CHAPTER – />STER> 9< THE CR9SS NEC'4ACE

“Whoa! Baolilong’s dad is catching up! God, did the three-headed hound suck that bad?

It sure got taken care of really quickly

"aiser slo#ed his pace for only $ust a %o%ent to look behind hi%, and he i%%ediately

sa# the corridor behind the% #as being crushed under tre%endous #eight of a Black

&ragon #ith blood-red eyes, furiously chasing after the%

'uddenly, (einan tripped )e and *urity both fell on the ground, hard When +iola sa#

the%, he stopped, grabbed the% both, and said cal%ly “)urry

(einan said breathlessly “I can’t run any%ore

*urity, too, #as tre%bling “(y legs are petrified

+iola turned and sa# the Black &ragon #as already less than .// %eters a#ay fro%

the%, and it #as clearly %o0ing %uch faster than they #ere 1he Black &ragon #as

going to catch up to the% ine0itably

+iola yelled and stopped "aiser “"aiser, take the% #ith you to the sidelines (einan,

use your protecti0e shield, and if you find the chance, escape

“2re you really going to fight hi%? "aiser’s e3pression changed “2re you confident that

you can #in?

+iola didn’t reply +ogically, for hi% to escape fro% (iluo #asn’t hard )o#e0er,

defeating (iluo #asn’t an easy feat, especially considering his current condition )is

in$uries fro% the pre0ious fight #eren’t fully healed, his ankle bone broken, plus he can’t

kill

“+iola, if you don’t kill hi%, he #ill definitely kill you! "aiser had probably guessed #hat

+iola #as thinking, and then added



“Besides, that &ragon isn’t a person "illing hi% shouldn’t be breaking your pro%ise,

right?

‘Is that so…?’ +iola didn’t ha0e ti%e to hesitate (iluo, #ho #as hundreds of %eters

a#ay %o%ents ago, #as already in front of the%, in a %atter of seconds

+iola turned his head, #anting to tell "aiser to back a#ay 4onetheless, "aiser could

so%eti%es be quite s#ift By the ti%e +iola looked at (iluo, they had already ran back

to a hole in the #all, and #ere then surrounded by se0eral layers of protecti0e shield

When (iluo opened his %outh in an atte%pt to s#allo# +iola, +iola started his Blood

5luttering "i, and $u%ped using the &ragon’s #hiskers as tra%poline, launching hi%self

o0er the &ragon’s head +iola suddenly increased his #eight, and sto%ped on (iluo’s

head

If (iluo #as an ordinary person, the force #ould’0e been enough to crack his skull open

like a #ater%elon 6nfortunately, +iola had had $ust about e0ery kind of opponent,

e3cept an ordinary person

1hough it caused (iluo enough pain, to force hi% to let out a cry, it didn’t do %uch

da%age

(iluo angrily s#ung his head against the #all, trying to crush +iola #ho #as standing on

his head But #ith +iola’s agility, he #ould ne0er get hurt so easily )e $u%ped onto the

&ragon’s neck s#iftly, and easily e0aded (iluo’s attacks

(iluo cal%ed do#n after failing to get rid of +iola in se0eral hits (iluo said suddenly

“+ooks like that runt does ha0e an eye for talent "illing you #ould be a bit unfortunate

1he &ragon’s enor%ous body suddenly e%itted black s%oke

When +iola sa# the strange e0ent, he had already $u%ped do#n fro% the &ragon’s

neck )o#e0er, he didn’t kno# #hether he should take this opportunity to launch attack



)e had no idea #hat (iluo #as up to 1hough the s%oke see%ed har%less, but he

#asn’t sure if #ould fall into a trap by attacking #ithout resol0e

(ean#hile the black s%oke had co%pletely engulfed (iluo, and suddenly dispersed

(iluo, #ho #as originally as large as a %ountain, #as no# co0ered in a black s%oke of

only about a person’s height

1he black s%oke slo#ly returned to (iluo’s body, and a person e%erged )e #as a

handso%e %an #ith dark hair and blood-red eyes )is $agged face sho#ed off his

character, and it #as quite the contrast, co%pared to +iola’s elegant face

“)%% "aiser knitted his eyebro#s and looked at (iluo, and said #ithout holding

back “7ou look nothing like Baolilong, #hose face is so s%ooth that it looks like an egg

2re you sure Baolilong is your offspring?

