《Chronicles of The Dragon Empire: Rise of the Dragon King (Rewritten)》 arc 1, Before The Summon: Escaping (author''s corner): many, many thanks to MaddnessKing for making the prooreading of this chapter! Really, many thanks! :boworpushups: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Around 60 Years ago (Markus Ikovich''s POV) Journal Log, number 1902 Today one of my excavation sites had found something strange, a fossil of some sorts. So, today, i am going to the USA to see what was found there. Journal Log, number 1903 Well, that was unexpected, we found some kind of skeleton in the middle of the Mojave desert. It''s big, bigger than most of the fossils. Being a genetic engineer i don''t care if it is a rare or never seen before dinosaur, the only thing that thrills me here is its DNA. I can''t wait to do some tests with it, as i am the greatest name in genetics in the whole world, maybe in all mankind. The curious thing is it''s format, it doesn''t seem like a reptile, because it''s legs are under the body and it''s spine follows the same format as the mammals. But things only get more strange, i thought that i found some kind of ancestor of the mammals, because we were able to retrieve it''s torso and legs. But then we found it''s head, on the tip of an absurd long neck. Also, we found a tail, but the real deal were it''s wings. When i saw it''s skeleton fully assembled, it looked like those legends of european dragons. Another characteristic was its color, it was fully black. Very strange indeed... i will take it to my personal base in Siberia to run some tests. Journal Log, number 1904 I can''t believe I was able to get a sample out of these bones, they were so hard that i almost gave up. But now, I only have one sample, and i have to decide what to do with it. After some time analyzing it, I discovered that it didn''t match with anything on earth that we found before, and it''s even older than the dinosaurs. It''s just amazing! I need to find a test subject to use this sample on! But using it requires a very specific genetic combination, that is very, very rare and I probably won''t find it in my lifetime, so i will request help from Russia''s government, if we succeed in finding something with this combination and fuse it with the "dragon" sample, we will be able to create something unique and valuable. Journal Log, number 1924 Well, after five years we finally found my perfect test subject. It''s a newborn child, a boy. We "silenced" his family, erased all kinds of information about him and his family, and then we took the boy. After some tests, he was compatible with the DNA from the fossil, then we fused it with him. The results were incredible! First, his regeneration rate raised dramatically, being able to heal from small cuts in less than one second to big wounds in some seconds. Also, his physical strength improved, even as a newborn, he is strong as a human adult. But we have a problem, his body is not completely fused with the DNA, so his capabilities are limited. After some tests, we noticed that strong emotions, like happiness, fear, pain, anger, hunger, etc. makes the fusion advance to bigger levels. That means that making him experience extreme emotions will make the DNA be absorbed by his body faster.I then chose someone that is willing to raise the boy for some time to try to make him happy. Journal Log, number 1932 Well, three years have gone by, and the boy showed some incredible results. His brain developed at an unbelievable rate, and he is now intelligent enough to talk with two months. Also, his body developed faster, even as a three year old, he seems like at least nine. He is also smart enough to understand us and have solid emotions. He also understands his surroundings, so we decided to leave him without any kind of information for what he is, what we are doing with him, etc. Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. He''s very innocent, so it will be easy to fool him. Also, i decided to make some alternative tests with him, because raising him as a happy kid doesn''t work anymore, his fusion with the dragon DNA stoped, but it could go even further. My guess is that his body absorbs the DNA by the necessity of survival, if the body isn''t in danger, the absorption of the DNA stops. So, i will torture him to make it go faster. Also, it seems that the woman that i choose to be his mother named him Fafnir. What a ridiculous thing, guinea pigs don''t need names. Journal Log, number 1956 More two years have passed, and the subject is progressing well. He has developed new abilities, like night vision. Also, during one of the sessions, he breathed fire! We opened him(without anesthesia) to see what was happening inside his body. It wasn''t the first time we did this, with his regenerative abilities, he stay barely alive. We couldn''t find anything though. What a shame. His brain has developed greatly too, now he is as smart as a human adult. This is a problem, when he begins to question why he is here there will be a real problem... but we can stop him with ease, he is strong and fast, but not invincible. Also, the woman that we chose as his mother has begun to give us some problems, looks like she really cares for him. Well, she was a problem so i executed her. Journal Log, number 2001 The subject finally discovered about his "mother''s" death. And that was me that killed her. well, he got angry and sad, two strong emotions so the fusion of the DNA was finally complete! I can''t wait to train him as a war weapon! Journal Log, last entry found Well, six years of research, so, today is the last day here in Siberia, i will take the subject with me to my base in Germany to train him and... "educate"... him. Well, there is als- (A high collision sound is heard) What the fuck?! <> (Markus stays silent for some time, only with the alarms and the sound of the security of the base running) *sight* Well, looks like our little rat was able to escape. Let''s see how we can deal with him. Let''s see if i can access the cameras from here.... yep, I can. (sounds of screams, bones breaking, and gunfire for some time.) Holy shit, i didn''t expected for him to become this strong... he''s fast! Where the hell he is going? Wait, that door... it''s from my room! (sound of something hitting metal for three times, than a crashing noise and Markus screamed in panic.) (Fafnir): "Hello, Markus." (Markus): "H-how the hell do you know my name?!" (Fafnir): "How? I heard all of the other scientists talking about you. I can hear better than any animal on earth, you know?" (Sound of steps and struggling) (Fafnir): "You deserve a slower death, but i will make it fast, i don''t have much time. I will take the vehicle out of here and go away, after i kill everyone in this base and erase all the archives here, including your logs." (Sound of snapping and silence for some time.The audio recorder breaks) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, this is the new prologue, what you guys think? arc 1, Before the Summon: Out of The Base (Proofreaded) (author''s notes): Hey guys, Kuro here with one more chapter! Finally, after so much time, I came back with this fiction! I have been without time, but now i will be able to write something this weekend. For now, enjoy the chapter! ---------------------------------------------------------------- I looked to the ground, where lies the body of Markus Ikovich. Humans, so fragile. Um? What''s that? A recorder? Oh, so he was making one of his logs eh? Let''s destroy it for now, I have no interest in what this lunatic has to say, all that I need is the data on the main system of this base. Invade the system won''t be hard, I heard all the passwords during my time here. Also, I know there are vehicles somewhere on this base, made for transport on the glacial climate out there. But for now, I will need some more information from the scientists that are living here. They may have some information that is not recorded inside the main database of this establishment. Also, I know that Markus has a bigger database on his main base on Australia, and I don''t know if I can access that from here. If I can''t, I will have to travel to his main base to delete and destroy any kind of information about his research and me, including the skeleton that he found. I need to find the skeleton too, but it won''t be that hard since it''s stored here, no parts missing. If I can''t destroy it, then I will have to find a way to hide it. I can''t let such a thing fall on the hands of other humans, it''s too dangerous to have something like me roaming around the world. First, I will torture the scientists, I learned some good techniques from this place after all. And obviously, I hold a big grudge against them. First, let''s head to the living quarters. But first, let''s check on Markus¡¯s terminal, I may be able to find a map of this establishment on his archives. Let''s se... ah, I found it. Wow, it''s huge as I imagined, this fucker had a lot of money for sure. Let''s get a better look at his terminal before leaving. Oh! He manages his particular business on this base too! He also keeps his money here too, looks like he doesn''t trust banks to keep his precious money. It will be very useful, but for now, let''s torture the scientists on this base, there should be around 70 of them. I head to the living quarters in search of the scientists. It''s easy to find them, since they stink of fear, and some of them even soiled their pants... gross. Skipping the boring part, since I didn''t feel anything from torturing them... a shame I thought. Since the death of Elena, the woman that tried to raise me, I feel the lack of extreme feelings. Maybe it''s because of my adaptation? Well, not that I care though. Ok, thanks to my torture, I was able to get some extra information, like, Markus has some trust problems. It¡¯s not like that information was useful though. I feel like I lost some precious time... but whatever, since I killed all the inhabitants of this base. Ok, I know where the main operation room is, I¡¯ll head there for now. While walking, I make some plans for the future. Of course i''m going to take Markus''s money, since it will be extremely useful. But I am in doubt in where I should go after this, Markus had some bases around the world, with various experiments in genetics, and I suspect of other human experiments, some really bizarre things. The closest base from here is... China, maybe? Or somewhere in Europe? I need to think of my own life too, I must keep my promise with Elena, and live to the maximum. Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. While thinking about this, I reached the main operation room. Excellent, now let''s search a bit. ........... ........ ...... ... .. . I see, now I understand. My body seems to have completely fused with the dragons DNA.Also, due to my fight with the guards. The greatest change was my regeneration rate, I can heal fast, faster than any creature, but it''s slower than before, since my fight with the guards. when one bullet pierced my shoulder, it did not go too deep because of my tough skin, but it did make a good wound though. A human would take a long time to heal, and I healed it in one hour. If I had the regeneration from my infant stage, I would be able to regenerate it instantly. Also, it seems that my actual fire breath is stronger than the usual, since I feel that my body has matured. It''s a strange sensation, but I feel that I don''t need to... adapt... anymore. Regarding the cause of my breath, Markus couldn''t find the reason, but I know that when I want to breath fire, I can feel a flame in my stomach, and then, I gather a lot of oxygen in my lungs. When I exhale , the fire on my stomach grows and mix with the oxygen on my lungs, lifting them and the air inside, making the fire breath. Anyway, with all the information that I got and the security system deactivated, I can go to the lower levels and see the dragon skeleton. (Lowest floor of the base, two kilometers under the surface) Wow, it''s really big, and all the bones are shining black. Looks like it''s almost made of metal. Ok. let''s see, I touch the skeleton... and I see something.A lot of images invades my brain, making my head hurt a lot. I see a lot of things, volcanoes, forests, creatures that don¡¯t exist on earth, enormous dragons of various colors. Also, I see castles, humans, small people, men and woman with pointed ears, humanoid creatures with tusks coming out of their mouth and pig face. And, in the end, I see a dragon, with shining black scales and golden, piercing eyes, looking straight at me. Then, the images stops and my head hurts no more. Fafnir: What was that? Then, looking at the skeleton, I notice a lot of cracks forming on its surface. The skeleton... is breaking! Before my eyes, the almost indestructible dragon skeleton becomes dust, and disappears... Fafnir: What the fuck was that... Why did it turn to dust when I touched it? What were those images?... No, I must focus on my escape now. I wasted too much time in here, I can find the answers later, but, for now, I must take the money and escape. I walk to Markus¡¯s safe, that is one floor above the dragon. Using the password that I got from Markus¡¯s terminal, I open the safe and take all the money stored here, around 5 million dollars. Then, with all his money on my hands, I head to the surface. WHERE ARE OUR CHAPTERS?!?!?!?! Hello guys, Kuro here. It''s been some time already... yeah, i wasn''t able to write anything at all because of my lack of time. When i am not working, i am studing or sleeping due overwork and stress... even now i wil not post a chapter, since i am still tired and i will sleep now... but soon i will be back(no specific date tought) with more chapters. Until there, please, have patience. Chapter 3: School Days (Fafnir''s POV) I puted down the weight after lifting it for the nth time. I''ve been doing 8.500 repetitions with 900 kilos for each arm everyday for the last week. I''m quite tired, and i''m sweating a lot. After drying my face with a towel, i walked inside the mansion. I''ve been training on the backyard... well, it would be better to say that the backyard looks like a forest... After walking inside, i head to the bathroom on my room in the 5th flloor to take a good shower. The sun haven''t rised yet, so i have some time before school. As i get out from the shower, i begin to dry myself. When i was drying my hair, i look at the enormous mirror that''s on the bathroom''s wall. Umu, i''ve been doing a good work in building my figure. I''m tall, to be more precise, i''m two meters tall. My skin is pale, white as snow. Now that i think about it, i never got a good tan... meh, whatever. I can say that my face has some handsomeness on it. I can''t say that i have traces from anywhere on the world, since the dragon DNA gave me some unique features. Well, i can only say that i have a sharp face, with strong features. My body is full of scars, mainly in the chest. I also have a small horizontal scar under my left eye, very close to it. I''m full of lean muscles. I never was able to make them bulge too much, but they''re extremely defined. Yeah, after so many years i was able to forge this body. I walk out from the bathroom and dress some clothes. It''s an highschool uniform. Why i''m dressing something like that? Well, there are three principal motives. One of them is that i''m completely bored. And when i mean bored it means that i want to do something different from what i did until right now and live a slow, calm and steady life. The second one it''s because i promised to the last owner of this mansion, Hakuei Yamaguchi, an old friend of mine who passed away last year. I promised him that i would complete at least highschool. Well, it was his deathwish, so i didn''t have the guts to refuse. Also, i''m actually writing a book about human habits during their lifes, so be among the young ones will be good for my research. What? I''m not a complete brute, you know? I simply love writing, and i really want to finish my book. I did spent most of my time training and fighting, but it doesn''t mean that i''m a complete imbecile. Anyway, i have to make my breakfast now. I think that i''ll simply do a traditional japanese meal, some fish, a miso soup and rice. Sometimes, simplicity is the best. After everything was ready, i took everything to the last floor of the mansion and sat on the balcony, from where i can se sun rising. As i sip my soup, i enjoy the beauty of the nature. I get distracted for some time. Then, i take another sip.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. (Fafnir): "...it''s cold." I breathe in lightly and hold the air. Then, i brathe out. A small, blue flame comes out from my mouth on the soup. After five seconds blowing, i take another sip. Unum it''s hot again. I finish my breakfast, take the dishes and carry them back to the kitchen. I think that i''ll drive to the school. I don''t want to go with any of my bikes, and also, i lke driving cars. I go down to the garage. On the way, i don''t hear any sound besides my steps. Well, i didn''t hired anyone to take care of the house yet, so it''s obvious. Umu, i should think about hiring someone. I prefer someone that can stay quiet about my activities on the house. I get into the car and drive out from the mansion. Well then, first school day, here we go. (Akame''s POV) My name is Ryuujin Akame, and i''m the heiress of a ninja clan. Althought i am a member of a ninja clan, we still have to adapt to society, ir so says my father. Why i''m saying that? It''s the reason of why me, a ninja, is attending to the highschool. Anyway, it has been almost, what, three months? Since school started. I can say that my class here on the first year is very peaceful... is what i would like to say. The three idols of the school are in my class. The fisrt idol and most popular guy on school, Amano Taichi. I heard that he''s a half japanese half american. He''s tall, blonde, handsome and has blue eyes, completely different from any normal japanese boy. He''s taller than normal too, around 1,85 meters tall. As why he''s an idol... well, he''s good at sports, is an perfect student and also is good at martial arts. I''m stronger than him, thought. The other one is Tsubaki Shinra, she''s the kendo''s club captain and the international kendo champion. She''s not only good at kendo, she''s also good at kejutsu, since her family has an kenjutsu dojo. Once, i went there to spy a bit, and i can say, she''s good, almost a master at kenjutsu. She''s beatiful, with fair white skin, long, straight black hair, rare purple eyes and a beatiful face with rosy lips. She has an cold aura around her and a severe expression, earning her the nickname "Ice Queen". She also has an perfect body, with D-cups. Her height is around 1,70. And the last one is Mary Ainheart, the mascot of the school. Platinum blonde hair tied in a pair of pigtails, bright, green eyes, flat chest and cute face. Her height is around 1,50 meters, being fairly smaller than the other girls. She''s extremely lively and cute, making her an great idol. She has good notes at school despite her lack of attention on the classes. These three are the three idols of the school. Well, there''s another one that i consider that should be an idol. His name is Fafnir Yamaguchi, the heir of the Yamaguchi family. Actually, he shouldn''t exist, since the last head of the family, Hakuei Yamaguchi, died without leting behind descendants. I couldn''t find anything about him when i went to investigate, adn when i tried to shadow him, he escaped from me easily. I''m keeping an eye on him. He''s tall, very, very tall. Like, 2,20 meters tall. You can doubt if he really has 15 year. He has jet-black hair, golden eyes, pale, white skin and a beatiful face. Actually, i can''t say if he''s japanese or from any part of the world, but it''s still beautiful. If i had to say, it has some similarities wth the europeans, but u can''t say for sure. Anyway, he''s quite famous around the school too, since his name is always in first in the school rankings. Also, he''s strong. Absurdly so. The way he walks, his balance are beyon the level of the masters, and sometimes, due sme situations, i saw how strong he is. Althought he always is discreet, and i noticed it because i followed him around and observed him. Nobody else knows about it. I don''t know what he plans doing here on school, but i don''t think that it''s something bad. Should i consider him? Hummm... decisions, decisons... Well, i think that i''ll fisrt approach him, since there''s no harm on it. When i looked at his direction on the class break, i noticed Tsubaki-san walking in his direction. Dammit, i''ll have to wait my turn then... Chapter 4: House Invader (Shinra''s POV) (Mary): "Isn''t he a bit lonely?" Asked Mary, looking at Fafnir-san, who''s sleeping right now. He has been like that since the begining of day. (Taichi): "I don''t think so, he does have some friends." (Mary): "Oh, come on, his "friends" almost never come here to talk to him. They just come here to ask something, like help with the studies or try to borrow money!" (Shinra): "Wait, is that serious?" (Mary): "Yeah!" Well, that''s a problem, people should have friends after all. Also, he doesn''t seems to be a bado person after all. (Taichi): "Even so, what can we do about it?" (Mary): "I don''t know, what about being friends with him?" Well, that also could work. (Taichi): "I don''t have anything against it, but who''s gonna talk to him?" (Shinra) :"I''ll go." I said. Before they could answer, I began to walk in Fafnir-san''s direction. It may seems a bit rude, but I think that if you want to something, you should do it without holding back. So I won''t wait for their decision on this metter, sicne we already agree that we should be his friends. Now it wuld be the part where we discuss who would go talk to him, but no one really want to do it and then we give up. As if I would let it happen. I get to his table and look at him. He''s sleeping with his head on his arms. Ok, let''s wake him up. I gently touch his shoulder and shake him a bit. (Shinra): "Fafnir-san, wake up." I say, but he don''t wake up. I shake him with a bit more strengh. (Shinra): "Faf-" (Fafnir): "Wah!" *Crack* (Shinra): "Wah!" We both say at the same time, me, because he exclaimed, him, probably because I woke him up ahd he is surprised. The sound of breaking wood calls my attention to his hand on the table. Fafnir-san''s fingers dug deep on the wood, breaking it. Oh my god, what strengh! Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. (Fafnir): "Yeah...? Whatszit?" He says with a half sleep face, about to sleep again. I say hastely. (Shinra): "It''s nothing! Sorry for waking you up!" (Fafnir): "No, itz aur-"*bam!