Book 4: Chapter 1

The Might of the Dragon Roar, Skill Competition, Dual-Ability Wielder

Then, that is all for the record, thanks for going through the trouble today. The policeman said, as he closed his notebook and looked at me with respect.

I bowed to him, stood up and dragged my beaten body out of the police station.

Right before I stepped out of the police station, I could hear some of the policemen muttering as they pointed at me, Thats the kid; he completely wrecked those seven bank robbers, who killed more than ten people.

It couldnt be, right? His spirit energy is so weak.

Dont be fooled by that kids appearance he is actually the son of the Lin Fan, the great Battle Master.

What? That famous Battle Master? He was my idol. When I heard that he died, I cried for a very long time.

Gross How could a grown man cry?

Think about it, in order to let his companions escape, he fought off four superior demons all by himself and managed to kill them all; only to die of exhaustion at the end there Wasnt that very moving?

Yeah, that is true.

On the way home

I felt dead tired I couldnt believe that my attack was so powerful, and nearly killed all seven bank robbers

Because Wild Wolf was too brutal to Kamiki, I used too much force and broke his jaw in my rage that, I admit was on purpose But for those other six criminals who were sent flying by my Dragon Roar, I didnt think that they would be so seriously injured. It was clear that they were only being slammed into the wall but their bones were broken Sigh Luckily, they were criminals, and wanted mercenary fugitives at that. Otherwise, I would be in jail now, right?

Kid! You did good!

Oh Freed, it is you

Whats the matter? Why are you so down?

I am so tired I over-exerted my dragon power also, how come my Dragon Roar was so powerful? Didnt you say that even though my Dragon Roar wasnt powerful, it would be sufficient to temporarily disorient them? How could you count that as being temporarily disoriented? They are all f*cking vegetables now. When I think about how I have completely wrecked those people, I get agitated.

Dont get too agitated. When you get agitated, you start to curse that is not what a civilized man would do.

Oh? Is a dragon who could only say f*ck in any position to make comments on what constitutes a civilized man?

Oi, kid, I know that you feel like you overdid it, but they were all evil doers. Why should you even worry about that?

Even if they are criminals, they are still human, right? They

It is ok, I know what you wanted to say; you wanted to say that you have ruined their lives, isnt that right?

Yeah dont you know? I understand all too well the feeling of being looked down on, the feeling of having no ability, of being helpless

Then let me ask you: are they good people? How many lives have they ruined? Sometimes one needs to be flexible. You are a kind hearted person, this I know. Otherwise, you wouldnt have gotten yourself ran over by a car because you were trying to save a little human kid mankind cant only be kind-hearted. Towards evil, you need to be evil too. Take demons for an example, do you feel that they should all die? Dont you feel even the tiniest bit of guilt for killing them?

You already said they are demons humans are different.

There isnt much of a difference, they are just demons in human skin, after they died, they would surely turn into demons. You dont have to feel guilty, they deserved it. Have you ever considered what would have happened if you didnt do that to them? What would Kamikis future be? Sigh~~ I never thought that I, Freed, the great dragon God, would end up having to lecture a brat that is still wet behind the ears . I thought that you had grown a little, who could have thought that you would feel bad for beating up some hoodlums; from here on out, you will have a long, tough road ahead of you .

This is a world with the law of the jungle, humans killing each other thats why there are so many negative emotions Thinking back, at the time, they didnt even hesitate and opened fire Those people who died they also had families their families would be sad. What I did, could it be considered as avenging their deaths?

Right, thats the right attitude. Even though right now, you may find your ability very scary, so long as you dont use your ability to bully the weak, and use your power for punishing evil demons and bad people, then, you will always be righteous.

Righteous, eh? Oh~~ you still havent told me why my Dragon Roar had so much power.

Actually, it has something to do with how the dragon power within your body has grown. The strength of a Dragon Roar relies on both the strength of your elemental power, as well as the strength of your dragon power. Your dragon power has grown a lot, so the power of your Dragon Roar has also increased proportionally. The fact of the matter is that if those thugs hadnt underestimated your before, I believe they would only at most be badly injured. The problem lied with them being misled by your weak spiritual power and thinking that you wouldnt be any threat to them. So, feeling relaxed around you, they let their guard down. When you let loose your roar, it was already too late for them to put up their defenses. So, the combination of a powered up Dragon Roar, together with unguarded defenses resulted in their ruin.

Really? Dragon Roar is indeed very scary.

Scary? Are you kidding me? If only you had a chance to witness some of those ancient dragons Dragon Roars, then you would know that your half-baked Dragon Roar simply cannot compare to a real Dragon Roar. To use something from your original world as an example, then your Dragon Roar would be a hand grenade, while their Dragon Roars would be missles. On top of that, ancient dragons actually werent that big of a deal; some of those primordial dragons Dragon Roars could pack some punch. The power of their roars was comparable to nuclear bombs.'

