Disciple of Immortal

After the end of the 3rd trial, we returned to the village along with Raigan.

We dumped the unconscious Zuul to Odio and dumped the responsibility for what happened in the Dragon Gate temple on the former.

Odio then tied up Zuul with a lot of ropes and carried the latter on his shoulder like a sack of rice.

「This guy has broken one of our taboos…! And it's done by none other than the holder of the "Dragon Saint" title on top of that. He even caused trouble for you, Master. Don't worry, we will lock up this rascal in our ancient prison.」

「Thank you. And please stop calling me "Master".」

… It seems Odio had yet to give up on trying to make me his master.

Pomera scowled as she looked at Zuul.

「Uhm, Zuul's level should be pretty high right? Restriction aside, is there a place to lock him up?」

「We dragonfolk have much higher physical strength than you normal humans. Our prison is special, the people in that prison will always wear handcuffs to prevent them from using their power to break free. We also have a special talisman to weaken physical strength.」

If we exclude otherworlders like me, the highest level adventurer in the city was around 【Level １００】.

But, dragonfolk's average level could easily double that.

The three great dragon saint's level might be somewhere around 300.

When someone reached that level, there was no way they wouldn't want to test their power or create some sort of ruckus without some sort of self-control or restraint.

「And then… Kanata-sama, congratulation on getting 3000 points in the 《Dragon's Trial》. I've never expected that I'll meet someone who gets a full score in all trials in my life! Not even the successive generation of dragon kings managed to achieve that…!」

Odio congratulates me joyfully.

Our point for the 3rd trial was 1000 points each.

Different from the 2nd trial, it seems the point we got was decided by the statue with the highest point that we defeated, not their number.

Or so it was supposed to be but, using that evaluation means that only Philia would get the 1000 points.

But since Zuul activated all dragon statues at once to kill us, and we managed to destroy all of them, it was decided that we were strong enough to get 1000 points.

For that reason, the final points for both Pomera and Philia got 2500 points each, while I got 3000 points.

With this, we cleared the requirement to get the Dragon King's title.

By the way, since Mitsuru only managed to defeat a 50-point dragon statue back then, his score in the 3rd trial was 50 points.

Since he got 500 points from the 1st trial, 20 points from the 2nd trial, and 50 points from the 3rd trial, his total points was 570 points, just one step short of getting the Golden Dragon's title.

Raigan was jumping for joy upon knowing Mitsuru's score.

He might had a grudge against Mitsuru when the latter beat him up, that's why he was delighted.

「In the long history of Peach Dragon Village, there's only one person who ever get the perfect score in the 《Dragon's Trial》.」

Pomera's eyes twinkled upon hearing that.

「Only… One person? I can't imagine another person like Kanata-san to exist but…」

Hearing Pomera's remark, Odio chewed his lips in frustration.

「Ah, that's correct… Well, that's boring tales anyway. My apologies but, we detested the name of that person to the point that we don't even want to say it.」

Hearing that, something suddenly clicked in my mind.

「Is that person by chance… The 《Ruler of The Sky》?」

Raigan and Odio's expression changed 180 the moment I said that name.

It seems they were really surprised.

Bull's eye eh?

We aside, it seems that name became taboo when it came for the dragonfolk.

But damn, seeing their reaction, it seems I just made a blunder by speaking the 《Ruler of The Sky》 before I met the Dragon King.

「So you know that name huh…」

Odio spoke with a bitter smile on his face.

「Uhm, yes… But just for your information, I only hear about that name from rumor. I thought they were dragon at first but, turned out they were dragonfolk all along.」

「Indeed. They might act like a dragon now. This is rather an unpleasant topic for us but… The 《Ruler of The Sky》 is one of the first-generation dragonfolk in this peach dragon village. Since they're born from the dragon, the 1st generation has a higher average level, and they can also turn into dragons.」

「E–」

So they're a former inhabitant of Peach Dragon Village.

I've never known about that.

Since I've heard that the dragonfolk were created by the dragon to prevent friction with human who live around their area, so from the dragonfolk's or the entire peach dragon village's perspective, it was natural for all of them to think that they were made for the same purpose.

「Thousand years ago, someone broke the taboo of peach dragon village. That person used the power of the dragon hole that should be protected by us to strengthen themselves and ended up being exiled from Peach Dragon Village. Well, calling it exiled is an overstatement, that guy simply left the Peach Dragon village. They seem to have gone into hiding for the last thousand years, manipulating things behind the scenes and not causing trouble so openly… Or so I heard. They're the greatest stain in the long history of Peach Dragon Village. By now, both the peach dragon village and the dragon have half-given up on capturing that person.」

We suddenly got a lot of information about the 《Ruler of The Sky》 after coming to this village.

Well, Ramiel did say that the 《Ruler of The Sky》 broke the taboo of the peach dragon village.

But she didn't say anything about that taboo being related to the dragon hole.

I looked at Raigan to confirm the story.

The person himself revealed a slightly disgusted smile.

But I had no idea what he felt inside.

I didn't even know whether Odio was truly hostile toward the 《Ruler of The sky》.

「… Well, that's an unpleasant topic. It's so unpleasant that some of the dragonfolk will be pissed off just by hearing that name. That's why please restrain yourself from saying that name so casually.」

Said Odio with a wry smile on his face.

「That matter aside, you said that you guys want to meet Dragon King-sama. Since you guys own the dragon king's title, you have the right to challenge Dragon King-sama but… Are you going to challenge him?」

Asked Raigan.

「I'm not coming to cause trouble in Peach Dragon Village but… There are some items that I want to borrow from the warehouse. Do I need to… Challenge the Dragon King-sama for that?」

「So that's the reason…」

Raigan dropped his shoulders in disappointment

It wasn't my intention to make a ruckus either.

I just wanted to say one thing or two to the dragon king and yet, the dragonfolk's uselessly high pride ended up complicating the situation.

He might ended up dismissing my information about some sort of joke if I didn't choose the right words.

「… Kanata-sama, I've something to tell you.」

Odio look like he had a hard time telling me about this matter.

When I looked at Odio's face, he scratched his head while averting his gaze awkwardly.

「The truth is… Dragon King-sama is currently suffering from stomach ache and forbids anyone but his caretaker from entering the Dragon King castle.」

「… WHAT!?」
