Immediately, the girl who landed on the ground slightly parted her cherry lips and exhaled extremely hot white breath from her mouth.

That was a sign that the temperature inside and on the surface of her body was rising rapidly, directly evaporating the moisture in the surrounding air.

At the same time, the corners of the girl's mouth also curled up slightly.

Because her original goal was not the dragon's head, but to cut off its wings and force it to stay on the ground.

This means the opponent will have no choice but to fight her on the ground!

On the stage, looking at Stella who had suddenly regained her strength and was even stronger than before, Nishikyo Ningyin opened the folding fan in her hand, covered her face, and said, "Judging from this... she has begun to awaken."

Just then, Bai Zhe spoke again, drawing the attention of the three of them.

"Stella, you don't mind if I increase the difficulty a little more, do you?"

Although it seemed like he was questioning the girl, Bai Zhe's hands moved quickly, and a wisp of dark dragon flame flickered at his fingertips, causing Nishikyo Ningyin and Hoshiguji Kurono's expressions to change drastically.

"Wait, wait a minute!!!"

Before the girl could stop it, the wisp of black flame drifted onto the fire dragon and ignited it in an instant, completely dyeing its body with the color of the flames, turning it into a gray fire dragon of the same age!

The fire dragon, having changed color, also greatly increased in power, and its wings, which Stella had cut off, grew back in an instant.

Immediately, driven by Bai Zhe's will, the fire dragon roared across the sky, gathering hundreds and thousands of flames from under its wings, which then transformed into fireballs and fell towards the scarlet-haired girl below.

Seeing this, Stella could only dodge the fire while using her spirit weapon to cut the fireballs.

In just a few seconds, the newly repaired competition venue was damaged again, with cracks appearing on the ground and countless burn marks.

Under the overwhelming number of fireballs from the fire dragon above, the girl's movements were significantly restricted, forcing her to complain to Bai Zhe.

"Wait a minute, this is too much! I can't fly!!"

However, the girl's words only earned her a scolding from Bai Zhe.

"You idiot, you're a dragon, how could you not know how to fly?"

The girl, upon receiving the reminder, felt as if she had been enlightened.

Yes, dragons can fly, whether in myths or fantasy works.

But how can I truly be in the sky?

Do dragons need wings to fly?

The answer is magic!

The girl, having gained some insight, instantly had her entire body ablaze with the Empress Dress she was wearing.

Immediately, the girl shot into the sky like a rocket, even surpassing the height of the fire dragon and flying directly towards the clouds.

Seeing this, Nishikyo Ningyin placed her hand on her forehead, making a gazing motion.

"Oh, this child, he can fly really high."

At this moment, Bai Zhe, who had also witnessed the situation, sighed as if he had been through it all.

"Back then, when I first used this power, I also soared to the top of the clouds in an instant. But unfortunately, I didn't like a life that was too lonely. After admiring the beautiful scenery there for a while, I returned to the ground."

Bai Zhe's exclamation drew the attention of both Hoshiguji Kurono and Nishikyo Nene, with the former even asking her a question.

"Um... how old are you this year?"

Since Hoshiguji Kurono's question wasn't about anything private, Hakutetsu gave a very frank answer.

"Not even twenty."

The moment he finished speaking, he noticed that Hoshiguji Kurono's gaze toward Nishikyo Nene had turned disdainful.

Upon seeing this, the black-haired, kimono-clad loli immediately said in a disgruntled voice, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen an old cow eating young grass before?!"

After being rebuked by Nishikyo Ningyin, Hoshiguji Kuro silently looked away. Just then, a star lit up in the sky, which was Stella, who wanted to return to the ground because she had flown too high.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the crimson meteor crashed directly onto the arena, creating a crater at least thirty meters in diameter.

As the girl fell to the ground, the fire dragon that had been chasing her flew down again, stirring up a gust of wind that dispersed the dust that had almost covered most of the arena.

The girl, who had just been exposed, got up and knelt on the ground, holding her spirit dress in one hand and clutching her buttocks with the other, showing a pained expression.

"It hurts, it hurts~"

Seeing this, Xijing Ningyin couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement: "This guy is a monster, isn't he? He fell from such a height and he's completely unharmed."

However, Bai Zhe calmly replied, "Well, that's how it is with dragons."

The next second, Bai Zhe, in an unyielding tone, pointed at the gray fire dragon and said to Stella:

"Stella, you have now begun to awaken. Now I need you to defeat it."

"no problem!"

Upon hearing this, Stella immediately stood up, clenched her fist, and revealed a confident expression.

As Stella's true power began to awaken, she fought the fire dragon on the ground for more than twenty rounds, turning the arena into ruins, before flying into the air to engage in fierce combat with it.

The explosions, occurring thousands of meters in the sky, drew the attention of many people on the ground.

Fortunately, Hoshiguji Kurono used her position as the chairperson to promptly notify the alliance's higher-ups, preventing the battle from being interfered with.

This battle, which had garnered much attention from the students of Po Jun Academy, gradually came to an end as dusk approached.

The crimson flames turned the evening glow in the sky a deep red, gradually engulfing the enormous gray flames.

Meanwhile, the students who had fainted in the audience gradually woke up.

Immediately, the students present were drawn to the applause coming from the stage and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Are you all awake, little ones?"

Just then, one of the brown-haired boys with a roguish air saw Bai Zhe on the support stage and was gripped by fear from the depths of his soul. He let out a piercing scream and fled the place in a panic.

