We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

Moreover, compared to those dragon-slaying families that start training from a young age, Chihaya Aine's start was actually quite late.

Although the presence of dragon blood within her allows her to learn skills much faster than ordinary people, it's best to start learning them earlier so that her future potential will be even greater.

"Registering and course selection tomorrow... I need to sleep."

Chihaya Aine yawned.

She said goodnight to her parents and then went back to her room.

…………

…………

Since returning from England, the nights have been passing by very quickly for some reason.

Chihaya Aine felt like she hadn't slept for long, but when she woke up and reached for her phone by the bedside, she found it was already 9:00 AM.

"Huh? It's so late!!!"

"Luckily, I had asked the school for leave."

Thinking of this, she changed to a more comfortable position and lay down again.

Previously, she and her parents had planned to travel around the UK for a few days after her interview at Cardiff Secondary School.

However, due to the unexpected fire, the trip was cancelled, and the traveler returned to Japan ahead of schedule.

The problem is that her parents had already asked the school teachers for several days off.

Chihaya Aine naturally wouldn't give up this rare vacation, so she chose to rest at home for a few days, preparing to return to school after the vacation she had originally requested ended.

"Hmm... the time agreed upon in the email is in an hour and a half, no rush."

Chihaya Aine set an alarm, then turned over in bed.

……

Chihaya Aine felt that the perception of time was really subtle. Sometimes she would wake up and find that she had slept for an hour, but it felt like only a minute had passed.

However, when doing something particularly difficult, a minute can feel like an eternity.

"It's time."

After tidying up a bit, Chihaya Aine opened her laptop, logged into the website provided by Cardiff High School, and simultaneously entered the school's internal conference room.

As she logged in, the number of people in the meeting room jumped from "2" to "3", and all the IDs were real names:

【Chihaya Aine】

【Wine Deya Chronicle】

Margaret Davis

Professor Davis's voice rang out, and at the same time, her video feed appeared:

"Welcome to Cardiff High School, Ai Yin."

Her words were automatically translated into Japanese and appeared at the bottom of Chihaya Aine's screen using the conference room's automated translation system.

"Before today's orientation, we need to confirm a few more things."

"Please turn on your camera."

"Good professor."

Chihaya Aine obediently did as she was told.

The next moment, her face was revealed in the conference room, and to ease the awkwardness, Chihaya Aine even gave a smile.

at this time,

The number of people in the conference room changed again, from "3" to "4" in an instant, and at the same time, a calm female voice rang out:

[Enter verification mode]

Chihaya Aine was a little confused. She glanced at the ID of the new member who had just joined the meeting room and noticed that her name was [Norma].

"Aiyin, we need to confirm one more time: do you voluntarily join Cardiff High School and accept the subsequent training agreement?"

Professor Davis sounded somewhat nervous.

"If I disagree, I have to undergo memory erasure... Do I even have the option to disagree...?"

Chihaya Aine thought to herself, and then she spoke:

"I agree."

These three words seemed to carry a tremendous weight, and Chihaya Aion enunciated each syllable clearly, making her speech much slower than usual.

[Verification successful, option enabled]

【Chihaya Aine, born September 8th, female】

[ID AC0001, Class 'A', listed in the Kassel College register]

Database access permissions enabled, account activated, course selection form pending generation, please select later.

【I'm Norma, secretary at Kassel College. It's a pleasure to assist you.】

"This is Aine, the intelligent secretary of Kassel College. You can ask Norma any questions you may have in the future, and she will give you a satisfactory answer."

Professor Davis's voice came again, this time with a clear hint of excitement:

"Aiyin, next is course selection."

"Students in the preparatory program need to study some university courses in advance so that they can better determine their future major."

"Because of your special word power, I specially applied for some advanced courses that only students about to enroll in Kassel College can choose. That's why we're giving you a special course selection guide."

She tapped twice, and a series of course catalogs appeared on the conference room screen:

Dragon Genealogy, Dragons and Words of Power, The Key of Solomon, The Theory of Dragon Bloodlines, Dragon Genetics...

The courses were so numerous and complex that Chihaya Aine was completely overwhelmed.

"Thank you... thank you, Professor."

Chihaya Aine looked at the course list, which looked like something out of a game, and she could hardly speak.

"Seeing these classes makes me want to study math."

