Chapter 121 – Induction

000

Through the half-open curtains, a quiet room with the morning sunlight streaming in little by little.

Along with the chirping of birds coming from outside, Cleon’s mind was getting closer and closer to awakening.

When I go back to vague memories like how I got home last night.

After the long act with the twin sisters, I lead the body with subtle medicinal effects.

Back at Layla’s mansion with Caliburn on her back her…

While drinking the high-quality wine that Quon received as a reward for the Divinity Department…

Someone came to meet me there and-

I don’t remember anything after that.

Anyway, the moment I grabbed my aching head and put one arm on the bed to get myself up.

I felt a soft touch on my palm that was different from the softness of the cloth covering the seat, and I slowly turned my head.

“…Umm…”

The pink-haired girl who sleeps exhaling, leaking, leaking-

A small horn sprouted from its head her, and a fine lizard’s tail grew from its hip her.

No matter how you look at it, it was Cleon’s shirt of hers.

Below that, he was lying next to him, wearing nothing but pure white underwear.

Cleon realized a beat late that what her hand was touching was her chest.

“…”

Knock, just before you really realize what’s going on. Knock. And knocking on the door.

“Cleon-nim. I’ve prepared a change of clothes and breakfast.”

When Cleon’s eyes her widen as he came to his senses her perfectly at the sound of a voice calling him with a quiet yet clear and clear pronunciation.

She was to the point where she doubted that the academy she had been through until yesterday was not her dream.

I hurriedly get out of bed, first completely pull back the curtains and look outside. Fortunately, the academy’s residential area spread out.

That is-

“… Cleon? Are you still sleeping?”

The owner of the voice coming from outside and the Dragonian lying on his bed his [Yongin].

“Perdia…? Luti?”

It was that the two had come to the academy.

001

“Ahaha~ I’m sorry. I came to visit you all of a sudden, so I even had a lodging and meal~”

As Luti speaks while scratching the back of her head, her landlady her, Lila, takes a sip of her coffee and lets out a sigh.

“That’s why we can’t just kick you out. That’s why we came here.”

“Thank you, Lila.”

In response to Ferdia’s greeting, Layla briefly replied, “Yes,” And nodded her head.

After a simple breakfast, Sasha and Quon went out to the academy early in the morning at Caliburn’s request.

Ruti and Perdia are staying at home and enjoying tea time. And Lila and Cleon.

Galatea must be enjoying her lately habitual morning bubble bath, and she had Innis standing by her side as if she were an attendant.

By the way, Innis said that she called Galatea ‘Galatea’s stepmother’ and that she was hit once.

Luti was laughing as she looked at Cleon as she twirled the teaspoon in her own teacup.

Cleon, who met her eyes at her felt gaze at her, gave her a slightly embarrassed look, and then she decided to ask what she should ask.

“What happened without contact?”

When Cleon asked such a question, Luti answered as if he had been waiting.

“Because she said in a letter she sent me a while ago that something pretty big happened! She came because she was worried as an older sister!”

“I think Cleon-nim is safe. I’m glad.”

As Per Dia added to Luti’s answer, Cleon recalled that she sent a letter to them after her case was over, which also served as a report on her current situation of her.

She said she came here as soon as she received the letter, although she arrived quite early.

“Are you okay with the guild master’s job?”

“No problem! I took care of all the paperwork for a week and left it with the kids.”

Ruti replies by drawing her V-ja as if she’s proud of her, and seeing her like that, her perdia claps her little hands and says, ‘You’re amazing, Luti-sama…’, And praises her.

How to say, it felt like the two of them had built up quite a friendship while not seeing each other.

Cleon then asks Ferdia.

“Perdiado. What about the councilor’s job?”

“The child who serves as her assistant asked her to leave it to her… That child, unlike the other children, is very interested in medical science. I begged you.”

What Ferdia is talking about is probably one of her children who, like her before, was raised as an assassin.

