Taisetsuna raised her hand and asked, “Principal, when are the Dragons supposed to arrive?”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgw4eM17Gt
“They normally appear by this time on that field where the targets were. Are you sure you and your Party want to face them? You are all covered in blood, and you seem too tired and almost ready to faint from tiredness.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMftwwQSR4
She took a few vials of Healing Potion from her bag, distributed them among her friends, and gulped down half a vial, feeling her body full of energy and Magic again.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ErM0sOGHw
While the others were also drinking their Potions, she smiled at the Principal and said, “We are not tired. Those Goblins were just a nice warm-up. We just need a few minutes to put the waggons somewhere, and we will be good to go.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFyh1ulAID
“Okay… sure… Put the waggons in the shade of those trees, near the horses… Are you sure you want to… I see… Very well, we will go to the field. Come when ready.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXrJ8FYy6J
While the Principal, the Teachers, and the other applicants, now turned into students, were going to the field, Taisetsuna and her group went to put the waggons near the horses.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuzyiNprH1
While Nozomu was untying the waggon poles from the Unicorns, Taisetsuna explained, “According to what we found out, the Dragons can use Water and Fire Magic. My plan is that we and the Unicorns will do what we can to distract the Dragons and leave room for Nozo to approach them. Nozo, leave the sword and the buckler. You will need your hands free to punch them and punch them hard. We must also do everything we can to force them to fight on the ground. If they go to the sky, we will be at a disadvantage. For that, I am counting on Rampage and Furnace. You guys take them down if they fly. Tresuria and Chuji, you two try to tie their big mouths to prevent them from shooting their Magic. If you can, tie their wings, tail, and legs as well.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukbvfvNEE2
Hinen Sukemoru asked, a bit puzzled, “Will Nozomu attack them with no weapons? With only his fists? He is sure to die!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFCsp1wbrY
“No, he will not. You saw the Goblins couldn’t even hurt him, right? Think of the Dragons as overgrown Goblins, if you want. He got this. We only need to distract the Dragons so that he can approach. When Nozo gets to a punch reach, the Dragon is sure to lose.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1VFuCLQrP
Tresuria timidly raised her arm and said, “Draiky can’t fight them if one Dragon uses Fire Magic. Like all Gailies, this one is also not very good against Fire Magic. It is our weakness, like any other plant out there.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPccbg9kY0
Chuji spoke with her arms crossed over her chest. “I will protect Tresuria if needed. Draiky can be near us.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcquDSyH0gt
Nozomu looked at the clacking pet plant that was punching the ground with his hands made of vines. “He doesn’t look happy with that plan; he looks like he wants to fight. This little guy can stretch his arms, for instance? That could be useful.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JUaOKMd4t
Tresuria nodded and said, “Yes, he can do that. And if he loses one, he makes another grow in its place. Draiky is connected to this one, and can use this one’s Magic.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHa4HwMyhz
Nozomu grabbed the angry pet plant and put him over his shoulders. “Good, he will be with me then. I will throw you at the head of one Dragon, Draiky, and you can cover his eyes with your vines. Like that, he will be blind and won’t know where to attack.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGeSB2lV5e
Robert Keskula went to his horse and took from the saddle his long shield, which had a tear shape. He took one deep breath and said, “If I die because of this, I just want to say it was an honour to fight at your side, everyone. Except you, Hinen. I don’t like you. Shall we go get a couple of Dragons to join our Party?”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFW35pBT6f
Chujitsuna Hito put her bow and the quiver with the poisoned arrows tied to Robert’s horse and placed one arm over the nervous Gailie. “Come on, cheer up! Even if you don’t defeat them, we just need to last for ten minutes. As long as we keep on making Rock Walls, we will last way more than the ten minutes needed.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeE3s3Ajqo
Tresuria slowly nodded and tapped her cheeks. She made a serious face and answered. “Yes. This one will be an Adventurer, and her name will go down in History as the most amazing Gailie Adventurer that ever lived! This one won’t die today, or anytime soon!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdxNbLvFce
“That’s the spirit! Lead on, oh powerful Leader! We are ready to kick some Dragons’ butts!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXOeaQNZYF
Taisetsuna grabbed a bunch of vials of Healing Potions and gave two to each of them, and five to Nozomu. She spoke in a low voice to him, “Be careful. If you get hurt, drink one Potion and retreat. There is no need to die today. We already risked a lot on that mountain.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeGzoq838g
“I think I will be alright. If they can’t hit me with their Magic or even scratch me, there is not much to fear from them, right? Unless one of them grabs a huge rock or a tree and throws it at me, that is.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6glZ2JbwIV
They rushed to the field to wait for the Dragons with the other students and the Teachers.
Near the wall, together with the Principal and the Teachers they already knew, there were others. Guards, servants and cooks, and a Dwarf woman whom Nozomu remembered hearing something about. Teacher Muse Sirel, the Dwarf Fighting Teacher, and friend of Koyaga Azusake.
She had a serious face, and long, dark hair tied in a high ponytail. She was completely dressed in dark clothes, with her arms crossed across her chest, leaning against the wall behind her, and watching the group that was supposed to fight the Dragons.
Taisetsuna and her group stopped in front of the Teachers and faced forward to the open field in absolute silence.
After thirty minutes, they were still waiting. Feeling bored, Taisetsuna and her group was now seated on the floor, with Tresuria caressing Draiky’s round head, and Chujitsuna with her restrained Goblin near her, trying to feed him an apple while avoiding her fingers getting bitten by the screeching, angry Goblin.
