Chapter Forty-Four: The Black Dragon at Home

  It's been a week since I returned to the academy. After the fierce and intense battle of life and death, the peaceful and elegant warm campus life made Eriol almost unable to adapt.

  After the ruthless and merciless BOSS at the bottom of the dungeon was easily defeated by Misha's main account, the coalition forces of the underground world residents quickly annihilated the remaining demonic forces. Thus, this demon invasion was resolved before it even officially began, thanks to the efforts of a group of shameless trial students who managed to dissolve it in every possible way.

  Elisha still vividly remembers the commander of the Tanzanian Empire's border troops rushing to the scene after hearing about the invasion, only to find himself sweeping the battlefield and establishing diplomatic relations with the indigenous people, his face twisted in pain. At that time, this little loli immediately rolled on the ground, making Baturu, who was leading the way, and two dwarves extremely embarrassed.

  Fortunately, there was a teacher named Chris from the Hope Garden next door. With her assistance, they finally figured out the general situation - although her personality also made the commander's head ache.

  The Tanzanian border defense army, which had enough soy sauce for the entire population of a large city to use for a year, finally returned home with a mix of emotions, celebrating the failure of the invasion and speechless about the futile trip.

  And the reactions of other countries are even more interesting - first, they received the shocking news of the demon tribe's invasion and hastily integrated their troops. As a result, not to mention food and grass, but even military equipment was not yet ready. Then came another report that the invasion had been repelled. The leaders of these countries were so embarrassed, it was as if they had written "Isn't this a scam?" on their faces.

  As for the mysterious organization called the Cursed Sect, composed of humans, it was silently chosen by these big shots to be left unspoken. Even Eliysha and others were informed not to spread rumors.

  After all the relief work was over, Eliya and her party bid farewell to Moller and returned to Hope Garden.

  Apart from this one in front of me.

  A lovely little loli wearing a black Gothic dress, with long straight hair and holding a lollipop, concentrated on playing the game, moved her chess piece: "Checkmate!"

  The other loli sitting across from her, wearing a sky blue Gothic dress and having golden long hair, raised the nearby chess piece without hesitation: "Eat it."

  "Ah!? No, no, I didn't see anything!"

  "You shouldn't have forgotten that you don't regret losing a game of chess, right?"

  "Uggghhh..."

  Do you think of the scene where a young black dragon and an unscrupulous goddess sit together to play international chess, which can make a bunch of weird uncles fall in love?

  Kuroyuri came this morning. However, Eri was still in class at the time, so Kuroyuri had no choice but to wait outside the classroom - only to be discovered by Kurisu passing by and tossed into the Soy Sauce Club's activity room.

  Dare to take Black Dragon for a walk and throw it away casually, probably only Kris can do that.

  Then in the afternoon after school, Eriol found a starving black dragon that looked like a black cat and was about to bite people everywhere in the club room. After feeding this loli dragon, Eriol asked Shin'ya about the reason for his visit. The answer was:

  The little loli got bored with her several games and also finished eating the popsicles.

  "I'm not responsible for raising you!" The little loli suddenly shouted.

  Then, with tears in her eyes, she looked pitifully at Eriolita with a hint of grievance.

  They say that Lolita's selling Meng is ineffective, but... what if the soul of the party being sold Meng is essentially a weird uncle?

  Then there was the scene of the two playing chess just now.

  "Who is this little sister, Alicia?" Sophia asked, sizing up Tsukuyomi. At first glance, the two of them looked like sisters, and if the mercury lamp on the windowsill were standing next to them, people might even believe they were triplets - but upon closer inspection, the three of them didn't have a single similarity except for wearing Gothic Lolita dresses.

  "Oh, it's just a native we met on our last adventure in the underground world. Her name is Kuroya, and she's an out-and-out black dragon."

  With a clatter, Sophia's fan fell to the ground; also falling to the ground were Yuege's book, Cecilia's cake, and Xiaxi's own little butt (the magic projector was too expensive, she couldn't bear to throw it away).

  "Sorry, maybe I misheard... You, you just said Black Dragon?"

  "Ah, Black Dragon. Not Deathwing, nor some great river, just a pure and natural black dragon."

