Chapter 43: The True Dragon Academy!

Veit and the others stared dumbfounded at the dragon in front of them, then each swallowed a mouthful of water.

‘Winters, why are you here?’

That's right, the one blocking in front of Veit and the others was none other than Winters!

Winters looked at Veit and the others, his eyes filled with helplessness.

‘You guys always give me a surprise!’

In the Dragon's Den, Veit and the others looked at Winters with an embarrassed expression.

Isha had already been sent back by Winters, and they were about to receive a judgement from Winters....... Well, that seems a bit serious!

Criticism is more like it.

Winters looked at the apprehensive Veit and the others with some amusement.

‘If you know you can't do it, why do you guys still go ahead and do it?

If I hadn't been following you guys, you would have run out of the Dragon's Nest, the outside world is completely different from Desiderio.

Especially for you young dragons.

The outside world is full of dangers, not only some dragon beasts, just some plants can kill you.

Especially you Billy!

If you can't keep your mouth shut, I wouldn't be surprised if you die out there just as soon as you get out!’

‘I'm sorry, Winters, I know I'm wrong!’

Said Billy, shrinking his neck, his tail, which was full of crystal spikes, danced behind him.

Due to his standing position, his tail lashed back and forth at Veit and Celine.

Veit was fine with it, he was thick-skinned and the hits were slightly more comfortable, but Celine couldn't help but glare at Billy before moving farther away.

‘And you, Celine, thought you'd be the most mature of them all!’

At the sound of her name, Celine's head immediately dropped, and the holy light on her body dimmed by a few degrees.

‘Sorry, Winters!’

Winters sighed.

‘Never mind, enough about you guys, remember, you must never take half a step away from Desiderio without passing through the Hatchling period, it will cost you everything!

Also, you still have half a day, tomorrow your academy life will officially begin, look forward to it!’

With that, Winters turned around and left, leaving behind the five dragons who looked at each other in disbelief!

‘What should we do with that ......?’

Billy asked cautiously.

After all, going to the opposite side of the Moon Shadow River was something he was the first to bring up, so at this moment, Billy didn't have much of a backbone when he spoke.

Of course, Veit and the others weren't so bad as to blame Billy in this matter.

Billy only suggested that it was their joint decision to go to the opposite side of the Moonshadow River, and as a gargoyle, it wasn't so bad that they didn't even have that to bear.

After hearing Billy's words, Celine grimaced bitterly.

‘Anyway, Winters won't let us go out again, we can only move around in the middle of the academy ...... Forget it, I'm going to practice my magic, there's not much to do for an afternoon other than this!’

Dinnet turned to Celine.

‘Together!’

At this, Celine did not have an opinion, on the contrary, it was better to have a dragon that could accompany her to practice magic.

Ao glanced at Veit, then pointed outside.

‘I'm going to fight!’

Billy could only place an expectant gaze on Vette.

Seeing this, Veit hesitated for a moment, then said, ‘If you're willing, come with me to the library, with my current size, I'm barely able to turn the pages, I'm prepared to give it a try.

If that doesn't work, I'm going to go find Bocco and inquire about the class I have to take tomorrow.’

‘To read a book!’

Billy's eyes dimmed with a speed visible to the naked eye.

‘I'd rather go fight with O than read a book!’

In response, Ao didn't say anything.

After discussing the matter, the five dragons left the Dragon's Den once again.

Coming to the library, Veit tried it out, and not to mention, after waking up from this sleep, his power had indeed grown a lot.

In the past, he couldn't even turn a page, but this time, he was able to barely drag a large book.

Turning pages was definitely no problem.

After thinking about it for a while, Veit didn't start reading the book right away, but went to find Boke first!

......

Bocco, who was busy fiddling with the potions in the lab, saw a flash of doubt in his eyes when he saw Veit come over.

‘Shouldn't you be enjoying a rare holiday at this time of the year? How come you have the time to come over to me?’

Upon hearing this, Veit scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, and then spoke about what happened before.

After Boke heard this, but he laughed out loud.

‘Winters is always like that, she will always worry about you guys running into danger.’

Veit flew to the test bench, looking at the crystal tubes filled with strange coloured liquids on the thermostatic array, gurgling and bubbling, but his mouth casually asked, ‘Isn't it dangerous outside?’

