Chapter 25

People were terrified due to the sudden appearance of a dragon. They did not expect something so dangerous to appear so openly.

"AHHHHH!" Multiple people screamed. The students all scattered around, trying to find a place to hide behind. But how could they do so when there was nothing to hide behind in the first place.

The dragon's blood-red eyes stared straight at the terrified group and spewed out flames. The flames traveled at high speed and directly burning everything. If not for Yue, who created a high-ranked water barrier to block the dragon's breath, then the heroes would've been roasted.

"Everybody! Stay calm!" Aiko yelled to her students and trying to calm them.

It worked. The students who previously had a scared expression on their faces began to calm down after hearing their teacher's shout. Out of all those present, excluding Seal and his group, Aiko was the calmest. In addition, she was their caring teacher; she wouldn't allow them to get hurt or die.

Contrary to every students' thoughts, she was, in fact, also terrified of the menacing dragon but decided to suppress that fear to help her students. Her personality and morals as a teacher won't allow her to abandon her students.

"Get behind me." Yue's voice sounded.

The students hurriedly hid behind Yue as they saw that she could cast high-ranked magic without any effort.

She was their strongest person.

That was their conclusion. Although if Seal or his group, they surely would've laughed. Especially Yue, as she knows that Seal was much stronger than her and Shea. Whether in terms of magic power or physical strength.

Meanwhile, Seal was facing off against the dragon.

'Appraisal.' Seal checked out the dragon's stats.

︻

Name: Tio Klarus

Gender: Female

Race: Dragon

Level: 79

Strength:〈Tier 3〉

'Her stats are not that bad.' Seal thought. She was almost a bit stronger than Shea and on par with Yue.

The dragon didn't wait for her opponent as she launches a massive fireball at Seal. She failed to notice the dangerous aura radiating off of Seal.

Perhaps the dragon would've noticed if she was in her right mind. Otherwise, if she did, she would've had second thoughts about attacking him.

Instead of dodging, he created a similar-sized water ball to counter the fireball. He knew that Yue wouldn't be able to handle another attack from the dragon. Yes, she could cast another high-ranked water barrier, but it requires her to chant a series of words, and by that time, another attack from the dragon would've hit them.

A loud explosion sounded when the water ball collided with the fireball. Water vapor covered the heroes' vision, and they couldn't see anything but shadows anymore.

Everyone could see two shadows fighting from under the water vapor. At first, anyone would think the bigger one would win against the smaller shadow. But, behind that curtain of water vapor, the large shadow fought a one-sided battle with the smaller one. The fight ended with the former losing and the latter winning.

The two shadows were none other than Seal and Tio, the dragon.

When the water ball collided with the fireball, Seal immediately appeared in front of the dragon and kicked it.

Seeing the scene where Seal kicked the dragon, many of the heroes thought it was foolish since they knew how hard the dragon's body is. But the next scene left their jaws hanging.

When Seal's leg landed with the dragon, the heroes expected Seal to scream while holding his leg in pain. Never had they expected that his kick would send the dragon crashing to the ground!

But who could blame them? It was just that Seal was different from their average adventurer. If it had been anyone else, then breaking a leg or two is normal.

While they were shocked, Yue was smirking at them from the side. They had the same reactions she did when she first saw his physical strength.

Meanwhile, Seal was looking at the dragon lying in the pit with slightly widened eyes. He had used more than half of his strength to kick the dragon because he hoped that his powerful kick would awaken her from her crazed state.

But the plan didn't seem to go as planned. And instead, the dragon was covered in wounds and blood.

'I mean, wasn't she a hardcore masochist?' Seal thought inside his mind. To his understanding, she would've awakened from her wild state if she received enough pain.

"...Do I have to use that...?" Seal mumbled while shivering because an image of a long and thick metal rod flashed through his mind. But If he increases his strength on the next kick, the dragon might die.

Seal silently pulled out a pole made of metal that he would use as a backup plan.

The dragon has one vulnerable spot, and that was—

"AAAAH! NOoOO~ NOt that SpoT~!" The dragon suddenly opened her eyes and let out a loud moan.

Seal stabbed the pole into a hole located at the dragon's rear.

"Please, take it out!" The dragon urgently begged Seal.

"I can't stay in this form for any longer as I barely have any mana left!" The dragon continued in the same tone as she noticed that Seal kept on pushing it in.

Meanwhile, the heroes were watching the scene in astonishment and shock. Astonishment that Seal stabbed the rod into the dragon's rear. And shock that the dragon sounded happy and not in pain. They hurriedly covered their rear as if they were afraid something would penetrate them just like the dragon.

Was it their misconception, or did the dragon seem in pleasure...?

"Anyways, can you please remove that thing inside my rear? You don't want to see the sight of a beautiful young woman with a hard and thick rod sticking out of her rear, do you?" The dragon tried her final best to persuade Seal to get rid of the blockade in her rear. And it seems to have worked.

"A-AH no, not so fast!"

Seal grabbed onto the pole and pulled it out of her. The sudden exit of the hard thing caused the dragon to let out another moan of pleasure.

∎∎∎

"Ahem, let me introduce myself. My name is Tio Klarus."

After calming down, the dragon introduced herself in her human form.