(iluo’s red eyes looked at "aiser, and a black ball of energy fle# out of his hand and hit

the protecti0e shield (einan’s face #ent pale, and strengthened the shield 1he black

ball e3ploded, and the hole they had been hiding in disappeared in an instant, e0en the

protecti0e shield shook 0iolently

"aiser, #ho #as petrified at first, cal%ed do#n #hen he sa# that the protecti0e shield

#as still holding, pouted and said “Getting angry $ust because #hat I said #as true 7ou

really are a &ragon #ithout %anners

(iluo narro#ed his eyes, raised both hands, and created black balls three ti%es the

si8e of the pre0ious one

(einan #as s#eating profusely as he finished his incantation to increase the layers of

the shield 1he originally transparent shield had so %any layers, it no# looked like a

giant glass sphere

"aiser #as still itching to ridicule (iluo %ore, so he put his face near the protecti0e

shield With the glass-like shield %agnifying his face, "aiser’s face looked like he really

ought to be taught a lesson



(iluo’s 0eins popped out of his forehead, the t#o black balls doubled in si8e again

Without any hesitation, (iluo thre# the% at the shield But $ust as they left his hands,

t#o thro#ing stars suddenly appeared in the black balls’ tra$ectories 1hey collided and

a giant e3plosion ensued 1he e3plosion caused the entire palace to collapse into ruins,

and the dust for%ed a %ushroo% cloud

999

“Wo#, #hat a giant e3plosion 1he shield lost three layers in the e3plosion, (einan

hurry up and put the% back We %ight be facing Baolilong’s dad playing bo#ling again

"aiser playfully looked outside, and looked to see if +iola #as still in one piece after thee3plosion, or if he #as already shattered into pieces

(einan turned and looked at "aiser (einan’s face #as co%pletely pale, and as soon

as he opened his %outh, blood oo8ed out the corners (einan looked at "aiser #ith sad

eyes

:0en for "aiser, he couldn’t turn a blind eye to these ga8es, so he grudgingly said “5-

fine, I’ll say less

“7ou really are cra8y With such a short distance e0en you #ill be s#allo#ed by the

e3plosion

(iluo #as hurt by his o#n %agic, and he got angrier as a result )o#e0er, seeing that

his opponent #asn’t in a %uch better situation than hi%, (iluo started s%iling

+iola quickly e3a%ined his o#n #ounds %ediu% internal in$ury, a t#enty-centi%eter cut

on his left ar%, and his sprained ankle see%ed to ha0e fractured, not to %ention plenty

of bruises and cuts But it felt like it #asn’t too se0ere

;o%pared to his opponent, +iola closely e3a%ined, he see%ed better off (iluo’s hands

#ere se0erely burned, and there #as a thirty-centi%eter red %ark on his chest +iola



#as satisfied, at least his opponent’s situation #as as bad as his < they #ere both

seriously in$ured

“)%%, (einan, look at the% #ith those bloodied #ounds If #e go out #ith a fe#

bullets, shouldn’t #e take care of it? "aiser pushed his face against the shield again,

and sa# the t#o people facing each other, both co0ered in blood

*urity tre%bled “6#aah, the entire palace disappeared What horrifying %agic

(einan said #ith a pale face “2nd #ith such a large e3plosion, it’s %ore horrifying that

there are t#o people standing up like that

“1hat IS horrifying, then I should $ust stay behind the protecti0e shield "aiser carefullyconcluded

(iluo finally ran into a #orthy opponent, so the s%ile on his face got #ider )e re%inded

“'top caring about that little runt’s feelings and su%%on hi% already 6se your &ragon

%agic and let’s ha0e a good fight!

+iola re%ained quiet )e couldn’t e0en feel a bit of %agic ele%ent, let alone using

&ragon %agic )e e0en had trouble using the “'u%%on &ragon that Baolilong and

*urity spent a night trying to teach hi%

“)e #ants +iola to su%%on Baolilong? "aiser’s eyes flashed “It #ould be faster to call

that gee8er Barbalis and ask hi% to bring Baolilong #ith hi%

(iluo’s cold eyes scanned the shield, *urity and (einan i%%ediately used all four of

their hands to co0er "aiser’s %outh "aiser, #ho still #anted to talk, could only %ake

%uffled noises

(iluo turned around to#ards +iola, and asked unbelie0ably “7ou don’t kno# ho# to

su%%on a &ragon? 2re you really a &ragon "night?



“I’% not a &ragon "night +iola ans#ered si%ply and honestly

“=h? 7ou are not a &ragon "night? (iluo s%iled coldly “1hen is the cross around your

“I don’t kno# #ho the &ragon :%peror is 1his necklace #as gi0en to %e by so%eone

Emperor bloodlines?’

