Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

-----

Fuyu helped me defeat Ogurr without making it too flashy, I wouldn't want him to get so enraged that he would try to kill me or something, it is better if we all end up at a peaceful ending or something, yeah, that's for the better I believe. With Ogurr defeated in the ground, he had to admit defeat, although I also knew that he didn't used all of his power in the battle as he knew I was a newbie so he had to save up his real strength. I am sure I would had been able to defeat him even if he wasn't holding back, with my bare hands, even, but that's not what this test is about, it is just to test a newbie Adventure, not to kill them, so he would never do that, although I think he had the impulse to smack me at least once, but he didn't managed to even touch me for once, how sad.

"What's wrong? Do you want to go all out against a newbie now, sir Ogurr? You were amazing back then, please, stand up, I will take away the ice from you." I said with a gentle demeanor, acting cocky will only get me as far, I better just put on my humble mask for the moment.

Ogurr quickly changed his expression as he saw how I shifted my character to a more respectful person; I began to heal his frozen body parts and then he stood up and nodded.

"You're good enough, I wasn't going to lose if I went all out! You need to know that this is not about killing you or something, so I have to hold back or I might have killed you… Yeah, when I hold back there are sometimes when I get beaten, nothing too weird about it! Stop looking at me like that, you bastards!" Roared Ogurr, telling the other students looking at him to stop looking at him like that, and that it was greatly offending him.

The other students, who were now Adventurers of various ages and Ranks began to laugh a bit, but they stopped judging him with their gazes, it wasn't rare that he sometimes got stomped, apparently.

The other Adventurers that were all mocking me had stopped talking of course, and were now just respectfully looking at me in silence, if they messed with me they knew they could get even more frozen than their teacher, in here not everybody was an Ice Giant so they were not naturally resistant to ice magic damage, and could possibly lose a limb if they were frozen enough, no matter how strong their bodies could be, they were still at most at Rank 2 Peak Stage, there were no Rank 3s aside from Ogurr.

Marie came walking to my side, as she smiled gently and with a bit of a forced smile, I could notice that she was also a bit intimidate by my strength. Was she expecting me to get beaten? Well, without giving out my mana aura, I really look like a weakling at Rank 1 or something, it is incredible how important a mana aura is to show other people you're someone that they shouldn't look down into… well, this is a world where everybody has mana cores, so everybody can use mana and use magic, it is natural to judge others based in the mana aura they have, it has become a custom for generations by now, I would guess.

"Don't worry, he's very grumpy but a good-hearted man." Laughed Marie.

"Babah! Amwaziwg!" Said Benladra, praising me for my victory. She was already talking more words, but they came out with a lot of difficulty, which only made her look more adorable the more she tried to speak words or join a conversation.

"Isn't your papa amazing? Right? Hahaha!" I laughed, being praised by my beloved little goddess was the thing that made me the happiest, it filled me with pride, which was dangerous as a dragon whose pride and greed are the strongest emotions they feel.

"You did pretty good there, you had a hard time, didn't you? (Mostly pretending to be weak)" Said Benladann.

"Ah yes, it was… a very hard battle! Ogurr there was an amazing fighter, he's very strong, I really thought I almost didn't made it… And my Mana is completely gone now, boohoo…" I cried.

"(Your acting skills are terrible when you're not being malicious)" Sighed Benladann, speaking to me through telepathy once more.

Don't hurt my heart like that! I am really doing what I can…

"You passed the test with amazing proficiency in both battle, evasion techniques, and magic abilities, and your pet is both cute and strong!" Said Marie. "Well done! Now, let's start the test with the others!" Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

After Marie complimented me, she decided to quickly begin the test with the rest of my party, after I came Benladann, I quickly held Benladra with my arms and she went to fight.

"Mama, fwight!" Said Benladra.

"I will! Mama will beat that old man." Said Benladann, as she decided to just use the black axe.

Ogurr was back up to normal after I healed him, my healing spells are amazing after all, and he was ready for a round two, he raised his sword and put himself into a battle stance this time around.

"I will go easy on you because you're a married lady with a baby, but don't expect me to not show you the might of a seasoned fighter though!" Said Ogurr.

"Easy on me? That only will be your doom." Said Benladann. "Please, go as serious as you can, for your own safety."

"Eh? How bold of you to say something like that! Let's see if your actions can hold up to your words!" Ogurr roared, as the adventurers around cheered, and then he rushed towards Benladann.

CLAAAASH!

Benladann's axe clashed against Ogurr's blade, and both began to exchange blows at fast speed, Benladann was containing herself a lot there, she could had chopped him in half if she wanted…
