Slowly, the trio made their way to the next class, the now four legged Game panting heavily from his hurried waddle. When they got there, the teacher was busy talking while drawing some sort of strange symbols on the board, allowing the three to sneak into the class and go to the seats at the back.

The panting wolf quickly took this chance to plop himself on the floor, under the desk and to try to relax.

Grey sat down in a seat, pulling out a few of her books from her bag, and getting ready to take notes.

Shadow took the seat next to her, ready to copy her notes.

The grey stallion teaching the class turned around after finishing the runes on the board. “Alright class, today we’re learning about transformation magic. Now, I assigned you some research, so we’re going to be going over what you should have read up on. I will be asking questions to make sure you actually did the work. So, first things first, how many different ways are there to transform something or someone?

A hoof raised in the back of the class, it was Grey’s. “Three, sir. Enchantment, which is magic placed on an item for the constant use of a spell. Constant, which is the constant use of magic for the maintaining of a spell, typically used by high level unicorns. And One-time, which is one powerful spell that lasts as long as the user wishes.”

The teacher nodded. “Well done Miss Grey, clearly you did the necessary research. I would also like to say, that for every correct answer to a question, the person in question will gain one point of extra credit for the quiz this week.” The teacher finished, as a chorus of disappointed “Aww's” rained down from the class.

Shadow raised a hoof “Sir I have a question.”

The teacher looked over to Shadow. “Yes? What is it?”

“What about magic that can split a persons personality” Shadow asked.

The teacher thought, deeply for a moment before answering. “That is very advanced magic, capable of use only by high-level magic users.” His voice then turned serious “Its use also expressly forbidden by law, so don’t get any ideas.”

“I don’t think I’ll be doing any magic soon, Sir.” Shadow joked.

The teacher shook his head. “This is not a laughing matter, it is very dangerous, high-level magic that shouldn’t even be attempted by a master. The results can be very volatile, and I would have to be out of my right mind to suggest it. Don’t try it.” He finished with a warning gaze to the entire class

“That means whoever they were, they were probably crazy”. Shadow whispered to himself.

The teacher sighed, and continued on the lecture, getting back on topic. “Now that that is taken care of, lets focus. Okay class, who can tell me who the discoverer of transformation magic was?”

Several hooves shot into the air, each hoping they would be picked. The teacher picked a light blue hoof from the middle of the class. “Yes? who was it?”

The light blue hoof belonged to a unicorn by the name of Breeze. “The name of the discoverer of transformation magic was Kamen Henshin.”

The teacher nodded. “Correct, how did he discover it?”

Breeze answered quickly “He was experimenting with ways of forming armour without it being forged. It led to him transforming his robes into metal.”

The stallion nodded “Correct.”

The lesson continued similarly, many in the class scribbling down notes and generally paying attention, a strange sight to see in high school.

“Aww, look.” Grey said quietly, nudging Shadow with a elbow. Seeing a sleeping Game under the table.

“Yes”. Shadow said looking over to Grey and following her line of sight to the sleeping wolf. “Still cute. More pictures?” He questioned Grey.

“Sure.” Grey said, smiling slightly at the fun they could have later. “I think we can fix this at the end of lesson.”

“How?” Shadow questioned.

“Well, this entire lesson has been about transformation. And what happened to Game.” Grey answered.

“Oh, that makes sense.” Shadow said, clicking on. “Better wait to the end though. Don`t want to embarrass him any more than we need to.”

“Keeping the pictures though?” Grey questioned.

“Of course.” Shadow said, laughing a little.

Grey rolled her eyes “I’ll never understand colts.” She finished, hearing the bell and the quick sound of hooves against the floor as the class rushed out, as the teacher let them go.

“You two.” The grey teacher said. “Why are you still here? The bell went.”

“Well.” Grey said, unsure of how to ask. “We need your help with something.”

“Care to tell me what it is?” The teacher said, putting the books he was carrying down and walking over.

“Look down here.” Shadow said, kneeling down along with Grey looking at the still sleeping wolf.

“You are not supposed to bring your pets to school, you know this.” The teacher said, telling them off.

“That's the thing, it isn't a pet.” Grey said, standing up. “It`s Game.”

“Game?” The teacher questioned. “That wolf you are so fond of?”

“Yes.” Grey said, blushing lightly.

“How?”

“We are not sure.” Shadow answered. “But since what today’s lesson was about, we thought you could help.”

“Of course.” The teacher said, turning back to his desk. “Better bring him up here then.”

Shadow, quickly thought of an idea to wake up the sleeping wolf, one that involved a bottle of water.

“Shadow, don`t.” Grey said, looking at the bottle.

“What it’s quick and easy.” He said unscrewing the cap.
“Fine.” Grey sighed, watching Shadow tip the contents of the bottle onto Game’s head, causing him to jolt up and hit his head on one of the bars on the desk, letting out a yelp and a growl at the same time.

“Sorry, Game.” Shadow apologised. “But we are getting you fixed.” Game growled lightly at this and brought his tail forward a bit.

“Not like that. Anyway hurry up to the front.” Shadow said, smirking at what the wolf insinuated. The wolf waddled to the teacher and was lifted quickly up onto the table.

“Now, I'm hopeful for the easiest version of this spell.” The teacher said, feeling around Game’s neck. “Ah. Here we are!” The teacher exclaimed, pulling a black piece of material from within Game’s fur.

“A collar?” Grey and Shadow questioned.

“Now, if we just take this off.” The teacher said, undoing the collar and pulling it off the wolf as Game was enveloped in a bright light, causing the teacher and his friends to turn away to only look back and see the normal, fully clothed and two legged Game sitting off the edge of the desk.

“Finally!” Game said, hopping off the table stumbling slightly as he landed, from the shift from four legs back to two, getting caught by his friends. As the teacher looked at the collar.

“Game!” Grey exclaimed, hugging the wolf. “You know, you were much cuter on four legs.”

“I`m sure I was, but not being able to talk is not fun.” Game sighed.

“Hmm, seems this was made specifically for you Game.” The teacher jumped in, showing them the name tag on the collar, which read ‘Gamepup’. “Any idea who did this to you?”

“I know exactly who did it.” Game said, letting go of Grey. “Ice.”

“I had a feeling that would be who it was.” The teacher said, taking a seat at his desk again. “I`ll deal with this, you three need to get to your Form.”

“Actually, can I keep the collar?” Game said kind of shyly, as his two friends started to head out the door.

“What? Oh sure.” The teacher said, hoofing over the collar to Game. “At least you know how to change back now. I`ll deal with Ice and no doubt his two friends as well.”

“Thanks.” Game said, quickly heading out the door and catching up to his friends.

“Actually you two go on ahead, I need to ask the teacher something.” Shadow said, letting his two friends exit out the door, turning to the teacher shadow said “Hypothetically, if someone were to perform a split personality spell how would one reverse the spell.”

“Well, there are many ways. There is the counter-spell and the reversal and it is also possible to just cast the spell again. However, finding such spells is very hard, and illegal I would not suggest trying it.” The teacher said, thinking of Shadow’s reasons for the question.

“Hmm, well thanks anyway teacher.” Shadow said, turning to leave the classroom.

“Hmm, weird kid.” The teacher thought to himself, returning to what he was doing. “Time to deal with this.”
