Sashira had told him that the Academy was home to a large number of monster girls as well as humans and Russell's own eyes had confirmed that statement, even if his mind was still coming to terms with the implications. But what stood at the entrance was beyond what the succubus had hinted. Covered with bronze scales, with a pair of great wings emerging from its shoulderblades, there was only one word to describe the creature in question.<br/><br/><em>Dragon. There's an honest-to-God <strong>dragon</strong> standing at the front gate of this school!</em><br/><br/>For a long moment Russell simply stood staring at the great creature, trying to commit the sight of it to his memory. Deep down he knew that it wasn't some animatronic creation put together as some sort of stunt. No, this was the real thing. And then there was another one dropping from the sky, nearly twice the size of the first one for a few seconds before its form blurred and shifted into that of a human male.<em>Okay, that's about as much confirmation of the old stories of shapeshifting dragons as I'm going to get,</em>the young man thought dazedly as he watched a girl with butterfly wings run out of the main building to greet the transformed dragon, and the pair then made their way into the Academy's grounds.<br/><br/>Russell's first impulse was to run to join the people standing at the entrance to the Academy and ask about the huge dragons that had arrived so recently, but a quick glance at his watch confirmed that the time for the orientation briefing was approaching fast. Looking around the front courtyard revealed a number of people heading towards a doorway into the main building, so the dark-haired youth shrugged his shoulders and followed them.<br/><br/>He was met by a mixture of wonderful aromas as he walked through the door. Some of them he remembered from his youth in America, while of others were familiar from his time in Japan. However a few of the scents were of dishes that Russell didn't recognise, but that didn't keep them from smelling tempting as tempting as beef barbecue or miso soup.<em>If this is the school cafeteria then it's the best one I've ever encountered,</em>the American mused as he took a seat and waited for someone to speak up about the orientation tour.<br/>
