Dragon Clan starts from digging the corner of Kassel

Chapter 382 Expectation
"Well, that's all for today."

The icy girl looked down at her left wrist, pressed the call button, and whispered, "It's time to return."

The beeping sound of the message was sent to everyone on the battlefield through the team channel, letting her classmates who were still immersed in their own world know that it was time to withdraw from the battlefield.

"It's over already? It felt so fast."

Lu Mingfei, with his mouth still full, muttered to himself vaguely, with a look of regret in his eyes for some reason.

"That can't be helped."

The young girl Yuan brushed off the cumin powder on her fingertips, thinking that her partner probably wanted to go make some noise in the demon pile after eating to help digest the food.

The handsome young man turned his head and carefully looked at the boy's profile which was gradually becoming stronger.

"It's really hard, Mingfei."

Although the peaceful life in the academy is good, Yuan Zhinu can feel that there is always a "hunger" deep in Lu Mingfei's heart.

Perhaps the awakening heart of the dragon is also longing for conflict. Precisely because he had very little in the past, he longs even more for every moment of galloping side by side with his companions like he is now.

"I want more"——

That is a very, very extravagant wish.

Silently taking a sip of the sake held in her palm, Yuan Zhinu smiled slightly, "Okay, Mingfei, there will be another chance. There's no need to be so anxious. I can also walk with you somewhere else after this is over."

For him, who has already let go, it is enough for him to continue to stay with his companions.

"Oh, great!" Lu Mingfei raised his hands, a smile without a trace of gloom on his face: "As expected, you are the best, little girl!"

Chu Zihang drank the remaining orange-yellow liquid in the unscrewed serum bottle, then slowly swallowed the last bite of meat in his mouth and said, "Let's clean up."

Although he didn't like to speak much, he probably liked the feeling of being with the two of them like this.

So the three men in the dormitory began to slowly clean up the grill and the leftover skewers.

Lu Mingfei left a few skewers of barbecue to bring to Ling, and Chu Zihang also grabbed a handful to give to Caesar later. The Japanese girl who was best at reading the air did not forget Chen Motong.

All in all, it looked like a happy occasion.

After all, they are students who come here for "exchange study". Since the college is willing to accept Cassel's application, and coupled with some previous relationships, these "local students" are also willing to take care of Caesar and Chen Motong.

"Caesar! He's back!"

Chu Zihang lit up the terminal and shouted to his old acquaintance who was still pouring firepower into the sea of ​​monsters: "Return!"

The shouts of his old rival in the teammate channel finally brought Caesar back to his senses from his immersion in the fight.

Caesar reached out and fired a few shots at a few stubborn mechanical bugs, then exhaled a hot breath heavily.

"Is it time to go back?"

His golden eyes slowly turned back to their original gorgeous sea blue color as he looked exhausted. He took two deep breaths, trying to empty his mind that was filled with thoughts of war, and seek the most fundamental "rationality" of a human being.

Restraint, you must restrain yourself.

Killing and destruction will activate the dragon blood in the hybrids, because dragons are monsters that crave war, but Caesar has decided to abandon this hopeless path.

Therefore, he must be more rational and calm than anyone else...

In this way, one can overcome one's innate bloodline.

"Clear your mind first." Caesar stomped his foot, and the thrusters on his left shoulder extended outward, spewing a sky-blue flame. A figure suddenly soared into the air, rapidly traversing the air in a zigzag pattern, pulling towards the dark and gloomy sky.

The gust of wind was cut by the defensive barrier and blew on the young man's face. The G-force exerted on his body by the instantaneous acceleration made Caesar's expression slightly distorted.

But his expression quickly became cheerful again.

The feeling of flying freely at high altitude reminded him of the feeling he had when he was traveling alone on the blue ocean.

This land is indeed a good place for them to do whatever they want, but no one can get unlimited fun from blindly fighting various monsters except for those true battle maniacs.

"Rest when it's time to rest—ha, but that's only true for Nono and me."

Caesar looked down at the barren land and the mountain of monster corpses beneath his feet. He saw a handsome young man with a smile on his face waving at him at the top of the mountain, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"I'm really outshined by them."

He knew that several people from Faos had taken good care of him, but it was also because of this that he realized that he was still far from enough.

When the three men in the male dormitory got tired of fighting, they started to barbecue on the spot, just like they were on a spring outing on the battlefield.

Strength beyond ordinary people's imagination has always been the best guarantee for the three of them to be so calm.

"...I won't stay behind you for too long."

