I guess this is it. Reijin thought as she watched the academy come into view from the car window. She could see students here and there, some talking amongst themselves and staying in groups while others were walking alone. She did not yet see anyone in their animal forms, but she figured that she would see some soon enough. She kept watching from her window while the car pulled up. The buildings seemed so large, and there were so many people. Reijin bit her lip nervously. What if she was rejected for not knowing how to fight? What would happen when she entered the sparring grounds for the first time? She didn't want to think about it, but she couldn't help but wonder.

"Will you be alright by yourself, Reijin?" A voice resounded as her brother's head poked out from behind the driver's seat.

"I'll be fine, Kazuo. You don't need to protect me anymore. I can do this." She replied, determined to show her older brother that she was ready to take this first step alone, without help. She knew her brother meant well, and she could see that concerned look in his eyes as his gaze locked onto her own. Kazuo had been her protector long enough, and she wanted him to understand that she could handle it now. Even still, she was unsure. Would she be okay on her own? Could she face this new chapter of her life with the same iron will she saw in her brother?

"Very well. If you need me, just give me a call, alright?" Kazuo answered. Nodding her head in acknowledgement, Reijin opened the car door and stepped out.

The breeze ruffled her short hair as she looked around. It was a beautiful place, and the air was nice and clear, perfect for flight. The calming sound of rustling trees reached her ears, and she let out a sigh. If only she could shift here. However, she didn't know the rules, and she didn't want to shift in front of others. Besides, she didn't see anyone shift, so she assumed that it wasn't allowed in this area.

She stared at the landscape for a few minutes before she realized that she had to get to her dorm. Picking up her bags, she walked along the path to the building she recognized as the girl's dorm. It was all so new, and she was still trying to get accustomed to it. She was hopeful that she would come out of this a promising fighter, a warring dragon who would bring honor to her family. This was the hope she clung to, and she did not want to let it go. Entering the dorm building, she searched for her own dorm. She had been given a number, but she was unsure of where to go. Finally, after walking down a few hallways, she found the dorm with her number on it. Opening the door, she entered.

The room was more on the smaller side, but Reijin didn't mind. She placed her bags on the ground and started unpacking, putting things in their proper places. It didn't take long for her to unpack completely, and after some time she had everything settled. Looking around in satisfaction, she felt content with the room's appearance. Putting the empty bags away, she sat on the bed, trying to figure out what to do next. Perhaps she could find something to eat? The idea sounded good to her, and she got up. Exiting the dorm, she made sure to secure it before walking outside.

As before, the breeze was still blowing, causing her dragon instincts to kick in. How she wanted to fly! But she had to find something to eat, so she set her sights on what she guessed was some sort of cafeteria. It wasn't long before she reached it and walked in. It was certainly bigger, and much roomier. It also had a lot more people. Quickly making her way over to the food, she put a few things, mostly meat, on her plate. When her plate was full, she made her way to a vacant table and sat down. As she took her seat, she noticed two people by a different table. They were by...a racoon? Was it someone in their animal form? She wasn't sure, but it was the only one in the cafeteria that was not in human form.

Reijin was still watching the raccoon, wondering if it was a fellow shifter.. After all, this was a shifter school. The person by the raccoon certainly seemed to talk to it as if it were one. Suddenly, she realized that the person who had talked to it was now looking right at her. Oh no! Did he notice me staring? She desperately hoped he was simply looking in her direction, but no. He waved to her, and she could hear him ask if he could help her. The raccoon, too, stopped to look at her. This flustered her, and she tried to remain calm. Remember what I told Kazuo. I can do this now.

Gazing back at the two, she shook her head quickly and said, "No, but I appreciate the offer. I was just wondering if your little friend was a shifter. I'm new here, so I don't know a lot of people." She studied them with a careful gaze. The one who had addressed her seemed powerful enough, although if he was kind enough to offer her help, he would probably not cause any trouble for her. The other next to him, with red toned hair, had said nothing since she had taken her seat. He didn't seem to be focused on her though, which she was glad about. However, she couldn't completely ignore him, since she did not know enough about him to be certain that he would not bother her.
