Chapter 28: Goodbye to the Stars
Viktor smiled in embarrassment when he saw that he had got Billy and Dinnet covered in dust.
‘Sorry, I'll pay attention next time!’
With that, he looked back, at Celine and O, who were still engaged in battle.
‘I thought you guys were practising magic!’
Hearing this, Billy instantly began to sputter.
‘Veit, it's too hard, I've been practising all morning, and the result is still no reaction, I'm a bit suspicious that my elemental affinity is fake.
The other dragons are pretty much the same, Celine is a bit faster, she's already able to invoke some light elements, but she still can't use that magic.
While resting, Ao suddenly offered to fight, and Celine agreed!
Speaking of which, why are you back so early?’
Hearing Billy's words, Dinnet also looked over in curiosity, obviously, she was also rather curious about Veit's early return.
Veit casually plopped down.
‘Nothing, there was a little problem, besides, Winters had something to do, so he sent me back.’
As he was saying this, a head but appeared suddenly in front of Veit, scaring him so much that he almost clawed his way through it.
His neck shrank back, and only then did he see clearly that it was Billy!
Looking at the other party looking at him with an inquisitive face, Veit sighed helplessly.
‘Well, it's my body again ......’
After a pause, Veit asked, ‘Do you guys know what face blindness is?’
Billy shook his head.
‘What's this? Is it edible?’
Veit rolled his eyes.
‘It's a disease, a dragon that has the disease will not recognise other dragons, for example, if Tinnit was also a red crystal dragon, I would be completely unable to tell which one of you is which!’
At that, Billy scratched his head and let out a crisp rattle.
‘That's it?’
Nodding his head, Veit smiled and said, ‘That's it!’
‘Doesn't sound too serious.’
Veit's tail wagged and he said helplessly, ‘Winters thought it was serious, so she took me to see Boco ...... I'm grateful to her.’
‘That's normal, I think Winters favours you a bit more compared to us!’
At that, Veit froze for a moment.
Favouritism?
Don't say, now that I think about it, it was true, ever since he was born, Winters had paid more attention to him than the other dragons.
With this thought in his heart, Vettel's mouth said, ‘I don't think it's like that, she pays attention to each and every one of us, just like you!’
‘Me?’
Billy thought back, but there was some confusion in his eyes.
Viktor smiled.
‘Of course, just like, Billy, I think I need to warn you, Billy, you still haven't taken my words to heart, Billy ......’
Veit spoke in Winters' tone.
Hearing this, a blush flashed in Billy's eyes.
‘Well, Vit, I know I did a lot of stupid things, but I just thought it was funny at the time, let's not talk about it, they're about to split up!’
As she spoke, Celine, who was flying in mid-air, saw her chance and grabbed Ao's tail before flinging him hard onto the ground.
With that loud bang, they secretly smacked their lips when they heard it!
It must have hurt a lot!
Ao climbed up and glanced at Saeryn unwillingly, but the Golden Dragon's pride prevented him from doing such a classless act as not admitting defeat after losing.
‘I'll challenge you again!’
Celine was not surprised by this and nodded, saying extremely seriously, ‘Looking forward to your challenge!’
With that, she walked over towards Vettel and their side.
Seeing this, Ao hesitated for a moment, and then followed suit, only, compared to Celine, he was in a much more sorry state, and even when he walked, he was in deep trouble.
That last fall was really painful, and his right back leg, was now numb!
‘Veit? Why are you back?’
Seeing Celine walk over, Veit was about to congratulate his opponent on his win when he heard Celine take the lead and ask.
Glancing at Ao, who was also curiously looking towards him, Veit sighed and could only repeat the words he had said to Billy and the others earlier, once again!
After hearing Veit's words, Celine looked at Veit with a stunned expression.
‘Surprisingly, there's still this kind of disease, it wasn't mentioned in my inherited memories!’
Veit wagged his tail and said unconcernedly, ‘The world is a big place, and besides, since Boco was able to take out those metal plates used to test for face blindness, it means that there were dragons at the academy that had suffered from this disease before!
Moreover, this disease doesn't really affect me that much!
Winters said that so far, you're the only sacred dragon in the academy!’
