The fight was over.
All of the dragon’s body was frozen.
However, only the face did not freeze because the heat from the breath remained.
The dragon stood still with only his face sticking out of his frozen body.
Lie looked at the dragon’s body and shifted her gaze.
“What are you going to do with this now?”
“What should I kill?”
Although Priscilla was keeping it as much as possible, she couldn’t keep it like this.
If you don’t care, the ice will melt and the dragon will be released.
Lee opened his mouth again at my words.
“How can I kill you?”
“… … .”
I’ve been thinking deeply about this too.
He thought about holding him, but he didn’t even think of killing him.
Shall I keep hitting my head?
Soon I shook my head.
Even a fist with a magic tool was not enough to pierce the dragon’s scales.
It was not likely that the dragon would die by doing so.
“I’m going to pierce your head.”
Locke walked towards us and drew his sword.
“Is it possible?”
“I’ve done it once a while ago, so there’s nothing that can’t be done twice.”
I had pierced the tail with a sword before, so I thought there was a possibility.
“Hiccup… … .”
Then there was a loud noise from the dragon side.
It was the dragon who had an arrogant expression on his face after knowing that we were unlikely to be able to kill him.
Where did such an arrogant dragon go, now his pupils were shaking wildly.
I looked at Locke.
“Let’s do it once.”
“i get it. then… … .”
“Hey there!”
The dragon hastily called us.
We looked at the dragon silently.
The dragon hesitated, then quietly opened his mouth.
“… … Help me.”
Even the dragon, the pronoun of arrogance, did not want to die.
I saw such a dragon and smiled.
“Nope?”
There was no reason to live.
That whole body is a very large magic item.
Even the dragon’s heart, scales, and claws are all items that are at the budget level of the territory.
These days, dragons are at the level of extinction, so it’s impossible to get them.
He was not generous enough to give it up in favor of a lizard without one face.
Also, if you don’t kill that guy, you won’t get any points.
Evaluation is evaluation, and money is money.
There was nothing I could gain by saving him.
Rather, it was an existence that would become a disaster in the future.
“lock.”
“I, I really buy, please save me. I’ll do really well. I won’t bother humans, and I’ll live quietly in the mountains. I won’t do anything, I’ll do what the humans tell me to do. please just live please… … . black… … .”
The dragon spoke out like a rapid-fire cannon.
Tears were shed with a mournful voice.
Lie looked at such a dragon and made an absurd expression.
“… … Where are the dragons originally?”
“… … I don’t know.”
A being called a dragon is crying desperately in front of me and begging for my life.
The image of the dragon in my mind felt like it was bursting and breaking.
“Hmm… … .”
I pounded the calculator in my mind by myself.
Is there anything to gain from saving your life?
If you keep him alive, how do you make sure he doesn’t betray you?
I tried to think about it slowly.
“Rudy! it’s over?”
Then Luna and Emily walked by from far away.
“To what extent?”
“Wow… … It looks really big.”
Luna looked up at the dragon.
Then he tilted his head.
“… … Is the dragon crying?”
“Big black… … big black… … .”
“… … He cried for help.”
Luna covered her mouth as if surprised and made a sad expression.
When I saw Luna’s expression, I felt very troubled.
“Rudy… … .”
“no.”
I predicted Luna’s words in advance and answered them firmly.
Then Luna inflated the ball.
“It’s pitiful. It’s not a big request, I’m just asking for help!”
“How many humans must he have killed?”
“… … I never killed anyone.”
The dragon said quietly.
“Look. You never killed anyone.”
“… … I don’t know if that’s a lie or not.”
“I’m not lying! I’m Hetzling, just born! My mother was friendly with humans too!”
“… … Is there a dragon that has been friendly with humans?”
It was a word I had never heard of.
If there was a dragon who tried to make friends with humans, it should have come from the academia of magical beasts.
But there were no such data.
While researching and studying dragons, I had never found any similar material.
“When I was at my mother’s rhetoric, I made friends with a few people! It’s real!”
The dragon quietly lowered his head as he said those words.
“but… … My mother was killed by those humans.”
I looked at the dragon suspiciously.
When I saw Luna, I felt hope and thought I was lying.
First off, it didn’t matter.
“If you don’t kill that guy, you won’t get any points.”
We wasted a lot of time trying to catch the dragon.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, so I could fight other people, but it was difficult to keep up with other people’s scores.
“Are you going to just keep your low rank like this?”
“… … If I get points, will you spare me?”
Luna looked into my eyes and asked.
“… … I will think about it.”
Then Luna raised her hand.
“Teacher! You are watching!”
Luna shouted in the absence of anyone.

