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 couldnt answer her questions.

Looks like she did all that for nothing.

However, she recovered from her feelings of futility and dejection rather quickly.

Its going to be troublesome if you really did lose your memories.

Sorry.

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 a.s.sumed Wu Yan apologized because he couldnt answer her questions. So, she shook her head.

I wanted answers to some questions I had, I guess that is impossible now.

Wu Yan bitterly laughed again.

Right, where are we?

Youre at Ansullivan Dragon breeder academy.

Rebecca answered

Ansullivan what?

This is an inst.i.tution aimed at teaching students how to properly raise dragons and manage their pals (dragons).

This is also my school.

Rebecca patiently explained since Wu Yan looked very confused.

I 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. .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;}

I see

Wu Yan sighed.

My bad, I imposed on you

Not really, I have ways to exercise my given authority, placing injured people into a vacant dorm room is within my purview.

Rebecca shook her hands.

Guess I cant send you home now. You dont even remember anything about where you came from. You should probably use this room until you get your memories back.

Sorry about that.

Wu Yan bitterly chuckled again.

The Astral orbs around him started dancing as if responding to Wu Yans intentions.

Rebecca joked about this scene.

These 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 youre well-liked by Astral energies.

Liked?

Wu Yan frowned. He tried touching the Astral orb near him and it immediately burst like a bubble.

Nah, this isnt a welcoming thing.

Wu Yan said.

These things are actively rejecting me.

Rejecting you?

Rebecca flinched.

Yeah I can tell

Rejection by Astral?

Rebecca gave Wu Yans words some serious thoughts.

Astral 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.

Even 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 Ive encountered anyone saying they are rejected by Astral.

No, it is not the Astral per se that is rejecting e.

Wu Yan touched the orbs around him. Some of them burst like bubbles while the remaining orbs got absorbed by Wu Yan.

Rather, something above Astral is denying me.

An ent.i.ty above Astral?

Rebecca laughed.

Look, I dont 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.

I see...

Rebecca still couldnt understand Wu Yans words. She decided to store his words for later a.n.a.lysis.

Okay, whats your next move?

Hmm

Wu Yan scratched the back of his head. He shrugged.

Dont know, anyway, I cant keep troubling you like this. This is a school and I am not a student. I dont think I should stay here.

Well, you can

Rebecca said.

If youre a Dragon Breeder, it would be a walk in the park to get you enrolled at this school. You also dont look that old to me

Rebecca sized Wu Yan up.

Hmm, you dont have any visible Seikoku. Guess youre not one then

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 va.s.sal 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 Rebeccas help to clear his quests.

Hey, I am not too sure about this but I think I have dragons too.

You do?

Rebeccas green eyes flashed with doubt.

But, you dont have Seikokus on you

My Seikoku is a bit special.

Wu Yan explained.

It is so ghoulish that I have to hide it with special methods.

I see

Rebecca is still puzzled.

Do you mind showing me your Seikoku?

Okay

Wu Yan raised his arm. He channeled magic power.

Dont wet yourself now.

Wu Yans arms turned opal-black with red magical lines covering it.

Huh

Rebecca slightly backed away when Wu Yans arm turned demonic.

That is your Seikoku?

Should be

Wu Yan recalled his magic power and his hand returned to normal.

Thats rather sinister

Rebecca quipped.

I have never heard of a Seikoku that can turn the arms of its users dark as the night like that

Thus why I normally hid it from view.

Wu Yan helplessly replied.

Fine, since youre a dragon breeder, I will pull some strings to get you enrolled in this school.

Thanks for the help

No, I am still gathering clues from you anyway. Your stay will make my observations easier.

Rebecca winked at him. Then, she thought of something.

If youre going to stay you might need a name. I mean, we cant leave your name tag blank.

Rowan!

Rebecca cried out.

Its settled, youre Rowan from now on!
