Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!

Chapter 180 : Who Are You? (3)

Vadim talked about his world for a long time.

"Khahaha! Wyvern fries were a delicacy among delicacies in the human world. When you put it in hot oil, it gives off a very savory smell."

Vadim swallowed hard.

'They... eat wyverns?'

The wyvern he had eaten when he was a dragon had a strong bitter taste whether it was grilled or fried, so he couldn't eat it. Most bird meat was edible, but only wyverns were not.

"Ah, there must be wyvern dishes here too, right?"

"The wyverns here have a bitter taste, so we can't eat them."

"What?! A bitter taste?! That can't be."

Hasel and Lucas nodded their heads at the same time.

"Yes. But here, we mostly enjoy eating pigs or cows. Chickens or ducks are also among the things humans enjoy."

"Pigs? You eat pigs! How can you eat such a dirty thing? Was this a place where barbarians lived!"

Vadim shouted in surprise at the mention of eating pigs.

"It seems that this place and that world are definitely different. Even if there are similar things, their properties are very different."

"This is..."

A deep shadow was cast on Vadim's face.

'But how did he come all the way here from another world?'

It was time to get to the point.

"What are your plans for the future? I think it's right to move to the celestial world first."

Lucas threw out.

"Oh! The celestial world is not an option. The moment I fall into the hands of those evil bastards, I will be reduced to ashes, no, I will fall into heaven!"

It seemed that heaven was used in that sense over there.

"There is no such thing as heaven here. There is only reincarnation or eternal annihilation. Of course, there is a new afterlife created by humans who worship the gods, but since no one has experienced it directly, it's safe to say it doesn't exist."

Vadim's face crumpled once more at Lucas's answer.

"Then... is there a hell? In our world, everyone is desperate to go there."

"...That's only used as a curse. Since the words 'go to hell' are very insulting."

Vadim, who was surprised again at Hasel's answer.

'At this rate, he'll die again just from being surprised.'

Lucas thought as he looked at Vadim.

"Then I'll have to live again in this world. It seems like it will be very enjoyable."

"Pardon?"

He meant, can you live just because you want to live? You're already dead and have no soul, just a shell, so what do you mean, live again?

"Are there any unhatched hatchling eggs? Should I say unfertilized eggs? Something like that."

At that, Hasel's eyes widened.

'Does that mean it's possible if there is one?'

Dragon eggs were precious, but sometimes there were some that failed to hatch.

It wasn't that they were unfertilized eggs as Vadim said, but it was something that often happened when the period of constantly infusing mana right after birth was a little late, or when the compatibility was not right.

Therefore, the unhatched eggs were not immediately destroyed, but were gathered in one place and stored.

"There are, but..."

"Oh. It seems this side is the same. Then may I borrow one of those eggs? This land is also full of mana, so I think I can do that much even in a soul state."

Hasel looked at Lucas.

'Should I let him do this?'

Even now, in a soul state, Vadim's skills were amazing. If he gained a physical body, his power would be beyond imagination.

'Even if three or four dragons attack, there might be no chance of winning.'

And since it was the first time he had seen the attribute of Topaz, he was even more scared.

"Ah, there's something I forgot to ask. How long did you live before you became a human?"

"Five thousand years."

"Tsk, tsk... you died young. Did someone frame you or something? If so, I'll avenge you when I regain my strength."

Lucas and Hasel's mouths dropped open at the same time.

"I... lived the longest. To the extent that I will be recorded in the history books."

"What?! Five thousand years?! What on earth did you all do to have such a short lifespan!"

"..."

Then how many years did that dragon live?

"Then Vadim-nim..."

"I didn't live that long either, but I lived for thirteen thousand years before I was sealed."

"Thir...teen thousand years?"

Vadim nodded his head.

"Tsk, tsk. I don't know what sin you committed against the gods, but please beg for forgiveness and regain your lifespan. Five thousand years is still in your prime..."

Vadim clicked his tongue as if in pity.

"Then how old are you? Are you saying you're not even five thousand years old?"

Vadim's gaze turned to Hasel.

"I... am not yet three thousand years old."

Vadim, who had heard Hasel's age, clicked his tongue again.

"Tsk, tsk... a fledgling is leading the clan."

Lucas's expression became serious.

"Then how long do dragons live in Vadim-nim's world?"

"Us? We usually live for thirty thousand years without any problem. The oldest dragon lived for sixty thousand years."

Only then did everything make sense. A single race, no, even an empire created by humans, develops as its history deepens, but what if a dragon, a much more advanced creature, lives for tens of thousands of years without any problem?

He would have amazing skills. Not only amazing skills, but the way he used magic and the types of magic he could implement would also be different.

So Vadim was not flustered even now, with only a soul, and was looking for a hatchling egg.

'Can I trust him?'

They say there is a sky above the sky. Lucas now felt like he was facing another sky.

"Then Vadim-nim. I have one thing I want to ask."

"What is it."

Vadim's eyes were still filled with pity.

"Is a dragon's promise also absolute in your world?"

"Hah! Absolutely. A dragon's promise is no different from betting a dragon heart, so breaking a promise means death."

Then he was a little relieved.

"Then I'll ask one more thing. Do you by any chance have any intention of returning to the place where you were?"

