Rapidly Advancing Augmented Magic

White Dragon Secret Realm

"Let's handle these two matters as they are. If any problems arise later, come back to me."

"Yes, Your subordinate takes his leave!"

Just as Vyseria finished dealing with two important matters and was about to rest, he was woken up by another subordinate before he could even lie down on the bed.

"Lord Vyseria, the Fire Dragon King Igneel and the Iron Dragon King Metalicana have come to pay you a visit."

Vyseria sat bolt upright, his eyes wide and fixed on the subordinate who had reported the incident. After a long pause, Vyseria shouted at his subordinate, "Bulaideqi, what did you say? Igneel and Metalicana came to see me together?"

"Yes!"

"They didn't argue? They didn't fight?"

"No! The two gentlemen get along very well and do not insult or attack each other."

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Vyseria realized he was in deep trouble. He had just considered fleeing, but then he remembered that this was his territory, the place where his strength lay. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if he escaped outside? After thinking it through, Vyseria abandoned his impractical escape plan and said to his subordinate, "Bulaideqi, go to the Shadow Dragon Secret Realm immediately and fetch the Shadow Dragon King, Skiadrum. Be quick!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go to the Shadow Dragon Secret Realm immediately!"

After watching his capable subordinates go to the Shadow Dragon Secret Realm to fetch reinforcements, Vyseria leisurely walked towards the banquet hall.

"Brother Metalicana, did that good-for-nothing Vyseria run away because he saw the two of us coming to see him together?"

"Hmm! That possibility cannot be ruled out!"

"If that's the case, then if we wait for him here, won't that just give him time to escape?"

"That makes sense, so what do you suggest we do?"

"Why don't we two go to Skiadrum's place and wait for him!"

Metalicana was somewhat tempted by Igneel's proposal, and just as he was about to agree, a hearty laugh came from outside the door.

"Haha! It's truly an honor for my humble abode to have two gentlemen visit at the same time!"

A moment later, 'Cowardly Dragon' Vyseria strolled leisurely into the hall. Watching his unhurried steps, Igneel and the other man were both somewhat incredulous. Then, a question popped into their minds: Was this guy really Vyseria?

"My two brothers, you have come a long way and must be tired. I have already ordered some delicious food to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey. I hope you will not refuse and let me do my part as a host."

As soon as Vyseria finished speaking, Igneel turned his gaze to Metalicana.

"Is this kid your apprentice?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I never took him as my apprentice!"

"How come he knows this move too?"

"How should I know!"

After the two exchanged a 'telegram', Metalicana spoke up, "Vyseria, you don't need to use those tricks anymore, because I already used them once not long ago. As for the 'enjoy the scenery' and 'find a room to rest' tricks, don't bring them out again, they're useless to us! To be frank, the two of us came to you this time just to ask you to help us find news of the Thunder Dragon."

Hearing Metalicana's words, Vyseria breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the two didn't fight in his house or attack him, everything else was negotiable. However, considering their shared interests in a certain area, Vyseria's newly relaxed heart tightened again.

Seeing the change in Vyseria's expression, Igneel said, "Vyseria, you don't need to worry. We're not looking to fight the Thunder Dragon, but rather we want to ask it for a favor."

"Help? Help with what?"

Just as Igneel was about to explain the whole story, Metalicana spoke up first, saying, "Igneel made a bet with one of his friends to see who could find the Thunder Dragon in a shorter time. Because the stakes were so high, Igneel couldn't afford to lose, so he asked us old Old Friend for help."

"Oh! I see! Then there's no doubt I'll help you out! But, after it's done, Brother Igneel, you'd better treat me to a good drink!"

"Hmph! So that's why you agreed so readily, you were waiting for me here! But after this is done, that guy Sordil is going to provide me with all the fine wine I need for the rest of my life. What's wrong with treating you to a drink then!"

After inwardly scorning Vyseria for being a scoundrel who wouldn't do anything without a profit, Igneel said heartily, "No problem, I'll treat you to a good drink later!"

"Okay! It's settled then!"

The two had just finalized their deal when a dark figure drifted in from the surrounding shadows. But before he could slip into the hall, Metalicana spotted him.

"Hmm? Skiadrum, what are you trying to do, sneaking in like this?"

When his ally was about to be exposed, Vyseria quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Here's the thing, a few days ago, I made an agreement with Skiadrum to come and ambush me today to improve my responsiveness. But then you two brothers suddenly came to visit, and I forgot about it. I didn't expect Skiadrum to come here to find me."

"I see!"

"Brothers, we should hurry up and find the Thunder Dragon!"

"Yes! Yes! Finding the Thunder Dragon is the priority!"

Kingdom of Donagunov, Royal Palace Training Ground

Since being brutally beaten by his future father-in-law, Long, Sordil and Irene's relationship has heated up dramatically. However, Sordil did not slow down his attack on Irene Heights; he continued to bombard Irene with various romantic tactics every day.

"Cough cough"

"Oddek, what are you smelling?"

"Irene, can't you smell anything?"

"No!"

"Wait a minute, why do I smell a faint sweetness in the air around here?"

Hearing Sordil's words, Irene curiously sniffed around, but couldn't smell anything sweet. Just then, Sordil suddenly moved closer to Irene, sniffed a few times, and then shouted, "Haha! So it was you, Irene, who made the air around us sweet! No wonder the sweetness got stronger the closer I got to you!"

After realizing she had fallen into Sordil's trap, Irene raised her little fist and lightly punched Sordil's chest a few times, only to be met with a bear hug from Sordil.

"Ugh! Let me go!"

"Let you go? No way! You're so cute, I want to hold you like this forever!"

Under Sordil's relentless onslaught, Irene lowered her fists and stopped resisting Sordil embrace, instead lying obediently in this warm haven. Their tender moment was short-lived, when an untimely third wheel appeared behind them.

"Ahem! Your Her Majesty the Queen, it's time for you to attend to state affairs."

Upon hearing the Prime Minister's voice, the Little White Irene began to struggle again.

"Oddek, stop fooling around! The Prime Minister is here to urge me to deal with official business!"

"I don't want to! We clearly promised to hold you until the end of time, not even for a second less!"

"Sweetie! Stop fooling around! I'll make it up to you tomorrow!"

"Fine! Then tomorrow, you'll have to tell me more about Augmented Magic to compensate me, otherwise I'll kidnap you and take you to West City, making you my personal possession."

"Yes, General!"

And so, by using her charm and cuteness, Sordil changed her Augmented Magic class from a regular class to an intensive class, which made her Augmented Magic improve by leaps and bounds.
