Back at the academy, inside the dorms. The group was currently relaxing in their room together. Most people would usually go out around the city once their training had finished but these days the group often went straight to their dorms.

  This was because each one of them was frightened about what could happen to them. They were scared of the possibility of being assassinated while outside, so whenever they could, they would remain indoors.

  Gary and Ray were the only ones that seemed to not be too bothered about the things happening around them. Gary would spend most of his time training or at the library researching and Ray had always been a solo person.

  Everyone was in mid-conversation and talking about whether they thought the city would be at war soon like many of the rumours had suggested. When suddenly, each one of them received a notification at the same time. It was the notification about the Dragon's roar.

  The room went silent as everyone read the notification.

  "Dra…dra……dragon's roar!" Kyle shouted. "What is this, who is this Nes person?"

  Monk then lifted up his arm to take a closer look at the marking on his shoulder.

  "Now that I think about it, doesn't this look a bit like a dragon's head?"

  Everyone then proceeded to look at the marking and suddenly realised, it did indeed resemble that of a dragon's head.

  "Wait isn't the group called Red wings." Martha said, "What have we gotten ourselves into?"

  Meanwhile, Slyvia was currently in the middle of a meeting with Von. She had seen the notification screen but she wasn't able to react to it. Slowly though Slyvia was starting to piece things together, the Dragonhead marking, the name of the group, it was all related to the legendary Dragon Sen.

  Slyvia thought the most likely reason for Nes to do this, was to cause a stir in the world. The dragon was known as a powerful force but hadn't been seen for the last 100 years. If there was anything that could go up against these powerhouses such as the Dark guild, the Empire and the Shadow plague,? then the only thing she could think of was a dragon.

  Von on the other hand, who was standing beside Slyvia was shaking with excitement. He had a different view of the dragon compared to everyone else. There was a reason why the Divine being had named the founders of Avrion Dragon knights.

  Back at the swamp, Ray was currently stood in muddy water that covered his entire boots. He had just finished activating his skill, Dragon's roar. Ray hadn't tested the skill out before so he was surprised to see that skill made Ray do some sought of battle cry. It seemed like he had no control over it either, it was compulsory if he wanted to activate the skill.

  Suddenly, Ray's Dragon eyes could see red auras all heading in his direction. The Dragon Roar had attracted all the Beasts in the area. The basic tier beasts seemed to have been too intimidated by the roar and instead of coming towards Ray, were scurrying off.

  The only thing coming towards Ray now was intermediate beasts and this was exactly what Ray wanted.

  The fastest of the beasts that were approaching him travelled in the muddy water. It was faster than all the others and there were six of them coming from a different direction.

  "Ready," Ray said to his clone.

  The clone nodded and took a fighting stance.

  When the beasts were only a few feet away, they all jumped out at Ray and his clone at the same time. The beasts had a long wavy body and stood 8 feet tall and about 2 feet wide. They were Battle Snakes.

  Ray wasn't worried though. The Battle snake opened its mouth wide with its piercing fangs, hoping to inject its prey with its deadly poison but Ray stood there completely still. Before the snake could even reach him he had grabbed the snake right underneath its head and immediately squeezed as hard as he could crushing the small bones in the snake's neck, a near-impossible task unless you had great strength.

  The other snakes continued to attack him and Ray dealt with each one with a single blow. Once all the snakes were dealt with, there were still plenty of other creatures left that were coming after him. Crocodile like creatures, Giant Hornets, Mud golems and so on.

  The beasts were just too easy for Ray to deal with, defeating all of them with his clone.

  Behind one of the trees in the swamp was a brother and sister pair named Candy and Tuffy. They had just recently joined a guild and had become adventures. They were out hunting in the swamp for their first time when they heard a loud roar. The basic tier beast they were fighting suddenly ran off in the opposite direction.

  Candy wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, she was afraid that it would be a high tier beast they wouldn't be able to deal with but Tuffy let his curiosity get the better of him. They had grown up near the swamp area their whole life, so he was confident he could outrun whatever beast they would come across in the swamp.

  That's when the two of them spotted Ray and his clone. They hid behind the tree watching the adventurer deal with each creature with ease.

  "They must both be at least A class adventures to deal with them like that?" Candy said.

  "Oh please, he's clearly being reckless, he will tire out eventually," Tuffy replied.

  The two continued to watch Ray fight the beats until eventually, they were none left. They stood there in awe, they wanted to run out and ask who the man was. It was best for them to be on good terms with an adventurer as powerful as this but they weren't sure if the adventurer would treat them kindly.

  There were many stories of Na?ve adventures dying to bandits and so on. While the two were debating on what to do, they suddenly heard the man speak.

  "You two can come out from behind that tree," Ray said
