At the meeting point, everyone else has gathered and waited for me. They were surrounding around Eris and Nova who were holding a weapon with holy aura around them.

"Sorry for the wait. I need some time for adjusting my power. My dark power went bit haywire when I chose the Hero side as a dragon."

I made a fake excuse.

"I see... that's of course a troublesome thing."

Nova said with dry laugh.

"So, what kind of replica did you guys get?"

I asked.

"I got this monk staff. It's kind of impractical to use."

Eris said sadly.

"I got this crosswheel. It's a projectile weapon."

He said.

"I heard that weapon is quite difficult to use so, do your best."

I said.

"Talking about regalia, Ren-nii, have you manifested your Regalia?"

Shiina asked.

"Not yet. As a holder of multiple seed, my growth speed got slower."

I said.

"So, how high is your level?"

She inquired.

"My Hero seed is at 87. I don't know what level I need to get one."

I said.

"It's level 90, Ren-nii."

She said.

"Oh, you already manifested yours?"

I asked. She nodded shyly.

"Hee... what kind of regalia is it?"

I asked.

"A bow and quiver. The arrows are magic arrows that could manipulate the heart of the target for short amount of time. The quiver produced an arrow every 24 hours at midnight. So far I have 120 arrows in the quiver."

She said.

"It seems like we got a little cupid in our group. Hahaha!!"

I joked.

"MOU!!"

Shiina pouted when I teased her.

"It seems like everyone is here."

I heard a voice behind me. When I turned around I saw Mare's huge muscle close to my face.

"UWAAAAAAAH!!"

I jumped back in surprise.

"Urph!! I really can't get used to him no matter what."

Noden was holding up to not throwing up from seeing Mare. Lisha was helping him from the side.

"We come to send you off."

Freeden said. He and the other teachers were standing side by side in front of us.

"You guys have passed our standard. Congratulation. This is the first time for human race to withstand our harsh regiment."

He started his speech.

"Thank you very much."

I and my party bowed at our instructors.

"Leonardo Michaelo, Ameralda Rossetta, Flint Strega, Takayashiki Shiina, Alicia Michaelo, Noden and Lisha, you all are without doubt humans who could stand side by side with us, dragons. I, as the representative of the dragons, recognized you all as adult dragons."

Freeden said.

"Leonardo Michaelo, Ameralda Rossetta, Alicia Michaelo, and Ren Concerto."

Mother Dragon began speaking.

"The four of you are parents for those children. Treat them well. Raise them well. And when the time comes, Asvi would pick them up for their education."

She said.

"Yes!!"

Four of us replied.

"Freeden, Lisha, Nova, and Eris, come forward."

She called the four. They were dumbfounded for having their name called. Mother dragon handed a magic bag with golden pattern on it to Lisha and Eris each.

"In there, I stored a dragon egg. When you got some spare time, hatch it. You can ask Ameralda or Alicia about the method."

Mother dragon said.

"YES!!"

Four of them answer in unison. Noden and Lisha however got some complicated looks on their face.

"Nova, Ren Concerto"

This time Mare spoke up.

"You two are without doubt my disciple. Don't forget my teaching and be a true man for your partner."

He said.

"YES!!"

We both answered.

"Also, don't forget about spre-"

"We'll refrain doing that."

"-ading my sense of beauty!! Geh!! At least let me finish before refusing!!"

Mare snapped when we refused his second request.

"Eris"

Mare called her.

"I know that we just reunited. But, I think this is my path that I should walk on."

She said before Mare said anything.

"I know. You looked like your mother a lot when you say that."

Mare said. Tears welled up in his eyes.

"Stay well."

"Father too."

"Come home from time to time."

"I'll make sure to write a letter at least."

"Let me see my grandchild soon."

"Th-That-"

Eris lost of words by her father request.

"Nova"

He called for Nova.

"Protect her well."

"Yes"

"Treat her well"

"Yes"

"Don't make her cry"

"Yes"

"Don't cheat on her"

"Yes"

"Make sure she's always happy."

"Yes"

"Don't make her worry too much"

"Yes"

"Also-"

"There's more?!!"

Nova retorted.

"What? You got a problem?"

Mare intimidated him.

"FATHER!! GIVE IT A BREAK ALREADY!!"

"OGUGH!! Nice attack, Eris"

Eris kicked his groin instead any other place. Mare crouched in pain.

"This is the last one. If you're making her cry, I'll make sure you're not dead easily when I trash you around."

He warned with his hand still holding his groin while trembling.

"I won't do that, alright. Just look forward your grandchildren faces when we comeback."

Nova declared.

"What a cheeky remark for a brat."

He smirked. Mare turned around and staggered as he walked away from the venue while holding his groin on unsteady pace.

"Stay well. Lessons. Don't Forget."

This time Asvi stated her advice.

"Lessons. Useful. So. Don't Forget."

She added.

"Yes!!"

We answered again.

"Anastasia."

She was called by Sebastian.

"You indeed qualified as a maid. But, the world of servitude is deeper than any trench. Keep improving yourself. Don't laze around or break the taboo. If you do, I'll drag you back her for a thousand years sermons and reflection session."

"I'll keep that in my mind."

Anastasia said.

After the long speeches from the teachers, we departed. We used the elevator to the entrance. We were eagerly waited for the door to open. The world where the chaos was already spreading was waiting for us to bring hope to erase the despair.

In an alley near the farewell site, Mare was leaning against the wall. At the opposite side, another man with an eyepatch covering his left eye was looking toward the elevator door from the shadow of the buildings.

"That was a nice farewell skit you have there."

The man said.

"Skit? What are you talking about?"

Mare played a fool.

"That kind of attack shouldn't be able to damage you right?"

"Well, that's true. I just want to see my daughter smile again before leaving."

"Is that really fine, to take different path like this?"

"That's fine. At least, I want to teach her the harsh reality with my own hands. She will grow too naïve if she stays with them too long under this pace."

"That's true..."

The man sighed and looked at the entrance again.

"So, what do you think of Acedia-sama?"

He asked.

"He's naïve and too innocent. The existence of that human girl is a weight to his growth. But, that weight contains explosive attached to the chain. If we break that chain, he will definitely awaken as a true demon lord but at the same time, the world will awaken the worst nightmare ever."

Mare said.

"So, which flag?"

The man asked.

"The worst, Death."

"Seriously? That's pretty dangerous. I'm planning to tell Superbia-sama about this."

"Then, send my regards to him."

"Alright. Just don't die early, Chaos Emperor Dragon – Nightmare East."

He said.

"You too, Chaos Emperor Dragon – Bailord West"

Mare said. Bailord sank into the darkness. Mare took the ring on his left middle finger. His feminine traits faded like an illusion and showed a man with spiky hair, sharp ears with three earrings pierced to his left ears. He had green left eye and purple right eye. He wore black robe and armor. He walked way and disappeared into the darkness.
