I Have a Dragon in My Body - Chapter 1

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It had been ten years since he had touched the dragon egg at the age of six.

During this period, despite countless attempts, Mark’s father was unable to let him successfully sign a contract with any magical beast.

Helpless, he could only give up on this idea and teach Mark to be a Magic Warrior!

This would make up for Mark’s inability to sign a contract with a magical beast.

This was because in all the countries in the continent of Connors, most people could sign contracts with magical beasts or dragons.

One could strengthen himself by contracting a beast.

When the contract reached a certain level, the person who signed a contract would obtain a 100% amplification of the magical beast’s strength.

Whether it was the magic capacity or the toughness of the body, they could all be increased according to the level of the magical beast.

Under the guidance of his father, the 16-year-old Mark quickly became a high-level Magic Warrior!

Because he could not sign a contract with a magical beast, he could not wander this continent alone.

Helpless, Mark’s father directly let him enter the top magic academy in the Empire!

The St. Vincent Magic Academy was located in the capital and was one of the top magic academies on this continent.

It was guarded by the strongest Contract Mage in the world, and most of the elites of this continent were gathered there to teach.

Today was Mark’s first day in the academy, but because of his equipment, he was blocked by the academy’s guards.

He rushed all the way from the Kolo Village in the northeast of the Empire to the land of the mountains. Then, he came here alone from the dangerous mountains.

Because the journey was too far, he only reached the entrance of the academy when the school opening ceremony had begun.

After clearing many obstacles, he was already covered in mud and blood.

Therefore, as soon as he reached the academy, he was directly stopped by the guards at the entrance.

Two soldiers wearing the uniform of the Empire blocked Mark with their weapons and stated, “Adventurers are not allowed to enter here!”

“What brings you to Empire Academy?”

Hearing the question, Mark looked down at the dirty leather armor on his body.

He instantly understood what they meant!

At this moment, Mark explained to the two of them, “I’m a student of the Empire Academy. Due to the long journey, I just arrived!”

With that, he took out an admission notice from his pocket and handed it to one of them.

After receiving the admission notice, the guard took it and looked at the contents carefully.

In the end, he extended his finger to the seal and used magic to verify it. After discovering that the admission notice was true, he looked at the dirty Mark and said, “Student, I don’t know where you came from, but you have already missed the opening ceremony!”

“Now, please bring this admission notice to the Academic Affairs Office to register!”

“After doing this, they will arrange your dorm!”

After speaking, the two of them moved to the side and let Mark enter the academy.

Not long after Mark left, the two guards began to chat.

The guard on the left was very surprised, “I never expected that someone would walk from such a distant place like Kolo Village to the Empire’s capital!”

When the guard on the right heard this name, he cried out in surprise, “Kolo Village!”

“It’s that small village in the mountains in the northeast of the Empire!”

“Heavens! He’s only a 16-year-old child, but he walked alone from that village to this place?!”

“I really don’t know how powerful this child is now!”

Hearing this, the guard on the left looked around and found no one.

Then, he leaned towards the ear of the left guard and whispered, “I saw from his admission notice that he is now a high-level Magic Warrior!”

When the guard on the right heard this, the halberd in his hand fell to the ground in shock.

However, he quickly recovered and bent down to pick up the weapon. He muttered, “What a genius!”

“Only the third princess of the Empire can compare to him!”

Due to their shock, the two of them did not observe their surroundings. They did not notice a black-cloaked woman passing by.

After hearing their conversation, the woman smiled, then silently entered the academy from their side.

As she walked, she thought, “I didn’t expect such a person to exist. Let me go take a look!”

Mark followed the academy’s path into the courtyard and discovered a problem. This academy was too big!

He had already walked for half an hour and were already in the middle of the academy.

Because he had been walking by feeling, he did not realize that his path had gone astray!

As he walked, he arrived at the Battle Arena.

At this moment, on a ring in the Battle Arena, there were a few people fighting on the stage!

Hearing the cheers and feeling curious, Mark entered the Battle Arena.

At first glance, many people really surrounded the edge of the arena, watching the two people fight on the stage.

Because there were too many people in the venue, Mark could not see what was happening on the stage.

He squeezed into the crowd.

Because the smell on him was rather pungent, the surrounding people automatically made way for him when he got close.

Through this path, Mark saw a very enchanting woman in leather armor on the stage. She was fighting a tall man in heavy armor.

Assassin? Against a Knight?

Under normal circumstances, only Magic Warriors or Swordsmen would fight against Knights.

In most cases, an Assassin fighting a Knight openly was suicide!

Seeing that the Knight on the platform was already panting, this made Mark even more curious. How did the other female Assassin do it?

Soon, he obtained an answer.

The Knight on the platform was too young. He kept waving the heavy weapon in his hand to attack the female Assassin.

That was why his physical strength was depleted.

However, the main reason was that the female Assassin was very skilled. No matter how close the Knight’s two-handed sword was to her, it could not hit her!

Time passed quickly, and ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The sweat of the Knight on the platform had already covered his entire body.

“The Knight is about to lose!”

As soon as he said this, everyone around looked at Mark.

A tall and thin man squeezed through the crowd and asked Mark, “This can’t be, right?”

Mark’s clothes were too dirty and emitted a strange smell, causing the man to not dare to approach him.