With the death of her ancestor her, Perdia would be the last to formally inherit the path of an assassin.

It seemed that the remaining children were heading towards the path they wanted.

“And, the children asked Cleon to express their gratitude for her.”

“…Me?”

Cleon answered with doubts about Perdia’s words her. Then, Perdia quietly closed her eyes and put her hand on her own chest as she spoke.

“Yes. All the children who were injured in the previous Albein raid are now fully recovered, and some start anew as new adventurers, while others make a living by helping the guild office to study various subjects. If it had not been for Cleon- nim’s help, everyone would have sunk into the darkness and lived without fulfilling what their ancestors wanted.”

“It’s… Not all my help.”

To her words her, Cleon scratches her cheeks as if embarrassed, but Perdia smiles softly.

“Someday, I hope that the children and I can be of help to Cleon-sama.”

As soon as it was about to flow in such a warm atmosphere, Perdia’s expression her became a bit stern.

“But before that, Cleon-sama must take good care of herself.”

“Yes, that’s right! Yesterday was a surprise. I thought the front door was open, but suddenly fell down in front of us and passed out, didn’t I?”

Ruthi nods her head as she recalls what happened last night.

It happened at the moment Cleon’s film cut off.

“Everyone was in a hurry. Layla held onto Cleon’s chest and cried out loud. ‘Cleon~ Don’t die~ I hate it!'”

“Now, wait! Rooty! What are you talking about! Me, I never did!”

Layla denies the revelation of her Luti her, blushing, but it turns out that Cleon also seems to have heard something like that in her fading consciousness her… She stays quiet thinking the same thing.

“Because all of you were quite drunk. Only Sasha-sama was fine. The reason for Cleon-sama’s collapse is that the components of the combination medicine remaining in her body her and the components of the wine combined, causing her body ‘s function to deteriorate temporarily.”

Cleon flinched at those words and recalled the events of yesterday, but she avoided his gaze as if he was trying to avoid expressing himself as much as possible.

“So. Instead of an antidote, they fed me some of my blood and stayed by my side all night to cast a recovery spell. How is it? Did you feel better when you woke up in the morning?”

“No, the hangover was still there…”

Certainly, the effects of the aphrodisiac did not remain, but the headache I felt when I woke up in the morning was definitely that of a hangover.

But Luti only tilted her head as if it were strange.

“Huh…? It’s strange. He must have burned all the poison in his body his…”

“Then, isn’t Luti-sama’s blood the problem? I read in a previous book that what kind of effect would happen if a human ingested the blood of a different race.”

“Dragon blood is different. It’s almost like a mass of pure magic. It’s a level higher than Cleon’s semen.”

At Ferdia’s words her, Laila shook her head and replied.

It was unavoidable that the comparison target was like that, but Cleon felt a bit complicated.

“Humans and dragons have a structure that never mixes. Even if a human consumes dragon blood, it won’t have any effect other than restoring mana and vitality.”

“I see… Then I’m even more concerned about the cause of the headache. Excuse me for a moment.”

Saying that, Perdia stood up from her chair and placed her hand on Cleon’s forehead.

Among her medical skills she possessed her was to briefly grasp the state of health of her subjects by making palpations.

Should I say that Cleon managed to control the magical energy he used yesterday to check Caliburn’s condition without using magical energy?

This skill, which instantaneously scans the pulse, blood flow, muscle condition, etc., Is the ‘weak spot’ of the target for assassins.

In other words, it is a useful ability that can be used to find a weak spot.

“Hmm… You don’t seem to have any physical problems. You’re really healthy.”

“If it’s Perdia, then it must be fine. In fact, her head doesn’t even hurt right now.”

Cleon talked to her as if to reassure her, and Perdia nodded her head at Cleon’s words and sat back in her seat.

“Okay! Then, it’s decided that the three of us enjoy the festival together with Cleon today, right?”

“Well… I thought so. Is there a place you want to visit in particular?”

