I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Annie got up to sit up and looked around. She pursed her lips seeing how much area she had frozen. A look of guilt filled her face.

"Oh my god, I did it again," Annie said, cupping her hands over her face.

"Don't worry too much. After this everything will be fine," Conrad said with a smile.

Annie raised her head to stare at him. "What do you mean?"

"You've managed to see that point of bright light, right?" Conrad asked. Annie nodded.

"That means, you have almost complete control over your power. After this, you won't go berserk anymore."

Hearing that from Conrad Annie felt relief in her heart.

Maybe that's true. Because now Annie felt a different feeling inside herself.

That feeling can only be explained by, she has gained some control.

Annie stood up assisted by Conrad. Then she cast her gaze around until she finally realized what he had done.

Annie's face twisted into one of guilt once again.

"Did I do all this?" she asked. Even though she already knew the answer.

"Yeah. Who else?" Conrad answered it.

"There are two things that you can see here. First, your power has grown very well. And second, you haven't injured anyone."

Annie breathed a sigh of relief hearing that she didn't hurt anyone.

Just like before, her memory was foggy about what happened when she went berserk.

Steve, who had been watching from a distance, walked closer to them.

Because he saw that Annie had returned to normal, he dared to come closer.

When Annie turned she saw the state of Steve's face and she winced and gasped.

"Your face..." Annie pointed at Steve's bruised face.

"Yeah. You did this. Don't you remember?" Steve replied.

Annie bit her lip guiltily. "I-I'm sorry. I promise this won't happen again," Annie said.

Now her seemingly fragile girl nature is back again. Steve just stared at her.

Seeing her change very quickly from a raging ice monster woman, back to a timid and fragile female figure made him a little taken aback.

"Why did you say she didn't hurt anyone?" Steve asked Conrad with a look of displeasure on his face.

"You're fine, right? Besides, you have Magic in your body too. So you don't need to worry," Conrad said lightly.

"What do you mean? Can't you see that my fire Magic isn't working under this heavy rain?"

Conrad stared at him. "Even though your Magic doesn't work, now there is Magic in your body. You won't die that easily. If it was an ordinary person who was hit by that punch, then he or she would have frozen to death."

Steve paused as he pondered his words. So, because there is Magic in his body, now his body structure has changed to become stronger even though he can't use Magic to protect himself?

Suddenly Thomas's voice came from the megaphone.

"Hey, subjects. When you're done, you can come back here. I don't want you to get sick."

Conrad glanced at Steve and Annie. "Let's get in."

So the three of them entered the building.

While heavy rain, lightning, and wind continued to pour for several hours more.

When the morning of the new day has arrived, it is time for Erend to leave for the military headquarters.

Now there is no war anymore and Erend doesn't know what they should actually do in this peaceful time.

Erend exhaled in annoyance as he stood on the terrace of his house staring down the muddy path which he have to pass.

The dirty blackish mud could swallow his shoes if he stepped on them.

In addition, the mud is also slippery. One wrong step could make him fall and make his uniform dirty instantly.

Luckily, being born and raised in this environment made Erend used to this kind of terrain.

So he was sure that he can pass it well without falling. It's just that, the risk of falling and getting dirty is still not zero.

Arty came out shortly after. She stood next to Erend and then sighed almost the same as her older brother.

"I heard we're moving to the city," Arty said. Staring sadly at the muddy road in front of her.

"Wait a little longer. I'll ask about that later," Erend replied.

From here the two brothers and sisters look like a funny sight. The siblings were staring at the mud with sad and irritated faces that looked the same.

Not long after, their mother came over.

"What are you guys doing? Why haven't you left yet?" their mother asked with a frown of confusion.

Erend and Arty looked at her together with annoyed looks on their faces.

"You don't see this mud?" Arty said.

Erend nodded in agreement with his little sister.

Their mother sighed. "You guys have been through this since you were little but your reactions are always the same. How is today's mud different from yesterday's mud? You just have to live through it and go do your own thing!"

What their mother said was true and they both knew about it. They can do nothing but get through this annoying mud.

'I really need to speak about our to the General!' Erend was determined.

In the end, Erend and Arty made their way through the muddy ground and wallowed in dirty water.

When they got to the gate, they saw Billy talking to the two gatekeepers. Billy seems to have gotten here first.

The two gatekeepers looked reluctant to talk to Billy. Most likely because Billy deliberately said things to upset them.

"You guys are taking too long!" Billy groaned as Erend and Arty approached.

"How did you get through that mud safely?" Erend asked sarcastically.

Billy shrugged his shoulders while laughing. "I just walk through them and try not to slip."

Billy said goodbye to the two gatekeepers and then walked towards the car with Erend and Arty.
