The dragon's harem

Chapter 712 Alcott Strikes Again

”I have some contacts there. Iʼll get you into the new year at the start of spring.” Alcott smiled, ”But youʼll have to keep a low profile. That means no killing or causing trouble,”

”I already know that. Itʼs the whole reason Iʼm trying to come up with a way to hide my identity,” Arad replied.

”If they knew youʼre Arad Orion, most nobles would pull their kids out of the university. Thatʼll cause the year to halt,” Baltos looked at them, ”I doubt they can trust the safety of their children with a kingdom blasting dragon around.”

”Who do you intend to take?” Alcott asked.

”Probably all of my wives,” Arad replied.

”Isdis canʼt go with you.” Baltos sighed, ”She has already been there once. And sheʼs well known. Sheʼll either expose your identity or cause herself several bad rumors to start,”

Alcott nodded, ”If people saw you with her and didnʼt recognize you as her husband, they might start rumors about her cheating. That isnʼt bad in itself. I doubt that such stories keep getting made about nobles and royalty all the time,”

”The real problem is that people would be afraid that her husband would come raging to the university and blast it to ash, and the nobles would pull their children away.” Alcott looked at Arad with a grin.

”Itʼs always them afraid of me blasting the whole place,” Arad scratched his head. ”Brother is coming as well. I also invited Jack and Abel. Of course, that means Lydia and Sara are joining as well,”

”They wonʼt be a problem. If that all the ones going, itʼll be quite easy,” Alcott smiled.

”Ah, before I forget. Tempo is coming as well. He said that heʼll be coming on his own,” Arad stated.

”What?” Both Alcott and Baltos gasped, ”Tempo? You mean the Volcanic Titans prince,”

”Who else could it be?”

”I mean... heʼs indeed known for his strong sense of justice, but heʼs loud and unpredictable. Think of a fire paladin on an adrenalin rush.” Baltos rubbed his eyes.

”His skill with the sword is quite insane, and on top of that, his speed makes him a formidable opponent. Donʼt fight him, but if you did try to exploit his lack of regeneration or healing. And just like you, if pushed too hard in his humanoid form, heʼll transform into his titan body that stands over several kilometers in the air,” Alcott stared at Arad.

”Several kilometers?” Arad gasped.

”Heʼs a walking volcano, those are the titans,”

”I should be able to win by blasting him with a [Ho-white nova] in the mouth. Heʼll explode like that abomination queen did,” Arad thought, ”But I donʼt want another feat of destruction to my name. Itʼs already becoming hard to move around the world without scaring everyone.”

”You should rest until the end of winter. Iʼll take that time to contact the university and get everything ready,” Alcott looked at the room, ”You donʼt have a calendar here, do you?”

”A calendar, no,” Arad shook his head.

”Winter should have at least one month left,” Baltos replied, ”Itʼs usually a good time to start traveling to the university as itʼs quite far away, but I doubt travel is a problem for Arad.” Baltos smiled, ”Youʼre quite fast,”

”How far is it?” Arad asked, ”Four times the distance from here to the capital at least. But that includes some hard mountain passes and dangerous roads. Youʼll also have to fly by several dragonsʼ territory to get there which makes the trip dangerous.”

”I could avoid that by flying above the clouds. Most dragons donʼt bother with what flies that high,” Arad looked at the ceiling.

ZON! At that moment, Gojo appeared standing in the middle of the room wearing a large white fur jacket and a long scarf, ”Itʼs been a while,”

”Gojo!” Arad smiled, ”I didnʼt sense getting into my domain,”

”I teleported in,” Gojo smiled, picking a seat facing Arad.

”Gojo Orion, Aradʼs brother,” Baltos looked at him. ”How is she?”

”Sheʼs doing well, studying and training,” Gojo replied.

”I already flew past the university and checked it out. Itʼs quite a nice place. I signed myself in for the next year, but I couldnʼt do that for Arad as I donʼt have any contact in there, and itʼs against the rules to register someone else without proof from them,” Gojo looked at Arad, ”I hope you have a way of registering,”

”Iʼll handle that, but under what name did you register?” Alcott stared at him, ”You didnʼt use your real name, did you?”

