What struck the most was the fact that she specialized not in combat but support.
Additionally, she had Child Care.
That skill certainly wasn’t rare, but this was the first ti I had seen it at such a high rank. Even becoming a kindergarten teacher could only raise its rank to D.
But she was a dragon.
It had risen to that level because her children had a long period of delightful infancy.
B-rank would’ve already been surprising, but hers was at Z.
The beauty, who turned out to be a green dragon, introduced herself as Erdanti.
Was that na supposed to tell sothing?
? Clarification: Divine Dragon Erdanti. She’s the first Saintess and the first to gain the power of resurrection. According to the original story, she belonged to the First Hero, but cadet Kang Han Soo changed the story in such a way that she ended up with the one she loves. Her soul is still with the First Hero, though…
‘Thanks for the explanation, Trainee Teacher!’
I thought I saw her when I was with my dented senior.
I survived thanks to my “Legendary” racial trait, but he only avoided a sad end because he was restored to life by that dragon.
At the ti, I couldn’t imdiately identify her as a dragon since she was quite different back then.
If the fake Divine Dragon standing in front of was “early spring,” then the real Divine Dragon with the First Hero was “late winter.”
Right now, she was with her children, who were so cute and plump that I could just gobble them up.
“Ah, glad to et you. You seem to be doing alright. Is my dear comrade Noebius still alive?”
Two thousand years had already passed since the Hero was summoned.
At this ti, he was already at the end of his years.
But the green-haired beauty bowed her head in disbelief.
“In all of Fantasy’s continents, there is no being capable of harming the invincible Noebius, who contains all the darkness of the Universe. It is safe to say he’s perfectly fine.”
“Huh?”
“Oh! Of course, the Hero might just be a worthy rival.”
“No, that’s not what I ant… Shouldn’t he be already living through his final days?”
Even having said that, I wasn’t certain anymore.
Two millenniums ago, Noebius was a young, energetic traveler.
His children standing on both sides of the Divine Dragon were proof of that.
Why was it even possible for such a dragon to completely exhaust himself in just 2,000 years in the first place?
“It is. Auntie can control ti.” My cowardly wife intervened after reading my mind.
I didn’t expect such an answer.
“What does that an?”
“Whose power do you think regression stems from?”
“…”
But it was all like that.
My father-in-law couldn’t control ti. Having inherited the Demon Lord’s throne, I couldn’t do it either.
I could refuse to regress, but I couldn’t control it.
Fantasy was created by the First Angel and the First Demon, joining forces.
The regression that had tornted for a century was also part of it.
If the First Demon had nothing to do with it, then it was the First Angel who added it to the dinsion of Fantasy.
“The Divine Dragon Erdanti exaggerated a little, but the Supre Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, who went beyond the limits of his race, is almost impossible to kill. Therefore, auntie chose to kill him through natural death.”
Did she speed up his biological clock?
There were parts about it that I couldn’t understand, but because Classmate A and the dragons were staring at , I stopped asking questions about it.
“What’s your healthy husband doing now?”
“Noebius is hibernating.”
“Is he really healthy?”
“Yes. He’ll soon wake up. After he gave these two wonderful children, he decided to sleep for two millennia. One thousand nine hundred ninety-five years have passed since then.”
That was far from soon. There were still about five years left.
He knocked up his girl and went to sleep.
People would criticize him for this, but dragons, hermaphrodites, couldn’t care less about children.
Laying eggs was usually the first and last act of parenthood for them since they didn’t feel the need to keep an eye on them.

The black-haired baby dragon, who looked like an ordinary boy, was just like Green Cake as a newborn. They both were stronger than any other monsters.
But even so, wasn’t he too strong?
I concluded that the power of Z-rank Child Care caused it.
“Um… I couldn’t quite get the gist of your conversation. Are you two talking about that sa Noebius right now, Han Soo?”
“Yes. The Leader of the Five Great Disasters and the Supre Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. He Is now called the Dark Dragon, though.” I answered him truthfully.
“How did you defeat such a strong family?”
I couldn’t hide my surprise. How could he speak so blatantly about the murder of my comrade’s family right in front of his wife and kids?
Thankfully, the Divine Dragon didn’t seem to care.
“Dear Hero, you can stay in our ho for as long as you like. If you show this certificate, you can use any services free of charge.”
“Where is your ho?”
“The city you are in.”
“The whole city?”
“Yes.”
The Dumpling Kingdom, Holy Empire, and Holy Kingdom’s borders all t on this city and were also surrounded on three sides by a mountain range.
A natural fortress.
The shape of the mountain ranges resembled a recumbent dragon…
Wait!
“Is it…?”
“You’re right.”
I thought my dear friend abandoned his family, but I now realized how mistaken I was.
He always defended his family, even in his slumber.
He just didn’t feel the need to be active.
“Han Soo, what’s the matter? What’s with this city?”
I decided not to explain anything to Classmate A, who couldn’t keep up with our conversation from the very beginning. It would do no good if he found out.

I didn’t want to compare the skills of the 2,000-year-old Noebius with Alex’s G-rank Sword Mastery, but they definitely weren’t fit for primary education.
Even if we considered that he was from the race of dragons, which in strength were superior to other races by about three tis, there still hadn’t been such a Disaster before.
Besides, Noebius was the heroes’ rival himself.
The difference was more than three tis.
“Mom praised you a lot.”
