A/N: Yes, I may be focusing on this a bit, but I'm in no way leaving other stories to rot. ...Atleast, not for long! I've always found things such as learning about the how things work to be rather interesting, and that goes doubly so for mythical creatures and the like! Anywho, on with the show!
Midnight, Keine's class, Rumia's PoV:
I began to divide in half, careful to keep both cores in only one side, as now would be just about to worst time to give birth.
"When an Ooze seperates, yet keeps both of its Cores, it's called a Slave Ooze. When an Ooze does the exact same, but gives one of her Cores to the Slave, it's basically the closest thing my kind does to giving birth." Keine rose a brow to the terms I used, as they weren't the terms she knew of, but let me continue.
"I can divide into a nearly infinite number of Slaves, but can only give birth to one true Ooze at a time." I began to demonstrate this, by splitting my Slave into the same number as there are students with a pair of spares, so as to give Keine and Mima one as well. It took a fair bit of concentration to be in around fourty bodies at once, so they were all moving rather slugishly towards their targets. The first to arive at their destinations were the pair bound for my friends, which slid their way up the respective leg of each, before being grabbed by the respective woman.
"An Ooze can scale just about any surface, due to the way our body is. Watch the Slave at your feet as it makes its way to the surface of your desk." One by one, the little Oozes began to crawl up the wooden legs of the desks by encircling the leg, and slowly rolling their way up it.
The children watched in amazement as the tiny blobs of meat scented black goop made it to the top of their desks one by one. It would have been a far faster process, but it was mentally draining to climb about fourty surfaces at once.
"You may do with those Slaves as you please for the time being. I'm sure you're all quite curious as to what I feel li- Gyahahaa...!" I suddenly felt Mima tickle the surface of the blob that was resting atop her palm, causing me to interrupt myself with laughter.
"S-stop it...! M-mima, please! Gwahaha...!" My main body twitched and twisted about, trying to cope with the tickling. One by one, the smaller blobs began to twitch about as well, looking as though they were dancing.
Keine calmly grabbed Mima's hand, so as to allow the lesson to continue.
"Aww..." Mima pouted, and stopped tickling me. I let out a happy sigh, as being tickled always left me in a good mood.
"And that, was an example of just how sensetive an Ooze's sense of touch i-" I was interrupted by one of the children petting the blob before her. "Mmm..." I slowly began to emmit a sputtering wet purring sound.
Noticing this, the child stopped petting me, as she had been thoroughly disturbed by the noise I emited.
"I-I'm quite-" My main body twitched hard, as one of the children had decided to find out what it felt like to stick a finger in the squishy slime on their desk. "N-noo..! Take i-it out, kid...!" The child in question blushed beet red, before removing his finger from his portion of me.
I paused to catch my ...well, I don't really have to breathe, as I simply absorbe the air through my skin and pull it towards my core.
"O-okay... Uhh... I suppose you all can throw my Slaves at me now, and I'll reform." One by one, I found myself being pelted with... myself, which caused my body to slowly get pushed back, and my body to ripple like stones cast into water.
"Now, for the last of my portion of the lesson-" Many sounds of dissapointment were heard at this. "I will show you my digestive process. Keine, you have that pig you spoke of, correct?" I began to make my way to the door, leaving behind a shiny trail which slowly made its way after me. It's not good to leave a layer of your body behind, so I have to constantly will it back into myself.
"Ahh, yes, it's in my cold box. You wish to use it as a demonstration, I take it?" Keine hadn't expected me to be such a good teached; she may actually keep me around for the next portion of the class, if only to keep the children interested in the subject of Oozes.
"Yeah, go and get it so that I can demonstrate the act of eating prey. It'll have to be outside, or else I'll end up eating your floor, too." Keine cringed at my claim, as she really hadn't expected me to be that acidic.
"R-right. Class, follow the blob of acid outside, and I'll be back in a moment." Keine rushed off to her kitchen, rummaging through the large cold box that she kept all of her food in. It took her a moment, but she finally located the pig. She bumped the door of the cold box shut with her rear, and rushed outside, a frozen pig slung over her shoulder.
