We should rest more after that incident, but there’s school. I need to catch up on the two days I wasn’t there. At least, it wasn’t that much. The greatest problem was the verbal warning. It was just a verbal one, and I had an excuse, but it still was a warning. A written one would be extremely dangerous, you only get it once. Those guys at the first school day got one. These only get sent if the basic statues are breached. That I wasn’t showing up for two days without being sick caused a commotion in A-Class. Some said, that I never show up again, some others said that I had some problems at home to handle, which probably was closest to the truth, as I have 7 dragon cubs at the moment…

Then, at the second day I was back, there were even more problems. I met the eight dragon cub. In school. And the other seven were there too.

This dragon cub was pretty small. Its scales remind me of various metals, it’s eyes are grey like steel, as well as its claws, and its teeth are like polished pure tin. I think I’ll call him Chrysos.

But at first, I should take care of the problem, that they ARE IN SCHOOL! I should have thought more about the fact, that they want to follow me everywhere.

By the way, I’ve eaten about one tenth of the scales now, this is the result:

[DEF + 100%, 10 MP/sec]

[Opponent: All stats -10*LV% for 5 minutes]

[Able to understand and talk basic dragon language]

[Able to make dragon wings. Speed = 4*LV sprint speed. 20 MP/sec. Can change looks to your liking]

[Magic spit attacks cost = 1/LV]

[Transform nails to claws. ATK with these claws or swords: + 20*LV%]

[Able to make a dragon tail. Attacks with it or clubs: +20*LV%]

[Stamina and HP are raised by 20% per level]

They are probably self-explaining. And I could probably transform into a humanoid dragon.

But I still have to solve that problem, as I don’t know what could be happening.

(Lupin)

(Dragons)

While I was on my way to the classroom, I felt being darted by many envious glances. If looks could kill, I’d have died many times today. Then, as I opened the classroom, the dragon cubs entered before me.

(Lupin)

(Viria)

(Lupin)

(?) “Commoner, I’ll take those dragons. They’re mine now!”

Suddenly, a noble, who is in this class, talked up to me.

(Lupin) “Well, no.”

(?) “You dare to talk back?”

(Lupin) “This is the EAA, your influence has no grip here, not even if your father would be the principal. Get it? So shut up and cut the crap.”

(?) “But what if I’d handle that out of school?”

(Lupin) “So what? As far as I know, you were a S-purple, I am T-red. You could only win if you were able to use your magic more efficient than me or had more knowledge, but you are neither of them. If you send your daddy’s power, I’d ask the landlord for help. Do you get it now?

So, like I said, cut the crap, and shut up. You’d probably try to provoke me now to let me break the statutes of school to have a reason, but don’t even try to. It wouldn’t work.”

Then I went to my seat and sat down. While surrounded by seven dragons, Viria was with Claire. After waiting for some time, and eating a small dragon scale, the teacher entered the room.

(Teacher) “Hello every- WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?” *faints*

(Kinzoku) “Looks like thanks to Lupin we won’t have this lesson.”

(Lupin) “Shouldn’t we bring her to an infirmary?”

(Kinzoku) “Probably. Banging the head on the ground must’ve hurt. And we should report it.”

(Lupin) “Well, I’ll bring her there. Heave-ho! Oh right, where is the infirmary?”

(Kinzoku) “Oh, it is on the ground floor, just right the entrance. We are on the ground floor too, so there won’t be any stairs.”

(Lupin) “Thanks!”

After that, I brought the teacher to the infirmary, but the nurse was absent. Is there some important case?

*door opens*

(Nurse) “Ah, there is somebody in here already! So, what is it that troubles you?”

(Lupin) “Well, actually, it is not me who has the problem, but the teacher. She fainted shortly after entering the class. She fell backwards, but I don’t know what injuries she has sustained.”

(Nurse) “Do you know the reason why she fainted?”

(Lupin) “Basically, well, she saw my dragon cubs.”

(Nurse) “Quit joking. What is the reason?”

(Lupin)

*knock knock*

(Nurse) “Who could it be?”

[opens door, dragons cubs swarm in]

(Lupin) “So, what were you doing? Had some fun with Claire or what?”

(Nurse) “You mean, you weren’t joking? Come on, for real?”

(Lupin) “Yep.”

(Nurse) “Don’t just ‘Yep’ me! Anybody who would see this without knowing would faint!”

I know that dialogue from somewhere. At this point, Sakura interfered back then. What about this time?

*knock knock*

(Nurse) “And who is it this time…”

[Opens door, another dragon cub, as big as Caelus, enters and runs to Lupin]

(Nurse) “Say, how many of them do you have?”

(Lupin) “Eight… wait, this is a new one. Nine.”

This one reminds me of water. Her scales are blue, her wings, her head, everything is blue and clear, but different than the sky, and her eyes as deep as the ocean. But I don’t want to call her Aqua… How about Thalassa. Yep, that fits.

(?)

Awwww…. From the outside too, she beats all of the other cubs by a country mile in cuteness.

(Lupin)

(?)

(Lupin)

(Thalassa)

She is the first dragon cub who behaves like the age of a cub.

(Lupin)

(Sakura)

(Lupin)

(Nurse) “I won’t ask how she has found you. Well, I’ll report it to the principal, that a teacher fainted. Which class are you from?”

(Lupin) “A, class one.”

(Nurse) “Ok. Thanks for bringing her here.”

After that I got back into the classroom, and told them, what the nurse has said to me.

(Lupin) “So, we will probably have a substitute teacher.”

As I think about it, the school system here doesn’t seem to be medieval. In fact, it reminds me of my usual school life, although less strict.

(Claire) “Sometimes substitute teachers are mean. They give us homework even though we don’t have them as teachers!”

(Lupin) “I don’t know if he or she faints too. What should we do in that case then?”

(Kinzoku) “The same procedure.”

*door opens*

(Azusa) “I heard we got a class with a problem here?”

(Lupin) “Well, our teacher fainted.”

(Azusa) “And- oh.”

(Kinzoku) “What is it?”

(Azusa) “They’re so cuuuuute! Okay students, we have a special school subject from now on!”

(Lupin) “Eh?”

(Azusa) “Everybody of you has to get their own pet!”

(Lupin) “That’s a difficult decision. What should I get as a pet?”

(Azusa) “Uhm. Lupin. You’ve got nine pets and ask yourself such a question?”

(Lupin) “That’s just because they’re no pets.”

(Azusa) “What else?”

*knock, knock*

(Lupin) “Let me guess. There’s a dragon cub standing in front of the door?”

[door opens, Azusa sees dragon cub,]

(Azusa) “How many more do you have Lupin”

(Lupin) “None, at the moment.”

(Lupin)

(Caelum)

(Sakura)

(Lupin)

This time, we got a rather simple dragon. Her scales are sapphire blue, the eyes like an emerald, and the teeth like ivory. The spikes at the back are like amethyst, and the claws like diamond, while the spaces between the scales are golden. I’d call her Akemi.

[Akemi walks slowly towards Lupin]

(Lupin)

(Caelum)

(Akemi)

So, altogether, 19 at the moment. What will they do? Will they put me under surveillance? Do they want to take away the dragons? Or do they kick me from school? Do they simply do nothing?

(Lupin) “So, what next?”

(Azusa) “Well, you all should get a pet. Including you, Lupin, if you don’t think of them as a pet.”

Four years ago, I would’ve taken Lenius with me. But now, what should I do? Uhm… I have found this salamander earlier, right?

Nah, that’s not a good idea.

(Lupin)

(Caelum)

(Akemi)

(Lupin)

I still got no idea after going home…
