Black Tail Life
How Big Is This Place?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLuna H. Moon my head is throbbing like a pump! I kept my eyes shut and rubbed the back of my head, feeling some dried blood on the back of it. I was laying on a bed and when I opened my eyes, a curtain was pulled around it. I heard someone tapping their foot or hoof, I couldn't tell. To add to the pain of a head injury, this lady is yelling, "Hurry the fuck up! I need to get my pegasus on cat action!"
Now, I have no fuck clue where I am and this lady is yelling to her computer about porn. I think it is time for me to leave. I hop off the bed and threw back the curtain yelling, "Oi, what the hell is going on here?" I saw here jump in front of the screen and glare at me like she was pissed off.
I think she was pissed off because she took the cigarettes she had in her mouth and flicked it at me. She then barked at me, "Do you know how to slowly wake up? I have important files I need downloaded and they are confidential!"
Okay she was not pissed, she just didn't want me to see her porn! I know the feeling all to well. "Look Miss, I didn't mean to freak you out. I just want so pain killers and get the hell out of the way." I walked over to a medical cabinet and opened it up. I saw a bottle of Tylenol and snatched it up. I turned to the Nurse and displayed the bottle with a smug grin. "Do you mine Miss Nurse lady?"
The Nurse sighed in defeat and allowed me to take the painkillers. "Go ahead, take two and you can report to homeroom. And it's Nurse Bline Kine."
I opened the bottle and popped two pills into my mouth. "Thanks Nurse Bline, but I don't know where my homeroom is. Can you check it out on that computer?"
"I guess." She turned around and sneak clicked all the windows on the screen, man she had some rough photos on there. Vibrator in one hole and a dick in the other, bravo mares, bra-fucking-vo. She opened a new window and a list of names came up, most-likely the names of the students, "Okay, what is your name?"
"I'm Jero Kyubo, I'm a Junior."
She typed up my name and came up with my info. "Here we are. Jero Kybubo, your homeroom is on the second floor of building number two. It is going to be room B-3. So you need to go out to the entrance of this building and it will be on the right." She turned around and smirked at me. "You think you can handle that?"
I looked at her bemused and said with a shit ton of sarcasm, "No, I think I'm going to need someone to hold my hand." I then rolled my eyes and walked away. I tried to push the door, but it didn't move. What the hell is this sorcery! Am I going crazy? I can't push or pull it because it as no knob! "What the fuck is this black magic! Open up you demon or I shall seen you to hell!"
Nurse Bline facepalmed behind, she know something I didn't. But what? "Its a sliding door, Black Tail."
What? I pushed the door to the side and it opened. Once again, what sorcery is this? "Oh, well thanks. And its Jero!" I walked out and slammed the door behind myself. With my brows furrowed, I stomped down the hall and opened the double doors.
Outside I had a clear view of the school yard. It was hardly a yard at all! It was more like a damn street than anything! Down the street I say a few more buildings, some one or two stories. Then I say a couple that were three stories, just how big is this place?
The only living thing I saw outside was a cream colored earth pony. Her mane was blue and pink. She looked around, maybe she was looking for someone? "Hey, you over there! Do you know where building two is?" I pointed to to the right and sure enough there was another building there. "That is, it right?"
The mare looked over to me and nodded. "Yeah that's it." She went back to searching and I walked along over to the next building. As I'm walking this mare snaps her neck and stared at me for a moment before calling me back. "Hey wait!"
"What do you need?" I called back to her. The little pony ran up to me and looked me over. "I'm sorry, are you looking for someone?"
"Yes, my friend Lyra. I saw in the auditorium but didn't catch her." I have no idea who that is, so I just looked at her. "Lyra Heartstrings?" I shrugged. "The unicorn mare you slammed your head into?"
Oh! "Oh, her? I vaguely remember that, you know with the whole hitting of heads. I just woke up in the infirmary just a few minutes ago. If you want I can keep a look out for her."
"Oh that would be great, do you remember what she looks like?" I think she didn't hear when I said I vaguely remember, so I just shook my head. "Okay, she is sea foam green and has a white mane. Her eyes are golden and-"
I threw my hands out to stop her. "Hold the phone! Did you just say golden eyes? I have never hear of someone with golden eyes."
