The dragon's harem

Arad walked back into the firing range, seeing Gojo sitting there on a stone, waiting for him. "You're back." He said with a smile, "And…she's on your shoulder."

"You can see her? I thought she was completely invisible." Arad tilted his head. Betty's legs that were wrapping around his neck weren't thick enough to stop him.

"I can't see her. But I feel a mass around your shoulder. She's the only one who can hide. It could also be my senses that are messed up." Gojo tapped his head.

"She's indeed there." Arad nodded as Gojo stood so they could keep testing magic and components.

"Aron!" The teacher from before approached Arad with hastened steps, growing beneath his broken nose. "You've finally back from the chairman's office."

"Yeah." Arad replied, "I'm not writing anything for you."

"That won't last long, 'cause it's…" The teacher stopped talking as he saw two diamond eyes glaring at him above Arad's shoulders.

"Since you're doing this now. I suspect you've been doing this for years." Betty said, "Demoted to a lab counter. Get to your new post now."

The teacher's face paled, "But… chairman…"

"Rule 58, students own their inventions, unless they don't want to take it's responsibility, then the university would cover for them and publish it without mentioning their name. It's not for you to decide." Betty stared at him, pointing toward the nearest building, "Get out of my sight, or I'll fire you on the spot and open an investigation for all writing published under your name."

The teacher ran away, and Betty sighed on Arad's shoulder. "He shouldn't bother you again."

"If you see anything in the university with your magic, you must know if he has forced other students to write off their writing or whatever they are called."

"I don't spy on everyone. What do you think I am? I've only been watching you two as you're void dragons. It's rare to see your kind around." She smiled, disappearing once again.

"I hope she doesn't get in the way." Gojo approached Arad, "Let's keep testing, what do you have next?"

"I've got this." Arad pulled a small piece of silk. "We got it yesterday from demon spiders. This one was collected from a regular spider in the forest before the dungeon spawned, so it's quite common."

"Wasn't that for Jack?"

"I gave him something better. The one I pulled out of the boss." Arad smiled, handing half the silk to Gojo and keeping half.

"So what spell should I use with this?" Gojo looked at the silk threads, they looked more like a flaccid rope than spider webs, probably because the demon spiders were large. Read Web s Online Free - Fire Fire -

"I didn't find this, it was Aisha who toldabout it. Demon spiders don't sense vibration from their webs, but instead, they sense electrical pulses transmitted alongside the thread."

"We're charged?"

"No, the threads are, touching them causes the charge to move to you, and then they'll replenish from the spider, so it can sense when that happens, where, and how big the target is based on how much current was drawn." Arad shook the spider silk in his hand. "We can't use it to detect like spiders in a spell, but we can do the reverse."

Arad started rubbing his silk and made it longer, like a dough. "It's surprisingly moldable, so make as long as you are comfortable with it." Arad made his around three meters tall and then lifted his arm.

[Shocking Grasp] A 0-tier spell that works like a taser, you touch someone and electrocute them.

"This thread is conductive, so I can use it like a lightning whip, mimicking the effects of a 3-tier spell with a 0-tier one." Arad started swinging his lightning whip everywhere.

Gojo tried it as well, and it was working nicely. "But…" Arad stopped swinging as his whip disintegrated. "It doesn't last long, about two minutes at best."

"But since the threads are cheap, this could give a weak wizard access to a powerful spell, and without needing mana to cast it." Gojo smiled as his whip disintegrated as well. "It's amazing how far humanoids can go to make power out of nothing."

"Struggle of the weak." Betty said, her eyes showing above Arad's head. "Don't underestimate humanoids, especially humans. Dragons might hold might, but the powerless ones are the ones to always stand at the peace of legends." She tapped Arad's head.

"Yeah." Arad said, "I know Alcott. He's a living proof of humanity's strength, albeit I can barely call him human."

Betty giggled, "Since I'm the chairman, lettell you one thing about history. Do you know where humans cfrom?"

Gojo stared at her, "Adam, the father of humanity."

"Yes, that man is still alive in the heavens, a human that stood above all humans. Legends say that he's the current overgod's father, and had managed to beat both the overgod and the god slayer combined. As a human, and with his bare fists, no tricks, straight hands." She stared at Gojo. "And he isn't divine, he's just a human, that above all humans."

"As one red dragon one said." Arad looked at her, "One strong individual doesn't change how everyone is looked on. Most humans are still too weak to survive monsters."