What? Even on par with a nuclear bomb? Just what kind of terrifying existence were those primordial dragons?

Meh~~ Those are all in the past; they should all be dead by now. At most, there are still some ancient dragons somewhere, but they should be very old by now? Almost all of the remaining dragons should be close to death.

Really I didnt think of that Right, you are both dragon Gods, right? Then, wouldnt your roars be even more powerful?

Us? Oh, no. Neither Yalide nor I know any Dragon Roars At best, we could only do some basic roars.

You are kidding, right? The dragon Gods, the primogenitors of dragons, cant use any Dragon Roar? Who would believe that?

Why would I lie to you? We were born together with God. God had lived a total of fifty thousand years and we had lived fifty-six thousand years. Just think about it, we were the dragon Gods we only needed to manage our domain; we didnt have time to fight over territories or take part in any wars between races and countries. In truth, Dragon Roar is something the dragons developed over the years and evolved into a type of battle technique It isnt something that a dragon was born with. Did you forget that I once mentioned how a young pure-bred dragon would take a hundred years before it could successfully learn Dragon Roar? That is because Dragon Roar is something that requires non-stop practising Of course, it would know some basic roars, but to have roars that pack real power would require a long period of training.

You said so much in one setting, I couldnt quite get it all Wait, you didnt just make that up because you cant do Dragon Roar, did you?

Forget it if you dont get it; from now on, if you have anything you want to know, Ill tell you. Just dont make this kind of bad joke. Indeed, I dont know Dragon Roar, but I know some major magic. My magic is not any worse than Dragon Roar. Dont you forget, I am Freed, the scion of light. In terms of speed, no one can match me

Speed of light?

Right, you know too that there is nothing faster than lightspeed in the world. Of course, you cant reach that level. Oh~~you should be able to reach the speed of sound or hypersonic state.

Reaching the speed of sound? Wow ~~~ that is really fast.

Fast my ass. Light speed is the king. Hm? Strange. Ill ask this, are you lost?

Huh? After Freed reminded me, I realized that because I have been so focused on chatting with him that at the moment, I am walking around in a place I dont recognize at all.

I am dead tired I didnt expect I even walked all the way to the neighbouring city Letting my mind wander was really scary When I opened the door, I said in a weak and tired voice, I am back

At this time, Silent Water came out from inside the house, the sound her sweet voice rang in my ears, Welcome back, Master.

Hmm, I am back

Before I could finish, Reidy came outside, acting like she was really upset, Human! Where have you been?

Nowhere I didnt mention the incident at the bank. Its all in the past. Besides, if I were to say something, they would for sure be worried

Dont you know that we couldnt eat because you werent back? Dont you know that if I dont eat, I would be hungry? Dont you know, when I am hungry I will lose my temper So, next time, you need to come back earlier. Idiot. Towards the tail end of her speech, Reidy turned her head to the side, put her hands on her hips, giving me this look like she wanted me to really think long and hard on my actions.

I am really sorry, Reidy. So, have you guys eaten yet?

Isnt it all because of you, that we havent eaten anything yet. Why are your clothes so dirty?

Ugh where is Dusty

Dont try to change the topic! Dusty is taking a bath.

Is that so Then lets eat I quickly took off my shoes and walked into the house.

At the dining table

Little Silent, sorry to make you do all the work.

Silent Water put out plate after plate of piping hot food onto the table and gave me a sweet smile, No problem. Silent Water was only heating up the food, nothing too exhausting.

Is that so? But, cooking is rather tiring Oh Reidy, I am sorry to you too letting you go hungry. Seeing Reidy sitting next to me with her stern look, I didnt understand why she is angry.

Humph~~~ Isnt it just cooking

What does she mean this time?

After eating, I took a bath and returned to my room.

While lying on my bed, I thought back on things that happened in these past two days of the weekend I couldn't believe that in just two days, I had experienced so much The life that I was so used to seemed so far away.

I took a look at my cell phone I had left on the desk. I dont know why, but I kept getting this feeling as though someone had left me a message. I got up, picked up my phone, turned it on, and found out that there were actually two messages. Both of the messages were from Satsuki.

The first message was from Saturday evening around one oclock: Idiot, you asleep already? Why didnt you call me today? When I called you, why didnt you pick up? You busy?

The second message was from earlier tonight, around ten oclock: Even though I dont know what you might be doing, you must have your reasons for not returning my call, right? Tomorrow at school, you have to give me a good explanation.

Ho~~ My good sister is worrying about me? Luckily, I didnt die, or else I wouldnt be able to see Satsuki ever again.

I put my phone back and returned to bed. Very quickly, I was overtaken by an intense feeling of sleepiness

Morning

Where is Reidy?

She is still asleep.

Is that right A pampered lady is a pampered lady. Later on, when she is awake, you can just reheat the breakfast for her.

I understand, Master. This is your bento.

