The Over-Break System

Around 45 minutes after Breakfast had been devoured and cleaned up, the Couples of MyrkLys walked side by side, presenting one form of PDA or another as they made their way into the building housing the classrooms for Year Five Students.

Some minutes later, after navigating the crowded hallways, the six of them stood outside a door labeled ”Introduction to Bloodlines” and waited patiently among their peers, or at least this was the case for Brance, Gabby, Benny, and Melody, who took their time greeting those students they recognized.

Meanwhile, Selene and Cynrik stood off in the corner of the hallway in loanerish fashion, like their antisocial personalities dictated, with their matching hoods covering their heads.

’Sigh, it’s always so fucking noisy around here. If it weren’t necessary for us to show up, and the topic wasn’t interesting, we could have stayed in bed messing around all day instead.’ Cynrik grumbled, earning him a muffled giggle from Selene.

’Come now, Darling, we all have to do things we don’t necessarily enjoy; take me, for example, although I am not fond of butt stuff, I still let you do as you please, do I not?’

’GASP, Lies and slander, woman, your mind may say you don’t enjoy the butt stuff, but your body sure says otherwise!!’ Widening his eyes ever so slightly in a sign of shock, Cynrik quickly disputed his Kona’s claims.

’Mmm, let me rephrase, I am not fond of the ”Toys” you like using; I much prefer your natural self over some cheap imitation.’ Rolling her eyes and admitting her feelings, Selene was completely unbothered by the raunchy talk.

’Hem duly noted, my beloved Kona, I shall keep your likes and dislikes cataloged in my mind for as long as I live.’ That was what he said, whereas, in the far separated reaches of his twisted mind, Cynrik was already devising several kink plays to change her mind.

Fortunately, since they were talking using their MBS Imprint, their raunchy talk was kept from the others. Still, even that was short-lived, as Cynrik and Selene seemed to gravitate toward each other intimately, drawing the attention of the other members of MyrkLys.

Upon seeing their lovey-dovey body language, Brance scoffed and hoped their new teacher would show up and open the Classroom before the two crazies started going at it in public…again.

Luckily, like a blessing from an unknown deity, as Cynrik began feeling up Selene in the shadowy corner, the door to the Classroom burst open with a flourish and a chime sound akin to a chorus of bells, indicating class would be starting in less than five minutes.

Between his innate fear of accidentally seeing something he dreaded and his perfect attendance record on the line, Brance quickly rushed everyone into the Classroom, but not without shooting a scolding glare toward the corner hiding his Brother and Sister-In-Law.

Soon enough, only the Crazy Couple were left alone in the hall, and upon noticing this, they quickly vanished from their position and reappeared in the back right corner of the sizeable auditorium-style Classroom.

Housing enough space, in the form of theater chairs, for well over 300 students, the layout of the room was similar to many of the other ones they had been in during their time at VSFA, with the seating rising several levels and at the ground floor level, a semi-circular cut out with a single podium for the Professor.

{{Will you two keep your hands to yourselves? WE ARE IN PUBLIC!}} Noticing that neither Cynrik nor Selene was bothered by anyone witnessing their physical affection for each other, Brance snapped at them.

Meanwhile, sitting on his left, Gabby reached over and patted her Fiance’s leg for comfort. How could she not know why Brance was upset? Heck, it had taken her years to get Brance to hold her hand and show any form of PDA with her when they weren’t behind closed doors.

She didn’t even need to see her best friend and future Brother-In-Law to know what they were up to; Brance was just that obvious in her eyes. She could even tell by the subtle way her Fiance was twitching that he was currently yelling at them with his special telepathic connection.

So, being the good Fiance that she was, Gabby did what she always did and reinforced that she was always there for Brance when it came to emotional support, which was never lost on him.

Although… more than once, she had imagined having her relationship on display in the same way Cynrik and Selene usually did. Still, at the end of the day, Gabby was perfectly content with what she had with Brance and understood that he had a different mindset and principles when compared to his older brother.

Across the room, Cynrik and Selene flinched heavily as their metaphorical eardrums rang from Brance’s yelling, so much so that they found themselves unable to continue their flirting, lest they wanted to be subjected to the irate Brance’s temper tantrum more than once today.

Giving up and sighing loudly enough to draw curious looks from the peanut gallery, Cynrik, and Selene mirrored each other as they crossed their arms over their chests and leaned back in their chairs lazily.

It was so in sync that some nearby students felt slightly creeped out and figured it was better not to associate with the two. When it came to MyrkLys, for the most part, they had a spotless and impeccable record, that is, so long as Cynrik and Selene weren’t considered.

The two loaners refused to interact with any students outside of their group. When they weren’t flirting with each other, it wouldn’t be seen as uncommon if they were spotted beating up or bullying random passerby students who had unluckily pissed them off in one way or another.

To put it in simpler terms, Cynrik and Selene had a reputation at VSFA for being rowdy and, for lack of a better word, hooligans.

They were practically untamed beasts in the eyes of the ordinary student body, and it was well known that if you saw them coming, either ignore them or get the hell out of their way because nothing good came from associating with the ”Psycho-Couple” as they were dubbed by the general VSFA populous.

DONG DING DING DONNNNG, DONG DING, DING DONGGGG!

Soon enough, the typical school bell chimed, indicating the class period had begun, and as with seemingly every Professor at VSFA, their Intro to Bloodlines Professor felt the urge to show off a bit for her new class.

HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~

Unlike any other Professor they had had before, this class was bound to be led by someone a little off their rocker because the moment the final bell chimed, a loud snake hiss reverberated through the room, generating an unsettling rumble in the student’s chests.

{{Oh fuck…is our teacher a giant Snake? INNNTERESTING!}} Unable to contain his excitement at the prospect of learning from a different species, the ever-scientific Cynrik couldn’t contain himself from swearing, all the while utterly unintimidated by the massive scaley creature dropping down from the ceiling toward the podium and its Peak Tier-4 Mana signature.

If he had to guess, the creature was as thick as a sewer tunnel and at least 30 meters long, covered in vibrant purple and gold scales, while sporting a mouth full of dagger-shaped and sized teeth.

{{Hmm, a constrictor species; I half expected it to have enormous fangs, but nope, one, two…three rows of impressive teeth.}} Continuing to observe the creature, Cynrik spoke his thoughts to the group chat, causing Brance and Selene to give him strange looks.

{{You know what, Ima leave that one…Cyn used to watch way too much Animal Planet back on Earth, so I’m not even surprised he could tell it was a nonvenomous snake species.}} Shaking his head, Brance gave the Snake Professor his undivided attention.

But what happened next drew loud gasps from the majority of the class, apart from MyrkLys, who had seen enough weird shit in their lives to be unaffected.

Before the eyes of the packed Classroom, the giant snake began molting its scales, which fell off in clumps before shattering into particles of Purple and Gold light.

Within seconds, the snake completely broke down into particles, revealing a beautiful young woman in her late 20s or early 30s with long purple hair and golden eyes.

Strangely enough, those two golden eyes were extremely reptilian in nature, and anyone, even an unlearned child, could discern there was something different about this pretty woman.

Her pasty pale white skin was unblemished, and her pearly white smile perfectly matched her tiny nose and sharp, angular face. Overall, if Cynrik gave her a grade on his universal beauty scale, she would be less attractive than Selene and even Maeve but still above the likes of Melody and Gabby.

So she got a solid 6.5 in his book, but that wasn’t the case for the young men in the class, who saw her as a Goddess of Beauty.

”Hello Students, I am your Professor for Year Five Introduction to Bloodlines; my name is… Annika Wallin.”