Rampage and Furnace were near Nozomu, looking at the sky, searching.
When Robert Keskula and Hinen Sukemoru were already sleeping, leaning against each other’s backs, Rampage made a loud neigh, alerting everyone.
They all looked up to where he was facing and saw two blurry dark shadows approaching at an incredible speed.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKmdg8qOiF
The Principal shouted from behind them, “Here they come, everyone! Let them land and make their usual speech. Then you can challenge them. Everyone else, absolute silence. Those two are not beings you want to disrespect!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0x69sULGz
From the middle of the students, an annoyed Lion-kind boy spoke, “As if they would stand a chance! Morons!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hMSmhgL9Q
His last words ended with a loud clanging sound because the Teacher Muse Sirel hit him.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUaUeBKbkK
Nozomu looked back and saw the boy rubbing his head, and the Dwarf Teacher was holding a frying pan in her hands and warning him, “Who are you calling a moron? I don’t see you in that group! From what I was told, you went to the forest and caught one miserable Fairy with your Party, and they came back with piles upon piles of dead Goblins, and scales and claws from two Drakes! Shut your mouth and look at them. You may learn something, dumbass!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaX3Y31Jvp
She then stared at Nozomu and shouted, “Where are you looking at? Focus! They are coming, and they are certainly looking at you and evaluating you and your friends! Try not to embarrass this Academy, will you?”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6LUKcxs2T
Nozomu looked at the approaching Dragons again and clenched his fists. Draiky was already on his shoulders, looking up and waiting.
Some minutes later, the Dragons hovered in circles over the field, and with powerful flaps of their wings, they slowed their descent and landed.
Taisetsuna gulped. They were huge. Both had rough skin, completely covered with thick and large scales that looked harder and stronger than the scales of the Drakes.
They were also bigger, like three times bigger than the Drakes. One was dark red, with spikes over his snout that went around it until his massive head. The spikes went along his back until the tip of his long bifurcated tail.
The other Dragon was dark blue, with smaller spikes, but he didn’t look any less deadly, and his tail ended in a big round spiked ball.
Their feet had massive claws, and they were seated on the ground, looking down at the group in front of them from almost ten-metre high.
They both lowered their bodies and walked towards the Academy on their four massive clawed feet. Two visions from nightmares, with big mouths full of sharp teeth and enormous eyes that were looking at each of the beings near the wall of the Academy.
They both came to a halt almost three metres from the group that was waiting for them, and everyone heard what they said inside their heads.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN2dWvQhIG
All except Nozomu, who looked at Taisetsuna when he heard her say, “Yes, we were waiting for you. And yes, these Unicorns are with us.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sNWZNIO5A
Nozomu frowned and asked, “They are talking to you? Because I didn’t hear a thing!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcuq5SwyGD
“Oh! Right… They are using some kind of weird Magic to speak directly to my head.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO9f5yYEWX
Nozomu frowned, and Tresuria confirmed, “This one also hears them. You don’t?”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx2bXmnOR6
“No, nothing, not even a whisper. Now what? Are they saying something? Why is that red one staring at me like that? Does he want to eat me or what?”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSatdkBDW8
Then, they all heard the big Fire Dragon speak, in a thundering voice, “You are strange, little Human. Why can’t you hear me in your mind? Am I forced to speak this hideous language of yours for you to understand me?”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooRLyz1x6l
Nozomu was covering his ears, protecting them from the loud voice, and he shouted back, “Lower your voice! It’s too loud! No one ever told you it is rude to shout at people? What kind of parents did you have that didn’t teach you good manners?”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rSXhg8gw7
The red Dragon faced the puzzled blue Dragon at his side and said, in a lower tone, “The nerve of that little meat sac! Ask me about my parents!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6lxx1PHqs
The blue Dragon spoke while staring at Nozomu, “Hinotsume, you should not let Humans annoy you so much. They are like tiny insects, and they die easily.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoifoNSstil
“I am not annoyed, Mizukonta, I am only baffled by the way this meat sac is talking!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fdHPLH2j9
Nozomu frowned and asked, “Who are you calling a meat sac, you overgrown lizard? Weren’t you supposed to be ancient? You have never learned how to treat other beings, or are you doing it on purpose to annoy me? Because two can play that game, you know?”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZaiTMbLeH
Hinotsume, the Fire Dragon, tilted his head a bit and said, “I am not familiar with that word, but it sounds like an insult, meat sac.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm4WuOtb8d
“You are not that bright, are you? Lizards are small reptiles that look too much like you, minus the wings. I used to smash them with my boots when I was little. I liked the sound they made when they popped!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWsrKBBUgU
The big Fire Dragon approached his head from Nozomu and said, “You are stupid, toothpick. If you are not careful, I might use your bones to clean my teeth after eating those Unicorns next to you.”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbfkGLaQ3L
Nozomu covered his nose and answered, “Man, your breath stinks! What did you eat, manure? You better go find a river to gargle your mouth! Or go see a Healer, because you smell dead inside and no one told you!”
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCM7NQPIkk
“You are pushing your luck way too much, meat sac! I can kill you in a single bite. Or I can just let my head fall over you and squash you like an ‘Ergy’. You sure are dumb, for annoying me this much! You don’t know how close you are to dying, do you?”
