Chapter 1275: Abnormality, the hated new guy
Ansullivan's classes aren't long.
Foundation building is just as important in this world as any other. However, practical classes also weigh heavily in a student's grade.
Dragon breeders aren't working on rocket science. They are training to become powerful dragonars in the future. Some of them are even aiming for Arch Dragonar titles.
The teachers ended the class soon after the bell rang.
"Okay, we are having dragon-riding combat drills next. Gather at the training ground in 30 minutes."
This is basically a class about how to fight while riding dragons.
The dragons are smart. They can create Arc Armors after all so they are probably far smarter than humans in wisdom and intelligence.
But, some of them have personalities for days. It is not easy to get mighty creatures like to completely do the master's biddings. Teamwork is also crucial when it comes to maximizing a dragon's combat potential.
When two similarly strong dragons are pitted against one another, the skills of the dragon rider matter when it comes to deciding the victor.
Thus, the school placed emphasis on gaining mastery in fights that needed cooperation with their pals.
The students tidied up their books and paired up in groups of two or three students. They went to the fitting rooms to change into dragon-riding equipment.
Wu Yan is interested in how dragon riders fought in this world. He picked up his books and wanted to grab a random passerby when a familiar voice called out to him.
"Rowan!"
Raymond dragged a brown-haired youth along him. He introduced the guy to Wu Yan.
"This is my friend. We studied in the same foundation classes and we lived in the same dorm room."
"H-Hi…"
The youth greeted Wu Yan awkwardly.
"I am Ash, Ash Blake…"
"Nice to meet you."
Wu Yan also greeted the young man. He couldn't help but notice the young man's left arm.
The guy's left arm is bandaged in thick wraps.
Wu Yan is detecting something off.
His blood is reacting to whatever is underneath the guy's bandages.
To make the blood of a True Ancestor react…
This is the first time his bloodline reacted to something other than the Fourth Primogenitor from Strike the Blood and the transmogrification Dark Light from Silvaria.
However, the intensity of this reaction paled in comparison to meeting another primogenitor or the insidious dark lights.
Ash raised his eyebrows when Wu Yan scrutinized his arm.
Does the newcomer also know about my Seikoku?
Ash tried to hide his left arm with his right hand.
Wu Yan tagged the reaction as odd but he nonetheless beamed at Ash.
"Hi, I am Rowan Randall…"
"Yes, I know…"
Ash didn't use a friendly tone with him.
"I already know since you introduced yourself before…"
The room's temperature turned cold.
"Ahaha…"
Raymond tried to change the subject by jumping between them.
"Right, why were you introducing yourself?"
"They said the roster was already decided when I suddenly popped out of the blue. Hence, they said I needed to introduce myself."
"I see…"
Raymond is still curious.
"Right, how did you get in without studying the foundations? I don't think the school would make backdoor arrangements for just anyone. Everything has to go through the Board of Directors."
Ash also had the same question in his mind judging by his inquisitive gaze.
"Hmm.. How do I say this?"
Wu Yan scratched his cheek.
"Rowan!"
When Wu Yan wanted to train his acting skills, a sweet voice called out to him. It was a familiar voice too.
Everyone looked at the source of the sound only to see a redhead entering the classroom from the front door. Her presence snuffed out the sounds in the classroom.
"Rebecca!"
Wu Yan called out to her.
"Rowan…"
Rebecca waved back.
"Come out, I need to talk with you."
The students looked at Wu Yan with envy and various other emotions.
"Guh…"
Wu Yan stood up and he parted ways with Raymond and Ash.
"Sorry, I need to go."
Wu Yan ran over to Rebecca before leading her out of the classroom with her hands grabbed.
"He grabbed Rebecca's hand."
The students couldn't believe it. Like broken dolls, they watched as he ran out of their field of sight. Raymond also collapsed as his paradigm got turned on its head.
"I hate newcomers…"
"Rebecca, are you doing this on purpose?"
Wu Yan unhanded Rebecca. He crossed his arms and made his annoyance visible.
"You know your fame and you still called out to me in my classroom. You want the dragon breeders there to squash me?"
Rebecca is still a bit shocked that Wu Yan grabbed her hand. She didn't hear what Wu Yan said just now. In response, he raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, Rebecca, are you listening to me?"
"Ah…"
Rebecca yelped as if she was taken by surprise.
She blushed slightly before coughing out loud.
"Wh-what was that?"
If the students of Ansullivan Dragonar Academy saw this fidgety Rebecca, they would probably be astonished that the confident and elegant Rebecca had this shy side to her.
Granted, Wu Yan who wasn't familiar with Rebecca's antic assumed this was normal He helplessly sighed.
"Anyway, why did you seek me out? You have something important to say?"
"Yes."
Rebecca sported a serious look.
"I came here because of two matters."
