A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 891 The Dragon-Slaying Knight

Xiaofei flapped its wings and soared into the sky. It quickly caught up with the steak that Fanfeng Junzi had thrown out, caught it in its mouth, and by the time it returned to the vicinity of the ground, it had already chewed and swallowed the whole steak.

"Hmm..." Misaki Shokuhou looked at the dragon with a happy face, urging Junko Hohatsu to have another piece, "You need to move around after you've eaten, Junko-neechan. Let's ride the little dragon together and fly in the sky for a while later."

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

Misaki Shokuhou came to visit Hibiki at this time because she originally planned to "fly on a dragon".

Based on her personal experience, it is an excellent way to change one's mood and release stress.

Of course, Misaki Shokuhou already had a habit of regularly visiting Hibiki in the 21st school district.

It wasn't just to take care of this companion...or rather, "pet," but also to help Xiaofei "hide" his own existence.

It's important to understand that "flying dragons" are not creatures that should exist in the natural world. Even in a place like Academy City, the sight of a flying dragon would inevitably cause a stir and attract a lot of unnecessary attention, which wouldn't be a good thing for Xiao Fei.

The most appropriate course of action at present is to leave the existence of the dragon as an "urban legend".

Although Misaki Shokuhou has settled Tobi in the relatively remote and well-preserved 21st school district, it will inevitably attract the attention of the general public.

After all, "Xiao Fei" can fly, and such a large creature often soars through the air, so it's inevitable that it will be spotted.

In order to keep the number of sightings to the level of "urban legend", Misaki Shokuhou would visit Xiaofei regularly like this and ride her into the sky to fly around a couple of times.

During this process, "psychological manipulation" is used to provide broad-area psychological suggestion, causing residents in the vicinity to ignore the illogical existence of the "flying dragon".

Then, the only people who would witness the flying dragon were the citizens who occasionally came to the 21st School District for tourism and vacation—perfect material for urban legends.

A few minutes later, the well-fed Xiaofei carried the two girls into the sky.

Having had flying experience more than once, Misaki Shokuhou was no stranger to this kind of experience.

Furthermore, since she could completely trust Xiaofei and Fanfeng Junzi, she had no worries at this moment and could fully enjoy the feeling of soaring in the air.

"...As expected, doing things that are impossible under normal circumstances is the best way to relax!" Misaki Shokuhou shouted, patting Xiaofei's neck. "Don't worry, I will definitely make the world accept you!"

Changing people's perceptions is all it takes—isn't that what "psychological manipulation" excels at?

Xiao Fei let out a joyful neigh and made a big loop in the air.

"Your Majesty!" Taking advantage of the brief moment when she was upside down, Junko Hokaze keenly sensed the situation on the ground. "Someone is approaching this way."

It was a blond man in a suit, but because he was a bit far away, his face was not clearly visible.

But without a doubt, the other party had also noticed the flying dragon in the sky—he looked up and his gaze collided with Junko Hokaze's in mid-air.

"Oh no, this is trouble..." The moment their eyes met, Junko Hokkaido instinctively realized this, and then shouted, "Fei, run!" "Even the legendary evil dragon has appeared? Academy City is truly... an incredible place." The Knight Commander looked up at the sky.

“What a coincidence, the source of our knightly order’s power is Saint George.” The knight commander stepped aside, standing firmly on the ground, while reaching out towards the flying dragon in the air.

The most famous legend of St. George is the "dragon-slaying legend". Therefore, the most important image of the magic spells derived from St. George is "dragon-slaying".

The Knight Commander was, of course, well-versed in the magic of the St. George system. He had thought that the "dragon-slaying intention" was just a symbolic meaning, used to refer to a "powerful enemy," but he never expected that a "dragon" would actually appear right before his eyes.

The Knight Commander was simply driven by greed; he had noticed the unusual creature in the sky while playing hide-and-seek with Tsuchimikado Motoharu and had followed it ever since.

—This is the first time I've actually encountered a "dragon" since mastering the dragon-slaying technique. Even if it's just to verify that the skill I've mastered is indeed effective, I still have to give it a try!
At this moment, the flying dragon in the sky seemed to notice the man who had trespassed into its territory, and began to descend while circling in the air...

"Aren't you going to pounce right away? You're a very cautious creature."

The Knight Commander remained unmoved. Although he was in a lower position and was much smaller in size, he gave the impression of looking down on and scrutinizing the dragon.

“Then I’ll make the first move,” the Knights Commander laughed. “Let’s see if this ancient knockdown technique… is effective!”

Smash Spell – Inspired by the legend of "Saint George Slaying the Dragon," this powerful magic strikes down a soaring dragon from the sky!

As knights, they do not need to chant or use magical artifacts when casting spells—all the magic required for battle is integrated into the knight's body; they themselves are a magical artifact forged through countless trials.

Any official knight can freely unleash a variety of powerful attack spells with their weapon!

As one of the best among them, the Knight Commander didn't even need a weapon. Bare-handed, he used his right hand instead of a sword to throw a punch at the flying dragon in the sky.

An invisible attack ripped through the sky, instantly creating a large hole in the membrane of the dragon's left wing!
The dragon's painful wail, accompanied by the girl's scream, came from the sky.

"Someone?" The knight commander was surprised, because the dragon's huge body and wings obscured the view from the ground, making it impossible to see that there was someone riding on the dragon's back.

Thinking about it carefully, the sharp gaze he had just seen was indeed cast down from the dragon's back.

However, due to his excitement at "discovering a dragon," the knight commander did not think much of it and mistook it for the dragon's gaze.

Despite his surprise, the Knight Commander quickly regained his composure—the existence of a creature as impossible as a dragon must be due to the creation of a mad scientist; this fits the stereotypes people have about Academy City.

Therefore, it is normal for this dragon to have an owner.

"Fortunately, it was a shot-down spell, not a dragon-slaying spell; it only pierced the wing." The knight commander ran towards the direction where the dragon had fallen.

—Let's rescue the girl on the dragon's back first.