“I often listened to a lullaby in which your exploits were ntioned.”
Plucking up courage, the two little dragons, who had previously only stupidly looked at , finally spoke.
They even looked like Green Cake when they were shy.
“Beco as great as your father.”
That was the best praise I could say.
Noebius, who destroyed the 4th curriculum, had indescribable strength at the end of his years, but I thought he was still in good shape.
It was a pity that all this was just an illusion…
“Again, I’d like to thank you for bringing so much happiness into our lives. Call if you need help.”
“Call .”
“Call.”
The green beauty left, taking her two children with her.
I wasn’t sure if ‘left’ was the right word, though, since this entire city was her nest, under the protection of Noebius.
From a normal person’s perspective, though, she really did leave.
Anywho…
“Han Soo, I have a question.”
“I won’t entertain it.”
“You’ve known that dragon for about 2,000 years—Huh?”
“You’re a hero. You need to use your brain. If you can’t do that, how do you plan on enrolling in a secondary education course? Don’t you want to learn how to summon a whole harem of beauties?”
“Ah!”
Finding no argunts, Classmate A fell silent.
During my conversation with the Divine Dragon, I clearly showed that I had known Noebius for two millennia, so his doubts were understandable.
But we should never forget the first rule to becoming a hero.
Arrogance.
“You’re the only one with that rule…”
I ignored the words of my cowardly wife.
“Listen, friend.”
“Can’t you rember my na?”
“Now is not the ti to worry about such trifles. The Noebius family we just t…”
“Divine Dragon Erdanti, that legendary dragon, is said to have followed the First Hero.”
Classmate A pretended to know sothing.
“Yes, she’s the green-haired married woman. Congrats on figuring it out for yourself, but if you keep counting flies like that, you won’t be able to graduate.”
“Oh…”
“Z-rank skills are normal for primary students now.”
“What? Really?”
“I told you I’m doing research. I’ve t a lot of juniors besides you, so I’m sure of it. As soon as they are summoned, they toss that lying woman Lanuvel. They then recruit Aqua and the Saintess, who are in the Holy Kingdom, as companions. They’re not progressing as slow as you are.”
I just didn’t rush him because it bothered .
“Is the gap between us really that big?”
“Why should I, a student from the secondary education course, lie to you?”
“You’re right. You have no reason to do so.”
“I’m not supposed to do this, but since you’re a forr classmate of mine, I’ll teach you a special trick.”
“What trick?”
“How to easily get Z-rank skills.”
“Woah!”
“Listen carefully. The kind-hearted can’t win over the hard worker, but the hard worker can’t win over the one who enjoys the process. Likewise, the one who enjoys the process can’t win over the coward, and the coward can’t win over the kind-hearted. This is, of course, in accordance with Mollan’s teachings.”
“So this is where Mollan’s teachings co in…”
I explained the word of Grand Master Mollan to my idiotic classmate, but he couldn’t seem to understand half of it. I did take more than three years to get through the first round, though, so it was understandable.
Basically, he needed to grow stronger.
The certificate given by Noebius’s wife proved to be extrely helpful.
All city services were indeed free.
“This is a tradition my great-great grandfathers kept.”
None of the residents opposed this. After all, this was how their ancestors lived.
The Divine Dragon bought this land 2,000 years ago, and now all the locals, including the feudal lords, were their tenants.
Unlike my friend Noebius, his wife was a calculating landlady who knew the benefits of investing.
“It’s a pity that it didn’t work out for .”
Who knew my father-in-law would catch ?
It was a bit of a sha that land ownership docunts from the Fantasy World were nothing but simple pieces of paper on Earth.
And my wife…
“What now?”
“You haven’t invested in anything yet, have you?”
“Even if I haven’t, it doesn’t bother in any way now.”
“Oh, I see.”
My dear comrade Noebius now lived happily thanks to the fact that his marriage was successful. How co I got a cowardly demoness instead of soone like the Divine Dragon?
Life wasn’t fair.
“You shouldn’t be envious. It’s all made up anyway.”
“I know.”
The real Divine Dragon now lived as a slave under the control of my resentful senior. Noebius’s wife right now was nothing more than a fake.
All this was just an illusion.
“But this doesn’t an that such a developnt is impossible. Both Noebius and Erdanti are still alive.”
“None of that concerns .”
“Hmph! Really?”
“…”
Ignoring her, I turned to Classmate A.
Using the certificate given to us by the Divine Dragon, he freely chose his armor and weapons.
But was there even any point in doing so? One nudge from my wings would be enough to completely disintegrate his opponents.
I wasn’t sure if the sa applied for the Dragon Scale armor, though.
“Hey, friend. Stop choosing and pick one already. We need to hurry up—”
Bang!
At that mont, breaking through the thick wall of the forge, a little girl appeared.
Green hair, green eyes, green outfit, green aura…
It was the Divine Dragon’s daughter we recently t.
“Ouch… Hmm? Dear Hero, sorry to startle you. That evil lady is bullying mom again,” said the green-haired girl with her left arm torn off and her neck slashed.
Shhhh…
Her fatal wounds were swiftly healed, though.
Shaking off the dust, I asked the girl. “And who’s the evil lady?”
Who was the suicidal maniac that decided to touch their nigh-all-powerful family? From the sounds of it, though, this didn’t seem like the first ti this had happened.
I was surprised at first, but then I finally noticed.