”Arad told me what fake name heʼll be using, so I made mind to be close.” Gojo smiled, pulling a clean ID card, ”I had my kingdom issue this. Itʼs an official identification card similar to those of the guild.”

The card had the name Jogo Kyomu.

”This isnʼt a fake identification...” Baltos stared at the card.

”Itʼs one of the benefits of having a kingdom. I can issue real- fake stuff. I donʼt need to forge any documents. Iʼll just have them made however I like.” Gojo giggled, ”Itʼs quite nice. I even got the number 8.”

”Eight? That means youʼre of the first ones to register for this year,” Baltos smiled, ”But eight people have already signed in this early. This year would be full,”

”Does the numbers matter?” Arad asked.

”Not really. They are just identification for the students other than their names,” Alcott smiled.

”By the way.” Arad looked at Alcott, ”Did you attend that university? You said you have contacts there.”

”Well, itʼs a long story...” Alcott looked away.

”This man was a menace,” Baltos looked down with a tired and disappointed face.

”Come on, I was quite popular there,”

”Popular in the wrong way. I wonʼt call sleeping with over twenty students and several teachers there a good type of being popular,” Baltos stared at him.

”It all started because of that woman. Donʼt blame me.” Alcott stared back at him.

”What did happen?” Arad sighed.

”She said I canʼt cut fourth-level spells with a sword, so I asked her to bet something. She then said that if I managed to cut one of her fourth-level spells, sheʼd spend a night with me.” Alcott looked away, ”I was young, and she was quite well endowed, so I didnʼt miss the chance,”

”So you managed to cut the spell? How?”

”It was a fireball, so I swung the blade reversed downward to create turbulence and then up with the edge to part the fire. You shouldʼve seen her face. It was unheard of at that time for a fighter to cut a spell like that,” Alcott laughed.

”It didnʼt help that almost a week later, a dragon went on a rampage near the university and attacked it. That was the first dragon Alcott slayed,” Baltos looked at Gojo, ”Youʼve seen them there, right?”

”I saw several paintings depicting him splitting a red dragonʼs fire breath in half with a blade while protecting the students behind him,” Gojo looked at Alcott, ”If they hailed you as a hero, why would they kick you?”

”It was half them kicking me out, and half me just leaving,”

”Seeing that Alcott was strong beyond belief,” Baltos started talking with a tired face, ”Everyone wanted the powerful dragon slayer in their families, so nobles started urging their daughters to drag him back home. What made it worse is that Alcott was already popular among the ladies there due to his large build and toned body, which led to tens of girls approaching him.” He then glared at Alcott, ”And this idiot thought it was a good idea to sleep with all of them,”

”Donʼt blame me. I was quite young there. What would you have done if approached by such a horde of beauties?” Alcott argued, ”Blame the teachers there who also joined in,”

”Thatʼs the disappointing part, the director had to take actions,” Baltos looked at Alcott, ”They had to uphold order,”

Alcott nodded, ”But the teachers were the best. They were certainly better than the students.” He smiled, ”But, I need to point out that the director was quite the hypocrite,”

”Why is that?” Baltos stared at him, sweating as he started to realize where Alcott was going.

”I probably spent more nights with her than anyone else,” Alcott stated.

”No wonder the case went unknown for months. You had the director under your belt as well.” Baltos cried with a sad face.

Gojo laughed his lungs out, ”Are you sure you donʼt have an incubus part in you?”

”In fact, I did test that afterward, and Iʼm 100% a pure human,” Alcott replied with a passive face.

Gojo looked at Arad, ”Weʼll try to have a low profile there, we arenʼt going there to cause trouble,”

Arad nodded, ”Yeah, I do want to study some subjects,”

”Me too. I wonder if they have any interesting spells,” Gojo smiled.

”Please donʼt be like this idiot,” Baltos sighed.