  Black Dragon, that is the embodiment of brutality, a bloodthirsty demon, a symbol of greed, and an arrogant strongman. When will the Black Dragon also transform into a human form, carefree and joyful, licking a lollipop and playing chess with humans? Looking at the unbelievable scene in front of her, Sophia felt that this world was about to go crazy.

  If I let you know how Kriss treated this loli dragon in the morning, wouldn't you be shocked?

  Sophia was indeed shocked, but not because of Kris, but when the Michelle next to her walked over and touched the top of Xue Ye's head with a smile and greeted her, the black dragon's eyes revealed... a look of reverence!

  In fact, apart from Alisha, Rihwa, Chris and Ilya who took any absurdity and super-expansion as a daily routine, Grana was extremely revered by the inhabitants of the underground world. Not to mention the records of the literature that destroyed the demon army thousands of years ago, at that time, everyone who was still struggling saw her transform into a loli and wave her hand lightly, saying only one sentence:

  "You are not contained in this world, so die."

  The demons who were still resisting then collapsed and suddenly lost their lives without being injured.

  Under everyone's astonished and fearful gaze, Eriol had once thought: Could this girl possibly have another name called Ukrewood? —— It was later proven that it was just a delusion of the little loli.

  But others didn't have the guts like Little Lori, facing the legendary demigod, they all showed enough respect and humility. This has nothing to do with his 1.4-meter stature and cute appearance, but out of respect for the strong. So when Michelle stroked the top of Husky's head, this little loli dragon naturally wouldn't open her mouth to bite - another person she wouldn't bite was her "owner" Eriol.

  Regarding the fact that Michelle is the reincarnation of Hettishiel, after discussion - okay, I admit it was actually Little Lori who analyzed it and then threatened all the people in the know - everyone chose to keep it a secret. Now is not the era of human great unification thousands of years ago, if a country gets help from Hettishiel, it will definitely trigger a huge turmoil. In the face of national interests, everything else is insignificant. Therefore, some countries may take action against people around Michelle - such as Ilya, such as Li Huayin... At that time, dog-blooded plots will be staged frequently.

  Alicia, who was extremely opposed to this, naturally did not intend to let it happen.

  "Yueliang sister, how did you get in? The academy usually prohibits unrelated personnel from entering?" Muxue asked curiously.

  "Huh? Prohibited from outsiders entering and exiting?" Mozuya thought for a moment, suddenly enlightened, "Then wouldn't it be okay to not use the entrance and fly in directly from outside? That's what I did, no wonder nobody stopped me."

  "That's trespassing." Eriol tapped her forehead with her index finger, "By the way, how did you know this room was our activity department?"

  "That's what the woman named Chris told me."

  "Coach Kuri, what you found in the academy wasn't some lost cat or dog, but a wild black dragon! Is it really okay to just dump it in the student club room without any care or concern?!"

  Eirlys rubbed her forehead: "Chenyi, what are you planning to do on this trip? Are you going to play for two days and leave or find a mountain peak near Reiz City to dig a hole and live there while playing the evil dragon fighting brave game?"

  "I don't want to go sleep in a cave!" Loli Long pouted, "Elisha, I have something to discuss with you."

  "You said."

  "You give me 50 lollipops every day, and I'll be your contract creature."

  "Too many! 5 sticks every day."

  "Murder! 40 roots!"

  "Ten a day! Don't haggle anymore, or people will suspect you of cheating on the quantity."

  "Oh? Is that so? Well, in that case, just 10 will be 10 then."

  Along with the clearly audible petrified sound in the room, this transaction negotiation that was even more intense than the fierce confrontation between the stingy aunt and the miserly vegetable vendor at the vegetable market came to an end. At this moment, all summoners in history collectively looked up at the sky with a dumbfounded expression.

  Sophia and the others looked at the two lolis with complex expressions as they left the chessboard, stood up together, and prepared to cast a contract spell... Wait, a contract spell? The腹黑girl suddenly covered her mouth with a fan, desperately holding back her laughter.

  Two lolitas stared at each other.

  Airi: “……”

  "What's wrong? Hurry up and finish, we can switch to another game and continue playing."