* *snore* His head fall again on the table and he begins to snore again, sleeping deply. I swallow and turn around and walk back to my friends. What the fuck was that... so amazing... (Akame''s POV) What. The. Actual. FUCK?! What the hell is with that strengh?! I just saw the small scene caused by Tsubaki Shinra and Fafnir, and saw his fingers simply destroy the wood beneath them. Oh my God, I never saw he showing this kind of strengh! Ok, I HAVE to keep an eye on this guy, its simply impossible that there isn''t something about him! We go trough the whole day and Fafnir''s still sleeping. No teacher was able to wake him up, he is also too heavy for any teacher be able to move him even an inch. By the end of the day, he wakes up and looks confused to his table wich has five holes, done by his fingers. He actually just shrug it off and get up to go out. Okay, time to stalk him! I already know that he comes and go home by car, so I''ll hide in his trunk! I run to the place where he park his car and get there before him. I lockpick the trunk. I take a small device that I created so that i can get out from the inside, lockpicking the lock of the trunk from inside. I hide in his trunk and close it. Now, I just have to wait until we get to his house! (some time later) We finally stop. I hear the sound of the door of the car opening and him geting out. I waited until the sound of his steps went away. Alright, it has been ten minutes alrady, I think it''s time to get out! I pick the lock of the trunk from inside and open it silently. I get out slowly on the garage that has various cars inside. Oh my, the house of a rich person! I knew that he was rich, as the heir of the Yamaguchi family, but to be THIS rich... anyway, I''ll install some cameras around ehre in places that he won''t notice and get out. I changed clothes while inside the trunk, so I''m full dressed in my ninja attire. A simple, classinc ninja attire, boack, no unnecessary details, since it''s made for stealth missons. Also, I''m not using my usual hood, I just tied my hair into a ponytail and hid my face with my mask. The ideas would be if I used the hood, but my clothes barely fit on my bag, and the hood simply didn''t fit there. Anyway, it isn''t time to discuss ninja fashion, I take my bag and look inside it. I have around 26 cameras that I can put in this house. Ha ha ha! Time to peep into other people''s live! Time to begin this! I look around, ok, there''s a pillar that''s near the corner. I run there and put the camera near the cealing and turn it on, now this one should have vision for the whole garage. Now I have to find a way up the house. Let''s see... Well, there''s an elevator. Only the elevator. Fuck, I really don''t want to take the elevator, it will make obvious that there''s someone else in the house. What to do... I look around, searching for another way. Then, I notice a door that''s almost hidden. I approach it and try the handle. Locked. I pick the lock with the tools that I have on my uniform, unlocking it. Opening the door, I see stairs leading up. I grin, walking up the stairs without making a sound. (Fafnir''s POV) As I cut the vegetables for my meal, I smell a scent that I''m not familiar with inside my house. It''s the same smell that was coming from my car. I tought that it was the smell of someone that had leaned on my car for some reason, wich has already happened before, so I ignored the smell. But now, the smell is stronger, clearly, it''s owner is inside my house. Where is he? In the stairs from the garage... was the invader hidden on the trunk? Well, I''ll kill it aniway. With the knife in hand and dressed on my white appron over my uniform with the sleeves rolled up to my elbows, I go in the direction of the invader. It isn''t the first time that someone tries to invade my house. Normally, I just give them a beating and throw them out from the house. But this presence is from someone with battle experience. Well, nothing that I can''t handle. I walk, killing my presence and not making a sound as I walk. I strain my ears, but I can''t hear the sound of footsteps. Whoever is this person, it''s skilled in sneaking around. Too bad that I can hear it''s heart and breath. I stop, touching my back against a wall in the end of a corridor. The invader approaches. I ready my kife. As soon as the invader gets to the end of the corridor, I slash at it''s throat! (Akame''s POV) I walk trought the corridor with care to not make any noise. As I near the end of the corridor, the ninp?(ninja art) that my clan pratices to sense danger makes me feel unease. There''s something on the end of the corridor. I approach slowly, paying attention. Suddenly, my danger sense goes wild, and I crouch by instinct. A kitchen knife goes over my head, filled with killing intent. I jump back to the corridor, and I see the one that attacked me. It''s Fafnir-san! How did he noticed me?! I prepares to launch himself against me, but before he could do that, I throw five shurikens at him. Althought I didn''t aimed to the vital spots, if I hit he still won''t be abe to move. But he surprises me, deflecting all of my shurikens with the kitchen knife. A. FUCKING. KITCHEN. KNIFE! Fuck me, he was always this amazing?! No! It isn''t the time to be a fangirl! I can''t die here! But i also don''t want him to discover that I''m his classmate that invaded his house! What do I do?! Chapter 5: Ill Call Your Dad! (Fafnir¡¯s POV) I deflected the kunais with my knife. She didn¡¯t aim on my vital points, so I can suppose that she wants to capture me or interrogate after incapacitating me. As if I would let it happen! Alright, time to level this thing up. I advance, attacking the kunoichi. Attacking with a straight punch with my left hand, I try to grab her. I move much faster than a human is capable of, but she jumps back, avoiding it. Hoh~, she¡¯s not half-bad. Alright, let¡¯s- don¡¯t run away! (Akame¡¯s POV) Fafnir-san tries to grab me, but I was barely able to avoid. What¡¯s with that speed?! Ok, change of plans, run away while I can! I simply turn back and begin to run with all my strength. Then, I hear a loud sound of something hitting the ground and wood cracking. Ah, I¡¯m screwed, aren¡¯t I? (Fafnir¡¯s POV) She tried to run away, so I stomped the ground with my right leg, cracking the wood floor of my house. Dammit, I¡¯ll have to repair it later. I wonder if it will be pricy? I also never fixed a floor before, I wonder if it¡¯s hard to do it? Using the power generated by my stomp, I propel myself forward in high speed. The kunoichi turns around, taking a kunai from somewhere. Moving my hand, I slash at her kunai, cutting it in half. Distracted this, she stares at her half kunai. Taking this opportunity, I throw my left hand again, this time grabbing her neck. Immediately, she stops moving, giving up. Good. Now, I will take her to my interrogation room. Don¡¯t ask me why I have one in this house, just know that I have. (Akame¡¯s POV) He cut it in half¡­ with a kitchen knife, he cut my metal kunai with a kitchen knife¡­ in half¡­ ah, whatever, I lost, ok? I don¡¯t want to fight anymore~. My whole life training was meaningless desu~~ He grabbed my neck. I wasn¡¯t suffocating, but his hand gave the feeling of steel holding my neck. Ah, I¡¯m dead. Without releasing my neck, he drags me to a room in the underground. What ca I wait from him, I wonder. My big brother used to tease me that if you were captured you could expect things worse than death. I never believed him, since I never tough that I would be caught by an enemy. Inside the room, he put me seated on a steel chair and handcuffed my hands and feet, tying the handcuffs on my hands on a chain that¡¯s connected to the steel table. Fafnir-san than takes off his apron, which he was wearing during the whole thing, and sat in front of me in a steel chair, on the other side of the table.

But first, I will warn you, I don¡¯t want to waste my time in torture, so I will kindly ask you to speak, ok?¡± He says. Extending his hand, he takes off my mask. Looking at me for a moment, he murmured. (Fafnir): ¡°Seiryuu Akame?!¡± (Akame): ¡°¡­ Tehe~pero?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Don¡¯t try to act cute on me! Nom what the hell are you doing invading my house?!¡± (Akame): ¡°I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I¡¯m sorry degozaru!¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Gozaru?¡± Dammit, my bad habit came out again. I worked so hard to try to get rid of it! In the end, when I¡¯m nervous it comes out¡­ (Fafnir): ¡°Whatever, why did you invade my house?¡± (Akame): ¡°I-i-it¡¯s because¡­¡± I couldn¡¯t come up with an excuse. Fafnir-san stares at me, making me sweat cold. After a short silence, he says: (Fafnir): ¡°So, will you speak or¡­¡± (Akame): ¡°S-sorry. I came here to install some cameras to spy on you, degozaru.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°¡­¡­¡­ pervert.¡± (Akame): ¡°GAH! It isn¡¯t what you are thinking degozaru! I just wanted to get information on you degozaru!¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Stalker.¡± (Akame): ¡°Guh! A-anyway, I didn¡¯t mean any harm, I just wanted to learn more about you! It¡¯s true degozaru!¡± (Fafnir): ¡°¡­ Alright, at least I can tell that you aren¡¯t a threat. But I still can¡¯t trust you.¡± (Akame): ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Now the question is what I will do with you¡­¡± (Akame): ¡°A-ano(escuse me)¡± (Fafnir): ¡°What?¡± He asked me as I called him. Alright, I didn¡¯t want to involve him on this, but I will have to. Sorry Fafnir-san. (Akame): ¡°If you want, I can introduce you my father, he will be a great connection if Fafnir-san wants.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Your father?¡± (Akame): ¡°Yes, from my clan. My father is the leader so¡­¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Wait, your clan? The Seiryuu clan?¡± (Akame): ¡°Eh? Ah, yes, that one!¡± (Fafnir): ¡°You¡¯re Hamada¡¯s daughter?!¡± (Akame): ¡°You know my dad?!¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Yeah, I do. Argh, I will call him here.¡± (Fafnir¡¯s POV) I didn¡¯t know that Seiryuu-san was Hamada¡¯s daughter. I met him around 30 years ago, when I came to Japan to deal with something. I saved his life during a little something that happened, and since than we had a good friendship. Although I hadn¡¯t visited him yet, since he doesn¡¯t know I am in Japan, I didn¡¯t meet his daughter yet. I know his oldest one, I met him once when he was five years old. Actually, I only know that he had a daughter when I met him on America ten years ago, when he bragged to me about his cute wife. I was rather annoying. I take my phone and type Hamada¡¯s number and wait it for connect while looking at her, so that she can¡¯t do anything funny while I look away. The phone connects. I put in on loud speaker. (Hamada): ¡°If isn¡¯t my old friend! What¡¯s the news? For you to call me, what happened? A ninja invaded your house?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Yeah. And the ninja that invaded my house is your daughter.¡± (Hamada): ¡°¡­ Ha¡­ Ha Ha! Fafnir-dono, you¡¯re such a tease! Please, don¡¯t make a joke like that! My daughter couldn¡¯t possibly-¡° (Fafnir): ¡°She did. What the hell have you been teaching to your kids, Hamada?¡± (Hamada): ¡°¡­¡­.. Are you serious?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Yeah. She even said degozaru at the end of her phrase. Go on, Seiryuu-san, say something.¡± (Akame): ¡°P-papa, he¡¯s saying the truth. I¡­¡­. invaded his house.¡± (Hamada): ¡°¡­ Akame, we have to talk. Fafnir-dono, do you mind if I go to your house right now?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°No, I don¡¯t.¡± Chapter 6: The Ninja Father (Hamada¡¯s POV) I got out from the car and my bodyguards did the same. We are in the mansion of Fafnir-dono. He¡¯s at the gate, waiting for me. (Hamada): ¡°Wait here.¡± I say to my bodyguards. They stay behind as I approach Fafnir-dono. As always, he¡¯s intimidating due his sheer height. 2,30 meters, golden, almost glowing eyes and a strong face. Clearly muscular, although not bulky contribute to his intimidation. Although he has this intimidating aura, he¡¯s surprisingly gentle and sociable. When I get close, he smiles warmly, and I feel welcomed by a friend. I smile as well, and we shake hands. (Fafnir): ¡°If it isn¡¯t the little brat Hamada?¡± (Hamada): ¡°It still makes me jealous that you don¡¯t age at all.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Well, I can¡¯t say anything about that. Come in, your daughter is in the interrogation room in the underground.