I Have a Dragon in My Body - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Conflict

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The six classes a day did not teach much knowledge. They were all classes meant for practicality.

Because Mark already knew magic like the back of his hand, he quickly completed the teachers’ mission.

During class, Mark walked out of the teacher’s room and into the corridor of the academy to go to the toilet.

At this moment, two men walked towards him.

Under normal circumstances, Mark would not be vigilant against others, because most people would not pay special attention to strangers.

Of the two men, one was tall and thin, while the other was short and fat. Their gazes were very unfriendly.

After approaching him, the two of them collided with him on both sides.

“Where do you think your eyes are? You can crash into two people just by walking!” The tall and thin man cursed as he pointed at Mark.

Originally, Mark wanted to dodge, but the two of them separated, one on the left and one on the right. This made Mark pause, and then the two of them collided.

Hearing their accusations, Mark was stunned. What was going on?

Was this the start of a scam?

He raised his hand and looked at the person who was reprimanding him. Then, he said calmly, “It was the two of you who hit me!”

“I wanted to move aside, but you two hit me from both sides!”

With that, he placed his hand on the sword hilt at his waist, and a huge killing intent filled the surrounding space.

Sensing this killing intent, the two did not panic, but directly used their contract power.

On the left and right, the two swords slashed at Mark.

Because the slash was too clumsy, Mark unsheathed his sword and used a second slash to bounce back their attacks.

Then, he said coldly, “You’d better consider it carefully before attacking!”

“If you draw your sword at me, then think of this as a death match!”

The two were very unconvinced and did not listen to him.

They immediately cast their support spells and used enhancement magic to sharpen their weapons to attack again.

Seeing the incoming slash, in order to not let the onlookers be harmed, Mark dodged with a backflip and jumped from the balcony to the field lawn.

Then, he pointed his middle finger at the two of them.

Seeing this scene, the two became even more furious and jumped off the balcony.

One used magic from afar, and the other fought Mark in a deadlock.

Even so, Mark did not let them succeed easily. He rolled to the side and picked up a few small rocks from the ground and placed them in the bag.

He took out one of them and threw it at the fatty who was casting spells in the distance.

With the help of magic, the rock flew very quickly and struck the side of his face before he could raise his hand.

This hit him right in the chin, causing him to suffer a huge blow. His eyes began to spin, and he could not see anything clearly.

But Mark did not stop there. In a flash, he appeared behind the tall, thin student.

Raising the sword in its scabbard, it struck the back of his head.

Due to the contract beast’s defense, the back of the tall student’s head directly shattered Mark’s scabbard.

“I’ve really underestimated you!”

“Before I draw my sword, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible!”

Hearing Mark’s words, the tall and thin man scoffed and did not take him seriously.

This situation made Mark very distressed, because he could not use all his strength. Otherwise, it was very likely to cause severe injuries in this battle.

“Hahaha! You actually want to use this lousy weapon that’s worth a few gold coins to injure me?”

At this moment, the short and fat student in the distance had already stood up and continued casting.

Seeing that they were so stubborn, Mark’s killing intent rose. His entire demeanor and aura became completely different.

After the surrounding students sensed the abnormality in Mark, they all moved far away.

“Agility, Light Body, Weapon Enhancement, Frenzied Acceleration!” Mark quietly completed the magic enhancements on his body and prepared to deal the final blow to the two of them.

At this moment, a teacher flew over from the sky.

He teleported between the two and blocked Mark’s sword from behind.

After separating them, he said loudly, “I’m the teacher in charge of the order in the academy. Please stop immediately!”

“Otherwise, I’ll not be polite to you anymore!”

“This is a sacred academy, not a place for you to fight!”

The three of them stopped. The teacher in charge quickly investigated the situation.

Then, he said to the three of them, “I understand the general situation!”

“The two of you, stand there. No one is allowed to leave until school is over!”

“If I don’t see the two of you before school ends, you don’t have to come tomorrow!”

After saying that, he turned around and came to Mark’s side. He patted his shoulder and said, “If possible, try to resolve situations amicably!”

“The way to defeat the enemy does not necessarily require killing!”

“This is an academy, not a battlefield. Be careful next time!”

With that, he flew away from Mark.

Turning around to look at his back, Mark silently nodded.

“I’ll be careful next time!”

With that done, Mark turned and left.

The two men who had been standing in the field turned and did not move, but stared at Mark.

They did not realize what danger they were in just now!

As long as Mark slashed at his neck, the tall man would be beheaded.

After returning to the dormitory, Mark looked through the information he had brought back from the academy and took out the mission list that Nelson had sent him.

The first page was about the mission of the sewers in the slums of the Empire.

It was said that many people in the slums saw magical beasts or demonic creatures near the sewers.

Although no one was injured, this happened in the capital, so the Empire’s Garrison Guards quickly issued this mission.

After reading it, Mark decided to start with the first and most recent mission.

Taking out his magic communication device, he dialed the number of the head of the Garrison Guards.

After waiting for a few seconds, a man’s voice sounded, “Hey! Is that Mark?”

“You called at the right time!”

“Someone was killed in the sewers yesterday. Please investigate tonight in the sewers of the slums!”

“No problem. I’ll go over now!” With that, he hung up the call.

In the Garrison Guards, the person in charge of the mission looked at the communication device in his hand in confusion.

He did not expect the other party to hang up without asking for the details!

“He’s not a greenhorn, is he?”

Looking down, he realized that this person was recommended by Nelson Ashborne, the eldest son of a Duke. With his judgment, it was impossible for him to recommend a hotheaded youngster.

“Let’s start with this mission. Let me see your strength. In the future, I can assign you more important missions!”

With that, he turned around and sat down, dealing with other matters at hand.