(iluo suddenly co0ered his face #ith one of his hand, and burst out laughing “7-you

don’t kno# #ho &ragon :%peror is? &ragon *rince, your deception has gone too far

Who in the #orld #ould not kno# about one of the three biggest kingdo%s &ragon

“I’% an 2ssassin +iola fro#ned slightly, confused as to #hy he #as %istaken as the

(iluo suddenly stopped laughing, and his eyes #ere filled #ith hate )e didn’t belie0e

anything of #hat +iola said, and thought the &ragon :%pire’s &ragon "nights #ere

beco%ing less and less chi0alrous

‘To save his own life, he wold lie as far as this… that rnt coldn’t be given to

(iluo lifted his bleeding ar%s, his eyes narro#ed, and his ar%s began to change skin

turned into scales, %uscles doubled, and fingers beca%e sharp cla#s (iluo said #ith

hatred “&ie!

1he city #as an ob0ious contrast to the capital city of 2klan It #as open and spacious,

1here #ere already plenty of people #ho guessed Blood Wolf’s identity, and their $a#s #ere al%ostreached the ground

“+ittle 'il0er, you ha0e to pro%ise %e, #hen you ha0e ti%e you’ll spar #ith %e Blood Wolf rubbed

his pal% 'eeing the pre0ious fight, he #as itching to fight +iola < so %uch that he al%ost $u%ped in

the %iddle of the fight

“4o +iola denied instantly

Blood Wolf al%ost slipped off his %ount, and he %ur%ured

“What the hell :0en +ancelot #ould gi0e %e so%e crappy e3cuse, so%ething about a rain check

7ou little runt denied %e #ithout hesitation?

=n the #ay back, Blood Wolf kept pestering +iola #ith dissatisfaction, trying to %ake hi% pro%ise for

sparring

)o#e0er, as an 2ssassin, +iola had plenty of patience, and he actually ans#ered “4o, “4o, “4o

the entire #ay back, until they #ere back in 2klan 2cade%y, and inside principal Barbalis’s office

Barbalis #as sitting inside his office, #aiting for the% When he sa# the% #alking in, Barbalis

i%%ediately asked “Blood Wolf, did you do as I asked?

With his %outh dry fro% pestering +iola, Blood Wolf snapped

“7es But old gee8er, aren’t you afraid of #hat #ould happen after +ancelot finds out he suddenly

gained an apprentice #hose face he has ne0er seen Won’t he be incredibly furious?

Barbalis laughed “+ancelot’s rage is nothing )e’s straight as an arro#, not to %ention this #as

appro0ed by the &ragon :%peror hi%self

“What are you t#o doing? +iola’s e3pression started to change Blood Wolf plus 'orcerer Barbalis,

#hose abilities are unkno#n, #ould be hard for +iola to handle

“I’ll tell you the truth Barbalis stopped laughing “2t the sa%e ti%e, I’ll tell you the truth about your&ragon ;ross necklace

“7ou probably didn’t kno# this, but as long as you #ear that cross necklace, the &ragon :%peror #ill

kno# e0erything you’re doing Blood Wolf pulled the chain on +iola’s neck and re0ealed the cross

pendant

Blood Wolf added “:0en #hat you did in the past



+iola’s face sank, and he pushed Blood Wolf’s hand a#ay

4o one likes to be #atched, but +iola kne# he #ould ne0er let go of this necklace :0en if his life

#as broadcasted to the #orld, he #ouldn’t let it go

Barbalis si%ply said “2nise is +anski’s t#in sister, and also a &ragon :%pire’s *rincess

+iola’s face suddenly changed 1hough he had guessed it before, but he ne0er thought about it

seriously 4o# it #as finally confir%ed that 2nise #as fro% this #orld

“1#enty years ago, there #as an accident *rincess 2nise, #ho had $ust been born, #as sent to

another #orld

Blood Wolf continued “1hat accident had also caused (iluo’s #ife, that is, your 'acred White

&ragon’s %other, to die Because of this, (iluo and the &ragon :%peror had turned into each

other’s ne%esis

“When the &ragon cross returned to this #orld, the &ragon :%peror had already felt it Barbalis

sighed

“)e originally #anted to obey to the #ill of his daughter and let you li0e peacefully, so he didn’t co%e

to disturb you But he didn’t think that, not only #ould the 'acred White &ragon recogni8e you as its

%aster, you e0en let (iluo out

“&estiny is like a drunk %an 7ou ne0er kno# #hat it’ll do ne3t In %y opinion, you #ere ne0er %eant

to be an ordinary person Blood Wolf laughed

+iola, ho#e0er, couldn’t laugh )e sank deep into self-bla%e again )ad he not caused 2nise’s

death, she %ay ha0e already returned to the &ragon :%pire, li0ed peacefully and happily as a

*rincess

“7ou no# ha0e t#o choices, +iola Barbalis continued

“&eclare 'il0er (ask is +iola, and +ancelot #ill really accept you as his apprentice 1hen the &ragon

:%peror #ill announce to that #orld, that t#enty years ago, you #ere taken in by +ancelot to be

trained in secret, and *rincess +anski’s t#in brother 1hen, you #ill beco%e a *rince of the &ragon