To Cleon’s words, Luti nods her head in reply.

“Of course! It’s the sex department’s coffee shop!”

“No.”

“Why!? Why! Cleon, I heard you’re active in the sex department!”

Luti whined and clung to Cleon at Cleon’s resolute refusal her, but Cleon’s will her was firm.

“What about Ferdia?”

“I… As long as I can spend time with Cleon-sama… I don’t care where.”

“Ruti. Take the example of Perdia.”

“I also have fun wherever I am with Cleon! I want to go to a more enjoyable place!”

Leila looks at Luti like that and talks as if she is pathetic, and Luti raises her voice even more.

Could this be the appearance of a dragon that has lived thousands of years?

What would the adventurers of the guild who knew her as usual think of her when they saw her?

Luti hangs on Cleon for tens of seconds like that.

Next moment.

Keying-!

The sound rang in Cleon’s ears.

At the tinnitus that came without any warning, Cleon twitched and covered his ears her.

At the same time, Luti, who was holding onto Cleon’s crotch her, also stopped moving.

“…? What’s wrong? Cleon?”

Looking at Cleon, who suddenly covered her ears, Lila asked a strange question.

Apparently, Lila didn’t hear the sound of her just ripping.

“Are you okay? I have a headache…”

“Oh, no. It’s okay.”

She answers that to Perdia, but Cleon’s eyes are on Luti, who stands up from her seat and looks in one direction with an expressionless expression.

Her eyes were suddenly torn into vertical pupils, and she was staring there without even blinking.

That figure is not the girl who used her group her like a child until now, or the girl who is respected and loved by everyone as her guild master her.

A world disaster never seen before. It was the face of the ‘Dragon’.

“…Sorry, Cleon. As expected, the tea house is fine. Let’s go somewhere else instead.”

“…? Yes. I thought well.”

Cleon, who was a little overwhelmed by Luti’s spirit her as she spoke while looking at either side of her with her eyes wide open, answered like that.

Seeing the two of them, Ferdia seemed to be in trouble, but she put those doubts aside first.

002

After that, Luti maintained her attitude for a while, but soon returned to her usual self.

Cleon and Perdia were also worried about her change her, but first of all, because of the fact that she could n’t harm humans except for her counterattack due to the effect of the ‘Oath,’there was no reason why she would suddenly go on a rampage at the academy. I was relieved to confirm that there was no.

And, as planned, when the three of them went out to the academy together, on the second day of the festival, more tourists than yesterday visited the academy, and crowds of people filled the place.

“It’s amazing… It’s a sight you can’t see in Elessia.”

“There’s a fair amount of people coming in and out, but there’s a small number of people living there. Even if it’s a festival, people don’t get this far… Right, Luti?”

“…”

Cleon asks her Luti for consent, but Luti is looking in the same direction again at some point, making the same face as before.

“…Rutie!”

In the end, when Cleon, who could n’t see her appearance her, calls her her Luti’s name her out loud, Luti looks up at her Cleon her, shrugging her shoulders.

“Ah, I’m sorry. Cleon.”

“…What’s wrong? What the hell is that over there?”

Luti hesitates for a moment at Cleon’s words of her, but she opens her mouth while hesitating.

“Maybe… He came to visit us. To be precise… Me but. Come with me, Cleon.”

Saying that, Ruti’s hand that was holding Cleon’s hand was trembling slightly.

Cleon feels such a strange state of Luti himself and nods his head her thinking that it is an unusual thing.

And, Perdia, who was next to the two of her, asked her if she couldn’t leave Luti alone like that.

“May I… Go with you?”

“To be honest, I don’t recommend it that much… But I won’t stop it.”

In the end, Cleon and Ferdia make their way through the crowd in the direction Luti leads.

Looking at the academy as a whole, the current direction is the center of the academy, where the building of the Council of Elders and the Monad’s coffin are located.

If you walk in line with the steps of Luti, who walks forward without looking back, you will come out to the open central square before you know it.

