Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her

The Red Coliseum was a large, circular arena made of old stone and painted a deep crimson. Tall walls rose up all around, and rows of seats curved toward the center. Bright banners hung from the upper ledges, their colors glowing warmly in the morning light.

The arena at the centre of the Red Coliseum was pure black, as it was made from a special material.

Veer stood at one end of the arena and looked at the crowd with a wide grin on his face. His arms were busy handling his girlfriends, which irked the males in the crowd even more.

"What a good sight to start the day," Veer chuckled and then turned his head around, as he whistled softly. However, due to the silence, it echoed in the coliseum.

Under everyone's confused gaze, the eastern gate opened fully, revealing a big group of almost two hundred students. All of them stood on their place, properly organised and in strict discipline.

'These fuckers really need to show off,' Veer sighed and then winked at Rock, who understood his signal.

"On my words!!"

Rock's heavy voice settled in everyone's hearts, as the group began to march toward the arena. Their steps were in a perfect rhythm as if they had practiced this for years.

Each step shook the crowd's heart, as they felt a strange aura filling the coliseum. It wasn't oppressing or threatening, it was just there, telling them of its presence.

Atop a pedestal only accessible for the top echelon, Freya sat on her throne-like green chair. Her eyes were filled with amusement as she looked at the show.

"Hoho! They don't have any intent or even a proper presence, but somehow, it's making me excited." A middle-aged man with a tall, ripped figure chuckled, as he crossed his arms over his black beard.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Their synergy is good and it's already a miracle they managed to develop this infant presence," an old lady smiled, as she adjusted her glasses lightly.

They both were sitting on either side of Freya, as they were the Vice Presidents of two departments, namely Ragnar and Selena.

There were a total of Ten Departments in the Starlight Academy and the Vice President of every Department was present on the pedestal.

They conversed and gave Freya a few curious glances, as they wanted to know her thoughts. However, she stayed silent, much to their dismay.

Just as the group climbed on the arena, Freya stood up and stepped forward, outside of the pedestal frame. Instead of falling, she began to hover in the air and slowly descended.

The crowd had just recovered when they sensed the mighty presence of the Dean, which silenced the whole coliseum. They forgot about Rock's group display and looked at her.

There was never a time when the Dean herself had spoken in the Selections. Usually, she would just stay at the top and observe everything. They wondered what made her come down this time.

After casting a side glance at Veer, Freya swept her gaze across the participants of the Selections.

"Normally, we would have begun the Selections, but there are some changes," Freya's voice travelled to every corner of the coliseum. "The Selections would be different and it'll depend on your choice regarding how they would be for you."

"As everyone knows, in the Third Quadrant of the year, the First Years would have a chance to explore the Bloodthorn Labyrinth," she continued. "But the Bloodthorn Labyrinth is opening early this year, in the First Quadrant."

Everyone sucked a deep breath, as they all found the situation bad. After all, it wasn't the first time since Labyrinths showed abnormalities.

Every time they showed changes, something bad had happened. Last time it happened on the human continent, two cities were lost and millions died.

So, the crowd's reaction was normal. The Starlight Academy was very close to the Bloodthorn Labyrinth, after all. It was the most dangerous Labyrinth of the Blue Wind Kingdom.

As the news settled in, Freya continued, "We need to solve whatever problem it has before its barrier dissolves. So, the Six Main Academies have agreed to send their students in the Bloodthorn Labyrinth as usual."

She looked down at the First Years and said, "Normally, the First Years would have enough time to hone themselves before they dive in that hell. Unfortunately, you don't have that option."

The First Years fidgeted on their spots, as their heart raced and the same thought crossed their minds, 'Am I going to the Bloodthorn Labyrinth?'

Most of them didn't want to. They had heard about the horrifying Labyrinth and knew their chances of survival were low, if not completely zero. Not to mention that the situation was abnormal.

"You don't need to worry that much," Freya said, as she crossed her arms on her chest. "As I said, this is a choice. If you don't want to go, nobody will force you. In fact, I will suggest you forget about this."

Her aura burst out as winds howled around the coliseum, making everyone shiver. Her eyes focused on the First Years, with her aura directly pressing them.

Half of them dropped to their knees, while others struggled to be barely standing under the pressure. Even Veer and Carlson were feeling like insignificant ants before Freya.

'The hell!' Veer cursed, as he clenched his hands and struggled against the pressure like everyone else. His mind was trying to assess the situation, especially the loads of information Freya dropped on him.

He finally understood why Liliana was feeling this uneasy feeling. This was the reason. A labyrinth with abnormalities, with a high chance of his death.

'Of course, Selections wouldn't be that easy,' Veer cursed his luck once again. He had been happy because his past few years were relatively good.

'What should I do?'

The decision was important. He didn't want to go, but did it really matter what he wanted? Did he really have any other choice?

One thing he knew about the Labyrinth with abnormalities was that they were very dangerous, but also filled with opportunities.

Every single person who had survived these horrifying Labyrinths had earned a status one could only dream of, something he needed.

'Shit! If one day I find the fucker who gave me this bad luck, I'll show you what years of torment mean.'
