"What are you thinking this time?" Ethan snorted forgetting Savannah was in the room for a moment, "Is this going to be like when we went to the park?"

"You're the one that broke that kids leg in the park?" Savannah startled Ethan by her presence.

"Conrad had it coming," I growled, "Bastards been burning everyone he thinks of as less than him for a long time." I turned my full focus on Ethan, "Get used to her. She's not going anywhere." Switching my focus over to Savannah, "And until you find out more about the backlash I might experience if I stay transformed too much I should stay in my real body as much as possible."

I huffed out a out a small burst of sparks through my nostrils.

"Which is why I'm going to be stuck in this room a lot?" I scooted back in my room slowly as I dropped my head.

"Are you pouting?" Savannah chuckled.

I huffed dropping my head to the floor slowly. I didn't like being told I was pouting, but I literally couldn't get mad at them about something like that. I had to arch my neck a little to lay my head down comfortably in the amount of space between me, and them. Ethan leaned down, and started scratching between my horns. My chest started vibrating as a purr made it's way down my long throat.

A small bit of air hissed out from between my teeth as I relaxed into the feeling. My wings sagging as I got really into the feeling.

"Are you just petting him?" Savannah whispered to Ethan.

My eyes cracked open sightly as Ethan paused in his scratching. His fear at being near another human being resurfacing. I half huffed half growled as I gave Savannah a dirty look. Savannah was on the opposite end of the spectrum emotionally. She thought this was funny.

Amusement. She found this amusing.

"I liked that," I snorted as I raised my head slowly.

Now I was a bit moody. I stepped back in my room, and closed the door. My bed was still slammed into the wall, and quite frankly that was the only reason I fit well enough to resemble comfort. My tail had grown to be really long even if I flexed it into my body, and lined it up against myself I could still see the tip going past my nose. I should figure out a way to take advantage of this.

I slapped the length of my tail into the floor with a ridiculous amount of speed, and the rug was sliced clean from the impact alone. I pulled the rug to the side, and saw that there was similar damage to the floor underneath. If I'd swung my tail much harder I could have broken the floor entirely. I pushed the rug back into place. It was a good thing we didn't just go into each others rooms very often.

I worried a little that there might be a room inspection, but I could probably blame it on Ethan, and he would probably cover for me. Right now I had one pressing thing on my mind, and I'd forgotten to discuss it with Ethan, and Savannah. I opened my mouth to maximum slowly. I could feel the moment my fangs started extending. I stopped before the venom started flowing.

I had a venom problem. I couldn't extend my jaws completely without dropping some of my black venom on the floor. I snapped my jaws closed. I needed to find out what my venom affected as well as how effective it was on anything that wasn't living. It didn't have a problem turning my shirt to stone even with it diluted by my spit.

What was I supposed to do with basilisk venom hiding in my jaws? I wasn't in the mood to deal with this right now. Part of me wanted Ethan to scratch between my horns again. Another part of me wanted to just destroy this room so I had enough space to stretch out properly. I knew I technically could with how easily I could slice the rug with just speed, and not any actual strength behind it.

I really needed to think about what to do about my venom. I really needed to ask Savannah about it all. She'd probably know what to do about the whole venom thing. I wasn't sure how I was going to open the conversation though. Maybe it was better just to be blunt as usual.

I sighed heavily. Now not being tired was a negative. I pulled up a map of the school on my watch. As usual the wristband stretched to fit my form, but it was actually looking like the wristband was getting a bit thin on my bigger wrist. System will my growth slow down now that I've evolved?

Users physical growth will not slow until user reaches adult age.

Wait what? System you said slow not stop.

Dragon's do not stop growing in their lifetime.

I won't ever stop growing. Just how big would I get. Maybe I'd have to consider slowing down on the whole leveling up thing again. If I kept growing like this I wouldn't fit in my room anymore in just a few more levels. I tensed up slowly as I started reeling at the thought.

I couldn't just stagnate though. It really was only a matter of time before someone figured out something was off about me. Even if my temper was under better control now. Then there was the whole problem of the potential backlash from overusing my physical camouflage ability. I felt my wings pull in tight to my back.

No leveling up was my best chance at surviving when I was found out. As a dragon my physical strength, and speed had far surpassed what the average human could do. Then there was my massively expanding mana reservoir. I still didn't feel like I was at max capacity there either. Could I expand it the same way I'd done with Savannah's?

No. Not here. It was too risky. When I didn't have much mana I could flaunt it a lot easier without getting noticed, and even then Savannah noticed. She just wrote it off, but she did notice.