:%pire

Blood Wolf laughed secretly “=r, you can continue your current life, and see #here destiny takes

you

+iola’s %ind #as in chaos 2fter finding out %any truths, +iola #as clueless on ho# he should

respond 'o he could only re%ain silent

“1hink about it I #ill be here for a #eek If you plan on being a *rince, in a #eek I #ill bring you back

to the &ragon ;ontinent Blood Wolf leisurely laid do#n on the sofa

+iola had no idea ho# he had gotten back to the dor%

2fter he had gotten back, he sa# "aiser turning hi%self in a sushi #rap again, and Baolilong actually

did the sa%e thing and #rapped itself up on +iola’s bed

+iola fro#ned, and decided not to ask "aiser to look after Baolilong too %uch, or else #ho kno#s

#hat other habits Baolilong #ould pick up

When +iola got on the bed, Baolilong i%%ediately un#rapped itself #hile half-asleep and #ent to

+iola’s ar%s

Before +iola closed his eyes, he prayed 2nise #ould appear in his drea%s tonight )e had far too

%any questions to ask her

999

“2nise, #here is your ho%e? +iola asked suspiciously 1he doesn’t see% #orried about her fa%ily

(y ho%e? 2nise blinked her beautiful eyes “(y ho%e is right here

+iola #as confused “)ere? 1his is the headquarters of the organi8ation that abducted you

2nise laughed s#eetly, and pointed at the sky and the grass “(y ho%e is here I s#ore to tra0el the

#orld, and practice healing around the #orld!

*ractice healing around the #orld!

999

+iola opened his eyes again, and sa# a pair of blue eyes, and +iola reali8ed his face #as being

pulled in opposite directions by four fingers

+iola asked coldly “"aiser, #hat are you doing?

"aiser said in all seriousness “Getting the la8y 2ssassin off the bed

2nd then, "aiser added “=riginally I #as going to lea0e you alone, but then I thought, #ithout you,

boss %ight not be #illing to go pay for breakfast, so I had to get you up

“)o# co%e you #ere so sound asleep? "aiser raised his eyebro#s

Before today, he could ne0er get #ithin ten %eters of +iola #ithout being noticed, but no# he #as

e0en able to touch +iola’s face 1his #as %ore unfatho%able to "aiser than #inning the lottery



+iola did not respond, and instead he asked "aiser “What e3actly do I ha0e to do to learn healing

%agic?

“(editation, sensing %agic ele%ent *ractice %agic, continue %editation +earning %agic is fairly

difficult, and there is no shortcut at all

+iola sighed in his heart, and understood he #as too i%patient :0en #hen he #as trying to learn

%artial arts, it took years of practice and training )o# could he e3pect to learn any healing skills like

those of 2nise in a short ti%e?

+iola, "aiser, and Baolilong, #ho clung onto papa’s leg, #alked outside of the dor%

2s soon as they did so, they sa# *urity and (einan already #aiting outside When *urity sa# +iola,

she cheerfully #ent up to hi%, and said #ith curiosity “7ou guys see%ed slo# today

“Because so%eone #as still on the bed, and I couldn’t get hi% up! "aiser replied confidently

2s soon as he replied, he sa# *urity and (einan glancing at hi%, as if there #ere no possibility of

the 2ssassin, #ho #as standing right ne3t to hi%, to be the person #ho couldn’t get up

"aiser i%%ediately protested “)ey! I #asn’t the la8y bu%, it #as that sil0er-eyed guy

*urity’s eyes #idened in co%plete disbelief, and (einan looked at hi% as if his eyes #ere saying

“stop feigning your innocence :0en Baolilong poked its head out fro% behind +iola, and its eyes

#ere filled #ith doubt

Oeins popped out of "aiser’s forehead “I #asn’t the bu%! When there’s breakfast, I #ill ne0er stay

on the bed!

*urity and (einan both suddenly reali8ed “1hat’s right, #hen there’s food to eat, "aiser #ould

struggle and cra#l o0er e0en if he hasn’t had sleep for se0en days 'o did +iola really o0ersleep?

'hould he be happy that his friends belie0ed hi%? =r sad about #hat they said of hi%? 1he corner

of "aiser’s %outh t#itched But in the end, he succu%bed to the s%ell of food )e grabbed the bag

fro% *urity’s hands "aiser asked as he pulled food out of bags

“We aren’t going to the cafeteria today?

“&idn’t you see the class plans announced yesterday? 7esterday the principal said, #e #ill be ha0ing

'he #as suspicious that the principal %ight ha0e ca%e up #ith so%e ne# stunts to pull on the

“1his dor% is beautiful, but so%ething see%s 0ery strange about it (einan sighed



)e #asn’t sure if he could graduate fro% the 'chool of 'orcery )e heard the graduation rate in

“=f course it’s strange "aiser said as he #as s#allo#ing “I noticed the other day, the roo% #e’re

%ake %ore roo%s in that floor?

