Knock Knock
Anorax opened the door. Hilosura unceremoniously entered. He rubbed his eyes and looked at her curiously.
She was dressed in a black transparent nightgown. Her nipples were pressed on the cloth fabric. Her breasts were big which was normal for a woman her age.
"We shall be leaving today, the journey will take us sometime to reach the Academy. I hope your ready to go." She said looking at him. She acted naturally as if nothing was wrong here.
"I am ever 'prepared'. Just waiting for your word and we get going." He replied heading for his bed. He laid down.
"Come and we go. Mum is waiting for you in her room." She said standing up.
He followed her towards the Empress' chambers. The castle was very big. They passed by various maids going about their work.
His presence surprised them but they didn't voice out anything.
Knock Knock
"Come in~."
"...?"
The duo entered a spacious room. An intoxicating mature feminine scent hit him. His gaze was drawn towards an alluring mature woman on the bed.
She was very beautiful. Dressed in a nightgown similar to that of her daughter.
"Oh so you have finally brought your boyfriend to me~." Tiamat said teasingly.
"Mum!" She couldn't help but exclaim.
"Don't worry am just curious that all."
Hilosura's brows furrowed. This was not what they came here for, right.
"Tsk. Your no fun." She turned her eyes towards the silver haired who had been silent.
"I heard you want to enter the Academy. She already told you everything. Are you ready to start as a common student?" She asked. Her gaze fixed on him.
"As long as I join, that's none of my concern. I will rise eventually however long it takes." He said with unwavering confidence.
She looked at him silently for sometime, nodding she threw him a beautiful green jade.
He skillfully caught it. He already knew what it was.
"Make sure to honour its significance and make sure not to cause me trouble if necessary. Give us a second Hilosura." She said.
"Am not going anywhere. If you want to do something do it here with me." She said firmly.
"Okay." Tiamat chuckled.
"Have you met Gods before?" She asked curiously.
"Quite a few not many of them. Their very dangerous for my wellbeing." If anything he didn't want cross paths with any.
"Oh~ why so? Gods are not that bad right."
"You will have to see it for yourself to decide."
"So you have crossed paths with those 'enigmatic' figures." Hilosura was surprised.
'Ignorance is a bliss.' She looked at her daughter.
"You will be leaving today. Now go away." She dismissed them.
They parted ways to their rooms. He dressed in a proper outfit.
A maid led him out. He spotted the two Princesses and the Empress on a round. They exchanged greetings.
Food was served. A strong sweet aroma filled the room. He looked at the food in surprise.
There was high tier beast meat. Its aroma making his mouth watery.
The women noticed this and laughted. It was like he was eyeing his favourite candy.
"What?" He asked but they ignored him and dug in.
The women being nobles were quite reserved but...
They eyed him eat as if his life depended on it. He never tasted anything other than the beast meat.
This pleased the Empress more than anything. She ordered the maids for more.
Being Dragons, they naturally ate alot more than other races. By the time he was finished, all the plates on the table were empty.
"I guess I missed a good meal in days. Hehe.." He chuckled at himself touching his stomach which didn't budge however much he ate.

They entered a black customised limousin. The women were dressed in striking one piece dresses.
The trio was escorted by three more cars. The Empress has seen them off. They didn't know when she would appear at the Academy.
The cars were moving fast but not so fast. Medusa had returned and was now in his shadow space or dimension whatever they called it.
Lisaria was guiding her on how to use Primordial energy easily. The potency of the energy made it lethal and volatile to use.
He had trouble utilising his Time element. His current progress left him greatly dissatisfied.
"Seems your disturbed by something." Niphilia said opening her eyes, her back against the sofa. The car was customised to their desire, it came as no surprise that they enjoyed such privileges.
"Yeah, am curious about you."
"Oh~ In which way." She asked with a smile.
"Your powers to be exact, my knowledge about Angels is quite limited." He said truthfully.
She looked at him, her eyes examining him closely. It wasn't weird to know or ask about one's powers but she wondered why.
"Am a duo element user, Light and Holy element to be exact. But, lets just say am kind of special in some way. Am both a healer and combatant."
"That's really a given, being a cockroach on the battlefield." He laughed slightly remembering some of his adventures.
"It's kind of annoying to the enemy. You become kind of undead feeling them with despair." She giggled at the idea.
"Am also a duo element user 'now', Lightning and Fire elements. Nothing special." He said taking a deep breath.
"Oh~ That's quite a surprise." A surprised voice chimed in. "Well, am a duo element weirder, Fire and... Death."
Anorax didn't react at first as everything seemed normal but..
'Death element. That deadly and troublesome element.'
"That's completely unexpected. I never thought I was with a Noble Death Dragon all along."
Hearing his reply, they chuckled. To them it was completely normal.
But he who knew how terrifying that Dragon is shook his head, was this a coincidence.
The Academy was located at the border of the Dragon Empire. The Empire being too big, it took them hours to reach a teleportation station. It was near the massive hovering Island.
Everything was done swiftly including paperwork. Everyone looked at them in reverence and admiration.
They walked towards the teleportation chambers.
They were led into a large room. It had strange runes on the ground.
"Ready!." An hoarse voice boomed. He was an old man in charge of over seeing the process.
"3... 2.. 1. Go."
A blinding light filled the room. Their bodies felt light. Dense mana enveloped them. They disappeared.

XEPHILA VONIAC ACADEMY.
The dream and home of many. It was situated on a massive Island hovering hundreds of meters above Urax.
In one of the teleportation chambers, a blinding light filled the room.
The trio appeared.
"It's kind of spatial warping though entirely different." Anorax muttered walling out with them.
"You are welcome to Xephila Voniac Academy. I will be your guide, you call me Robert." The man said with an amiable smile.
He led them out. The teleportation chambers were on in a big building each having complex runes on the ground.
The energy used to run the teleportation circles was too much.
The Old man, Robert, walked unhurried.
The was could only be described in one word: magnificent.
The tall buildings pierced through the sky.
He could feel the enriched energy in the air. Compared to the outside world, this was heaven to cultivators.
They could have multiple breakthroughs without issue.
Since each had a jade slip, Robert had his work simplified. They didn't require much paper work.
They entered a building which looked like a temple. They passed through hallways.
In a room, a crystal ball was suspended above what looked like an alter.
"You have already guessed, right. It aids in awakening or shows your elements." He said approaching the crystal.
Niphilia stepped forward. She placed her hands on the crystal.
A powerful bright light illuminated the room forcing them to close their eyes.
"Oh, what a powerf-"
Another powerful golden light washed them. It was soothing and relaxing.
"Huh..? Your elements a the same but also different." The old man, Robert said looking at the crystal carefully.
She stepped back. Hilosura touched the crystal.
A powerful red light made the temperature rise in the room.
"Seems you weren't given Jades for nothing." An amused expression adorned his face.
But...
An ominous aura descended in the room making their Hearst skip a beat.
The crystal was pitch black. It affected the surrounding gravely.
She stopped and stepped back. She was surprised. Her element had evolved higher than what she remembered. Thanks to the essence and the God blood.
[Infuse as little energy as possible in the crystal, don't say I didn't warn you.]
He stepped forward. He infused little mana, nothing happened. Then divine energy, nothing happened. He increased the output...
A powerful red light, far stronger and incredibly hot filled the room which caught them but surprise. It didn't stop there. The light grew more intense and...
