The dragon's harem

^This'll be a good year.^ The director smiled, staring through her window at the lined students. ^To think that Prince Tempo would choose our school. His presence has led many nobles to sign up their children in the hope of building connections. Triple the amount this year,^

Her eyes panned across the students, finally stopping at a strange sight. A massive muscular man standing tall above all other students, playing with a doll in bright daylight.

"Who's this big baby?" She mumbled, but the image of Alcott quickly crossed her head. "He looks like that bastard. Even that massive build."

She lifted her hand, making a hole with her fingers and looking toward Arad, "Who are you?"

As she focused, Arad turned his head and glared back at her.

She jumped, instantly releasing her spell with sweat rushing down her spine. "Did he notice me? This place is protected by a barrier. How?" She looked through the window, seeing Arad waving his hand to her.

^He noticed me! What kind of senses does he have?!^

She then quietly stared from the corner of the window, looking behind Arad only to see Gojo staring her dead in the eyes and smiling. She quickly hid inside, "What's up with those two? How can they look straight through my barrier?!"

****

In the lines of students, a girl looked at Arad's shoulder as he toured over everyone else. "Heee?!" She gasped, noticing that the suit Arad wore barely fit over his wide back. With each breath, The stitches on it looked as if they could start crying at any moment.

"But..." She mumbled with a disappointed face, seeing him hold a tiny doll in his arm like a cat. "Why bring a doll here? No, why is a grown man like him still playing with dolls? Keep it in your dorm." She poked her friend.

"Keep quiet. You don't know him." The other girl replied, "Look at those arms. I bet he can strangle a bear if he wants. A gentle giant could be cute."

"Speaking of giants, do you think he has some of their blood? He's so huge,"

"Probably, no pure human can grow like that."

****

"Those bitches..." Aisha growled, "I'll go punch them..."

"Shhh! Calm down, let them be," Arad whispered as he held her in place. "Focus, I need you for the written exam."

"Cheater,"

"I don't intend on wasting my time learning history or poetry. I want to focus on other subjects," Arad shifted his eyes, staring at her, "I'm not stopping,"

"Cheater anyway," She sighed, "But I guess dragons work like this. Your kind only cares about the results, nothing else."

****

"Is he talking with his doll?" The girl from earlier gasped, noticing Arad looking at Aisha.

"Really? Creepy. But he might be a golem mage. They train on dolls," Her friend replied.

"You're defending him too much. Are you in love?"

"Choke me, Daddy!"

"Shut up!" She punched her.

"You'll die, such a thin neck." A voice came from behind the two girls. As they turned, they felt their knees grow weaker. Those two sapphire blue eyes stared at them with a pristine glimmer. A hair so white, it almost reflected the sunlight.

Gojo extended his hand toward her face, pointing at her eyes with two fingers. "I sense a spark of magic inside you. It'll be a shame for you to die before it blooms. A waste of such beauty,"

Gojo's void eyes are far more developed than those of Arad. He could see the faintest details of someone's magic. A spark of cubus magic burns in the girl's blood. It's faint, most likely she's a carrier, and one of her descendants could awaken the power, but it isn't out of the question for her to awaken it.

Tap! Another hand landed on Gojo's wrist, and the two girls fell on their butts. "Come on, are you bullying them? The school year didn't even start," Jack stared at Gojo with a smile.

"They smelled nice. Couldn't help myself." Gojo replied with a smile.

^Another white-haired handsome!^ The two girls gasped. ^But this one has grey eyes!^

Jack turned toward them, bending downward and extending his hands for them. "M'ladies," Gently grabbing their palms. He helped them stand.

"Please accept my deepest apologies if this idiot bothered you," He bent forward and gently kissed their hands.

"P-Please excuse us!" The two girls bolted away, burning red.

"You're one slimy bastard," Gojo looked at Jack.

BLAH! Jack opened his mouth, extending his tongue forward, revealing two gold rings. "I can tell by taste. Those are fake rings." He took the rings out of his mouth and stared at them, disappointed.

"Gold doesn't have a taste, so if it did, that means it's fake," Gojo added.

"And they are too light," Jack scratched his head. "I thought those two girls would have something valuable, but they might be of a lower-ranked noble family. I'll go return those."

