After class, as Licht and Liebe were talking, Iris said, "Liebe, didn't you say you would help me train?"
Liebe replied, "Yeah, I forgot about that. Is after classes okay?"
Iris said, "Yeah."
Liebe asked, "But what exactly do you need help with? Plus, Licht is better at that stuff than me."
Iris explained, "Basically, magic control and spells."
Licht thought to himself, All down my aisle… and Liebe, thanks for being my wingman, dude.
Then Lumos said, "Absolutely not. Your body is pushed far enough. As your friend and a healer in the making, if you have time, go to bed."
Licht heard this and thought inside, Dumbass… what the hell is wrong with you? Two more minutes and I would have been able to say something—I will murder you.
Liebe said, "I will. After Mother is discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow, until then, I have to maintain CKH hospital security. Plus, I have a pile of paperwork in my office, and I won't be able to sleep anyway."
Lumos said, "I don't suggest it, but at least for tonight, take a sleeping pill. I'll help if you can't. Using your magic to stay awake is just multiplying the strain on your body."
Liebe said, "It's fine. I will recover. It's not like my darkness will let me die that easily. In fact, even if I try to die, my darkness protects me no matter what."
Then Licht said, "Liebe, we gotta go."
Liebe asked, "Why? What happened?"
Licht said, "It's time—it's hatching. Let's go."
They rushed to their dorm room to see Licht's Tiamyss egg starting to hatch in the water. They heard cracking sounds and saw Liebe's black dragon egg also hatching. From Licht's egg came a small snake-like creature, and from Liebe's came a small dragon.
Liebe said, "Damn, are they cute!"
But they couldn't open their eyes. Then Alysa and her Death Gripper entered the room.
Liebe asked, "Anything to do?"
Alysa said, "Stella, do the thing."
Liebe said, "Stella? That's the name you settled on? Not bad."
Alysa said, "Thanks." Stella just licked their eyes open.
Liebe said, "Here, little guy, welcome to the world. How about we name you Fang?"
Licht said, "How about we name you Lido?"
Liebe said, "Both of the pets grew."
Liebe continued, "Oh, you must be hungry, little dude. Here—dark magic dark orb." Fang ate it and grew.
Liebe said, "Oh, you want more?"
Licht said, "I guess—light magic bar of light." Lido also ate it.
Alysa said, "Looks like they are happy."
Then they returned to class with their familias.
Iris said, "Licht, is that a Tiamyss?"
Licht said, "Yeah, he only hatched a few hours ago, so he isn't in the mood."
Olivia said, "Oh, and this is my familia—a Ice Golem. He is known as Gelieth."
Licht said, "Damn, that's a big boy."
Olivia said, "He is just 3 meters tall, but he is cool."
After class, Professor Obsidian summoned Liebe and Licht to his office.
As they entered, Professor Obsidian said, "Do you know why we called you here?"
Liebe said, "Umm… is it because we ended up skipping classes a lot because of reasons?"
Professor Obsidian said, "Actually, it was five days in a week you missed."
Liebe said, "We are sorry, sir."
Licht said, "Please forgive us."
Obsidian said, "Yes, Liebe, you are excused because you are now a captain and an official application was signed. But Licht, your punishment is execution."
Licht said, "For missing class?"
Liebe said, "Please forgive him, sir. I know he is an idiot—irresponsible, lazy, and dumb—but listen, sir, please don't kill him. No one will even come to his funeral."
Obsidian said, "Just kidding. But the real reason I called you here is to look at your familia. I'm a fan of looking at rare familia. Do you know how to take care of them?"
Liebe said, "Not really. So far, I have been feeding Fang pieces of my dark magic."
Obsidian said, "They require proper food and grooming. For dragons, they shed their scales every 120 days, and for Tiamyss, it's every 75 days. Okay?"
Liebe said, "Understood."
