Ancient Dragon in Arknights

There are many other features that are not visible to the naked eye, such as a powerful digestive ability, a heightened sense of smell and hearing, improved reaction speed and muscle strength, and of course, the most important of all is the berserk mode, which is much more potent than adrenaline!

In short, Neltharion has perfectly absorbed the dragon heritage of the Odogaron.

He did not trigger that dream space again in the past ten years, probably because his body could not withstand more power before it was fully developed. He had a premonition that it wouldn't be long before the next dragon attacked.

Chapter Two: Two Classmates

Victoria Londinim Entrance No. 66

"Identity documents and entry permits are all prepared in advance. People with unclear identities are not allowed to enter the city. If someone forces their way in, the consequences will be very serious."

A city guard shouted at the entrance to the city that Colombian and Victorian languages ​​are of the same origin, and the differences between them are mostly in their accents; this brought great convenience to Nesario's study abroad life, at least he did not have to bother to learn another foreign language, although he already knew quite a few foreign languages.

"Hello, sir, please show your identification and entry permit."

"Hello, I am a foreigner. The documents you provide may be slightly different."

"It's okay, we can still process and authenticate it."

"Please look."

Nezario's identity documents and passport were in perfect order; he had no criminal record in Colombia; and Victoria's entry permit was processed at the Victoria Embassy in Colombia.

The city guards simply verified and took a photo before letting Nesario pass.

There wasn't even any bribery or extortion. Well, that makes sense, after all, this is Lontinim, the heart of Victoria. If the heart of a country is corrupt, then that country is not far from its demise.

"Hmm—the decision to arrive a week early to avoid being late doesn't seem like a good idea."

Cross-border travel in Terra is troublesome. Only seasoned messengers can be punctual, and of course, powerful security companies can do the same. For ordinary people, setting off early is the best option.

Natural disasters, riots, and the migration of people from other cities—a variety of situations can render travel plans unnecessary.

"First, I'll go to the school to inquire, and then I'll find a messenger to write a letter to my sister."

Like many mobile cities, Londinium is divided into multiple city blocks, each with its own characteristics, which facilitates resource concentration and management.

Based on the map that Nesario has obtained so far, the Highbury District is an industrial area where many industrial products, materials, and weapons are produced. Of course, to prevent spies or dangerous individuals, entry and exit are restricted.

The Octree district, also known as the "Central District," is the most important area of ​​Londinium. Key facilities such as the Parliament, the Royal Palace, and the Cathedral are located in this area, and ordinary people and foreigners are naturally not allowed to enter.

Sadion District: The most concentrated area of ​​civilians, where you can find the most authentic local life. Of course, there are also gangs, infected people, and so on.

Where is the Royal Guard Academy?

After searching the map several times, Nesario finally found the location of the Royal Guard Academy—strictly speaking, it does not belong to any particular plot, as it is located on the intersection of the three plots mentioned above. The two institutions, "Royal Guard Academy" and "Royal National University," were built in that small area.

This location is undeniably excellent, with convenient access to all directions, making everything easy to do.

"Londinium truly lives up to its reputation as the pinnacle of Victorian industrial technology. This kind of grandeur is rarely seen even in Colombia."

Nesario was traveling rapidly along the city railway, everything outside the window rushing past, the only constant being the distant city walls surrounding Londinium—massive walls made entirely of steel, gleaming with metallic luster, and topped with enormous defensive cannons.

'Compared to the most powerful dragons, which one is superior?'

Nesario was unable to make comparisons, mainly because he lacked any points of reference; he had never witnessed the power of either of them.

The train slowly came to a stop, and Nesario chose to get off.

He walked toward the college, where there was a wide road at the main entrance, where only three people could be seen at that moment.

Nesario was at the very back of the line. In front of him was a woman. From behind, all that could be seen were her long, flowing golden hair and dark green coat. Judging from the luggage and casual clothes she was carrying, she seemed to be a freshman as well. Judging from the golden ears on her head and the wolf tail hanging down between her legs, she was a Lupo girl.

Further ahead was another woman with her dark blue hair tied up. She wore a thin, dark blue coat, and her figure was as slender as her clothes, but the aura she exuded was not to be underestimated.

"A dragon? Or a dragon from the Yan Kingdom."

Nesario's observation skills were very sharp. The girl at the front had sharp horns on her head, but those horns were different from those of the Sarkaz, Kalipni, and Vaiva, and were more similar to those of Elafia. But this was not enough to determine her identity. What was really striking was her tail, which was covered with shimmering blue scales and had a wisp of mane at the end. Without a doubt, she was a "dragon" from the Great Yan.

"It looks like my college life is going to be quite interesting."

There are definitely more than just one or two such special individuals, and when they get together, it's sure to be a lot of fun.

Nesario eagerly awaited the day a week from now. In fact, he didn't realize that he was also an outcast among that group of special guys.

"Excuse me, is this the registration area for new students?"

Nesario successfully entered the college using his admission certificate and then followed the signs to the new student registration area.

When he entered, the two girls who had gone ahead were already waiting there for a long time.

Two pairs of observant gazes fell on him at the same time—he hadn't been secretly watching on the street, but openly; both of them were quite strong and naturally felt their gazes.

This is merely a polite observation.

"Hello, both of you."

Hello. x2

"It seems we're classmates. My name is Nesario, and I'm from Colombia. May I ask who you are...?"

Nesario thought he should say hello. He didn't play any tricks, and everything he said was true—all of which could be verified later through the roster.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Rita, I'm from Victoria."

