14 Mop Up Duties (2/2)

The cat girl held out her right paw, palm facing up.

I glanced at the paw for a moment.What was I supposed to do?Aha!An idea sprang to mind.”High-five!” I said as I slapped her paw.

Kalistra muttered, ”Stupid human,” under her breath as the students behind her snickered.She took a moment to regain her composure and said, ”You owe five silver coins for today's lesson.”She flexed her paw for emphasis.

”Oh!” My lips formed an ”O” shape at her demand.Sheepishly, I reached into my waistband and fished out coins from the small hidden pocket.I took five silver coins and handed over my tuition for today's class.

The coins disappeared in the cat girl's own pocket.Kalistra waved her paw in the air.

The students behind her slowly got back to their feet.The ten students lined up into two rows and stood to our left and right.

”You may leave, Lawrence,” Kalistra said.She had a gleam in her eye.

Still feeling the effect of Exhaustion, I slowly walked past my tormentor.I prayed to God this will be the last time I see this evil cat girl again!I pulled on the iron door handle on the right door but it would not budge.I tried again and still, it would not move.

I hear snickers again behind me.

With her tail dangling in the air, Kalistra sauntered past me.With very little effort, she pulled on the handle with her right paw and opened the door.

I ignored the smirk on her face and finally left the madhouse.