¡± He said, guiding me through the house. As we walked, we talked a bit. (Hamada): ¡°So, how are things going? Still studying human society?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Yeah, I really want to finish my studies on society. Since I mastered martial arts, there isn¡¯t a lot to do after all.¡± (Hamada): ¡°You say like it was nothing, but you mastered more than two hundred martial arts and weapons, including swords, maces and other weapons. It¡¯s a bit frustrating, actually.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Don¡¯t say like that, I barely slept while training, you know me. The time that I spent training is almost all the hours of my life training. Anyway, you are welcome to come here any time you want to train, I¡¯m quite free after all.¡± (Hamada): ¡°Oh! I¡¯ll come here to train then. I will also bring my eldest son here, I don¡¯t know if he remembers you though.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Well, that¡¯s not a problem! Just bring him here. Also, bring your wife, you bragged so much about her that I want to meet her, you little brat!¡± (Hamada): ¡°Of course that I will bring her here! I also talked a lot about you to her, she¡¯s also curious about you.¡± We laughed. We were almost in the interrogation room. I stop for a moment, and Fafnir-dono also stops.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. (Hamada): ¡°Fafnir-dono-¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Drop the formalities already, there aren¡¯t any people around here. I already said that you and I are friends. I don¡¯t know about you, but I would risk my life for you if something happens to you.¡± I stayed quiet at that. It¡¯s true. We both fought with our lives in the line, and I do see Fafnir-dono as an older brother. (Hamada): ¡°Then, Fafnir. Why did my daughter invaded your house?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Because she¡¯s a pervert.¡± (Hamada): ¡°GAH!¡± WHAT?! My daughter is a pervert?! Wait, that means that she¡¯s into Fafnir! I can use this to marry her to him! My clan follows the belief that we should marry worthy and strong people, and I always deemed Fafnir worthy! Now that my daughter has a thing for him, I could marry her to him and have him in our clan! Frankly, having Fafnir as part of my clan would reassure me about the future of my family. So, I will push my daughter to him. Since I know that he will take good care of her if they end up marrying, so I don¡¯t have to worry about him making her sad. I contain myself as we walk inside the interrogation room. My daughter is seated on the steel chair, handcuffed to the table. She looks at me, and lower her head when she meets my hard look. (Hamada): ¡°Fafnir, can I have a moment with her?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Sure. I will make dinner while you both talk. Any request, Hamada?¡± (Hamada): ¡°Gyoza, please.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll call when the dinner is ready.¡± Then, Fafnir gets out from the room, leaving me alone with my daughter. I sit in front of her. (Hamada): ¡°Why you broke in his house?¡± (Akame): ¡°Well¡­ I suspected that he wasn¡¯t up for no good, and he¡¯s strong. Also, the way that he showed up as the heir of the Yamaguchi family was strange too. I wanted to investigate, so I broke in here and wanted to set up some cameras¡­¡± (Hamada): ¡°I see¡­ summing up, you¡¯re a pervert.¡± (Akame): ¡°Dad! Not you too!¡± (Hamada): ¡°Ah, I don¡¯t remember raising my daughter as a perv who stalks people.¡± I saying, using my finger the wipe a inexistent tear. (Akame): ¡°Hear what I¡¯m saying de gozaru!¡± She screams, with tears in her eyes. Suddenly getting serious, I put both my elbows in the table and rest my chin on my hands, in a serious vibe. (Hamada): ¡°Now, Akame, I understand your actions, I know you very well, and you acted as I trained you to, so I don¡¯t have anything to punish you.¡± (Akame): ¡°But I was caught, this is an offense to the clan¡¯s name¡­¡± (Hamada): ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you were bound to fail in the moment you tried to break in Fafnir¡¯s house. He probably detected you smell as soon as you entered the house.¡± (Akame): ¡°Smell?¡± (Hamada): ¡°Yeah, smell. I will explain later, but for now, don¡¯t feel bad for being caught, Fafnir is simply impossible to get by surprise. Anyway, Akame, seeing that you went far enough to try to spy on him, it means that you have considered him, right?¡± She blushes slightly, and hesitates before answering. (Akame): ¡°Yes, I did.¡± (Hamada): ¡°I see. My daughter, I recommend him as a potential husband.¡± She widened her eyes, saying. (Akame): ¡°Someone that even you approves¡­¡± (Hamada): ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s a good person, and I can say this from the bottom of my heart. Akame, I won¡¯t force you to marry him, but it¡¯s a promising idea to do so.¡± She stays silent for some time, before saying: (Akame): ¡°Alright, I will try!¡± (Hamada): ¡°Ok! Then let¡¯s get those cuffs off, I¡¯m itching to eat Fafnir¡¯s food again.¡± (Akame): ¡°Is it that good?¡± (Hamada): ¡°Yeah, to the point that he¡¯s probably the best cook in the world.¡± Chapter 7: Summoning (Part 1) (3¡ã person POV) Akame looked at Fafnir, who¡¯s reading a book, completely concentrated. She has been following him since last week when she tried to break in his house. Surprisingly for her, she got rather close to him, and enjoys walking around with him. She couldn¡¯t get close to him though, he¡¯s quite a hard person to get close to. Although she is his friend, she can¡¯t get really close to him, and make him feel something for her. That¡¯s actually frustrating for her, who wants to know him better. She gets up, ready for another try, when suddenly, a dazzling light comes from the ground, blinding all of them for a second. Fafnir¡¯s class fell on the ground, together with their teacher. Around 30 students are on the ground, including Fafnir. Fafnir touches the ¡°ground¡±, a white thing that doesn¡¯t seem to be the ground at all, more seemingly to be something transparent with a white space under it. Approaching Fafnir, Akame asks while whispering. (Akame): ¡°What happened?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°How the hell should I know? I never saw something like this before¡­¡± Suddenly, another light showed up¡­ no, several lights showed up. From these lights of variated colors, several people show up. They are dressed in various clothes with flashy decorations, as if they were cosplays. Although they didn¡¯t give this aura, since the aura surrounding them gave a divine feeling. The one in the middle and with the strongest aura, a man with white long hair and a long white beard dressed in loose silk clothes. His aura was overpowering and intimidating. Surprisingly, his voice was gentle when he spoke. (Old man): ¡°Young humans, I¡¯m deeply sorry for this situation, it got out from my control too fast to be done.¡± The teacher of the class, a handsome man in his mid-thirties, with short brown hair and wearing a brown suit. His name is Higaki Tooru, more known as Higaki-sensei. (Higaki): ¡°What is happening here? Who the hell are you guys? Where is this place?¡± He asks angrily. Suddenly, the guy just beside the old man, and man with tan skin, bald, wearing an armor and muscular, releases a strong pressure with an annoyed face. Immediately, all the students and Higaki fall on their knees. Immediately, the old man materializes a cane and it the head of the bald guy, making the pressure disappear. (Old man): ¡°Stop with this, idiot son.¡± (bald): ¡°Sorry dad¡­¡± (Old man): ¡°What you would do if they couldn¡¯t handle your pressure?¡± This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. (bald): ¡°You say that, but these three there did held out.¡± The old man looked at them again after hearing that. Three people weren¡¯t on the ground. The first one was Tsubaki Shinra, barely standing and sweating heavily. The second one is Akame, holding Fafnir¡¯s arm, sweating cold and with widened eyes. And the third one is Fafnir, who¡¯s standing without a problem, glaring at the bald guy. He seems fine, as if not affected. The bald man noticed that he¡¯s actually releasing a pressure of his own, but it¡¯s not affecting the others. Noticing this, the old man thinks: (Old man): ¡°This boy¡­ I see, he¡¯s the one that inherited ¡®he¡¯s¡¯ bloodline.¡± Landing on the ground with the others, the old man speaks: (Breas): ¡°Sorry for my son¡¯s behavior. My name is Breas, and I¡¯m the main god of this pantheon. I¡¯m the god of creation, and ruler of the other gods. This place where we are right now is a temporary space created by us during the summoning so that we could speak with you.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°What do you mean?¡± Fafnir asks, since everyone else seems too terrified to talk. (Breas): ¡°Well, for the first thing, you guys are being summoned to another world. Before this I looked at the culture of your world, so I can say that the world that you guys are being summoned, the world that I look over, is a fantasy world, with magic, a variety of races such as elves, dwarves, humans etc.¡± He says. Looking at the reactions of the kids, Breas continues. (Breas): ¡°Th reason that you guys are here is because the humans are facing a crisis, a war against a race called ¡°demon race¡±, they used an old ritual called ¡°hero summoning¡±. I¡¯m deeply sorry for bothering you guys with this, but as gods, we cannot interfere directly, so we were powerless to stop the summoning. Please, understand.¡± (Higaki): ¡°There¡¯s a way to send us back?¡± (Breas): ¡°I don¡¯t know, but¡­¡± Breas directed his eyes to one of the man that popped up with him. They were ten in total, counting Breas in, six man and four women. The man that he looked at was a tall man, with fair skin, handsome face, blue eyes and dark blue hair. Dressed in loose clothes with a loose feeling, he had an intellectual aura. (Hexes): ¡°My name is Hexes, and I¡¯m the god of magic of this world. As for your question, there is a magic that can return you guys back to your world. Unfortunately, it is in the possession of a dragon. I also don¡¯t know the name of the dragon, but I can say for sure that he lives in the demon continent, the home of the demon race.¡± (Higaki): ¡°What do you mean with that?¡± (Hexes): ¡°What I mean with that is that unfortunately you will have to face the demon race if you want to go home anyway.¡± Silence. After a few minutes, Breas said: (Breas): ¡°Again, I apologize for your actual situation. However, I refuse to let you guys go in a dangerous place without any kind of help. That¡¯s why we are here, we will help you guys, giving our blessings and the maximum of power we can. First, we will explain some things for you guys. But first, we will choose the ones that will receive our blessings based on the ones that have more affinity with us.¡± After a few minutes organizing the students and chatting a bit to make them feel comfortable, they begin to explain some things. (Beas): ¡°Alright, first, we will give you guys a blessing, and you will acquire special powers. It may manifest as a magic, item or even a familiar. Are you guys ready?¡± Then, the gods gathered the ones that they chose to bless and released a light on them. Higaki and two of the girls of the class under the goddess of love, Taichi and some guys and girls of the class under Beas and Akame, Shinra and Fafnir under the god of war, the bald guy in an armor, Vertras. When the light was over, all of them could feel something different in their bodies¡­ and also, floating in front of their faces, was this:
You have received a blessing from Vertras, the God of War!