‘If the principal’s plan onl& involved )aiser and (iola, then it’d be great…’ 1he 'orcery students

congregated in front of the dor% thought

“&ear students, 1he principal had suddenly appeared behind e0eryone #ith a satisfied s%ile on his

2ll the students tre%bled 'eeing the s%ile on Barbalis’ face, e0eryone’s heart sank

1he principal %ust ha0e thought of so%ething absurd for class 2nd unfortunately, this class

probably had so%ething to do #ith their dor% (eaning e0en after class, the dor% they #ould go

“;o%e, co%e, e0eryone take a te3tbook Barbalis cheerfully handed out te:tboo!s, co%pletely

ignoring the dropped $a#s of e0ery student

‘Since when did we have something li!e te:tboo!s?’

Dormitor& ;ser’s 1anal "aiser blinked, reali8ing he didn’t read it #rong

"aiser started #ondering

‘4hat needs to be e:plained abot a dorm? #an it be that the& need to e:plain where &o shold go

“*rincipal, sir 2 student raised his hand hesitantly

“&on’t ask %e :0ery roo% has an assigned nu%ber, use your eyes! I’ll gi0e you half an hour, go

Barbalis yelled “We #ill begin drills in half an hour! 2nyone #ho %akes a %istake #ill be e3pelled!



2ll the 'orcery students hea0ed a long sigh ‘4h& is gradating this difficlt?"’

CHAPTER K – SI4LER /AS' IS SUCH A 8AS



'ince "aiser e3pressed hi%self and yelled at the "ing of &ragons, (iluo, the cro#d #ho

#atched hi% re%e%bered his appearance *eople #ere afraid that the Black &ragon

#ould co%e back for re0enge, so they e3iled "aiser as #ell as his co%panions

Without any other choice, they had to go back to 7aron *lains to li0e out their %onth of

When they stepped back on the flying (a3un, Barbalis counted of all the students

1here #ere e3actly F/, none #ere %issing

Barbalis nodded in satisfaction “7ou are all #orthy to be sopho%ores, and you’0e all

Black lines gre# do#n e0ery student’s face 2ll of the% helplessly returned to the place

999

With a large s%ile, Barbalis took the students to the brand ne# student dor%

1hey couldn’t belie0e the 'chool of 'orcery dor% looked e0en flashier and ne#er thanthe 'chool of (echa 5ighters With bright sil0er %etallic #all, and %odern designs 2ll of

#hich suggested that Barbalis #as up to so%ething

2ll the students gulped, and started backing a#ay 1hey all feared the dor% #ould

suddenly stand up and eat the% ali0e

“)ot da%n, the penny pincher suddenly turned around! With his $a# dropped, "aiser

stared at the ne# dor% that looked nothing like the old ruins )e then i%%ediately ranthrough the door, and as he s#iped his black student I&, he yelled happily “&ear bed,

soft sheets, puffy pillo#s I, "aiser, a% here to sleep on you!

2s "aiser s#iped his I&, the door opened #ith a%a8ing speed

Before "aiser e0en had the chance to screa%, #ith a woosh sound, he #as sucked into

the black roo% behind the door

1he door closed #ith a%a8ing speed, as if the #hole thing happened in the blink of an

eye! It #as then #hen e0eryone reali8ed ho# horrifying the door #as

“"-"aiser got eaten by the dor%! *urity cried, and ran behind +iola, as if she #ere

afraid the ar%s #ould co%e out of the door to grab her

“*apa, #here did "aiser go? Baolilong, #ho #as in its hu%an for%, asked +iola

curiously

+iola’s face sank )e turned only to see Barbalis s%iling, as if he #as pleased #ith his

#ork

1hough he #asn’t sure of Barbalis’ intent, but he #as certain that he #ould ne0er step

into this building #ithout kno#ing %ore about it



Barbalis probably noticed the 2ssassin’s cold eyes 1o a0oid ha0ing a dagger around his

neck, he quickly e3plained

“1his is a special design 1his dor% #ill, according to your student I&, instantly transport

you to your o#n roo%

2s if he #as trying to pro0e #hat Barbalis had said, "aiser ti%e pushed open the

#indo#, and yelled through the #indo#

“+iola, before you go to your roo% go buy %e so%e food I #ant to eat #hen I #ake up

Without responding to "aiser, +iola fro#ned slightly, #alked up to the door, and s#iped

his o#n I& 1he door s#ung open again, and a strong suction grabbed +iola into thehall

+iola #asn’t too fond of flying through the air #ithout being able to control it, although

