The next morning, Cortex and his crew were done with the construction of the school.

"We're done!" said Tiny as he raised his thumb, which was bandaged.

"I believe that it is time to spread the word, boys!" exclaimed Cortex.

Meanwhile, on the front yard of Crash's house, Crash and his friends were doing the same things they did yesterday for no apparent reason.

"This is boring." said Liz. "Isn't there ANYTHING interesting to do on this island?"

"Yeah! I want to bash some skulls!" complained Crunch.

Cortex and N. Gin suddenly jumped out of a nearby bush.

"Great, here comes Lame-o Dork-tex." said Liz in a bored tone.

"Greetings everyone! I have an announcement to make!" exclaimed Cortex.

"You've finally decided to go throw yourself down a cliff?" joked Coco. Everyone except Cortex and N. Gin laughed at the joke.

"Better than that! I have opened a school!" said Cortex. "Follow me!"

Cortex and N. Gin wandered into the jungle. Crash looked at Coco, who simply shrugged. As soon as Crash and Coco started following Cortex, everyone decided to do the same since they had nothing better to do.

They soon arrive to a structure covered with a red curtain.

"Ladies and gentlebeasts, let me present to you the greatest learning establishment ever established for learning..."

Cortex pulled down a rope to unveil a big structure that looked like a college.

"Dr. Neo Cortex's Academy for Animals!" Cortex announced. "Right this way, please."

They entered the academy. A few minutes later, they entered a classroom that looked like it came out of a college, with many stairs and rows of seats. The teacher's desk(as well as the chalkboard) were at the bottom of the room.

"Before we begin, I want to introduce you to your classmates..."

Tiny, Koala Kong, Dingodile, Ripper Roo, The Komodo Bros., Pinstripe and Rilla Roo came walking in the room.

"Huh? What the heck are THEY doing here?" asked Coco.

"They're here to learn alongside you, so be nice to them or else!" warned Cortex. "We'll separate the students into two groups; Group A and group B. Coco, Pinstripe, Tiny, Dingodile, Crunch, Liz and Megumi will be in group A while all the other students will be in group B. By the way, here are your uniforms."

N. Gin was holding a pile of sailor outfits for both boys and girls.

"You don't expect us to wear THOSE?" asked Amy in disgust.

"We got the wrong order and we ended up with these uniforms from another place." said N. Gin.

"Which would be...?" said Amy.

"Japan." replied N. Gin.

"Those outfits are kinda cute." said Liz.

"Huh?" said everyone except Liz.

"Fine then, forget the stupid outfits! Just wear your own clothes or somebody else's clothes if you wish!" said Cortex. "Now then, do you have any questions before we begin?"

Coco raised her hand.

"Yes, Coco?" said Cortex.

"I was just wondering, are you the principal of the academy?" asked Coco.

"No, I'm just a teacher." replied Cortex.

"Who's the principal, then?" asked Coco.

Uka Uka came in wearing a tie around the place where his neck would be.

"That would be me!" he said.

"Why did I even bother asking?" said Coco to herself.

"Any more questions?" asked Cortex. "No questions? In that case, we'll begin!"

A few minutes later, math class was starting for group A as they sat on their respective seats.

"Good day to you, students. In case you don't know, which has a small chance of happening, my name is Dr. Neo Cortex and I will be your math teacher for the day." said Cortex.

Coco looked around her to notice that all of the other seats were empty. She raised her hand.

"What is it, Coco?" asked Cortex.

"Dr. Cortex-" started Coco before getting interrupted.

"That's MR. Cortex to you!" corrected Cortex.

"Right. Mr. Cortex, I can't help but notice that all of the other seats are empty." said Coco.

"I'll fix that." replied Cortex. "Seat fillers!"

A group of lab assistant androids suddenly came barging in the room and sat on the empty seats.

"Good. NOW the lesson can officially begin!" said Cortex. "Let's start with a few simple equations."

Cortex took a piece of chalk and wrote "2+2?" on the chalkboard.

"What does 2+2 equal?" asked Cortex.

Tiny frantically raised his hand.

"Yes, Tiny?" said Cortex.

"48!" answered Tiny.

"No, that's not the right answer." said Cortex.

Wait, Tiny knows this one!" exclaimed Tiny. "Uhhh...25! 87! 30! Pie! Tiny! Cortex! Dinosaurs! Mayonnaise! Peanuts!"

"No, no, NO! None of these answers are right!" shouted Cortex.

"Wait, Tiny's got it now!" said Tiny. "56! Crash! Mountain! Bananas! Monkeys!"

"(sigh) Why me?" said Cortex to himself.

Meanwhile, group B was having gym class with none other than Papu Papu as their teacher. All the students of group B were wearing clothes fit for gym class(i.e. t-shirts, short pants, etc.).

"Welcome to gym class." said Papu Papu. "Today, we do warm-up exercises. We start with jumping jacks. Everybody ready? Go!"

Everyone started to do jumping jacks.

THREE HOURS LATER...

Everyone was still doing jumping jacks and they were getting tired.

"I can't feel my legs!" complained Komodo Moe.

"Aren't we supposed to do anything else than jumping jacks?" asked Amy.

"Sorry. The only exercise Papu Papu knows is jumping jacks." replied Papu Papu.

Everyone stopped doing jumping jacks to catch their breath.

"Well, that was a good work-out for my body!" exclaimed Isabella while massaging her legs.

"Sssssspeak for yourssssself! My legs feel like apple ssssssssauce!" complained Komodo Joe.

Crash fell flat on the ground from all the exhaustion.

Back in math class...

"It's time for a pop quiz! Anyone who manages to ace this test will have a better chance of graduating. So don't FAIL!" said Cortex.

Cortex passed some sheets of paper to everyone.

"This will be easy." thought Coco.

"I hope I won't be late for my appointments." thought Liz.

"Burp!" thought Tiny.

After a while, Pinstripe got bored and threw a paper airplane at Cortex's direction. Dingodile noticed the paper airplane and toasted it with his flamethrower.

"Not on my watch, mate!" said Dingodile.

"What is going on?" asked Cortex.

"He wanted to throw a paper airplane at ya." replied Dingodile while pointing at Pinstripe.

"Tattletale!" retorted Pinstripe.

"Pinstripe! Go to the corner this instant!" shouted Cortex.

"Aw man!" complained Pinstripe as he went to the corner.

"I'll take that!" said Cortex as he took Dingodile's flamethrower. "You should know that a flamethrower is NOT a toy. Weapons like this could harm the other students, like a ray gun, for instance."

Tiny raised his hand.

"(sigh) Yes, Tiny?" said Cortex.

"What's a ray gun?" asked Tiny.

Cortex promptly shot him with his ray gun.

In history class, N. Gin was telling the students of group B how the universe was "created".

"In the beginning, Cortex and I created the universe and all of the planets in the solar system, therefore making us the rulers of the universe!" explained N. Gin as he pointed to a chalk drawing of himself, Cortex and the solar system. "Any questions?"

A crumbling sound was suddenly heard. N. Gin turned around and saw Cortex coming out of a hole in the wall while pushing Tiny.

"What are you doing, master? Are you mad?" asked a panicky N. Gin.

"Can you take care of Tiny? He's slowing down all the other students, which keeps them from learining anything." replied Cortex with a goofy smile.