Due the blessing of the god of war, you have acquired a skill based in your skills and abilities.
Red War Dragon Scale Coat
Type:Natural Trait
Tier:UniqueLevel:1
Creates a long coat of dragon scales that covers the whole body, working like an armor. It will evolve together with you. You can¡¯t feel the weight if the armor and it¡¯s weight won¡¯t hinder you.
The other gods began explaining how to use their abilities, including Vertras. (Vertras): ¡°Alright kids, here¡¯s the deal, close your eyes and you will feel something different on your body, just focus on it and it will come naturally to you.¡± Fafnir closes his eyes, and immediately feel something inside him. Focusing on item the methods to activate and deactivate the armor come to mind. (Vertras): ¡°alright kids, show me what you¡¯ve got!¡± Chapter 8: The Summoning (Part 2) (3¡ã person POV) A katana materialized in Shinra¡¯s hands. Perfect, without a flaw, of a perfect, silvery blade and white hilt with golden guard. The blade was so clear that you could see yourself in it, and it had a blue hue to it. (Vertras): ¡°Wow, a great sword! Perfect one! Oh, and we two rarities here!¡± He said, looking at Fafnir and Akame. Akame is holding a weapon, a tant?, around 40 centimeters long, way too long for this kind of blade. On her arms, two black and smooth shin guards cover from the back of her hands to her elbows. Similar greaves covered her legs, from her knees to her feet. But the one that called the most attention was Fafnir. Head to toe, covered in a red overcoat¡­ no, there was no way of opening it from the front, probably dressed like a shirt. This ¡°shirt¡± extended all the way down to the ankles, open in the front, like an overcoat, exposing the legs that are now covered in heavy, black pants and the feet in black, heavy boots. The arms covered in the sleeves of the armor, and the hands in fingerless gloves. In the head, a loose hood from the coat and a face mask that covers until the nose. The coat, the hood and the mask are made of the same material, white leather with white fur in the inside, covered with finger-sized red scales, assembled together like the hide of a dragon. In the waist, a belt like Zoro¡¯s, but covered with red scales like the coat with white fur poking out from the edges. Kinda cool, actually. Looking at that, Vertras said: (Vertras): ¡°Hoh~, a complete armor! Also, this dragon attribute, and in such abundance! A rare find, this one is!¡± Taichi summoned his weapon, a bastard sword with wide blade and many decorations, making it a beautiful blade. A whole, yellowish holy aura covering it. The name of the blade?
Hero¡¯s Sword
Type:Souls Equipment Tier:UniqueLevel:1 The sword of a savior, who carries the hopes of the people. (Breas): ¡°Oh, there is something rare! A holy blade with a heroic name¡­¡± Taichi felt proud when Breas said that. A heroic blade, a very cool thing that could help him to go back home with everybody. No, he will help everybody to go home, no matter what it takes. Suddenly¡­ (Breas): ¡°Wow! Is that a full body armor?¡± He says, looking at Fafnir. Completely letting Taichi as a second rate, going to the big guy with the full body armor. In that moment, Taichi felt something boiling inside him, but couldn¡¯t really say what. Some of the gods looked at Fafnir, but decided to keep guiding the humans. The only two gods that decided to take a closer look at Fafnir was Breas and a goddess. Approaching him, Breas said: (Breas): ¡°Oh, quite a rare one that we have here, having the aura of a dragon right of the bat!¡± (Vertras): ¡°Right? I picked a good one! Hahahaha!¡± The goddess approached Fafnir and said, smiling. Blonde, with pink clothes that hugged her tightly, revealing her body lines. Her straight, soft blonde hair goes just below her waist and her breasts had an attention-grabbing size. She isn¡¯t that tall, around 1,60 meters tall, Fafnir himself towers above her. Looking up, she smiles cutely. (Qiulla): ¡°My name is Qiulla, I¡¯m the goddess of love. Nice to meet you, big guy.¡±The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. (Fafnir): ¡°Same here, sweetie.¡± Fafnir said, jokingly. Qiulla then smiled again, this time with a seducing smile. Touching her lips, she said: (Qiulla): ¡°My my, we have a bold one here, don¡¯t we?¡± She touched Fafnir¡¯s chest. Feeling her touch, Fafnir strangely felt his heart beating a bit faster. Ignoring it, he said in a provocative tone: (Fafnir): ¡°You have to do better than that to make me feel something, little lady.¡± (Qiulla): ¡°Heh~, I¡¯m not pretty enough for you?¡± She asks, making puppy eyes and making a cute pose. Any normal man would fall for per in this moment, or at least have their hearts skip a beat. But Fafnir, who was expecting for this, almost didn¡¯t felt anything¡­ almost. He did felt his heart beat a bit stronger, something that doesn¡¯t happen easily. (Fafnir): ¡°I¡¯ve seen prettier.¡± He says. She pouts cutely, and Fafnir chuckles. Fafnir ponders a bit about what he felt when Qiulla teased him a bit. You can say that Fafnir didn¡¯t stood still during all his life, he had his romances like any other man, and had quite a bit. He was saying the truth when he said that he has seen prettier woman than Qiulla, and some of them tried to seduce Fafnir. Being him, he doesn¡¯t budge easily, and he has a perfect control on his feelings, to the point that it¡¯s extremely hard to make him feel something. Akame was experiencing this in first hand. Seeing this exchange, Breas talked with Fafnir. (Breas): ¡°Kiddo, come with me for a moment, I have something to speak with you.¡± Touching Fafnir¡¯s back, he takes him to a place a bit more isolated than the other ones, so that they can¡¯t be listened talking. (Breas): ¡°I know about your lineage and the experiments done on you.¡± Fafnir takes off the mask and the hood, frowning a bit, surprisingly getting a bit angry at this, a reaction that even him wouldn¡¯t expect. (Fafnir): ¡°What about it?¡± (Breas): ¡°I only want to say that people like you, a mix of two races, is pretty common in the world that you are going to. Relax, none of us will judge you for this. What I want is to make some questions and give you some advices.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°¡­.. Alright, go on.¡± (Breas): ¡°First, do you know which kind is your non-human part?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°¡­ I have some suspicious, and since I¡¯m going to a fantasy world right now, I think that isn¡¯t absurd to guess that it¡¯s a dragon.¡± (Breas): ¡°You¡¯re right. You will find the answers for you questions about who that dragon is in this world with the other dragons. Please, don¡¯t ask about it to me right now, our time here is limited, and I won¡¯t be able to explain everything now. The other dragons will be able to give your answers, so please, hold back.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°¡­¡­. Alright, what else?¡± (Breas): ¡°Alright, that was my question, since you don¡¯t know which is your lineage. But now, let¡¯s talk about puberty.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Hey hey, if you know enough about me and the experiments you must know that I went through that a long time ago¡­¡± (Breas): ¡°Yes, I know. But the problem is that there are more factors to it right now. You have dragon blood in your veins right now that was dormant. Now that you are going to the other world, this blood will awake. Then, some differences will happen in your body.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°What do you mean?¡± (Breas): ¡°Well, you will enter in contact with mana, which is something that barely exists in your world, but it¡¯s overflowing in the world that you are going to. Your blood, which is originally made to adapt to mana, will make your body change a bit, and will have similar effects to puberty, dragon version.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Alright, you will most likely to experience emotional fluctuations and your emotions will be a bit easier to come to you, and harder to control. You may experience some muscular growth and some of your teeth may begin to sharpen. Your eyes will become more sensitive to light with the time, and your night vision will improve greatly. Basically, the mutations that your body didn¡¯t had when you were injected with the DNA will happen now.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°So you mean that I will become more¡­ dragon-like?¡± (Breas): ¡°Yes, youngster. If you have the opportunity, I suggest that you train your body as most as you can. Also, meditate. A lot. Adapt to mana as soon as possible, this will happen to keep some emotional bursts. Also, there¡¯s something else¡­¡± He made a pause, seeming a bit flustered in talking in the next thing. Fafnir looked at him, saying: (Fafnir): ¡°What?¡± (Breas): ¡°You will have¡­ a sex drive.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°¡­ What?¡± (Breas): ¡°You second puberty isn¡¯t for show, it will make you get excited easier, and most likely to feel excited around girls. Also, you were sterile in your world, right?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Well, yeah. Dragon DNA isn¡¯t compatible with human DNA¡­¡± (Breas): ¡°Yeah¡­ that¡¯s actually wrong, dragon DNA is extremely compatible, they can breed with almost any species in existence. Humans are no exception. However, for reproduction, they need mana. It was a miracle that you were compatible with the DNA, you are probably the only one that can breed with a dragon in a mana-less environment. Anyway, in the world that you are going, that¡¯s full of mana, will make you¡­ fertile again. That means that you can have children in that world.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Oh.¡± (Breas): ¡°Oh. That said, I end this here, I don¡¯t anything else to say. Let¡¯s go back before we worry the others.¡± They went back, and then, they spoke a bit more, just chatting a bit to keep the kids comfortable. All the gods were surprisingly knowledgeable about the modern world, about earth. Making some jokes, talking about some movies, which they surprisingly enjoyed, even some games. (Fafnir): ¡°So, you play games¡­¡± (Vertras): ¡°Yep. You world is incredible, when we first toke notice of your world, and what you were doing without magic¡­ wow, it was mind blowing. And when the first games came out, it was a good distraction from the boring shit that was being a god of war in an almost pacific world. And since I can¡¯t interfere directly if not by an avatar, I get bored easily. Almost all of us gods like playing games.¡± (Qiulla): ¡°He¡¯s right. I enjoy some adventure games, action, etc. Vertras enjoy any kind of violent game, when that Kratos guy appeared he even shaved his head!¡± (Vertras): ¡°Oy!¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Pfff, HA HA HA HA!!!¡± Chapter 9: Summoning (Part 3) (3¡ã person POV) (Vertras): ¡°Stop laughing!¡± (Fafnir): ¡°What are you going to do? Cut me down with your Blade of Olympus?¡± (Qiulla): ¡°Pff!¡± (Vertras): ¡°Don¡¯t you dare laugh on me! You want to know one thing? Ciel and Sebastian¡­¡± (Qiulla): ¡°Eh?¡± (Vertras): ¡°You haven¡¯t read the manga yet, did you?¡± (Qiulla): ¡°Wait, you wouldn¡¯t dare!¡± (Vertras): ¡°Oh yeah, I would!