In the first episode of "Dragon Raja," the protagonist Lu Mingfei returns from an unknown place and encounters confusion and mistaken identity at the airport. He is mistaken for a homeless person because he inquires about a non-existent train on the CC line and has no money.

Mingfei follows directions to Cassel College and searches for the CC line, only to realize that no one else seems aware of its existence. During his search, he meets Finger von Frings, a student who claims to be from Cassel College and attempts to scam money from Mingfei under false pretenses.

As their conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that the CC line does indeed exist, but it is shrouded in secrecy and accessible only to those with sufficient credentials—like Mingfei, who turns out to be a new, high-ranking student at Cassel College. Mingfei experiences a series of surreal encounters, including a dream he believes to be just a dream, in which he hears ominous prophetic messages from Mingze about a past that will haunt the unwary.

Eventually, Mingfei boards the elusive CC line, where he is officially welcomed by Cassel College staff. He meets Professor Guderian, who introduces him to the school’s unorthodox curriculum centered around dragons.

Guderian explains that dragons have played a significant role throughout history and that the school prepares its students to fight them.

The episode concludes with Guderian showing Mingfei evidence of dragons’ existence, including a dragon scale and a dormant dragon embryo that unexpectedly awakens, underscoring the reality and mystery of these creatures. This event deeply unsettles Mingfei and calls his perception of reality into question.
