76 Sully Grew Up
Arthur was still in a weakened state, which made him take longer to reach Odemore.
When he got there, Wisa and Jane were in front of the mansion, anxious.
“We should go and look for him. It’s been 3 hours.” Wisa said, moving from side to side.
It was at that moment Arthur returned, and both girls ran to hug him.
“Arthur!”
They hugged for a few minutes, before Jane said, “we were so scared.”
“I am here now,” Arthur said, trying to calm down both of his girls.
A lot of things happened after they parted ways, including Arthur entering the Dream Realm, and meeting another dragon.
When he was explaining everything, Jane was the most shocked. She knew Nefion. Not that much because he left when she was little, but still, she knew him.
“Nefion is also a dragon? That’s just, how?”
“I don’t know either. I guess we can only find out when talking to him again, which will take a while.”
“Absolutely.”
Jane and Arthur were talking, and Wisa was beside them playing with the new compass Arthur gained from Arsin.”
“Will this take us to the legendary Sky City? I can’t believe it. It was my dream to find that place, you know when I was still an adventurer.” “We will get there, Wisa, all of us, together.” Wisa smiled and kept playing with the compass.
The dungeon problem was solved, at least for now. Arthur knew he did not have enough strength to clear the deeper levels, so what he needed to do was level up.
“The dinner is in a few days.” Arthur thought.
They talked for a while, but it was getting dark, and the next day Jane and Wisa had to teach the students.
Odemore could not stop teaching for that long. It would harm the students.
Jane left first to her room.
Wisa looked at Arthur and said, “It is late for our private class in the two-handed sword, but I promise I’ll teach you more tomorrow.”
Arthur moved closer to Wisa, and said, “only if you promise me a kiss tomorrow.”
They were close to each other, and both could hear their breaths. Wisa gave him a peck on the lips and ran away to her room.
“She’s cute.” Arthur thought.
The mansion was silent, but that changed when Arthur got to his room and saw the snoring Sully on his bed.
“Aren’t you supposed to be with Kai?”
Arthur made a quick dinner for himself, took a shower, and went to bed with Sully beside him.
He knew that if he woke up Sully, then Sully would be even more annoying than usual, so he just let him sleep there, snoring all night.
Arthur was so tired that it did not affect him that much…
The next day, Odemore was vivid again. All students returned to their classes. A few were excited about that, as it meant learning more about magic.
Others, on the other hand, wanted to have a vacation.
When Arthur woke up, Sully was not there anymore. Sully was going out a lot these past days, and Arthur presumed he was hunting.
For now, the only thing Arthur could do was to take care of the academy, and absorb the sunlight when possible.
To unlock more skills described inside that book, Arthur needed to reach a certain threshold of absorbed energy. It would take some time for him.
Arthur ate something light in the morning and went out to watch the students.
He liked to do that to see if they were studying, and not fooling around. Theodore was the person he kept his eyes on the most.
After everything that happened, Theodore was not acting like a rude noble anymore and was treating other students with respect.
Arthur felt proud that he changed his behavior, although he used extreme ways.
“Maybe he was like that because of his family? They were the ones that raised him.” Arthur thought as he flew above Odemore, watching the students from high up in the sky.
The dungeon nearby posed a great treat to Arthur and his school. What if the monsters there attacked the school out of a sudden?
Arthur wanted to make a magic array around the school, as a way of protection. But leaving the island was not possible without Sully.
He could use his fire wings to fly and reach a nearby city, but he was sure his stamina would not last that long.
“How long will it take for Sully to grow?” Arthur thought.
It was at that moment, that he saw a dot from afar going directly towards him.
“A flying beast?” Arthur prepared his combat stance, but as the beast got closer, Arthur noticed who it was.
It was Sully. In a matter of days, he was not little anymore and was big enough for two people to ride on his back.
“Sully? How did you grow that fast?”
“I don’t know either, it just happened. Look how beautiful I am.”
Different from a dragon that had four legs, Sully only had two. He was all white with yellow eyes.
Sully was not in the adult stage, but he could already carry people around, as even in the younger stages wyverns were huge.
“Hey, Arthur. Your wings have flames on them. I want it too!”
“One day, if you behave, I’ll teach you the secret.” “Lame ass. Also, what are you doing up here? Don’t tell me you are spying on girls.”
“No, I was just taking care of my students.”
“Obviously,” Sully said jokingly.
“Hey, give me a ride.”
Arthur flew and jumped on Sully’s back. He did not even let Sully choose.
“All right. Let me show you my speed.” Above the sky, on an island without a name, a man and a wyvern flew together. They were fast, and some students saw them.
“What is that?”
“I think it is your president flying on a wyvern.”
“A wyvern? These are rare. How did he tame one?”
“Oh, mighty president, please show us the way.”
Most of the students were men. They worshiped Arthur, and wanted to become just like him…
