4 dayster…
The vige has managed to resume its peaceful life, recovering from the bandit, as nothing seemed to be out of position other than the fake fire ident that took ce in the chief''s house a few days ago…
Taking this chance and peaceful scenery to rx till the time of the meeting, I grew more refreshed by the day.
''Seems like it''s more sessful than expected…''
Looking at thepletely honest farmers that one could no longer think that they were a group of bandits that came to attack the vige less than a week ago, made me remember the fact that while some ancient philosophers said that humans are evil and greedy by nature, some other believed that humans are naturally born kind and that it''s how they grow is what changes them.
''I should be able to implement the second suggestion without any trouble now…''
In the end, I decided to put it aside for now, and wait for when the jade te finally shines so that I would implement it in the end, just to be careful…
`~~`~~`~~`
''Oh, it was really close, just like the chief said…''
The green jade te started shining brightly just one hour after sunset, a few minutes before I nned to head to sleep…
''Well, since they really have no time manners, I will head out tomorrow…''
Not worrying about missing the annual meeting because of my sleep considering my speed, I threw the jade te in my spatial ring to stop its annoying light, as I presumed with my sleep preparations, now that I had to leave early to avoid any fuss it was better to sleep as early as I could…
`~~`~~`~~`
Next morning, waking up before the rest of the vige did, I started getting ready to leave, after all, the locator didn''t really tell you how far you are from the meeting''s location, it just gave simple directions…
Though I didn''t really need to do much as I just had to throw my stuff inside the spatial ring, I made sure to take a quick wash since it was avable anyway, before putting on the ''Convenient armor'' which actually had an auto clean function as part of its auto recovery one...
''That should be enough…''
After adding the ''vige protectors'' suggestion to the heavily sleeping bandits and making sure nothing happened to the first one, I silently left a letter for the vige chief to tell him in a vague way about the former bandits'' current state as well as a quick goodbye and a final thanks…
Using the locator''s direction, I went off calmly as I wasn''t nning to just dash off just yet, as I was still expecting something to happen to me today…
''It has been a week since then.''
The full dragon blood body adaption!
Last time, when I tried using the ''Dragonization'' ability that I obtained from evolving into a draconic human, it said that I would only be able to use it after one week as adaption wasn''tplete…
So, now that one week has passed, it was likely that a change would take ce, or the ''Dragonization'' ability would activate at the very least, so it was actually quite timely of the meeting to be this close as I needed to leave the vige anyway, in case whatever grabbed more attention to the vige…
''Causing one bandit attack inadvertently is more than enough already…''
`~~`~~`~~`
Thump!
After a few hours of wandering in the direction implied by the jade te, I suddenly felt that my heart was beating faster than it usually should…
''It''s about time…''
My blood started to boil like it did back then during the evolution process, but it was of course less painful, it only gave me a stingy feel as I already had ''Fire Immunity (Advanced)'' to back me up.
However, this time I felt that the blood that passed through my whole body was actively changing my organs, the changes were slight, but they seemed to have more meaning than their actual capacity…
Thump! Thump!
As my heart started to beat faster and faster, for a split second my whole mind went nk as I received a little shback of somesort…
ROARRR!
Out of nowhere, I found myself letting out a huge dragon roar that rivaled the sky dragon''s in his corrupted state, before finallying back to my senses…
It was only a few seconds, but I instead felt that a few hours had passed.
Looking at myself, I noticed a few… well, it was a little too much to call it few, but my outer body did have a new look.
Taking out a full body mirror, I looked at the state I was in.
My whole body was covered in scales after shredding the leather armor away, which was still amazingly recovering on its own in the ground…
The scales seemed to be quite tough, which seemed to act as quite a hard yet very light armor, there was no tail growing out of my back nor hornsing out of my head.
Roar!
The pseudo dragon in my hand suddenly came out from under the scales, roaring once to the sky…
''Did that help to finally get out of his shell…?''
However, after roaring, it simply returned back to my hand, with the only difference being that the dragon inscription looked more defined…
''... Whatever, let''s first check the ''Dragonization'' ability to see how can I turn it off…''

''So…''
Simply willing it to, the scales on my right hand that had been removed by the pseudo dragon''s strange screaming escapade started growing back in ce, after a few seconds it also vanished back into my skin once again.
ying with it a bit, I felt like it was quite a convenient ability, I could simply use it for specific position defending or even use as gloves & battle boots when I practice my body technique!
Not to mention that…
''It looks cool…''
Remembering that I would be in in sight with this strange attire, if anyone passed by here, I hurriedly retracted the whole dragon scale suit, before putting on another suit of armor, and picking up the one on the ground and going on my way while pondering about the rest of the abilities...
