Chapter 3

Is this person going crazy? It's so sad to drive someone crazy like this!
The Nine-tailed Fox, stimulated by the black aura, twisted its black and orange nine tails together and stabbed at Qin Taiyuan. However, they were surrounded by a force field and couldn't even pierce through with a needle.
"This guy is so troublesome. If we can't win, then forget it, but he's using this suicidal move."
"Master, we can only use magic to counter and dissolve the force field."
"Oh no! It's wasting my precious magic. It takes so much magic to counter and dissolve this protective force field, and I know it very well."
Kurais' expression seemed to be becoming more and more unusual, showing signs of pain and struggle. Qin Taiyuan had good talent and potential but lacked strength. It was futile to forcefully do this, and it was impossible for him to successfully unleash his power.
I walked to the front of their force field, placed my hand on it, gradually increased my magic power, and adjusted it to synchronize with the force field. To counter and dissolve it, I needed to synchronize my magic power with the opponent's without the slightest deviation. It was a deceptive technique, making the force field mistake me for one of their own and not resist me.
"Nofice, lend me a hand." Nofice's staff moved and put three different halos around me, assisting me in capturing the opponent's rhythm.
To achieve perfect synchronization without deviation was even more difficult than dismantling a Magic bomb. One could say it was like defusing a bomb.
With Nofice's help, it took a lot of effort, but finally... my hand slowly passed through the force field, and I walked to Qin Taiyuan's side. Without much thought, I threw a punch, a normal fist without any magic or Magic attached, directly towards his cheek. Qin Taiyuan, who was caught off guard, fell to the ground in response. This interruption was considered coercive. I immediately dashed over to help Kurais, who had fainted due to the interrupted unleashment, and ran to the side of a stone pillar.
Gently placing Kurais down, the dragon on the stone pillar was already violently striking the seal. Its magic power leaked out from the loosened seal, making the people in the audience feel as if their airways were blocked, making it difficult to breathe.
"What is your son doing?" the Emperor of the Empire on the high platform couldn't help but ask.
"........" The Duke considered it and said, "Should we reseal?"
I bit my finger and a drop of blood fell on Kurais' forehead. Then, I used blood to draw a square diamond, with small circles drawn in the upper and lower corners. The ground revealed a Magic formation, which included Kurais.
"North and South Spirit Sealing Spell!" Those who had some knowledge of sealing Magic could tell that this ancient spell from before the war between gods and demons was used to counter powerful curses like mythical beasts. Mythical beasts were rare, and encountering them was already difficult, so this rarely used magic spell was practiced by very few people. It was truly amazing to see it used so skillfully.
Actually, I did not intentionally use such an ancient magic spell. I have studied many new magic spells and Magic, but as a Demon Dragon, I am more adept at using old Magic.
After being resealed, the stone pillar disappeared, and the entire battlefield returned to a peaceful calm. The audience forgot about the commotion and was all absorbed in reminiscing about the battle between the two people on the stage.
The familiar had lost its combat strength, and Qin Taiyuan, who had gambled everything, had no more magic power to continue the fight. The outcome had long been clear, but some people refused to accept it.
"You win again!" Qin Taiyuan deflated, lying in the middle of the stage.
"The school has already awarded you a graduation certificate. You're so eager for fame and fortune, but you don't have the capital for it."
"I... don't have the capital?"
"With your innate talent, you may win temporary fame, be the first of your generation. But being blinded by arrogance, you will eventually fall miserably, perhaps even worse than now. Having even stronger abilities is your capital. Your familiar is a dragon with great potential. Losing to me, someone with just an Angel familiar, means you don't have enough power to fully utilize her. Stop treating her as a tool. She truly wishes to be more than just a tool!"
I placed the unconscious Kurais in Qin Taiyuan's arms, and she peacefully fell asleep.
Qin Taiyuan stared at Kurais for a long time, unable to hold back his tears any longer. Perhaps he was recalling the first day he met Kurais, which was actually quite heartwarming, but he had forgotten.
I can no longer control other people's stories, but I enjoy watching them.
After leaving the stage, Nofice smiled mischievously and said, "Master, were those your lines just now? How could the proud Demon Dragon say something like that?"
"I was speaking on behalf of the character," I replied.
"Hey! I didn't say anything!"
"I'm telling you, it's there."
The influence between Bai and I has become even more severe.

Qin Taiyuan was Nad's ace player. Losing a game was a heavy blow, but it lowered the enemy's morale and made the following matches easier. As I walked through the hallway connecting the hotel to the stadium, I could already hear the sound of the outcome being determined on the field. Two to zero. There was no need to worry about it anymore. I didn't plan on playing well in the final match anyways. Don't humans like to engage in insider trading? When in Rome, do as the Romans do. If the Veral Academy was being manipulated by Pella, she wouldn't care about winning or losing this game. Let them lose with some dignity. It's not a problem at all.
Sometimes, problems that can be solved by the mind don't need to be approached with force. Maybe it would be better to not personally get involved in the future. A limited body can't be excessively used.
Looking through the window at the blue sky, the warm winter sun is a rare sight in the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm's sky, which is usually filled with blood, never gives off a warm feeling. Enjoying this warm-colored sky can only be done now...

Originally, I left the academy for the inter-school tournament. Unfortunately, the key moments of this journey didn't revolve around the competition.
"Hey... it's still comfortable here. It's true that 'the dog's bed is better than the dragon's bed.'" Three days later, the curtain fell on the inter-school tournament. The awards and honors were all finished, but living in a noisy world for too long, Qin Yin missed this comfort tremendously after returning to the dormitory.
"A dragon's bed? Is my bed not even as good as a dog's bed?"
"The dragon's bed is just a metaphor. Who said it was about your bed!"
"Isn't mine a dragon's bed?" I put down my luggage and lay comfortably on my own bed. It feels so relaxing~
"Although you are a dragon, the bed you sleep on is just an ordinary bed. It's what I call a 'dog's bed'!" Qin Yin sat down beside us and opened my luggage, taking out all the clothes and neatly folding them.
"You don't need to use your disguise in the dormitory, are you not tired?" I continued to enjoy the comfort of my high bed and warm pillow as I spoke.
"I'm just used to it!" Qin Yin took off her disguise. A girl dressed in boys' clothing sat beside me, but I still chose to lie on the bed and feel completely devoid of fighting spirit. After going through numerous and frequent magical enhancements, the human body felt exhausted, both physically and mentally.
"Master, can I continue going back to school tomorrow?" Nofice, who had revealed themselves as a familiar and could freely appear now, was still pleading like this. Technically, they no longer needed to be a student, right? But Nofice still begged in this way.
"Well... I'll talk to the principal and maybe it'll be possible! Remind me during dinner time."
After lying down, I decided to enjoy my campus life before the winter vacation, because after the winter vacation, I would enter the Demon Realm.

The next morning, as I passed through the school gate, I witnessed this scene.
"Master! I really want to become your apprentice, please!" Qin Taiyuan bowed ninety degrees in front of me.