Noticing that everyone's attention had been drawn to her, Nishikyo Ningyin had to clap her hands again to get everyone's attention back to her before she spoke:

"Just a clown, no need to bother with him."

"Since you are still here, it proves that you all have talent, so you will all have to participate in this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival preliminary selection."

As soon as Xijing Ningyin finished speaking, two surprised voices rang out instantly.

"Eh?"

One was a black-haired girl sitting in the corner of the platform, and the other was a blonde girl sitting closest to the arena, holding a camera in her arms.

Seeing this, Nishikyo Ningyin thought the two were worried about their strength, so she immediately comforted them, "Don't worry, I will personally help you to make a training plan. It's decided then."

There was no other way; the organization was just starting out and there was practically no one else, so she had to do it herself.

After all, it's impossible for King Baekcheol to handle these trivial matters personally.

Hearing Xijing Ningyin's words, they knew that their talents were mediocre, having stayed behind for their own reasons but almost fainting at the very beginning of the Dragon Might Trial.

Although the opportunity to be personally taught by Yashahime, who is ranked third in the league, is extremely rare, they still chose to tell the truth.

The first to speak was the black-haired girl in the corner.

"I'm sorry, Lady Yasha-hime, my talent doesn't meet the criteria for what you call a genius. I only stayed because of some family reasons and I wanted to make a breakthrough in swordsmanship."

Next up was a blonde girl holding a camera.

"Me, me, me, I stayed because I wanted to film the princess fighting."

The two women were well aware of their own abilities; sending them to the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival would only make them look foolish, and they would be eliminated by their opponents in the first round!

Upon hearing this, Nishikyo Ningyin paid no attention to the two girls' reasons, and instead said something very philosophical.

"As the saying goes, cherish your blessings and they will stay; if you are destined to meet, good fortune will come. Since you are all standing here, it proves that we are destined to meet."

"Or do you have some kind of problem with me?"

However, her last question startled the two girls, who obediently shook their heads and took back their previous words!

The moment Nishikyo Ningyin finished speaking, Hoshimiyaji Kurono delivered a karate chop to her neck.

Just as the pained Nishikyo Ningyin was about to retaliate, a cluster of crimson meteors suddenly fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the arena and completely destroying the already shattered space.

The strong winds from the falling meteors howled and blew into the audience seats.

As for the barrier used to protect the audience on the field, it was shattered half an hour after Stella and the fire dragon started fighting!

As the dust settled, Stella's proud yet somewhat disheveled figure stood tall on the unrecognizable arena.

The girl wielding the golden longsword raised her fist and shouted loudly at Bai Zhe on the stage, "I...I won!!"

Seeing this, Bai Zhe clapped his hands and said, "Congratulations, from now on you are no longer a fire mage, but a giant dragon that has awakened."

"Afterwards, you will join Ningyin's training program just like these people. If you encounter any problems, you can ask me."

As soon as Bai Zhe finished speaking, Xi Jing Ningyin chimed in, "You're going to participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival selection too~"

"After all, with your A-rank Knight rating in the entrance exam, you're one of the top contenders for Po Jun Academy this year..."

"You have to work hard for us!"

Stella was greatly encouraged upon hearing this and made a promise to Xijing Ningyin.

"No problem, I will definitely try my best."

After hearing Stella's answer, Nishikyo Ningyin finally smiled with satisfaction, then looked around before speaking:

"Very well, that concludes today's business. Everyone, please go back now."

Seeing Toudou Touka open his mouth as if to ask her a question, Nishikyo Ningyin added, "Touka, you're the same."

After everyone had left, Hoshiguji Kurono looked at the dilapidated competition venue and let out a long sigh: "I'll have to stay up all night writing reports again tonight."

There's no way around it; this is the price of being the chairman.

Although she was in charge of the entire Po Jun Academy's finances, she needed to give the shareholders' meeting and the alliance a suitable reason to use the funds.

Seeing this, Bai Zhe spoke up to comfort him, "But in return, you gained an outstanding student, didn't you?"

Shiro was flattered by Bai Zhe's sudden words of comfort to Hoshiguji Kurono.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

Bai Zhe then asked her, "By the way, can this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival be held earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Hoshiguji Kurono's expression changed immediately, but she still told the truth.

"Then you'll have to go to the Alliance headquarters in person."

"alright."

Having received the answer, Bai Zhe nodded and then left the shattered arena with Xijing Ningyin.

... 2.3

That night, in the girls' dormitory, the girl who had awakened the Dragon God's power untied her twin ponytails, took a good bath to relax, and then changed into a fresh nightgown. She lay down on the bed, thinking about what had happened yesterday and today, and tossed and turned in bed until she finally fell asleep.

But not long after, he sat up, his face flushed and covered in sweat, as he redid the task.

"With Zhe-jun... why would I have such a dream?"

The contents of her dream flashed through her mind, making Stella blush and feel hot all over.

Soon, the girl felt the dampness of the bedding beneath her, and when she reached out to touch it, she discovered that someone had spilled water there.

It's also a bit sticky.

Just as Stella got out of bed to change her panties, she realized the room thermometer was about to explode!

The next day, Stella left the dormitory early. Since she didn't know where Bai Zhe lived, she went straight to the chairman's office and told Hoshiguji Kurono what had happened to her the night before.

Of course, the girl only told the other person about the high temperature on her body, and did not tell her the other thing.