"You're right in that part as well. What I'm saying is to never underestimate a human, as they could surprise you with strength beyond what you expect." She started dangling her legs, hitting Arad's chest.

"I know two such people." Arad remembered Jack and Lydia. He could imagine Jack pulling scrazy trap, or Lydia simply punching him in the face so hard he goes flying, that isn't beyond her as she had punched the devil lord of the second layer of hell.

^But, that's the hero and his shield… I guess they are a bit more special than other humans.^

"Really?" Gojo stared at her with a sad face. "I wanted to test schants."

"I don't know what to do with your class." She glared at Arad, "Since that brat relocated your teacher."

Two diamond eyes showed above Arad's head, "Don't worry, Lena is coming, I already called her." Betty replied.

"Then we should end the day." Lucia sighed, "I've heard that Jack Bertha had cto his class today and is causing a lot of trouble. Would you present in the meeting to see how to deal with him?"

Arad blinked, he knew that Jack had already trapped the whole place and had several escape routes and decoys prepared, they wouldn't ever catch him.

[=w=] Betty looked away, she had seen Jack trapping the whole place and knew it was going to be a pain to get him to present at their meeting. He won't listen to any advice despite being the top student.

"I have something important to do so I'll skip this meeting. Jack is smart enough to handle himself well." She disappeared.

"Fine. Let's head back to class and then you can leave."

About half an hour later, Arad walked out of the campus, meeting the girls heading to the dorms. Everyone looked fine, except Eris who seemed a bit rough.

"What did happen?" Arad asked.

"Just stressed, I got in trouble due to the chairman's call." She sighed.

"Sorry." Betty appeared above Arad's head, lifting her hand as she stared at Eris.

Eris glared at her for a moment, before lunging in with a fist. "At least make it so everyone can see that damn thing!" She swung at her face.

CLING! Betty disappeared from Arad's shoulders and appeared standing on Eris's head, her claw-like toenails digging into her scalp. "You can't catch me."

SWOSH! Eris pulled a steel spear from her pocket and started swinging at Betty, but all of her attacks missed. To the light speed of the chairman, Eris looked awfully slow.

"Let's take this outside." She flicked her finger and teleported everyone outside the university's premises and into the wilderness.

"Your husband's brother blasted my demi-plan so we have to play here. Don't destroy the environment too much." Betty stared at them with a smile she started tying her long hair.

Eris sighed, "I'm not stupid enough to fight you." She stabbed the spear in the ground.

"You're all his wives, this is a dragon's pride. Does that mean the strongest wife rules?" She stared at them, "Who is it, the one I have to beat?"

CLANG! In a split second, Aella, Eris, and Merida had their weapons pointing at Betty's neck. "All of us." Since Mira can't fight, she stepped back.

"A spear, a bow, and a sword." Betty smiled, "You lack a mage and a brawler, I can fill both." She opened her palm and her nails turned into mirror-like claws.

Looking up at them, Betty giggled, "I do have a complex about my height, and looking up at you like this is annoying. So I'll be stepping on all of you."

"You're free to try." they growled at her, but five seconds later, they were stacked up like fish with her standing above them. "You're all too slow." And she burst laughing.

"Did you see that Arad? I'm strong!" She smiled. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt

Mira approached her. "The fight is over, get off them." She pulled her by the hand and Betty gently hopped down.

"Thank you, you're the only nice one who didn't fight." Betty seemed to start liking Mira more than the rest.

BANG! Betty gasped, blood dripping from her lip as she saw a nail stuck on her side. BANG! BANG! BANG! And then three other nails pierced her.

Mira stared at her with a smile as her wrist smoked. She had a small wrist nail gun that she made by studying Jack's artificial arm cannon and making it smaller, that was only possible by using Selica's spit instead of gunpowder.

"That's dirty." Betty glared at Mira.

"I'm a weak human, trickery is the only way we can resist." Mira looked at Eris who was still half knocked out.

"Heal her before she dies." Mira said but Eris wasn't responding.

Arad approached them with a healing potion, "That was good practice, and gave it to Betty. He did want to ask her to fight his wives at least once so they could experience what it feels like to face something far faster than them, but he didn't expect her to do it on her own, let alone Mira to be the winner."

"Good Job," Arad patted Mira's head. "What matters is that you win and survive. It isn't called trickery, it's called playing smart."