More nozzles extended from the structural armor behind him. He turned his posture, opened his arms as if to embrace everything, and fell to the ground resolutely and decisively.

to the opposite……

Zero turned his head to look at the red-haired woman beside him who was silently pulling the trigger, not even noticing that her fingers were bleeding from the friction of the metal.

"That's enough," she cried. "Give yourself some healing."

Chen Motong then realized that she had developed many small wounds on her body. She frowned, whispered a thank you, and took out medicine and bandages from her medical kit, quickly and skillfully treating her wounds.

Zero saw her performance and remained speechless.

By ordinary people's standards, Chen Motong's performance could be considered excellent, but she rejected Faos's kindness for the second time, which was a bit too ungrateful to Zero.

On the contrary, she was very satisfied with Caesar's performance.

"I'm not bad, am I?"

Caesar returned from the sky, stretching out his arms and showing a sunny smile in front of the three men in the dormitory.

Lu Mingfei twisted his lips and moved closer to him. He nudged the blond's arm and teased, "Brother Caesar, you've taken so many drugs. Can you still eat now?"

Taking the barbecued meat of an unknown creature from Chu Zihang's hand, Caesar took a bold bite without hesitation. "I don't know how much time I have left, but when I have time, I'll treat you to a few good meals at a Michelin restaurant."

The juicy skewers are accompanied by simple spices, and as you chew them, a burst of impactful flavor immediately bursts into your mouth.

The cooking was not so even, and the spices were sprinkled a little too much...but Caesar felt that these skewers of barbecue were more delicious than any high-end restaurant he had ever eaten at.

"After this is over, you can come with us to the Far East," Genji said at the right moment. "We're also conducting experimental social reforms there... I think President Caesar would be interested in the situation there."

"Okay, definitely!"

Caesar agreed without hesitation, his brows lit up, and the slight fatigue he had just felt when he landed disappeared.

A pale, alchemical light emanated from Chu Zihang's surroundings as he silently disassembled the remaining equipment and debris beneath them. He carefully checked his own situation and silently calculated the movements of the sea of ​​mechanical insects Caesar had left behind before turning and exchanging a glance with Zero.

——Confirmed, you can return.

"They really get along well."

Ling looked at the four people from a distance, with a curve of a few pixels at the corner of his mouth.

In the task record assigned to her within the academy, she silently gave Caesar a high score of nine for this action as a sign of encouragement.

Keep going, young man... No, 'President'.

she thought.

Everything in this world is like a Möbius strip, drawing everything in and making everything go back and forth. I have seen too many flowers blooming and falling in my life.

In the Dragon King's view, humans were born with original sin - Zero felt that perhaps this idea was indeed true.

However, the mistakes made by humans should be corrected by humans themselves.

Can Caesar become the leader who can change humanity?

Perhaps he noticed her observation, or perhaps it was some kind of keen intuition?

With one hand hooking around Lu Mingfei's shoulder, he raised his wheat juice with the other hand and clinked glasses with Yuan Zhinu.

Caesar's gaze suddenly crossed the distance between the mountain of corpses and the desolate wasteland, and looked at the petite girl with her hands behind her back... and Chen Motong who was pursing her lips and lowering her head beside her.

"I hope you can do it."

This unspoken trust and "expectation" for Zero... Caesar looked up and deeply engraved the image of her back as she turned around and began to build the portal into his memory.

It was as if he wanted to grasp all the pain in his palm.

Throwing down the empty aluminum can, he clenched his fists tightly.

"Thank you."

"The real power is now in my hands."

This power of hope, gained through crossing the wilderness of pain... he would never give it up.

"Let's go!" He turned to look at the people on his left and right, and shouted with a smile, "Nono and Ling are still waiting for us! Let's go back!"

"Hey, haven't you been procrastinating?" Lu Mingfei leaned the skewers left for Ling on his left arm. "Brother Caesar, please heat them up. Thanks!"

"Microwave heating? Let me check the manual. It seems the weapon actually has this function..."

The boys jumped off the pile of corpses side by side, arm in arm, chatting about all sorts of things with a smile on their faces, but at the same time, they walked towards the girls in tacit understanding.

The men's backs were surrounded by the sun's radiance, pushed by the flowing light to go further and further away with perseverance and tenacity;

But it seemed to cast a shadow that covered the sky and the earth, vaguely covering the red-haired woman with trembling lips beside Zero.

In a trance, the hallucinatory laughter sounded again in Chen Motong's heart.

Not far from her, Lu Mingfei, Yuan Zhinu, and Ling were unable to detect it... but Chen Motong was sure that she could hear it.

That ringing in my ears...

It was like a mockery of another self.

　I finally finished writing it. After updating, I went to sleep and will get up to go to work later.
