Beast Taming? Nah, Dragon Herding is Way Better! - Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Primaria Class
While it is true that Diluc thinks that this lady he previously met is definitely someone of a high position within the academy given her might in terms of both magic and martial arts, what he doesn’t really expect is the fact that she’s the principal of the academy, being all that volatile and all.

‘Is she even capable of properly managing this place?’ he asked himself as he recalls how easily she gets triggered by specific words, and not even that specific, as so long as she can connect the words that comes out from the mouth to one of her insecurities, he feels like she is definitely going to explode and beat the one who said those words into pulp.

Should this emperor-like young man comes to find out the very same thing oftentimes occurring inside the mind of the staffs and faculty of the academy, he, along with those people, will definitely find some sense of camaraderie between them, something that only them will share given that the other students seem to be blinded by the glorious light coming out of the principal of the academy.

Who wouldn’t? as rumors of her unrivaled beauty is often told among the tales of bards across the entire kingdom and the lands beyond that, what more than her beauty is her brain and brawn that seems to just make her the throne among all of the geniuses of her generation, acquiring the title of the Frost Heaven War Goddess after all the times that she had dominated the battlefield of war just by her sheer presence alone.

And now, this very figure of tales and living legends is not about to appear in front of them, making even the nobles who are quite displeased with her approach to the management of this academy quite looking forwards to her appearance, after all, it is rare seeing such beauty with talents not only for cultivation but a great character and an even greater wits to come with it.

Having very different mental image of this beauty in their minds, both Diluc and his roommate Michael waits for the arrival of this principal, her arrival being more modest that what Diluc expected.

What surprises him the most is the figure of the person that comes out from behind the stage, making him doubt whether the Aria Frostborn he fought inside the spatial domain in the fourth layer is something of a remnant from the past or something, but given that he saw the looks in her eyes as she also saw him, he immediately scratches that thought out of his mind.

“Is this her true appearance?” Diluc mutters to himself as he observes the lady now taking over the stage from the beast kin beauty that is Aeonia, her elegant figure mesmerizing even the greatest of wills among the people here, something that made also made Diluc stunned for a while before he recovers first among all the students here given that he already saw beauties of this level nearly every day, and three of them at that.

Standing at a relatively taller height compared to the average of those ladies from this kingdom, this white-haired, horned beauty shows traces of maturity and youthfulness on her fair, elegant, heart shaped face, contained in them are large almond eyes with an also large, pale blue pupils on them, making her appear quite innocent if not for the experienced light beneath her mesmerizing eyes, eyes adorned with a straight, long eyelashes just a shy darker shade of her hair color, the very same color as the straight eyebrows on top of her eyes.

Her cute straight nose connects beautifully to her small, crimson red lips, the only trace of hot color on her face, except for the slight pink on her cheeks, said lips bearing a bit thicker lower part than normal that made her look all the more attractive to anyone’s eyes, even disregarding the gender of the viewer.

What made her even more attractive is the perfect hourglass-shape figure completely different from her appearance from when Diluc first saw her, the figure probably even spilling through her clothes had it been not for her wearing a mage robe that really doesn’t do anything all that significant to hide this figure of hers.

The cherry at the top of this all is the peculiar aura she is commanding as she just stands there, invoking an awe-inspiring feeling among all of the young people here as if she’s an experience general about to turn the odds with her troops alone despite the overwhelming number of the enemies, a feeling that made even the strongest of will among the student just want to follow her.

Seeing that the students, no matter whether they are the new ones or the old faces that she already saw in the academy from the previous years, are all settled and mesmerized with her appearance, the white-haired horned beauty on the stage couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to herself in her mind before she starts speaking, starting with a warm greeting causing her elegant, mature and graceful voice to resound all across the entire Primaria Auditorium.

“Vice-principal Aeonia already mentioned it to all of you but let me tell you this again, as the principal of the Flammenherz Sky Academy, as well as the representative of all the staffs here, welcome to our academy, and given that all of you passed the first part of the entrance exams, you are now all part of the academy, a part of this large family of ours” the white-haired beauty said with a welcoming, warm smile on her face before her face returns into that of a modest smile paired with the slightly serious expression to it.

“Now, all the new students might be wondering as we all mentioned, first part of the entrance exam here, first part of the entrance exam there, it’s about nigh time someone explains to all of you about that right? So let this principal of yours talk about that” she added as she starts showing off her might to the students, manifesting her ice elemental mana in order to create a complete, perfectly replicated scaled copy of the entire academy, showing just how much control she has over her magic, and making the students and even some newer staff wonder just how she can achieve that without using magic circle to cast her magic.

‘Her draconic magic is really impressive’ Diluc thought to himself as he notices that this horned beauty is merely whispering in the air as she uses the mana in the surrounding to form that replica of the entire academy premises in near instantaneous amount of time, compared to him who still need to pronounce words in an audible volume in order to use draconic magic otherwise known as the dragon tongue.

[Once you reach that kind of realm, you will no longer need even a whisper just to cast dragon tongue of this degree]

The system pointed out making Diluc think that it seems to be oddly competitive for him, something that he doesn’t expect from the Dragon Herding System who seems to be all for selling the things he looted for what he thinks is a quite low o a price.

‘I’m just pointing out, besides, that’s for the future right, it’s still impressive for the me right now’ Diluc retorted as he smiles wryly towards the words on the floating gray screen, his reply not garnering another word from the Dragon Herding System.

“The second part of the entrance exams is very simple, it’s purpose? To see which among you new students will be placed on the Primaria class, well, you can think of this class as the star section of their year, the ones who are supposed to be the best of the best among their peers…”

“There are two hundred and forty students among all of the freshmen, a consistent number across all the other years, previously, all of you are divided into six classes with forty students on each class but that is just the front, some sort of thing we promised to the rich men and women supporting the academy…” the principal, Aria, speaks as on one of the vacant spaces among the place in the academy, what is supposed to be a forest as told by the instructors and staffs during their time roaming around in the break, a place starts to replace it, a place where only the staffs as well as the older students are aware of.

“There are actually seven classes as I’ve decided myself, one class only has thirty students while the rest of the six other classes has the remaining two hundred and ten students in them, with thirty five students each class, and well, that one unique class is the Primaria of that year, the gathering of the greatest talents among all of the students of their age” Aria explains with a hint of anticipation on her face as she wonder who will come out on top of this year’s fresh batch of talented students.
