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

Chapter 41 Plans

Whenever Veer got some free time, he would browse the Academy forum and try to learn as much as he could about the Academy.

From there, he got to know how the Academy truly worked and how it was just starting. Of course, he needed to filter a lot of false information before finding anything useful.

"Factions?" Liliana raised an eyebrow and asked. "There are departments, and now there are factions too?"

"Yup! And most of the top ones have a history of many years," Veer nodded. "These factions are made by students alone, and sometimes these students become professors or simple staff of the Academy."

"Ah! So they have the connections," Elara exclaimed. "So, the Academy is basically ruled by these factions, right?"

"Pretty much, yeah, as these factions control the resource allocation, even though it's under the departments," Veer sighed. "Unfortunately, even the top students of the departments belong to some factions, so it all comes down to which faction you belong to and which department you're in."

"Then you chose the right path," Liliana nodded. "Making a faction right now would be good, as we can even use it in the outside world. Sadly, they're all too weak or have low potential to actually face our enemies."

"No worries there," Veer laughed lightly. "Even if they aren't the best, I will make them very good at what they do."

"By the way, what are the requirements for making a faction?" Elara asked.

"Have ten willing members and be a Gold-Rank," Veer closed his eyes and said. "And yes, there are ranks for students too. Apparently, after we officially get into the Academy as first-years, we can have access to Cyberscape."

Hearing his words, a strange look appeared on both girls' faces as they looked down at Veer. Elara tried to control herself but, in the end, laughed out loud.

"Haha! I still can't believe they didn't choose the name you suggested even though you were the one who proposed that concept," Elara laughed while slapping Veer on his shoulder.

"I know, right!? Bastards took everything except the name," Veer turned his head to look at Elara and screamed. "VibeNet is such a vibe. They should have taken it."

Liliana chuckled softly as she looked at her friends arguing over something so trivial. She had a reserved personality that hadn't gone away even after so many years.

So, most of the time, she just liked to stay on the sidelines and enjoy life. She could have talked more and teased Veer, but she just wanted to stay by the side and enjoy his smile.

'I will make sure you never lose that smile,' Liliana smiled. 'Just like you did.'

"Alright! Arguing with a dumb girl will only prove there are two," Veer snorted and stood up. "Anyways, what I was saying was that we need to do certain things, like battling and rising in ranks to reach Gold-Rank. Only then can we form a faction in the CS."

"I see," Elara rested her back on the bench and said. "I can do the physical training part of your faction then. Lily can take the magic part, but explanations and all will be done by you."

"Thanks, as always," Veer grinned. "We will need to watch out for traitors, though. There's no way there won't be betrayals—I can smell it through my protagonist halo."

"We can deal with that later. For now, tell me how you plan to start the training," Elara causally ignored his remark and asked. "You're not going to sacrifice your own training to help them, right?"

"No way I'm doing that," Veer waved his hand. "I'll message you all when I think of a plan. For now, let's talk about us. I think I'll need some time before I can form my Mana Core. What about you two?"

"I should be done with it in a week," Liliana said after thinking for a moment. "El should also be done in like ten days. We all are a little late in this."

"So we should have approximately three weeks to prepare for the selections," Veer rubbed his chin in thought. "That should be enough for us, but I don't want to underestimate the second years, especially since they have Aurora with them."

"Don't remind me of that bitch," Elara's eyes blazed as she gritted her teeth. "I can't believe she followed you all the way here. Heh! But it's good—I will show her my strength and make sure she stays seven thousand kilometers away."

"Oii! She is a year older than you and awakened a year earlier than you," Veer sighed. "It won't be an easy fight if she decides to scheme against us, which I'm pretty sure she will."

"I hate to admit it, but you're right," Elara calmed down and nodded. "She is in a class of her own, and I'm not even sure I can defeat her, even in hand-to-hand combat."

"By the way, I've been curious. How did you offend her?" Liliana asked, seemingly confused about the situation.

Veer flinched and looked away. Scratching his cheek, he said, "Well, let's just say I messed up, and now she's here to take revenge, probably."

"And I won't let her," Elara snorted. "Even though she's strong, I will become much stronger than that two-faced bitch."

"I see!" Liliana nodded.

"So, the conclusion of this short meeting is very simple. We will need to work our asses off if we want to beat the second years," Veer said, grinning. "Sounds like a good deal to me."

"Hmm, you can leave the information gathering to me," Liliana played with her hair and smiled. "I have my own means of getting the biodata of anyone you want."

"Yes, that will be incredibly useful," Veer held Liliana's hand and kissed her cheek. "Here's your reward."

Liliana blushed and looked down, which surprised her two friends as they chuckled softly.

"Don't laugh," Liliana pouted. "I... just find it a little embarrassing."

"Even though you jumped on him multiple times before others," Elara grinned and teased her even more.

'Ah! How can I tell them that even though Veer confirmed our relationship, we weren't able to do anything physical because the calamity arrived,' Liliana looked down at her stomach and felt even worse as a thought appeared in her head.

'Two times virgin.'