¡± (Qiulla): ¡°Alright, I¡¯m sorry ok?! Please! No spoilers!¡± She screams, tearing up with her big blue eyes. Fafnir, looking at them, says: (Fafnir): ¡°So¡­ fujoshi?¡± Qiulla blushes, and avoids looking at Fafnir. Vertras smiles meanly. Fafnir then says: (Fafnir): ¡°What are you smiling for, shorty? You¡¯re still missing the tattoo and the goatee.¡± He stops smiling, and Qiulla begins smiling again. Vertras look at him angrily. (Vertras): ¡°Shut up! And what the hell are you saying with ¡°shorty¡±?! I¡¯m two meters tall, goddammit!¡± Fafnir raised his hand, as if measuring Vertras height. Smiling cruelly, he said: (Fafnir): ¡°Yeah, and about a head and a bit shorter¡­ shorty.¡± Vertras fell on his knees, putting his hands in the ground, suffering from an intense anger. (Vertras): ¡°SHIIIIT! I can¡¯t say anything about that!¡± Qiulla couldn¡¯t resist seeing Vertras pathetic state, and began to laugh. Even Fafnir chuckled at this. Even Breas, who was looking at them from the side, combing his beard with his hand, chuckled a bit. Suddenly, all the gods had the same feeling, that the time was going to end. (Breas): ¡°Alright, please, pay attention, all of you. The time for the summoning is come, and you all will be sent again. Before we sent you guys there, I sent a divination to the oracle, so they will only have to receive you guys, warmly, I expect. Please, take care, and good luck.¡± A bright light enveloped them, and they disappeared from the white space. In the room of the summoning, a room without windows with a large magic circle engraved in the ground, a few figures are standing in the bae of the stairs leading above. Twenty of them, in total. The great majority were people dressed in gaudy robes, holding staffs. One is a knight, dressed in a shiny armor with his helm under his arm. On his waist, a sword in his waist. He has a strong face, short black hair, tan skin and a scar above his eyebrow. The other one is a man dressed on flashy clothes, a crown in his head and a red mantle over his shoulders. He has brown, curly hair just below the neck, a thick brown beard in his face, green eyes and strong body. He¡¯s clearly a king. The other one is a girl, long, blonde platinum hair, red eyes and white skin. She¡¯s in a red gown dress, full of frills and golden lines and decorations, a beautiful dress. Her skin is white and smooth, like porcelain, her face, beautiful, with delicate traces and pink lips. She has a worried expression on her face. She looks at the man beside her, an old man, with white hair and dressed in religious clothes resembling the clothes of the pope of earth, with different patterns and without the hat.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. He¡¯s the oracle that received the message from Breas. The girl, the princess, came together with her father to look at the heroes, from which they heard from the gods that they will take some time to come, mora than planned. The king, standing there, had an irritated expression on his face, as if pissed for being forced to wait. Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared, blinding them for a second, and when the light died, all the heroes were there. Immediately, the expression of the king becomes warm, with a welcoming smile. He opens his arms and says: (Oswald): ¡°Welcome, Heroes! I am the king of this kingdom, Oswald Velstadt, this girl is my daughter, Luna Velstadt. The gods have already sent their message to us through our oracle, so please, follow us upstairs, we have a feast waiting for you all. Please, follow us.¡± (Luna¡¯s POV) I looked as my father talked to the heroes. Such a liar, he was angry until some moments ago, since his plans got destroyed by the gods themselves. What he planned was to use the royal magicians to cast slavery magic on the heroes, but the blessings from the gods protected them from that. Also, he didn¡¯t plan to release the information about the summoning, so that he could threaten them with the slavery or magic, but since I secretly released the information about them, I limited his movements. Now he can¡¯t do anything against them without being taken down by the people or the nobles. After we get up and receive the heroes, we take them to the ¡°feast¡±, basically a ball. I prepared this so that the heroes could create connections as soon as possible with the nobles. Although they could not be prepared to the noble society, I already spread the chance that he nobles could be commoners. And it seems that I was right. They don¡¯t have much etiquette, but they are sympathetic and seem to have a wish to cooperate with us. As we walk, I use the gift that I was born with, the Judge Eyes, to look at their abilities. Although the eyes don¡¯t work very well on people that are a lot stronger than me, it¡¯s worth the shot. First, I look at the one that they call teacher.

Then, my eyes fall on two figures. They are moving together, being a little discrete, talking with some nobles and seem to be getting a good friendship with them. One of them is a girl, cute, with long, black hair. The other one is a handsome guy, with black hair, pale skin, fit body, golden eyes¡­ and he¡¯s a giant.

King-sized bed with a canopy, table, chairs, a bookcase with some books. Sitting on the bed, I focused again, one of the things that I noticed were that we have something like status, like everyone in this world. It seems that the gods gave us a pack of information so that we don¡¯t get lost in this world, including how to read, write and speak the common language. So, on the bed, I think: (Fafnir): ¡°Status.¡±

Alright, I don¡¯t know how this is compared to other humans, but it¡¯s good that I can follow my growth through numeri values. Leave that bullshit that status don¡¯t reflect yourself and will hinder your growth. If you use them right, you can create your own way of making yourself stronger faster by seeing the results constantly. Anyway, I will use this to make a better training schedule. But first, I have to take a look at that king, I¡¯m having bad vibes about him. Well, I won¡¯t do it today, first, I will gather information. Books, people talking, chatting etc. will give me the information that I want. I can¡¯t simply torture r interrogate he king, so that will be it. I¡¯ll first talk with Akame, I will ask her to break in the king¡¯s office, if there is something like that, and copy any document that she can. Anyway, things will get busy soon, so I better prepare. But first, meditation. Crossing my legs, I close my eyes and focus. Due the years of practice, I immediately enter a meditative state. After a few seconds, I feel something running through my veins. I can feel this energy creeping in my whole body, following the path of my veins. I can feel this energy changing me from inside, moving through my muscles, making them grow little by little. So this is mana? I can clearly feel it running through me. Wow, it goes so smoothly, like it was my own blood. Suddenly, I heard a pling in my head. Opening my eyes, I a window floating in front of me.

Seeing that, I have some mixed feelings. Alright, I¡¯ll think about that later. I also saw some titles in my status window, let¡¯s take a look at that.
Title:Black Disaster¡¯s Child(Equipped)
You are a descendant of a cursed lineage, from a creature feared even by the gods.
¡±And I stoop upon the hill, and gazed down to the valley. Black wings that when unfurled, covered the sky, turning the day night, casting a cold shadow. From its mouth, black flames rolled out, freezing everything at touch.¡±
Title:Cold Blood
Title unlocked after killing more than 100 people in a spree without hesitation.
Title:Martial Demi-God
Develop an extremely powerful martial style, and receive a blessing from a God of War.
These are my titles, huh? Demi-God is extremely presumptuous, I don¡¯t want that kind of title. Also, that thing about Black Disaster¡­ this will be problematic. Really, problematic. There is something fishy about this, it seems that I should pay the dragons a visit as soon as possible. Looking outside, I see that it¡¯s turning night. Getting up, I take off the upper part of my uniform, and begin to do push-ups while forcing all my muscles to tire them faster and make the exercise be worth to do and actually help to develop my muscles. After a few push-ups, I can feel the difference. It¡¯s taking much longer to get tired, and I can feel that my muscles are actually working better through magic. Man, this world is amazing! (a few hours later, at morning) It seems that the nights here are a bit longer. Is this planet bigger than earth? It seems to be¡­ anyway, I will try to keep track of the time during the day to see if the day is indeed longer. I get up, go to the bathroom that¡¯s in my room. Something that¡¯s incredible are the bathrooms of this world, they have magical toilets and magic bathtubs. Simply amazing. Since I¡¯m completely drenched in sweat, I take a quick bath with cold water to start the day and dress some clothes that are in the wardrobe of this room. (Fafnir): ¡°Dammit, the pants are a bit short and the shirt is tight¡­¡± I dress in a pair of black pants and put up a white shirt. What is this? Wool? It seems that the technique used to make these was good, it¡¯s light and thin, and wear thin on a sunny day won¡¯t be a problem. The pants are a bit short, but aren¡¯t tight. The shirt isn¡¯t short either, but it¡¯s tight¡­ I don¡¯t think that it will rip, but certainly bothers me a little. Goddammit, it¡¯s showing my muscles way too much for my own taste¡­ should I dress the school uniform? It¡¯s on my size, and won¡¯t bother my movements like these clothes will¡­ I will try to talk with a maid from the castle, see if I can get someone to get some clothes on my size. I change to only the shirt and pants of my uniform, together with the shoes. Letting the button white shirt outside my pants and putting my belt, I get out of the room, and immediately almost bump into a maid, who looks at me flustered. (maid): ¡°H-hero-sama, please, follow me, the breakfast is ready.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Ah, sure. Thanks. Lead the way.¡± I say to her. As we walk, I ask her: (Fafnir): ¡°Sorry for bothering you with this, but could you please get some extra clothes for me later?¡± (Maid): ¡°Are the clothes mot of your liking, Hero-sama?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°No, that¡¯s not it¡­ it¡¯s because¡­ they don¡¯t fit¡­¡± I said slowly, a bit awkwardly. The maid stopped and looked at my body for a second. (Maid): ¡°I guess so¡­ Well, with such a big body, Hero-sama must be very strong!¡± She says cheerfully, guiding me through the corridor. I smile politely. (Fafnir): ¡°Please, you flatter me.¡± Chapter 11: Plans and Training (Fafnir¡¯s POV) I sat at the long table together with my classmates, more specifically, beside Akame close to the end of the table, a bit away from the others. Just enough to no cause any suspicious. Akame was dressed in simple clothes, a pair of leather brown pants and a wool, white shirt. She¡¯s also using boots made of soft leather. (Fafnir): ¡°Morning.¡± (Akame): ¡°Good morning, Fafnir-san. How are you doing?¡± she says, then, she notices my clothes ¡°The clothes weren¡¯t for your tastes?