Baolilong, #ho #as on +iola’s back, s%iled brightly, and e0en cheered #ith its hands in

the air

In a %atter of seconds, +iola floated to an e%pty roo% 1he only thing inside the roo%

#as a 0ery large sphere in the center, and it #as flashing #ith 0arious ray of colorfullight

1he sphere suddenly shone a ray of light to#ards +iola, and +iola al%ost ducked on

refle3, but the light stopped in front of +iola, and a se%i-transparent screen appeared

1here #ere %any buttons, and e0ery had different destination #ritten on the%, such

as +or room,%all , = person people’s room, etc

+iola hesitated, but Baolilong didn’t

'eeing the bright screen, Baolilong laughed innocently, and #ith its little hands,

Baolilong started %ashing e0ery button on the screen



+iola took off again, and #ith bla8ing speed, he fle# to so%e sort of hall 1here #ere all

sorts of strange things placed in it, and they confused +iola )ad "aiser been here,

perhaps he #ould ha0e been able to identify the% all

1he (a3uns looked identical like ga%ing or

+iola #as $ust about to #alk for#ard to take a closer look at these 1a:ns

With a cute look, Baolilong pounded on the screen again +iola then instantly fle# to a

place that, no %atter ho# ad0anced it #as, it al#ays had the sa%e functions < thebathroo%

When +iola #as considering #hether he should go to the bathroo%, Baolilong decided

to put all its #eight for#ard and ra%%ed its head against the screen

1he holographic screen ob0iously couldn’t support Baolilong’s #eight, so it #ent through

the screen, and landed on its face 1he pain %ade Baolilong cry

“)o# did you fall +iola #as $ust about to pick Baolilong back up, but because Baolilong

used its face to press so%e button, +iola fle# a#ay fro% Baolilong

Baolilong #anted to run back to papa’s ar%s, but as soon as it got off the ground, it only

sa# +iola flying a#ay fro% hi%

“*apa! Baolilong suddenly stood up, its baby face filled #ith fear It stretched out its

s%all &ragon #ings, and flapped the% as hard as it could to try to catch up to papa

5inally, +iola stopped, but Baolilong couldn’t stop in ti%e, so it fle# through the

transparent screen Before it reached +iola’s ar%s, +iola started yet another flying

$ourney



'o%e people say, hu%ans #ere species incapable of learning But ob0iously, sa%e

could be said about &ragons =r perhaps Baolilong #as special It continuously tried to

catch up to papa, run into the screen, only to ha0e papa fly off again

+iola couldn’t do anything but #atch the tears running do#n Baolilong’s face as it ga0e

chase It #asn’t until the ne3t %orning that +iola had finally arri0ed at his own room By

this ti%e, he had been to $ust about e0ery#here 5inally, there #as so%ething +iola

understood better than "aiser, the 'chool of 'orcery dor%

“)%%? +iola, #hy did it take you so long to get food? "aiser got up fro% his bed, still

half asleep )e looked at the situation in the roo%

Baolilong #as kneeling on the table #ith face filled #ith tears and regret In front of it

#as +iola #ho #ore a naturally cold e3pression

“What happened? "aiser asked curiously, and then turned pale “Baolilong didn’t eat all

of our food, did it?

“4o +iola looked at "aiser “It’s ti%e for class

"aiser touched his sto%ach, and thought, did he really sleep for such a long ti%e? 4o#onder he #as so hungry

1hinking of food, "aiser finally felt so%e %oti0ation 2t the sa%e ti%e, he reali8ed that

+iola #as still #earing the sa%e clothes as last night

"aiser asked “7ou’re such hobo Why didn’t you take a sho#er before you sleep, or is

not taking a sho#er popular a%ong 2ssassins?

+iola %ur%ured “I ha0en’t slept

"aiser looked at +iola #ith unbelie0ing eyes

“7ou didn’t sleep for the #hole night? What did you do? &id you ha0e a tryst #ith the

1hough he said that, "aiser kne# +iola too #ell +iola #as %ore likely to play #ith

+iola e0en kne# #hat tryst #as

+iola #asn’t too interested in "aiser’s nonsense )e quietly #alked to the bathroo%,

there can ne0er be any s%ell on an 2ssassin

When +iola stepped out of the roo%, he looked at that se%i-transparent screen again

)e sighed in relief, seeing that Baolilong, #ho had been up all of last night, #as so tired

that it #as sound asleep, other#ise he #asn’t sure if he could e0en step out of the

“)ey, you didn’t sleep last night, are you going to ha0e a proble%? &on’t fall asleep half

considerably taller than hi%

“4ot sleeping for one night isn’t going to affect %e +iola plainly stated the truth When

