Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

The more people he would have, the more talent he would obtain. These talents would work best to be one of his powers, adding more options for him to dominate the academy.

If it was a clan, it would be much easier for him to crush them with his strength. But this was an academy, something he wouldn't dominate with power alone.

"Ding! Warning, a pillar appeared there," suddenly his system warned him from going there. "Ding! Retreat," the system added.

Arthur paused while the golden dragon asked: "What's the shape of that pillar? What clan does it belong to?"

"Ding! There is a faint wolf inscription over its top," the system answered.

"Damn!" the golden dragon cursed, "those folks are really vengeful and hard to deal with. Retreat kid, this place isn't suited to be yours. Retreat before they spot you."

Arthur didn't hesitate to move away as far as possible from this stronghold. "What clan is it?" he asked when he was finally far away from their reach.

"The werewolves," the golden dragon said, "they are a real trouble."

"Sigh," Arthur shook his head before adding, "this way of venturing here isn't reassuring at all."

"They seem to be very pissed of you."

"The dark clans here?" he asked.

"No, those you killed their offspring," the golden dragon corrected.

"They have a point," Arthur laughed.

"Damn kid, stop using this annoying strength of yours," the golden dragon was pissed off from his silent roars.

"Sorry, can't help myself here," he smiled while turning his gaze towards a distant cluster of towns and villages. "To the next target then."

He kept moving from one location to another using the same tactic. First he let his system scan the area seeking for any Amazor clan's remaining forces.

If there was such, he would instantly target them then his system would open gates to the people here while he selected the highest place and cancel his transformation.

He would speak a few words explaining the new situation here and his identity and deeds, asking those interested to be freed to join him before hurrying to leave again in his dragon form.

Just as he delved deeply into the bigger territory of the Amazor clan, he started to meet more strongholds with pillars waiting for him.

"Ding! Leave this one."

"Ding! Hurry and retreat now."

"Ding! This one is also a threat."

"Ding! Pillar alert… pillar alert…"

The system kept warning him in increasing frequency while Arthur started to be annoyed.

"Damn! Everywhere I run to now is risky!"

He stood a couple of tens of miles away from a cluster of strongholds stretched right and left. They blocked his path forward, and if he wanted to continue advancing, he would risk being spotted by them.

"Ding! You should retreat to the academy then."

"Tsk, I thought I could take more," he sighed.

"You took enough already," the golden dragon said before adding, "also this is a small lesson for you. Don't try to hit someone you can't afford his wrath."

"Whose side are you one exactly?" Arthur smiled before adding, "or do you want me to laugh?"

"Oh, stop, I didn't mean anything mean to you," the golden dragon hurried to say before adding, "this is just for you sake."

"I know what's best for me," Arthur said before flying away, "anyone standing in my way is my enemy."

"Tsk, stubborn kid."

"Hahaha," Arthur laughed and the next moment the golden dragon kept asking for forgiveness.

"Ding! The portal is ready."

The system said, stopping the two bricking here. "Where does this lead to?" the golden dragon asked, "to his city?"

"Ding! It's to his star map, then to the academy world."

"No, no, no, this is wrong," the golden dragon said.

"What do you mean by that?" Arthur asked.

"You are wasting a golden opportunity now," the golden dragon paused before adding, "didn't that chick of yours mention they are in your city?"

"Yeah, they are acting like they owned the place."

"It's great, go then to the city."

Arthur didn't get the meaning of his golden dragon. "I'll meet them at the academy when I return," he said before adding, "I'll fetch a bird's wing to Amelia and make her gather everyone and move to the city. She will also inform them about my location like I was already there from the start."

"Wrong," the golden dragon didn't care about his logic as he added, "this is all wrong."

"Ding! Can you elaborate further so he can get your point?"

"Going back to the city and appointing those annoying masters of yours as guardians to the city is very important."

"…"

Arthur was speechless there and before he could say anything the golden dragon pushed even further in his imaginations, "no, the best is to appoint them as your imperial guardians."

"You must be tired and grew senile, old dragon," Arthur couldn't respond by anything but these words.

"Just listen, this is for your own good," the golden dragon kept arguing.

"How? They are already annoying! Appointing them even to my city with posts won't bring but more trouble and noises to my little peaceful world!"

"First of all, your world isn't little neither peaceful; you are a warlord," the golden dragon sneered before adding, "as for them being annoying, you need to figure out a way to deal and tolerate this. After all you need their recognition in the end to be the dean and follow your commands."

Arthur took a deep breath before adding, "what this has to do with appointing them as guardians? Huh?"

"You are such a short sighted youth," the golden dragon sighed, "this way you'll get them to start seeing you as their boss. It might seem a minute detail for you, but later on this small thing will grow up and make their minds and souls accept you as a leader."

Arthur paused before his mind started to gain accustomed to the golden dragon's logic. "You mean acting like their boss from here?"
