SSS Rank Dragon summoning! Only I can summon an army of dragons Chapter 5: The future brings

As soon as the words escaped Headmaster Stoick’s lips. The room fell into what felt like a palpitating coldness.

Reason being, Each of the students still reeling back from the realization of being awakened and now a dungeon hunt...it was a bit too much.

Not that they had not learnt about this and known it would happen this way, however words and reality were surely not the sa context.

One of the students there stretched out his hand to call the headmaster’s attention.

When he got it, he rose from where he sat and spoke, "can we have a mont to rest, maybe thirty minutes..."

The Headmaster shook his head cutting the student off before he could finish his statent.

"As you all know, it is essential for an awakened to go on a hunt imdiately after getting awakened, but what you do not know is that the reason for that is not because one will be able to showcase his or her skills, no," the old man paused and groped his beards a little as if taking ti to consider his next line of words.

"It is because the best ti for one to grow exceedingly quickly after being awakened is on the sa day of the awakening, and this is another reason ALCRAN academy is far superior to its competitors."

Hearing this the face of the student that had asked the earlier question dropped and he sat down on his seat without an Invitation.

’So there are more secrets of being awakened that are not even shared to us Originals,’ Drake was not surprised, he expected this to so degree.

The governnt being the governnt kept secrets to themselves in other to make sure they stood above the clans in both power and knowledge.

"..."

Drake having growing bored took his mind off the Headmaster as the briefing continued. Since he already had a good idea of what the topic of discussion was he preferred to place his attention on more profitable things.

Opening his system interface Drake scanned through the information displayed.

{Stats}

Na: Drake Drakon

Rank: SSS Rank

Talent: Dragon Necromancy

Level: 1

Soul core: 0/20

’An SSS Rank Talent that isn’t a close range ability, if it was my old life I would be classified as condemned,’ Drake thought tapping the dashboard to bring more Information.

So part of him had been curious, if he would awaken the sa ability he possessed in his first life, however that was proven wrong of course.

{Talent Description: Only the dead can control the dead.}

*You can summon dragons to beco your anchor to the underworld.

{Number of dragons: 1}

Drake furrowed his eyes, a sceptical look on his face. ’1 summon for a SSS Rank Talent?’

As if that was not Infuriating enough, what the hell did the system an by anchor?

The more Drake gave the information thought, the more he felt his anger well up in him.

As he was about to lose it, he felt a tap on his back and...

"—Drakon?"

It was at this mont Drake, realized the silence in the room, with the attention shifted to him.

And finally one thing that could not go unoticed, was the twitching of the headmaster’s left eye that indicated he was mad, as he glared at Drake with a fake smile.

"..." Drake let out a sigh and simply waited for sothing. Probably a hint, or—

Tessa nudged him a little with her elbow to his side, "Your rank and talent."

"Oh, I see." He spoke calmly.

Drake rose to his feet showing the proper respects with a slight bow to the Headmaster before saying, "SSS rank Necromancy."

A few laughs ca across the room mainly from the originals, but Drake paid them no attention.

On purpose not to share out all the sensitive information about his talent he made sure to leave out the part of being a Dragon necromancer. He was an original after all, and with every important Information he shared, the easier his enemies would get the upper hand in killing him.

Now that he had spoken all attention fell to the next S Ranked individual in the room, Tessa.

She got to her feet and cleared her throat. However giving no respects or bow, she simply said, "SS rank, Fire attribute."

And then the next, and next. Until all the S Ranked exceptional students had all been Introduced.

Then finally the Headmaster spoke again, "during the hunt it is the job of the S ranks to help lower ranked mbers in need.

The duty for the A and B ranks is to lead in groups, and the lower ranks to listen and provide support. That is the formation for this hunt."

After saying this he let a silence linger in the air for a while before speaking again, "be ready in ten minutes, at least that would be enough ti for you all to cope your new bodies."

That was obviously a lie, knowing Headmaster Stoick, Drake could tell he was simply honouring the student’s request for so rest ti before the hunt.

With that the Headmaster and those that followed him went out of the room through the exit leaving the students to their own thoughts and toxic imaginations.

Many sat for a while longer to fully absorbs the fact that they were now awakened. A few others especially the originals rose from where they stayed during the briefing walking to different sections of the room.

This was the locker room for the event and each student had brought whatever they would have needed for the hunts and kept them in their specific lockers..

Either it being weapons, new clothing, gadgets and provisions of needed.

Drake and Tessa headed to the sa part of the room since they picked lockers close to each other.

Reaching his locker, Drake places his right hand on it, instantly a blue light shine and encased his palm, then a second layer it went off the locker opening up.

In it he had kept a long sword crafted in a quality crimson tal, a change of clothing, and his inhaler...

Grmmm!!!

His gaze flew to his right where Tessa stood with her hands on her stomach.

"Looks like I should have packed a few snacks in for you," He teased with a naughty smile.

Tessa let out a sigh drooping her hands, "shut the fuck up, you knew this would happen, bring them already."

Drake nodded putting his hand into his pocket and then he pulled out what looked like— a chocolate bar.

"You know so well!" Tessa exclaid grabbing the bar, pulling it from Drake, and monstrously ripping the nylon apart to reveal the satisfying brown bar.

"That was with when the pressure started, don’t you think the radiation aff—" his words were little too late to be completed as Tessa was already consuming the bar greedily.

His shocked stare, turned into a smile of amusent, ’Even if I said it all, she won’t still hesitate to eat it.’

"Drake," she called out in a low tone holding off her savage murder of the chocolate bar.

Drake furrowed his eyes in question to what she had to say. Tessa was very spontaneous, and that made her almost impossible to be predicted,— almost that was.

"We finally reached our goal of becoming Awakened, and it just the beginning of the journey, do you feel anxious of what the future holds?"

Drake held his breathe monts of his past life flashing in his mind, and finally the image of the devil that had ended him, depicted clearly In his mind for so reason and he spoke, "yes..."

"I am anxious of what the future brings."
