'As if we have a choice after you brought us all the way here...' thought nearly all of them, but left it at the ends of their heads. They all nodded at Kamra's question, then walked behind them as the two showed the way. They walked down an unusually high corridor, with some giant doors here and there. Those doors had numbers on them like "1-g, 1-k," representing the class's name.

"Usually, the lessons are made for every class independently, but now that we have some visitors, we will have a lesson of all classes mixed together. That's why it will take place in the 2nd biggest room in the school, the presentations room. The biggest one is for PE, but it won't be comfortable enough there." said Uvril while walking in the front.

"All students will be present, without exceptions?" asked Kamra, a bit shocked by the news. Uvril just chuckled happily, not revealing anything as they reached their final destination. She opened the door and went in, but when the others were about to enter, Kamra stopped them for a couple words.

"No matter what you see in there, if you dare at least stare in a wrong way at anyone of the children, I promise I'll make you beg you weren't born!" Kamra threatened them, while her eyes flashed with a powerful and dangerous blood-red glow. This intimidated them, making shivers run down their spine. All of them gulped at the same time, then nodded slowly, showing that they understood the message. She went in first, then waited for them to follow.

'Is she really a human, or a devil's reincarnation...' thought Ecna, but still followed without further questions. 'Her aura was so eerie and intimidating... How many enemies did she kill to have such an aura?'

As they entered, they could see several monster children seated either on chairs, if they were able to, or on the floor if they were too big. There were hundreds of goblins, kobolds and orcs, a couple yetis, as most of the yetis' children were too young, several ogres and trolls which were too big to stay on a chair and were already two meters high being children, the nagas and lizardfolk were also the minority, as they were the newly subdued races. The nagas had a human's upper body, just with two pairs of hands, and a serpent's lower body. They had a forked tongue and fangs, similar to a serpent's, and were all covered in scales. They were the height of 2-2.5 meters, a bit higher than an a.d.u.l.t human.

The lizardfolk were semi-aquatic reptilian humanoids. Their skin was covered in scales and varied in color from dark green to shades of brown and gray. Taller than humans and powerfully built, lizardfolk were often between 1.8–2.1 meters tall, had non-prehensile muscular tails that they used for balance, and they also had sharp claws and teeth.

Seeing all those monster races shocked the whole group. Especially the ogres and trolls, as they were one of the usually met powerful foes, so they instinctively wanted to use their weapons, but still stopped after remembering Kamra's glare and warning. After looking absentmindedly around the classroom for nearly three minutes, Kamra signaled them to follow her. They started to walk slowly behind her, with their vigilance getting lower and lower by the second.

"They are just kids, so no need to look at them like that. Plus to this, they are future subordinates of Queen Emily, and your future comrades in a way. You better get used to them, because soon the whole Amare Kingdom will be populated by them, and you, humans." she continued while showing them the way towards their seats.

'There are so many races already, and I'm pretty sure there would a lot more to come. It's unbelievable how the queen managed to subdue this kind of monsters, savage and cruel by nature. Maybe we should really change our way of seeing them, and think of them as equals, instead of considering them as ferocious beasts...' thought Ecna, while taking her seat. She wasn't the only one thinking this way, as several other subordinates of her had the same thoughts. One major factor for this was that Emily issued the law of monsters' rights, and even though it wasn't warmly welcomed by all the population, they accepted it after all the improvements Emily had brought to their lives.

"Allright! Now that our guests are finally here, let's all together greet them, then start the lesson." said Uvril, stepping forward. Then, all the children and teachers shouted together:

"Welcome to the school of Cavetown! We hope the time spent here would forever remain in your wonderful memories!" they said in chorus. It was a sight to behold, as every race had its own distinct characters. The ogres and trolls both had powerful shouts, though the trolls had a slightly higher tone. The goblins, kobolds, orcs and lizard-folk had pretty much similar characteristics to the human children's voice, with some mistakes in pronunciation here and there. The nagas had a slightly long "s" accent, but their speech was still understandable.

All of them had their own charm. The goblins became more beautiful and handsome with every generation, their savage nature disappearing. The kobold and lizard-folk children looked cute, making you want to pet them and hold as pets. The orcs, ogres and trolls exuded power far mightier than their age, even though they were just children. The nagas were adorable, having a charm in the cold aura around them. Their boys were handsome, while the girls were certainly rare beauties, even though their entire body was covered in greenish/bluish scales. In response to that, Kamra stood up, as well as all her group's members, then Ecna's group followed.

"We're glad to visit all of you here today, where you, the next generations and future of our whole races, are taught to become responsible a.d.u.l.ts and aides for our Queen Emily. She's the only one who fights for our rights and freedom in this world and even made this safe corner of heaven for us to live in until the world will acknowledge us." Kamra said, inspiring all the children and teachers, even Ecna's group. An unexplainable smile was pestered on her face as she talked about her idol, master, queen and hero. Well, not only hers, as everyone there considered Emily as such, a great woman with the power to change the lives of entire races, kingdoms, even continents.