"Wait, how did you do it?" Gojo asked.

"The kiss, they get distracted. And now I only have to get a touch on them and slip those rings into their pocket. They find them later and get confused a bit, but it's something humans quickly forget." Jack replied before rushing to catch the girls.

"ARON!" A loud voice boomed across the students, and they started moving out of the way. A young man with flame-like red hair and orange hair walked toward Arad and Gojo, emitting enough magic to scare all the students away.

All the students started sweating from the heat released by the young man standing less than six feet tall. He was around 5'10 or 1.78 meters. No one could miss it. He could kill everyone, and they knew it. This wasn't the magic released by someone normal. He even held a sword at his waist brazenly, even though it was against the university's rules.

"Tone the magic down. You're scaring them." Gojo said as Tempo approached them.

"Sorry, I was excited to see you two!" He laughed loudly, his magic fading away. "Good morning, Jogo, Aron." He bowed.

All the students gasped. They knew who Tempo was. In fact, his presence was the talk of the year. The first prince of the volcanic titans is coming to study in a humanoid university. He proudly announced that his goal was to smoothen diplomatic relationships between the Titans and humanoids.

Who could those two be for the prince of such a powerful race to bow to them? Unlike him, those two barely emitted any magic of note. The white-haired one was a bit above average, and the large one was pathetic at best.

"Don't bow to us," Arad looked at Tempo, "That'll cause us trouble, and you're already too short. Why did you even pick this body?"

"I'm causing trouble? Sorry!" He bowed again.

"Don't bow, look behind you. Everyone is confused." Gojo pointed out, "Explain yourself."

"AH! Those are Aron and Jogo, sons of an old friend of a titan I knew!" He shouted, "I respect those who respect the Titans. If you dared use them to get on me, I'll cut you down on the spot!" His magic spiked again as he declared that those two couldn't be used against him.

"Calm the magic down," Gojo sighed.

"And, before I forgot!" Tempo shouted, turning toward Arad. "Aron! You asked why I chose this body?! Of course, I asked the wizard to get me a body that's the average human of the local area. He seemed to have one!"

"What is it even?" Arad poked Tempo's forehead, gently pushing his head back.

"A flesh golem. Some even call it blood clones. It takes years to make one, but they are useful! We'll study about them in one of the classes!" Even in a human body, Tempo's voice was still loud.

He then started looking around, "Where are the other two? The criminals!"

"Don't call them criminals," Arad looked at Tempo from the side while patting Aisha.

"Jack is over there." Gojo pointed.

"He lacks mana, hard to detect!" Tempo aggressively nodded.

"And Abel should be behind the school with a girl he picked up," Arad pointed.

Tempo turned his head toward the school, scanning for Abel's location. "He has three, not one! I should congratulate him later!" Tempo nodded.

"Yeah...now that you mentioned it. Two seem to have popped out since last I sensed him. The devil." Arad blinked, "Don't congratulate him."

"Is that how humans work?! Marriage is a misconception!" Tempo pulled out a notebook and started documenting the case.

"No, they aren't!" Gojo growled.

"And, don't put Abel in the same basket!" Arad added.

Tempo blinked, staring back at the school with a second scan for Abel. This time he could feel nothing, it's likely that Abel noticed and is actively hiding his and the girls' magic.

"You're right!" Tempo shouted as he started laughing, he just remembered that Abel is a devil and not a human.

****

"Don't they know how to stay silent?" Aella stared at Arad and the boys.

"I doubt it," Merida added.

"It's Tempo's fault, I assure you." Mira sighed.

"And we've told him to not approach us in public like this," Sena scratched her head, "The plans need to change."

"Lady Sena," Selica looked at her, "What part of the plan is changing?"

"Don't know yet," Sena shook her head.

"But those are useful," Aella stared at the second ring in her hand, "We can relax as long as we have those." Magic sealing rings, as long as they wore them they would look like normal people with a weak mana output while also being able to draw their whole power instantly.

She looked toward Arad, seeing the students laughing and talking around Arad, oblivious to the monster standing between them. They all would shit themselves if Arad unleashed his power, the presence of a monster of his caliber would send everyone into a frenzy of terror and panic.

"The tests are about to start," Eris said, cracking her neck.
