Dragon Raja: Reboot

Last time, he gained power through pain and despair, and finally broke through the battlefield under the cover of all the protesters.

He won the final throne, but at the cost of everything.

This time, he not only wanted to win, but he wanted to win decisively, replacing a bad ending with a happy ending.

But this is by no means something that one person can accomplish alone; he needs a lot of help.

For example, EVA, which concerns the fate of humanity, and the large alchemical array that can prevent the Nibelungen from returning to the mortal world, require a complete Dragon King-level combat force to confront those dark monarchs, clearing a clean battlefield for them, so that a battle between supreme beings can take place.

The enemy will arrive with a massive army, but he will also be surrounded by friends and companions.

This also means that... he needs to gain the approval of many people beforehand.

The most important person among them is the principal.

The reason why the Secret Party collapsed so quickly, like dominoes, and became the Gattuso family's sole authority, can be traced back to the serious injury and fall of Principal Angers.

The principal is the first domino to fall in the enemy's hands.

"Principal," Lu Mingfei said, removing his sunglasses, his hoarse voice interrupting Angers' lecture, "Are you familiar with World War II in the last century?"

Angers gripped the steering wheel with one hand and smiled, "I met Henkel during World War II, and in 46 I even arrived in Japan as part of the occupying force."

"Have you ever heard of the name Itada Sukeo?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.

"Ida Sukeo? No, what's wrong? Do you know him? Are you looking for him?" Angers asked, bewildered.

"No, no, no... He has already sacrificed his life!" Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hand and continued, "He was exposed to Marxism when he was in college, and later joined the Japanese Communist Party, but with the outbreak of war, he was still sent to the front line."

"His last mission before he died was to transport a truckload of ammunition and supplies to the front lines, but he quietly left the convoy and parked the truckload of supplies in a secluded grove."

"When the Chinese soldiers clearing the battlefield found him, he had already committed suicide, leaving behind only a suicide note. In the note, he said that he had seen our army's anti-Japanese war leaflets and wished the sacred cause of communism an early success..."

Angers put down his cigar and said thoughtfully, "This shows that ideas can transcend ethnicity and national boundaries."

"Yes, so Principal..." Lu Mingfei said, emphasizing each word, "If even Japan back then could produce such anti-fascist warriors, is it possible for dragons and humans to coexist?"

The Maserati climbed the high bridge, crossed the street, and passed through the gaps between the shadows of trees and European-style buildings.

The dappled light and shadow flickered across their faces.

Just like Lu Mingfei's feelings.

Angers' voice came to an abrupt halt.

His expression was as somber as if it were in a place where the sunlight couldn't reach.

He couldn't quite grasp the leap in Mingfei's thinking, but this question truly touched a chord with him.

The two remained silent and locked in a tug-of-war for a long time.

In the long silence, Lu Mingfei's heart gradually sank below the surface of the sea like a blood-red setting sun, falling into the deep ocean.

Angers exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly:

"These two examples cannot be equated. The reason why God cannot coexist with mankind is that God is unwilling to step down from His throne and relinquish His power and authority. If He were to step down from His throne, He would no longer be qualified to be called God."

"My biggest dream in this life is to imprison all the Dragon Kings in their temples, and then place a nuclear bomb in each temple and detonate it at the same time. I will sit on the bronze pillar that nailed the White King to death and watch the Dragon Clan be destroyed. On that day, the fire will fall like rain. Just thinking about it is wonderful."

"Your dear vice-principal calls me the undertaker. According to my logic, all dragons are our enemies. Only one of us can live—either they die, or I die. It's simple and brutal."

"You asked me if dragons and humans can coexist... Well, my answer now is no."

Lu Mingfei listened quietly, his heart sinking to the bottom.

"But..." Angers abruptly changed the subject, turning to look at Lu Mingfei with a smile, "Do you remember how I evaluated Frost before?"

"...Too radical, inflexible?"

Angers snapped his fingers:

"I remember it very clearly! That guy was awful, and I don't want to end up like him, becoming a stubborn old man in other people's eyes, so I think I need to be more flexible."

"I can forgive no one in this world, except for one group: my students!"

"I am an educator, and my principles tell me to be patient and tolerant with my students. I can forgive them for things they cannot control, such as their talents or their background..."

"But there's a prerequisite: they must do what they can decide, just like walking on the right path."

The old man's voice was deep and hoarse, carrying a sense of solemnity and dignity.

Lu Mingfei's eyes slowly brightened, as if shimmering with a faint light.

He turned his head and looked out the window at the empty street. The tree-lined path flashed by, and the dappled light and shadows swept across his eyes.

Is this the principal indirectly indicating his willingness to support him?

Angers glanced at Lu Mingfei, who was standing there in a daze, and for no apparent reason, he thought of the painting that he had burned.

That painting... was submitted by Lu Mingfei along with his exam paper when he took the 3E exam.

The painting depicts two boys, one big and one small, sitting on a windowsill with green vines hanging down and their four legs dangling outside the window. They stand side by side, gazing at a distant tower.

To ask such a question at this time...

It seems you were not only not late, but you actually arrived early.

Angers slammed on the gas pedal, and with a roar of the engine, the car reached its maximum speed.

A black lightning bolt streaked across the city.

"Principal, shouldn't we go catch them in the act now?" Lu Mingfei suddenly turned his head, rubbing his hands together, as if he had already returned to normal.

Facing the wind, the old man laughed heartily, "Let's go! Let's go see my other two lovely students!"

Note 1: I'm afraid of censorship regarding "Ma" and "Gong," as it would be troublesome if the chapters were blocked, so I've automatically omitted these keywords.

Note 2: I can't reply on qread. I wanted to reply yesterday, but it reminded me that my public reply level was not high enough, so I'm stuck in Bengbu... (The Gattuso family in the previous chapter is not part of the Dragon 5 setting. I only read the first half of Dragon 5. I was originally planning to wait for the major revision in the single volume, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for so long...)

Note 3: This is also the most important point. Dragon Raja is a book with interconnected plots, and many of the events are transitional. So, most of the time, we followed the main storyline. But from here on, after Lu Mingfei has gained Angers' indirect approval, he will start writing his own script. For example, the trip to Tokyo will be on the agenda. It's impossible to finish writing about Dragon Raja before meeting Erii. It is expected to be within ten chapters.

Note 4: Dragon Raja... is actually an ensemble piece. My biggest goal in writing this book was to make up for regrets, and my second goal was to keep the characters consistent. So far, I feel that they haven't, emmmm...

Finally, I'm begging for recommendations, to read further, and to add this to my favorites! (sob)
