Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her

After the encounter with Aurora, Veer's happy mood plummeted. He walked on the concrete road, his thoughts wandering to the past, bringing up memories he had been trying to ignore.

Lost in his thoughts, he reached the Serene Lotus Park and stopped. As he was considering something, he heard a loud voice directed at him.

"V!! What are you getting depressed about? Come here!"

He raised his head and found a handsome young woman waving her hand at him. As always, Elara was wearing knee-high stockings and denim shorts. Her hoodie left much to his imagination.

'This is the path I've chosen,' Veer smiled. 'I will see it through to the end.'

"I was just thinking about you," Veer said as he skipped over to his girlfriend and gave her a tight hug.

Elara hugged him back and muttered, "Why do I have a feeling that it's not something good?"

"Oh! It was. I was just thinking about my birthday and what kind of present I can get from you," Veer smiled lovingly at his girlfriend and said.

A grin appeared on Elara's face as she tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "It'll be something very special that I have never given to anyone."

"Can you guys not flirt right in the morning?"

As they were getting in the moment, they heard a voice filled with dissatisfaction and turned their heads. Liliana stood there, wearing a big pout on her charming face.

"I can flirt with you too, my lady," Veer smiled and stretched his hand towards Liliana.

With a subtle smile on her face, Liliana took his hand and hugged him. Closing her eyes in his embrace, she said, "You have worked hard for the last month, huh."

"It isn't much really," Veer sighed. "Anyways, what about you two? Are you confident?"

They separated as Elara showed her fist to Veer, "More than ready. I can't wait to punch that bitch's face."

Liliana didn't say much, but the mirth playing in her eyes told her intentions.

"Nice! Now we are ready to bulldoze the Selections," Veer grinned. Then, he remembered something and asked, "What about the others?"

"They are inside waiting for you," Elara chuckled. "I still can't believe we actually managed something like this."

"We will do many things, babe," Veer smiled and said. "Let's not make them wait any longer."

The two nodded, and along with Veer, they entered the Serene Lotus Park, which now seemed like a proper park. The entrance gate was fixed, and even though it wasn't metal, the wooden gate certainly looked imposing.

As Veer pushed open the wooden giant gate, he was greeted with a gust of fresh air right on his face. He closed his eyes and inhaled, enjoying the winds.

As his eyes fluttered open, an expanse of a thin blanket of greenery atop rolling hills came into view. The hills weren't big, and they surrounded a vast, almost seemingly endless lake.

The Serene Lotus Park had been cleaned thoroughly by the First Years, and they had transformed it into a proper park now. Even though there weren't any benches or other furniture, it was still a great place to hang out or, in their case, train.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They had spent the whole month in the Serene Lotus Park, learning from their bosses.

"This scenery never gets old," Veer said in a low voice as he entered the park alongside his girlfriends. From there, they headed directly towards their meeting place, which they had decided on long ago.

It was on the other side of the lake, where it connected with the tall boundaries of the Academy. They had to walk along the shore to reach it as quickly as possible.

Soon, they covered most of the distance while talking nonsense with each other, enjoying the wholesome moments.

They only slowed down when they found a towering wall in the distance. It was one of the tallest walls they had seen in the Academy.

The walls cast a dark shadow on the park, and the serene water of the lake reflected it. It was a magnificent scene to behold.

The trio was already used to seeing it every day, so they continued walking until they reached their base. Their base was just a small gathering of a few tents, nothing more.

As he closed in, Veer could easily see the 180 students sitting around the camp, talking with each other. Normally, he would see them laughing or complaining. However, today the mood didn't seem as good.

Veer frowned and shouted, "Who the hell allowed some lazy fucks to enter my camp?"

His subordinates immediately stood up and bowed before him, their fists striking their left chest. Their voices, low and filled with strange hesitation, echoed in the surroundings.

"Greetings, Boss!!"

Veer waved his hand in dismissal and said, "Raise your heads and tell me why you're all so depressed?"

They raised their heads and turned to look at Rock, who was standing at the end of their queue, tall as always. His height really overshadowed the others, and even in a crowd, he was easily distinguishable.

As Veer looked at his strongest subordinate, a smile formed on his lips. Even after a month of training, there were only a few who had managed to form their Mana Core.

Rock was one such case, and he had also grown much stronger than before. As he stood now, he was a walking mountain that no one could shake.

He stepped forward and crossed his arms over his muscular chest, "Boss! They're all just nervous because tomorrow is the day of the selections."

"That's it?" Veer exclaimed, then glared at his subordinates. "Did you all forget the progress you made in the last month or what? You literally improved so much that I doubt any of you will fail this test."

Jarek chuckled and said as he came to stand beside Rock, "Let them off the hook, Boss. I'm sure they'll perform their best tomorrow. For now, we need your instructions for tomorrow."

"If you say so..." Veer muttered and glanced at everyone once more. To be honest, he was just pretending, as he knew perfectly well how much his students had grown.

Every single one of them carried a powerful presence. Even if it wasn't comparable to that of Carlson or Veer, it was still enough to show their power and mindset.

Veer nodded at Jarek and went towards the podium they had made just for situations like this. He stepped on it and turned around as many gazes fell on him, full of curiosity, hope, and anticipation.

He smiled and spoke, "So, students, the one-month trial is over today. If you want to continue the services, please subscribe with ten Mudra per day."

At first, the camp was utterly silent before some muffled chuckles sounded, followed by full-blown laughter. Everyone forgot about their thoughts and simply laughed at their Boss's ridiculous behavior.

Standing behind everyone, Liliana smiled and thought, 'You really can pull anything off if you want to, huh.'

After everyone had their laugh, Veer decided to continue, "I'm glad my words made you all laugh, but they weren't a joke. I do need the money from you all."

Watching the speechless look on everyone's faces, Veer felt much better and said, "Anyway, I don't have much to say, really. You have worked hard for an entire month, gave your all just to get stronger, and you did improve. So, have some confidence in your hard work."

His gaze passed over everyone as he continued, "We don't know how the Selection will go, as they change it every year, but know this: everyone here can be your opponent, so be prepared. But remember this clearly..."

He raised his right index finger and said, "Opponent and enemy are different, so do not confuse them."

Everyone nodded, as they understood his words clearly. Veer had already drilled this into their minds, as he knew there was a high chance they would be forced to fight one another.

There were no hard feelings among them about this.

Seeing their determined expressions, Veer nodded in satisfaction, "Good! It seems like I haven't wasted my time. Now, take a break today and enjoy it. There is no need to train today. Give your body and mind the rest they need."

Raising his hand in the air, he shouted, "And tomorrow, we'll face everything with a smile on our faces."

"Hell yeah!!!"

"HELL YEAH!!"

The students cheered as they all raised their hands in the air. In their excited mood, they thanked Veer once again and left him to enjoy the rest of the day. Tomorrow would be a stressful day, so why not enjoy today?

Left alone with his girlfriends, Veer felt very happy, and it showed from his wide grin. He jumped and landed right before his two girlfriends, who looked at him in amusement.

With his hands stretched, Veer asked, "Would you like to go on a date with me?" Your next journey awaits at empire
