Of course

Marty's smile widened, "Good, well keep close."

You finish changing and run out onto the basketball court, the last student there. "Humans may be tardy in their own schools but not here. If you are late again I will show you the true meaning of the law of the jungle. Do you understand me?" the hyena coach laughed.

You can't tell through the cackle if he is serious or not. The main reason you are a little confused is that, although carnivores, hyena's are scavengers and not, typically, considered to be a predator. "Now, we all know what happened last dodgeball game. This time there will be no side bets, the losing team will not offer up one herbivore of the team to be eaten by the predators of the winning team. Am I clear?"

There was the sound of disgruntled agreement from the carnivores in the students but some smiles from the herbivores. "That being said," the teacher continued, "I cannot complain about a little light-hearted competition. So, if it is agreeable I have a proposal. Dodgeball does not take that long, so for the remainder of the lesson the first person, carnivore or herbivore, who is out will be at the disposal of the winning team, all of them."

You notice the carnivores looking hungrily at the herbivores and omnivores, more than one set of eyes falls on you but a quick, and vicious glance from Marty causes them to divert their gaze. He turns to you and gives you a wink.

"There doesn't appear to be any complaints, so," he looked over the assembled students. "Jain, and anyone on their left, you at team A, everyone on Jain's right, you are team B."

He opened a cage of soft large rubber balls and they spilt out over the court.