“Please come out for a second!”
After a few seconds of screaming like that.
“Did you call?”
An assistant came to us from the forest side.
“Did you hear what we were talking about?”
“yes… … I did listen.”
The assistant scratched his head.
It was clear that it would be difficult for the academy as well.
“Aren’t you pitiful that the dragon prays so earnestly… … . If the dragon is edified, it’s practically no different from dealing with a demon, so it’s okay to get points, right?”
“… … First of all, I don’t think it’s for me to judge. I’ll ask Professor Cromwell.”
The assistant took out a square box from his pocket.
Then he put his hand to his ear.
A light came out of the box and the assistant opened his mouth.
“… … Yes, Professor. Yes. Yes. Did you see the situation? Yes. Well… … All right.”
The assistant nodded a few times and closed the box.
“First of all, the professor said that killing a beast is not meaningful, but that he will pay a score because it is an evaluation to determine if he can deal with the beast. However, it is up to the students to manage dragons on their own. If it is not managed, legal corporal punishment may apply.”
“really!”
Luna clapped her hands happily.
Then he looked at me with a triumphant expression.
“Are you okay now?”
“I… … Can you live?”
I looked at the dragon sharply.
You just left such a chunk of treasure alive… … .
Are we in charge of that too?
Another question was whether we could kill dragons.
Right now, I don’t know if I can kill it or not.
Would a dragon be that obedient when it was decided that there was none after trying to kill it?
Then you can’t tame the dragon, so your points will fly.
After a lot of thought, I looked at the others.
“What do other people think?”
Then Lee opened his mouth.
“Because there is no need to kill. We are humans, not beasts.”
It was definitely a word that could set a good example for others, but the expression on his face was very annoying.
He probably thought that it was difficult to kill a dragon, and he seemed to want to finish the job quickly.
After looking at Li like that, Yuni moved her gaze to me and raised her hand.
“By the way, how do you manage it if you keep it alive? They let us go, but if we just fly away and run away, we will be punished.”
“I’ll have to cast a spell to put a restriction on it.”
You can do it the way Principal McDowell put restrictions on Yeniel in the past.
I looked at the teaching assistant next to me to remove the horns as well.
“Teacher, could you please prepare Prof. Cromwell a contracting tool to put restrictions on?”
“Yes, I will do as Rudy said.”
If you prepare after the evaluation, it will be too late, so this will help.
In the case of a magical tool with restrictions, it cannot be crafted during evaluation.
“Then are you going to save that dragon?”
“okay.”
It was a pity that he couldn’t change his heart or important parts into magic tools, but he had no choice but to do it.
How do you use that dragon more than that?
If it was restricted by magic, I would have to use it… … .
I ate up looking at the dragon.
“Then, are you going to save me?”
“yes! Dragon, you saved me!”
“Black… … . thank you thank you.”
“Oh, before that.”
I reached out to such a dragon.
Then I forgot something.
“… … yes?”
“Now that I think about it, do you remember what I said earlier?”
“… … .”
“What did you say? hot? are you stupid? Alone… … ?”
“sorry… … . Making fun of people’s tongue recklessly… … .”
I crossed my arms and looked at the dragon.
I felt like I was going to have to watch it for once.
The dragon looked at me and continued talking.
“… … Doing nothing on my own, running around… … . It’s a crappy lizard that’s worse than a mere worm… … . Don’t mind what this garbage dragon says. I have very little knowledge compared to humans.
These are the words I was saying… … . big black… … .”
When the dragon, who had such a strong sense of pride, said something like that, he laughed.
As I was smiling, Lie and Yuni looked at me.
“Are you a pervert?”
“Huh? Do you like things like that?”
I coughed in vain at Lie and Yuni’s words like that.
“Hey, I’m just getting the apology I deserve.”
So we decided to keep the dragon alive.
***
After the contract was concluded, the dragon suffered a large wound from us and went into the rar and fell asleep.
We slowly organized the luggage we had prepared to catch the dragon.
Luna looked at me as I sat quietly without packing my luggage.
“Now what will Rudy do?”
“I want to be around here.”
Now that you’ve caught the dragon, the points are piled up.
Except for Luna, Rie, and Locke here, the score was incomparable.
Also, before coming here, I had to deal with many students, so there was a difference in scores with the people here.
So, I was just waiting for one person.
Surely he will come here.
It is a fact that every student knows that there are dragons at the top of the mountain.
The number of people who can catch this dragon is limited.
Then the guy will know.
that I dealt with a dragon.
I will come here just wondering what kind of fight happened.
I looked at everyone and smiled.
“I’ll wait here for Evan.”