"aiser grunted “)o# can you not sleep? )u%ans should sleep e0eryday, and #hen

you #ake up you should eat, and then after that you should sleep again

"aiser la8ily held his sto%ach )e #asn’t eating or sleeping, and that #as 0iolating his

‘Is he tal!ing abot pigs or hmans?’ +iola started #ondering

“+iola-dage, "aiser, I’% here *urity cheerfully stepped out of the dor%, and greetedboth of the%

"aiser said idly “Boss you’re finally here, so please hand out breakfast



“"aiser sure lo0es to eat *urity shook her head helplessly Good thing the allo#ance

Before stepping into the cafeteria, "aiser %ur%ured “I #onder if @etter is going to cause

“&on’t #orry, he’s too busy to cause us trouble, but (einan looked at +iola fro% the

1hen all the (echa 5ighters started chanting the sa%e thing

2t this ti%e, "aiser and the others turned to looked at +iola, #ho re%ained

e3pressionless

1hey thought ‘This g& was >>0> li!el& to be still a virgin? It was more probable that(ans!i wold defile (iola"’

1he "night students %aintained their cold appearance and stared back at the (echa

5ighter students



5inally, a Blue "night stood up, and said in a cold 0oice “1he internal %atters of the

'chool of "nights does not concern the 'chool of (echa 5ighters 2s for 'il0er (ask

breaking the code of chi0alry, #e #ill deal #ith hi% oursel0es

It #as probably better if so%ething like this #asn’t said, because as soon as it #as

%entioned, the (echa 5ighters beca%e e0en %ore enraged (ost of the% had already

pulled out their cannons and lightsabers

1he "nights #ouldn’t back do#n either, #ho took out their s#ords and shields 5or a

%o%ent, the tension #as e3tre%ely high, and #ith the sound of a cannon fro% the

(echa 5ighters, a huge battle raged on

“+iola, please! "aiser i%%ediately turned around and cried to +iola “*lease grab %e

so%e food in the %iddle of this battle I don’t ask for %uch, ten sand#iches #ould be

enough

+iola turned around to lea0e, co%pletely ignoring "aiser "aiser #as stunned, and then

touched his nose and cried “*urity, breakfast

“+-+et’s go outside to eat *urity looked at the kni0es and chairs flying across the

cafeteria, she #as so scared that her body #as co%pletely stiff, let alone going in to

grab food

“Great! "aiser cheered, and hurriedly grabbed *urity and (einan to catch up #ith +iola,

#ho #as already outside

999

2s they #alked, +iola and the others suddenly reali8ed a %ilitary for%ation #as in frontof the%, consisting of %ore than ten ed "nights, and there #as a Blue "night in the

%iddle of the% 1he person in the %iddle, #earing blue "night unifor% adorned #ith red

stripes, #as radiantly beautiful, and incredibly elegant 1his #as the fa%ous &ragon

:%pire *rincess, +anski



‘She isn’t Anise…’ +iola quietly #alked around these "nights, not #anting to look at

+anski’s near-identical face to 2nise’s When they passed each other, a "night suddenly

stopped the% “'chool of 'orcery students

+iola and others stopped, and turned around to look at these "nights =ther than +iola’s

e3pressionless face, the other three appeared to ha0e innocent e3pression on their

faces

"aiser, #ho #as the best at acting, asked in a tre%bling 0oice “'ir ed "night, is there

so%ething I can help you #ith?

“Is there anyone #ith gold eyes and black hair in the 'chool of 'orcery? 1he ed

"night asked as he looked at +iola’s black hair #ith suspecting eyes But #hen he sa#

+iola’s unique sil0er eyes, he fro#ned

2nother ed "night asked i%patiently “Why bother asking the%? 'il0er (ask #ore

"night’s unifor%

“Wearing "night’s unifor% doesn’t necessarily %ean he’s a "night 1here is no 'il0er

"night, definitely no gold-eyed black-haired "night, and %ost definitely no "night that

#ould hurt *rincess +anski! 1he first ed "night yelled back

+anski, #ho had already #alked afar, suddenly stopped and turned around to look at

the% #ith her beautiful and cold eyes )er 0oice #as as cold and proud as her eyes

“I’0e already said, %y fight #ith 'il0er (ask #as honorable, and no one should fight hi%

in re0enge

1he ed "night hastily clarified “I $ust #ant an honorable duel #ith 'il0er (ask too,*rincess +anski, please don’t %isunderstand

+anski’s face see%ed a bit cal%er and nodded



'he glanced at +iola and others, and #hen she sa# +iola, her eyes hesitated a bit But

#hen she sa# +iola’s sil0er eyes, she see%ed a bit disappointed, and looked a#ay fro%

+iola and the others

)er ears see%ed to be perking up, as if she #ere afraid that these 'orcery students

actually kne# about 'il0er (ask

1he ed "night asked again i%patiently “Is there any gold-eyed black-haired student in

'chool of 'orcery?