I had already begun to re-enable the acidic properties of my body, and the dirt beneath me had begun to burn, and I was ever so gradually sinking into the ground.
"Hurry, or else It'll be a pain in the ass to get out of the pit I'll end up making..." Keine was quite surprised that I was eating through the dirt as quickly as I was. She'd never actually seen an Ooze in person, so she only had texts to go by. However, there was no information on Black Puddings, as they are just that rare, so she could only assume that we were about the same as other types of Oozes. However, there was a reason that we were reffered to as the most dangerous form of Ooze; a fully grown Black Pudding can end up large enough to weigh 5 metric tons, which is a multiple of the size of any other Ooze. I'm actually quite young for my species, only weighing in at about 100 kilos, however, I hadn't a clue about how large I might end up in the future. Furthuremore, we are the most acidic kind of Ooze, and can eat just about anything rather quickly.
"Well? Any time now... I've already eaten a metre into the ground!" Keine jumped, as she had forgotten about her role that was needed.
Keine hefted the mid sized pig off of her shoulder, and put it beside the pit, before slowly pushed it towards the edge with her foot. She stopped pushing, and backed away, when the pig was at the exact edge of the pit.
"Now, gather around, or you may miss this display of just how quickly my acids can disolve things." Keine rose a brow at my claim. It couldn't be that fast, right?
Once everyone could see, I reached up, and pulled the pig into the pit. Instantly, the skin of the pig began to bubble, and slowly erode away down to the meat. The meat was a slightly slower process, but still quite fast, all things considered.
After only a minute, my body was quite happy, and nothing of the pig remained, save for the bones. I couldn't help but gurgle with joy, as it had been such a long time since I had time to revert to my natural form and eat a creature whole like this.
Keine was quite speachless at just how quickly I had eaten the pig, so I got a small meal of surprise to boot.
"Ohh? Did I surprise you with how strong my acids are, Keine~?" All of the children turned to the teacher, surprised at how their teacher was surprised, thus giving their teacher a bit of a meal, too. Neither of us found that emotion particularly tasty, but it was still a meal.
"N-no! No, you didn't surprise me!" I already knew that was a lie, for obvious reason.
"If you say so... Anyways, as it's getting early, I suppose I should get going." I began to disable my acids, and return to my humanoid form.
First, my insides hardened a bit, forming a black skeleton, which had one core in the skull, the other in the center of the rib cage. Next, I began to concentrate my body, and form it into muscles and organs and such, before using the last of my body mass to create pitch black skin.
It would take awhile to return the color to my... well, everything, but That's fine.
I hopped from the pit that was now just outside of the school, not really caring if I was seen in a state of undress.
"W-where are your clothes? !" Keine we blushing furiously at my state of undress, while trying to keep the children from seeing me.
"Ehh? Ohh, they're in the class room." All of the boys looked upon my form, which Keine wasn't hiding all that much, and couldn't help but bend over to hide a certain something.
"Ahh, seems the boys like what they see!" Mima chuckled to herself, and pointed out something made every single child among them blush beet red. The boys, for obvious reason; the girls, because of what was going on with the boys.
"C-class dismissed!" Keine shouted, shooing the embarassed children away, and left me to get dressed. She probably woke up some of those who were asleep at this time, but she was too embarrassed at the time to care.
Jeez, it's only a bit of skin, and it's not like I even have any color to myself as of yet! All that can be seen are what look like a pair of modest breasts, and the surface of my womanly oriface.
I quickly found my clothes, and got dressed. "So, want me back for the rest of this Ooze class?" Keine jumped from behind the door, as she was waiting outside of the room for me to finish dressing.
Keine at first growled in annoyance, before sighing in defeat. "...Yes." It's good that she was being honest!
We went on to discuss the next lesson, and when it would be, while Mima waited around, quite obviously bored out of her mind. I'd have to do my very best to make up for the current lack of fun at some point! ...Then again, I suppose that would depend upon on if we were lucky enough to not be interrupted for once.
