First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System

Elias raised his head slightly, looking up at Orion with an expression caught between admiration and grudging agreement. "Fine, Orion. I’ll concede your point. But you can’t tell me you’re not at least a bit annoyed."

Orion chuckled softly, nodding in admission. "Of course I am. But annoyance won’t help us in battle. Preparation and determination will."

Emilia, who’d remained silent, suddenly added, her voice quiet yet resolute, "Exactly. It’s just another challenge. We’ll just have to clear it."

Felira smiled warmly, her gentle voice reassuring, "We’ll get through this easily. After all, we’re among the strongest students here. If we can’t, then none of the others can."

Arya smiled, nodding in agreement, "Exactly. As long as we train diligently, we’ll definitely become stronger."

Feeling the resolve of his friends, Orion stood up slowly, brushing off stray petals from his uniform. "Well, it seems like everyone is determined enough. I should head out for now. There’s still much I need to think about."

Arya looked up, giving him a soft, encouraging smile, "Take care, Brother Orion. Let’s all meet again soon to discuss our training plans."

Elias mockingly waved goodbye, regaining some of his earlier humor, "Don’t overwork yourself, Orion! We’ll need your legendary luck to survive Vice Dean Hargan’s madness."

Orion shook his head with a wry smile, then turned and began walking toward the exit of the garden.

He slowly made his way along the peaceful, petal-strewn path leading out of the academy gardens. Lost in thought, Orion gazed upwards, admiring the drifting petals set against the soft backdrop of clouds drifting lazily across the vast azure sky.

’Nyss’s bad luck should be enough to keep all of them down,’ he inwardly thought, remembering her silently sitting some distance away from the group.