"Yeah well she does. Her cutimark is a golden lyre."
I nodded in acceptance. "Okay, I got it. If I see her I'll tell her you were looking for you. So what is your name?"
"I'm Bon Bon, I am a junior in building one."
"Okay Bon Bon, if I see Lyra I'll tell her." I waved her off and continued on my way. Then I remembered. "Hey! What happened to the flying carriage?"
"Oh that got taken care of. It is in the garages now, it was friend's right? We all saw him after he was brought down to the ground along with the carriage. He had to push the damn thing across campus."
"Also on that note, just how big is this place?"
Bon Bon smirked. "Don't you know? You were up in the air."
I see the reason behind that, but- "I had the sun in my eyes."
"Seems reasonable, don't worry though. We are going on a tour today after homeroom, so hurry up." Bon Bon then continued on her way, the same as me.
As I walk, I catch only a few students out in the halls. A few ponies and a few homunculi, I'm actually not minding this place that much, but the headbutt was a horrible introduction! I mean I can still feel the vibration in my skull. Also waking up at like 3 o'clock is a bitch too. I only ate a little for breakfast and that was only an apple. I like them, but the pieces always get stuck between my fangs. Oh and these bitches! I have such the over bite its not even funny. One of them is almost sticking out of my mouth, not that great for kissing.
I walk up the stairs and see this one bull homunculil walking down the stairs. I don't like the look this guys is giving me, but I keep walking and try not to look at him. As we pass each other I hear him huff hot air from his wide nostrils. Now that I think about it, everyone is looking at me. Some just to see me and others I think to measure me. How I walk and how I present myself, dare Luna I think I'm a target already. I grab a hold of my Sun and Moon chain and held it for a second before releasing it and letting hit my stomach. Yeah that is how long the chain is, and it ain't cheap too.
Drifting back to reality, I see the signs above the doors and notice the numbers are getting higher. B-6, what the hell? My dumbass passed B-3, derp. I turn around and see a small group of students whispering something while rushing their heads away from me. Either I'm a target or there is gossip afoot. It'll die down though. Now where is~...aha! B-3.
I open the sliding door, the right way this time, and see a light pink earth pony mare with a black mane walking back to her seat from the front. The instructor is a deep green pegasus with a blond mane breaking down the back of her head and her tail was the same. Her cutimark was a globe, so I am guessing she does something that involves people in general. "Thank you for introducing yourself Pink Fade. Now-" She spotted me, why do I have a bad feeling? "Um, can I help you?"
Spit had started to gather in my throat so I had to swallow it, releasing an audible gulping sound. "Yes um, I was told to go to room B-3 for homeroom." The mare looked to her desk and searched through a clipboard. "My name is Jerp Kyubo."
The mare brightened you and yelled. "Aha! Here you are, yup you are in the right class. I'm Ms. Spiro and we were just finishing up introductions, would you mind dusting us off?"
"Oh no problem." I slowly walked up to the chalk board and stood in front of the class of about 15, not that big. The seats were organized university style, going up a row the further you went. There were about three rows. I cleared my throat and began. "Um, hello everyone. I am Jero Kyubo and I came from Pearl Point. Just like you I hope to have a smooth year with all of you with no problems." I looked to my teacher as she spun her hooves in a circle. I sighed before moving on. "Does anyone have any questions." Like anyone would- holy shit a hand. I pointed to it and a dog girl popped up out of her chair near the front.
She had long brown hair and her ears flopped down. She was wearing a black blouse with a green skirt. This chick was not looking half bad to tell the truth, her eyes were green too! "Thank you. I was just wondering if you're the fox boy that fell from the sky earlier." As she said this, as I stood there, the ears of every single living being in that room perked up.
I sighed and nodded. "Yup that was me. Anything else?" Another hoof. "Yes?"
This time an orange earth pony mare with blonde mane and a cowboy hat asked, "How'd ya'll get up in the air?" Wow, the accent on this one.
