The news spread like wildfire! Visitors arriving were rushing towards the scene and those who were already at the field watching the Event were locked in for an exciting fight! This was an unexpected scenario that had reached many ears, including the Staff, Student Body and the Security Team. At the Portal Entrance, Elsie had noticed the sudden shift in the air. Like the visitors were rushing towards a particular spot, or a brewing excitement that lingered with their expressions. She noticed their smiles, giggles and the conversations they had with one another but she couldn't make clear of it. She had been resting on the same spot, her attention drifting from one visitor to another until one of her team members came rushing up to her. "Elsie! Elsie!" He called out. "Wha–What's wrong, why are you running around, Yuiz?" She asked. Yuiz panted for a moment, his gaze etched with uncertainty, confusion and a bit of shock. "Your team....your team, seems to be facing a Dragon..." Elsie tilted her head, confusion laced in her expression as well. Whatever information he had tried to relay to her, she had not received completely, or well at all. "What do you mean, a dragon?" Just then, Miranda walked up to them, pulling on Yuiz's ear at that moment with a stern expression on her face. "You should be at your post-Yuiz!" She muttered, her annoyance evident. The young boy rubbed his ears, glaring at her in protest as he walked back to his post. Miranda was his senior, and the team held a certain respect for her that made them hardly protest at her harsh treatment on certain occasions. "What was that about?" Elsie asked, her curiosity evident. Miranda sighed, scratching the back of her head. "Well, I'm sure the Student Body is on it already so you don't need to worry yourself about it." "Worry myself about what?" Elsie repeated, her question pressing for answers. Miranda sighed yet again. "A dragon was summoned during the Hunt, and it's got its eyes set on Team Gold." Elsie's gaze flicked open for a moment but then narrowed before returning to its normal condition. "Oh, it's just a dragon." She muttered, changing her focus back to the incoming visitors. Miranda shifted slightly, her confusion palpable. "I said it was a dragon, a real dragon. A lesser one but nonetheless, these are beasts that can only be defeated by those in the level 100s and not even all of them can do that." "Well, Raph is an exemption.." A smirk formed on Elsie's lips. "A lesser dragon can't defeat my hubby. Period." Miranda shifted slightly, her confusion palpable. She had attempted to ease her worry, but instead, hers had been eased. It was surprising to find her so confident in Raph's survival while many of the students didn't. She turned away, turning her attention to the Portal Gate as a thought crossed her mind. 'so, are his sisters worried or not?' ***** News had reached the student body of course, and they had all set out to watch the event unfold. Or at least some of them. This included Rebecca and Tiffany. Phestus had gone to see the Headmaster as this was an event that had gone out of hand. Tiffany and Rebecca were walking along the roofed walkway along the Lecture Theaters, their attention drawn to the en masse of people rushing to Class One. "Oh, this is a mess, definitely. I can't believe the Headmaster let someone easily influenced by his emotions be in charge of the Control Room." Tiffany muttered as a student brushed past her. He stopped midstep, turned towards them, bowed as he apologized and resumed his hasty steps to the Class One Event. "The Headmaster makes mistakes too. It is easy to leave things for your subordinates when one can do it themselves." "But he's not part of the System Uprisers so his subordinate chose wrong?" Rebecca shrugged. "Maybe they did." She replied. Soon they had reached their destination, and the scene startled them to a halt. Visitors and students were present from the start of the Lecture theatre to the field which was situated behind it. More screens had popped up in the air, giving a better watching view for the enlarged number of people that had come to see it. The number of people seemed unnatural and perhaps would be none as the first of its kind, as this drew the interest of almost every person present within the Academy. Tiffany whistled, her attention slowly drifting to the screen. "Seems like your brother is gonna get famous today." Rebecca scoffed in reply, a small frown forming on her face. "It was only a matter of time." Tiffany's gaze narrowed her reply, surprise laced in her expression as she turned to get a better view of Rebecca. She studied her expression and then looked away. 