Reborn as a DRAGON

Ynos' training was tiring, at first, he was like a sitting duck simply standing there and waiting for my attacks to land on him. Needless to say, he was not happy about It. Sidus couldn't join in on the fun as apparently keeping the darkness cloak up was taking all of his concentration.

He simply watched over the whole ordeal with an emotionless expression on his face. Essie who was in the air this entire time decided to join, she would occasionally throw in a wind blade of her own and chuckle cutely as It landed true, this however only served to further enrage Ynos who appeared to be on the verge of losing It.

This was exactly what the fairy was doing to him, hence he needed to learn control over his emotions otherwise he would just be taken advantage of. Thankfully, Sidus did not need to bring the cloak down to rest which meant we could continue doing this until Ynos finally decides to change his approach.

Though I had to admit, none of us could have realized just how stubborn he could be. The sun was already setting in the distance yet he kept on blindly dashing around trying to catch the attacks head-on and only using his instincts. 'This doesn't seem like it's working,' I inwardly mumbled, annoyed at the muscle brain.

Sidus' who was standing by my side had his calm face crack as a frown made its way unto it. Just as I was thinking that perhaps we should attempt a different approach to this, Immy finally came down from the mountain. She gracefully landed next to me, a harrumph escaping her mouth as she glanced at Sidus whose frown deepened, she then turned towards me and asked in curiosity.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to help Ynos with his fairy problem, but as you can see, It's not going very well," I answered with an annoyed sigh. Hearing my reply, an amused 'Oh' left her mouth as she turned to face Ynos who was blindly letting all attacks land on his body.

"Well of course It's not going to work brother, Ynos does not sense any danger coming from the attacks, no murderous intent, no intent to harm hence he has no real reason to dodge, no real reason to change the way he does things," She explained with a knowing expression.

My eyes widened in understanding as I nodded, 'That does make sense,' I inwardly noted, yet before I could say anything else a light arrow suddenly materialized above her head, an extremely dangerous aura surrounded it. "Wait, what are you-" Immy did not let me finish before she launched the arrow towards Ynos.

I had no doubts that If that arrow landed he would seriously be injured, especially considering she aimed It at his weak point. My eyes widened in shock at the abrupt situation, yet It was already too late to do anything. The arrow flew straight towards Ynos, I watched in surprise as his body suddenly tensed before he hastily dodged the light arrow attack.

Ynos's face was full of disbelief as he stared blankly at the place where the arrow had exploded, It even managed to light up the cloaked realm of darkness. Ynos loudly gulped as his gaze seemed to settle down, he carefully observed his surroundings as if to anticipate the next attack.

Immy turned her gaze towards me and spoke. "Try to hit him now," I unconsciously nodded and launched a small water bullet aimed at his vitals. To my immediate surprise, Ynos dodged long before the bullet closed in on him. "He sensed it!" I laughed in delight as I turned my attention back to Immy who had a proud expression on her face.

"You're really smart Immy, thank you for your help," I said as I used my palm to gently pat her head, she snuggled closer to me and licked the side of my face before gazing back at Sidus with a smug expression causing him to grit his teeth in annoyance, she then laid down on the ground a yawn escaping her mouth and spoke.

"He only dodged this time because his senses are still on high alert, I suggest you hit him with the intention to harm, and occasionally send in a few harmless attacks, that way he'll get more used to dodging instead of taking everything head-on," She added, to which I nodded in understanding.

I brought my gaze to Sidus and asked, "Thank you for your help Sidus, I take it you are still good to go?" To that, the young black dragon proudly raised his head high and replied. "Hmph, of course, who do you think I am?" A smile made Its way onto my face as I chuckled.

"Well then let's do this, Essie you can help as well If you want," I added as I glanced at the cute green dragoness who was still happily flying in the air. "Okay!" To which she replied with a smile. From then on, the training took a turn for the better, Ynos started to dodge a bit more, there were still a few harmless attacks that managed to hit him but it was still immensely better than before.

I was the main one to launch the attacks, while Essie would sometimes launch a wind blade before returning to the skies. Even Immy who was lazily laying by my side would occasionally join in with an attack of her own, and so the day quickly came to an end as the sun disappeared on the horizon.

Although the day was over, our training was not. This was the first time that I truly realized the full extent of a dragon's stamina. I had been launching countless attacks all day long and was still alright, Sidus was a bit worst of as he had to keep his concentration, yet he still seemed alright overall.

Ynos the protagonist of this entire training arc, was a bit tired yet still managed to move about with surprising vigor. Everyone had grown stronger after our naming ceremony, It was safe to say that we had taken our first true step towards becoming full-fledged dragons.

And so we continued taking turns sending attacks, all the while he honed his mana-sensing skills trying to avoid them. And by the early morning of the next day, Ynos was ready. He could accurately anticipate and dodge almost all the attacks sent his way regardless of the intention behind them.

One would argue that his talent was monstrous for someone who was still charging head-on to meet the attacks just yesterday, the change was truly great. I turned to glance at Sidus who seemed to understand my intentions, with but a thought the cloaked shield of darkness disappeared leaving behind a weary Ynos.

Essie had long since come down and was settled on top of my head, while Immy who was still by my side nodded in acknowledgment. We all looked at him with approval to which he gave a solemn nod and surprisingly bowed his head. "Thank you," He quietly said before he turned to walk towards the edge of the cliff, his steps filled with determination.

"Wait, get some rest first!" Essie panicked as she saw him attempting to leave already. Sidus who walked closer towards our side used his tail to pat her head. "Leave him, he is as ready as he'll ever be, there is no stopping him now," I nodded in agreement as I watched Ynos go, praying for his success.

'Good luck little brother,'
