“I know that humans age quickly… .”

Hindrasta looked me up and down and said.

“How come you haven’t changed at all?”

“Because I’ve been playing hard for the past 10 years.”

“Palza is good. Some people are going through humiliating days filled with shame and anger.”

I laughed out loud at those words.

“Isn’t ten years a blink of an eye for a dragon? I’m still shaking like crazy. Just like back then.”

Hindrasta’s eyes twitched.

“But… .”

Instead of replying, Hindrasta looked over my shoulder and around the area exaggeratedly and asked.

“Have you found the yellow head that always sticks around?”

“Ah, you mean Linus, the hero who built the Buntang Lizard Hindra Star?”

Hindrasta’s eyes twitched again.

“Far from dying, I am living very well. We met recently and drank together.”

“But why are you alone?”

“She doesn’t work here.”

“Not here?”

“Yes.”

“Then where is it?”

Hindrastar inquired about Linus’ whereabouts.

“To be honest, I don’t even know where it is. Anyway, it’s not here.”

“That’s right… . That yellow head is not here… .”

Hindrasta closed his mouth and thought deeply.

“If you want revenge on Linus, just quit. Don’t get in trouble again and get completely kicked out this time.”

But Hindrasta doesn’t answer, as if he can’t hear me.

Meanwhile, I took a close look at Hindra Star.

A young, cute face and a petite body. Even the pink pigtails that attract attention everywhere.

Even if you polymorph, why do you have to look like that? Your taste is truly unique.

White Dragon Hindra Star. Also known as Buntang Lizard.

Considering the lifespan of a dragon, this is a relatively young individual, and he has been interfering with the human alliance to an absolutely disgusting extent throughout the past four years of war.

He comes and goes here and there across the wide front lines that span the entire continent, overturns battles that were almost won, cuts off supply routes, starves the entire corps, and is annoying anyway.

There are more than one commander who suffered nervous breakdowns and hair loss because of that guy.

However, surprisingly, he never went into battle directly.

All it does is suddenly appear, blow its breath into the air, cast the dragon’s special ability, ‘Dragon Roar’, mess up the battle scene, and then disappear quietly.

The first scene I witnessed at the front after receiving the mission to exterminate Hindra Star was truly spectacular.

As soon as Hindra Star appeared, both animals and people were busy running away, so tents were destroyed, food was spilled, and weapons were thrown away… .

The mere sight of the dragon’s shadow makes me startle and turn over, but it’s strange that I’m still fine since I’ve heard the dragon’s thunderous breath and the dragon’s unique roar that scares the weakest beings into submission.

Even in this fantasy world, dragons are extremely rare monsters that are treated as semi-legendaries.

The funny thing is that even the demons on the scene were so confused that they all scattered, so when Hindra Star appears, it is correct to say that the battle is completely ruined for both sides.

In response to this, the Imperial Intelligence Department came up with an analysis that Hindrastar appears to have participated in the war just for the sake of ‘difficulty’.

Although they move on the side of the Demon King’s army, they do not openly cooperate with the Demon King’s army. It is questionable whether there is a contract between them or whether there is such a thing as a contract.

In addition, the basis was that the dragon appeared suddenly, threw the battlefield into chaos, and then disappeared repeatedly, and had no history of mass destruction, which is quite possible.

So, Hindra Star was given the nickname ‘Bunchang Lizard’, and Linus and I, who had been promoted to officers at the time and became members of the Special Forces, were given the task of eradicating it.

After traveling around the entire continent for several months to the point of getting portal sick, I received intelligence that Hindrastar was moving towards the rear of the retreating noble army.

I almost hit him there, but unfortunately I missed. In the meantime, he met the Duke of Toulouse, who was one of the commanders of the noble army at the time.

Perhaps even then, Hindrasta did not intend to exterminate the noble army, but simply wanted to see the humans running wild in fear.

Anyway, fortunately, Hindra Star disappeared completely after the war and did not show up even after the war, so I thought it was dead or hibernating in its nest.

But who would have thought that we would suddenly meet at the Academy with pink hair and pigtails?

Why on earth does it have to look like that… ?

Even as his thoughts reached this point, Hindrasta continued to stand there motionless.

