To Velvet, Al was the world.
The warmth of the person who hugged him was love, and mana was nourishment.
Before destroying the world yet.
Even before you were born.
Even before the name was decided.
Is it because the dragon has a much higher intelligence than other races?
‘I’m with my mom…’ … Dad… … .’
Velvet remembered every moment from the moment she was an egg until she was born.
Of course, that’s more than a clear memory.
It was just a momentary emotion, sensation, and situation, but Velvet never once forgot the joy she felt at that moment.
okay. How can I forget?
When the egg’s temperature becomes abnormally hot, it gives it cold energy so that it can be born.
Stroking it.
Share the mana.
Velvet was just an egg, but all those moments became memories and nourishment, forming new Velvet one by one.
‘It’s really nice… … .’
Perhaps Velvet’s genius talent and growth potential may have been the influence. The potential of the dragon Sardonyx, the talent of Shin Yu-seong, and the genius of Adela were all combined and melted together.
Fluffy-
Unidentified blue liquid.
Velvet felt as if someone was pulling her up into the sky. As if someone was pulling my body and sinking it into an endless sea.
I felt like my body was floating, and I felt a sense of encroachment.
Flash.
Velvet tried to open her eyes so as not to fall asleep amidst that strange sensation.
But after all that effort, what I saw was a square glass tube and an entirely blue world.
‘Where is this going… … .’
Even if it’s 1 in 100 million.
Concerned that a runaway could occur in the city while moving Velvet, researchers at the Hunter Association filled a glass tube with mana coolant and placed Velvet in it.
As a result, Velvet, submerged in liquid, was breathing through a tube-mounted respirator.
‘I’m sleepy… … .’
As she fell into a slumber due to the mana coolant, Velvet traced her memories so as not to forget the current situation and herself.
[mom!]
Velvet remembered the moment she was born. She remembered the surprised faces of her family surrounding her.
[Now, here are the ingredients for crab cake! Those over there are tools needed for cooking]
A really fun cooking class with Sumire. A sweet cake.
[okay. If you want to be together. We should be together. Even more so for kids.]
Kim Eun-ah’s hand gently stroking her head.
[Velvet is here to stay.]
Adela spoke firmly for herself.
[Velvet, since you chose us. We will be with you forever.]
And yourself.
“You are like family to me.”
Shin Yu-seong’s voice recognized him as a real family member.
Shake! Rattling-
Even though it was now in a glass coffin and was going to an unknown location, there was always one place where Velvet should have been.
‘velvet… … I want to go home… … .’
It’s not that Smart Velvet didn’t understand what Meilin and the researchers said, but she still didn’t want to part ways.
‘If I use it, my dad and mom… … Orca too… … .’
I didn’t want to leave.
‘Worry about me… … . I would do it… … .’
My heart is not ready to break up yet.
Saaa-
Nodding-
The energy of sleep coming more and more due to the power of the coolant surrounding the surroundings. Even the moment Velvet lost her mind and her eyes closed, she never once forgot everyone, and she never lost her desire to return home.
‘velvet. I want to go back… … .’
* * *
The party members, who had all cleared the 19th floor, continued to chat as they returned from the tower to the clubroom.
While splitting into three parties and attacking the tower for several days, the party members had conversations they had never had before.
Of course, the most frequently discussed topic is definitely velvet.
“We were the slowest because the quest changed midway. How long Velvet must have waited for us… … .”
“that’s right! Hehehe, they must be waiting for us so desperately. “I can’t wait to go back and cook you lots of delicious food.”
Adela and Sumire.
“So you tried to follow me secretly without knowing where I was going… … . “He was sorry for leaving me alone.”
Kim Eun-ah too.
“Hey, don’t worry too much! Velvet also has an orca! “It’s because I couldn’t see how well you two were playing~”
Amy too.
“But I made Velvet wait longer than I expected. “I guess I should have stopped by once.”
Shin Yu-seong also wanted to see Velvet. Thanks to this, my steps on the way back felt light.

However, the door to the club room opens.
“Velvet~! where are you?”
“velvet?”