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°No, they didn¡¯t fit. Anyway, did you sleep?¡± (Akame): ¡°Barely, gathering information isn¡¯t easy after all. I¡¯m using to skip some sleeping hours, so no problem there.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°What did you get?¡± (Akame): ¡°Not much, the guards don¡¯t talk a lot between themselves. Not much information to get from them. I decided to make a map of the castle, it will take a while to complete. I¡¯m looking for any secret passages, but no progress in that whatsoever.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Alright. leave the information gathering to me. Focus in the making of the map. I also want you to search for anything related to the king, documents, connections, anything will be useful. I¡¯ve got a bad feeling about him.¡± (Akame): ¡°Do you think that he might cause problems?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°he¡¯s the problem, Akame. There¡¯s something with an unpleasant smell here, and I doubt that it will do any good for us.¡± (Akame): ¡°Alright, I got it. So, what we should do now?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Blend in. Train like heroes, talk like heroes, help like heroes. Give the image, and be ready to stab when something happens.¡± (Akame): ¡°Aye aye.¡± She says. I chuckle, and we finish eating. Then, we are taken to the training grounds, which seems to have a space just for us. A bit away from us, a group of knights is training with wooden swords. In front of us, a big guy is standing, wearing only pants, shirtless, exposing his muscles full of scars.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Smiling wildly, he said in a loud voice for the students in front of them. The girls are on the side, and all the boys, including the teacher, are in front of him. (Vergas): ¡°Good day all of you, I¡¯m your instructor in combat, Vergas. Today, I will look at your skill in combat. First you, Higaki-san, you said that you did some martial arts in your original world, right?¡± (Higaki): ¡°Yes, I was black belt in karate, halfway to my black belt in judo.¡± (Vergas): ¡°Well, I have no idea what that means, but it seems that you are a bit strong. Anyway, come here and stand in front of me, I will choose your opponent. Also, shirt off, it will hinder you in the fight if you¡¯re not using armor over it.¡± (3¡ã person POV) Higaki took off his shirt, causing some blushes from some girls. He¡¯s quite fit, with some muscles. Seeing this, Higaki doesn¡¯t smile, but gets a good sensation inside his chest. Then, Vergas said: (Vergas): ¡°You there, the big one. Come here, you will be Higaki¡¯s opponent.¡± He points to the tallest boy among the others, Fafnir. While Fafnir walk in their direction, Higaki glares at him. He¡¯s one of the boys in Higaki¡¯s list of hate, since he¡¯s popular with the girls, ogling too much attention. Higaki once beat the shit out of one guy taller than himself, someone with Fafnir¡¯s height will have problem facing such small opponent. (Higaki): ¡°This will be a piece of cake.¡± He almost smiled with scorn. Stopping in front of Higaki, he stays there. (Vergas): ¡°You too, shirt off. It¡¯s something that¡¯s easy to grab boy, it will be a problem for you.¡± Sighting, Fafnir answers. (Fafnir): ¡°Alright, just give me one second.¡± Then, he begins to take off his shirt. He¡¯s fit, with defined, lean muscles that are clearly full of strength, full of scars caused by slashes and some that seems made by bullets. Throwing his shirt on the ground, Fafnir sights. Most of the girls watching blush strongly, and Akame gives a small whistle. Seeing that, Shinra blushes and looks away, with her heart beating strongly, to the point that she thought that her heart could burst out from her chest. (Shinra): ¡°I knew that he was strong. How did he get those scars?¡± Seeing Fafnir, Akame smiled and whistled, earning her a glare from Fafnir. Crossing his arms, he looked at Vergas, waiting. (Vergas): ¡°Wow, there¡¯s a seasoned warrior¡­ alright, the first one to fall or get immobilized loses, and the winner goes to the next match. Begin!¡± Higaki took pose and waited, trying to get Fafnir when he attacked. Fafnir un-crossed his arms and began to walk in his direction, stopping at two steps of distance. And there he stood, waiting. After a few seconds, Higaki lost his patience, and attacked, going in his direction. Suddenly, a hand covered his face. Fafnir jumped OVER him, with a hand holding his face. Falling behind him, he gave a light kick in his knees in a swift movement, making Higaki fall on the ground, without understanding what happened. (Vergas): ¡°Higaki lost! Haha, first time that I have seen something like that!¡± Higaki wet away, back to the boys, feeling angry for have lost, without being able to even react. Then, the next one that Vergas choose was Taichi. Stopping in front of Fafnir, he immediately advanced without losing time. Throwing a punch, he was faster than he ever was. The status boost is incredible¡­ but¡­ Stepping aside, Fafnir avoided the punch, grabbing the wrist of the arm of Taichi, at the same time he kicked the legs of Taichi and making him spin once in the air, falling on his butt, confused and a bit dizzy. After that, it was a sequence of easy wins for Fafnir. Seeing that, Vergas thought: (Vergas): ¡°This turned out to be pointless¡­ he¡¯s too strong¡­¡± Chapter 12: Weapon Training(Fail) And Magic Classes (Part 1) (3¡ã person POV) After that pointless thing with the others, Vergas announced: (Vergas): ¡°Alright, now we will divide you guys in pairs, dudes and ladies won¡¯t pair up together. You guys will practice with weapons for now on, since you guys need to learn how to defend yourselves!¡± He says, while two knight bring in some weapon racks. On them, a lot of wooden weapons. As they get their weapons, the number of guys leave one alone by default, Fafnir. Seeing that, Vergas approach him and says: (Vergas): ¡°Hey, big guy. They left you out? You didn¡¯t choose a weapon either.¡± Fafnir just smiled wryly, saying: (Fafnir): ¡°I already know how to use one, so I didn¡¯t pick one up. Also, I don¡¯t think that I would be a good opponent for the guys of my class¡­¡± Vergas just laughs, and says while smiling: (Vergas): ¡°Well, I guess that I will be the judge of that, if you know how to use a sword or not then! When you need a sparring partner just tell me, ok?¡± He says, walking to the weapon rack and taking two swords. A one-handed sword for himself and a bastard sword for Fafnir, that looks like a one-handed sword in his massive hands. Fafnir sighted. He knows that Vergas isn¡¯t the type that gives up easily. Everybody can see that. Raising his sword, Vergas looks at Fafnir with a serious light in his eyes, prepared to fight seriously. Fafnir sights, and holding the wood sword in his right hand, he points it at Vergas. Vergas looks at Fafnir, feeling a strange pressure. (Vergas): ¡°This guy¡­ he¡¯s good.¡± He thinks. Certainly, the pressure that he feels from Fafnir is different from what he¡¯s used to. At his 45 years old, he¡¯s known as the strongest human to live at this moment. However, right now, he isn¡¯t so sure about it. (Vergas): ¡°It has been some time since I last faced an opponent on my level¡­ no, in terms of pure physical strength and technique he¡¯s clearly above me¡­ he¡¯s no normal kid, if I can even call him that. Well then, I guess that I have no other choice but using magic!¡± Silently he channeled mana to his wooden sword, taking another instance with it. Fafnir noticed something, a strange feeling coming from Vergas. However, he didn¡¯t had time to think, since Vergas immediately attacked. (Fafnir): ¡°I¡¯m having a nasty feeling¡­ anyway, it isn¡¯t good to clash with him right now. I¡¯ll avoid he¡¯s attacks until I figure what to do!¡± Fafnir stepped to the side as Vergas slashed vertically and downwards. As Fafnir avoided his attack, Vergas immediately attacks again, this time sweeping to the side, making Fafnir backstep. Fafnir looks shocked to the cut on his shirt, even if the blade missed it by at least 40 centimeters. (Fafnir): ¡°As I imagined, he did something to the sword. Is that magic?¡± As he avoids more attacks, he analyses the wooden sword in Vergas hands. As he focusses, he sees a very faint energy surrounding the wood sword. Widening his eyes, he finally is sure that it¡¯s indeed magic. Smiling, he thinks: The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. (Fafnir): ¡°Well Vergas, you are taking this sparring a bit too seriously¡­ well then, allow me to pay you in the same coin!¡± As he avoids Vergas attacks, he focuses his mana, ad channels it to the sword. Of course, in a much more crude and unrefined way. Fafnir is aware of this, so he channels a bigger amount then Vergas. Vergas widens his eyes as he clearly sees the mana seeping out of the wood in Fafnir¡¯s hand. Suddenly, Fafnir¡¯s sword disappears in front of his eyes, and his body reacts by pure instinct, blocking over his head. A heavy impact falls on his hands, and he¡¯s barely able to make the sword slide along his blade, falling to the side. He thinks about countering, but a truck hits him. No, not a truck, it was Fafnir, hitting him with a shoulder charge, sending him flying almost five meters back. He recovers his balance in the air and manage to land in his feet, however, when he looks to Fafnir, and sees him waving the sword in his direction, slashing the air. For a fraction of second, he wondered why he did that, but he got his answer soon after. The air distorted, moving in his direction. Air pressure. Fafnir¡¯s slash created a wave of air pressure, infused with mana, but still air pressure. Not that Vergas never had seen something like this before, but he has seen only monsters do that before. Therefore, he wasn¡¯t prepared, and the air pressure wave hit him, making a strong ¡°BOOM¡±, raising a lot of dust. Of course, everyone stopped what they were doing since the fight started, staring in silence. The dust settled slowly, revealing Vergas, bruised all over his body with blood coming out from the corner of his mouth. Vergas smiled as Fafnir asked: (Fafnir): ¡°Did I go too far on you?¡± (Vergas): ¡°No, it just looks worst than it seems. Only my skin is hurt, I protected what¡¯s inside with magic.¡± He said, surprising Fafnir as his bruises started to heal slowly, but fast enough to be able to see with the naked eye. Fafnir nods, saying: (Fafnir): ¡°Neat trick.¡± (Vergas): ¡°Yeah, it saved my ass a lot of times. And what are you guys looking at?! Back to training!¡± He screamed to the other students, who hastily scram back to their training, still finding hard to believe and whispering among themselves what they just saw. Mainly, four figures were thinking than most people. First, their teacher, Higaki. (Higaki): ¡°Holy fuck¡­ that kid is a monster! Thank god he didn¡¯t take me seriously!¡± Second, Taichi. (Taichi): ¡°Why is he so strong? I can¡¯t believe that even being the one with the Hero title I¡¯m weaker than him¡­¡± Third, Shinra. (Shinra): ¡°Oh my god, such power! Dexterity! Technique! It¡¯s so amazing!¡± And finally, Akame: (Akame): ¡°As expected of Fafnir-san. To imagine that he would master magic so quickly! I¡¯m barely able to perceive it, but he already learned how to use it in combat!