Chapter 1271
Rebecca is sporting a look of stress.
She is pretty sure Wu Yan has something to do with the Astral explosions in the sky. She discovered Wu Yan in an unconscious state surrounded by orbs of condensed Astral energy.
She thought she would be able to gather some intel once Wu Yan awakens. However, it seems like Wu Yan lost his memories and couldnât answer her questions.
Looks like she did all that for nothing.
However, she recovered from her feelings of futility and dejection rather quickly.
âItâs going to be troublesome if you really did lose your memories.â
âSorry.â
Wu Yan said, he meant it.
He felt bad because he had to lie to Rebecca, someone who saved him from the lake in the forest. But, he determined that it was not the time to tell her about the truth.
Rebecca assumed Wu Yan apologized because he couldnât answer her questions. So, she shook her head.
âI wanted answers to some questions I had, I guess that is impossible now.â
Wu Yan bitterly laughed again.
âRight, where are we?â
âYouâre at Ansullivan Dragon breeder academy.â
Rebecca answered
âAnsullivan what?â
âThis is an institution aimed at teaching students how to properly raise dragons and manage their pals (dragons).â
âThis is also my school.â
Rebecca patiently explained since Wu Yan looked very confused.
âI found you in an unconscious state in a nearby forest. I brought you back from that place and placed you in one of the dorm rooms we have over here.â .medrectangle-4-multi-147{border:none !important;display:block !important;float:none;line-height:0px;margin-bottom:15px !important;margin-left:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-top:15px !important;max-width:100% !important;min-height:250px;min-width:250px;padding:0;text-align:center !important;}
âI seeâŠâ
Wu Yan sighed.
âMy bad, I imposed on youâŠâ
âNot really, I have ways to exercise my given authority, placing injured people into a vacant dorm room is within my purview.â
Rebecca shook her hands.
âGuess I canât send you home now. You donât even remember anything about where you came from. You should probably use this room until you get your memories back.â
âSorry about that.â
Wu Yan bitterly chuckled again.
The Astral orbs around him started dancing as if responding to Wu Yanâs intentions.
Rebecca joked about this scene.
âThese Astral orbs⊠They followed you when I took you from the forest. Most of them disappeared along the way but some stayed behind. Looks like youâre well-liked by Astral energies.â
âLiked?â
Wu Yan frowned. He tried touching the Astral orb near him and it immediately burst like a bubble.
âNah, this isnât a welcoming thing.â
Wu Yan said.
âThese things are actively rejecting me.â
âRejecting you?â
Rebecca flinched.
âYeah⊠I can tellâŠâ
âRejection by Astral?â
Rebecca gave Wu Yanâs words some serious thoughts.
âAstral is required to sustain life. Humans have the most Astral of anything in this world. This is what we used to trade for services and servitude from dragons who need it to survive.â
âEven mighty dragons will perish without Astral. They can still hang on if given enough Astral through mediums like humans. But, this is the first time Iâve encountered anyone saying they are rejected by Astral.â
âNo, it is not the Astral per se that is rejecting e.â
Wu Yan touched the orbs around him. Some of them burst like bubbles while the remaining orbs got absorbed by Wu Yan.
âRather, something above Astral is denying me.â
âAn entity above Astral?â
Rebecca laughed.
âLook, I donât know how to explain it properly. These orbs mutated and are tagging me due to the change in nature of Astral. I am not actively doing this, that is for sure.â
âI seeâŠâ
Rebecca still couldnât understand Wu Yanâs words. She decided to store his words for later analysis.
âOkay, whatâs your next move?â
âHmmâŠâ
Wu Yan scratched the back of his head. He shrugged.
âDonât know, anyway, I canât keep troubling you like this. This is a school and I am not a student. I donât think I should stay here.â
âWell, you canâŠâ
Rebecca said.
âIf youâre a Dragon Breeder, it would be a walk in the park to get you enrolled at this school. You also donât look that old to meâ
Rebecca sized Wu Yan up.
âHmm, you donât have any visible Seikoku. Guess youâre not one thenâŠâ
Wu Yan turned silent.
Seikoku, he heard about this from the System.
That is something the Mother Dragon engraves on a kid who has a pal entrusted to him/her. It is like a mark of a sealed contract.
The dragons obtain Astral from humans through this brand. It is also through this brand that humans can gain access to the abilities of their dragons.
Seikoku sets dragon breeders apart from normal humans.
In a world of dragons and dragon riders, the fact that one is a dragon breeder can open many doors of opportunities. They can even get away with petty crimes if they achieve a high enough status as dragon breeders.
Wu Yan is also packing dragons inside him. Two of his five current vassal beasts are Zhuo Yan the White dragon and Lei Xian the Black Dragon.
His oriental dragons might seem out of place when compared to the western dragons commonly found in this world, but Wu Yan is sure he can cook up some BS to get through the enrollment process.
As for Seikoku, maybe he can do the same by saying his volcanic veins are special Seikokus.
Rather than running everywhere, it might be better to start at this school and use Rebeccaâs help to clear his quests.
âHey, I am not too sure about this but I think I have dragons too.â
âYou do?â
Rebeccaâs green eyes flashed with doubt.
âBut, you donât have Seikokus on youâ
âMy Seikoku is a bit special.â
Wu Yan explained.
âIt is so ghoulish that I have to hide it with special methods.â
âI seeâŠâ
Rebecca is still puzzled.
âDo you mind showing me your Seikoku?â
âOkayâŠâ
Wu Yan raised his arm. He channeled magic power.
âDonât wet yourself now.â
Wu Yanâs arms turned opal-black with red magical lines covering it.
âHuhâŠâ
Rebecca slightly backed away when Wu Yanâs arm turned demonic.
âThat is your Seikoku?â
âShould beâŠâ
Wu Yan recalled his magic power and his hand returned to normal.
âThatâs rather sinisterâŠâ
Rebecca quipped.
âI have never heard of a Seikoku that can turn the arms of its users dark as the night like thatâŠâ
âThus why I normally hid it from view.â
Wu Yan helplessly replied.
âFine, since youâre a dragon breeder, I will pull some strings to get you enrolled in this school.â
âThanks for the helpâŠâ
âNo, I am still gathering clues from you anyway. Your stay will make my observations easier.â
Rebecca winked at him. Then, she thought of something.
âIf youâre going to stay you might need a name. I mean, we canât leave your name tag blank.â
âRowan!â
Rebecca cried out.
âItâs settled, youâre Rowan from now on!â
