《Reborn as a DRAGON》Chapter 67: The names
Advertisement
After my 'friendly' spar with my little siblings, It took a while before all of them regained consciousness. Besides White who chose to gracefully retreat before things got bad, Green was the first one to wake up, and as soon as she did her eyes glanced about nervously as she avoided my gaze.
Green's body fidgeted anxiously as I could sense her worried emotions, I grinned and stepped closer towards her as she lowered her head. I raised my palm causing her to close her eyes and shrink into a ball, and then patted her head. 'No need to be so nervous silly, you did well,' I said causing her downcast expression to disappear and her eyes lit up.
Green's tail waged about excitedly as I praised her, she then swiftly hopped on my back and quickly settled on top of my head, between my horns. 'Cute,' I didn't mind and left her there as I turned to glance at White. She lowered her head for a brief second showcasing her respect and to my surprise spoke.
"Brother," Her voice was sweet and elegant as it reached my ears. My eyes widened for a moment in surprise before I nodded in acknowledgment. Just then Golden boy's eyes shot open as his body jerked awake, he jumped to his feet and took a ready battle stance before he seemed to recall what happened.
He then looked at me, and surprisingly lowered his head as well. I could see a little bit of fighting intent still burning behind his eyes yet he managed to control and hide it well which in itself was commendable since it's Golden boy we were talking about.
'Brother,' He suddenly spoke as well, his voice came off as a deep grunt akin to that of an adult dragon, a big contrast to his still immature body. I nodded back in acknowledgment as well.

My attention was caught by a groan of pain as Blacky finally steered awake. His gaze was glossy for a moment as he stared at the ceiling above in confusion before his eye regained its clarity. A bitter expression took over his face as he turned to face me, his one eye unconsciously moved to glance at my left side where he had attacked me, only for him to pause in shock.
He must have been caught off guard by the small scar that remained there. Blacky's eye moved from the scar and then to my face, and again back to the scar. His mood seemed to elevate as a wide grin took over his face, he was unable to control himself as his emotions escaped him, he was happy.
Blacky lowered his head and spoke in a tone full of respect. "Brother!" He said excitedly. I nodded back in acknowledgment and replied. "You did well little brother," Hearing me say that, his body froze for a second before he bowed even deeper for a second and then stood back up with a face full of pride.
Our mother who was watching the entire ordeal silently from the side made her move at the moment and spoke. "Tell your siblings your name," She said to which I pushed my chest out and straightened my back before replying.
"My name is Aether, bestowed to me by the Dragon King!" I proudly declared earning me a few envious gazes from my siblings as their eyes sparkled in awe. Mother nodded and then turned to my siblings before continuing. "You have all passed your tests, although not eligible to be named by the King himself, you will let your mana chose your name for you," She said.
'Oh, that's interesting! So they will also get their names, I'm almost reluctant to stop calling them by their nicknames though,' I inwardly chuckled at that thought.

"Reach out to your respective element, listen to the stream of mana and let it reveal to you your name," Said mother, which honestly confused me to no end. 'Reach out to the stream mana? Let it reveal your name?' Although I was confused, my siblings seemed to know what they had to do.
They all closed their eyes in concentration as they reached out to their respective elements, I could feel the waves of mana surrounding them. It was a different feeling than what I was usually used to, It felt more conscious like I was in the presence of an actual being.
The first to start glowing was White, her red eyes suddenly shot open as she glanced at mother and then back at me before she opened her mouth and revealed her name. "My name is Immy," She announced.
Just then Blacky's body was abruptly shrouded in a dark mist that appeared and quickly disappeared as fast as it came. His eye fluttered open with a dangerous glint passing through it as he spoke. "My name is Sidus!" He said as he turned to look at me, almost as if telling me to not forget. I simply smiled and nodded.
Golden boy was next, once his eyes opened, he glanced around in confusion as if he did not recognize the place he was in for a few seconds before he finally seemed to come back to his senses. His gaze was somewhat downcast as he declared in a deep voice. "My name is Ynos,"
Mother nodded as all eyes turned towards our youngest sibling who still had her eyes closed, I could vaguely sense a sentient presence surrounding her as her body glowed in a gentle green color, her eyes then shot open as they seemed to sparkle before she spoke for the first time, her sweet voice was like a caress of a rose petal.
"My name is Essie!" She proudly declared while puffing her little chest and raising her head high. I couldn't help the wide smile that formed on my face as I looked at her. I could sense that my mother was quite pleased as well as she gave one of her rare smiles as well.
She looked at every one of us starting with White as she spoke. "Immy, Sidus, Ynos, little Essie..." Her gaze fell on me last as she continued. "And Aether, my name is Iver," She said with a gentle smile, I rolled the names in my tongue for a while committing them to memory, although I liked the nicknames, I had to admit their names all sounded very impressive.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.
