Chapter 17:Beginning of school

Simon had come to the directed building with relative ease, the directions were very easy to remember and the disembodied voice had said that she was just a call away if he ever needed anything. If there was any hiccup it was the stares he received, everyone was looking at him, man and monster girl, with a curious stares. For whatever reason, those stares rubbed him the wrong way. Amy felt it as well, and her response was to growl at the offenders as she trotted alongside him. But outside of that, she did relatively little as she too was probably feeling slightly overwhelmed by the army of monster girls traipsing about.

Thankfully, it was uneventful and he reached the building with nothing wacky happening. Given what had happened just this morning, he should be thankful for the little things. Who cares if everyone was looking at him funny, at least he did not turn into a wolf and create a scene so he would take it as a win.

The multitudes of stone archways leading into the building matched the description he was given. Now he just had to figure out what he had to now.

'A new student, I presume.'

As if by prophecy another voice projected directly into his head. It had a similar feminine but robotic timber but had some distinctions from the first. Given this was his second time a disembodied voice speaking to him his response was much more measured.

"Yes."

'Are you on a list?'

An immediate question followed.

"No...?" Simon answered but it came out a bit as a question as he was having a bit of difficulty following what was happening.

'Very well. I give you the designation 7234. Please remember that number till you have been given your student card.'

"Ok..."

'Do you need orientation?'

"Yes." This time Simon could answer with more confidence.

'Understood. The next loop has just begun so I shall direct you to other basic needs that you must meet before attending our classes. Is that acceptable?'

"Sure." Simon was tired of having to give one-word answers but processing all she was saying took time. Time she was not giving him, so he was improvising.

'May I perform a scan to gain the basic data I need? The results of the scan will be immediately deleted upon processing your student identification card. However, the data printed on your student ID shall be recorded.'

"Alright." He had no idea what that entailed, but Simon assumed that this was normal and gave the go-ahead. After all, his father was the one who had directed cow aunt to send him here, there was no way this was a foreboding event. He was not in a novel after all.

Almost immediately the voice replied.

'Scan completed. You have been found to be in a bond with a high-tier monster. Please wait. An escort shall come to assist you shortly.'

That answer gave Simon pause but he was in too deep now and just stood there. His hands automatically travel to Amy to start giving her pets. Amy being the pet she was leaned into him basking in the attention she was receiving, her tails wagging happily.

In under five minutes, he was met with a cat girl. The most popular low-level species across all of Phunine. And he could see why.

She was wearing a white office blouse and black skirt, and Simon understood why the look was so popular in novels. It gave her an authoritative feel that was in sharp contrast to her lithe cute feline features that radiated playfulness. From the sparkle in her green cat eyes to the small playful bounce in her sleek black tail that matched her bubbly stride. Simon had an inexplicable urge to go and pet the cat girl but he resisted, doubling his efforts on Amy to compensate.

"Hello! My name is Bella. Milly told me there was an irregular in front of the orientation so here I am!" To add to her statement she made pumped her fist into her chest which brought to her modest chest. They were probably a handful but not much more.

"I think that is me," Simon said very fascinated with the office cat lady in front of him.

"Of course it is you! I mean do you see anyone else standing in front of the orientation hall not wearing their student uniform." She said with a lot of enthusiasm as she made an exaggerated motion of looking side to side. The black cat ears on the top of her head wiggled in the opposite direction to where her head pointed.

The urge came back twofold and as such Amy fell back on her stomach now panting from the pleasurable abuse she received from Simon. Simon kneeled and started rubbing her belly in reflex but his attention was still on the conversation.

"I suppose not," Simon replied.

"Right! Now come along. You, sir, need special attention!" She said as she waved at him to come with her. Her energy was very infectious and he got up to follow an amused smile on his face. Amy, however, was very annoyed pets fun had ended and she whined in protest.

This made Bella slightly jump back as she said.

"That's ok! We can wait! There is no need to rush!"

Simon could not help himself, he snorted trying to contain his laughter. He replied

"She is just being pissy. Normally heavy pets are followed with feeding time and then a nap. My spoiled companion is just being vocal with her disappointment."

"Easy for you to say... One chomp from that monster and there is no more Bella..."

She mumbled something Simon could not quite hear.

"Excuse me?" Simon asked tilting his head.

"Nothing! Nothing. If sir is sure please come along!" She said as she bounced away a little too quickly.

"Wait!" Simon said as he rushed along followed by a dispirited Amy.

Thus began the first day of school for our hero.
