[BL] Daily Disposable Persona

6: Child of the Wind 06

Just how rich was this Dragon Group?!

Zong Yan was deeply shocked.

"It's fine. They mainly do it because it's so profitable, and there are a lot of sponsors...

"Oh, that's right, I forgot you didn't activate a translation pattern."

After He Yuan skillfully ordered his own meal, he turned back and saw Zong Yan sitting there in a daze, so he leaned over. "What do you want to eat? Let me help you."

Zong Yan gave him a disdainful look and lowered his head again. He made a few quick taps on the tablet, then pushed it aside. "I'm done ordering. What's a pattern?"

"Oh, that's okay then." He Yuan didn't think about it much. After all, there were pictures on the menu. If Zong Yan couldn't read French, he could still see the pictures.

"Magic patterns are what ordinary people use to fight. A talented Awakened like you can just wave his hand."

Zong Yan thought to himself that really wasn't possible.

After the long conversation they'd had previously, Zong Yan now possessed a preliminary understanding of the Awakened. He knew the mistake he'd made.

The Awakened were ranked according to the types of elements they could manipulate. For example, Zong Yan was uniquely honored because as soon as he'd awakened, he was Monarch level.

But at the same time, Zong Yan had learned that a true Monarch level was a formidable existence that could manipulate nine elements at will. According to He Yuan, the ninth Monarch who'd just ascended the throne, whose name was Si Yan, could create a wall of fire with a wave of his hand and pull a lightning bolt down from the sky.

Counterfeit Monarch Zong Yan: ...

With his E-rank abilities, when we waved his hand he'd toss a glass of water at the enemy. Why was the gap so big?

"Don't worry, you just woke up and haven't had Secondary Awakening yet. It's normal for the power to be unstable now."

Earlier, when they'd done detailed testing of his abilities, He Yuan had consoled Zong Yan.

"When you're eighteen or nineteen, you'll experience Second Awakening. That's when you'll become a genuine Monarch level. Although you could announce it to the world right now and claim the throne of the tenth Monarch, the commander thinks it's better to keep a low profile before your Second Awakening."

"Low profile? Does that mean there are different camps of Awakened based on country?"

"Quite the opposite," He Yuan denied. "Having a low profile is a kind of protection... Sometimes it's not just humans who look human. There are also creatures cloaked in human skin.

"Alright, well, wait until you go to Miskatonic University. The senior investigators there will teach you everything, including the use of magic patterns and the types of beings we're fighting as Awakened."

"... I'm still a high school student, and you want to send me to college? It's summer vacation."

Zong Yan felt like he'd been struck by lightning.

It hadn't been easy for him to finally get to summer vacation, and he wanted to enjoy it as much as possible. But now they were telling him to go to some Miskatonic University or something. After he filled out the Awakened paperwork for the Dragon Group, the fax machine automatically spat out an admission letter for Miskatonic University. Zong Yan's name was neatly handwritten on it, just like a notice from Hogwarts' owl.

"Miskatonic University is open year-round. Senior investigators are always on the front line of fighting against otherworldly beings."

He Yuan chuckled a little. Zong Yan, who heard it, felt this laughter was full of schadenfreude. "It's the cradle of all Awakened. Every member of the Dragon Group graduated from there, but it's not just the Dragon Group. Awakened from all over the world basically have to go there.