"Ugh. Okay so my brother was picking me up from the train station with his carriage which he applied a combustion engine to. His lazy ass put in a lever when pushed, makes a huge ass explosion that sent us both into the air. He deployed a hang-glider and we were sailing for a short while before I fell off. That is when I hit a unicorn mare in the head. Boom, my mourning so far in the form of only a few sentences. Anyone else?"
A green hoof was thrown into the air. "So how is your head doing, Jero?"
I smirked and looked up to the unicorn. "I'm doing good. How is your head, Lyra?"
Everyone in the room gasped, except a few who I don't think really gave two shits. "I'm good. How do you know my name already?"
I wiggled my fingers and hunched my back. I whispered to her, "Magic~. Oh and Bon Bon is looking for you. I met her outside." I clapped my hands and rubbed them together. "I guess I'm done for now."
Walking up the steps to find an open seat, I only found one right next to the dog girl from before. Score! I didn't get any side looks from students in this class, I already like it. Well except for this one huge freaking dog guy, but it was more like watching both the girl and me. I walked through the aisle and took my seat next to this hot looking dog. She extended her hand out in friendship saying, "Hello Jero, I'm Rin. My brother Lethroldus is sitting right over there."
That is when I mental shit myself, hard. This sweet, young, hot as the fucking Sun girl is related to that guy? This guy had hands the size of my whole head. He was sitting but I'm guessing he was like 7 feet tall and had a rough face. The dude had fuck scares on his face in the shape of an X, that tells me this guy means business. Or my name ain't Jero "The Black Tail" Kyubo! I put on a poker face and smiled the best I could at Rin. "Oh really? He looks like a nice guys." I am a fucking pro at lying.
"He really is though. He has been taking care of me for so long, he wonderful." She waved over to Lethroldus and he waved back with a smile. Maybe he is alright, I don't know yet.
Ms. Spiro clapped her hooves to get the attention of the classroom. "Okay class. Like I said before I am Ms. Spiro and I will be both your homeroom teacher and you Life Lessons instructor." Hold the fuck up for one minute.
I jumped out of my seat and raised my hand. "Hold the phone. What do you mean Life Lessons?"
"Well it's just how it sounds, Life Lessons. I have flown around the whole world and learned from my different ponies and homunculi. I'll basically be a guidance specialist, but I will be teaching as well."
"Oh...well then." I felt slightly dumb asking that, so I will just be sitting down now. I earned a few chuckles from the classmates around me.
"Alright now if we have no more questions will everyone follow me? We will start the walk around the campus." Ms. Spiro started for the door and the class slowly got up to follow.
Rin gabbed hold of my arm and motioned me to come with her. Now that was a big fear because her brother was looking at me again. "Um, okay." That was a mistake because Lethroldus walked over to us and dear Luna I was right. He was like seven feet tall, he was a fuck tree!
As the students filed out, we came closer and closer. I was expecting a taunt or him yelling at me or something, but he extended his hand out to me. "Hello Jero, I'm Lethroldus."
"Oh, um." I took his hand and shook it. "Hey there."
Rin smiled. "Leth here was the one to take you and Lyra to the nurse after your accident."
"Really?" I was suprised, though I do remember being picked up by a big lug. "You are the one who brought me to the nurse?" He nodded with a smile. "Thanks man. I might have been in real trouble if I didn't get there in time. I found dried blood on the back of my head."
"No problem Jero, I'm glad I can help."
Lyra came out of nowhere and said, "I'd like to say thank you as well."
I was slightly confused. "Lyra, didn't you already leave the classroom?"
"Well yes, but I though I could hangout with our savoir here." She smiled up at Lethroldus.
I chuckled a little at that. "I understand thanking him, but I don't think we need to call him our savoir."
"Say what you want," She stood by Lethroldus's side. ",but I still hope we can be friends Lethroldus."
Lethroldus patted Lyra's head. My Goddess I thought we was going to crush her. "Of course Lyra, that would be great." D'aw, that is so adorable. A huge fucking tree making nice-nice with my cushion, so sweet. Really though he looks like he can kill her with minimal effort. I won't worry about it though, he seems easy going.
