Chapter 12: Battle Field Trip

As Zedric is listening to the lesson of Teacher Peter Hugo, Skydon is currently feeling unsettled. Skydon won the competition yesterday and thus became a part of the Dragons Arise Program. They were informed that those part of the Dragons Arise Program will be assigned by the Moondragon Corp on missions and tasks starting next week. They will be given the Moondragon bloodline and the Azure Sky Academy will fully support their endeavors.

Skydon will have lesser time with Zedric starting next week. He wasn't sure how to explain this to his friend.

Maybe they'll miss each other's presence.

"There are pros and cons in bloodline magic. The advantage would be an increase in combat prowess and survival ability. The disadvantage would be the level cap. There is a limit as to how far bloodline magic can go. The limit depends on the quality of the bloodline itself. This limit is called the 'Bloodline Shackle'. Breaking the Bloodline Shackle' is the ultimate goal of Warlocks."

"On the other hand, for us cultivators, bloodline magic is only a tool, a bonus, and additional power that we can utilize for our own goals."

Teacher Peter Hugo kept on teaching his understanding on bloodline magic to enlighten the students of Senior High Year 1, aka Zedric's class.

[Riiing!]

"Class dismissed. Goodbye class."

Zedric and Skydon went to the school cafeteria together. As they took their seats and eat their lunch, Skydon has something to say to Zedric.

"Zedric, starting from next week, we will be going to Moondragon Corp. as members of the Dragons Arise Program. Maybe I'll not be coming to school for awhile."

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm just a little introvert but I can manage on my own. I won't be lonely without you."

"You make it sound a little disturbing."

"Nah. It's just in your head."

The two of them continued their conversation when suddenly, someone arrived.

"Mind if I join you?" Frizle Niche. She's also a part of the Dragons Arise Program.

"We don't mind."

The two of them don't really mind since it's not the first time anyway.

"How about me?" Lucas Grey appeared out of nowhere.

"Yeah, go ahead and sit."

The four of them really looked like a strange assortment of different breeds. The crowd is wondering what brought them together again in one table.

[Riiing!]

[Azure Sky Academy Announcement!]

[The Senior High Department is announcing the commencement of the Battle Field Trip.]

[Students who qualify from specific requirements will be deployed to the border of the Central Continent - Southern Continent.]

[The purpose of this trip would be to broaden the horizons of the qualified students.]

[Your Teachers will inform you about the details.]

The Announcement reverberated the whole Azure Sky Academy.

"Battle Field Trip?! Sounds exciting!"

"I can't wait! I wonder when will it be!"

"You should be wondering first whether you'll be qualified or not."

"The requirements shouldn't be stringent right? I have a fear of being left out."

"..."

The Senior High students of Azure Sky Academy are busy discussing about the latest announcement.
