Secrets Revealed
Eventually, the unnamed, mysterious professor stroled up to the small podium. Everyone almost instantly went silent, like their mouths weren't capable of sound. He eventually explained, "As you know, you all hace probalby come to see you test scores and decide if you want to attend Robinwood Prep. All of you can attend if you want; it's entirely your decision. 
"And now, for the scores. I will give you an animal, and that is your score. I will explain it all afterwards. Now, Asha, you have been given an eagle for your attention to things and great reflexes...
"...Mia, you have been paired with a bull for your protective instincts and your both physical and mental strength. And finally, Amelia, see me after class." 
Wait...
What? See him after class? Did I fail the test? Is that even possible? He did just say that we all could come to this school, so why can't I? Oh no...no, no, no. But this school is amazing! 
"Is that why you wear a duck beak?" A student, that passed, asked.
He sighed, "Yes, that's also why all the other students have animal features. Anyways, this part is a bit complicated, so feel free to ask any questions. So the animals that you have been paires with," he sighed again, while everyone else sat on their seat's edge, and I stared at the floor with puzzlement and despair. Of course I thought I could somehow get into this school, "are the animals that we'll fuse some of your DNA with some of theirs."
The clase broke into a outrage so suddenly, I almost flew out of my chair. I covered my ears and curled further into a small ball. With all this news and yelling, braking down and running until I couldn't anymore sounded really good right now, but I wasn't Mia.
The professor finally was able to settle the class verbally, if not emotionally. "You will go throught this to enhace your abilities, along with some physical features."
"Wait, those tails and ears on the other students are real?" someone outburst. 
"Yes those are real. Depending on what animal you have, you will have certain features. For example, my ears and whiskers I have are because of my fusion with a domestic cat. Also I have better physical abilities and I have better hearing and a sense of smell than a normal human.
"You will be given until tomorrow to determine weather you want to attend. If you come, you will be given a dormitory, three meals a day, and a high-standered education, all for free. Also, if this too much for you, feel free to walk out of this classroom, and the property to attend a different school. I will now answer any questions."
One boy raised a hand, "Will the transformation hurt?"
He answered, his voice calm and clear, unlike the boy's, "Ah, a common, but no,you will be given a drink to help you sleep, and by the time you wake up, it'll be already over."
Mia abrupt voice startled me, "What sort of features would we get?"
"Well, as you saw from the sophmores, tails and ears are most common, but you may get a beak, wings, or your hair might change colors, though that one is quite rare and is never extreme. Usually just a shade. We have never had any others."
One girl with glasses and a sqeaky voice asked, "How else may the process help us?"
"Well of course, it can enhance your sight, smell, touch, and hearing. But if you have any health issues, please notify our staff privately, for many fusions and improved or solved those. Though, in some cases, it might change your animal."
One boy with a frown asked, "Are there any negative effects?"
The professor answered with a slight frown on his face, similar tho the boy's, "Yes, nothing is perfect after all. Let's take Mia for example," he said, gestureing to her. All eyes were on her, but she didn't seem to notice, "She might be more prone to aggressive actions, if provoked, but only under dire circumstances, and that behavior is not garenteed."
After a pause while he waited for more questions, he said, "Well, if you have anymore private questions or you think of more later, feel free to ask them when you see me. You are dismissed."