So after that little meeting, the four of us stuck in a small group on the way out of the building. I was still getting looks from the other homunculi, all of them. I sighed as we started the tour around the Academy. We all kept silent as Ms. Spiro talked. "Okay students we were just inside building two. This three story building is one of four that are split up into underclassman and upperclassman for both the high school and collage. Now follow me."
Ms. Spiro hovered in the air as we walked along into what seemed like a park. Ow! I think this is where the lake is. "This is the park. You can use it in any way you like except sports clubs and teams, you have the fields and track for that. Which we will visit later. The park is about half a square mile in size with a small lake." Luna Moon that is big! Just how big is this place? "For those of you who may be wondering Tandem Academy is about three square miles in size total." Well that was helpful. "I hope that was helpful."
I wish a blazing hot babe with big ass tits fell out of the sky! "Come along class, we have much more to see." Damn you, at least the walk through the park was nice. We even passed the lake that Blaze and Ms. Spiro talked about, that shit was a shallow pound! If Blaze landed in that the only thing that would have happened would be my corpse getting wet! Passing through the park, I see a clock tower with a bell on it. I wouldn't pay much mind to it, but I think I say someone walk on the top. I think it is a pegasus, yup it is a pony with wings. He flew away before I had the chance to tell anyone to look. Maybe he was just some prankster or liked the view. So about six minutes later we come out the other side and what do I see?
A quickie mart, a freaking quickie market on school grounds? Naw, can't be. It has two floors. The building was brick from what I could tell. A row of windows showing the inside but I couldn't see through them. "Here we have the Tandem student shop, I know but it is not a Quickie market." Bitch you reading my mind? I don't like that shit. "We sell supplies here like toilet paper, soap, brushes and should you need it for your cloths, bleach. Extra strong bleach."
I...am mind blown. I am sorry miss, it won't happen again! "I hope none of you will have to use the bleach though.You could always just buy another shirt here as well. Lets move on." Thank you Miss!
Walking a little longer, this, this is nice. And huge! "Here we have the student recreational building. It is three floors of ping-pong, arcade, a pool, a workout facility and spa." Just how much money was in the funding for this place? "Now I know some of you might be wondering how much funding and where it came from. If you paid attention to our Principles, you would know we got the funding directly from the Royal Sisters." Seems plausible, but why so much? "We have no idea why though."
"Okay it's not funny anymore!" I just yelled it out, I may have seemed stupid but I did it. Everyone looked at my confused or just laughing, most were the latter. "What? She was reading my mind."
Ms. Spiro giggled at my behavior. "I was not reading your mind." She continued to fly off to our next destination. A large statue of the Royal Sisters that was barred off with a metal gate. Now lets see here...hmm... Ms. Spiro got dat flank! Nice, round and plump!
"And here we have the statue of the Royal Sisters. As a rule you may look, but don't touch it." It wouldn't be that weird if she didn't look right at me. Like I saw the white in her eye, it was a little frisky too!
We continued on our way and I saw another class walking in our direction. Guess how I saw, take a guess. I'll give you a hint, he is a fucking Pyromaniac. Still can't guess? Well than you're a dumb ass just like him. He came closer, his red ass seen clearly in the crowd. He spotted me and smiled and waved. "Hey Bro! Jero, Jero!"
Everyone in both classes stared at me as I sighed. I love the guy, but he still nearly got us killed. I mean who puts an option like that in his carriage anyway? "Hey Blaze." As we passed, we gave each other a high hit. We then nodded and went on our way.
Rin, Lyra and Lethroldus seemed a little quizzed at my interaction with my brother. Rin then pulled my arm to get my full attention. "Who was that Jero? A friend of yours?"
I wanted to laugh, but I fought the urge. "Friend? That was my one and only brother, Craze Blaze. He is the reason I was in the air when the carriage was launched into the air. Yes I pushed the lever, but he put the damn option in!"
Lyra chuckled. "It sound to me that you are just mad that you were the reason you nearly died. You are just blaming your brother."
Lethroldus nodded. "Yeah, she is right you know. You're simple projecting the fault onto your brother." ........I'm not going to dignify that with a response. Whoa, new buildings! What is this Ms. Spiro?
