Graduating a top middle school with high marks in almost every subject, skilled enough to live on his own and fight for himself, and is invited to a government constructed school with a private campus, no eyes of any sort, not even the media has a lead on the place.
Yet I walk into my classroom for the year, sit down waiting for class to begin, then blink to see a scale faced dragon breathing in our faces.
"... Did I nod off in school again? Sure I understand it's my first day and all but what a weird dream."
hmmm? classmates 1-9 present, all looking at a giant beast that is looking back at us.
"How did I even remember my classmate's faces? As well as there bodies, heights, eye color, and stature? did I lace my own cereal without knowing it?"
Standing up and realizing that everyone is looking at me. Then looking back at the dragon readying its mouth sparking with flames.

"Wow, I can even feel the heat, such a very lucid dream. I wonder if I can make things appear and disappear?"
it's a dream so maybe I can? what is I put my hands like I'm holding a handle?
"System active... request denied, insufficient materials"
guess not then "insufficient materials" so do I have to get materials?
"Affirmative, if not construction will not commence. The current status is a danger energy absorption active, please put out your left hand"
Okay, looks like this dream isn't following my instructions, what if I follow it?
throwing my arm up to the mouth of the dragon.
"Absorption???"
GOD WHY DID I PRONOUNCE IT-
Flames barreling toward my hand, sharp and very unpleasant pain started up.
HOLY SHIT THIS IS ACTUALLY HURTING ME!
"Damage report 10% of flesh on the left hand has been destroyed, request to fix with systems help?"
YES! PLEASE ID RATHER BE ABLE TO USE MY HAND!
"Understood active repair commenting"
Then blue light appeared on my hand and the pain went away, but that's the least of my worries. This isn't a dream, I realize that now. What I do realize is that I and my classmates aren't sitting in front of our teacher, we are sitting in front of a random confusing dragon!
