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

Chapter 49 Closed Training

Carlson's words silenced Aron as he remembered the news they had received earlier in the day. Apparently, Veer had become the leader of the Second Dormitory.

To prove his strength, he had punched Rock and forced him to take a defensive stance. It wasn't an easy task, as Rock was the second-strongest First Year before the three abnormalities arrived.

It was clear that Veer wasn't weak, even if he wasn't the strongest.

"You get it, don't you?" Carlson smiled as he finished one side of the Rubik's cube. "He played it all. He knew very well that there were cameras, so he led Jason there and acted as if he was scared. A crafty fellow, huh?"

Aron was shocked, as he couldn't understand how Veer could have made these plans. Many things didn't sit well with the way things happened, but he didn't say anything.

"It is always good to overestimate our enemies instead of underestimating them," Carlson said, narrowing his eyes at the puzzle before him.

He smiled and clenched his fist, crushing the Rubik's cube into many pieces. "I'm best in fights, not mind games, so I'll just crush him in the Selections. Till then, let them do whatever they want because, in the end..."

He let the pieces slip through his hand with a grin plastered on his face. "I will be the winner."

Shaking his head, Carlson stood up and said, "If you want to do anything, I won't stop you. But do remember that I won't support you in that. Sending Jason was your idea, and now we have to deal with his punishment."

Aron bowed his head and accepted Carlson's words, as it was he who had failed.

"I'm going into closed training till the Selections," Carlson announced. "And I suggest you all also focus on improving rather than playing around. Strength is what matters in this world. If you are strong, nothing can stop you."

Everyone bowed before him as Carlson left the room. He was determined to get the first place in the Selections, no matter what.

For that, he needed to be strong—stronger than anyone.

...

On the morning of a new day, Veer woke up, completely refreshed and ready to perform his duties. After taking care of his morning necessities, Veer descended from his top floor.

Arriving at the ground floor, the first thing he needed to do was prepare the meal for everyone. It wasn't a task he hated, as it just helped him practice his mana control, so he happily did it.

After everyone had their fill, Veer climbed onto a table, gathering everyone's attention. By now, everyone in the Second Dormitory had accepted him as their leader from their hearts.

Their two major problems—food and living conditions—were solved by this man. They were incredibly happy with him.

Clearing his throat, Veer addressed the crowd, "Hello, boys. As you all requested before, I have formed a plan for you. So, are you ready for one month of intense training?"

"Hell yeah! We can finally beat their asses!"

"Nobody told me that there are people lusting after boys' asses!"

"Boss! We will follow your orders and work hard!"

"While being hard!?"

"Who the hell are you, bastard?"

"Hello, brothers. I'm a newbie here."

The hall burst into a cacophony of excited screams and laughter. They had been dreading the Selections, mostly because they knew they weren't strong enough to compete in it.

They wanted to become strong and had been working hard. However, the results weren't so good, as they couldn't even focus properly because of their messed-up lives.

Now, they could finally focus and even had a leader who could guide them forward. Their happiness knew no bounds.

"All right, calm down!" Veer shouted loudly. But the boys were too happy and didn't hear his voice.

With a loud thump, Veer slammed his leg on the same table he was standing on, breaking it into pieces, as he shouted once again, "Bastards, I'll open your heads and pour acid inside."

With that, the boys calmed down and bowed before Veer in apologies. Hearing his words, they all felt a chill as they swore to never mess with their boss. He was scary.

Sighing, Veer gestured to Rock to shift the broken table aside. He himself once again climbed onto a different table and said, his voice echoing in the hall, "We will be heading towards the Serene Lotus Park, and I will explain everything there. But remember this..."

His eyes turned to slits as he gazed at everyone, his voice taking a serious tone. "I want discipline."

"Yes, Boss!!"

The boys said in unison.

"Good! Let's go." Veer jumped down and turned towards the triplets. "I will leave them to you all and go there first."

The triplets nodded and began organizing the boys. They were still a bunch of teenagers gathered together, but Veer wanted them to become a force to reckon with. And that needed strict discipline first and foremost.

After giving Rock some tasks, Veer left the dormitory and ran towards the entrance gate. Passing through the large metal gate, he met Old Niel and shouted, "Don't die, old man!"

"I will die after your children, brat," Old Niel shot back. "Oh! I forgot, you might not even get them."

Veer almost stumbled hearing that and wanted to argue back. But remembering that he had stolen from Old Neil's stuff, he decided to be a good person and forget.

"If I wasn't in a hurry, I'd show you who Veer truly is," Veer snorted and ran towards the Serene Lotus Park.

Sitting on his favorite chair, Old Neil looked at Veer's figure and shook his head. "I hope you don't die because of your mouth, brat."

After that, he took out a small bowl and looked at the contents in it. The thick green liquid certainly didn't entice him, but he was curious as to what Veer had done with it.

And that curiosity was killing him, especially since Veer had stolen the Red Horn from his garden.

Full of reluctance, he finally managed to scoop a mouthful of Synth Soup and put it in his mouth.

In the next moment, his taste buds were attacked by an incredible sweetness, as if they would melt in it. But it was still not too extreme and kept the delicacy at a good level.

"How the hell did he make this from Red Horn Grass?" Old Neil muttered after finishing all the Synth Soup.

Determined to find out the secret, he stood up and went to his garden. Today, he would awaken his old blood.
