Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

“Actually, I’m very grateful for the trust the principal has placed in me these past two years. I’ve grown a lot at Kassel College, and I will always remember that,” Xia Mu said softly.

A long sigh came from the other end of the phone.

Then Angers smiled again: "Xia Mu, I am an educator. Whether you drop out of school or not will not affect the fact that you are my student. But would you like to hear my evaluation of you?"

"Appreciate further details."

Chapter 253 You're Not Xia Mi

Angers didn't mention him first, but instead started talking about Caesar, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei.

"There aren't many mixed-race individuals worth training at the academy."

"Caesar was a bit rebellious, ignoring everyone, including his father. He was very confident, believing he was the best in the world. One day he'll surely come and challenge me, won't he? When he feels the time is right. I never praise him, but I send him to carry out the most important tasks. He needs success; the more successful he is, the more confident he becomes, and the more confident he is, the stronger he becomes."

"Chu Zihang is a madman, a sword that constantly forges itself. For a sword, the only purpose of existence is to cut. Enemies and destiny, just cut them off together. If you can't cut them, cut them again. So I never worry about letting Chu Zihang experience failure. Every failure makes him more perfect. I always send him to carry out the most dangerous and absurd missions, giving him endless crises."

Angers spoke eloquently.

“As for Lu Mingfei,” he smiled, “he’s fantastic. All I have to do is smile at him.”

“Xia Mu, I am an educator, and I use different methods to educate different people.”

Angers suddenly stopped laughing. "Have you ever thought about what the educational plan I've devised for you is?"

Xia Mu remained silent.

"You are a person of strong emotions, just like me."

"What is a person of strong emotions? It is someone who values ​​their companions and their feelings above all else."

"So all we need to do is give you more bonds, whether it's Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, Xia Liyi, or Xia Mi, they all play this role..."

“I’ve even thought that if one of them were to perish at the hands of a dragon, you would become the second me… While I don’t want my story to repeat itself, it would undoubtedly make you a true god-like warrior capable of annihilating the dragon race.”

Angers sighed, "It's a pity that Xia Liyi became Uesugi Erii, and Xia Mi became Jormungandr... You didn't forge a blood feud with dragons, but instead received a gift from the Dragon King..."

He said in a low voice, "Xia Mu, I can no longer be sure of your future stance."

Neither of them spoke again, and they remained silent for a long time.

"I will grant you early graduation."

"Thank you, Principal, you will always be my teacher."

"I hope we won't meet on the battlefield in the future."

The call ended there.

Xia Mu's connection with Kassel College and the Secret Party ends here.

He then swept across Japan, just as Angers had done decades earlier.

He put down his phone and leaned against the headboard.

The sun had completely set, leaving only a few streaks of brilliant evening glow.

"You have no stance, you only have yourself."

A voice came from my mind.

"I still have you."

The curtains swayed gently in the breeze; they were white lace gauze curtains and dark blue velvet curtains.

Xia Mu's eyes darted around for a moment, as if he saw a transparent girl's figure standing in front of the curtains.

She smiled gently at him, then disappeared again.

"There's another girl waiting for you."

Xia Mu closed her eyes wearily: "All I want to do right now is get a good night's sleep here."

"Go to sleep."

"Ah."

The next day, news of Xia Mu's early graduation spread throughout Kassel College, and the Night Watchers forum server almost crashed, with the screen filled with slogans such as "Dragon Slayer Forced to Drop Out! How Unfair the Board of Directors Is!"

Angers is making its final push.

"headmaster."

Chu Zihang was invited to the principal's office for tea.

“The candidates for the Nibelungen Project have been basically finalized. I want to confirm something with you,” Angers slowly poured water into his teacup. “This was secured for you by Xia Mu, but what will you do if one day you become adversaries?”

Chu Zihang raised his eyes, and the undying golden boy stared at him: "Why do you have different stances?"

“What if…he supports the dragons?” Angers’ expression became ethereal in the bird-like smoke.

"In a racial conflict, he won't take the side, even if Little Dragon Girl... even if Jormungandr gave him a lot," Chu Zihang said seriously.

“What if…” Angers said in a low voice, “he becomes a pureblood?”

Chu Zihang's eyes narrowed: "How could this be!"

"In the history of hybrids, no one has ever been able to kill the first-generation hybrid one-on-one without paying any price... except for Xia Mu."

"But that's no reason to doubt him."

"Actually, he reminded me of that himself..."

Angers propped his head up with his hand and closed his eyes slightly. "He wants us to be wary of him."

"Why?" Chu Zihang asked, puzzled.

Angers sighed, "Just tell me your answer."

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I am just a knife in the principal's hand. Who I cut is not up to me."

"very good."

Angers nodded, seemingly satisfied.

After Chu Zihang left, he remained seated behind his desk, deep in thought.

Chu Zihang is not a knife, he is a good sword. A sword has two edges, and when you cut others, you must be careful not to hurt yourself.

"Thank you."

Xia Mu glanced at the text message sent by Chu Zihang and replied with "Mm".

Time flew by, and even after the momentous event of slaying the dragon—the King of the Earth and the King of the Mountains—things eventually returned to calm.

Xia Mu received his graduation certificate and degree certificate.

Although these two things won't get you a job anywhere, they're still diplomas. At least on the encyclopedia, his academic background is listed as an overseas undergraduate, so he won't face inexplicable discrimination in the entertainment industry.

"Are you going to see your girl?"

Xia Mu cleaned the room, tidied everything up, and prepared to leave.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Xia Mu carefully locked the door, as if sealing away a piece of past memory.

"Are you afraid she'll be jealous?"

Downstairs, the sycamore trees have started to sprout again, no longer looking bare.

Xia Mu walked in the sunlight: "Her?"

Then there was silence again.

After a long while, until he hailed a taxi, the girl's voice rang out again: "You can marry Uesugi Erii sooner, no one will mind, and they might even be looking forward to it."

"We'll have to wait until she becomes a pureblood."

"No one can predict the future so accurately, so it's better to act now to avoid regrets later."

The taxi driver couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror.

Xia Mu remained expressionless, as if he hadn't been the one who had suddenly spoken.

He didn't say anything after that until he got off the bus.

“So, you’re not Xia Mi, are you?” he said softly.

“Am I not just someone you imagine? Whoever you think I am is who I am,” the girl said.

“Every time I mention Xia Mi, you fall silent. Every time I talk about my past with Xia Mi, you fall silent. You only care about the Dragon Clan… and my affairs.”

"I can tell whether it's a hallucination or not; I'm not stupid."

Xia Mu looked up and saw a clear blue sky with white clouds.

He was very nervous; the conversation that was about to begin was very important.

"You are Jormungandr, aren't you?"

Chapter 254 Jormungandr or Xia Mi?

Xia Mu stood motionless in the sunlight.

The girl's voice didn't ring in his mind.

They seemed to be silently competing with each other.

"If it were me, what would you think?" The voice finally echoed in my mind.

Natsuki's lips trembled: "Why...not...Natsumi?"

“Only the Dragon King can be resurrected, so it is Jormungandr who has awakened,” the girl said in a faint voice.

Xia Mu's eyes suddenly reddened.

The sunlight shone on his back, but it felt like a mountain, pressing down on him and gradually bending his back, as if he were about to collapse.

“I have the memories of Xia Mi,” Jormungandr said.

Xia Mutong zoomed in, and the mountain on his body seemed to vanish in an instant: "What... is going on?"