Upon hearing this, Celine's face dawned on her, then she stepped forward and patted Vettel's wings, saying with a big grin, ‘Don't worry, I'll cover you!’
Hearing this, Veit rolled his eyes and dodged Celine's claws as she continued to slap down.
‘Are you even listening to what I'm saying or not!
It's not a matter of covering or not covering at all, I just might misidentify Billy and the others, but I won't if you're around, that's all!’
Celine, however, waved her hand carelessly.
‘Veit, you don't need to explain so much, feel free to rely on me!’
Veit was still about to say something, when he saw that the gaze that Celine looked at him was suddenly fiery.
‘Veit, do you want to fight again?’
Hearing this, Veit subconsciously stood up and was about to answer, but when his gaze swept over Ao, he sighed helplessly.
‘Forget it, you just finished fighting with Ao, your stamina should be almost depleted, to fight you now is a bit of a victory, in addition ......’
Saying that, Veit scanned the circle.
‘Don't you guys practice magic anymore?’
Hearing this, not only Celine, the four little ones were all like deflated ball-bearing little dragons.
Billy covered his head and grabbed the ground with his head!
‘Veit, you're too cruel, I clearly wanted to avoid this question, but you brought it out again!’
Celine and the others looked like they felt the same way.
But they were at least aware of the importance of magic, and didn't let that stop them.
After complaining a few times, Billy went to a corner of the dragon's lair and continued to fight with his ‘fireball’.
So did Celine and the others!
And Viktor?
Wentz was not here, so he had no way to practice his ‘Spirit Magic’, so he could only find an open space and continued to exercise his wings.
Time passed little by little, and soon the sky outside darkened.
Wentz, who had disappeared for an afternoon, brought food to Vettel, and Celine and the others tried to eat a few bites, but they couldn't eat any more.
They weren't hungry in the first place!
When Veit finished eating, Winters gave a few instructions and left!
She had taken hundreds of young dragons with her and knew their behaviour all too well!
After a day of boring practice without any progress, no young dragon would stay up late to practice magic, so naturally she didn't need to stay and keep watch.
Rather, this was also the case.
After Winters left, Saeryn and the others stopped practising magic and instead each prepared to rest!
Veit was the same.
However, if he wanted to rest, he still needed a drop of the juice of the Domia flower.
However, today was different!
Just as Veit was walking towards the crystal jar where the Domia Flower's juice was placed, Billy stopped in front of him.
Veit looked at Billy suspiciously.
‘You want some too?’
Billy hemmed and hawed, then mysteriously moved in front of Veit.
‘Veit, it shouldn't affect our growth and development if we just stay awake for one night!’
Hearing this, Veit looked at Billy in consternation, and his voice couldn't help but raise a bit.
‘You want to go out?’
Billy hurriedly covered Veit's mouth, and then carefully glanced at, Celine and their respective positions, and saw that there was no movement, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
‘Keep your voice down, don't disturb them, it's easy to make a mess if you go out more than once, and if Winters catches you for it, it's going to be a problem!’
Veit wrenched Billy's paw away, subconsciously lowering his voice.
‘You mean, just the two of us?’
Billy nodded, and seeing the hesitant look on Veit's face, whispered, ‘Don't you want to look at the stars?’
Veit froze for a moment, then looked at Billy in surprise.
Billy, however, had a smug look on his face.
‘Starry sky dragons are well!
The knowledge inherited from the bloodline is still quite influential to young dragons like us.
What's more, you even slipped out that night.
It's not hard to guess that you have a different kind of obsession with the stars!’
Upon hearing this, a look of relief came over Veit's face as he drifted off.
Seeing this, Billy's heart rejoiced and continued to persuade, ‘Besides, it's not like we're really staying awake for a night, go outside and look around for a while, and when you come back, maybe you won't even be able to use the sap of the Dormia Flower, and you'll be able to sleep peacefully!’
Hearing this, Viktor was moved and nodded heavily.
‘Okay, but you have to listen to me, absolutely not make a single sound, and absolutely not stay on the ninth floor!’
Billy was delighted.
‘Of course I have to listen to you, after all, it's my first time!’
