Episode 22: Guardian's Consultation

There had been a formal notice from Lair a few days ago.

- Guardian's Consultation Period

In this time period, the guardians would have a counselling session with their cadets, and talk about what they needed and what they lacked. They could then submit the record of the consultation to the teachers for reference.

It was mandatory for cadets with guardians so he was thinking of doing it soon, and this was a great opportunity.

When Yu Jitae sat on the chair next to his desk, Yeorum went and sat down on his bed. She was wearing a serious expression which was quite rare.

After a few seconds of silence, Yeorum swept her hair up with her hand repeatedly, and soon murmured after heaving out a sigh.

"You know."

"..."

"I think, I'm a bit too trash."

"..."

"That's just what I suddenly thought of. And for the past few days, I kept thinking about it."

"Did your thoughts change?"

"Yeah. I'm a huge puny piece of garbage."

She was still serious.

While sitting down on Yu Jitae's bed, she wrapped her arms around her knees.

Silence continued for a long time.

A red dragon revealing its own weakness, was a very rare thing. Including the previous iterations, Yu Jitae had known this young red dragon for dozens of years, and despite being defeated in several fights, she had never labelled herself as weak.

- I!

- I would rather die than lose to an opponent I can beat.

That was what Yeorum had said in the past, during the Anti-demon War Simulation and the Regressor knew that it wasn't a metaphoric expression.

"A few days ago, I asked for a duel with a cadet in a Level 5 society."

"Yeah."

"He was good with a sword, so I took out mine as well. Fuck, I was certain that I would be the one coming out on top."

"Then, did you lose?"

"No, I won. I won but... I didn't win with a sword."

There was only one thing that could have been used then.

"Did you use the mana inside the dragon heart?"

"Un. I was so frustrated that I wanted to break the Taboo of Amusement."

Taboo of Amusement was the lifting of polymorph.

Of course, it wasn't a taboo that had a restrictive power, but even the trash, bastard-like dragons kept this taboo as something important.

She almost lost as a human form, and thus used the power of her true body.

"I wanted to kill myself. Because I was beyond pathetic."

After saying that, Yeorum stuck her finger into her ear.

"Well, I'm just saying, that's what happened."

She then leaned back and started rolling on top of the bed. Yu Jitae stared at her for a bit. Bom talked about him taking her in as a disciple, but the red race had tremendous pride in fighting, and she had not been seeking his teaching.
