Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her-Chapter 213: Elizabeth’s Resolve
Veer was very happy with Rock's improvement and his hard work, so he officially made him his shield. They needed a permanent tank anyway.

Many times they had a minor disturbance in their coordination because of not having a proper tank in its role. Now, that problem was solved.
The Main team was now ready. They had Elizabeth for Mage and Seer role, Rain for Assassin, Aurora for Enchanter, Runemaster and Archer, and Rock as their shield and tank.
As for Elara and Veer, they both had different roles like Aurora, but unlike her, who had only one role in combat, they both had different roles in battles.
Elara worked as a tank, healer, and a fighter too. Not to mention she could use her fire manipulation to do the mage role. All in all, she was one of their strongest and most important members who was a team in herself.
Veer wasn't that different from her. He was a battle mage who controlled the battle and kept an eye on everything. He could fight like a brawler and light up things like a mage.
And because of his affinity, he could master any and all types of techniques and skills. So as long as he was given the skills and techniques, he could turn into any class.
Lastly, he was also a leader who needed to command his teammates, come up with strategies to which Aurora and Elizabeth often helped, and finally, shoulder every responsibility.
After giving Rock his official position, Veer began discussing things about the battle with the final boss with others. He had little knowledge about it, but anything was better than nothing.
As they were talking, something crashed inside their room, raising some dust. They stopped chatting and focused their attention on the new arrival.
It was Rain and alongside her was a young girl of probably sixteen. They had likely missed something and stumbled into the wall, as they picked themselves up while rubbing their heads.
"Welcome back!" Veer smiled and went towards the two of them. "How did the things go?"
The younger girl whom Veer remembered as Leah looked up at him and said, "I got everything covered. I have counted the distance and also analysed everything, including the position of rocks, their height, and everything. I also...."
Veer cut her off and asked, "Can you find the center of this island?"
"I already have!" Leah spoke with confident red eyes. "I can pinpoint every centimetre of it."
"Good! Thanks for the help!" Veer said, giving a light pat on her head which she swiftly evaded.
"Don't touch my hair, you playboy boss! My father warned me of people like you," Leah glared at him. "I am just assisting you to get out of here."
Veer just rolled his eyes and turned towards Rain, who was panting. It was surprising since speed was where she excelled, and now that same thing had exhausted her.
"You okay?" Veer asked as he extended his hand for her support.
She gladly took it and nodded, "I'm fine! I just pushed my limits by constantly running at my max speed."
"It's worth it! We can start early now," Veer said, patting her head, which she considered her reward. And it showed from the movement of her tail.
He chuckled in amusement and turned around, "Rock! Get everyone and tell them we are heading out in fifteen minutes. Pack everything they need to pack because we are not coming back here."
"Understood!" Rock said with a nod and left the room.
"What about old man?" Elara asked, and Veer could see that she was returning to normal again.
"He'll be fine!" Veer said, remembering Sikander's act which had saved them. He looked exhausted, so Veer didn't want to disturb him.
As he was contemplating those thoughts, another teenage girl entered the room, panting and sweating all over her face. She gulped and said, "Boss, Miss Elizabeth is showing signs of waking up."
Veer didn't waste any time and dashed down the corridor towards her room, with others following him closely. In just a matter of seconds, he reached her room and entered.
She was still sleeping on the bed, but her eyebrows were moving, and likewise, her eyes also showed signs of opening up.
He motioned for the others to stay back and knelt beside her bed, looking at her beautiful face. Her blue hair was scattered around her, with some falling onto her face.
Slowly, she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a good two minutes. Nobody interrupted her as they knew she needed that time to adjust herself.
Max had hoped to see some other sides of her, where she would truly show her feelings instead of her usual calm mentality that seemed to carry everything.
However, he was bound to get disappointed.
Elizabeth had seen far worse and been through a lot, so her mentality couldn't be shaken that easily. She just sighed and broke the silence.
"Where is everyone?"
Knowing that she was asking him, Veer answered, "Our main members are waiting for you to wake up just outside the room. As for the others, they are preparing to blast a hole through this island."
"So, you decided to go with that? Can't say I didn't expect it," Elizabeth chuckled softly, showing a completely different side of her than when she was seeing her vision.
She tried to sit up, and Veer helped her. He gently placed her back against a cushion and said, "I know it's useless to ask this, but I need to know: are you genuinely okay?"
"Maybe, I'm not sure this time," Elizabeth answered with a distant look in her eyes. "This time... the vision was something else... something I never expected or even thought of."
Veer stayed silent and just sat beside her, taking her hand in his, "I don't know what that is, but to even terrify you... I can only imagine. Whatever it is, I just need you to remember that you still have us. We will get over it!"
"I doubt it," Elizabeth whispered, tightening her grip on his hands. "There hasn't been a single time my visions were wrong. Maybe the ways changed, but the outcome? Never!"
She audibly sighed, "It's as if fate is mocking me by showing everything and also letting me know that I can't change it no matter what."
For the first time, Veer saw something change in her eyes as she gritted her teeth and said, "I've had enough of it! I won't let it play with me and my feelings anymore."
Her eyes burned with resolution as she declared, "I will fight it and defeat it! I will change the things that I saw in the visions. I will use those visions to change them, no matter what."
A ruthless glint passed in her eyes as she continued, "It is either I completely break or I break fate itself."
Veer was happy that she had not given up, as he had expected her to. Those visions could break anyone, especially as brutal as the ones she was receiving.
Yet, she was ready to fight fate itself.
"Good! Just tell us if you ever need our help," Veer said. "We will support you in every way."
"The best way you can support me is by not questioning me about the visions because that just makes them happen faster," Elizabeth said, looking down. "Just let me handle it and, if possible, catch the hints."
"I will! Just take care of yourself," Veer said as he stood up. "For now, you can rest, and I'll also send someone to look after you. I need to go and see how they're doing with the hole digging."
"Go! They need you more than I do," Elizabeth said, as she closed her eyes. "I need some time alone."
"Okay!" Veer said and left the room. He knew Elizabeth, so it was best to leave her alone. She wasn't someone who would give up easily or do anything rash anyway.
Coming out, he was greeted by the sight of everyone waiting for him. He nodded at them and began to walk down the corridor as they followed him.
Soon, they were joined by others. Everyone had already packed their things and was ready to begin the operation.
Veer smiled at them and instructed the girl who had informed him of Elizabeth to stay with her. She wasn't particularly combat-type and she also couldn't help much with the operation, so she happily agreed to his arrangements.
As for their safety, with Sikander there, he had nothing to worry about.
With that, they set out to find the location where they needed to dig the hole. Rock was walking at the front, with Leah sitting on his shoulder.
She occasionally gave instructions as they changed direction several times and continued to walk. Her voice was the only thing guiding them in this hell.
Veer and the others were spread out, especially Rain and Aurora, to keep an eye out for power monsters.