Despite Sumire and Adela’s calls, there was no answer from the club room.
“What, are you out there picking up rocks?”
Kim Eun-ah looks around the clubroom with a puzzled look on her face at the extremely quiet response. She saw the Orca lying face down in the living room, raising her head in exasperation as she checked on her returning companions.
“Master, madam… … Now, little master… … .”
* * *
Deep in the mountains, far away from the city center. However, let’s take a car along a well-paved road.
A heavily guarded building appeared with cameras installed on an incredibly tall barrier with no blind spots.
[Please present your ID.]
Meilin presents an unidentified ID card following the instructions provided by the security equipment installed at the entrance.
[Check-in… … .]
[Checking the code number.]
Tirik-
[confirmed.]
Once Meilin’s identity was confirmed, the iron gates of the fortress-like entrance moved to both sides, allowing vehicles to enter.
“… … “This building always looks like a fortress.”
Meilin just nodded without answering what Joo Himchan, who was driving the car, said. Even though Meilin made the right choice for the safety of the citizens, he could not shake off the uneasy feeling.
“ha… … .”
In the end, Meilin let out a deep sigh without realizing it and tried to calm herself down.
‘… … This transportation was also approved by the president of the association. ‘I couldn’t help it.’
There was only one choice Meilin was now regretting. If only I had known that Velvet would be born with such powerful mana, even among dragons.
From the beginning, students should not have been allowed to manage the dragons.
No matter how much Shin Yu-seong had ownership of the egg, it was the same as letting a living bomb be raised in the city.
‘Plus, I gave them time to bond too much. Because of that time, both the dragon and the students will have a harder time… … .’
Phew-
Meilin touched her forehead and sighed deeply again.
“Are you worried about student backlash? Still, in this case, it was the president’s choice, so you don’t need to worry too much… … .”
Despite Joo Himchan’s comfort, Meilin said nothing throughout the dark tunnel.
Percussion-
After passing through the tunnel, I saw white, square buildings built in a row. Meilin opened her mouth late.
“just… … “I’m not used to playing bad roles.”
An awkward silence fell on the two.
Joo Himchan opened his mouth in the silence of a minute that was either short or long.
“But was that little dragon’s mana value really 13 million?”
13 million.
Even if it is a dragon, this is a huge number for the mana of a newly born hatchling.
“yes. And it’s increasing day by day.”
But Meilin was still saying that this was just the beginning.
“When I first checked that dragon’s mana level, it wasn’t that high.”
“Then in that short time… … .”
“I don’t know what happened, but that dragon is very dangerous in both a good and bad sense. “That thought has not changed.”
That’s why Meilin thought that Velvet should be raised in a research lab.
Only then could we take risks in preparation for the worst-case scenario.
“I understand. According to the tower’s records, it’s not just hunters who can’t control their power and run wild.”
Was Joo Himchan’s consolation helpful? Meirin, who just moments ago had been holding her forehead and sighing, now had her usual expressionless face.
“is it so. I feel sorry for that dragon, but for the safety and happiness of many… … .”
I made a decision.
“This is an inevitable choice.”
* * *
White tiled floor.
Velvet opened her eyes in a building where an unidentified machine was emitting a detection laser to measure the concentration of mana in the air.
“Just looking at it like this, it looks no different from an ordinary human child.”
“Still, this is the result I just measured. What Branch Manager Meilin said was right. Even though he looks like an ordinary kid, his mana level exceeds 13 million.”
“A kid like that… … .”
Amid the buzzing noise, some people were amazed at the sight of Velvet, others looked scared and tried to avoid it, and others frowned as more work was added to their already busy schedule.
“I can’t even handle my power properly, but I have that much mana…” … I’m so scared of this that I wonder if I can stay in the lab… … .”
“But I’ve restrained it with a mana ring around its neck, so it should be safe for the time being.”
However, no one here treated Velvet as family. Unlike Busil, here Velvet is just one of the subjects and subjects to be managed.
‘Kyaang… … . mom and dad… … .’
Velvet bowed her head at the sudden separation and longing for everyone.
‘I miss you… … .’
This was not the place Velvet should be.
