Lily took the scenic route to the school, meaning she walked there instead of taking the bus. She immediately decided on the former once she saw how crowded the bus was. She couldn't imagine her just sitting there for god knows how long with those people. Not that she was against them or anything. It's just that she hated being bunched up with people, with no fresh air to breathe.

And so she climbed the hill. Thankfully, her dragon strength made her not tired at all as she pulled her wheeled suitcase, so she could enjoy the gorgeous view and the fresh breeze straight from the ocean. The heat was also merely warm for her, even though she wore an elaborate dress. Without her fire resistance, she would have sweated like a pig underneath that clothing of hers.

Her walk, however, wasn't entirely alone, as there were others who chose the same route as she did. And most of them were panting and sweating as they walked uphill. 

She felt a litle pity for them. To be born not as a dragon.


"So, this is the place..." Lily said as she stood in front of the school gates. It was just as luxurious as she was told. Her parents had indeed sent her to the best school you can have in the entire nation.

She then saw a bunch of people wearing what seemed to be similar clothing. She had heard of this before. They were called school uniforms. The school itself no longer required its students to wear one, but some still chose to wear them nonetheless. 

And she could understand why. She thought the outfit looked quite interesting. Perhaps she would purchase one just to wear in a whim.

She first headed to her designated room in the dormitories. Once again, she was impressed with how lavish everything was. The dormitories looked more like a five-star hotel instead of a school dormitory. The room she received was wide and spacey, it was more like a house than a room, seeing how she got a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom complete with a wide bathtub, and even a balcony since her room was located on the upper floors. She put her suitcase inside and then immediately headed to the auditorium.

When she arrived in the auditorium, it was already mostly filled with the new students. She saw some snacks being provided in the standing tables. However, she was not particularly hungry so she ignored them. She took her seat in the back, sitting calmly as she waited for the event to begin. Luckily, it began right away or else she might have gotten bored. And her dragon nature would just make her leave the room without giving a care that she might have just broke a school regulation.

As the lights dimmed, a girl walked onto the podium in front of the room. Her face looked confident as she radiated her bright smile to the entire room. However, that confidence was soon ruined with her fiddling around her pockets and with the paper she took from them. Perhaps there was an unexpected mishap, Lily thought.

After her short speech, clearly improvised on the spot, Lily rose up. She thought she would walk around for a while in this party. If nothing interested her, she would just leave and walk around the school instead.