This thought suddenly occurred to her.

Professor Davis, unaware of Chihaya Aine's inner thoughts, continued speaking:

"Based on previous experience, with the talent of an A-grade hybrid, the learning progress can be slightly faster."

"For the first semester of the preparatory course, I recommend that you choose 'Introduction to Dragon Family Genealogy', 'Understanding and Gradual Application of Words of Power', and 'Introduction to Alchemy Chemistry' as your major courses."

"As for physical education classes, you and Aki are both from Japan... Aki, do you have any recommended classes?"

Shudeya said:

"Let's choose Kendo. To counter Aine's Word of Power, we should also choose Shooting."

"Okay, that's settled."

???

!!!

Chihaya Aine gently opened her mouth:

No, is this really me selecting courses?

Moreover, these courses sound impressive and awe-inspiring just by listening to them.

Physical education classes are even more problematic. Shouldn't top British schools teach sports like equestrianism and golf?

Kendo and shooting? That's incredibly practical.

At this point, Professor Davis switched the interface to a photo labeled 'Foreign Language':

"For foreign languages, choose 'Chinese'. Japanese and Chinese have a deep connection, so it should be a little easier for you to learn."

"That adds up to twelve credits in your first year of preparatory school."

Even among first-year students at Kassel College, this is a choice made by only the more outstanding students.

"However, I believe this will not be a problem for you."

"As for foreign languages... do I only need to learn Chinese?"

Chihaya Aine asked:

"Cardiff School is in the UK, but my English isn't very fluent yet, and I feel that daily life might be a bit inconvenient."

Professor Davis paused:

"Don't worry, although Cardiff School is located in the UK, the main language of communication in regular classes is English."

"But in the preparatory class at Kassel College where you will be enrolling, the main language of daily communication is actually Chinese."

"Chinese?"

Chihaya Aine thought to herself, "This time I've really gone to a lousy school for studying abroad. It's a school in England where they speak Chinese every day."

Professor Davis calmly explained:

"The reason is simple. According to our predictions, the four monarchs will fully recover in the near future, and the location where they awaken is currently confirmed to be basically in Tokyo."

"In order to complete the task of slaying the dragon, all students at Kassel College must learn Chinese."

"Of course, if the four monarchs are revived in Japan, then what they need to learn is Japanese."

"Learning a language is merely a means to accomplish a task."

A golden glint flashed in her eyes.

"You must understand, Kassel College carries the legacy of countless dragon-slaying families, and our ultimate purpose in compiling and organizing these subjects and courses is to—"

—Slay the dragon!

"This is the best of times; the king of the earth and mountains, the king of the sea and water, the king of bronze and fire, and the king of the sky and wind will all be revived in this era."

"We also have the opportunity to put an end to the millennia-long feud between dragons and humans."

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from her, and her fierce fighting spirit could be felt even through the screen.

Chihaya Aine was stunned. She thought to herself, "Professor, you look like an office worker, so why do you sound so menacing when you say these things?"

But she nodded nonetheless, as a sign of her respect for Professor Davis’s dedication.

After a while, with Professor Davis's recommendation, Chihaya Aine finally completed her course selection for the first year of the preparatory course.

She was lucky enough to be assigned a double room in the dormitory, but she still doesn't know who her roommate is.

"Aiyin, that concludes today's meeting."

"Shudeyaji smiled."

"Goodbye, Professor. Goodbye, Aki-senpai."

Chihaya Aine waved at the screen.

She breathed a sigh of relief when the meeting room display showed "end".

"It's finally over..."

Chihaya Aine was about to go out to buy some food.

Just now, during her conversation in the conference room, the global network system of mixed-race individuals experienced a shock.

After the Norma check is completed, a large number of data packets are reassembled and combined, and then transmitted to every corner of the world's Internet.

On a secret website that many people will never be able to access in their entire lives, the name "Chihaya Aine" has been granted access.

From then on, she had the right to know more of the truth than ordinary people.

The entire Kassel College extended an extremely warm embrace to this new student who was about to enroll in the preparatory program!

And on the other side,

Moon Forest

Nanon Ugetsu is preparing for the morning and afternoon classes.

After arriving at Tsuki no Mori with Toyokawa Shoko today, he suddenly remembered that he had planned to bring a few more new books to school yesterday, but he forgot about it when he left home this morning.
