74、Trick
It was next week monday, Jennifer dressed in an unsusl atire that shocked everyone. It was the first time she was dressing in trouser. She was wearing blue baggy jeans and red cropped sleeveless shirt. Looking and walking like a rascal celebrity.
They would be having their last class with Mike that day and would be be having their finally classes in all subject the next day.
The exam timetable was out and would be starting from next week. As much as she didn’t want to set her eyes on Mike, she couldn’t wait for Mike to come to class.
For Mike, he has been battling within himself, having double mind on whether to come to class or not. After much deliberation, he made up his mind to attend class and do his final revision.
He needs to do some revision and chip a topic which was not in the syllabus just because of Jennifer. He was wearing a complete three set of blue suit, causing him to look manly with a newly hair cut and shaved beards. He totally look different and probably wore it because of Jennifer.
The the unending noise in the class was silenced as Mike entered the class. Jennifer felt her beating as he set her eyes on Mike. She watched him as he dressed decently. She was hurt that she can’t have someone like him. At some point, she regretted ever attending the class.,
Mike began the class with revision, touching all the topics he had thought from day one. Jennifer was not paying attention. She had her head buried in her phone as Mike as lecturing.
“For those pressing thier phone while I’m teaching,” This caught Jennifer’s attention and she slowly raised her head up and glanced at Mike. There was no trace of smile on her face. “To pass this upcoming exam, you have to pay good attention. This exam is going to be tough and harder than any other exam you have taken before”
Jennifer knew he was talking about her. He wanted to get her attention.
He spend the next hour, teaching some important part of his previous topics before he asked a verse question. “Have any of you witnessed a real werewolf before?” Mike asked the class went silent. No body was raising fingers to reply.
“OK, I can see that no body here have witnessed it before which is normal but do you guys believe that werewolf exist? Or do you think they have existed before? He asked which later turned out to an interactive class.
Many students raised up their hands to answer the question. Mike pointed the first person who was a guy and he sat up.
“No, they don’t exist, and they are unlikely to ever exist in the future” He answered and sat down. Another student got up.
“I will say no, They don’t exist. There are no werewolves in existence. The closest thing to what would be considered a wolf man was recorded in the Bible, when King Nebuchadnezzar lost his mind for several years due to his pride, and it says he was driven away from men, ate grass like an ox and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles feathers, and his nails like birds claws. That’s about as close as it gets, but no. There are no other records of an actual werewolf or wolf man.” He concluded and sat down. Another student got up immediately. Her name is Anabel, she was among the popular noise makers.
“Well YES!!” She said and all eyes diverted to her in shock.
“Why are all of you looking at me like that? Don’t think I’m crazy, I’m not. I know what I’m saying. It has a scientific reason behind it, yes. However they are totally different from what you have seen in the movies. The reason behind their existence is not some mythical story or legend. But it is a disease named as hypertrichosis which can turn a human being to werewolves. The Ware wolf disease or hypertrichosis is an abnormal amount of hair growth over the body. Hypertrichosis can either be from birth or acquired. There is no cure of the hypertrichosis from birth but the acquired one can be cured. But if you are looking for a person who turns into a werewolf then sorry they don’t exist.” She finished and sat down.
Mike was expecting Jennifer to say something but she wasn’t looking like someone who is ready to say anything.
This time, Sandra got up to answer and said, “No, they are not. It is impossible for a human being to change into something resembling a wolf in such a short period of time, and I’m sure that the full moon has no magical abilities.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
It is true that when the moon is closer to Earth, we do notice it down here due to it pulling on the Earth with its gravitation, but nothing more than that. For a human to grow into a wolf, we would have to gain a whole ton of new muscles, bones, and quickly develop features we simply just don’t have, such as a wet nose, claws, and fangs. In other words, we would have to grow a ton of new cells while also dramatically change our DNA or maybe activate a paused code in the DNA that would activate the wolf in us. The amount of energy it would take to do such a change to our bodies is huge. Probably more than what we have in our own bodies. So in reality, when our new bones and muscles are made, we would at the same time shrink up and die out of lack of, well, what makes us. A paradox really. I have a feeling the end result would be a wet blob of flesh on the ground.” The class was totally silent as she talk.
“So sadly, we can’t be massive wolves that runs around at night when the full moon is out, no matter how much I dreamt of this as a kid. But maybe it is for the better, since werewolves are so hungry when they have transformed because of the energy it takes to shapeshift. I don’t even want them to exist. They kill and eat everything they can get their paws on, no matter what. They may end up eating my dogs” She finished and some student bursted into laughter.
Just then, Caleb stood up. Some student started murmuring. They knew he will have a long explanation to make.