“4o, sir "night "aiser ans#ered honestly 1here #as genuinely no gold-eyed black-

haired student enrolled in the 'chool of 'orcery, e0en though it does ha0e 'il0er (ask

1he other ed "night interrupted again “'chool of 'orcery can’t possibly ha0e a strong

student, and definitely not so%eone #ho can beat the Blue "night, *rincess +anski 2s

he finished, he s%iled in satisfaction 'ince he con0eniently bragged about the *rincess

getting to Blue rank in the process, thinking that the *rincess #ould be fond of hi% for

doing so

+iola #as still e3pressionless, but "aiser and the others #eren’t so happy In fact, they

#ere the ones #ho sur0i0ed in the rank-2 7aron *lains, not to %ention the dangers they

had run into had far surpassed rank-2 1he "ing of &ragons, (iluo, #as so%eone #ho

%ade e0en the legendary *aladin +ancelot call for backup

+iola’s incredible strength didn’t need further %entioning *urity’s space %agic #asn’t

so%ething to be laughed at, either, e0en (iluo #as defeated by it

(einan’s protecti0e shield also blocked (iluo’s attacks 5inally, "aiser’s #hite bo%bs

#ere also po#erful If hits, e0en the toughest &ragon scale #ould rupture

2ltogether, the four of the% actually possessed incredible strength, $ust that the t#o of

the% #ere still unstable #ith their %agic, so friendly fire #as a real danger a%ong the%



'o hearing the ed "night looking do#n on the%, "aiser and the others felt quite

unhappy But they ob0iously #eren’t going to pick a fight #ith the 'chool of "nights ed

"nights

*urity #as afraid, "aiser didn’t #ant trouble, and (einan #as actually a friend of

another Blue "night there

“(einan 2 true Blue "night suddenly called out (einan’s na%e )er flo#ery bright

J1A4 +anski had $ust recei0ed her Blue "night ranked, and therefore not counted as a

(einan, too, s%iled “+ong ti%e no see, @as%ine

“I heard that you guys #ent to 7aron *lains for a %onth of #ilderness sur0i0al?

@as%ine suddenly asked 'he #as satisfied #hen she sa# the ed "nights in co%plete

disbelief

@as%ine #ould ne0er let her friends’ reputations be tarnished, especially since she #as

“'ure did! (einan s%iled )e kne# all too #ell #hy @as%ine asked, because he had

'eeing the ed "nights’ faces change, the t#o looked at each other in satisfaction It

#asn’t until then, #hen @as%ine actually e3citedly asked her real question

“I heard that the *aladin appeared in 5reesia, and e0en fought #ith a Black &ragon

“2bout that We sa# it fro% afar, but it #as too far to see clearly (einan hesitated,

and decided not to tell @as%ine the truth



2fter all, @as%ine #as close to +anski, so she could end up telling +anski the secret If

so%e day +anski co%es looking for +iola, then perhaps that day #ould be the day

(einan dies

@as%ine looked disappointed “'uch a sha%e It #ould be great if I could see the

*aladin and the &ark "night

'eeing her disappointed face, (einan al%ost told her e0erything about running into

Blood Wolf and +ancelot 5ortunately, "aiser opened his %outh in ti%e

“'igh, I’% really hungry, and #e ha0e to go to class soon +et’s go eat breakfast

@as%ine also suddenly #oke up fro% her fantasy, turned around and hurried +anski“+an, #e should hurry If #e don’t stop the% soon, #ho kno#s #hat the cafeteria %ight

+anski nodded, and %arched a#ay to#ards the cafeteria It #asn’t until then #hen +iola

looked directly in +anski’s direction, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart

of that sil0er %asked "night, %i3ed e%otions #ould appear in her eyes

=n one hand, 'il0er (ask #as the person #ho stole her 'acred White &ragon =n the

5ortunately, 2nise #as dead, +anski couldn’t help but think about her



“+anski? +anski? @as%ine called for her se0eral ti%es #ithout getting a response 'he

sa# her preoccupied #ith so%ething, then blushed lightly, and then see%ed frustrated

@as%ine kne#, +anski #as definitely thinking about 'il0er (ask again @as%ine couldn’t

“I heard that, #hen the *aladin #as fighting #ith the Black &ragon, people at 5reesia

unifor% riding the 'acred White &ragon, and then pulled herself together and said

“Is it possible, for 'il0er (ask to be related to the *aladin?

“*robably )is #hite unifor% signifies that he probably is on the side of light *erhaps

he’s the apprentice of the *aladin? @as%ine guessed, and she felt she #as right on the

“=r perhaps 'il0er (ask #as 0isiting the principal on behalf of the *aladin? 1hat could