  Eriol (tearfully): "I... I just remembered that I still can't use contract magic."

  "...... Can I take back my previous proposal?"

  That little loli is so troubled, it's almost heartbreaking.

  At the end of the Demon's Gate quest, Eriol obtained the following rewards: a random task map (it all became random tasks...), building an alliance with the underground dwellers and annihilating the main force of low-level demons, each worth 1500 reward points.

  About 3,000 reward points for the killed monsters and demons (not counting the nearly 10,000 monsters that were burned to death by the flames and the spirits that were blasted to death by Feng Wu, which made Little Lori very depressed).

  Bathory and the two dwarves successfully contacted the Tanz Empire, so Little Loli obtained the scabbard Avalon, which has the effect of invalidating a fatal attack against the holder once a day, or healing someone else's mortal wound three times.

  Ilya and Li Hua used the magic crystal bomb exchanged to destroy the transmission gate, so she got 4th-level Dou Qi, 10,000 reward points, and the summoning right of Four-winged War Angel Meng Yu.

  The final evaluation of the task is S rank, with a reward of 8000 points.

  Overall, Eriol's gains were extremely rich: not counting the Holy Grail, fighting spirit and summoned creatures, just the reward points alone totaled around 25,500 - unfortunately, Losa was killed by Hiltier, so they didn't get to obtain the Griffin's pet egg. These reward points were ultimately spent lavishly by the shameless little loli, exchanging them for 4th-level wind magic (10,000), single-target spell Thunder God Sword (3,000), group spell Crazy Thunder Sky Drop (5,000), defensive spell Great Atmosphere Shield (3,000) and a unicorn (4,500).

  Unicorns are combat creatures, exchanged automatically with a contract. The problem is that Tia isn't an exchange creature now, she's a genuine pure-blooded black dragon born and raised in this land, to sign a contract with her you at least need to know how to use contract magic——Eriol doesn't, and she also doesn't have any reward points left to exchange for a contract magic skill card...

  Wiping away tears, Sophia took a few deep breaths to prevent herself from bursting out laughing: "Alright, alright. Elisha, have you forgotten that tomorrow Susan teacher will be having an outdoor practical lesson on beginner contract magic? With your talent, you should get it in one try tomorrow, right? Let's talk about it then."

  "I don't think a primary contract can sign away a black dragon... whatever, let's just try."

  Li Hua walked over and put his arms around the two lolis: "Don't worry, I believe you will definitely succeed."

  The little loli said without hesitation: "I also believe that you are hugging us on purpose. Tsukinami, bite her!"

  Loli Long opened her mouth and bit towards the hand on her shoulder.

  "Stop biting! It's going to kill you, Tsubaki! Don't listen to Little Eri's nonsense!"

  With a crack, amidst the crunching sound of suspected fractures and Li Hua's wails, the daily routine of the soy sauce gang began once again...

  I am a divider line

  Susan is one of the few summoners among the teachers at Hope's Garden, responsible for contract magic courses in grades 1 and 2 and elective summoning courses after grade 3, which is still relatively easy compared to other teachers.

  The art of summoning is vastly different from other forms of magic, being extremely powerful in the early stages, mediocre in the middle stages, and weak in the later stages. To succeed in summoning, one must possess an extremely high level of talent to spiritually communicate with powerful beings from another dimension and sign a summoning contract, or spend a large amount of money to purchase captured powerful magical beasts and force them into a contract. Ordinary people find it difficult to achieve these two points, so the profession of summoner gradually became unpopular.

  Susan was happy to be idle until she took over this year's Magic Class A.

  Alicia Harris, the Dean personally assigned a special income student to the freshman class. This little girl who just turned 12 years old has magical talent that left all her teachers speechless and stunned, whether it's Elemental Magic Fundamentals, Alchemy Introduction, Magical Instrument Introduction or Susan's Primary Contract Magic, none of the four courses opened in the first year is not something she excels at.

  I heard that this little girl was already a 2nd-level mage during the previous trial - my god, is she even letting others live!? You know, the average standard of new students can only cast elementary magic at most!

