Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

'What are you trying to cover?' he thought to himself, before saying:

"I promise that I won't talk to you if I end up being in a grade less than you."

The face of her brightened, as she gave a sigh of relief, before she realized her acting was blown off, so her face regained its grim serious look before saying:

"Thanks, I appreciate that, I will take my leave now."

She hurriedly left the tent, while Arthur and Iman looked to her back, before exchanging glances together, and laughed on her.

She was very obvious about hiding something, and her actions here made it doomed for the two of them to try and dig this secret out when they reach the academy.

"Now, let us talk about the elixir for you," Arthur suddenly said, "I think you hate fire, right?" he asked.

"Well, if there is a choice, I won't select it," she honestly replied, "it's the complete opposite of my nature, I like darkness and coldness better," she added.

"Like I thought," he muttered, as he already guessed it. he took out one of his ice potions, and gave it to her while saying:

"Let's start experimenting with this one, it's an ice natured potion, and it would greatly help you, but I doubt it would be enough."

She glanced at the bottle in hand, as she already heard about this magical potion. "Is it fine for me to waste one for just testing?" she asked.

"Don't worry," he smiled warmly to her, "I just want you to analyze the potion and its effects on you," he added.

"I thought I would lose consciousness when ingesting it," she said, with some doubts.

"No, not in your case," he said, as he was sure she would have a great reaction, just like what Amelia and Silver Falcon had. "Start now, but let's find somewhere else for you to test it," he said as he moved towards the exit.

She didn't understand why they had to leave here, but she followed him anyway to another, smaller, empty tent.

"Here , you can try it out now," he said, as he moved the bed to the outside, while summoning his Don, again, asking him to take care of this tent.

He stood in front of her until she took the potion with a weird look over her face. The moment she took it, she felt the gush of energy inside her body, and suddenly all her body started to emit vapor, and ice icicles started to form all over her body, tearing her clothes, and making her naked!

She now understood why Arthur brought her here, and at this moment she glanced at Arthur who just watched her for a moment, marveling her beauty, before moving out without any warning.

"Focus on analyzing the potion," he said, as he was satisfied by the optimum reaction of this potion.

She just giggled when she imagined the look on his face again before she started to train, closing her eyes and circulating her energy in her body. she wasn't inexperienced like them, as she had already many experiences, and she knew how to deal with the energy inside her body.

Arthur knew this potion wouldn't be enough to make her completely healed, but at least it would buy him some time until he could come up with something that might be effective and helpful to her condition.

For now, he had other matters in his mind, starting with training the mages to be alchemists, and be blacksmiths. He knew this would require talents, and he should take more time in assessing their talents, but he didn't have that time.

If he waited until he returned here again, after one year at least, then great time would be lost. These two crafts were essential for any force to grow, and without them he was sure his plans would be delayed for one more year at least.

So, he just hoped he could find some talents here. if not, he would try and start pouching these talents from the academy, a move he knew it would be dangerous, as the academy wouldn't tolerate such behavior without doubt.

The other thing that kept his mind busy was the problem of monsters. He had already exhausted his monster reserves, and he didn't know the exact condition at the academy, but he was pretty sure monsters weren't just a simple thing to be found there.

Having monsters inside his ring was a habit he had got used to. He wanted to leave a ring here, full of monsters and the pet contract ready around them, for any mage to use without his presence here.

He had already helped a lot of villagers to be mages, but he was sure once the fame of his clan started to spread, many would come here, and that it would be impractical to just wait for his return.

So, he decided to go for a monster hunt again, provided he had time to do so. He just glanced at the whole busy mages here, and thought of taking them into a training session, a true expedition on the style of his old cultivation world, doing it big.

"I should then move tomorrow when everyone is ready to move," he muttered as he noticed how busy those mages were, trying to be organized under the new system provided by the great four masters of his clan.

Arthur just nodded to the four, while he met the seductive looks of Lendy with a wink of his eye. If he had time, he would tame this wild tigress, but he had little time, for now.

He went back towards the tent, and the moment he entered, he found Amelia was there, waiting for him, alone.

"Are you looking for me?" he asked, as he noticed she was glancing around, waiting for someone.

"Yes," she was startled by his sudden appearance, before she added, "I have a request that might seem strange," she said, before pausing, waiting for him to say something.

Arthur helplessly sighed, as it seemed everyone decided to ask for personal favors today. "Go ahead, what do you want me to do for you?" he said, while sitting on his chair in the tent.

"I- I- I just want you not to flirt with Lendy in the public again like this," she said it, and her face instantly turned all red, and the moment it changed, Arthur thought she would run away from here, but she didn't.

"May I ask why?" he calmly asked, with some curiosity, was it a female envy, or something else?

"Public pictures are important, and flirting like this might give the wrong impression about how soft and distracted you are. I know you this isn't true, but don't forget there are many new mages joining us, and soon you will move and leave the clan, so it's better to maintain the public image in front of them," she said, while her face was getting redder and redder with each passing moment.

When she just finished, she darted to the outside, finally, without turning back to look at him, despite she wanted to.
