First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Rewards

A black-haired girl slowly rose from her seat, wearing a flowing black dress that clung tightly to her body. A shadowy gown-veil hung over her head, casting a faint shadow over her pale, expressionless face.

Her skin was like porcelain, made more noticeable by the inky black lipstick that painted her lips. Dark kohl traced her eyes, matching the abyss-like black of her irises, and her fingernails—glossy and pitch black—flashed faintly as her hand brushed against her robes.

Each step she took made the crowd’s heart race in fear and trepidation. A few students shivered as she passed, yet no one dared to stare at her for more than a second as they all averted their gazes.

"Nyss Blackwell. Duke House Blackwell. Six Mana Channels. Mana Capacity: High. Tier 3 Thunder and Tier 3 Shadow Affinity."

"What the fuck! Another Advanced Affinity User???" A student nearly cried tears of regret for being born in this generation.

"The fuck is happening here?? Why are so many monsters rising in our time?" Some students actually felt like dropping out of the academy.

After all, even if they had Tier 2 Affinity, there was a considerable gap between their foundation and the foundation of these few monsters who stepped on the stage.

Meanwhile, Nyss ascended to the top of the floating platform and stood there alone—away from everyone.

"She’s like... goth royalty," someone whispered in awe.

"Thunder and Shadow—what a terrifying combo," another muttered. "No wonder they call her the Freak of House Blackwell."

Orion looked at her with shining eyes, ’Damn, a goth baddie.’

[Hehe Master, she looks perfect for you! See those calm and indifferent eyes, as if everyone here is beneath her. You will be the perfect match for her! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]

Orion inwardly chuckled, ’Calm down, I don’t know her behavior or anything. Who knows if we’re even compatible or not. Let’s just wait and see how everything goes.’

Elanora smiled sweetly looking at Nyss but didn’t comment further. After giving the crowd a few seconds to calm down, she continued.

"Third..." Pausing a little, she smiled faintly, "Emilia Ashborn."

The students looked at each other with wide eyes. They didn’t expect her to be ranked even above the Duke Heirs.

"She really lives up to that weapon."

"The Spear Saint’s daughter?!"

"She’s a monster with a spear! I heard she is as good as Sylvia with her weapon."

Arya, seated beside Orion, leaned slightly and whispered, "She deserves the recognition. She’s been training like a lunatic ever since she was five."

Orion softly smiled and nodded his head, and inwardly thought, ’Well, she needs to keep up with a monster like you. Of course she has to train hard.’

Emilia calmly rose from her seat with her unchanging expression.

"Emilia Ashborn. House Ashborn. Six Mana Channels. Mana Capacity: High. Tier 3 Thunder and Tier 3 Water Affinity."

She climbed atop the platform calmly and stood with Sylvia and Garron.

Elanora nodded at Emilia and continued to read, "Now, for our second-ranked student, and also one of the most talented throughout the history of our academy." She paused and took a deep breath, "Arya Stormrend!"

The crowd breathlessly looked at her before bursting out with cheers and applause. Nobles and commoners alike stood up to welcome her.
