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

A middle-aged man wearing a staff uniform was leaning against the wall, as sleepiness clouded his mind. His mind cleared up upon hearing the clicking of heels against the floor.

He straightened up and stood properly, as he looked before him. A woman as beautiful as the skies was walking towards him, with two fluffy, white wolf ears on her head.

However, he dared not look directly at them. He simply bowed and greeted her, "Good morning, Dean!"

Freya nodded at him and entered the door the man was guarding. Inside, she saw many professors of the Academy who instantly stood up upon seeing her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Good morning, Dean!"

They all bowed in respect, as Freya gave them a smile and nodded. Passing by them, she entered a corridor, from where she directly headed towards an elevator.

This particular elevator was reserved solely for her, and for her alone, so she didn't have to wait. She directly entered it and hit the top-floor button, and then leaned against the metal walls.

'Is this really a right decision?' Freya wondered, but she knew that even if her decision was wrong, she would still choose it.

With a ding sound, the elevator's door opened, revealing a long, narrow corridor. She didn't give it much thought and went towards the other side of the corridor.

Her heels produced a clicking sound in the empty corridor, and only stopped when she stepped outside of it.

Her captivating eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness she was presented with. Without stopping, she clicked her fingers, which made a single light bulb light up from the ceiling.

The illumination was solely focused on a single chair, upon which she comfortably sat and waited. Her eyes closed as she wondered about her decision.

It was then that several other things illuminated in the dark room. In a matter of seconds, they became recognizable.

Surrounding her from all sides were glowing squares, with a dark humanoid figure outlining from the other side.

Not surprised by the flashy show, Freya just yawned and asked, "Is your show over? I have other matters to deal with."

"What did you say!!?" Experience more on empire

"Enough! Let her talk!"

Two of the squares shone in that direction, becoming a focal point of attention as two different masculine voices sounded from them.

'These old geezers!!' Freya groaned but didn't say anything. After all, they were the heads of the Starlight Academy, and had been a part of it even before Freya joined it.

Sighing, she announced the purpose of her visit, "Alright! The Bloodthorn Labyrinth is opening early this year, for some reason. What do we do with it?"

"We have heard about it, but is it really true?"

Freya nodded, and answered without looking at the squares, "Yeah, and it leaks a nasty aura. It is gonna be very troublesome."

"What have you decided then?"

Smiling, Freya answered, "There is a limit on who can enter the labyrinth, as you already know. Nobody at or above the Intermediate Stage can enter the Bloodthorn Labyrinth, and neither should they be above the age of 19."

"Just tell us what you have planned."

"Yeah! No need to waste our time, girl."

Freya shrugged, "Simple, we do as we did every year. We will send the First Years and some of the Second Years."

"That's dangerous! The First Years are weak!"

"Yeah! This year the batch is very weak. Sending them to the Bloodthorn Labyrinth is basically sending them to their death."

"Not to mention this is an abnormal situation."

Closing her eyes, Freya listened to every single one of the Heads and stayed silent. She knew they would debate to no end, so she pondered something else.

'Why did this happen now?' Freya thought, as a light frown formed on her face. 'This isn't a coincidence. It can't be!'

She still remembered the nasty encounter she had a month ago, and because of that, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right.

Not to mention the words spoken by that figure still lingered in her mind.

'Is this related to you, Veer?' she wondered.

"You dare ignore us!"

'Ah! Someone should plug something in his mouth,' Freya rolled her eyes and sat up properly. Her eyes went to her left as she smiled, "I dare not in the presence of Head Miura!"

"You!!"

"Enough! Girl, we would like to hear your opinion on this!"

Freya remained silent for a while and only spoke after everyone had calmed down, "Simple really, we will do what we always did. We will send the First Years students into that labyrinth."

"But they're very dangerous."

"And the world isn't?" Freya scoffed in disdain. "You know why I am here, right?"

At that question, the room turned silent.

"I am here to make figures who will survive this world, and I will do that," Freya said. "But I won't send them to their deaths. I'm not that cruel, yet. I will give everyone a chance."

"I still think it will be dangerous!"

"Agreed!"

Freya rolled her eyes once again, "Really? The other six Academies will be going there, and I'm sure they won't be cowards like us."

"Because they have the students, and we don't. Even if they send a huge number, there will still be many left. What about us?"

"That means shit to me," Freya narrowed her eyes at the blue-coloured square. "A hundred weaklings will just die in that labyrinth, so sending a few who can survive is a far better choice."

She sighed and stood up, "Also, I'm here to tell you that I'm doing it, not to ask you guys."

"If anything happens to the Academy, you will be responsible."

Shaking her head, Freya waved her hand as all the squares shattered, with only her voice reaching them.

"Then I will shoulder them. It's not like the first time I did it."

With that, she was left alone in the room once again. She slumped back on her chair, as her thoughts drifted back to the topic.

'If they want me to groom the devil, then I will make him stronger than even them. Veer, I hope you don't disappoint me. And more importantly, don't die there.'
