Chapter 638: 638
Chapter 638: End Of Friendly Match
Dawn Academy’s goal for arranging that friendly match was simple. It was in hopes that the first-year monitors could adapt to team battles quicker, and increase their teamwork and chemistry. So, the results of the friendly tournament itself were not important, and with Xiao Lin not participating, Dawn Academy’s skill could not compare to their opponents anyway, so the student union agreed on that point.
However, even so, no one expected that they would be defeated so thoroughly. Xiao Lin remembered Yu Mei telling them during their training that, even though the length of a team battle depended on the skills of both parties, usually, the fastest matches would last at least ten to twenty minutes.
However, this time, not even ten minutes had passed!
The student union members that came to spectate felt incredibly embarrassed. No matter what, they should at least have been able to hold on for ten minutes before surrendering.
At that moment, the Russian vice president walked over in front of Dawn Academy’s president, sternly saying, “I think we can end this match now. If we continue, it’s not that I don’t respect your opinion, but if we continue, we can’t guarantee that Diana will behave. After that woman activates her talent, she gets quite crazy.”
“I think we should end this match now as well. There’s no need to continue anymore!” Xiao Lin suddenly sighed as he said.
The president looked at Xiao Lin curiously before looking at the monitor again. The water cannons were still covering the whole forest, and even the four from the Russian academy were being submerged. If it continued, most of them would definitely lose ten years of their lifespan.
“Yes, let’s end here. It’s your victory,” the president said plainly.

“A wise choice.” The Russian vice president let out a sigh of relief as well, and both sides started to notify those in the stadium of the end of the match.
After the Russians left, the president looked at Xiao Lin again. Xiao Lin smiled bitterly and continued his words. “That woman… If it continues, she will probably end up using draconic spells. I’m sensitive to draconic energy, and I won’t be mistaken.”
“Draconic spells!” The president was shocked before saying in realization, “No wonder they said that woman would go crazy. I heard that the power of dragons would send a regular person’s mental state into a high state of excitement. It’s true, continuing would not benefit us.”
The friendly match ended in an extremely short time, but fortunately, while the participants had varying injuries, none of their lives were in danger. After going through treatment, they quickly recovered. Xiao Lin let out a breath of relief when he saw that Gu Xiaoyue was fine, but Gu Xiaoyue glared at him angrily. With how smart Gu Xiaoyue was, she could more or less guess that the end of the match definitely had something to do with Xiao Lin.
The injured Russians were also generously treated by Dawn Academy for free, but only Diana never left the stadium. When Dawn Academy offered to look for her, they were rejected by the Russians. The Russians had a strange look on their faces when they said that there was no need to worry about Diana. Once enough time passed, the woman would come out herself.
Cheng Ming and the others were miserable, and were brought away by Yu Mei right after exchanging a greeting with Xiao Lin. Only the Russians remained, and Xiao Lin decided to stay behind after some thinking, quietly sitting in the spectator seats while he waited. When Alexander noticed him, Alexander smiled and walked over, “Don’t tell me… Did you really fall for that woman?”

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes, ignoring Alexander’s teasing as he asked, “Is Diana’s talent Draconic Power?”
Alexander had just opened his mouth when he noticed the gaze of one of his companions. He could only smile and say, “All I can tell you is that Diana’s situation is complicated, as her talent isn’t as simple as you think. Ahem, I can’t say anymore. She’s already out, so I’ll need to go look.”
Probably worried that he would let more slip, Alexander rushed over. His teammates said something to him, obviously not wanting the guy to expose even more information to Xiao Lin.
Diana had indeed come out, and was being supported. She was practically carried out. The woman seemed to be in a state of half-consciousness, and a few Russians seemed to intentionally block Xiao Lin’s sight, stopping him from going over. However, Xiao Lin could occasionally see the woman, and the clothes on her body had practically been ripped apart. However, what was revealed were scales that covered her skin.
When Xiao Lin wanted to make sure, the other party did not give him the chance. Diana was quickly wrapped up with some clothes and brought away. Alexander shot Xiao Lin a helpless look before he left, which meant that there was no way Alexander could help. The Russian academy would definitely not allow anyone from Dawn Academy to know more.
Xiao Lin did not say or ask anything else. He was obviously not interested in Diana that way, but the scales that looked like a dragon’s gave him some food for thought. He knew that he had experienced that before as well. There was dragon’s blood within his body, which allowed him to possess a tiny amount of draconic power, which was why he could use dragon’s breath.
Last semester, Xiao Lin had gone on a rampage because of that power before, but after that, the power stayed hidden within his body, not appearing again.
“Whatever. It’s someone else’s problem.” After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin shook his head and stopped thinking about the matter.
The results of the friendly match still leaked out into the academy. Dawn Academy had definitely suffered a bad defeat, but Xiao Lin and Alexander’s results were intentionally concealed. Outside of the relevant people, everyone who had asked in private was rejected.
The monitors were not in a good mood, but Yu Mei was very calm as the training instructor. The Russian academy left very quickly after the match ended, but Xiao Lin and the others still needed to continue training. After the devastating defeat, everyone was more obedient, and even the usually unruly Han Manman did not dare to mock anyone at that moment, nor did she dare to say that she would have been able to do better.
Everyone could see that the Russian academy had been holding back this time because Alexander did not participate at all. Just Diana alone was enough to defeat all of them, so if Alexander was participating, they would have no chance.
There were no more friendly matches in the months that followed, but Xiao Lin heard from Song Junlang that the academy had planned on arranging another one or two matches, yet they cancelled them after considering how much the bout against Voyna Akademiya had damaged their confidence.

Legends of The Wesh: Lochley
The Universe is held together by something. It is an undisputable truth but nobody knows what that something is. People claim that it is connected by The Path of Legends, where Gods traversed trying to find the meaning of their own existence. Others claim that the universe is a Tree, connecting worlds with its extending branches and giving life-bearing fruits to its inhabitants. Several even claimed that the Universe is just a colony of ants, that this universe and the worlds in it are just as insignificant as insects. In one of the Worlds in it, the arrival of someone signaled great changes. Gods will die, Trees will Rot, Insects will burn. Those at the top had fallen and they will upend the worlds trying to claim what was theirs. Those at the bottom have had enough of scraps and they yearned to devour the fruits of the worlds.

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
