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

Chapter 42 Collapse of Third Dormitory

After spending some time with Liliana and Elara, Veer attended two more classes. Then, he separated from his girlfriends as they had something to do.

Walking back to his dormitory since it was almost evening, Veer was going through the spells he had chosen.

'Hmm! So, the spells are all about runes, and we just need to learn to form these runes with our mana correctly,' Veer thought. 'Only carving can work, but if one wants to bring out the true potential of the spell, they need to understand it. How does this work?'

Even in his free time, he needed to focus on this, as at night he would have to practice the Primordial Arcane Forge technique. Not to mention, he also needed to fulfill his duties as the leader.

"Ah! These spells are really fascinating," his eyes glistened as he once again tried to remember every detail about the spells.

In the next moment, however, his eyes turned sharp, losing all the excitement. Instantly, he kicked the ground and jumped forward.

With a loud boom, the ground where he had been standing cracked, throwing dust into the air.

Veer stopped behind a tree and looked back, thinking, 'There shouldn't be any assassination attempts in the academy... Ah! It's someone from the First Dormitory!'

Looking at a muscular man standing above the cracked ground, Veer tried to guess his identity and a silly smiled appeared on his face.

With a big hammer on his shoulder, the man pointed at Veer and said in a crooked voice, "You have some skills. Unfortunately, you—"

However, he didn't get the chance to finish his words as his target had already run away like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on. Within a second, Veer had gained considerable distance from him.

Not looking back, Veer shouted, "Your voice is even worse than the crow people! So, keep some distance from me and don't talk to me."

"Bastard! You dare compare this mighty Jason to those filthy birds!" the man roared, chasing after Veer. His superiors had told him to ignore Veer's words, but only now he understood why.

The bastard surely knew how to step on people's weaknesses.

"Hey! Hey! That's racist, you know," Veer shouted, maintaining his speed and running toward the dormitories. "I can report you and get you banned. This is a PG-13 server!"

"PG my ass! If you've got guts, then stop and fight me!" Jason gritted his teeth and tried to increase his speed. But no matter how fast he ran, he just couldn't close the distance between them.

"I didn't know you had such strange fetishes," Veer shouted again, a smile forming on his lips. "But sorry, I won't peg your ass!"

Jason almost stumbled at that, finding it difficult to say anything. With his blood boiling in anger, he charged at Veer with greater speed, ignoring reason altogether.

"Thanks in advance!"

Jason heard a soft whisper close to his ear and got confused. But he didn't have time to think as something hard slammed into his body—and shattered.

That wasn't the end, as his momentum carried him forward, slamming him into several solid surfaces. When he finally came to a halt, his vision darkened as something heavy dropped onto him, robbing him of consciousness.

Looking at the destruction before him, Veer flinched and thought, 'He should survive, right?'

What lay before him was utter destruction: the entire Third Dormitory had collapsed, raising clouds of dust everywhere.

The loud sound alerted everyone in the dormitories, and many students came out to see what had occurred. They found the third building collapsed, the dust settling slowly.

Victor was among the first to arrive on the scene. He found Veer standing on the sidelines, watching everything. Surprised, he walked toward him and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing much! Just an angry bull charged in and destroyed everything," Veer said, smiling from ear to ear.

"Bull? How did it even get into the academy?" Victor asked, scratching his spiky orange hair.

"Let's wait!" Veer said as he sat down on the grass. Noticing his smile, Victor found the situation suspicious and decided to wait too.

The other students gossiped about the sudden collapse of the Third Dormitory, though most weren't too surprised. After all, the Third Dormitory was in poor condition, and its collapse seemed inevitable.

Even after some time, nobody left the scene. They knew someone from the academy would come to investigate, as this had never happened before.

They were right. Around ten minutes after the dormitory collapsed, a beautiful woman descended from the skies, like an angel coming down from the heavens.

The students would have loved to admire her, but knowing who she was, they didn't dare and kept their heads down.

Except for one.

Veer's smile stiffened when he saw her and thought, 'Why is someone like her here?'

As the woman landed, the students greeted her in unison. "Good evening, Dean."

"Good evening," the woman, Freya, nodded at them before turning to the rubble of the Third Dormitory.

She frowned, the expression vanishing only when her gaze landed on Veer, who sat closest to the building.

Her lips twitched as she thought, 'In just one day, you've caused so much drama here.'

"Who was the first to arrive at the scene?" Freya asked, already expecting the answer.

Everyone pointed at Veer, recalling that he'd been there before anyone else.

'So it really is you,' Freya thought as she approached him. Looming over him, she ordered, "Tell me what happened. Everything!"

'I'll be damned,' Veer sighed, trying to recall if he'd made any mistakes. As he thought, he recounted the events to Freya.

"After classes, I was coming back, but midway, someone attacked me. As you know, I have a useless aspect and am very weak, so I had no choice but to run," Veer said in a heartfelt voice, even choking on his words to appear frightened.

Hearing the story, Freya rolled her eyes, thinking, 'I swear this guy must have a second aspect of being thick-skinned.'

Still, she ignored her thoughts and said, "That doesn't explain how the building collapsed."
