Petra rubbed her eyes and double-checked before pointing at Aya and asking, "This face is indeed Aya, but why is he in a maid outfit?"

Although she had imagined what Aya would look like in women's clothing and it seemed unexpectedly fitting, why would he appear in this situation?

"I think you're focusing on the wrong point?!" Aya held his head in pain and begged, "Please don't mention this again. I finally managed to not care about it!"

"So, where is the four-headed Chimera that should have been here?" Yoshua also seemed dumbfounded for a while before snapping back to reality from the beautiful appearance of his sister dressed as a dragon, blushing and pushing his glasses up while holding his staff.

"Well..." Aya chuckled awkwardly, feeling slightly embarrassed.

...

The scene went back to the room where two young dragonlings were being held before the match started.

"This guy is too useless, isn't he?"

Aya stood in front of the four-headed Chimera that had roared mightily at him just a few seconds ago and poked one of its heads, which was currently cowering on the ground.

The next second, the poor creature quickly shrunk and shivered like an electrically shocked hamster, with all four heads curled up in fear.

This was a pure-blooded Dragon without any suppressed aura, and it was exerting its dominance as a Golden Dragon over other creatures. Compared to intelligent beings who could resist some of the influence with their rationality, low-intelligence monsters clearly showed a more obvious reaction when faced with the pressure of a higher-ranked creature.

This was especially true for the semi-dragon hybrid such as the young dragonling with impure Dragon blood in its veins.

"I must say, you should be one of the more advanced dragonlings, right? Why are you so cowardly?"

Aya casually walked over, the sound of his small leather shoes tapping on the floor.

In the empty room, the two large dragonlings huddled in the corners without making a sound, while the relatively petite figure in the center slowly approached the four-headed Chimera. The scene looked somewhat comical.

"Oww..."

When Aya reached the four-headed Chimera, this intimidating creature surprisingly let out two feeble whimpers, resembling a small scared dog. All four heads rolled their eyes and slinked down.

"Huh? Hey, hey? You've fainted?!"

Aya was dumbfounded. Hey, I didn't do anything, I just released a bit of pressure. What if you faint in the battle?!

The steel-feathered Winged Dragon, which was also facing the immense dragon aura in the other corner, wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and faint as well, but Aya's fierce look made it too scared to move.

"Hey, you're not planning to faint too, are you? If you really faint, I'll slice you up and eat you."

The Winged Dragon shook its head vigorously, looking pitiful and on the verge of tears.

After scaring one, Aya turned around and kicked the Chimera a few times, but it had no effect. This creature remained unconscious like a dead pig.

Although you may think that you can never wake up someone pretending to sleep because they haven't been splashed with water, this Chimera couldn't be awakened even if you did.

Tsk... This is really a headache. This creature is Milt's property, after all. I can't just blast it away with a powerful spell, can I?

...

"Miss Aya is truly a fierce dragon..."

At this point, Petra felt a bit sorry for the steel-feathered Winged Dragon that had just been beaten up by herself and her teammates. It was being intimidated and threatened but still had to participate in the match. It was really hard for it.

"Can you blame me for this?!" Aya stared angrily, feeling wronged. "They wouldn't cooperate with me and I had no choice! Besides, if I don't tame them, who knows what Tiran would do to me!"

"So, Miss Aya is..." Joshua sensed something was amiss as he listened.

"Yes, that's right, I am the great dragon now. If you want buffs, you'll have to defeat me first. Do you think the strongest propulsion buff is so easily obtained?" Aya flicked her dead fish eyes and tapped her fists together, creating a burst of air explosions.

"No way! That's impossible!" All five of them gasped simultaneously. They now knew that Aya was the dragon Tiran rode on the first day he arrived in Milt.

Challenging a dragon? They had confidence in their abilities, but this was suicidal!

"Don't worry, I won't go all out. How could I possibly kill you all? As long as you can deal some damage to me, I'll consider it a pass. Plus, I don't need dragon language magic."

Aya tapped her chest in sync, letting out a sigh of relief. You guys are reacting too realistically, by the way.

"After all, Miss Aya is a woman who can go toe-to-toe with Director Lucius," Mairen sighed.

"Hey, hold on a minute..." Aya's face turned black.

"Well then, let's get started, Miss Aya!" Petra mustered her spirits, gripping her sword with both hands.

"I've tolerated you guys for long enough! What Miss Aya? Can't you tell I'm a man?!" The dragon roared.

Sorry, I really couldn't tell at first...

"Oh well, it's fine. I've actually been interested in fighting you guys, the top students of Milt."

Aya stretched her joints and another layer of qi scale covered her body. The imposing pressure unique to dragons surged out, making the air feel heavy.

