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

Chapter 40 Faction

"Boss! What should we do?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Veer turned around and found his new friends standing there. Rock was the one who asked the question, as the triplets stood beside him.

"What do you mean?" Veer asked in confusion.

"I meant, do you have some plans for us?" Rock said. "For the Selections. Since you are our boss, we will follow your instructions."

"Huh?" Veer turned even more confused as he asked. "I still don't understand. Do you guys have information about the Selections?"

"I almost forgot you just came," Jarek slapped his forehead. "Yes, we do have some information about it. The Selections will have some tests mainly to test individual skills and lastly a team battle as you already know."

"Yup! We don't know about the tests as they are changed every year. But we do know that we would be fighting second years in the team battles," Victor nodded.

"The hell?" Veer exclaimed. "They aren't going to pit us against each other?"

"They will!" Jarek said. "But our main opponents will still be the Second Years. This is why we are asking for your instructions as we will all lose miserably at this rate."

As the group spoke, more students gathered around them, as everyone nodding in agreement with Jarek's words. There weren't only boys, as many girls were also trying to get close to Liliana and Elara.

Rock crossed his arms over his chest and said, "I am guessing you three will be in the same team so your team will definitely perform the best. But we also want to perform well, so we were hoping you would help us."

'Now this is problematic,' Veer thought, as he began contemplating the matter. 'The Second Years would be pain in the ass to deal with as I'm sure all of them are at Beginner Stage at the very least and some might even be in Intermediate Stage. There is just no way we can defeat them.'

However, he found the situation too strange as he didn't think Freya would set up something so absolute. After all, unless some one in a millennia genius comes, there was just no way they could defeat second years.

"Wait! There must be some limitations, right?" Veer asked.

"Yeah, there are. The Second Years cannot form big teams. They either have to join solo or in a duo," Victor said, remembering the rules.

"Then say that early, idiot," Veer had an urge to smack them, as they wasted his braincells.

"Calm down!" Elara said, putting her hand on his shoulder. "I think this is a way to humble us and show what lay ahead us."

"This is troublesome," Veer smiled. "But it's not as if the situation is very bad. You will have number advantage so you have a chance to win."

Looking at the faces, which showed no hope, Veer felt an urge to smack all of them, so he shouted. "The hell you all are getting depressed about? The match hasn't even began."

"If you're giving up so early, then I will also stop giving you my version of Synth Soup," Veer scoffed. "Just resign already."

Some of them felt offended from his words, but aside from some whispers, nobody dared to speak up. Even Rock stayed silent, as he agreed with Veer.

"Listen! I can't do anything if you all don't even see yourself winning against them," Veer sighed. "Unless you're willing to work hard, even if I told you some heaven defying strategy, you will fail."

The triplets gritted their teeth in sync, as Victor spoke, "Boss! You don't need to say anything further. I will form my Mana Core this month and work hard to defeat those arrogant bastards of Second Years."

Soon, all of them began to shout as the atmosphere burned with flames of resolution and determination. This was what Veer wanted.

'No way I'm spending all of my time for you guys,' Veer rolled his eyes and said. "I will think of a plan for you but I need some time."

Then he turned towards Elara and Liliana and asked, "Can you two help us?"

"I was thinking of a plan for my girls anyways so I don't mind a few more," Elara shrugged. "I will take the Warrior path one."

"I will handle the Mage Path then," Liliana said, as usual keeping it short.

"Good! I'll form the plan for them then," Veer smiled and then addressed the crowd. "Just follow me, work hard, and I'll make sure you're at the top."

"Boss is the best!"

"Heh! You have our eternal loyalty Boss!"

"Haha! I will show those bastards what we are capable off. Boss! You will always be my boss!"

"Don't shout, bastards," Veer's lips twitched as he smashed Kael's head. "Go and choose whatever you want."

The crowd slowly dispersed, though not before giving another thanks to the trio. They really felt they could achieve anything with them as their head.

After everyone chose their set of spells and techniques, the professor sent them outside.

There was a small break after the class, so the students went on to do their own work, while Veer went to a park with his girlfriends.

Sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree, Veer felt relaxed and sleepy. He even dozed off a few times, but Elara woke him up.

"Why are you helping them?" Elara asked, as she held Veer's head and pushed it on her thighs.

"What do you mean?" Veer asked, not resisting at all as he enjoyed her lap.

"You are kind, Veer," Liliana said. "Even if you like to deny it, we know it. However, we also know you wouldn't go out of your way to help them so much, even giving them the time you can use for your own growth."

Veer stayed silent and closed his eyes. After lingering for a while, he sighed, "You two are really stubborn and idiots."

"Just tell us already," Elara pinched his cheeks.

"Oii!" Veer slapped her hand away and asked. "You didn't check the forums, right?"

"No? Was there something important?" Elara asked.

"Yes, there are many factions in this Academy. Most of them are very old and have deep roots in not only academy but in outside world too," Veer said. "I don't want to join them so I will make my own faction."
