The Golden Throne

Chapter 48 - A Dragon Arrived?

Liu Feng was practising what he just thought about when he could feel a few people looking at him. He turned around to see Amelia, Jean, and Li Zhang looking at him. Li Zhang looked at him with interest, but the two girls were furious with him. They couldn't wait to tear him apart. Liu Feng ignored them but then he felt a colder presence in the vicinity, and he felt ill intent. He turned back again. This time, both Jean and Li Zhang stopped bothering about Liu Feng and took out their weapons. Both of them had staffs with magic crystals on them. Magic crystals were a purer, more permanent form of magic stones. Infact, Liu Feng wanted multiple crystals for the trains, but it was too extravagant, so he dropped it.

They readied themselves for battle, and a few other teachers also came to where the students were.

"Leave the students here. It may be a group, so it is better to have more than one teacher per group. It will also give them some experience on how a proper magic fight happens.". The teacher who arrived nodded, and stayed there. The alarm bells of the academy went on, and the academy went on crazy mode. Liu Feng tried to detect who the person was when Pyrus shouted, "Don't. It is offensive to use mana to sense a person. More powerful people can actually feel you looking at you, and they can counterattack. And, I think I know who arrived."

"You do?"

"Well, remember Primitus' speech on what you get when you become my contractor?"

"That's a dragon?", Liu Feng's eyes shone. But then he thought about it. The presence felt cold to him, and not very fiery like he expected. "Aren't dragons of the fire attribute?"

"Well, according to the agreement I had with them, after they weren't under the Kingdom of Fire anymore, they lost their fire properties. But, since you appeared, it gave them hope. Maybe you can give it to them again."

"Wait, if it is a dragon, then he came for me. If he doesn't find me, there might be a few casualties."

"A few? Huh, find him quickly, or a massacre will be an understatement. Dragons have a quick temper. Let's hope that this one does not."

Liu Feng carefully went to the back of the pack, and then disappeared. He quickly ran towards the place where he felt the presence. He went up to the roof of the dorm buildings, and saw a boy about his age standing there, with a cold look.

"He's not a dragon? Nope wait, he is, but he looks like a human?", Liu Feng asked Pyrus.

Suddenly, the child leapt towards Liu Feng. Liu Feng got ready to fight, but the child knelt, and said respectfully, "Arad greets master. The dragons have waited far too long for the King of fire to reappear in the land of the mortals.I have much to report."

Liu Feng looked at Arad and got an idea. "Wait outside the academy for a while, I will pick you up tomorrow. Or both of us will get in trouble."

Arad nodded, and left immediately, and Liu Feng went to the dorms below him, and to his room. After a few hours, when the bells stopped ringing, he went back to the field to apologize for his sudden disappearance. When Li Zhang saw him, he stepped forward and slapped him. Liu Feng subconsciously blocked it. Li Zhang's eyebrow raised.

"Is this how you behave after you ran like a coward and gave the teachers a scare?"

"Forgive me professor. My cousin was waiting outside the gates, and I was afraid something would happen to him."
