Troll in the Classroom

My submission for the "Monster's First Day at School" challenge for Sept 24, 2023. I've mostly depicted humans and fairies thus far in Elekia, but like many fantasy settings, there are plenty of other sentient races as well, such as dwarves, elves, orcs, trolls, goblins, gnolls, shifters, and plenty of "half-s" too. They all generally fall under the umbrella of "humanity" while also being distinct people just trying to live ordinary lives. They each have what's considered an ancestral homeland, but for the most part everyone is spread fairly evenly throughout Elekia's nations. Which brings us to our subject troll right now, his first day of college, looking terrified out of his mind. While modern day Elekia is certainly better than in the past, there's plenty of negative history to cover, and there's a lot of awkwardness when, say, a lone troll finds themselves among a room full of dwarves. Please enjoy this work!
