As all the students settled into their seats, Scarlett made her way to the front and joined Aoto.

"Hey! What were you talking to that girl for? You're already planning to get a girlfriend?" Aoto whispered.

"Shhh! It's not like that. It was my first time meeting an introvert, so I thought, why not try to be friends," Scarlett replied defensively.

"Huh? I don't believe you," Aoto muttered, skepticism evident in his tone.

Before their argument could escalate, the instructor, a mage from the royal capital named Zenith Frostfire, cleared his throat and began his lecture.

"Ahem, ahem... Good morning, students. I am Zenith Frostfire. I will be teaching you all magic, but before we delve into that, there are several important matters I'd like to discuss."

"For the first time, a slave is also being allowed to come to Hero Academy.Nobles and royalties often bring a few slaves or maids with them to help their household but this time this is different. Scarlett Nova will learn here with his master aoto Takahashi. She is just slave in name, she has the same rights as the other  students.

"Firstly, let us delve into history, for we have been graced by the presence of two heroes from another realm. They arrive as strangers, unfamiliar with our customs and past."

"It is imperative they acquaint themselves with our culture and history," he continued, his tone serious. "Our history is marred by the presence of the Demon King, known for their ruthlessness and desire for domination. They seek to enslave all species and revel in destruction."

"To thwart their ambitions, the Kingdoms of Darwitz and Alameda summon heroes from every century, bestowed with the blessings of our Goddess. For instance, Aoto Takahashi, the hero of Darwitz, is blessed by the Goddess of Beauty and Battle, while Chiyoko Hiiro, the hero of Almeida, bears the blessings of the Goddess of Love."

Zenith Frostfire's demeanor shifted as he addressed the somber truth. "But I am deeply ashamed to admit that despite the sacrifices of numerous heroes, only one Demon King has ever been defeated."

He continued, recounting the tale of the first summoned hero whose power rivaled that of a true dragon, there were some legends that says he was killed by an true dragon but we don't know what actually happened."

Interrupting the lecture, a curious student stood and inquired, "Sir, what exactly is a true dragon?"

"True dragons," Zenith explained, "are mythical beings existing beyond our comprehension.  a mythical creature of the 6th dimension, beyond the confines of physics and reality,  and the extent of their existence is shrouded in mystery. We cannot even fathom the total number of true dragons in the world."

Another question followed, "Then who is more powerful, our goddess or true dragons?"

Zenith's expression darkened as he replied, "The truth is, our goddess pales in comparison to them. True dragons are the gods of gods. Fortunately, they remain neutral in our conflicts, regarding us as insignificant beings, lesser even than bugs."

Scarlett's eyes widened in realization as if a puzzle piece had clicked into place. 'Ohhh! That's why when I first asked about true dragons, they gave me those death stares. They were surprised that an outsider knew about them.'

Zenith's revelation sent shockwaves through the classroom. "You'll be astonished to learn that 200 years ago, the mightiest hero of that time, Kael Bloodhound, and the 3rd Demon King, Asmodeus, joined forces to slay the twin true dragons."

The twin true dragon were only 200 year old, if we compare them to human age they should be around A child who has been born for 20 days,Yet, their demise remains one of the greatest feats in history."