I was hungry so I spoke first.

“Hey, are you listening? Just stay quiet. Don’t just scratch and make a mess.”

Since Hindrasta has never directly caused any damage, it is very difficult to charge him with any serious crime.

If you say, ‘I was just going on an outing outside the nest, but you arbitrarily misunderstood my intentions,’ there is nothing to say.

On the contrary, if you say, ‘I’m glad that it ended on that level even after making a fuss around my nest,’ it’s a pain in the ass.

Therefore, unlike the demons and other traitorous intelligent races who were tried for war crimes, the Hindrastars were not wanted or tracked down, and were gradually forgotten by the world.

So, if you live quietly while hiding your appearance from now on, you will be able to live a long and healthy life without any problems.

“Do you understand? Because you’re smart, you know what I mean? Even though Linus and I beat you up, you’re a dragon so you recovered quickly… .”

“Thank you.”

Hindrasta opened his mouth, interrupting me.

“Okay. Thank you, right? What kind of person in the world would give life advice to a dragon? If you know, go back quickly… .”

“I wondered what would have happened if I had died during that time.”

Hindrasta interrupted again.

“I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get revenge, but I’m so thankful that I survived and was fine.”

“What?”

I felt a subtle air current begin to flow through Hindrasta’s body. The aura that only extremely strong beings like dragons can use has been activated.

Ha, that’s really… .

“An imbecilic guy. I shouldn’t have said that the yellow-headed guy wasn’t here.”

Hindra Star slowly approached me, glowing with aura.

“You must be quite foolish to let your enemy know that you are defenseless?”

“What are you talking about, really? It’s not that I’m not smart, it’s just that it doesn’t really matter whether Linus is there or not. And you!”

He raised his finger and pointed at Hindrasta’s feet.

“Stop coming closer!”

Then Hindrasta grinned.

“Are you afraid?”

“That’s not it, the floor is all ruined!”

The pavement that had been stepped on by Hindrasta’s shoes, which had activated the aura, was cracking. There are already dozens. Fixing that all costs money.

If you’re repairing something old, you’re spending money on the school’s budget that you don’t necessarily need to spend.

I already have a lot of places to spend my budget, but tsk.

“I have to kill you here and clear up the shame of 10 years ago!”

The Auror danced wildly on Hindrasta’s shoulder.

When I saw that, I knew that words wouldn’t make sense.

Dragons are arrogant and stubborn, so once they decide to do something, they will do it until the end.

Moreover, Hindra Star is a dragon with a humiliating history of running away after being beaten by humans who treated it like scum.

Since he has decided to seek revenge and Linus is not here, he must have concluded that he can at least punish me, and there is nothing in this world that can stop it.

Now, I don’t want to fight a dragon that I have no personal feelings towards, but I have no choice.

If that guy were to go back to the main body, it is certain that the residential area here would be destroyed.

When you consider the cost of restoring it, it is much cheaper to defeat that guy here.

And I had another idea besides that.

That’s what came to mind right after I found out that that girl named ‘Sophie’ was a polymorphed Hindrastar, and that thought was… .

“Die!”

Hindrasta rushed towards me, tearing the paving stones to pieces.

As expected from a dragon, the density of auras was so enormous that it felt like an invisible wall was closing in.

If you stick that into the ground, the paving stone will be damaged again… .

After making a decision in the short moment when Hindra Star was rushing in, I tore the Auror to the left and right with both hands and grabbed Hindra Star’s neck.

“Kek!?”

Hindrasta, who was grabbed by the neck, looked at me with puzzled eyes.

“Uh, why… ?”

“Why? It’s a natural result.”

“Obviously… I’m alone… ?”

He pulled Hindrasta by the neck and kicked him in the abdomen with his knee.

“Wow!”

With a short groan, Hindrasta’s body went limp.

If you’re a fan of dragons in the first place, the number doesn’t really matter whether it’s one or two.

So you thought you could kill me in a polymorph state, so you didn’t change into your original form?

You idiot.

First of all, when you wake up, let’s talk.

A good idea occurred to me.

If we use this guy well, he can greatly contribute to the development of our academy.

I lifted the fainted Hindrasta on my shoulders and headed to the infirmary.
