Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

Page 105

"Could it be... that he's afraid of you?" Professor Mans looked Xia Mu up and down, his intense gaze sending a chill down Xia Mu's spine.

"Who? Who's afraid of me?"

Xia Mu's confusion this time was feigned.

"Haha, it's nothing. I just find you agreeable. How about becoming my student after this mission is completed?" Professor Mans patted him on the shoulder.

What a great flag!

Xia Mu almost applauded him.

"Your Word of Power is the Eye of the Wind King? Very useful, not bad." Professor Mans's eyes were thoughtful. "However, that shouldn't be enough to make him afraid of you. What other special abilities do you possess..."

"But it doesn't matter. As far as Kassel College is concerned, as long as you are not a dragon and you slay a dragon, then we are partners and no one will pry into your secrets."

He patted Xia Mu on the shoulder, seemingly noticing a fleeting worry in Xia Mu's eyes: "Don't be afraid, become my student, I'll protect you from now on."

You'd better figure out how to survive...

Xia Mu thought to herself.

"Professor, what do we do now?"

Selma looked at the monitor, especially at the depth of nearly 600 meters, and said worriedly, "The depth has dropped by 50%, so the difficulty has at least doubled."

Xia Mu twitched her lips, somewhat unsure whether she had come to help or to make things worse.

"In that case, the diving equipment will be somewhat inadequate..."

Professor Mans stroked the stubble on his chin.

"Then let the equipment department get a submersible!"

Chapter 112 Underwater Training

"A submersible? That's a great idea!"

Xia Mu nodded repeatedly.

"What, you want to go down and have some fun too?" Selma glanced at him.

"I just think this way, it will be safer for Senior Ye Sheng and Senior Ya Ji when they dive," Xia Mu shook his head.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya looked at him, and a kind smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

After so many years of getting along and developing a tacit understanding, the two have even started to resemble each other in their expressions, a phenomenon commonly known as "couple resemblance."

"His Word of Power is the Eye of the Wind King; perhaps it can be used underwater?"

Professor Mans seemed intrigued: "Anyway, it won't be that quick to get the submersible over, so why don't we help you with targeted training?"

"Training? What kind of training?"

Xia Mu blinked.

He was actually looking forward to it. After being tormented by Yun Yun every day, he really wanted to know what level of strength he had now.

Professor Mans chuckled and pointed to the river: "Go in!"

It was obvious that he was now extremely interested in Xia Mu because of what had just happened.

"Practice holding your breath underwater?" Xia Mu asked curiously.

“No, it’s a fight,” Professor Mans pointed at Ye Sheng. “Go down and play with him, but be careful not to break him.”

"Yes."

Ye Sheng nodded, then turned to Xia Mu with a smile and said, "This is something that everyone in our executive department goes through. Professor Mans has high hopes for you, a freshman, by arranging this training for you!"

"I can actually dive a little bit."

Xia Mu blinked.

He really is a bit rich; whether in his past or present life, he's a wealthy man, and diving is a sport he enjoys.

He enjoyed the feeling of being underwater, isolated from all the hustle and bustle, surrounded only by the beautiful underwater world.

“Not all diving is the same. The training we do is to try our best to avoid potential dangers, not for leisure and relaxation,” Ye Sheng said.

Xiaoshuting app

“Then let’s go into the water,” Xia Mu said.

"I want to go play in the water too!"

Erii quietly tugged at his sleeve.

However, everyone here is of mixed race, so everyone can hear clearly.

Xia Mu reached out and touched her forehead, saying helplessly, "It's not a swimming pool where you have to wear a diving suit. Why would you go in the water?"

“I don’t need a wetsuit, a breathing apparatus is enough,” Erii said matter-of-factly.

“The pressure underwater is immense, far beyond what a swimming pool can provide. Even though we are mixed-race, we can only go down to a depth of a little over a hundred meters without a diving suit. Any deeper and we’ll burst from the pressure inside our bodies,” Shudeya explained softly to her.

Erii blinked, looking confused: "Why? I could have been so... umm."

Xia Mu immediately covered her delicate face with his hand, tightly covering her mouth to stop her from continuing.

After all, not everyone has such high physical strength as her…

She's a super, super mixed-race person!

"Well."

Warm breath and moist lips sprayed onto my palm, making it tickle.

Xia Mu quickly withdrew his hand.

Erii looked up at him, her eyes filled with confusion, but she said nothing more.

"Xia Liyi, right? How deep can you go underwater without a diving suit?" Professor Mans brought his stubble-faced mangled face close to her eyes.

Erii instinctively shrank behind Natsuki, only showing half her face to look at him, and said crisply, "I won't tell you."

Mans: "..."

"Ha ha…"

Ye Sheng and the other two couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I didn't expect her to be just like she is on variety shows, completely obedient to Natsuki, no different at all," said Shudeyaki with a smile.

"What are you laughing at!"

Mans glared at them, then looked up at Natsuki and then at Erii, stroking the stubble on his chin as he said, "I've decided, you two will both be my students! Don't try to take them from me!"

In the end, only Xia Mu and Ye Sheng went into the water.

"Pfft!"

This isn't downstream; the river water isn't that murky here.

After entering the water, Xia Mu could see clearly within a range of about ten meters. Although she was wearing a diving suit, her movement underwater was not affected at all. Moreover, due to the enhancement of her hybrid physique, she was even more at ease in the water.

Ye Sheng waved to him from across the room and smiled slightly behind his mask.

The two individuals' helmet channels were not connected, making communication impossible.

A group of people stood on the side of the boat, looking down at two figures that were faintly visible underwater.

"Aki, how long did you last during your first sparring session with Ye Sheng?" Selma asked, hooking her arm around Aki's neck.

Shuto Aki looked on with a look of recollection: "I remember it was about ten minutes."

"Ten minutes?!"

Selma exclaimed, "This guy is so biased!"

"W-What's wrong?" Aki Shutoku blushed inexplicably, her heart beating slightly faster.

Selma glanced at Professor Mans, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Let me tell you, when I first trained, Ye Sheng was my sparring partner. He made me sore all over in just 3 minutes, and then I had to be pulled up."

“Oh…yes, is that so…” Shudeya gently stroked her long hair.

"Yeah! He showed no mercy to girls at all. Back then, he didn't last more than three minutes with anyone, except you!" Selma said indignantly. "I think he had designs on you back then!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Shudeya quickly covered her mouth while stealing a glance at Mans.

Fortunately, Captain Mans stood with his feet on the gunwale, his eyes fixed on the water, looking just like a football commentator:

"I'm coming!"

"Whoa! Ye Sheng attacked from behind! This is a well-timed sneak attack!"

"Oh no! Xia Mu didn't dodge! He didn't! He lacks experience!"

"Good! Ye Sheng accurately locked onto Xia Mu's movements! A textbook strangulation!"

"..."

Erii, who was also lying on the ship's side, her two little hands tightly gripping the railing, glanced at him.

His gaze was so cold and unsettling that Mans instinctively shivered.

"It's only early autumn, why does it feel a bit chilly?"

Mans looked around, completely bewildered.
