<h4>Chapter 1276: Problem, the genius dragon tamer?</h4>
"Two matters?"
Wu Yan flinched.
"So you were serious when you said you have something to discuss."
Reba pouted.
"You think I was messing with you?"
"Ahaha..."
Wu Yan mumbled.
"You weren''t?"
"You..."
Reba wanted to get mad but amusement overwhelmed her instead. However, Wu Yan sensed something dangerous in her friendly smile.
"You think I am someone who would do that?"
Wu Yan turned his head the other way. He tagged her with the Haraguro tag as well.
"Anyway, enough joshing around, let''s get down to brass tacks..."
Reba bitterlyughed. She crossed her arms to mirror Wu Yan.
But, this action made her twin Howitzers stand out. Wu Yan almost lost control of his focus.
Reba dered something shocking despite her distracting gesture.
"First, you''re going to join the student council."
"Ha?"
Wu Yan didn''t know where this came from.
"Why?"
"Why not?"
Reba sounded like she genuinely found Wu Yan''s confusion puzzling.
"I am the student council president and you''re my personal guard. Of course, that means you need to be on the student council as well."
"Ugh..."
Wu Yan forgot about this. He shrugged.
"I couldn''t care less but don''t me me if things go south."
Wu Yan is already known as the student who got in through closed-door negotiations.
If he suddenly joins the student council then the students will probably denounce him as a guy who got there through his connections. Reba''s image will also probably be tarnished.
The perfect president chose to use favors and connections to get her guard on the board. This will definitely make her an easy target for her opponents.
"Don''t worry."
Reba nodded. She can see why Wu Yan had qualms about this move.
"Rumors are rumors, just prove to them that you have the power to be there. Nobody can say bad things about you if you clear up rumors."
"Okay, how are you so sure I have the strength to do that?"
Wu Yan rolled his eyes.
"You haven''t even seen what I can do. You don''t even know my Pal. You''re just going by your hunch since I have weird Astral orbs flying around me?"
"Well, if you have to put it like that then yes, it''s just my hunch..."
Wu Yan rubbed his temples like he had a sudden headache.
"Women..."
"Hey, without a woman like me you would be sleeping on the streets."
Reba shot him a look.
"Plus, we will know soon enough if you have the power..."
Wu Yan couldn''t ignore that statement.
"Why?"
"The second matter..."
Reba sighed.
"You''re going to the Dragon Riding battle practical, right?"
"Yeah?"
"That''s it."
Reba furrowed her brows.
"Remember how I got you in by iming you''re a dragonar? The teachers weren''t entirely on board with that. I think you''re going to be in trouble when you go to that ss."
"Problem?"
Wu Yan shrugged.
"They are going to make me fight someone to test if I am really a dragonar?"
"No, they don''t have to make you fight."
Reba exined.
"Well, the instructors will probably make you summon your Pal. Then, they will all know if you''re a dragonar."
To be a dragonar, a student needs to get his/her pal to evolve to Holy Dragons.
In other words, if his pal is Holy-dragon-level then he is a dragonar.
Reba made her confusion known.
"More like, where is your Pal? Why don''t you make it stay in the dragon stables provided by the school?"
Ansullivan Dragonar Academy provides dragon stables to house the Pals of students. And, these stables are furnished rather well.
Even Maestro (holy dragons) dragons can be housed in the stables. Most students also chose to leave their dragons in stables. At least, in this school, 4 out of the 5 known Maestros are housed in stables.
Reba housed her dragon in a stable too.
Unknown to her, Wu Yan''s dragons are kept in his body. They don''t need physical food or care. Wu Yan will not divulge this deviant attribute.
"Curiosity killed the cat, careful or you might lose yourself in this mystery."
"Oh, is that so?"
Reba took that topic deflection with an elegant riposte.
"We will see about that..."
On a training field reserve for the first year''s practical battle training sses, students herded their dragons as they stood neatly in two lines.
The students were dressed for the asion. They had gant clothes on. Thedies also wore spats that protected them from idental shes. Meanwhile, the male students had ck coats that looked way better than their official uniforms.
The instructors roamed their strict gazes over everyone.
"First things first, unarmedbat with dragons is the basic foundational skill we seek to inculcate in your lot. Come in here with yful attitudes and you will eat dust. When you proceed to more advanced dragon riding skills, you will pay dearly for not paying attention. Now, adjust your mental states and focus on the lessons."
Wu Yan, Ash, and Raymond stood together in one of the lines. They whispered while listening to the instructor''s lecture.
"Rowan, why didn''t you bring your pal?"
Raymond had his Pal, Bridget leashed to him.
"Ash has no pal, fine, what about you?"
"Ash has no pal?"
Wu Yan looked at Ash who looked dark.
"Ash, seriously, you don''t have a pal?"
"I do!"
That triggered a retort from Ash. He tried to pipe down.
"It just isn''t born yet."
"Huh?''
Wu Yan is confused.
"Breeders usually have their pals by the time they enroll in the first year of foundations, no?"
"I don''t know, go ask someone else!"
Ash pursed his lips in annoyance.
"Rowan, Ash is an exception. His pal''s slow birth is one of the seven mysteries of this school. Everyone wants to know why."
Raymond shrugged.
"But, it won''t affect Ash. He can ride anyone''s Pal."
"He can anyone''s pal?"
Wu Yan continued.
"I thought Pals only let their masters ride them?"
"Not for the genius dragon tamer, Ash."
Raymond said.
"That ability is the second 7 mysteries of this school..."
Wu Yan teased Ash.
"Not bad, that''s impressive man..."
Ash bitterlyughed.