Miss Rupert, with her golden hair, had a pair of bright green eyes. She wore a headband that matched her eye color, and her fair face was filled with a businesslike calm.

"Hello, Chen Huijie, a citizen of Yan country."

The blue dragon lady has the same red eyes as Neltharion, and her expression is even colder than Miss Lupo's. She only gives the most basic response to Neltharion's overtures.

"Excuse me, what are the next steps for enrollment? I don't know anything about it yet."

"Actually, we didn't know either. There are no teachers here. We are waiting."

"That's it..."

Nesario found a seat and sat down, keeping a certain distance from the two, so the three of them formed a three-way standoff.

Trying to get closer to a woman with a cool and aloof personality right away can be very troublesome. The normal approach is to maintain an appropriate distance, which is better for both parties. If you force yourself to get closer, you'll probably just be labeled as frivolous.

If you don't have great emotional intelligence and communication skills during this process, and it ends up being awkward, congratulations—even the God of Love can't save you.

Chapter 3 Leek Planting and Harvesting

"The three of you were among the first to arrive at the school. However, the preparations for the first year have already been completed, so you're lucky; at least you don't have to worry about accommodation fees."

A teacher in military uniform arrived late. Nesario and the others arrived at school a week early, which was outside the designated time, but it didn't matter.

The three handed in their admission certificates. Rita's admission was different from the other two, which was probably a subtle difference between foreigners and locals.

With all the procedures and information completed, the three of them were officially enrolled in the Royal Guard College of Victoria.

"The materials I just sent you contain a map of the college. Please move into your assigned dorm rooms. You are free to move around before the official start of the semester. However, you are not allowed to enter important areas of the college without prior permission."

"Is it still possible to leave the school? This is my first time in Lentinium, and I'm very curious about the city."

The teacher continued reading to himself, as if he were reciting something, while Nesario chose to interrupt; although he could stay at school, it was too boring, wasn't it?

"Thank you."

The three left one after another, but the teacher, who was sitting alone in the office, picked up their files again and looked at them.

"Wow... these three are no ordinary people. Rita Scamanderos, someone from that family actually came to this school? Nesario, a Colombian, achieved top grades in all subjects in Colombia and rejected admission from Trimont University... Chen Huijie, is that guy from Lungmen..."

As teachers, especially those in military academies, we are subject to many rules and regulations.

Students who can get into this school are either rich or powerful, and if you want to do anything extra, you often have to consider the power behind the other party; as for those "social skills"... sorry, they don't work in military academies.

Therefore, his greatest pleasure was watching these students compete and fight.

In each episode, a few monsters will appear, and the greatest fun is watching those monsters cause trouble.

Of those three, only Vayvan was relatively mediocre; the other two were quite formidable, especially Rita—her surname would cause trouble in Victoria.

Nesario naturally couldn't hear the teacher's mutterings, and the three of them kept a certain distance as they walked towards their dormitory.

At a fork in the road, the man and woman parted ways, and Nesario became a person again.

"Dormitory 201, Room 1? The dorms at the Royal Guard Academy shouldn't be too bad..."

Nesario recalled some interesting things that he had "experienced"—a dormitory with 12 people living in conditions that probably violated the Geneva Convention. The only thing worth celebrating was that it had air conditioning, otherwise he really didn't know how he could have endured it.

As it turns out, Nesario was overthinking things.

The Royal Guard Academy is a renowned and excellent military academy on the continent of Terra. However, attending a military academy doesn't mean you have to suffer in every aspect of life.

On the contrary, because most of the students are young masters and ladies from aristocratic families, the school has a very luxurious environment.

The furniture is all brand new and handcrafted; the bedding and mattresses feel incredibly smooth to the touch, seemingly made of very high-end fabric; all the appliances are also provided, and they are all the latest and most expensive models.

Such treatment comes at the cost of high tuition fees and stringent admission requirements. The tuition fee for each term here is approximately 2 Victoria gold coins; of course, if you are outstanding enough, the tuition fee can be waived.

Incidentally, Nesario's tuition was waived; he was a prodigy after all, and defeating those gilded brats would be a piece of cake for him.

Although he could easily afford the tuition with his own savings, money doesn't grow on trees, so every little bit saved counts.

The last factor affecting Nesario's quality of life was his roommate—the dormitory consisted of a living room and two bedrooms, meaning that in addition to Nesario, there was another student living there.

This guy's character will greatly affect Nesario's quality of life.

If the other party is a typical mentally challenged aristocratic young master... ugh—just thinking about it makes me nauseous.

Nesario offered a heartfelt prayer—hoping that the Royal Guard Academy would be stricter and at least not let in any real idiots.

"Oh! Right, I also need to write a letter to my sister."

Nesario took out a pen and paper. The letter detailed his arrival in Lontinim and his enrollment in the Royal Guard Academy of Victoria. As for his future plans... Nesario himself had no idea.

While some intelligence could still be gathered about the situation in Colombia, Victoria was completely unfamiliar territory for the two siblings. It seemed that Nesario's next move would be to proceed cautiously, taking things one step at a time.

"I will return to Colombia immediately after I finish my studies."

Well, putting everything else aside, let's at least make a promise: if his sister needs help, Nesario will naturally step up without hesitation.

After settling his luggage, Nesario decided to leave the academy to take a stroll.

The campus is beautifully landscaped, clearly designed by a master landscape architect. It doesn't look like a military academy at all; it looks more like a prime real estate area.

Nesario left through the main gate. After enrollment, each student would have their own student ID, which served as proof of entry and exit.
