Dragon's Pride

"Oh? You're unaware, shame. You placed third on the certification exam leader board. Your name is already known far and wide. But unfortunately, I'm going to need you to come with me without taking advantage of that." 

"Third place? What the hell?" Dyon's lip twitched. 

In truth, those watching trying to breathe as softly as possible felt a bit bad for him. They believed he was lamenting how quickly his life of fame was ending. But, his next words left them speechless. 

"Why didn't anyone tell me there was a leader board? You're telling me there's two people who think they're better than me? What bullshit." 

The Dragon King, seemingly used to Dyon, laughed uproariously. 

"Indeed, you should have put in a bit more effort instead of messing around. Unfortunately, there's only one chance to take your first certification exam." 

"Tsk…" Dyon's lip curled, clearly not very happy. "… So you know what this thing is? Is that what the three means?"