Thanks, Little Silent. I took the bento, opened the door and walked towards the school.

Today is Monday, June 25. In order to help improve the relationship and rapport between the spirit familiars and their masters, today is the day when the school holds a skill competition.

From first year through third year, all students of the high school have to participate in todays competition. After the competition, all the squads can recruit freshmen as new members of their teams.

The so-called squad is just a team consisting of no more than ten students, organizing themselves together as a tactical unit, something akin to a military regiment. After joining a squad, a student can take part in some of the battle competitions organized by the school, as well as those organized by the city.

The life in high school can be categorized into two time periods: before spirit summoning, dull and tedious. After spirit summoning, colorful and exciting.

Sigh~~~ No matter how colorful and exciting it may be, I will have no part in it After all, my spirit is Silent Water she is not an existence that I want to let other people know about.

School

Today, the moment I stepped inside the classroom, I could already feel the excitement and the enthusiasm from my classmates. It was like the Spirit Summoning Day, except that they were even more excited Meh If they perform well today, they would be recruited by powerful seniors into their squads, then enter into competition with the rest of the squads and become an overnight success, or something like that.

I really envy them. I sighed to myself Hm? What the heck is that girl Kamiki staring at me for is there something on my face? I instinctively wiped my face with my hand, but I didnt notice anything on my face When she saw what I did, she smiled. This is really strange.

I returned her smile, then I sat back down on to my seat.

Just after I sat down, Satsuki turned her head around and asked, Could it be that just now, you were smiling at Kamiki?

Ugh.. yeah Satsuki is really observative

Did something happen between the two of you?

No nothing. As I say this, I couldnt help but look away from her.

Humph~~~ Satsuki snorted in disbelief, and asked, What did you do over the last two days of the weekend? Were you really busy?

Yeah My uncle didnt come home, then I went to him to get the guilles Grass

Couldnt you have it delivered via express mail?

. guilles Grass is very expensive, I felt uneasy having it delivered via express mail.

Is that right? Xiang, what do you plan to do after the competition starts? At this time, Satsukis expression turned to look a bit concerned. Did something happen?

Competition? What competition? I dont have any spirits so I am not taking part in it.

I am talking about the competition between you and Kitashima

Kitashima? Who is that again? Why do I have to fight with someone called Kitashima?

Youre kidding, right? I am talking about the one who ranks top in our year, the dual-ability wielder, that Kitashima. Didnt you accept his challenge because of Yorikawa?

! I recalled that there was indeed something like that

Judging from the look on your face, you really arent kidding me. You actually had forgotten about it?

Sorry I really had forgotten about it I smiled sheepishly. It looks like I just cant seem to fix my bad habit (of forgetfulness).

You and here I thought you went behind my back and went for special training for the two days over the weekend I didnt think you would have completely forgotten about this.

Haha~~ my memory is bad. Oh right, Satsuki, you said that he is a dual-ability wielder, what do you mean by that?

You didnt know anything about him and accepted his challenge willy-nilly like?

Ye yeah Embarrassed, I nodded awkwardly. I was too angry at that time, that was why I accepted his challenge. Who would think about the consequences then.

Sigh~~ Okay, actually, what the term dual-ability wielder refers to are people who are adept at both magical arts and physical combat. Kitashima is a very formidable opponent; he is both an Intermediate Magician as well as a Battle Master. Just think about it, being a dual-ability wielder, he mitigates the risk a magician faces in melee and at the same time, compensates the shortcomings of a battle technician at long range attacks So, wouldnt you say it would be impossible for someone like him not to rank top in our year?

No but, isnt it really weird? Wasnt Takahashi number one at that time? If he is so strong, then why was Takahashi number one previously.

The guy Kitashima, even though he could use magic, his magic attribute is only earth, that is why he was looked down upon. But Takahashi could use all five elemental magics Also, during the initial ranking, Takahashi beat Kitashima So who would you say should be number one?

Really Takahashi was really strong. I wonder how he is doing now.

Xiang how about you give up? You cant beat him.

No a man always keeps his promises.

While the arena has special magic that prevents injuries, but if one receives a strong enough attack, it can still damage your mind

Satsuki do you have faith in me? I looked resolutely into Satsukis electrifying eyes.

Satsukis face suddenly turned red, it has been a long time since her face got this red, what is with her?

Satsuki turned her head, What..what are you doing I believe in you dont look at me like that.

So I embarrassed her, really a shy one.

I patted her head and smiled, Thank you for having faith in me. Just you wait and see, I will knock out Kitashima with my own hands.

As long as I attune myself to wind, while slowing down a little, then nobody would suspect how I beat him The me now is not the same me as before, I am absolutely sure I will beat him.

At this time, the homeroom teacher came in. He stood behind the desk, then cleared his throat, Cough, cough. You students seem really excited today, Sensei understands your excitement! Then I will not say much, come, lets go to the meeting place, I hope that you all will get a good score at the competition!
