Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

The two remaining kids were Jon, a silent little boy, his affinity was Ice, and then Hansel, a former fat kid, who had now gotten pretty slim, he still has a timid personality, and his affinity is Earth. Both have conventional looks as Ice Giants' concern, such as yellow-gold eyes and silvery-white hair.

Jon was doing his hardest, but his icicle spears were not big or strong enough, he was slowly chipping away the dummy of ice but had to take rests for his mana to regenerate here and then, so he was taking his time. He's only five years old so it is rather normal.

And then there was Hansel, he had yet to find a way to launch his rocks, so he was grabbing them when he conjured them with magic and launching them with his arms, the dummy was also slowly being chipped away.

"Come one, you can do it!" I said.

"Hahh… I-Its hard…" sighed Jon.

"Ugh… Damn rocks, Earth is supposed to be a strong element, why are you so small and pathetic?!" wondered Hansel, getting frustrated.

"Hansel, don't conjure rocks, use the ground itself!" said Flayr, suddenly giving him an insight that surprised even me!

Right… Why doesn't he use the big element all around him instead of trying to make it?

I had completely forgotten he could do just that.

Damn, I am a retard!

"Right! Y-You're right!" said Hansel, as he concentrated his mana into his palms and then touched the ground with them!

BOOM!

Suddenly, a thin stone spear surged from the ground, penetrating the dummy form below and slicing it apart!

Wow, deadly! He could quite easily kill someone… Well, everyone here should be able to.

"I-I did it! Yes!" said Hansel, jumping happily.

"Sigh… How can I… Ah!"

Jon suddenly had an inspiration as he saw the thing spear made of stone that Hensel made, as he conjured a special type of icicle spear, which was very thin and had a sharp tip… it looked more like an arrow, to be honest!

FLAAAASH!

The arrow rushed into its target as it pierced the dummy's chest and make it slowly crack…

"Not… yet!"

Jon quickly conjured two more ice arrows, destroying the dummy once and for all!

CRASH!

The dummy fell into pieces over the ground, as Jon seemed surprised with himself…

"Amazing… I did that?! I really did that just now? I can't… believe it…" he said, surprising himself.

Hm, Jon might not be able to conjure too much ice, but what he can do is make little arrows with strong and fast piercing power…

"Good work, Jon! You did well!" I said.

As all the kids gathered around me, I praised them all.

I saw that most of them put a lot of effort into the task, they seemed all decided, and that's what mattered to me. I wanted to see how much resolve they had to fight, to use their own magic, their own and only weapon.

"You did amazing. The order in which you managed to defeat the dummy had no implications for your grade. I find that all of you showed me off your strength, your resolve, and your ability to fight… Some need to polish their power some more, but this was a good showcase of how much you've reached, everyone," I said.

All the kids seemed to be happy at my words, Jon was relieved that he wouldn't get some bad grade for something for ending last.

"Now, Kids, I have made several new pieces of equipment for all of you, which I have specifically designed for your body sizes and your weapon preferences, there are even some accessories mixed in between! And they are all enchanted as I made them use my magic, scales, and I even poured my own blood on them, make sure to take good care of them!" I said.

Benladann came carrying a large sack filled with gifts, armor pieces, weapons, accessories, anything. I had been crafting this off-camera for several days now. The ability to make items with status infused with traits and even abilities is a great power, so I abused it to its limits and made equipment for everyone.

"Uwah! Amazing!"

"T-This is so cool… an armor made of Drake's scales!"

"A shield…"

"I like this ice blade…"

"Oh, this ring seems to give me more magic…"

"Thank you, sir Drake!"

"It's nothing, make sure to equip them and sport them out around, so you can show off your power! Each piece of equipment comes infused with a part of my might, so you can summon the Dragon Might out of my weapons to enhance your power. There may be times when I will need you to fend by yourselves… This is why I am preparing you for that inevitable day… I want you all to grow as strong as you can!" I said.

"Yeah!"

"But… I don't want to leave!"

"Me neither…"

"W-Well… You don't have to leave. But it will be your choice if you want to, but I won't let you go any time soon for now until you grow a few more years, and also get stronger, so don't get your hopes up!" I said, some kids actually wanted to explore the world, but they were way too young for that!

Ah… Wait, I am just 100 days old! Who am I to even speak about age?!

Well, let's keep pretending I am actually older than that, not even Benladann knows I am that young. It shall be a secret kept forever within my sealed lips…

"Everyone, lunch is ready, come eat already!" said Draugann while acting a bit grumpy, she was hungry.

"Ah, coming!"

"Let's go eat!"

"Mister Drake, food time!"

"Eat! Eat!"

The kids marched into the large table we set up over the snow and near the portable kitchen and bonfire that was being used to roast the meat, as they all sat down around it.

After that, we enjoyed a nice lunch and an overall comfortable day.

Soon enough, we shall finally reach the Ice Moon Sect Town, so I better prepare… I will prob not get there with my dragon form, that's for sure.
