Dragon Heart Sold

Silica put the 6 white platinum coins in her space ring. She handed the box to Clara.

Clara carefully received the box. She's holding the box carefully while trembling. She opened it slowly and she saw a heart that is about the size of an adult human face. The color is blood red and Clara can feel the surging mana in the heart.

But for Zero who has countless hearts of ancient dragons in his [Dimensional Pocket], it's like a pebble to him.

Silica asked Clara

"Are you satisfied?"

"Y-yes I am v-very satisfied," Clara answered while still looking at the heart. It's her first time seeing an Elder dragon's heart. She already saw the heart of an adult dragon. When she saw the heart of the adult dragon she has the same impression when she saw heart of the Elder Dragon. But now it changed when she saw the heart of Elder Dragon.

If you compare the heart of Elder Dragon and Adult Dragon, it's like comparing trash and gold!

"Since we are finished with the business, we are now leaving. My mas-, err my subordinates and I will be leaving." Silica said while standing from her seat.

"You are leaving already? You can stay here for a little more. I can personally tour you in this academy." Clara encouraged them to stay a little more.

Zero cut in on their conversation

"We're not really in hurry. I think we can stay here for a day."

Diablo and Silica nodded.

Clara is overjoyed when she heard Zero's words she said

"That's good! I will just take a bath. Give me a minute."

Mae arrived carrying food while they are waiting for Clara.

After a few minutes, Clara entered the living room. Her looks are now much better when they first met her! Her long black hair, light blue eyes, and sexy body made her more appealing! Her eye bags can't be seen anymore because she used healing magic.

She's wearing a white dress.

Zero and Diablo didn't show even a bit of surprise when they saw Clara.

This made Clara disappointed a bit because she thinks she is not beautiful to make the two boys in front of her notice her.

Mae noticed that her Master is feeling down so she spoke

"Master are you alright?"

"Ah Y-yes, I am alright. I just remembered the paper works in the academy." Clara said while stuttering.

"Let's go I will tour you now in my academy."

Clara said in a hurrying tone.

Mae bowed to them before they left the house.

They walked around the academy. The students' break time is now over so there are only a few people that can be seen outside.

There are a total of 16 buildings that excluded Clara's house. Each building has 3 classrooms. 13 classrooms were used by students. The remaining buildings are where students are staying. One is where Clara is staying, a library where most of the magicians and alchemists are using, the other one is a room where teachers hold their meetings. And the last one is the storage room. The storage room is heavily guarded because many important items are inside it.

There is also a very large training field that is about the size of a football field on Earth. As the name suggests, this is where students trained their swords and magic.

They arrived at the training field. While walking around, they were greeted by some students who are training with their teachers. Even the teachers greeted them.

"Good Afternoon, Headmaster!" They all said in unison.

Clara just waves her hand at them. Clara saw a beautiful girl with pointed ears in the training field training her daggers. When the elf saw Clara she bowed and said

"Good Afternoon, Headmaster."

"Oh, Larah. How are you doing? Are you satisfied with the teachings of Elric?"

Clara asked Larah.

Zero looked at Larah for a while. He felt familiar when he saw her. He recalls his memories while looking at the sky and holding his chin.

'Ah, she's the 2nd runner up in that tournament.' He muttered.

Silica saw Zero's actions.

'What is Master thinking at this moment?' She muttered.

While Diablo... he's still very quiet.

Clara introduced Larah

"This is Larah. She is the 2nd runner-up in the tournament that's been held recently in the city. Elric who won the tournament and a teacher here, took her as his student because he found great talent in her."

"Nice to meet you." She said coldly while slightly bowing.

"The beautiful girl beside me is Silica. The long-haired man is Zero. And the other man is Diablo." Clara introduced them.

Silica smiled at Larah. While Zero and Diablo just nodded their heads. Suddenly a middle-aged man wearing glasses approaches them. He showed his respect and said

"Good Afternoon, Headmaster!"

"Oh, Elric. I have heard that you've earned quite a sum in that tournament." Clara said while smiling.

"Ah... eh, I'm just lucky to be able to join in that tournament headmaster. If it's not first come first serve and if there is no limitation on how many people can join the tournament, I've surely lost." Elric said while scratching his head.

"Your luck must be good though. By the way, how's your teaching with Larah?" Clara changed the topic and looked at Larah.

"She's a very good student, Headmaster! She can easily learn what I teach her. She's also very disciplined. Many men tried to get her heart but she said that she will only recognize them if they are stronger than her."

Elric told Clara.

Sarah hides her head in embarrassment. Everyone saw how Larah is trying to hide her embarrassed face. They are shocked except for Diablo and Zero because who thought that a cold-looking woman will show such aside! Silica, Clara, and Elric sighed inwardly.

Zero and Diablo have serious expressions on their face. Then Clara introduced Silica, Diablo, and Zero to Elric.

For Silica, it's normal for Zero and Diablo to have a serious expression.

But in Zero's POV, this kind of expression is just normal to him.
