How To Survive As A Dragon With Time-Limit Chapter 77

Episode 77 Man’s Romance (2)

Ron frowned at the expectant gaze directed at him.

“Tsk! done. Should I be fighting with those guys over a student at this age? And they are basically braggadocious guys. Once in a thousand years? It’s obvious that these guys have great insight! “Don’t waste your time on useless things.”

“… All right.”

Ron’s decisiveness left the high-ranking magistrate slightly disappointed and withdrew.

However, as the tower’s executives looked only at him, perhaps because he still had regrets, Ron put the documents aside and opened his mouth.

“Now, anyway, I’m a disciple, so I’ll find out whenever I have time, but before that…” How are the preparations for the academic festival going?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. “We have been thoroughly preparing for the past five years.”

“Don’t be cocky. Since this is an academic festival where all the castle towers of the fall continent gather in one place, you will need to be fully prepared. To prove that the name of Radiance stands tall above all the castle towers of the Autumn Continent!”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“And this time, I also plan to participate in the academic festival, so you know that.”

“The tower owner himself… … ?”

“okay. “This time, my research has yielded some results, so I’d like to showcase it.”

“ah!”

The executives’ faces brightened at Ron’s story.

Although they were picky about their students, no matter what anyone said, their top master was the best wizard on the Autumn Continent.

The results of such research will be enough to establish prestige in front of numerous castle towers at this academic festival.

Even if their research presentations are not well-received.

It was good news for those who felt quite burdened by the academic festival.

As the executives’ faces brightened, Ron waved his hand.

“Okay then, go and see what’s going on.”

“Then, let’s take a step back.”

As the executives left their seats in droves, Ron’s office became quiet.

Ron muttered, leaning back in his chair.

“Be a disciple… … .”

With those words, Ron’s office was once again enveloped in silence.

* * *

Lois and Dexter spent all their time holed up in the studio.

Dexter is excited that his research may be completed.

Lois is excited that she will create a man’s dream with her own hands.

The two devoted themselves to making the transcendental machine every day, even skipping meals.

Their research progressed smoothly, and Dexter’s research, which had been stagnant for the past 10 years, began to move forward with Lois joining.

Of course, that was once.

“… “What does that mean?”

“Why don’t you understand this?”

“So you have to speak in a way that makes sense to be understood!”

Dexter and Lois bickered.

The reason they fought was because of the power of the Transcendence Period.

“Why don’t you understand this? “It’s easy!”

“… this? “Where are you looking?”

“You just have to do it this way and that way!”

“So what are ‘like this’ and ‘like that’?”

“Ah-oh!”

Lois and Dexter looked at each other and pounded their chests.

Both of them looked like they were dying of frustration.

A soft sigh came out of Dexter’s mouth as they grinned at each other.

“ha… … .”

There was a look of despair on his face.

‘This guy… … .’

After I started researching with Lois, I was actually more surprised than I had ever been with this guy before.

The more time we spent together each day, the more I learned about Lois.

‘What happened to this guy?’

I knew of his genius, but now Lois was starting to look like a monster.

‘How did it come to this… … .’

When we first started joint research, Dexter clearly had a higher understanding of the objects.

It was bound to happen, given how many years Dexter had been clinging to the object.

Based on the knowledge and understanding of objects that he had accumulated over a long period of time, he first began his research by teaching Royce.

But as time passed, there was less to teach Lois, and the gap between them narrowed.

Then, for a few days now, Lois and Dexter have been studying on an equal footing, and about two days ago, Lois’ understanding of objects surpassed Dexter’s.

Decades of single-minded life were overtaken in an instant.

‘Hehehe… … .’

It is truly a frustrating situation.

Then today, Lois came up with a theory that even Dexter couldn’t understand.

When I asked for a more detailed explanation, I found out that I didn’t know anything.

‘This damn guy… … .’

Dexter accurately recognized Lois’ condition.

It’s clear that you think it’s easy and doesn’t require any particular theory, but the other person doesn’t understand it.

Dexter drooped his shoulders helplessly.

‘… This is why they are called geniuses.’

Maybe he was more frustrated than me.

This is a situation where you are actually teaching someone who needs to be taught.

‘her… ‘I can’t believe I have to study all night at this age.’

No matter how much they say that studying is something you have to do for the rest of your life, there is nothing to teach the youngest student who has been brought in late, so the only teacher he studies is himself.

“ha… … .”

Dexter sighs softly.

Lois looked at him strangely.

“What are you doing?”

“no… More than that. What happened to the powertrain improvement?”

At first, Dexter created the transcendental power sphere through joint research with himself, but now he has left it entirely to Lois.

At some point, he felt like he was in the way of Lois, whose understanding of power ball research was far beyond his own, and he fell in love with it.

Instead, he was continuing research other than the power sphere.

Lois calmly answered Dexter’s question.

“Improvements have progressed to some extent, but there are problems.”

“What?”

“The main body is too big now. So, we worked on increasing the output, but if things continue like this, errors will occur in various parts connected to the main body.”

“why?”

“The magic of the power device I improved and the magic made by Grandpa Topju are not compatible.”

“That… “Can’t I change it?”

“Honestly, the total output of the technique made by my grandfather is limited. “I need the improved technique I created.”

“Then what if I take a look at the main technique I’m currently researching?”

“It’s possible, but then you’ll have to work with external devices as well… “Do you have time?”

