16 What Is Thomas's Beast Form?

This time also, he stood up in front of the same two lights.

This time he didn't walk. He ran as fast as he could. When there were only ten steps left, he started hearing the same screams again. But he covered his ears and ran until he touched the light. As soon as he touched the light, it was very comfortable. He felt very comfortable as if he was in his mother's embrace. Very secure!

"Did you touch it?"

"Yes. It's okay now."

"Then slowly try entering your hand inside. But don't move after that. Let things happen on their own. Just close your eyes and don't move. Okay?"

Thomas did as Anderson asked. As his hand went through the light, he saw the light spreading everywhere and then it roaming around his body.

Then it suddenly came to him and disappeared.

That was the moment everyone fell down. While they were in the middle of the lights they would float in the air. When it was sucked into the body, they would fall down.

Thomas opened his eyes in pain. He was lying on the ground.

"You did it! Now try relaxing your body. Then focus on your heartbeat. When you feel the rhythm changing in your heart, stop breathing. Until I call you, don't breathe. If you feel like passing out, then just pass out. But don't breathe, it will disturb the process."

After Thomas nodded, Anderson walked away from him and asked him to start.

Thomas took a deep breath after relaxing his body. Then he focused on his heartbeat. Until a few minutes, he didn't notice anything. But after waiting, he finally felt his heart beating fast. It was very abnormal. He stopped breathing as Anderson said. He held his breath until he passed out as Nick also did. He also passed out at that time.

Anderson came to the unconscious Thomas and couldn't erase the smile on his face. It was a great thing. It was the most satisfying transformation process in his eyes. Thomas was the most important transformer among all of his students.

Because in a world where there were only a few transformers left in that one special kind, another transformer was born. 

'A dancing fairy!'

Anderson couldn't take his eyes away. He once wished he would have been born to be a dancing fairy instead of a spirit fairy. Because in every way, dancing fairies were the most powerful in the clan of fairies.

Anderson poured some water into Thomas's mouth and waited until he woke up. It didn't take long for him to wake up. As soon as he woke up, what he saw was his teacher Anderson who was full of tears.

"Teacher?"

Thomas woke up in confusion. Did something happen?

He looked at himself but there was nothing different.

'Am I nothing?'

Other than anxiety, there was no feeling he felt.

"No, no... I am very happy. That's why these tears. Get up!"

Anderson helped Thomas to stand up.

"Teacher! I did it! It only took 50 seco-"

Sheli who was running there while shouting stopped talking suddenly.

She looked stunned.

"Teacher, what is that?"

Sheli pointed at Thomas's hair. Thomas touched his hair to check what it was. That's when his hair suddenly loosened and fell freely.  

Thomas saw his own hair in a different colour.

"It's, it's white!"

He touched his hair. It still felt the same, but it was a different colour. And, while he stroked his hair, he touched something. 

"It is a leaf. You have a headband made of leaves. Here look!"

Anderson gave him the mirror.

As he said there was a headband made of fresh green leaves on his head. And his hair is also white. Not to say, his eyes also had turned green. They looked like green jade. Very shiny, but sharp.

"Is that it? I don't have anything special?"

Disappointment aroused in his heart. But Anderson didn't have the same opinions as him.

"What are you talking about? You are the best creature I had ever wanted to see. This is still enough."

Anderson touched his headband and said in displease, after hearing Thomas was sad.

"Then what am I?"

Unlike Anderson, Thomas didn't know anything. So he could only ask Anderson.

"A fairy. But you are lucky. You are not a normal fairy like me, but a dancing fairy."

Anderson said excitedly. He had been waiting to see a dancing fairy one day. Who thought his student would fulfil his wish?

"..."

Thomas didn't say anything. Anderson also didn't say anything after that. He was sure that Thomas would be happy by seeing himself, very soon. 

However, Thomas didn't look very happy. Maybe because he thought he was only a beautiful thing with no power. He didn't know what it meant to be a dancing fairy.

"Who is a dancing fairy? I had never heard about a fairy like that."

Sheli who was watching them commented from the side. 

"I will tell you. Now since all of you have succeeded, I have something important to say."

He called the other three too. As they walked there, they looked at Thomas who looked extremely beautiful to the point they mistook him for some other girl.

"Woah! Your hair! It's very bright."

Kevin, who always loved to admire everything, told his idea as soon as he came to Thomas.

"Okay, now sit down everyone."

Anderson asked them to sit. All of them sat down in a row in front of Anderson.

"Now, all of you know your forms. But I still couldn't tell you something important. I simply forgot it. Sorry about that."

Anderson straightened himself up and sat down in front of them on the ground.

"Do you know that every late bloomer has something in common? And it's a good thing that normal awakeners never have. Can you guess?"

Anderson asked them with an excited grin on his face.

"Mmmm....no idea."

"What is it?"

"Teacher, don't make us curious. Please tell us."

When they became impatient, Anderson finally revealed it.

"Every late bloomer has the ability to hide one special feature when they transform, which normal awakeners never can!"
