Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

Selma, leaning against the door, hands on her hips in anger, exclaimed, "Your video has been leaked! It's all over the internet now! Isn't this a big deal?!"

"Is this for real?" Xia Mu's eyes lit up.

Selma: "..."

Then, Xia Mu saw the leaked video on his phone.

It wasn't long, only five minutes in total, covering the entire process from him facing the dragon alone, to Erii's cooperation, to the final sword strike that slayed the dragon.

"It's so blurry, was it taken by satellite?" Xia Mu touched his cheek. "Apart from a few East Asian countries, people in other places probably have face blindness and wouldn't recognize me at all... What a pity."

"pity?"

Selma, hands on her hips and glaring, said, "Do you know that Professor Mance is frantic right now, trying to find the source everywhere, but he can't find the culprit! If we can't find the other party, we can't force him to deny it!"

"What are you worried about? There are people in the academy who can handle this kind of thing!" Xia Mu said nonchalantly.

"Who is it?" Selma asked curiously.

"Of course it's Finn..."

Xia Mu stopped mid-sentence.

Wait a minute, Fingel is a master at washing coal briquettes, but what he wants isn't some denial or clarification.

"It's not a big deal, there's no need to make a fuss. The public will fill in the blanks themselves. Let the academy explain to the ordinary people and the higher-ups that it's just a movie shoot!"

Selma's eyes lit up: "That's right! You guys are celebrities! Let Hollywood tailor-make a superhero movie for you, and the problem will be solved!"

"Uh, Hollywood?"

Xia Mu felt a sense of unexpected joy. How could she forget that the tentacles of a hybrid were beyond the imagination of ordinary people? And with the influence of Kassel College, or rather the Camarilla, becoming a global superstar would be a piece of cake.

"Let's go! Call the principal! Tell him I want to be a global superstar!"

Selma couldn't understand Xia Mu's excitement at all.

"The principal wants you to slay dragons, not become a star."

“These two things don’t conflict. In the future, whatever I do that gets filmed can be explained as filming! I’m doing this to stay out of the way, okay?” Xia Mu argued emphatically.

He felt as if a hundred million popularity points were beckoning to him.

"Xia Mu, do you want the academy to support you in becoming a global star?"

Ten minutes later, Professor Mans connected with Principal Angers.

"Yes, Principal, in order to better carry out the dragon-slaying mission, and to better disguise ourselves so that ordinary people don't discover the truth about the dragon race, it's very important to have someone like me, as a spokesperson, taking the lead."

Xia Mu spoke with an air of righteous indignation, as if becoming a star was solely for the sake of the academy and slaying the dragon.

"The benefits are indeed significant, but to invest in a film, especially a Hollywood-level one, requires at least $1 million."

Principal Angers smiled and said, "The college can afford it, but it doesn't need to. You understand?"

Xia Mu understood immediately: "Principal, just say what you need."

“Hey, how about slaying a dragon king?” Angers said casually, as if he were talking about slaying some random cat or dog rather than a dragon king.

“Principal, have you forgotten that the Snake Clan is also quite wealthy?” Xia Mu asked calmly.

[Fourth Main Quest: Defeat the King of Bronze and Fire.]

[Task Reward: 500 million popularity points.]

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow, but didn't seem very excited.

Because of slaying the Dragon King, it feels like I can gain so much popularity points on my own.

What exactly is going on with this system? And what did Xia Mi mean by that?

He's starting to have doubts now.

“Although the Snake Clan is wealthy, you don’t want to go back and rely on them,” Principal Angers said calmly. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to cooperate with Chu Zihang and eventually come to Kassel College.”

“A $1 million investment in a Hollywood film isn’t worth risking my life for,” Xia Mu said calmly.

Angers chuckled: "Don't worry, I have a complete plan and a preferred candidate to slay the dragon. It just seems safer to have you. Don't worry, I'm not asking you to kill the dragon king alone. After all, we've never actually killed a dragon king before."

Xia Mu paused for a moment: "Deal."

"it is good!"

Principal Angers seemed surprised by his decisiveness and clapped his hands in praise: "I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're not like those two-faced guys from the Snake Clan."

“Ahem,” Natsuki coughed lightly, reminding him, “I am the head of the Uesugi family.”

Angers realized he had insulted him as well, so he changed his tune and said, "I have high hopes for you, and I hope to see you at the academy soon."