  But that wasn't what Susan was concerned about, she had inadvertently discovered that Eriol had a spiritual connection and conversation with some unknown powerful being, and it seemed to be very familiar. Susan immediately realized that this was an extremely rare case of human beings being recognized by some powerful beings since birth, and the little girl's summoning talent naturally did not need to be doubted.

  If she knew that existence was actually a M with a sister complex and a Lolita complex, I wonder what Susan would think...

  It's almost time for class. Susan tidied up her hair and clothes, which had been disheveled while preparing the rabbits for the experiment earlier, and waited quietly for the students to arrive.

  At the sound of the bell, the first-year A class of the Magic Department appeared on time at the special practice venue.

  Susan had the students gather around her in a circle, then began to lecture: "Classmates, you all know how important contract magic is for mages. No matter whether you'll be going out on adventures or staying holed up in your mage towers, having a few contract creatures that understand you is indispensable. Most importantly, if one day one of you happens to encounter a powerful magical beast that can be contracted while out on an adventure, but because you didn't listen carefully to the lesson and can't contract it, don't come crying to me saying I didn't explain clearly - Joyce, I'm talking about you, stop staring at Eriol in the front row.

  Cough, so maybe someone will raise an objection, such as using a familiar instead of a contract creature. Indeed, familiars are the gift of the creation god, and anyone who has mastered basic summoning techniques can summon one. It is more powerful and practical than ordinary magical beasts, and is the favorite of mid-level 3-4 mages. However, each person can only have one familiar, and the summoning is random, so no one can predict what their familiar will be. When a familiar dies, it cannot be summoned again. So, rather than putting hope in a familiar, it's better to find a few practical magical beasts to sign a contract with.

  "In the previous lessons, everyone should have already grasped the basic theory of contract magic. So today, I'll teach you all the formal incantations and casting techniques. Later on, you can practice with those little cuties in the cages."

  After a while.

  Susan came over to the little loli she intended to focus on cultivating: "Erichiya, how do you feel? Have you communicated with these little things?"

  "Oh, yes teacher. These little rabbits are all very talkative, I have signed and then released them several times already."

  Looking at the rabbits in the cage who were signed with a contract by the unscrupulous little loli and abandoned after being played to the point of exhaustion, Susan just felt her eyes twitching. Immediately she took this as a child's prank and laughed it off: "Your talent is better than I imagined, maybe you will become the second great summoner."

  "...... This great summoner sounds very familiar. Teacher, may I ask who the first great summoner was?"

  "During the Great Retreat from the Land of Despair, Lady Yuna's Summoning Art was brought to prominence as she successfully covered the Allied Forces' escape."

  I knew it...

  Alicia took a deep breath and muttered to herself: "Looks like I can give it a try."

  Susan asked somewhat strangely: "Try what?"

  "I know of a demon beast, I'd like to try and see if it's possible to make a contract with it."

  "Huh? You can summon it with a spiritual link here!?" Susan was suddenly shocked.

  Susan's day was destined to continue in thrills, for not long after, the alarm bell that had never sounded before, except when under attack, suddenly rang out in Reiz City! Then, amidst Susan and her entire class - except for a few who were in the know - staring with shocked, terrified eyes, a huge black dragon flew over from the horizon. After ignoring the city defense team's sparse and ineffective attacks that couldn't even bring down a mosquito, this enormous creature landed right before everyone's eyes on the empty ground.

  The little loli clenched her small fist and quickly stepped forward, punching the black dragon's head with a loud thud amidst everyone's petrified expressions: "Are you an idiot!? I told you to come over normally, now that you've caused such a big commotion, how are we going to wrap this up?!"

  "How about a dragon's breath?"

  Knock again.

  "Waaah, you're bullying me!" The black dragon transformed into a cute black-haired loli and said, "I demand that the daily supply of lollipops be increased to 20 sticks!"

  "Impossible! And what about the supply of lollipops? Didn't we agree not to mention it again? You're not here to cheat on word count, are you?"

  I'm more wronged than Dou E!!

  In the midst of the shattered glasses and blinded canine eyes, the two lolis exchanged vows, embracing each other as they kissed the blood off each other's lips, completing the sacred yuri ritual.

  I admit the last sentence was intentionally written incorrectly...
