Oh, so I won. I’m glad that I made it, Silica congratulates me with a smile but I think she’s very nervous for her own turn. Akeiko thought.
The ground shook as the battle between Teiko and the ancient dragon began.
Akeiko got up and watched how Teiko battled against the ancient dragon.
“The power of that ancient dragon is psychic. It could control an object just from its will,” Saki said.
“Then, how could Teiko beat that one,” Silica asked.
“Teiko is already powerful, the psychic ability of that dragon is not that powerful to control Teiko or anything that Teiko wields. Basically, that dragon picked the wrong opponent,” Saki replied.
After a short period of time, Teiko was able to defeat the lesser ancient dragon.
Wow, Teiko is very cool. He was able to end the battle in a very short amount of time. Akeiko thought.
Akeiko looks at Silica and she can see her emotions.
She’s so amazed by what Teiko has done, no it’s not just simple amazement. I think she’s in love? Wait? How could I know something like that by just looking at her. Does that mean that I’m also in lo-. No, no, that’s not possible. But Silica is still tense, with her ability, I don’t know what she could do to win. Akeiko thought.
Teiko walks up to where the other three were. Silica greeted him with a hug.
“You’re so amazing, Teiko!” Silica exclaimed.
“What are you doin-,” Teiko said.
She hugged her? What the hell is she thinking? Wait, no, I’m not jealous at all. Akeiko thought.
“Silica, you’re afraid. Your hands are shaking,” Teiko said.
Silica let go of Teiko. She said, “What are you saying? I’m just excited about your victory.”
The lesser celestial dragon flew down and made a loud roar. Silica was surprised, making her fall down to her feet.
The dragon signals that it wants to fight against Saki. Silica took a deep breath after realizing that she’s not the one that the dragon wanted to fight with.
“You sure about this, celestial dragon-chan?” Saki said.
The dragon made another loud roar.
“Fine, fine. I’m coming,” Saki said.
Saki flew down carelessly to the arena.
“Okay, dragon-chan! I’ll let you have a free attack at me since you have the same magic type as me,” Saki said.
The dragon just made another loud roar making it obvious that it doesn't want what Saki has offered.
“Then, die,” Saki said.
《Cosmic Supernova》
The dragon bursted after Saki casted her skill.
“Too much for a lesser dragon, right?” Saki said, then flew back to where she was before.
The battle ended in just a mere second.
The three weren’t surprised at what happened to the lesser dragon but were scared at how powerful Saki is.
“It’s your turn, Silica-nee,” Saki said.
Silica walked nervously towards the arena.
With just one dragon left, we could just fight it as a team. Although I couldn’t do much since my mana is still regenerating. Silica, I hope that you can conquer your fear. Akeiko thought.
The lesser earth dragon came down from where it was. Silica made it so that the dragon wouldn’t feel that she’s very nervous about the battle.
As the dragon emerges, it looks directly at Silica and bowed its head.
“Wait? The dragon is bowing its head?” Teiko said.
“What’s happening? Does the dragon admit defeat already?” Akeiko asked.
“I don’t know, but from the look of it. It’s more powerful than the other three lesser dragons,” Saki said.
“Ahm, hello, Sir Dragon?” Silica said nervously.
The dragon growled but remained bowing its head.
“Ahm, Saki? What should I do, he seems pissed off but is still bowing his head,” Silica said.
“I think it's because you called it Sir Dragon and referred to her as a male when in fact it's a female dragon,” Saki said.
“Oh, sorry about that. What should I call you then?” Silica said.
“Don’t worry about what you’re calling her, it’s just admitting defeat and you can end the battle right now, Silica-nee,” Saki said.
“No, I don’t think that's the case,” Silica replied.
Silica slowly walked closer to the dragon.
“Hey, Silica! What are you doing, that’s dangerous!” Teiko said.
“Hey, there. I think you don’t want to fight anyone even though you know you can beat me,” Silica said.
Silica started petting the dragon’s head. The dragon responded which seems very docile towards Silica.
“Hey, everyone! This dragon is very friendly! You should come here, too!” Silica shouted.
The three were confused so they started walking towards Silica.
“Ohh, it’s really a friendly lesser earth dragon!” Saki said.
Akeiko tried to pet the dragon.
“It feels like we got a pet dog,” Akeiko said.
“Hey, Teiko-nii, try to pet her,” Saki said.
Teiko tried moving closer to the dragon but it growled.
“Oh, she doesn't like you, Teiko,” Silica said.
The three girls laugh at the scenario.
The dragon started standing up and walking towards a certain direction. It spread its wings signaling to let the four ride her back.
The dragon seems happy when the three ride her back but become irritated when Teiko jumps on her back.
The dragon flew towards a big room which looked like its nest. The area has many pointed rocks together with the crystal that gave light to the cave.
The four jump down from the dragon’s back and observe their surroundings. The dragon grabbed Silica and put her towards a glowing crystal - a sacred sapphire.
“Wow! She even knew what we wanted here,” Saki said.
The dragon growled and a treasure box appeared from the ground.
“So she wanted us to take her treasure, right?” Teiko said.
The dragon growled at Teiko.
The three laughs. Akeiko said, “You’re tight but you are not included!”
The three continued laughing.
“So this is what you wanted us to see?” Silica asked.
The dragon nodded.
“Then let’s take a look at the treasure box,” Saki said.
