"Snow Sky-Dog, I have some news to share with you that I believe will bring you great joy when you hear it!""What news is that, my master, Water Ancestor of the Gods?""You'll be surprised, Snow Sky-Dog!""Please, just tell me, my master, there's no need for theatrics.""Mizuchi Haruka has brilliantly completed an exceedingly difficult test in the 'Chamber of Trials.' Much like you and Kurogami Masayuki, she selected a magical power system capable of countering the magical prowess of 'Steel Dragon' Ryujin Tetsu.""Oh! My master, your news doesn't shock me! I've known Mizuchi Haruka for quite some time, so I understand her character. It's just a minor challenge for her, nothing that could pose a difficulty, my master.""A minor challenge? Am I mistaken, Snow Sky-Dog? That fearsome chamber has defeated many mighty gods who were once students of this academy, Snow Sky-Dog!""Even so, it's only a minor challenge for three mighty gods like us, my master!"The Water Ancestor of the Gods fe
"Mizuchi Haruka, Kurogami Masayuki, you two, get ready. In a little while, the three of us will head to the restaurant we often visit in the Human World to meet our dear friend, Seraphina Frostwind," Snow Sky-Dog said urgently.Mizuchi Haruka was sipping a cup of chamomile tea, silently thinking:"Hmph, dear friend, huh? She's only dear to you, not to me. She's my rival! Snow Sky-Dog, just because of your womanizing nature, now I have to dislike Seraphina Frostwind. If you can't love both me and Seraphina Frostwind at the same time, then I can consider her as my sister now.""Right now, Snow Sky-Dog?" Kurogami Masayuki asked, not yet finished with his breakfast."We don't need to hurry, but we should start preparing now to be on time. You two, get ready. Shortly, we'll be at the familiar restaurant in the Human World. Today is also Seraphina Frostwind's birthday, and coincidentally, it's the first anniversary of us becoming her friends!" Snow Sky-Dog winked at Kurogami Masayuki and Mi
"Haizza, Snow Sky-Dog, your human companion certainly knows how to tease us! She, Seraphina Frostwind, when she goes on dates with you, she's always punctual, but when this meeting involves Mizuchi Haruka and me, she makes all three of us wait in exhaustion." Kurogami Masayuki spoke as he sipped his wine in small sips."Haizza, elder brother, please be patient a little longer! Seraphina Frostwind is a beautiful girl; for a beautiful girl, meticulous makeup and selecting the perfect outfit before going out takes a lot of time. And it's very likely she, like me, wants to stand out as the most beautiful girl in this restaurant, the most outstanding in today's date, in terms of beauty! So, we should be a bit understanding and try to wait a little longer patiently." Mizuchi Haruka spoke, half-mocking Seraphina Frostwind and half-seemingly defending her. No one in this meeting could understand Mizuchi Haruka, the beautiful and wise goddess, whether she was attacking Seraphina Frostwind pers
"The unfamiliar man! Who are you? Why do you appear in this upscale restaurant today? What do you speak to us for?" Snow Sky-Dog stared straight into the mysterious man's eyes, black as black pearls, and spoke with a tone mixed with suspicion and indignation."Oh, don't concern yourselves too much about me! Just consider me a regular customer of this restaurant! Consider me here to enjoy the delicious food and drinks this restaurant has to offer!""I cannot be mistaken! This unfamiliar man resembles 'Steel Dragon' Ryujin Tetsu, and 'Demon Dragon' Kamui, he is a member of the dragon clan. I know this because he emits the 'aura of a dragon'. It's the distinct aura of that scoundrel Ryujin Tetsu! That aura carries something akin to almost absolute power, yet within that terrifying strength lies cruelty, cunning, and a disdain for morality, even displaying the master's calm face when trampling upon ethics. That was my first impression when I met 'Steel Dragon' Ryujin Tetsu! Initially, I w
"Things seem to be taking a turn for the worse, Snow Sky-Dog, my apprentice!" The Water Deity of the Gods furrowed his brows tightly and silently gazed at Snow Sky-Dog with an expression of concern."My master, as I see it, everything in life is a danger within, yet also an opportunity. I believe we should not be too pessimistic! Eventually, darkness will fade away; only light and noble beauty will endure ahead. Seek the light, and darkness shall not find you.""Oh, Snow Sky-Dog, it seems you possess not only a deeply philosophical perspective but also many life aphorisms. Why don't you articulate your most cherished thoughts, the ones you've expressed to all the gods as students of this academy and before all the gods who are the teachers of this academy, Snow Sky-Dog?""It's simple, my dear master! On the battlefield, if one cannot adjust the rhythm, they're merely an amateur. A true professional knows when to attack and when to retreat.""Well spoken, Snow Sky-Dog! Now, stand on th
"Mizuchi Haruka, why have you come to me today?" The Water Deity of the Divine asked Mizuchi Haruka, though perhaps he already knew the answer."Master, I have come to seek your counsel regarding my feelings for Snow Sky-Dog! You may perceive me as a selfish goddess, and perhaps I detest admitting it myself, but the truth is I feel uneasy about Seraphina Frostwind's presence in the love triangle between Snow Sky-Dog, her, and me.""Oh, Mizuchi Haruka, this is entirely normal! Whether you are a man or a woman, when sharing a lover with another, jealousy and discomfort are bound to arise in your mind.""Master, does that mean the darkness of wickedness is slowly encroaching upon my soul and mind?""Oh, Mizuchi Haruka! Do you know why a stone sinks while a boat floats on the water? It's because the stone looks down. The darkness beneath the water is vast and formidable. The boat also senses the darkness, every second, every minute, as the darkness tries to possess and pull it down. But th
"Kurogami Masayuki, are you once again the earliest riser in this academy?" The Water Master of the Divine Ones held a cup of ginger tea in his hand. Though he sipped the ginger tea slowly and peacefully, his eyes were fixed on the handsome face of Kurogami Masayuki. Since becoming a student of this academy, Kurogami Masayuki had become increasingly handsome, but behind that handsome face (masculinity not much inferior to the most handsome divine being in the academy, Snow Sky-Dog), lay a significant concern. This concern of Kurogami Masayuki was quite easy for a wise deity like his mentor to detect, as his mentor did not need to expend much time and energy to discern it."Yes, my mentor! I've come to your office today because there's conflict and turmoil in my mind that I find difficult to resolve. Truly, my mind and thoughts are in disarray, like a tangled thread! What I need most now is to unravel the confusion in my mind and thoughts. So I've sought you out, the wisest deity in all
"Snow Sky-Dog, a few days ago, your elder brother and sister, Kurogami Masayuki and Mizuchi Haruka, sought my advice. Are you here today seeking guidance as well, Snow Sky-Dog?""Indeed, my master, Water Ancestor of the Gods, you have only guessed partially right! While I do seek your advice for myself, that is not the primary reason I've come to your office today. The most crucial reason for my visit is to inquire about a particularly formidable character, about whom you might possess information.""The Right Arm of the Dragon King - 'Desert Dragon' Ryujin Sabaku, you wish to learn about this deity, correct, Snow Sky-Dog?""Indeed, so! Master, you truly are a seer and a sage of the world of gods!""Snow Sky-Dog, heed my every word! 'Desert Dragon Ryujin Sabaku was once a student of this academy. He delighted in sparring with fellow students. He was as proud and defiant as 'Steel Dragon' Ryujin Tetsu, but more cunning. If 'Steel Dragon' Ryujin Tetsu is a sharp blade that cuts steel as