¡± Vergas, now completely healed, approached Fafnir, who is looking to the wooden sword on his hands, full of cracks and about to break. As the Captain approached, Fafnir said: (Fafnir): ¡°I need a weapon that won¡¯t break if I use.¡± (Vergas): ¡°Well, although I do know a thing or two, I¡¯m not a master of magic. From this training session, you guys will go to the magic class with the Head Royal Magician of the kingdom. Ask about that.¡± The chatted for a bit, trading pointers about combat until the training was over. Fafnir dressed his shirt as the rest of the boys in his class and everybody walked to the castle again, this time, to a wide classroom. Fafnir walked a bit behind from his classmates, with only Akame by is side as his classmates seemed a bit weary of him, although there was clear admiration on their eyes. As they walked, Akame asked in a low voice so that her classmates wouldn¡¯t hear them talking. (Akame): ¡°So, Fafnir-san, how did you use mana like that?¡± (Fafnir): ¡±Genetics, Akame, genetics. I¡¯ll tell you in detail later, but first, we should focus on the present task.¡± (Akame): ¡°Alright, what should we do?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°This is a great chance to acquire combat strength and support while we are in the royal palace. Don¡¯t miss one magic class and practice every day. I¡¯ll try to make some connections on the castle with some nobles, but meanwhile, I want you to find any way to make a lot money quickly.¡± (Akame): ¡°Why is that?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Because no matter what we do, we will need a lot of cash to accomplish. Going to the demon continent certainly won¡¯t be easy and relying on the king is out of question. We need funds to do whatever we can with the best equipment possible.¡± (Akame): ¡°Understood.¡± As their talk finished, they arrived at the classroom where they will be instructed by the teacher. And then she walks in. a really tall woman, around 1,95 meters tall. Her skin is dark gray, with silvery hair and a gorgeous face, full of nobility and confidence, although a bit cold. Her silky white hair goes straight down to her butt, glittering slightly to the natural light coming in through the windows. Her body has wonderful curves, with big breasts and wide hips, with thin waist, everything covered by a marvelous white and golden robe. She stops on the table in front of the table dedicated to the teacher. She turns to them and says, with her seductive and mature voice echoing through the room, making everyone in the room, including the girls, les Fafnir, have a slight dance with their hearts. Her eyes with black sclera and glowing silver irises scanning everyone as she says: (Faera): ¡°My name is Faera, Head Royal Magician and your new teacher for magic. Now, is Higaki here? It was told to me that he was the teacher of this class¡­¡± Chapter 13: Weapon Training(Fail) And Magic Classes (Part 2) (3¡ã person POV) Higaki immediately sprang up, almost jumping, saying with a sweet smile on his face. (Higaki): ¡°Yes, Faera-san, I¡¯m Higaki, this class¡¯s teacher. Do you need any help?¡± He asks, approaching the dark elf and extending his hand for a handshake. However, the elf doesn¡¯t take his hand, frowning lightly, clearly bothered. Higaki, however, doesn¡¯t lose the smile, saying as he retracts his hand: (Higaki): ¡°What do you need?¡± (Faera): ¡°Yes, I need you help with some things on this first class. Could you help me to give an example to the class?¡± (Higaki): ¡°Yes, whatever you want.¡± He said, in a suggestive tone that slipped by most students but Akame and Fafnir, who looked at each other with strange faces. Faera took a sphere out of nowhere. It¡¯s a crystal ball of the size of a head. Showing to the class, she explained: (Faera): ¡°This is an affinity orb. It will show the elemental affinity of your magic and the rank. The ranks vary from F, the lowest rank possible, allowing only basic magic, and SS the highest possible. You guys don¡¯t have to worry, as heroes with the blessing of the gods, you will have at least one at rank A, an extremely high level of affinity.¡± She laid down the sphere. (Faera): ¡°Mister Higaki, please, touch the sphere.¡± Higaki nodded, touching the sphere. It started to glow while, and a letter appeared inside the sphere, an A. after a few seconds, it stopped glowing and stayed that way. (Faera): ¡°You can take off your hand now, mister Higaki. The white light means holy attribute, and the letter is your affinity rank. Please, form a line and touch the sphere. If you have more than one affinity, the glow will change to another element after a few seconds.¡± The students got up one by one, walking to test their affinities. Everyone had one or two attributes, all on the A rank. And finally, he time of the idol trio came. First, Mary approached and touched the sphere. It started glowing white, with an A, green with an S and blue with an A. Faera widened her eyes, saying: (Faera): ¡°Holy element with an A, wind element with a rare S and a water element with an A! Miss Mary, you have in your hands an amazing talent!¡± Mary smiled, blushing a little with the praise from the tall elf. Next, Tsubaki Shinra touched the sphere, a bit nervous. The sphere then started to glow with a white with an A, red with an S and brown with an A. (Faera): ¡°Oh, one more rare case! Holy element with an A, fire element with an S and earth element with an A! very good Miss Shinra!¡± She says, with a gentle smile. Next, before Taichi, Akame touched the sphere. First, it glowed black with an S, white with an A and green with an A.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. (Faera): ¡°Oh my, a rare shadow element with an even rarer S, holy element with an A and wind element with an A! Miss Akame, you¡¯re a rare find!¡± She said, making Akame smile. Taichi then stepped forward, with only Fafnir left to touch the sphere. The sphere firstly glowed in white with an S, golden with an S and cyan with an A. (Faera): ¡°Mister Taichi, you¡¯re an even rarer finder! Holy element with an S, sacred element with an S and ice element with an A!¡± (Higaki): ¡°Sacred element?¡± He asked, Fafnir being the only one to detect a bit of sourness on his voice. However, he was also curious, by pure academical reasons. After all, he wanted to know the difference between sacred and holy, since they sound like the same thing. (Faera): ¡°The sacred element is something close to divine power, stronger than the holy element, and different front the holy element that can only affect shadow element creatures. However, the sacred element not only affect shadow element creatures, it also hurts severely creatures with the dark element. It¡¯s rarely seen in ranks above D, and almost neve on an A. So yours, on the S, is the first after the Pope.¡± She said. As Taichi nodded to himself, Faera looked at the last ¡°student¡± to come and make his test. A really, really big guy, even taller than her. To an dark elf like her, who can detect magic by looking at it, looking into Fafnir¡¯s eyes was like looking into two floodlights of power. Unable to look to him directly into the eyes, her cheeks turned a shade of gray darker when she asked him to come forward. Fafnir approached, ignoring the blushing elf and Higaki¡¯s glare and touched the sphere. First, it glowed golden, with an S, dark purple with an SS, electric blue with an S, red with an S and crimson with an S. Faera widened her eyes as she said: (Faera): ¡°What the hell¡­ Fafnir¡­ right?¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Yeah. So, what are my elements?¡± (Faera): ¡°W-well¡­ Sacred element with an S, darkness element with an SS, tie first ever seen in a creature that has no demonic origin, thunder element with an S =, fire element with an S and crimson¡­ if I¡¯m not wrong¡­ it is¡­ draconic aspect¡­ d-d-draconic aspect, with an S¡­¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Darkness and draconic aspect? Can you explain those to me please?¡± (Faera): ¡°O-of course. First, darkness element is the opposite of Sacred element, a tad lower than demonic aspect, but stronger than shadow element. You can make some crazy things with it, including summoning and taming.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Alright. It doesn¡¯t have any evil power, does it?¡± (Faera): ¡°No, shadow element and darkness element don¡¯t have any evil power, only the demonic aspect has it. However, only demons have it. The strangest thing is that you also have an S on sacred element, which should be impossible¡­¡± Fafnir interrupted her from going sidetracked and asked: (Fafnir): ¡°We can theorize about that later when we are by ourselves, but for now, what about draconic aspect?¡± (Faera): ¡°O-okay. Well, an aspect is different from an element. When it evolves enough, an element changes into an aspect. It¡¯s basically like a race change from one to another. For example, if a human acquires plant magic, and eventually it changes to nature affinity, and then to nature aspect, he could transform into an elf or another race related to nature.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°So in my case¡­¡± (Faera): ¡°it¡¯s a rare case, that I can say for sure. To have draconic aspect¡­ you would need a lifetime evolving feral magic¡­ well, as you said, this is for another time, when we alone-¡° She stopped herself, finally understanding what he said and what it could mean when he said, ¡°alone with you¡±. She blushed a little before composing herself. She didn¡¯t know what was affecting her. Something about him made her uncomfortable. (Faera): ¡°Well, anyway, I will start instructing you kids in magic.¡± She said. Higaki, hearing her, said with an awkward smile. (Higaki): ¡°Sorry for the rudeness, Faera-san, but could you not call me kid, please? I just hit my forties.¡± Faera raised an eyebrow, saying: (Faera): ¡°Well, I just hit my fifties, so to me, you¡¯re still a kid. After all, all elves live for more than one thousand years.¡± (Fafnir): ¡°Wow, I¡¯m older than a dark elf¡­¡± Higaki immediately shut up with that, not daring humiliating himself more than this in front of the students, mainly in front of the girls. (Faera): ¡°Well then, if all of you return to your seats, that includes you, Mister Higaki, I will start your magic lessons.¡± As they returned to their seats, Higaki a bit reluctant and Fafnir a bit hesitant as his mind was wandering around the whole draconic aspect thing, Faera started the magic lessons. (Faera): ¡°Magic, as you know, allows the user to manipulate the elements and even aspects of reality, and even change you in a fundamental way. However, magic is much more than that. There is a saying that magic is the art that the gods used to create the world. We, mages, tap into that realm. We manipulate mana, the supreme energy that flows in every living thing. So, the first step, is to learn how to feel mana in the air. First, close your eyes and clear your mind. With your affinities the mana will come naturally.¡± Everybody closed their eyes, concentrating. Fafnir also closed his eyes, exercising what he already did. After all, it doesn¡¯t hurt to practice.