‘No, it is indeed dangerous, but not as dangerous as Winters said, she just didn't want you guys to risk your lives, and leaving the Dragon's Lair means risking your lives, and that act is dangerous!’

Veit drifted off, then looked at the liquid in the crystal tube and asked, ‘What is this? It looks like it's dangerous.’

‘They?

They're not dangerous, and as for what they are, I can't tell you right now.

That's because these are things I'll be using in class tomorrow, er ...... your class!

So, keep a little suspense!’

At that, Veit froze for a moment, then looked at Bocco in surprise.

‘The reason I came over here was that I was going to ask you about what our lesson's for tomorrow, and I didn't realise that it would be you giving us the lesson!

Erm ...... we're going to learn tomorrow, how to refine potions?’

Bocco let out a light laugh.

‘Of course not, refining potions is a rather tedious and delicate job, there can't be the slightest bit of error, the slightest bit of error will cause problems with the potions you refine.

Once the potion has a problem, losing the original effect, that is the lightest, some serious, and will even make your body appear some unpredictable changes.

Because our aim is to test the potions we make ourselves.

There was once a little guy, just like you guys, who was just starting out with potions, and the first bottle of potion he refined made him shed tears for ten days straight.

As a punishment for disobedience, I did not treat him!

In every dragon's first potions class, I tell them that not every dragon, is suitable to learn potions, but as long as they are willing to listen, at the very least, they won't be able to refine potions that will harm them.

I hope you guys can listen a bit more, that can make you suffer a lot less.’

Veit looked at Bocco in dismay.

How did you manage to, laugh and say such horrible words?

At the same time, Veit also mourned for Billy in his heart!

To be disobedient, other than Billy, Veit couldn't think of a second dragon!

And, on top of that, that guy Billy's favourite thing to do was, stuffing unrecognisable things into his mouth!

At that thought, Viktor hesitated for a moment, then said, ‘Boco, if you can, you'll have to keep an extra eye on Billy tomorrow, he might put anything in his mouth!’

At that, Boco thought for a moment.

‘Billy, if I remember correctly, it's that Red Crystal Dragon.

Potions class would indeed be a disaster for him if he likes to stuff things inside his mouth, you're right, I really should have paid more attention!

Of course, if you hadn't said anything, I'd actually be more than happy to see him do it.

It'll make him remember that there's a lot of things he can't stuff in his mouth!’

Veit laughed dryly for a few moments before bidding goodbye to Bocco, since tomorrow was Bocco's class, it was necessary for him to go through the Herbal Encyclopaedia book!

As the sky grew dark, when Veit came out of the library, the square below was still bustling with activity!

However, he didn't come down there.

According to his observation, the Dragon Academy had the most metal dragons and five-coloured dragons, and there were quite a few crystal dragons as well.

Face-blind as he was, even if he went down there, it would be impossible to find Ao and Billy.

Therefore, he directly flew towards the Dragon's Den.

Once he returned to the Dragon's Den, he realised how right that decision was.

Because both O and Billy were in the Dragon's Den.

Their spirits were quite good, but their condition was not so good, and on the bodies of the two dragons, there were several places where their scales were broken.

Billy, in particular, had several broken crystal clusters on his back.

In addition, there were more than just Celine and the others in the Dragon's Den, Winters was also there.

Upon seeing Veit, Winters smiled and said, ‘You're finally back, I was all set to ask Celine to find you?’

Veit looked at Winters curiously.

‘Is there something you want us to do?’

Winters nodded.

‘Your academy life will soon begin in earnest, but do you know anything about the academy?’

Veit froze for a moment, then shook his head blankly.

All he knew was that their Dragon's Den was on the sixth floor, the eighth floor as a whole was a library, while the ninth floor held Bocco's laboratory, and the classroom where they took magic lessons was on the fourth floor!

Beyond that, he knew nothing.

Winters smiled.

‘So, our next task is to get acquainted with the true meaning of the Gargoyle Academy!’

Saying that, Winters spread his claws.

After Veit and the others flew up skilfully, Winters led Veit and the others, towards the outside of the Dragon's Lair.

While walking, Winters narrated to Veit and the others.

‘The ninth floor, Vit should know that there is Bocco's laboratory there, but in reality, the ninth floor has more than that.

In addition to Bocco's potions lab, the ninth floor also holds Lofa's alchemy lab, Janice's magic array lab, and my magic lab!
