Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!

Chapter 107 : A Lucky Day (4)

Aman and Lucas, who had left the county estate, began to quicken their pace due to a strange sense of unease.

"I'll go this way, so you go that way."

"Lord. I'll use the tracking magic, so please wait a moment."

Aman stopped Lucas, who had stepped forward and cast a spell, as if he were in a hurry.

"Ah, right. Then please find them quickly. Something feels ominous."

"Ugh... please wait a moment."

Aman, who had spread his tracking magic wide from where he stood, concentrated his mind.

"I don't think they're around here. Ha... how are we going to find them like this? Do you have any idea where they might be?"

"...A guess? Huh? Wait a minute."

Lucas, who seemed to have remembered something, quickly teleported and disappeared.

"Where did you go..."

"Let's go."

Nella was standing next to Lucas, who had reappeared in front of him in an instant.

"Nella. I'll explain later. First, tell me where they are."

"Wait..."

What had flashed through Lucas's mind was the spirit that Nella could command.

Since spirits existed everywhere, he thought he could find them faster than using tracking magic like hitting his head on the ground.

"Oh, Miss Nella. Then please do me a favor."

Nella nodded her head slightly at Aman's gentle voice.

"Naias. Can you tell me where my sister and brother are?"

-We know.

-We know.

-But... they're all dead.

-That's right. A monster came.

Nella shook her head once, as if she were dizzy from the words that Naias was pouring out.

"What do you mean?"

-They're dead.

-They're all burnt black.

-Is that okay?

"...Burnt black?"

"...What do you mean?"

Nella raised a hand and stopped Lucas's urging.

"Where?"

-They're on the road.

-That's right. On the way to the village.

-We know.

"Where is that?"

Nella was also frustrated. The information that Naias poured out was always like this.

Nella was always at a loss for the uncombined information that was poured out one by one.

-I'll guide you.

"What did the Naias say?"

"...They're all burnt black. They said they're all dead... but."

"That's absurd."

The sound of Lucas's teeth grinding was clearly audible.

"Yes. It can't be. Right, professor?"

"Of course. It can't be."

As Nella asked with a trembling voice, Aman also shook his head.

"Where is that?"

"Naias. So where is that?"

"No. I'll be guided. It would be better for Miss Nella to stay here. Can you call Undine for me?"

Nella, who had nodded her head slightly at Aman's words, summoned Undine, and a transparent Undine in the shape of a wolf appeared before them.

"Thank you. Miss Nella. Please maintain your magic power for a moment."

Aman, who had finished speaking, seemed to be saying something to Undine, but his voice could not be heard.

'Is it the dragon language?'

Lucas knew what it was. Dragons, who had a high affinity for nature, could communicate freely with lower-level spirits without a separate contract.

But since Aman was blocking the elements that would reduce the fun of the excursion to some extent, he had been refraining from all such actions.

"Oppa. Why is Undine so dejected?"

"Hmm... I don't know..."

But looking at Undine's condition now... it seemed that Aman had a contract with a higher-level spirit than that.

'That bastard. If he's not going to do it, he shouldn't have done it at all! If he has a contract, he should have said so!'

Lucas's stomach began to burn as he looked at him.

If he didn't want Nella to find out Aman's identity, he would have to keep Undine's mouth shut.

"That's strange..."

In the old days, it was a trend to summon and make a contract with a spirit king from the hatchling stage, but at some point, most of them did not make a contract, saying that they did not want to be bound by a stubborn spirit king.

'Is it Elahim?'

Lucas had also made a contract with a spirit king in his past life, so he could roughly guess who Aman had made a contract with just by looking at Undine's behavior.

"Oppa. Why can't I hear Professor Aman's words?"

"Hmm... it seems he used a silence magic."

"...Ah."

Nella nodded her head slightly at Lucas's words.

"Let's go. Lucas-gun."

Aman, who had returned after he had finished his conversation with Undine, held out one arm to Lucas.

"Nella. I'll be back, so please wait."

"...Be careful."

-Flash!

As he grabbed Aman's arm, the place changed in an instant.

"...What is this!"

Aman and Lucas were on the verge of losing their minds at the situation that unfolded before their eyes.

The whole land was vibrating with a burnt smell, and the corpses of wyverns were scattered everywhere.

"You son of a b-tch!!!"

A curse came out of Aman's mouth.

"What in the world..."

Lucas's body began to tremble with anger.

"Khuk... ugh..."

Aman and Lucas moved their feet at the sound of sobbing coming from behind the completely destroyed carriage.

"Khuk... ugh..."

There, they saw the two men who were sitting next to the fallen Pola and Skir, looking dazed.

"...What's going on?"

Aman and Lucas's magic began to boil.

"...Pola? Skir?"

Lucas's eyes, who was slowly approaching them, began to shine brightly.

"Gaaah! No! Not you too... no... please... go..."

Alek, who saw Lucas's appearance, began to wave his hands frantically as if he had seen a ghost.

-Bang!

The magic that had burst from Lucas's hand exploded, grazing Alek's ear.

"Huk!"

Alek, who was surprised, reached out his arms and quickly wrapped them around Pola and Skir.

"Shut up. You crazy bastard. If the kids are hurt... you'll be crying and begging for your life."

Aman, who had approached Pola and Skir first, placed his hand on their necks and let out a small sigh of relief.

"The kids are safe."

