The first Monday of September was often considered the end of summer and the start of school. In Animalia, this was the same case, though there were a few exceptions.
Both WSA and WSA Heiya Island had the same "orientation week" and the same "assignment", a report on "How I spent my Summer Vacation...", though there was a general theme of 'taking part in the IAC', which wasn't too much of a surprise. In fact, instead of the "usual" trophies and plaques found on display in a high school, there were the medals and/or awards that students of WSA had earned.

Dino City was working on its own version/branch of WSA, scaled up for Dinotopian students, but there was still some disagreements on the overall theme of the school, such as whether it would be inspired by certain television shows. However, there were things being shown off that would be part of the planned school. One example was the computers, and many were having trouble not laughing at them, mainly because of how "oversized" they were, especially the keyboards.

WSA Heiya Island had a bit of a minor incident, but it was still amusing nonetheless, as well as completely harmless. During the tour of the school building, everyone was shown the unisex locker rooms. When it was revealed that the locker rooms and restrooms were unisex, one guy started goofing around by running out of the locker room screaming, before almost immediately turning around, coming back into the locker room to wash his hands, then running out of the locker room screaming again. Ami had already been aware of this, so didn't penalize him too much.
Of course, there were those who were either relieved or disappointed that things that most people thought happened at "Samurai Prep" either did or didn't happen. Though most of the ideas behind this were either from their own fantasies or high school drama anime/magna/manhua, which was actually nothing like real life. Though it did inspire Miss Fabina to plan out some High School Dramas to add to Animalia's well-patronized Adult Entertainment videos. Right now, though, she was wrapping up the finishing touches on the "tribal conversion" for the six males with hormonal imbalances, though if her intuition was right, they would end up as blazing studs of stallion Animalians afterwards.

Of course, there were those who were attempting to either start new relationships or take things further in their current relationships at WSA, both in Lyre/Animalia and Heiya Island. While there were some really good attempts, others seemed to just fail so horribly to be stuck in the "friendzone", whether willing or not. But it wasn't just the guys who were doing epic fails, as there were some girls who seemed to get the wrong ideas about what guys want, whether from their parents, their favorite "romance stories", the internet, or other things. One that would become Exhibit A of how a girl should NOT ask a guy out happened at "Samurai Prep".
What happened was that one who was considered one of the "popular girls" at her old school was transferred to "Samurai Prep" (though willing or not was unknown), and she set her sights on a young stallion Animalian. The problem was when she decided to do a surprise seduction in the shower room, like her mom told her (or so she said). In the end, the stallion Animalian spent his first day at "Samurai Prep" in the nurses office, while the girl got a week of detention for "taking things too far too fast".