"Hmph! Of course I want to go and beat the Gold clan who made me like this to a pulp!"

"...but?"

"I don't know how to go back! It's a mystery how I ended up in such a remote place. And hearing you talk, it seems that the gods of this place and the gods of the place where I lived are also different, so how can I go back?"

Lucas nodded his head.

'If there's no way.'

Lucas was fine with him going back, but he was worried that he might side with the demons and harm the dragons.

'Since we might run into each other someday.'

And since the place where he had lived before had the perception that demons were as good as elves, it was even more so.

"Then can you make me a promise?"

Lucas looked at Vadim with a serious gaze.

"Hmm. I'll decide after hearing it. In fact, it's no big deal for me to find a hatchling egg with my own power even now. But since I think of you as dragons and my clan, I'm being polite."

Hasel and Lucas nodded their heads.

"Yes. We are currently preparing for a war."

"Hoh! A war."

Vadim's eyes shone.

"Our Topaz clan does not fear war. We always fought on the battlefield with the blessing of the god of love, Amore."

"...The god of love, not the god of war?"

"Khahaha! The god of war is a coward. That's why he's called the god of war and peace, isn't it!"

Although the names of the gods were all the same, everything was really the opposite.

"But Amore is different. Isn't the love that blooms in the most barren land true love? What love could be more desperate than the love that blooms in a situation stained with blood and on the verge of death?"

One thing that was the same was that the Amore of that world was also a little crazy.

"Then the story will be easier. We also plan to fight with the blessing of Amore."

This was something Amore had promised.

"Khahaha! Then I will definitely stand on the side where Amore stands."

"But the opponent is the demon god. The demon god Taras."

"R-right?"

Vadim's pupils shook for a moment.

"That's why we need your promise, Vadim-nim. And we also want to receive all of Vadim-nim's teachings."

"Ahem."

Vadim seemed to be pondering for a moment.

"Let's do that. The god of love is a little better than the demon god in a war."

"Then will you make a blood oath?"

Hasel, who had been listening to all the words, popped out and said.

"I don't have any blood."

Vadim tilted his head.

"And what kind of outdated magic are you bringing out? Even humans don't use that magic much these days."

"Ah."

Hasel, who had then looked at Vadim's whitish body, nodded his head as if he understood.

'An idiot.'

He felt as if the dragons had suddenly become a low-intelligence race.

'This is...'

He was even embarrassed.

"I have a soul, so let's make a soul oath. The one who breaks it will have their soul destroyed."

It was a truly tremendous contract. The effect would be certain.

"And no matter how much you've been reincarnated, you're a human, so the odds are not in your favor. So I will make a contract with you, Hasel."

Hasel nodded his head.

"Okay."

"Then what will the terms of the contract be?"

Vadim slowly drew a magic circle in the air.

'Fortunately, the characters used are similar.'

The characters used in the drawn magic circle had some different parts, but they were not difficult to read, so the risk of being scammed in the contract was slightly reduced.

"Please fight on our side. On the side of the dragons, no, on the side of me and the Lord."

"Hoh. I will do so. The details?"

"The demons and the demon god are the enemy."

"Hmm. I will do so."

Lucas was also racking his brain. Because if he didn't make the terms of the contract more detailed in a contract like this, there might be some other talk later.

"It is also not allowed to reveal all the things that happened between us to the enemy."

"I will do so."

Vadim engraved all the contents he had heard on the magic circle as they were.

"Please tell us your requirements, Vadim-nim."

"Help me to wake up from the hatchling egg. Of course, it won't even take three days."

"...?"

It took at least a few years for a hatchling's egg to hatch.

But three days?

"Hoo. This place is really outdated. I feel like I've been thrown into a place without civilization."

Vadim, as if it were too troublesome to explain, waved his hand and wrote down the terms of the contract.

"And help me to live again in this place. Well, everything is outdated, but there are many different points from my world, so I also have to learn, don't I?"

Since it was an easy matter, he nodded his head without hesitation.

"Well, that's enough. I don't think I'll have much to ask of you. I trust you'll find a place to build a lair on your own."

"Of course."

The magic circle was all completed.

Vadim's eyes turned to Hasel. It was an expression that seemed to be demanding some kind of answer.

"Ah, I am Hasel Teridier."

At that, Hasel told him his true name.

"Right. Hasel Teridier. Will you make a soul contract with me, Vadim Artis, based on all the contents of this contract?"

"Yes."

The magic circle began to emit a bright light.

"This contract is a contract that is bound to the soul, and if it is broken, the contractor's soul will be eternally destroyed. Do you agree?"

"I agree."

At that, the magic circle vibrated slightly, and the light split into two, one heading towards Hasel's heart and the other towards Vadim's heart.

"The contract is all completed."

"I look forward to working with you."

As Hasel greeted him, Vadim also smiled faintly and nodded his head.

"Ah, and."

Hasel and Lucas's eyes turned to Vadim at the same time.

'He's like a blessing that has rolled in. I should grant him any request...'

It was when Lucas was thinking.

"If there is a female dragon with a good personality here..."

Vadim said, fidgeting with his fingers.

'How on earth is there no one normal.'

Lucas let out a deep sigh.