The coffin of Monad seen up close also felt huge.

But Luti’s eyes are on the roof of Monad’s coffin.

It was directed towards a woman standing at the top of the most important building in the academy, where no one could easily get inside, looking down at the ground.

Even from a distance, her presence was clearly felt.

Long, white hair. Red eyes.

And, all over her body were black pants and a navy blue coat. And a maroon cloak. Although she was dressed as a male aristocrat, the sculpting of her face and body her was clearly female.

What stands out most of all is the organs grown from her body that humans do not have.

A pair of black horns splendidly sprang up from the temples and a reptilian tail grew from the waist of her.

The others around her were always living the same daily life as if no one had noticed the woman’s existence in her.

Luti looks at the woman and squeezes her Cleon’s hand into her.

“…Cleon-sama? Ruti-sama? Is there something there?”

Ferdia looked where her Luti and Cleon’s eyes were headed, but she seemed to see nothing in her.

“…”

Apparently, the only thing the woman could see was Luti and Cleon.

“Rutie, that’s-“

“That’s, I mean. It’s too much. Human.”

A voice suddenly came from beside her.

She, who had been on the roof of Monad’s coffin until a moment ago, was approaching Cleon at the same speed as if she had jumped through space.

Cleon hurriedly pulls her back and tries to step back from her, but she grabs Cleon’s wrist her and brings her finger her to her mouth her.

“Cleon-sama!”

It was only then that Perdia, who was able to see her womanly figure with her own eyes, hurriedly tried to protect Cleon.

Even faster than that, the woman’s mouth moved.

Kwadeuk!

There is a sound and sharp teeth dig into Cleon’s skin her.

No matter how disciplined she was, Cleon could n’t help but scream when the pain overtook her, as if her finger her had been cut out with a knife.

Her skin is torn, and her blood her oozes out.

The magic of the sharp wind blows towards such a woman like a weapon of Luti.

The woman looks at it, then takes two or three steps behind her, as if she is not interested in it, and runs her finger across her finger Cleon’s blood her from the corner of her mouth her.

“Ah… As expected. It’s mixed.”

Saying that, she was looking at Cleon and Luti with her half-open eyes.

“…Don’t do it here. There are too many humans here.”

Luti casts a healing spell on Cleon’s finger on her, and she looks at the academy’s students around her.

“…Hmm. You who were called the storm of annihilation. To think you cared about such a thing…”

“You…!!!!! If you call me by that name once again in front of me…!!!”

Life explodes from Luti’s body in her.

Perdia, who was supporting Cleon right next to her, was overwhelmed by her life force and nearly stopped her breathing.

The woman in front of her shakes her head as if nothing is wrong.

“It can’t be helped.”

And, the moment after she snapped her fingers her.

The four of you are somewhere other than where you were just now.

It had moved to a place that looked like a large meadow.

On top of the meadow where the cool breeze blows, the woman still talks to Luti with an expressionless face.

“Luteos. You must be well aware of your circumstances? If you have a sensor, bring it to us. That must have been one of your oaths.”

“…Letty. He’s not a sensor. In order for a sensor to awaken, he has to break his horn.”

Luti talks while glaring at her.

“I can’t lay my hands on Cleon-sama…”

Perdia stands in front of Luti and Cleon with her dagger out, holding her stance and glaring at the woman called Letty.

She, too, could keenly sense the difference between her Letty’s her and her her own her, even if she had n’t competed directly.

Perhaps, the woman in front of me is the strongest creature on earth, just like Luti, and the master of primordial magic.

What is called a ‘polyp’.

And yet, the imaginary figure of her her trembling her, her legs her planted on the ground, unwilling to step back from her.

Ruti puts her hand on Perdia’s shoulder.

“No, Perdia. If she points her weapon at her, that means she’s antagonizing her dragon.”

“Everything she says, human. She shows mercy just this once. Ignorance is not a sin.”

