I Have a Dragon in My Body - Chapter 2

Hearing this question, Mark turned his head to look at the other party and replied, “The Knight’s physical strength has been exhausted. In less than a few minutes, his body will be sluggish and he will be stabbed in the back, directly at the neck!”

It was nothing to judge the Knight’s loss, but Mark had predicted the direction of the final blow.

This made the surrounding people unable to remain calm.

The surrounding people turned their heads again. A beautiful woman in luxurious clothes deliberately squeezed through the crowd.

She did not mind that Mark was covered in mud and blood at all. She seriously asked, “Is it really a backstab and not somewhere else?”

Seeing that she was so serious, Mark nodded.

Looking at Mark’s sharp gaze, the noble woman already knew the answer.

She turned around and walked to the gambling table and opened a new bet.. She shouted to the surrounding people, “New bet! Let’s bet!”

“We’ll bet on the position of the final strike between the female Assassin and the Knight!”

Hearing the shout, the surrounding people walked over and took out the gold coins from their pockets.

Most of these people were descendants of nobles, so they did not lack gold coins. It was just for fun!

Seeing this scene, Mark squeezed through the crowd and placed five silver coins on the ground, betting on the neck area for a 1: 10 payout!

The woman smiled at Mark and quickly took the five silver coins from him. With a flip of her hand, she directly exchanged them for gold coins.

The surrounding people did not see this scene and only walked away from Mark in disgust.

As for the people around Mark…

Even after hearing that speculation, no one around bet on the neck position.

The neck was the best spot for a Knight to protect.

As a Knight, he had an iron collar on his upper body and could not be penetrated at all.

Also, there was the neck guard. It was protected by two layers of protection and could not be easily penetrated by any sharp weapon.

Just as everyone finished placing their bets, the two people in the arena had already entered the final showdown.

The Knight could no longer move because his strength was depleted.

Using this opportunity, the female Assassin directly pulled out the short sword at her waist and attacked from the front.

Seeing this scene, the Knight could only raise his hands and block with his sword, but he did not realize that the female Assassin was only an illusion.

When he realized this, the back of his head had already felt a vibration. Before he could react, he fell to the ground.

Seeing the result of the battle, the surrounding people immediately left in disappointment.

In a few minutes, apart from a few staff members, only Mark and this beautiful woman in luxurious clothes were left in the arena.

She tied up the 50 gold coins in a very small bag and walked to Mark’s side and placed it in his hand.

Shaking the gold coin pouch in his hand, Mark was very surprised. He did not expect her to do this.

He immediately asked, “I only bet five silver coins. Why did you give me so many gold coins?”

The woman covered her mouth and smiled. She nodded at Mark but did not answer his question.

She turned and left the competition grounds.

An inexplicable feeling came over him, but the other party had already left. There was no longer any competition on the stage. Mark turned and asked the staff in the arena.

He walked towards the Academic Affairs Office on the second floor of the teaching building in the center of the academy.

Reaching the faculty, Mark knocked on the door.

Soon, a middle-aged man’s voice sounded, “Please come in!”

Pushing open the door, he saw a man with golden hair and dressed in dark green school uniform sitting at the desk.

He saw Mark’s appearance and thought it was an adventurer, so he asked, “You are?”

Mark immediately took out his admission notice and placed it on the table.

He took a look and took out a form from the drawer. He filled it in with a pen.

A few minutes later, he looked up at Mark and said, “The admission fees and the dormitory fees are a total of 20 gold coins!”

Hearing this, Mark was stunned, for the admission notice did not mention paying.

Fortunately, he had won 50 gold coins at the Battle Arena earlier!

After taking out the gold coins from his pocket and handing it to the man, he did the last thing he needed to do in school.

He walked into the room at the side and fiddled with it for a while before walking towards Mark with a sign.

He handed the identity card made of special materials to him and instructed, “From today onwards, you are a first-year student of the Empire Magic Academy!”

“Because you came late, Mark, you missed the entrance ceremony for the new students, but that’s not important.”

“You can just memorize the rules in this book!”

“The school dormitories are on the east side of the school and are connected to the prosperous streets of the capital!”

“There are no empty rooms in the collective dormitory now, so I arranged an individual apartment for you. It’s in Building No. 5 of Zone A, you can just move in!”

After listening to him, Mark nodded at the spot in front of him and asked, “I’m sorry, but from today onwards, I’m also a student of the academy!”

“Can you tell me your name?”

Hearing this, the golden-haired middle-aged man paused, then smiled, “Roy Evelyn, Head of the Academic Affairs Office, I am temporarily in charge of the new students’ admission!”

Hearing this, Mark immediately bowed, greeted him, and left.

After leaving the office, he headed east and quickly arrived at a region with very dense vegetation.

However, these plants did not grow beyond their boundaries. It was obvious that someone had been taking care of this area.

After walking for about half an hour, Mark saw a sign that indicated the direction and walked towards Zone A.

Soon, he arrived at a villa area. There were small buildings with courtyards everywhere.

Looking over, Mark was very surprised. He did not expect the accommodation here to be so luxurious.

After a few seconds, Mark walked into the courtyard.

The guard at the entrance saw the student identification on his waist and did not stop him from entering.

Arriving at the entrance of Building No. 5, Mark looked up at his new residence, a small two-story apartment.

In the surrounding courtyard, there were flowers of various colors. It seemed that someone would usually take care of them, so these flowers grew very well.

Mark directly inserted his identity card into a square gap on the door, and it automatically opened.

The door seemed to sense it. After he entered, it closed automatically.

Mark, who turned his head and saw this scene, could not help but sigh, “As expected of the top magic academy in the Empire. The magic technology is actually so advanced.”