'As usual, I can't tell what she's thinking.' People often showcased their thoughts through their emotions and expressions. Rebecca wasn't one of those people, keeping herself and her thoughts behind a constant mask of indifference. It was one of the few things that labelled her different from her other sisters, including her brother. At the moment, her thoughts reeled in as they watched the fight unfold. 'A dragon this time...last time it was a Mountain Baby. I'm not surprised but he should at least come back alive.' Unlike her mask, her heart revealed what she truly felt, and the worry was palpable within. Only a few people could observe what one felt inwardly, and sadly, Tiffany wasn't one of those people. In the screen, two dots were seen flying through the air, a gust of aura and dark mana enveloping their bodies as they slammed into the dragon's skins. The Dragon was seen on top of a large Volcano, the entirety of the Dragon taking half the height and diameter of the whole Volcano. A cry of excitement reached the skies from the Crowd as they watched an explosion of power and energy exude from the impact. 'What's going through that boy's head?' Rebecca wondered her focus entirely on Raph. In the Territorial Space, Raph and Sophie jumped off its body in unison, a gust of ice surrounding Raph's legs as he landed on the heated surface of the Volcano. Sophie landed next to him, her boots clouded in a gust of Dark mana. They had the same thought as the Dragon's condescending gaze slowly landed on them. 'It's skin is so tough!' The Dragon roared, its arms swinging in the air as it slammed against the spot where they once were, the two figures running across the top of the Volcano. Rocks split, and Lava exploded from the impact as it rushed down the Volcano while the mighty figure glanced around in search of the figures. Raph glanced at her, and she at him, a subtle message passing between them as Raph suddenly turned directions. He charged forward, his sword stretched out towards the Dragon. "Aura Field Of Vision!" A smirk grew across his face. 'ice vs fire! Now this is an event worth testing my abilities.' "Negative Zero!" His body warped in the air as a sudden cold descended on the Volcano. His body was enveloped in a rush of aura as ice spread down to the rock and lava, spreading and turning the hot liquid fire into cool ice. It stretched towards the Dragon as Raph crashed into its chest, its sword plunged into its skin as ice crept onto the hardened scales of the Beast. It screamed, not out of pain but out of annoyance, its angry gaze landing on Raph as it attempted to slam its body against the Volcano. Pillars of ice and snow emerged from the ground, the air dropping in temperature at a rapid pace as it slammed against the Dragon, pulling its figure up into the air. This was nothing to it, as it easily slammed the pillars of ice and snow. Its maw widened open as a blast of flames emerged and struck the air, increasing the temperature to what it once was. At that moment, from the skies, a figure cladded in lilac landed on the snout of the Dragon, an explosion of sound and energy occurring on impact. The force caused the Dragon's snout to shut and pushed its head to the ground as it slammed against the frozen lava. Sophie appeared over it, dark mana rushing over her body and weapon as she spun the chain around and rushed away from its head. The dragon forcefully jerked its head at the same time she jumped away from it, Raph quickly appearing at the side, his sword stretched upwards in the sky. "Chapter 9! ARROGANT SURGE!" His aura quaked as he swung his arm down, an unparalleled amount of invisible force falling down with it as it slammed against the Dragon's head. A throbbing echo and implosion of sound and energy occur on impact. Blue energy descended on top of the Dragon's head, an invisible force pulling it down while the atmosphere warped, mixtures of colours forming from the impact. It was like a rainbow of doom, an unparalleled force sent to crush its foe and it was doing a good job at it. The Dragon cried out, its rage evident as it pulled its head up, its maw widened as a gust of flames blasted out at Raph in fury. Raph quickly jumped out of the way, landing on the frozen lava as he ran across the top of the Volcano, the incoming blast of flames making its way towards him. This would have been a difficult fight if he were alone, but someone who he had suspected to be on equal footing with him was fighting next to him. And she had proven herself on many occasions. She appeared with the wind, her scythe tearing into the side of the opened mouth of the Drake, her chain taunt as she fell to the sides of the Volcano with a loud thud. Its flesh at the corner of its lips was bound to be soft as no evident scales were found there. A wicked grin plastered on her face as she lodged her foot to the roughed structure of the Volcano, pulling the chain and the head of the Dragon with it. "Come over here!"
