First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Heading to Academy

Taking a deep breath, he lifted the spear into the air with both hands. It responded to his touch like a living thing, with perfect balance, the weight shifting ever so slightly as he willed it.

"Amazing..." he whispered.

Selene folded her hands, watching his reaction with pride. "I call it Black Dragon Spear. It may not have a will of its own yet, but its potential is vast. If you keep feeding it mana and improve its rune later, it may very well awaken in time."

"Black Dragon Spear..." Orion repeated, testing the weight runes with a few light sweeps and thrusts beside the table.

Despite the narrow space, he moved with ease, and the spear didn’t even come close to touching a chair or wall. It was like it moved through the air untouched.

Eldric raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed. "Well damn, she spoiled you again, boy."

Selene snorted softly. "I simply ensured my grandson won’t die swinging a stick."

Orion laughed, giving the spear a final spin before placing it inside his inventory and sitting down. "Thank you, Grandma. Now I will need to learn spear as well."

Selene’s eyes softened, her expression warm. "I know you can do it. After all, you are the most talented person I have seen."

Orion chuckled and nodded his head, "Does Uncle Edgar know anything about a spear?"

Eldric laughed and shook his head, "No, he doesn’t know S of spear, no point in looking for him for this."

Orion slightly frowned, thinking about where he could find someone to teach him.

Selene, seeing him thinking so hard, began to say something.

"Cough." Eldric, however, suddenly coughed loudly, "Ah, I think something got stuck in my throat." He said to the two of them who were looking at him. Orion nodded his head and lowered his head to think.

While Selene looked at him weirdly, she clearly understood what the look on his face meant. He didn’t want her to help Orion find someone to learn the spear from.

She furrowed her brows, but in the end decided to listen to him.

The rest of the meal passed with quiet conversation and familial warmth. Orion shared bits of his upcoming plans.

When breakfast was over, Orion rose from his seat and adjusted his uniform, adjusting the sword at his waist while checking the spear in his inventory before he made his way towards the exit.

Selene watched him go with a warm expression before she turned her head and looked at Eldric with a questioning look, "What was that about?"

Eldric stroked his beard, "We already had Edgar teach him swordsmanship. Don’t you think he should learn to find opportunities on his own?"

Selene narrowed her eyes in thought.

Eldric continued with a smile, "He already knows swordsmanship, so we won’t have to worry about his self-defense."

"Hmm, but you are making his life unnecessarily hard." She softly said.

Eldric’s expression turned serious, "We do not know what the future holds for us. In these tumultuous times, it’s best to be as prepared as possible. Not like he will stop his sword practice."

The two of them continued to discuss some of the recent events.

Orion, on the other hand, exited the dining hall with smooth steps as the sunlight greeted him. He stepped out of the estate and onto the marble pathway leading to the front courtyard.

Orion shook his head. "Anyways, do you know anything about the spear, Brother Lucan?"

Lucan’s eyes lit up as he heard him call him brother, "Ahem, this brother of yours may be useless in other stuff, but I’m a top-tier material for picking up girls from a you—"

"Spears. Young Master asked for spears, you womanizer." Edgar gritted his teeth and said.

Lucan rubbed the back of his head and sheepishly replied, "Ahaha, I’m pretty useless with a spear. I know a bit of swordsmanship only."

"Haaa..." Orion shook his head and boarded the carriage.

Edgar followed him inside while giving Lucan the look ’You are dead meat’.

Lucan chuckled and hopped into the driver’s seat. With a quiet crack of the reins and the smooth rumble of wheels, the carriage began its journey down the road toward Thunderpeak Royal Academy.

Inside the carriage, Edgar looked at him and took out a small pouch, "Here, Young Master. You should be low on Mana Crystals by now. Master told me to give them to you."

He handed Orion a bag filled with Mana Crystals.

Orion took them over and looked inside to see Hundred High Grade Spirit Stones. His eyes lit up as he had indeed been running on fumes after spending all of his money on...err gacha.

[Master!!! Mana Crystals!! So manyyyyy! We can do 10 draws with them!! (☆▽☆)]

’Oh hell nah, I’m a poor beggar right now with no money. I’m not yet addicted enough to gambling that I don’t even save money for use.’

"Thanks, Uncle Edgar, I was indeed low on money." He gratefully said.

Edgar nodded with a smile and didn’t say anything.