"You haven't encountered any further attacks since last night, have you? The executive department searched the area but found no trace of them," Principal Angers suddenly said.

Xia Mu kept his eyes down, his mind focused, and remained silent.

"No, it would be troublesome to retrieve the black dragon's body again tonight and transport it back," Professor Mans replied.

"Hmm, it seems the target is indeed the bone flask. Then everything is fine."

After the call ended, a bombshell news story broke globally that same day: Carnegie Mellon has struck again! Creating a brand new dragon-slaying epic!

With that dragon-slaying scene, Xia Mu became famous all over the world.

Of course, it will take time for the film to gain popularity, and it will probably take time for the quantitative change to lead to the qualitative change after the film is released.

Even so, his popularity quickly soared to 300 million.

The base number is too large.

After that, some of his training videos and dragon-slaying videos found a place to be used as film material.

College life is also more fulfilling, and during the holidays I can go to Hollywood to shoot movies. It's not only a suitable excuse not to go home, but also something to look forward to in collaborating with Master Mei!

After that, Natsuki and Erii didn't have anything else to do. The two packed up and prepared to go back to get their luggage before setting off.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya also ended their mission ahead of schedule, applied for a long leave, and traveled with them all the way to the island nation.

The only variable is that Xia Mi has disappeared again.

But Xia Mu remained somewhat uneasy, unsure of what those words she spoke truly meant…

Chapter 138 Eating Ice Cream

"Is that 'S' class freshman who slew the dragon reporting for duty today?"

"I heard that's true. Didn't you see that this message is pinned to the top of the homepage?"

"He hasn't even arrived yet, but his popularity in the academy is already comparable to Chu Zihang and Caesar. He's clearly up to no good!"

"What's wrong with that? His dragon-slaying sword strike was truly cool!"

"..."

The Night Watchers forum was unusually lively, with endless debates revolving around the name "Xia Mu".

They had all seen the video, and unlike ordinary people, they knew it was real.

A true dragon slaying!

In particular, Xia Mu's heroic act of turning the tide and saving the entire execution team added a layer of heroism to this dragon-slaying mission.

This was incredibly exciting for the entire academy of students suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Especially this year's freshmen.

Having just arrived at Kassel College, I was dazzled by the conflict between the student council and the Lionheart Society. I hadn't yet gotten used to the various antics of the upperclassmen. Caesar's white-dressed girl group and Chu Zihang's unique style were both strangely alluring.

They were just beginning to build up their worship and admiration for these two kings, when it was shattered by Xia Mu's tornado.

“He’ll be taking the CC1000 express train today. I checked the departure time, and he’s expected to arrive at 3 p.m. How about we all go and greet him together?” Qi Lan from the Freshman Association suggested on the forum.

The post quickly gained popularity, becoming a symbol of rebellion and celebration among the new generation.

"Fellow students, let me remind you of something: the CC1000 express train only runs during the start of the semester to pick up and drop off new students. At other times, only helicopters can fly in," a senior student said, pouring cold water on the idea.

"No, I will take the CC1000 express train."

This reply silenced the hot post for a moment because the replyer's ID was "村雨", which is Chu Zihang.

No one will question him.

Except for Caesar.

"how do you know?"

Everyone is refreshing the website, watching the two big shots.

“I called him and asked,” Chu Zihang said.

Caesar fell silent.

But at 2:30 p.m. that day, the latest news dominated the forum: The entire White Dress Girls' Group was mobilized! To welcome the dragon-slaying heroes!

Five minutes later: Chu Zihang appeared! The Lionheart Society President greeted Xia Mu! An epic moment!

Five minutes later: Caesar appears! The student council president is determined to win!

The crowd at the school gate was growing larger and larger; it was hard to tell whether they were there to welcome the students or just to watch the spectacle.

"Hurry! Hurry! Let's go to the cafeteria!"

Fingel dragged Lu Mingfei out of bed.

"Wait, wait, I'm not wearing pants yet..." Lu Mingfei put down his notebook, flustered. "And what are we going to the cafeteria for? Aren't we just going to join the fun?"

"Fine! But we can also bring some wine and snacks!" Fingel grinned slyly, his hair a mess.

Lu Mingfei immediately realized: "The middleman makes a profit! A profiteer!"

"How about it, for steak and red wine for a late-night snack?"

Lu Mingfei swallowed hard: "Cheers!"

While chaos reigned at the academy, Natsuki and Erii waited on the train station platform, dragging their suitcases.
