healer branch; even among Dragon Knights healers are very rare.”
When Max failed to answer because of shock, Axcel did for him. “Thank you Grand Master Shadow for trusting us with these missions. I promise we will not fail you,” said Axcel, as he bowed and pushed Max's head so that he would bow as well.
“Um.... We won't fail,” said Max trying to shake off the shock of being considered worthy of a mission given by a dragon.
“And I am sure you won't. Now go rest while I talk to Adria and Alex,” said Master, as the healer team escorted them out.
“Now, will you tell me what happened word for word? And don't worry you won’t be punished for what happened. I dislike most Nobles as much as you,” said Master with a playful tone I hadn't heard before.
After I told him what happened, he questioned me on how I felt and how tired I was. Adria filled in the blanks except for the Vorm’s thought of liking her and also gave the whole story from her perspective. I must say I sounded pretty cool.
“Well, it seems you are very fond of Adria. If not the Vorm would have attacked her the same way it attacked Axcel. It's amazing that you can form a complete darkness Vorm, something even the most experienced Dragon Knights struggle with, and only with two months of training. Had you not become a Dragon Knight you would have probably become the most powerful mage this academy has…” His thoughts seemed to wander for a moment before continuing. “Moving on to more pressing issues… Alex as the first of this new generation of Dragon Knights and the only current Knight to have a legendary attribute deal makes you the new Knights, Senior Knight. You will have to help them and protect them against others. You had little contact with your friends during these last two months and that’s going to change now, but your duties as a Knight come first. Ilena being noble born will be very powerful; she might even come to be on par with you sooner than what you would expect. That means you are going to have to train faster and harder to maintain your edge over her. You must master the darkness Vorm and start training on the next set of spells before she arrives here with her dragon master. Evey is also speculated to be a natural, so you will be pressed to keep your superiority over both girls. This is where you come in Adria. Since Alex's darkness Vorm runs the risk of attacking, and if the situation is right, killing its opponent even if it’s under control, you who are viewed by it and Alex as friends won't be harmed. That's why I want you to help him train and at the same time you will pick up new abilities that will give you a better chance at achieving second place in the upcoming exams. It will also improve your team skills. Given the risk there is in using darkness magic I will personally oversee your training. Also I believe we will have a visit from the Dragon Council in a few weeks I expect you to-“
“Who said I wasn’t going to win?” interrupted Adria clearly annoyed. “And a Dragon Council? We have been taught all dragons are free to do as they please and answer to no central figure.”
“I was going to ask about that Master. It’s what we are taught in class but that doesn’t concur with the Dragon Knights Order. From what you have told me, the Order has an elder council that is composed of the four Cardinal dragons and four human representatives who have achieved the rank of Dragon Rider and they dictate orders to the Knights and their respective dragon teachers. Since there is only one Dragon Rider, the council was absolved. But that still leaves the question of who our leader is and you have mentioned the Dragon Council before but never fully explained what it is.”
“You are a rude little human aren't you, Adria. If you must know, all 5 Academies belong to us dragons, even if the Noble houses and the Empire run them. The academies were originally built to
