that he had quite a clear idea of what was going to happen. It was a safe environment to use his ability, and all he had to do was ensure he did not stay a monster for longer than ten minutes. He would have been self-conscious about the nature of his ability, if not for the fact that he knew that he was around a group of people who were 'gifted' themselves.

"Understood, Ma'am," was all he felt the need to say in reply to the teacher.
