About two hours later, Mia ordered everyone to gather around.

Ana returned alone. The moment she saw Mia, she nodded her head and smiled. But Mia couldn't help but roll her eyes.

‘ Ana thought to herself.

‘

Mia said as she looked at Ana.

‘

Mia said strictly.

‘ After I dismiss you, you know what to do next? If you dare slack on the training, I will have you running all night’, Mia added seriously as she looked around. She ordered two deputies to supervise the training as she left with the other deputies.

The young candidates ran around the dragon field at once except three other people.

If Ana also ran ten laps like the others, she would be able to finish much quicker. But Mia asked her to run twenty laps which left her unwilling to run.

Mia didn't say when Ana had to finish running twenty laps, so she had the freedom to run around the dragon field in her own pace. Other young candidates had finished running five laps while Ana only ran less than two laps and even happily sang tunes as she ran slowly.

But at that time, Ana didn't notice the big red figure in the sky. Except Ana, everyone's attention were drawn to it as they stopped to watch it .

‘ Dragon! It must be a dragon!’

‘ So powerful! I don't know when I would be able to posses a war dragon. If I do, I would be very happy even if it is a very normal one’

‘ Me too! Even if I had to spend all my money on it, I would be willing to do it without hesitation!’

‘ You could only dream! If you want to take control of a dragon, you must be a royal spirit manipulator and have the strength above the Earthly stage. Even if you can meet the said condition, you would only be able to control a war dragon of one star. Dragons are much harder to control than normal war beasts and spirit beasts . You need to have impeccable strength to control them’

When these young candidates exclaimed, the red figure quickly flew to the back of Ana.

Ana heard a loud roar behind her. She turned her back and then saw the big red dragon, glowing like the sun. Ana was surprised by what she saw.

‘ Dragon?’ Ana couldn't forget the first time she met a dragon, the one controlled by Shirley. She almost died during that time. Who owned this red dragon?

As she raised her head, she saw a beautiful women watching her coldly as she sat on the back of the red dragon.

‘ Mia’, Ana shouted with a painful expression. All of a sudden, a bad feeling crawled up Ana's spine.

She didn't know what to expect. Ana didn't react until the big dragon opened his mouth to fire.

Ana shouted out,‘ Oh, my god!’ at once, Ana was terrified so she ran as fast as she could. She thought that the women was not only capricious but also malicious.

‘ Scarlet flame dragon go play with her and have fun’, Mia softly touched her dragon.

The scarlet flame dragon flapped it's huge wings to closely run after Ana. It would occasionally spit fire from it's mouth leaving Ana no choice but to run faster and faster.

As soon as the leading young candidates saw Ana's painful situation, they all laughed loudly and applauded .

‘ What do you think you're doing? Do not dare to stop running. Or do you want to end up in the same situation as her?’ two deputies shouted at the young candidates.

The moment they heard it, they immediately grew nervous and continued running again.

Ana didn't know how long she had run. She was so exhausted that she was starting to fall over her own feet. But the scarlet flame dragon had no plans on waiting for Ana.

Suddenly her right arm caught the dragon's flame. At that moment, her right hand sleeve was burnt away in many places.

‘ Oh, shit! I thought you were just kidding. You are serious!’ Ana cursed in her mind. Mia didn't show her any mercy. Ana had to run as fast as her legs could carry .

Ana panted heavily as she slowed down. Finally, she fell down on her knees and had to use her hands to support her body.

But the scarlet flame dragon was not going to stop anytime soon.

‘ Howl! Howl!’

All of a sudden, a tiny figure rushed towards Ana in an attempt to protect her from the attack of the scarlet flame dragon.

Ana turned around and saw her beast.

‘ Does it want to save my life?’

Mia who was sitting on the back of the scarlet flame dragon only wanted to teach Ana a lesson.

Once she saw Ana's beast, she didn't want to cause anymore trouble and asked the Scarlet flame dragon to stop.
