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

Chapter 45 The Devil

There was a reason Veer went out of his way to get the Third Dormitory destroyed. If Freya used the materials to rebuild it, all of his efforts would be useless.

"Dean, the materials are very old and in bad condition. Isn't that the reason that guy was able to destroy it so easily?" Veer tried to convince her. "It will be very bad if some student got injured from a building collapse again, right?"

"We will use more materials, so you don't need to worry about this matter," Freya smiled and said.

"But it's better to be safe than sorry, right?" Veer's lips twitched as he asked. "Besides, the Academy is rich, so they can surely build a new building, right?"

"Not really," Freya shook her head. "Our Academy is in a bad financial situation, actually, so we can't afford that."

Veer pursed his lips and said, "Then, I wish to suggest a change in dormitories."

"Ho? And what would that be?" Freya got interested and asked.

"The Third Dormitory is supposed to represent slums, but it isn't that different from the Second Dormitory, right?" Veer said, pointing at the Second Dormitory.

He smiled and said, "There is a difference between middle-class and slums, right?"

"And?" Freya frowned.

"I am just requesting you to improve the living conditions there," Veer said. "I know it'll affect the Academy's finances, so how about this? You don't need to do anything, just give the Second Dormitory the duty of throwing away the leftovers of the Third Dormitory."

'This brat...' Freya smiled, as she understood why Veer did all this drama. It was to get materials to improve the living conditions of the Second Dormitory.

Getting materials in the Academy wasn't impossible, but it would certainly cost them a lot, so he laid his eyes on the broken structure of the Third Dormitory.

But he couldn't just take it for himself, so he used someone else to destroy it and then used the trash for his dormitory.

'I won't let you have these so easily,' Freya smiled as she opened her mouth to say something. However, at that moment, her expression changed as her head snapped to her left.

Frowning, she thought, 'Why are they here?'

"Dean, what about my proposal?" Veer asked, noticing the change in her look.

"Just do whatever you want with the remnants," Freya waved her hand and said, still frowning.

Then, without giving Veer a chance to speak, she kicked her feet against the ground and flew away.

"Woah! I actually managed to convince her so easily," Veer muttered in surprise, but then he remembered how Freya was in a hurry to leave.

'Something must have happened,' Veer thought as he turned towards his fellow students, who were now his followers.

With a wide grin on his face, he shouted, "Boys, pick up everything! We're going to renovate our home!!"

"Hell yeah! Boss is the best!"

"Uuu! Now I can finally sleep properly!"

While Veer was celebrating his small victory with his friends, Freya was flying high above the Star City at a terrible speed.

Her long white hair fluttered in the wind as her blue eyes focused ahead. As a Wind Mage of Grandmaster Stage, she had no problem flying at high speeds, especially considering she had a powerful body to withstand the pressure.

Finally, she reached the outskirts of the city and stopped as she looked at a dark patch in the distance. It was as if black ink had spilled across the sky.

As she slowly got closer to it, her frown deepened as she recognized the mana and aura leaking out from the dark patch.

As soon as Freya got into its range, she was finally able to see the dark patch clearly. It was a hole in space itself, with tendrils of darkness snaking out of it.

But they weren't the only things coming out of the hole.

A figure draped in dark robes from head to toe stepped out from the hole. There was nothing clear about it except the fact that it had a humanoid figure.

Looking at the figure, Freya raised her hand as winds picked up around her. In a commanding voice, she said, "I thought there was an agreement that we wouldn't invade each other's lands."

The dark-robed figure's body shook slightly as a sinister voice leaked out of its confines. "Hehe, of course, there is an agreement, but it was mostly so that we don't attack each other. I am only here to keep an eye on a certain someone, so it doesn't count as a breach of the agreement."

"And who might that be?" Freya asked, still pointing her hand toward the dark-robed figure.

"I can't tell you that as the orders came from my higher-ups," the figure spoke again, its voice neutral, making it hard to guess the gender. "But I will say this one thing: do not meddle in our matters; otherwise, you won't be able to afford the consequences. And it is serious since this command... Ah! I can't tell you that."

'Someone from its higher-ups? Are nobles involved?' Freya lowered her hand but kept her guard up. "Then you wouldn't mind having a tracker on you, right? You were checking my students out, right?"

"This perception of yours scares me," the figure chuckled. "As expected from you, Blue Wind."

Freya snorted and flicked her fingers as the color of the sky changed, turning into a blinding flash of green. When the flash died down, the dark-robed figure was left standing in a translucent sphere.

The hole in the space was no more, and the dark tendrils also vanished as if they were never there.

However, even with all of this, the figure didn't move from its place, simply staring at Freya. It raised its hand and touched the green sphere, only to take it back immediately.

"Are you trying to break the agreement, Freya?" the figure hissed as it jerked its hand.

"Don't make me repeat myself," Freya said, her voice cold and utterly devoid of any emotion. "Next time I see you spying on my students, I will forget we ever had any agreement to begin with."

"Haha! Good! You really are gutsy," the figure laughed loudly, its sinister voice suppressing the sound of the wind. "Fine! I will leave today, but remember one thing, Freya Frostwind. You are nurturing the very devil who will bring this world to it's end."

With that, the figure took out a small amulet and crushed it, disappearing from the sphere.

Freya let the sphere disperse as she stared into the empty space. Her mind replayed the figure's words, 'The devil who will bring this world to it's end, huh. Veer, I hope you don't disappoint me or anyone who has placed their bets on you.'