As we looked at the sight of about three different buildings varying in size , Ms.Spiro crossed her hooves and stiffened her upper lip. Why you little...fine! "Maybe you're right Lethroldus, thanks for the advice." Now explain mare!
That-nice mare-smiled at me!?. I am going to find out how she is doing this shit and learn! "These are the club and team meeting rooms. For those of you who are going to be on sports teams, scholastic teams and other kinds of clubs while here. These buildings hold everyone from Swimming team to Student Council." Thank you, now what is next? "Next we have the gym, fields and tracks. Nothing really special. Hoofball, Basketball, Soccer and Track. Sports, plan and clean.
I look over to Lethroldus with a smirk. "So you going on any teams, Lethroldus? The ladies and mares love an athlete."
Lethroldus blushed like mad! I mean he now looked like a tree with blood on it. Okay that wasn't the best analogy but he was really crimson! "No, I don't plan on it. There is only one I really like and she isn't at this school. At least I haven't seen her if she is."
"Oh I see Lethroldus." I nudged him and gave him a smirk. "You got your eye on a diamond piece? What is she like?"
"Oh, I don't think now is a good time for that Jero." Rin cautioned me, she then leaned in closer. "She never really acknowledged him. She'd always study or hang out with her friends. He tried to go up to her once, but one of her friends stopped him and threatened him." Rin glanced over to Lethroldus as we walked in the back of the group. "He really liked her too."
Damn man, I can sympathize for you. "Yeah, I know some guys like that back in Pearl Point. It is a sad but true reality."
I looked around our location and noticed some benches and trash cans. Some tables were scattered around another smaller building, it looked like a dinner to me. "This is the Academy dinner, it'll mostly be used for us teachers. But I think you students can use it on the weekends. You'll have to use your own money though. Next we have dorms and garages." Wait, Bon Bon said something about those. Why do we need those? Explain while you fly mare!
Ms. Spiro turned her head and looked at me again, I'm at the point of fear now. She keeps smiling at me! Is she going to hurt me, rape me, give me a detention? What? What I ask you!
"For those of you who have carriages or other moods of transportation, you probably already reserved your spots. For the others, its just a big garage where you put the carriages and the like. We don't have time to right now visit it, but we do have time to go into the dorm lobby." No time? What time is it anyway?
I take my arm away from Rin for a second and check my E-Deck. I am so glad it survived that fall. Okay let me see here and it is 12:35...what? How can it already be that late? What time did I wake up in the nurse? How long have we been walking around? Fuck it, I get my stuff quicker this way.
The class and I walked into this huge three story building labeled Harmony Dorm. I look over to Rin, Lyra and Lethroldus and ask them, "Any of you know why the dorm is named? And name Harmony Dorm at that?" The three of them shook their heads. "Well then, I guess we will find out."
This place isn't half bad. The floor was marble with a big T in a black ring around it. My guess is that's the schools logo. From the entrance, there was a staircase to the left and a service counter on the right with a wooden top and computer. The walls where beige and the ceiling was russet brown. Paintings kept the wall from being bare and a few message boards were scattered around as well. Directly across from the door was a large section of lockers. I couldn't see the whole thing, but from what I saw, each one was about the size of a small box. There was another hallway, but I couldn't see where it was going.
Ms. Spiro walked along side us this time, being polite and not taking flight indoors. "Alright, this is Harmony Dorm. It is one of four. It goes Chaos, Harmony, Night and Day." Seems plausible.
"The top two floors are for the living space's. On the first floor you have your mail box's, each student has one. Then down that hallway is the common room, it is mostly sofas and small tables with chairs. For when you want to just relax, but don't want to leave the dorm or go into your rooms."
Ms.Spiro then led the way out of the dorm. "We only have one more stop, then from there you have the rest of the day to yourselves." Let me make a wild fucking guess. "The student cafe." I just won a million bits! "Where you can eat a million bits worth." And where you giv- "Where you can get detentions if you don't act properly." Screw it, I'm just going to stop trying.
On the way to the cafe though, we came across more classes. More classes, mean more students looking at my tail. Oh and guess who I saw there inside the cafe? I saw the same bull boy from before, and he stared daggers at me. Yay, I am a target!
