I Received System to Become Dragonborn

General Lennard said it with a face full of pride. He was even now smiling at Julius.

Throughout his life, Julius very rarely saw a smile on Jacob Lennard's face.

His junior was a man with a stern face who wasn't fit to be in public.

He is only suitable to be on the battlefield to kill enemies or become a scary instructor figure at the new army training camp.

Seeing his smile, Julius was sure that Jacob Lennard was really happy.

"Okay. You can continue," Julius said.

"Yes sir!" General Lennard nodded obediently.

"But for this new project we need funds and new subjects, sir," General Lennard added.

"Sure. Don't worry about that. You will get all the funds you want," Julius replied.

"Don't forget to take care of all the surviving subjects. Well, I guess I don't need to remind you of that, do I?"

"Of course, sir. They are very important subjects for our purposes." General Lennard nodded firmly. His eyes were full of determination.

"Good. You can go now," Julis said.

General Lennard then stood up and took his leave. After he left the room, Julius played back the recording.

He knew that the Elves attacked them with magical powers from their world. But their only weapons were swords, bows, and spears.

All of that is primitive technology compared to modern human weaponry.

If Julius had an army of people with Magical powers, then, his military might would be invincible.

A grin slowly started to form on Julius's lips. In his head now a scenario was formed where he actually launched an attack with an armed army that could use Magic.

However, it seems that the plan is still far away from actually being executed.

He still had to wait for even better results. As to how the two subjects acquired the powers of fire and ice is something that is still unknown.

They got the same Magic core. But shows different results.

The factors that influence it still need to be investigated further.

Julius took a deep breath to calm his heart which was beating fast because of the excitement.

"Relax. It's still a bit of a long way to go through."

Julius watches the recording again while lighting a new cigar.

Billy and Adrien were stunned to hear the suggestion made by Erend.

The wind at the cemetery blows gently, knocking down the grass and reeds.

The sun was already a little higher than before. But they still haven't moved from where they sat.

"Y-You sure it will work?" Billy asked in a choked voice.

Erend had expected that. The shock of his unexpected idea must have made him stutter.

"I still don't know. But, it's possible, right?" Erend said.

Adrien then replied. "I don't know, Drake. There might be side effects if ordinary humans like us learn Magic."

Yes, the idea given by Erend is that they should learn to use Magic.

That way, Erend thought that their chances to live would be bigger.

"Actually, seeing the Elves do Magic, it's a very amazing thing," Billy said. "I can't believe we're ever going to be able to do that."

Billy's face now showed clear excitement.

"Wait a minute, Brook. Didn't you hear what I just said?" Adrien said while looking at Billy with a look that seemed to give a warning.

Billy meets his gaze. "W-well, I think that's a good idea. As Erend said, we could have a higher chance of fighting if we could use Magic."

Adrien sighed and thought for a few moments.

"Let's say I agree. If I agree, and this is only 'if'. We don't know if the Elves will teach us to use Magic," Adrien said.

"Ah, that's right." Billy looked shocked as if he had just realized something important.

"How about it, Drake? I don't think that's possible. You know how those Elves treat us, right?" Adrien said while looking at Erend.

That is indeed a problem. But, Erend actually has another solution for that. It's just that he couldn't say it right now.

"I'll think about it," Erend said. "After all, this is just a proposal. I have high hopes for this proposal but actually, I'm not sure either."

"After all, if it's just the three of us who can use Magic, would that make a big difference?" Billy said. "You said that it was a great calamity, right?"

"Like I said before. At least you guys will have a higher chance to survive," Erend replied.

"Never mind. Since it's just an idea, we don't need to discuss it any further now." Adrien said. Then he stood up and looked at them both.

"I have to go home now because I promised to take my son to play."

After that Adrien Boartusk said goodbye. Leaving Erend and Billy at the cemetery.

Billy looked around. "We haven't even cleaned anything since earlier."

"Then let's do it now," Erend said as he stood up.

Billy followed him to his feet and they started cleaning up the cemetery.

The sun was already overhead when they finished. There are not many things that make this cemetery look messy. Because of that, their work was faster than usual.

"Hey, I have to go to another world again to do something as usual," Erend said.

"Sure sure," Billy answered lazily as he opened his water bottle. "I'll wait while sleeping in this car."

Erend snorted with a thin smile. Then he spoke to Tut inside his head to open the Portal.

A portal appeared in front of him a moment later.

When Erend turned around, he saw that Billy was already leaning back in the car seat which had been lowered slightly.

Erend stepped into the Portal to do out the Daily Quest.

When he reached the other side of the Portal, Erend saw a sight that was quite shocking.

However, this sight was indeed something Erend was used to seeing when he set foot on the other side of the Portal, so he just sighed.

"Damnit, already?"
