"So you're saying that for a monster girl being raped is no worse than being force-fed cod liver oil? That is<em>so</em>fucked up!!" He shook his head in disbelief. "As for what happened between you and your girl... well, as long as neither of you said 'No!' to the other, I don't have a problem with it."<br/><br/>When Jugo began his own explanation about the Academy and monster society in general Russell focused his attention on the tattooed youth. He'd been curious about monsters ever since Sashira had confirmed the existence of nonhumans, and any information he could learn about them would be interesting and useful. Some of the descriptions of the curses that the monster girls could inflict on him made the blue-eyed teen cringe but the mention of Jugo being a sorceror made Russell's eyebrows widen in surprise.<em>Okay, monsters are real and now I find out wizards are real. Guess I'm going to need to have a long hard think about what real <strong>is</strong>,</em>he mused silently. "So what's the goal of this place?" he finally asked the Japanese teen. "Are they trying to train monsters to get along well with humans, like mutants in Professor Xavier's school? Or are they just teaching more subtle hunting methods so there aren't enough corpses left lying around to start open hunting season?" Russell cocked his head to one side as he looked at Jugo, his expression openly curious as he waited for the answers to his questions.<br/><br/>Russell's relaxed and open expression froze as Sanosuke gave him a warning that basically amounted to 'Sit down, shut up and grow a brain.' While the wiry American knew he had plenty to learn about the new world in which he had found himself Sanosuke's condescending attitude made him want to snap back a snarky reply that probably wouldn't go down too well with the others. However before he could open his mouth to speak Sashira had jumped in, verbally tearing strips off Sanosuke. Russell's eyes widened in surprise at how quickly and vehemently the half-breed succubus had spoken up to defend him. When she'd finished speaking the blue-eyed youth reached over and took her hand in his own. "Thank you," he said softly, giving her hand a gentle squeeze and smiling at her. Right now, in this place so far from his home in more ways than one, Russell Davis definitely appreciated having a friend by his side.<br/><br/>It took Russell a moment to pull his attention away from Sashira when Anya began speaking to him. "I get it, I get it," he finally answered in an exasperated voice when she finished speaking. "Everyone here is either predator or prey, and males like me are prey. You're saying that every race of monsters here has its own set of morals, but they're all predator races so they could all get violent." His blue eyes held Anya's. "So basically any  idea of morality beyond 'don't get caught' gets flushed down the toilet, right?"
