When Tresuria joined the others at a table in the main room, everyone stared at the new pet plant, which already had Tresuria’s height. It looked more like a muscular man than a plant. Or in lack of a better explanation, a bodybuilder tree.
She sat on the empty chair near Nozomu, and the big pet sat on the floor behind her.
Draiky got up from his sitting position near Nozomu and went to him, reaching with his open hand for a greeting. Oaky carefully held the tiny hand and gently shook it.
Draiky went to his place near Nozomu again, and he asked while looking back at the enormous pet, “You made a new one? That quick? He looks stupidly strong!”
“Yes, this one cheated a little. Normally, a pet plant takes longer to grow, but this on
In the morning, Nozomu came running to the main room, with Draiky right behind him.The others were almost finished eating, and he asked the moment he sat down, “Why didn’t anyone wake me up? I fell asleep!”Robert Keskula answered after taking a sip of his tea. “I tried to call you, but you mumbled something like ‘go die somewhere’ and I stopped bothering. Hinen couldn’t even approach because Draiky wouldn’t let him, so we left and told him to wake you up if he could. Either he let you sleep, or you told him to go die as well.”Nozomu answered as he was gulping down a piece of bread. “I don’t remember any of that, but I am sorry. I guess it was beca
Almost two hours had passed, and the other students were also near the wall of the Academy, but at a safe distance from the two Dragons, not daring to approach too much. The only one that tried had to run as fast as he could when Hinotsume threw a small Fire Ball to where he was, just to scare him. He could tolerate Nozomu and his friends, but more meat sacs nearby? That was too much for the easily annoyed Fire Dragon.The noise of riders on horses or carriages arriving at the front of the Academy indicated that the parents of the new students were arriving, so everyone went to meet them. Except for Nozomu and Draiky, who stayed with the two sleeping Dragons.The students returned with their parents, at least the ones that came to see the Dragons.The nearby conversations awoke Hinotsume, and he mumbled as he
The noise of a big group approaching called the attention of Nozomu and Taisetsuna.The Principal was walking next to Princess Mere, with all her court behind her.When the other students and their parents noticed her, they all bowed to her.She signalled with her hand for everyone to get up, and after disguisedly winking at Koyaga Azusake, she smiled at Nozomu. “It seems that you and Taisetsuna once again accomplished something unbelievable. Not only did you both exterminate another horde of Goblins that could attack the Capital one of these nights and kill many people, but you also defeated two Dragons in a fight, which no one had ever done before. Care to explain to me how you did that?”Before Nozomu and Taisetsuna could say a word, Hino
Rampage and Furnace stood to her left, and she smiled at them before addressing the crowd. “I wish to congratulate the new students of the Academy of Adventurers. For centuries, this Academy has been a beacon to the World as the major starting point in the career of an Adventurer. People from all over the World have come here to study and learn for an entire year, and after each graduation, new legends were born. I have great expectations of you all, but today, I shall name a few and explain why I chose to talk about them.”The new students looked at each other, wondering whom she was referring to. The Principal wondered why she decided to change her usual speech because, until that day, she never did that.The Princess made a slight smile and explained, “Tomiga Yurao, a Lion-kind. In the long list of students this Academ
While her entire court was outside looking at the Dragons, and the parents were with their kids, Princess Mere was in the Principal’s office, talking with him.She sighed, and explained, “I understand your concern, but as soon as you sent me the message yesterday about what happened, I took the necessary diligence. By this hour, all the countries have received my message about Hinotsume and Mizukonta being defeated by Taisetsuna and her Party. I also explained in that message the vow that the Dragons made a long time ago about not meddling in the business of other beings, but I am well aware of the implications of having two Dragons staying in our country. The Empire probably already knows, and that will definitely make them nervous, but considering what happened to the Emperor’s grandfather, he won’t risk an invasion. He might have thought about it over the past few years
When the Princess got near their court, they were still on the field, talking amongst themselves and looking at the Dragons, surprised by seeing them peacefully laying on the ground, talking with Asadate and Takanari, with both of them seated on Mizukonta’s tail.The students were in groups with their parents, and Viscount Robert dragged Taisetsuna to introduce her to some young Nobles that she hadn’t met in the Castle.Diana Olesk was in the group of Noble girls, and she spoke with a slight frown when she saw Taisetsuna arrive, “Our class just got a new addition… It is a pity that the Princess grants Noble titles left and right, lately, something that her father never did.”Before Taisetsuna could say a word, Robert answered, “I don’t understand why you
After lunch, Nozomu and the others were on the open field again. He called for Robert Keskula to approach and explained what the Princess wanted him to do together with Takanari and Asadate, who were again near him and the two serious-looking Dragons.Robert gave a slight smile and said, “It will be a great honour to fulfil that task. I don’t think we will have time this afternoon to visit many countries, but maybe we will manage to get to the ‘Kingdom of Garam’ and the ‘Kingdom of Gulvanbo’. Their Kings can then send messages to the other countries to reassure them.”Asadate Sumomi gulped and said, “I… am not sure if I am ready for such a task. The Princess often teaches Takanari and me, but what if the King asks something, and we don’t know how to answer…”
Flying at a tremendous speed, Hinotsume and Mizukonta arrived at the ‘Kingdom of Garam’ in almost two hours.The two sisters had a blast the entire time, enjoying the scenery and the sensations. As for Robert Keskula, he was thinking about the meeting with the Kings, and he only occasionally answered the excited questions from the two young girls.For the last twenty minutes, they were at a great altitude, flying over the ‘Kingdom of Garam’ towards the Capital, as Robert had pointed out the moment they crossed the border. The Castle was on top of a hill, standing tall above the big Capital below.As the Dragons were getting near, they started their descent towards the Castle, and that alerted the guards that were on the top of the walls. The alarm sounded, guards were rushing to the walls, and Mizuko
