Chapter 778 Unexpected Strangeness
"Mi'ja."
"Yes, sir?" The Class Representative popped up almost as soon as her name was called by the Instructor.
She had a bright smile on her face, but also a slightly nervous look. This was the appropriate manner to respond to one of higher authority in Draconic Custom, and she perfectly displayed that.
"You are in charge of the newbies. Make sure they fit in and properly acclimate to this place. They should also be aware of the events coming up." Mi'ja nodded, bowing her head to the teacher almost immediately.
"Understood, Sir Isra'il!" Then, she turned to the two new students and flashed the warmest kind of smile at them.
"I'll do my best."
A mere observation of this scene would make it clear why she was the Class Representative. Not only did she have the optimal response to authority, but she wasn't too stiff that she couldn't properly interact with her classmates.
She was also very cute, with an adorably round face and pretty almond eyes.
After speaking, Mi'ja returned gracefully to her seat, causing the Instructor to proceed with whatever else he had to say.
"Now that Homeroom is over, it's about time for your first period today. I'll be taking my leave now, but remember to come by my office if you need anything." He said, particularly focusing on the newbies once he said this.
"I'll make sure to show them your office during Break Period."
"Thank you, Mi'ja."
"Mhm!"
Instructor Isra'il left the class after that, and not long after, a very attractive woman slid into the classroom with her long, oversized robe that dragged on the ground anytime she made any movement.
"Hello, my adorable students! Ready for another round of learning?"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Lesgooooooo!!!"
"Bet!"
"Hehehehehe!"
"I've been waiting for this!"
The Instructor this time was called Kar'eena, and she was very popular among the students.
This wasn't only due to her charming looks or exceptionally friendly personality that won the hearts of all the students present.
No, it was primarily due to the fact that she was very good at her job.
In essence… very strong.
"Open your desks and get your devices ready! We'll be jumping straight into where we stopped the last time—ah, looks like we have new faces. Forgive my manners."
Just like with Isra'il, she placed one hand on her forehead and one on her belly while bowing gently. This was the polite way to greet someone that one was meeting for the first time in Draconic Culture.
Needless to say, the new students reciprocated.
"My name is Kar'eena. Let's have some fun, okay?"
And so, each student brought out their Display Tablets from underneath their desks, just as the Instructor told them, and without wasting much time… the lectures began!

'Strange. Everything about this place is strange…'
Rey had done a phenomenally good job hiding his surprise regarding several things already, but that didn't mean he couldn't mull over all of these things in his mind.
'This Class… no, this entire Empire… it's different from what I imagined.'
When he thought of the Dragons and their civilization, he expected something medieval and not particularly advanced, but coming here had really opened his eyes to what the Empire was truly like.
'It's similar… too similar to Earth.'
The Empire had automated transport systems and traffic networks similar to Earth, and they had incredibly tall buildings that screamed of modernity. Their communication devices were simply another version of phones, and it was readily available to the average citizen. They had overhead displays and billboards, and from the little he had seen in the Empire, the convenience and presence of amenities he could find were not at all lacking compared to Earth.
Their toilets… their toilets were also very identical to Earth's!
It was insane!
'And then there's the people…' Looking around him, Rey observed his classmates with understandably suspicious eyes.
Despite what he knew about the horrors of Dragons, he found it difficult to reconcile the faces he was seeing to the evil warmongers he had experienced since arriving in this world.
'They feel too human.'
Other than their obvious features—horns, wings, tails, and scales on certain parts of their skin—which blended well with the other more humanoid parts—they could hardly be differentiated from humans.
Just like what he experienced on Earth, his classmates were a blend of various personalities.
The cool kids, the weird ones, the antisocial ones, the nice ones… they all existed here too.
'It's all weird. I wonder how Lucielle is taking all this…' Turning his head to his side, his eyes caught his partner, who was paying rapt attention to the lecture being taught.
'It looks like she's actually focusing on the topic. Based on how she's smiling, and that subtle shade of pink on her cheeks… she's enjoying herself, isn't she?'
Why was she more excited to be here than he was?
He couldn't understand.
'Then, there's the most problematic part of all this…' Rey finally addressed the elephant in the room as he shifted his gaze to another classmate of his.
This classmate had golden hair, with a perfect face and glowing golden eyes.
He was the epitome of perfection.
'... Adonis.'
Where could he begin when thinking about the long lost Hero?
'What has he been up to since he left? Did he come straight here after leaving? How did he even do it?'
Adonis' disguise was perfect, similar to Lucielle's, which meant he had to have used a similar Spell. That was amazing in its own right, but…
'... What is his motive?'
Rey knew he would have to confront all of these questions eventually, but at the moment he was just happy to see his friend again.
And… to see just how much he had grown.
'Your Status Window says it all, man. You've really grown stronger.'
