Chapter 48 I'll Bite You
update icon Updated at 2026/8/28 17:00:05

Although I was prepared, I still felt a little nervous walking back to the camp. After all, with such a big incident this time, I think experts from various empires will come out to show themselves. Due to the difference in levels, my Transfiguration might still be easily exposed. If it's revealed, then my earlier showing off will definitely be exposed too. Not to mention what will happen to the dragon girl beside me, I will surely be dissected without a doubt.

That would be terrible. I've always been low-key. If my identity is discovered, I'll have no choice but to escape in a flash, change my name, and disappear. I wonder if these titles on me will disappear as well. After all, identity is often very useful. If I were to be globally wanted again this time, I'll have to join the Red Leaf completely and become a fugitive.

Hmm... It feels like just opening up another storyline, so it's no big deal. Hmm. After comforting myself internally, I looked at Dorna Narnell beside me.

"When we get to the camp, don’t talk about other things, especially don't reveal your identity. Understand?"

"Yeah, yeah!" She nodded vigorously, still holding onto my clothes.

Well, she looks... should be fine, right?

With that in mind, we approached the camp. However, to our surprise, when we returned to the camp, we didn't face any strange questioning because the camp was already bustling with activity.

Airships coming and going, nobles, royal guards, and imperial soldiers had turned the once demolished camp into a hive of activity. People were rushing about and no one paid attention to us, a teacher and a cute girl.

I checked Aliyah and the others' locations on the mini-map and found that they were scattered. It made sense; they were probably in different classes, busy with their own class matters.

I looked at Mary's location and walked over.

On the way, I could see most of the nobles were in an angry state, seemingly blaming the school for putting their children in danger. However, they didn't dare say anything to the school because the Royal Family had its back. More importantly, they were able to send their own family members here, and I could see some families had sent people in the direction of the Dragon's Tomb, planning to dig something out, but... based on my understanding of the technology in this world, it would probably take at least ten days or half a month before they could dig anything out.

With Dorna Narnell by my side, we made our way through the crowd and finally saw the group from our class.

...

A very relaxed group.

Twenty-one people were happily playing cards!

Even the nurse who was always doing nothing!

Oh my god...

I shook my head and walked over.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?"

"Oh, Mr. Lin is back, we can go home now," Annie clapped her hands and said loudly.

"Huh?"

"Which means we were waiting for you."

Upon hearing her words, everyone packed up the cards, and headed to the airship, except for Mary, who walked over to me.

"Alright, look at our Mr. Lin, it seems you just participated in something very interesting, and then..."

Her gaze shifted to Dorna Narnell hiding behind me.

"Should I call the police?"

"Hey hey hey, you've got it all wrong."

"Kidnapping a young girl, or one from the dragon tribe, what do you think I'm misunderstanding?"

"It's completely... not what you think!"

I spoke very firmly.

"It's just a minor mishap, her father temporarily left her in my care... I mean, in our care."

Looking at Mary's kind eyes, I decided to adjust my wording.

"In our care?"

"Yes, to ensure her safety with us, after all, we have the ability, don't we?"

I pondered for a moment, and then wrote on the terminal.

'And she's a dragon girl, wouldn't our strength increase with her around? And maybe we could even obtain information about the dragon tribe, what do you think?'

Mary was taken aback for a moment, holding her chin and thinking.

"That actually makes sense... Well, since you already have Oyado, let me handle it this time..."

As she spoke, Mary reached out to grab Dornananael.

However, unexpectedly, Dornananael directly bit Mary's hand, then quickly hid behind me.

"Oh f*ck!"

Mary swore directly, reflexively casting an Ice Healing spell on herself, while taking a step back.

"This... this is just too..."

She was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.

I turned to look and saw Dornananael hiding behind me, tearfully looking at Mary.

"Well... forget it then... Since she's not willing..."

Mary sighed, then said.

"Let's go, let's quickly return to the academy, there will definitely be a lot of interesting things happening here, but it should have nothing to do with us."

"..."

I thought for a moment and nodded.

"That's true."

Anyway, we had taken some good stuff with us. Although I still had the mission to convey the contents of that meeting, considering the impact of the Undead Holy Angel's identity, it would be best to wait for the angel and the dragon tribe to come over again.

And it's better to keep a low profile during this time, pretending to be cool is admirable, but it's more valuable to keep your life. It's better to stay low-key. Thinking this way, I took Dornananael and boarded the ship back to the academy. Watching the airships flying continuously, I could only smile bitterly.

Snake eyes, you guys really can't stay idle.
