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

Chapter 71 Final Rest

Hearing the loud sound of something crashing, Veer quickly went outside, only to see the scene he wanted to avoid. He sighed in exasperation and thought, 'Ah! Boy! Here we go again.'

There stood Aurora and Elara facing each other while Liliana just went to stand on the sides. Somehow, she also had gotten a mango juice, which she was enjoying while looking at them.

'Wait! What is she doing here?' Veer got a little confused and jumped in between them. "Stop! Stop! Are you gonna fight here? Really?"

Aurora smiled seeing Veer and bowed lightly, as she said in her sweet voice, "Good afternoon, Veer."

'Ah! I forgot she's in public,' Veer rolled his eyes and nodded at her. "Good afternoon, Aur..ora..."

He shook his head and asked, "That aside, why the hell are you fighting now?"

"We got the same room," Elara snorted, crossing her arms under her ample chest.

Looking at it for a moment, Veer asked, "Then, just share for now. More importantly, why is a Second Year here?"

"Oh! About that, some of the Second Years are also coming along," Aurora said, having a sweet smile on her face. "Normally, only First Years will enter the Labyrinth, but due to the danger Abnormal ones pose, some of the Second Years were also deployed."

"I see," Veer said, as he fell into thoughts. 'Are there any limitations? There should be...ah! Why didn't I ask Dean?'

He would have thought more about it, but he was feeling two cold glares passing through him, which made his head hurt. He took a deep breath and said, "El, come with me for a second."

Elara grumbled slightly but still nodded.

Veer felt relieved seeing that and turned towards Liliana, gesturing her towards Aurora. She sighed and gave a weak nod.

Fortunately, there were only a few handful of students, so the matter didn't become big. As Veer stepped forward, his phone buzzed.

He stopped, as he heard similar buzzes from others' phones too. Curious, he took it out and saw a text from Dean in their Server:

[Be ready by evening. Things have changed and the Labyrinth is showing signs of opening. You have two hours before we will head to the Bloodthorn Labyrinth.]

'Did that Corrupted Dragon sense Liliana and me?' Veer narrowed his eyes, as he found the situation odd. He turned towards Liliana and she also had a frown etched on her face.

"Guess we'll be leaving quickly," Elara grinned as she shot a glance at Aurora. "I'll let you off, Hydra bitch."

"The feelings are mutual, Muscle brain," Aurora smiled and spoke. Her voice was sweet and polite, yet her words were quite the opposite.

"Tsk! This is the reason I call you two-faced bitch," Elara clicked her tongue in disgust and ignored her.

Aurora also ignored Elara and closed in slowly towards Veer. She then whispered, "I will try to forget our situation for the time being since I don't want to die in there. We can solve it later, so can I have your trust in this?"

"Are you really asking this?" Veer snickered.

"I am asking that," Aurora looked in his eyes and said, losing her polite demeanor for a moment. She quickly got into her act again and said, "Anyway, just try not to die there."

"Same to you," Veer smiled as he raised his hand, but ultimately put it down.

Aurora looked at his hand with bitterness in her eyes, then she turned around and left the area. Her steps steady and her walk elegant as always.

"Boss, should I call others?" Rock asked, finally seeing the opportunity to speak.

Veer shook his head and said, "Let them rest. We don't know when we will have this time again."

"I'll tell them," Rock nodded and he also left.

Veer turned towards Elara and said, "Can't you at least try to ignore her?"

"I can, but the moment she starts talking, I feel disgust in my stomach," Elara shrugged. Your next chapter awaits on empire

He shook his head and said, "Forget it! Let's rest for now. There is nothing much we can do anyway."

The trio then spent the next two hours talking with each other. Sometimes it got serious where they talked about the enemy they could face in the Bloodthorn Labyrinth. Sometimes it was just randomly blabbering.

They didn't care, as they just wanted to spend time with each other because of the uncertain future.

As they were too engrossed in their conversation, they didn't notice that they had not closed the door. A blonde elf saw everything from there, how they smiled genuinely with each other.

Clenching her fist hard, Aurora thought as her body trembled, 'I should be in that place. It should be me. Why didn't you choose me, Veer? Why not me?'

In the end, she couldn't see any more of their interaction, as her heart was just full of bitterness. So, she left them alone and went to prepare one last time before going to the Bloodthorn Labyrinth.

Her eyes burned with intense resolve and determination as she thought, 'Just wait for me. I will make you regret your decision, Veer.'

...

The two hours passed quickly, and the students who barely had any rest were quickly called down. Some of them were nervous, some just indifferent, while others were excited.

As he stood in a group of more than a hundred students, all wearing a black suit with yellow strips, Veer felt speechless. However, he also knew the reason for the black suit.

It was an F-Tier defensive Armour, the best Starlight Academy had to offer for them. It had some enhancements, and the most important one was [Regeneration.] As long as one fed it mana, it could regenerate back to its original state. Not to mention it could help them with terrible temperatures.

Veer would have liked to see its status. Sadly, the system was still evolving.

'It is still pretty good looking,' Veer thought, as he felt the texture of the suit. '9/10!'

With a small gust of wind hitting their faces, they saw someone landing before them. As usual, Freya made her entry through the air.

She had changed her attire to her battle suit, which was actually pretty simple. But it did make any boy have a nosebleed.
