Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her

The cave was pretty comfortable as Aurora had used the forest materials to craft a bed and other things. Basic survival classes were mandatory for everyone, not to mention that she had lived a pretty rough life in her trial.

This was nothing for her.

After using a Mana Lamp for illumination, Veer cooked a delicious range of meals for the two ladies. Aurora had already hunted quite a few Magical Creatures so there wasn't any shortage of food here.

The trio didn't talk much and savored the delicious meal presented to them. Rain was already getting addicted to Veer's cooking, and Aurora was eating his cooking after a long time.

So, they forgot about everything and thoroughly enjoyed the food they had become addicted to.

After finishing every last piece of seasoned meat, Aurora lay flat on the floor while rubbing her belly. A satisfied smile hung on her lips as she said, "Man! I missed this!"

She turned towards Rain and said, "It's the best, right?"

Rain buried her face in the bowl and hummed. After what happened, she didn't know how to face Aurora, as she was really confused about her relationship with Veer. Did she perhaps try to kill her Boss's friend?

Not minding her, Aurora said, as she sat up, "Hmm, now that we have filled ourselves, let's talk about important things since we don't have much time left."

"I doubt," Veer said. "The time inside the Labyrinth is weird."

"Yeah," Aurora nodded. "That reminds me, you didn't ask about their whereabouts?"

"You think I should have?" Veer flashed a knowing smile at her.

She clicked her tongue and looked away, "I hate that cheeky smile. Also, I have gathered information around the many Islands, but no signs of either of them. They are probably still stuck in their trials."

Veer nodded, though the only reason he was so calm was because he could see their status and knew they were safe. After that one incident where Elara was heavily injured, her status had been very good.

'They probably did pass the trial but teleported to some random place,' Veer thought, as he turned towards the main Island. 'Maybe even there.'

Now, that was concerning as he was sure the Corrupted Dragon, or as Liliana called them, the Fallen Dragon, was most likely there.

'I need to hurry up.'

Veer stood up and said, "Let's go. We'll talk while walking."

The two women nodded and followed him outside. Aurora led the way as the others followed her to the top of the hill. From there, they could have a clear view of the Floating Island.
Your adventure continues at empire

Rain walked beside Veer and suddenly said, "Boss, the people around you are all weird."

"Hmm? How?"

"That woman...her eyes were clear," Rain muttered. "They were similar to yours, without any disgust and pity."

Veer smiled and said, "I told you. There are always exceptions in the world, and you'll definitely meet people who will cherish you for what you are. It's just that you need to identify them, but I guess you're an expert in it."

Rain nodded, as she raised her head and looked at Aurora who was hopping on some rocks to get higher. She asked, "Boss, is she a good person?"

"What do you think?"

"I'm confused," she answered honestly. "On one hand, her honesty and eyes tell me she can be a good person, but she also wanted to kill you. Why would a good person kill someone like you?"

In her opinion, Veer was a good person, the exception in her life, so anyone who was against him was a bad person by default.

"You should form your opinion," Veer said. "People are complex, and one person who is good to me can be bad to you. So, never judge others from someone else's opinion. As for your question, I deserve her hate ...and it really isn't hate at all."

"I'm confused."

"You will," Veer chuckled softly. "Just give it some time. Observe her and then form your own opinion. You don't need to like everyone. As for what happened earlier, it was just an outburst of resentment she had piled over the years."

"So, she isn't a bad person to you?"

"Nope, not at all. Though, I can't say the same for El and her. They despise each other because of how different they are," Veer smiled. "However, I know they will support each other in emergencies. That's just how relationship works. You have to see what you want to do and convey that to the other side."

"What the hell are you teaching her?"

Aurora shouted when she saw them lagging behind. She crossed her arms over her ample bosom and said, "Don't try to corrupt her, you wretched fellow."

"You will never understand the profoundness of my lessons," Veer said. Then he turned towards Rain and smiled, "Good luck."

Rain nodded, her mind replaying his words. Still, she had decided on something, 'She is his friend, so she isn't a bad person.'

Reaching the top was just a few steps away, so they easily climbed up. From there, they witnessed another beautiful scenery.

As far as eyes could see, only a vast blanket of greenery was in sight. Rolling hills blocked some of the view, but even they were filled with dense forest running up to their tips.

"This feels too normal," Veer frowned and said.

"The Bloodthorn Labyrinth is the perfect place for the saying 'danger beneath beauty,'" Aurora said, and pointed at a distant hill.

"You see that? There is a tomb of sorts, but that whole area is packed with powerful Magical Creatures. I wanted to check it out but almost died."

Veer hummed, looking around him. He asked, "Anywhere else we can go?"

"Yup, we can wait for other islands to pass by ours and jump on them," Aurora said with a nod. "However, it's useless since every Island is like this, so why not start with exploring this one?"

They needed to find a way to get to the central Floating Island but had zero clues. So, her suggestion was correct as it was better than just wasting time.

Veer cracked his neck and said with a wide grin, "Then, let's do this."
