Chapter 639: If You Think I'm a Dragon, I'd Better Actually Be a Dragon

The principal and professors would handle the rest of the justification for him.

That righteous attitude really did carry a bit of Finger's true teaching.

Looking at this carefree student, Manes felt a tightness in his chest. Just as he was about to reprimand him, Mo Wang suddenly changed the subject. "Professor, what exactly is that bronze thing we brought back? It looks all mysterious and secretive."

At that, even Ye Sheng and Yagi Kudo, who had been eating instant noodles, looked up with the same curiosity in their eyes.

Manes opened his mouth, then hesitated. He adjusted his glasses and glanced around at the three people in the cabin. After pondering for a moment, he lowered his voice. "Ordinarily, I shouldn't tell you at your clearance level. But since you were the main personnel in this operation, I'll tell you one speculation."

He deliberately paused, making sure everyone's attention was on him before continuing in a mysteriously hushed tone. "Listen carefully. This is only speculation—I suspect it is the egg of the King of Bronze and Fire."

"What?!" Ye Sheng and Yagi Kudo cried out at the same time, nearly overturning their noodle cups.

Mo Wang merely pretended to be startled as he dug at his ear. "The King of Bronze and Fire's egg? So it's a Dragon King egg? Professor, Dragon Kings can turn into eggs?"

"Legend says that when Dragon Kings encounter danger, they can transform themselves into eggs to avoid harm..."

"So it's still a dragon egg, then?"

"What kind of reaction is that?" Manes could not help asking. "This is a Dragon King's egg!"

Mo Wang slurped down his last mouthful of noodles and said carelessly, "But Professor, if Dragon Kings can turn into eggs, doesn't that mean... they can be fried and eaten too?"
