Ace Dragon Rider
Chapter 29 - 25 Group Fight
All along, Arin and Wesley had been with Long Yi. But now that Long Yi was in hospital, the only time they could visit him was during their breaks in between classes.
Early in the morning, as usual, Arin and Wesley had breakfast together. Just as they were leaving the cafeteria, Wesley began to feel uneasy. He vaguely perceived that they were being followed by more than a dozen people who were getting closer and closer.
"Not good! Let’s run!" Wesley whispered, however, at that moment, another dozen or so people appeared in front of them. Judging by their attire, they were from the second-year Land Forces Department.
"Hey there, where are you off to in such a hurry?"
The leader of the group came forward, a smug smile on his face.
"What, did the second-year Air Force Division lose, and now the Land Forces Department wants a go?" Wesley scoffed, but deep down he was worried. It was clear that these people were after him and Arin, and their intentions were far from friendly. Wesley tried to summon his Observation Dragon, but the dormitory was too far away. He could only feel the dragon’s position but couldn’t summon it.
The man from the opposite side burst into laughter and pointed at Wesley, "Wesley, I know your type. You got yourself a tiny Observation Dragon, eavesdropping on gossip since you were a kid, and you’ve been beaten up quite a few times. Just the thought of a dumbass like you owning a Flying Dragon and being part of the Air Force makes me sick. Think the Air Force is amazing? Without our Land Forces, your Air Force would’ve been shot down a long time ago with Dragon-hunting Cannons!"
At these words, Wesley retorted sarcastically, "What, you came all this way just to complain about the unfairness of the academy? I have wings, I’m part of the Air Force. If you can, why don’t you try to fly as well?"
"Right! That’s the spirit, I’ve got to see whether your bones are tougher or my fists."
The man, furious, laughed and rushed towards Wesley. He didn’t use his dragon fighting aura; during these campus fights, if someone were to use the dragon fighting aura carelessly, the situation could escalate quickly. Generally, people didn’t dare use it.
Arin watched as the man was charging with ferocious momentum while Wesley stood between them, his heart pounding. Here it was again, the same scenario where he was hiding behind others. Would he spend his entire life hiding behind others? He had hidden behind his father, then his brother, earlier behind Long Yi, and now, Wesley.
If there was someone by his side, he would invariably hide behind them.
Was he a coward?
How disgraceful.
Alli’s body began to tremble slightly, but at this moment, the silhouette of a towering figure appeared in her mind.
Long Yi.
What would Long Yi do in such a situation?
If it was Long Yi, these guys would’ve probably been beaten down already.
How great it would be if she could be like Long Yi.
Be like Long Yi?
At this moment, Arin’s eyes widened in realization.
I’m not Long Yi, I don’t have his strength, but why can’t I stand up like Long Yi? I’ve been protected by others for so long. When did I, who had been a prodigy since childhood, become so cowardly?
I . . .
I!!
"Stop!"
With a weak voice, a figure emerged from behind Wesley and stood in front of him.
It was Arin!
At this moment, Arin’s heart was about to leap out of her chest. She had never confronted an enemy head-on before. She felt her stomach contract, her legs tremble uncontrollably. She even wanted to turn around and run away!
But, I can’t run!
If I run this time, I will never be able to come back!
"Oh? Look who’s finally stepped out from behind others? Are you here to make us laugh? Look at you, skinny like a woman, and your fair and pale face, you better find a rich woman to keep you. Why even bother being a Dragon Knight? The Dragon Knight Legion of the Empire is being tainted by losers like you. You’re one of them, and so is Wesley, and that Long Yi, he’s the worst of all!"
The man noticed Arin’s apprehension and pointed at him, shouting loudly. He didn’t come here for a fight originally, after all, the aftermath of a private duel could be light or severe, and no one wanted to stir up trouble.
"Long Yi is not a loser!"
Slap!
With a crisp yell, Arin’s fist landed on the man’s face. Despite his small frame, Arin’s punch made the man stagger!
"Bloody brat! Looking for death!"
Thump!
A punch landed on Arin’s face, knocking his thin body right into Wesley. Wesley chuckled bitterly, let the fight unfold!
There were more than thirty opponents. Almost instantly, the two were engulfed. At that moment, the juvenile roar of Arin’s Mercury Dragon echoed. It charged over, forming a layer of armour around Arin’s body. However, this armor was not very hard and provided limited protection.
At this moment, Arin somehow managed to stay close to Wesley.
"Wesley, go and get help quickly, find a teacher, instructor, and the fat and thin brothers, hurry!"
Arin was desperately protecting Wesley. At this point, Wesley’s nose was already broken, and his face was covered in blood. But how could he leave?
"No, they’ll kill you!"
"I have armor, Silver Light will protect me! You get out of here now!"
With that, Arin, somehow mustering unknown strength, broke through the encirclement of the crowd and actually threw Wesley out. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Bastard!
Without looking back, Wesley turned and ran. I’m not a deserter! I really don’t want to run! But...
Wesley hated himself more than ever. Why don’t I have the power like Long Yi? Why didn’t I bring my Observation Dragon with me?
I’m such a damn waste!

At this time, it was class time, looking at the schedule, it was the Dragon Language class.
Dragon Language is very important, Long Yi understood this very clearly. In the future, both Fighting Aura skills and magic would rely heavily on Dragon Language. He wasn’t very good at it, but he firmly believed that diligence compensates for lack of talent. And so, dragging his aching body, filled with fear of the female elf teacher, he slowly pushed open the classroom door.
"Reporting!"
Long Yi wanted to shout out loud, but his lungs were still hurting badly, his voice weak.
The elven teacher was in the middle of class, looking dispirited. She had been so ever since Long Yi was hospitalized. Seeing Long Yi now, an unusual glow filled the elven teacher’s face.
Facing such a look that seemed to be admiring a kitten or puppy, Long Yi didn’t believe the elf fell in love with him! The aesthetic sense of elves is completely different from humans! What the hell does this elf want to do? Wait, what does the private tutoring from the beautiful and sexy elf teacher after class mean? Why did it suddenly pop up in my mind? Hold on! Why are the elf teacher’s clothes getting fewer and fewer?
Slap!
Long Yi raised his hand to cover his eyes. Immediately, all illusions disappeared, and the elven teacher’s face was filled with disappointment.
Damn it!
That was close!
What the hell is this elven girl doing! Suddenly she threw enchantment over, if I hadn’t just awakened the Giant’s bloodline, once my pants tent, my reputation would’ve been tarnished. If you like me, just say it, I’ll immediately tell you I have a girlfriend. It’s not good for you to suddenly attack me like this, how do you expect me to explain to Elsa if I couldn’t hold back?[][One more Chapter in the afternoon~]