At Luti’s words, Perdia looked back at Cleon, but-.

Cleon also shakes her head, perhaps thinking that it would be prudent to follow Luti’s words here.

Perdia, indignantly, returned her dagger to her waist and stood next to Cleon.

Cleon looked at Letty while holding his cured finger on her and opened her mouth.

“… Who are you?”

“My name is Rhethios. I’m the stupid little sister over there, Lutios’ older sister, and one of the five dragons. Human. You’re the magic swordsman, Cleon, right? One of the few survivors of the cursed dark horse clan. The Fallen Hero. Beast Beast Lumberjack. Subjugator of the Ancient Demon Beast.”

“…To give you a title I haven’t heard so much. It’s an honor. Is it like a nickname that you dragons gave me?”

When Cleon replied to Letios, who spoke as if she knew about herself, Letios continued the conversation as if he did not care.

“We don’t remember every single human name, so it’s not a bad idea to consider it an honor to be remembered and called by a title.”

Luti looks at Cleon a little worriedly, but Rhetios doesn’t seem to be abruptly attacking like before.

“So, why did you come looking for me and Luti?”

“Because I felt the reaction. The reaction of the sensor.”

“…A sensor?”

When Cleon questioned a word he had never heard before, Letios looked at Luti.

“…A sensor is a very rare human being… A human who can mate with a dragon.”

“In pairs…? You mean they can be lovers?”

When Cleon questioned Luti’s explanation, Letios explained instead.

“…There are examples of some stupid dragons taking humans as partners during play, but most of their endings are unfortunate. They don’t have children, and they can’t overcome the difference in lifespan.”

“…”

It can’t be helped, but Cleon’s mind flashes past his affair with Luti.

“But the sensor is different. If you mate with dragons, you can make children, and you can enjoy a long lifespan like dragons by using a special method.”

Ruti answered that and looked at Cleon. Perhaps Luti was thinking the same thing.

“Am I the responder?”

“Yes.”

“No.”

And, Rhetios and Luti’s conflicting answers.

When Rhettios looks at Luti with a frown on his face her, asking what he’s doing, Luti also glares at Rhettios as if to kill him.

“Cleon… Is half a sensor, but not a full sensor. It is possible to impregnate our dragons, but it is impossible to enjoy the same lifespan as a dragon.”

“That’s… A subtle explanation of how to react.”

When Cleon said that, Letios let out a sigh and spoke.

“Have you been touched by Lutios’ magical power since childhood, and your talent has only half awakened? But, then, after all, Lutios. It was necessary for you to tell us about this person.”

“Don’t be silly…! Cleon has more important things than being the dragon’s stallion!”

“Dragon’s…Stallion?”

Perdia recognizes the words that bother her and puts them in her mouth her, but Rhetios speaks annoyedly.

“Are you saying that it’s okay for the same species to become extinct…?”

“I don’t care if dragons who claim to be the administrators of the world but neglect human affairs are exterminated…!”

“You are truly foolish, brother. That is why you are the Demonic Sword Emperor… “

The two of them collided as their mana swelled.

Sparks fly, wild winds blow, and lightning strikes.

As the emotions intensified, the human part gradually grew larger, and the bodies of the two gradually returned to their original form before they knew it.

“Rutie! Calm down!”

“Cleon… I will protect you!”

Despite Cleon’s restraint, Luti reveals his true self of hers.

It was at the same time that Rhethios changed into a beautiful red-eyed white dragon.

“The reason why I moved to the grassland is because I thought it would be like this from the beginning…!”

“Cleon-sama, give me instructions!”

Perdia gives Cleon a dagger of her own and talks, and Cleon looks up at the two dragons soaring towards the sky.

“…First of all, we have to calm these guys down! No matter how big the meadow is, if dragons collide, this whole area will be ruined!”

Eventually, Rhetios’ lightning breath and Luti’s stormy wind magic clashed.

The battle between two giant dragons with the power to cause destruction was about to begin.