Before she could finish speaking, Joshua had already made the first move. Pointing his staff, a fist-sized azure diamond began emitting a brilliant magical radiance, instantly triggering a spell under Aya's feet.

A sharp ice pillar rose from the ground, temporarily lifting Aya into the air.

"Take this!" Ruel shielded himself with his tower shield and charged forward, displaying a speed that was completely different from his usual heavy armor image. Like a heavy artillery shell, he hit Aya in mid-air.

But it didn't have the intended effect of sending her flying and crushing her against the inner wall of the dragon pit.

"Looks like you really don't waste any time. You've learned that from Tiran, huh..."

Seemingly delicate and white, Aya's hand held back Ruel's tank-like onslaught. Fine cracks even appeared at the point where the shield met her palm.

Aya still remained suspended in mid-air, using the temporary release of her qi scale to gain the strength to support herself.

"Well, let's bring it on!" Just as Ruel managed to repel her shield, attacks from three directions simultaneously struck. Petra and Torres, two swordsmen, sent upward slashes one after another, while Ruel, now back on the ground, lifted his shield as a buffer. Mairen, leveraging the ground, leaped high into the air and threw a spear with astonishing momentum.

The arc of the blades was not even as fast as the spear that followed. Aya's fist collided squarely with the spearhead, causing sparks to fly in the impact.

After all, it was only a spear thrown by Mairen and not held in his hand. Its power was quickly depleted, sending it flying. However, at that moment, the blades had landed solidly on Aya, successfully launching her into the air.

"A bit fierce." Aya, after landing, took two steps back and touched the spot where she was hit, complaining.

Indeed, relying solely on non-dragon language magic attacks is too limited. Let me think of some other useful moves...

However, Milt's students had no intention of giving Aya the chance to think. They immediately launched another coordinated attack, with Yosha's blizzard covering the area. The icy clouds created by magic floated above Aya, and countless sharp ice spikes rained down with perfect precision.

Although Aya had excellent magical resistance and the effects of regular spells were not effective against her, it was still not without feeling. She was momentarily caught off guard.

"Then... Dragon Breath!" A resounding dragon roar came from Aya's mouth as she clenched her fist and launched it forward. The air in front of her suddenly distorted, forming a dragon-like figure from Oriental mythology, with its teeth and claws ready to strike. It instantly tore through the ice clouds above her head.

The five individuals who initially planned to surround Aya immediately assumed defensive stances in the face of such a powerful attack. However, the air pressure was not as terrifying as they had imagined.

"Inch Force · Heavenly Opening." Right at the moment when the five individuals slightly relaxed, Aya's softly spoken words reached their ears.

Though her qi scales were revealed, the punch filled with qi was the true finishing move.

Yosha reacted the quickest and immediately erected a frost barrier as the first line of defense. "Everyone, scatter!"

In the face of the golden torrent of qi, the barrier ultimately couldn't hold and shattered with a series of terrifying cracking sounds. Fortunately, Aya didn't use her full strength, so the power of this punch was also greatly reduced by the ice wall. Milt's students were only slightly disheveled.

After the ice dust settled, besides the five individuals from Milt's group, there was also a gigantic ice spear floating next to Yosha.

"Damn? So big?" This was a genuine surprise. Aya had never expected Yosha to create such a huge ice spear so quickly after the barrier. It was even more exaggerated in size than the pillars in the holy hall. Even without sharpness, just relying on its impact force was enough to turn someone into mincemeat.

With tremendous momentum, the ice spear descended from above.

But hey, underestimating me with such a clumsy attack? Way too arrogant.

"Still! Mountain! River!" Just as Aya was preparing to dodge, Ruel once again successfully fulfilled his role as a combat support.

His muscles swelled up, emitting a mighty roar before jumping in place and landing. The tower shield shattered the solid floor, and a strong shockwave, accompanied by the sound of cracking stones, hit Aya... and successfully stunned her for half a second.

There was nothing she could do. The power difference was clear, and half a second was already a miracle.

Besides, half a second was enough time.

Amidst the cheers from the spectators, the ice spear pressed Aya's body onto the ground and then shattered.

Seeing the fallen Aya, the five individuals from Milt's group were still somewhat uncertain.

"Is this considered... a victory?"

"Yeah, it really hurts..." Aya got up from the ground, rubbing her head and grinning.

"Um, Miss Aya, are you okay? Earlier, it sounded like something was breaking." Petra asked uncertainly.

"It was just my scales. I can endure more than you think." Aya sat cross-legged on the ground.

Of course, otherwise I would have been crushed by Her Royal Highness a long time ago...