“Okay… … .”

A groaning sound came from Dexter’s mouth.

It was true that research accelerated with Royce joining.

But the problem was time.

Autumn Continental Castle Tower Academic Festival.

There were only about two weeks left.

There was no time to remanufacture the external device within that time.

Dexter sighed loudly.

“I have no choice… First, let’s do as much research as possible with what we have now. “There will be a way.”

“If you’re going to decide, please do it quickly. before it’s too late.”

“I get it… … .”

Dexter closed his eyes as if he was tired.

It was that moment.

Beetle-.

Dexter’s body stumbled, and just as he was about to fall, he grabbed the table and straightened himself up.

Lois hurriedly ran over and looked up at him.

“are you okay?”

“… Okay. “I’m just a little tired.”

“Get some rest. “You haven’t been able to rest properly for the past few weeks.”

Dexter looked at Lois as if he were dumbfounded.

“You bastard, is that what you’re going to say after staying up all night for several days?”

“I am strong and young.”

“You’re still young… … . Anyway, you don’t grow taller. You are only ten years old. “Eat well and sleep well to grow taller!”

“… Don’t be unlucky. “Because you’ll grow taller.”

Lois glared at Dexter.

Lois’s short stature was nothing short of an annoyance.

Dexter waved his hand as he looked at Lois, who was pouting her lips.

“Let’s call it a day. I’m going to get some rest. “You too, get some rest.”

“all right. Then take a break. “I’m going to go out and look at some more drawings.”

“So… … .”

A tired-looking Lois walked out the door, clutching a pile of scattered drawings to her chest.

Dexter stared blankly at the back.

“Huh… … .”

A faint smile appeared on Dexter’s lips.

‘guy… … .’

A grateful look appeared on his face.

At first, he was not pleased with the idea of ​​taking Lois as his disciple.

But now I couldn’t do it without him.

I was both sorry and grateful that a guy with monstrous talent who, in any other castle tower, would have knelt down and begged for him to come, was helping himself in a small castle tower like the Tower of Desire, without much support at all.

On top of that, we bickered every day, and now we’ve become attached.

‘What should I do…? … .’

In fact, the reason he kicked out the disciples from other towers and refused to accept Royce as a disciple was for their sake, but it was also for his own good.

Because I don’t want to die and leave behind the people I care about.

‘Whoa…’ … .’

Dexter’s sigh deepened as he was left behind.

And then Lois came out.

He encountered an unexpected person.

“what? “Chief?”

“Were you here?”

The village chief visited the Tower of Desire.

He smiled and greeted Lois.

“Are you here to meet the tower owner?”

Royce asked this question while looking at the liquor bottle in the village chief’s hand.

The village chief nodded at this.

“I wanted to have a drink with my friend after a long time.”

“Stay inside. “But I don’t know if you can drink alcohol.”

“huh?”

“You almost collapsed earlier.”

“this… … .”

The village chief, with a frown on his face, entered Dexter’s workshop as comfortably as if he were at home.

Lois stared at this in silence and tried to turn away.

There was a sound that caught his footsteps.

“I heard you almost collapsed again!”

The village chief’s shout heard from Dexter’s workshop.

Lois’ ears perked up.

“… Lois said that? “It’s no big deal.”

“Isn’t it no big deal when a person falls over?”

“Well… Inum, when you get old, you’ll just end up doing this and that. A guy who knows enough to know does that. “Don’t make a fuss.”

Lois crouched down in front of the door as she heard the two voices coming.

“What a fuss! Now the only friend left in this town is you. “Are you telling me to watch a guy like that go away suffering from illness?”

“Kkeulkeul, you’ve lived enough, right?”

“… How much does she say she has left?”

“Well, that’s fine. “2 years at most?”

“What if it’s short?”

“They said I could go as soon as tomorrow.”

“Isn’t that therapist a quack?”

“I wish I was a quack… “I heard he’s a famous guy in Hatton City.”

“Hmm… … .”

The village chief groaned.

He asked as if he was frustrated.

“So when are you planning to tell the others?”

“Lois, I knew from the beginning… “He is a quick-witted guy, so he probably knows that my death is not far off.”

“… “Not that kid.”

“The other guys… “It would be better to just not know.”

“How can people be so selfish? “Do you think the kids will be happy if you leave like that?”

“Kkkeul, so you’re already going around the neighborhood talking about me being the old man who accepted my death? Yekki, it’s done, man.”

“You’ve been with those guys for dozens of years. “We need to give them time to prepare their minds.”

“If you do that, you’ll only have more worries. “Just pretend you don’t know.”

Lois, who was listening to the conversation between the two outside, scratched her cheek.

‘As expected.’

As Dexter said, Lois was noticing.

This means that the life of the tower owner is not very long.

This was confirmed through the conversation between Dexter and the village chief.

‘It’s worth being nervous.’

He had not yet achieved his goal in life, and the decreasing time each day must have strained him even more.

“hmm… … .”

Lois stroked her chin with her short fingers.

‘If you think about it, the tower owner is not the only one who doesn’t have time. It’s not like I have that much time left.

While the time limit on that side depended on the academic festival and her own life, for Lois, the safety of the continent and Generoker also depended on it.

“Umm… … .”

Lois is thinking about something.

Soon he got up from his seat.

“Good!”

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

It was a smile that seemed to have some kind of plan.

Lois held the drawing in her arms and Dodo ran out.
