I wished I didn't know what was happening. Lucas who always acts cool is now trying so hard to pull me away from the window.

But I couldn't take my eyes off the creature that's approaching the academy. I heard how groaned loudly and held my shoulders tightly.

"Athanasia, get the fu- Argh! Get out of this room, now." He said, my trembling eyes finally looked at his red ruby eyes.

"How about you?" I asked him, he sighed and pulled me out of the room, my eyes widened as soon as I realized what was going to happen.

"You know that what you are going to do is almost suicidal right?! Right, Lucas?!" I told him while walking the same pace as him. Trying to convince him with my all might to don't do such a thing.

"Oh shut up Athanasia! I know I can do this." He said and pushed me out of the room, I was going to shout at him when suddenly the shaking started to get stronger. "Sh*t" I heard him curse.

"An ordinary mage can't even kill a dragon Lucas!" Yes, a dragon. And a huge dragon to be exact. Dragons are rare, but the power that they hold are indescribable, and that's what made them scary.

"But I am not an ordinary mage, Athanasia!" He shouted and snapped his fingers, my eyes widened when I was now at the backyard of the academy with the other students.

I was about to run inside when Ejikiel stopped me. "Athanasia, what are you doing? Are you going to kill yourself?!" He asked me and I removed his hand from my wrist and gritted my teeth.

"That damn Lucas! He's the one that's going to kill himself!" I said and he shook his head and tried holding my shoulders.

"Athanasia, the mages from the Magic Tower are here, and they are high ranked--"

"High ranked!? Psh, they are but their Master sure is something else!" I said before running away, I heard how Ejikiel shouted my name so many times but I didn't stop running, my body was moving before I can even think.

My heart was beating loudly as I ran to the shaking hallways, trying to find the way to our room. That damn Lucas!

"Where is Sir Lucas!? DID YOU FEEL THE MANA FROM THAT DRAGON?!" I heard the mages from earlier, my eyes widened and I ran to them.

"What about the dragon's mana?!" I asked them with a panic look plastered on my face. They gave me that 'should we trust you look'

"I am Athanasia De Alger Obelia, you can trust me!" I shouted as the shaking started to intensify.

"His mana is overflowing and too strong, Sir Lucas is making a death wish!" One of them shouted, my eyes widened and I ran off again.

"Oh God! Why did you let the princess run away?! The Emperor will kill us!" One of them shoutes and I continued to ran up the stairs.

Lucas, be goddamn safe! I opened our room's door but he wasn't there. Where are you?! My trembling legs continued to run around, and suddenly something popped up inside my mind.

I ran to the stairs and when I saw the stairs that's connected to the rooftop I chuckled, the door's open. He's here.

I was at the end of the stairs but the door to the rooftop wasn't open. I kept on knocking and kicking the door.

"Lucas! I know that you're there!" I shouted while slamming the iron door in front of me. Is he really having some kind of death wish?! "Lucas! Let's get out of here for pete's sake! Lucas!" I continued shouting, my blue diamond eyes couldn't even focus.

"Athanasia what the-- What are you doing here?!" I heard him shouting back at me, I continued slamming the door and groaned loudly.

"Isn't it obvious!? I won't let you die Lucas! Not like this. I am not that heartless! I have emotions too! And guilt!" I shouted as I kicked the door.

"Emotions?! I've lost that a long time ago." I almost lost my breath when I hears the Dragon's roaring close.

"Get out of there Lucas! Don't kill yourself!" I shouted "The other mages are looking for you, ask help from them!"

"I don't ask help from other people Athanasia. Now shut up and you get out of here!" I heard how the door slammed, did he just kicked the door?!

"I am trying to be nice here! So you shut up and open this goddamn door and let's get out of here before we die!" I know that I wasn't talking like a princess, I am so sorry for my etiquette teachers!

The Dragon's roar became louder and I heard how Lucas groaned loudly and it sent shivers down my spine, is it Lucas' magic? It was too strong that I even felt it!

"What the heck are you doing here?!" He shouted at the dragon. "Oh well, you're going to die anyways." I didn't know what he did, but there was white and blue light, I can see it from those little spaces from the door.

WAS THAT LUCAS' MANA OR THE DRAGON'S?! Either way that gave me goosebumps all over my body!

My eyes were left wide open, as I saw how the door in front of me opened, and Lucas' kid look was gone. He has now long pitch black hair that looks great on him.

"What you looking at? I told you I can handle this." He said and tsked before helping me get up.

"B-But the mages told me that you were like having a death wish when you do that!" I said and pouted lightly. "Plus is that your new look?" I tilted my head.

He groaned and scratched his head. "Shut up, just go get those mages and principal, let them talk about that dragon's body." He said before walking away.

"Hey! Don't walk out on me, you big mean dude!" I said before running behind him.

I was scared, I thought that he was going to die. That he would slip right through my hands.

I chuckled, his new look greats on him too! Weird "You're a lot taller than before."

He stopped walking and that made me bump on his back, making me groan loudly while massaging my forehead. What kind of back is that?! A rock?!

"I was in my teen size that time dummy." He said and I chuckled.

"But you were small!" I giggled, I was trying my best to lighten up the mood.

"But you were smaller." I scoffed, okay that's it I won't lighten up the mood!