"Haa..."

That was enough. If Pola and Skir were safe, that was enough.

Lucas also let out a small breath that had been boiling with anger.

"Find out everything about what happened here."

"Yes. Lord."

Aman also swallowed his breath at Lucas's growling voice.

"How in the world did these bastards get here..."

It was only when wyverns were moving their habitat that they moved in groups.

But this was the second time, including the time in the desert.

And there were no young ones this time either.

"...Yes. Lord."

"I'll take the kids, so you take care of the rest. I'm counting on you."

"Yes. Lord."

Anger was also deeply settled on Aman's face.

In a way, Aman's feelings were probably more intense than Lucas's right now, not less.

"Who in the world... touched my territory."

This was Aman's territory. This place, which connected Citata and the capital, was definitely Aman's territory.

But someone had touched his territory again.

As Lucas teleported and disappeared with the children, Aman's suppressed anger began to explode.

"You sons of b-tches... who in the world!!!"

-Boom!

The two pitiful humans who were trembling in front of him were nothing.

If he had his way, he wanted to blow off those humans' heads right away.

"Gaaah! Aaaah!"

Alek and Sament, who were facing the enormous magic and magic power that were exploding near them, were lying flat on the ground and trembling.

"How annoying."

Then Aman realized that one of the men in front of him was someone he knew.

"Sament."

"Gaaah..."

A sense of relief began to appear on Sament's face as he slightly raised his head at Aman's voice calling his name.

"A-Aman... Professor Aman?"

Since he had learned from Aman when he was in the beginner class, Sament also recognized him immediately.

"S-save me... please... please..."

Sament, who was covered in blood, was begging for his life with his hands and other parts of his body covered in soot.

"Ha, humans value their lives the most..."

Aman was disgusted at the sight of him.

Looking around, his comrades, except for Sament and Alek, were lying on the floor like charcoal.

"Humans... that's right..."

-Saaak

As Aman raised a hand and cast a sleep magic, the two of them collapsed to the floor.

"Right... what sin have you committed."

It was quiet. The surroundings were a mess and death was rampant, but the damn forest was so quiet.

"I'll find you. What kind of fearless bastards you are."

***

Lucas, who had returned with the children, was furious.

He wanted to wake them up by slapping their cheeks and ask them what they were lacking that they had left the county estate and had gone through this hardship.

"Damn it..."

A small curse came out of Lucas's mouth.

"Oppa...?"

Nella, who had heard the presence and had entered Lucas's room, opened her eyes wide.

"Sister...? Sister!?"

Nella, who had rushed over to Pola without even closing the door, shook her and woke her up.

"Skir oppa! Oppa!!!"

Nella, who was also shaking Skir, who was lying next to her, like crazy.

But they were just lying there with their eyes closed comfortably, without any movement.

"Sister, sister! Oppa!"

As Nella's voice echoed through the room, Lucas felt a slight annoyance.

He was upset at the sight of Nella worrying about these thoughtless things.

"Nella. Don't worry. They're just asleep."

"Hmph... really? Really?"

"Right. Why would I lie."

It wasn't a lie. Skir and Pola had just used up all their magic power and were lying there comfortably, asleep.

"They just used up all their mana."

"I-I'll share mine."

A white light began to burst from Nella's hands.

"Don't!"

But Lucas stepped forward and blocked her hand.

"Why! Sister and brother can't be sick!!!"

Nella, who was shouting at Lucas.

Lucas was also surprised at Nella's first fierce reaction and flinched for a moment.

"Don't. They'll wake up on their own after a while. So don't."

"No. I will."

Nella, who pushed Lucas's body away and approached them again.

"Don't. Nella. Listen to me."

"No."

But Lucas also couldn't let her have her way.

Sharing one's mana was not a very good act.

"Nella. This is only for extreme situations. The kids will be fine. Please listen to me."

Lucas didn't want Nella to have a hard time because of the children.

This was not an extreme situation, and this kind of thing should not be repeated.

"No... I don't want sister and brother to be sick..."

"They're not sick."

Nella's shoulders drooped, and her head was bowed.

"But you still can't."

Tears welled up in Nella's eyes.

"You can't."

He didn't know when a situation like this would come again.

The children were not used to using their mana, and Nella couldn't share her mana every time.

Pola and Skir also needed to learn a bitter lesson from this opportunity.

"You can't."

At Lucas's repeated firm words, Nella also shed tears like chicken droppings, but she did not show any signs of sharing her mana again.

"Nella. Look at me."

"Sob... sob..."

The large eyes, which were full of tears, turned to Lucas.

"Sharing your mana is a dangerous thing. And you have to hold on until the end so that you can protect everyone when a dangerous moment comes."

"Sob..."

As Lucas held Nella's shoulder and spoke firmly, Nella finally nodded her head slightly.

"You're far ahead of the kids in terms of power right now. So you have to hold on until the end."

"..."

Lucas's words were right. If he didn't make Nella realize this now, he didn't know when or in what situation she would be able to handle it properly.

"So. Listen to me. The kids will be fine."

"..."

Lucas, who had gently stroked the head of Nella who was nodding her head, turned his gaze to Pola and Skir.

"I'll be back for a moment. Take good care of the kids. And you must not share your mana."

Lucas, who had once again urged Nella, cast a teleportation spell.

'Aman. Please have endured it well.'
