Once Samantha led everyone to the cafeteria table everyone started to dig in and we're enjoying it till Sam said
"How is your training? I hope you are making progress"
Cindy grew her tails and said as she grabbed another bowl of food using her tail
"I am getting the hang of using my tails but that's all I could manage"
Sam nodded and said as he finished a bowl
"That's okay as it's only the very first day of training but how about the rest of you?"
Jim stood up and said as he grew a single wing that spanned over 4ft wide
"I managed to grow a whole wing but nothing else so I will try harder"
Sam looked at the wing and nodded before phill placed a pair of
"We followed your guidance and crafted these items"
Sam grabbed one of the swords and the boots and inspected them both
[Dragon Sword]
(A Dragon sword made by a promising Dragon Smith yet still with flaws in the design) [Dragon Boots] (A pair of dragons boots made by a dragon smith who was much to learn) Sam smiled at the items and said as he continued eating "Very good, I'll be sure to test them later tonight while you all sleep in your dorms" Mary and the others looked at sam confused before Mary asked sam "Master where are you going?" Sam pulled out the "As you know this index will contain all the information you need to know to face a draconian beast so tonight I am heading down the mountain to fill this book in with more information" Everyone was please to know their leader wasn't going to abandon them and was just going to go down the mountain to kill some wild beast Usually someone would think Sam would be insane to willingly fight the Draconic beasts but Sam's followers knew that Sam was the strongest of them all as they had doubts that if it was everyone versus Sam that they would win after seeing Sam's Once everyone had eaten their fill Sam stood up and said as Harry and phill collected the bowls and utensils before taking them to the back to clean them "Alright now that's everyone's bellies are full take a bath in the Healing pool for no more then 15 minutes then head off to your dorms and don't stay up too late" Everyone stood up and said in unison before they left the cafeteria "Goodnight Master Stone" Sam sat back down and tried on the "Taylor was it? What's troubling you?" Taylor stopped a foot away from Sam before she suddenly hugged him saying "I just want to say thank you for letting me join the faction" Sam patted her head and said as she let go of Sam "It's alright I simply offered for you and your friends to join me and you accepted so cheer up and go join the others" Taylor smiled and hastily walked away towards the baths before Sam made his way out side and looked down on the ash forest and said to himself as he grew his wings and took to the skies in search of new dragon species to hunt 'Let's do as much as possible before sunrise' Once Sam had landed at the base of the mountain he was in the cloak of darkness as he felt flakes of ash falling from the trees above him as he thought 'So this is why it's called the Ash forest, interesting' Sam still could barely see through the ash and closed his eyes for a moment before his eyes changed to his draconian eyes where he now had complete vision in the night and smiled before he heard a feint cry that somewhat resembled a rooster doing its morning call before Sam followed the noise to see a new dragon Subspecies and drew his swords before he got closer and got a clearer look at the beast in front of him before he noticed a name floating over the beast [Lv15 Ash Bird] Sam watched it closely and saw it looked like a reptilian chicken that was over 10ft tall and nearly 8ft long before sam grew his tail and wings and stepped out gaining its attention however instead of charging towards sam it started eating a small pile of ash before it spewed out of its mouth a cloud of smoke before it ran away however it couldn't escape sam who flew up with his wings and cut the Ash bird in half before he heard some notifications appear [You have killed a [Index of the [You have gained 16 [You have gained 4 [You have gained 6 Sam wanted to check his new materials but was stopped when he heard multiple Ash bird cries around him before sam was surrounded by over a dozen ash birds and said as he held his swords up "So you guys hunt in packs? That makes things easier for me then After a couple minutes the last ash bird was killed with a notification popped up saying [You have killed a [You have reached Lv11] [Index of [You have gained 8 [You have gained 2 [You have gained 3 Sam quickly pulled out the Sam smiled at this new information before he felt the ground tremble a little before he took to the sky and looked around to see a 50 foot worm going in and out of the ground in a circle before sam flew in for a closer look and saw it's name and its level Sam saw it's level and said as he kept high enough for the worm to not see him "I doubt I'll be able to handle that thing, I should look elsewhere" However before Sam flew away he saw a small dirt pile in the centre of the worm's circles and saw a clutch of eggs and wondered 'Does the index included hatchlings? It doesn't specify how old they have to be? Hmm" However just then he heard the dragons voice in his ear say ""Young Master, do not cower from a creature who burrows into the mud and attack with no fear"" Sam now felt the sudden urge to battle the Earth worm as he gripped his swords tightly and screamed out as the moonlight shined on the earth worm "This is my mountain and I am the Dragon Master! Sam had gained the Earth worm's attention before it dug back into the ground leaving Sam to think as he continued flying "Where'd you go" Suddenly the earth worm came out of the ground below Sam and tried to swallow him whole but miss as Sam dived down and landed some cuts down its body before he saw the earth worm going back into the ground again however this time Sam flew high up and waited for the earth worm to surface before he went in for another attack as he guessed the worm would have to resurface again for air and just as Sam had guessed the Earth worm rose back up to the surface and began to circle around the eggs once again Sam dived down and slashed the back of the Earth worm before it started to follow Sam at incredible speeds for a creature of its size before Sam looked back as saw it was following close behind him and said as his rotated his whole body to fly towards the earth worm "I don't got all night! Let's finish this! Ahhh!" Just as the worm opened its humongous mouth to swallow Sam whole Sam pictured a thunderstorm in his mind before he yelled out " Out from Sam's mouth a dragon made of lightning shot out and flew inside of the earth worm before Sam dived below the earth worm's mouth and saw the earth worm barrow into the ground before it suddenly exploded in bits and pieces as Sam landed on the ground to catch his breath while the system rewarded Sam [You have Killed a [You have reached Lv.17] [Index of [You have gained 84 [You have gained 1 <(Normal)Draconian Earth core>] Sam saw the notifications and roared for his victory before he turned and saw that the Earth worm eggs had hatched and that the hatchlings were nowhere to be found however Sam didn't worry as it would probably take years for them to be fully grown and by then Sam will destroy them all with ease but Sam looked at the Dragon temple and saw that the sun was rising before Sam grew his wings and headed back to the temple and hopped into the healing pool where he let his worries fade away before he dried himself off and saw everyone coming out of their dorms and into the man hall where they said in unison to Sam "Good morning Master Stone" Sam smiled and said before he pulled out the dragon index and said as he started walking towards the cafeteria "Good morning, you will all be please to know I have made some discoveries but first let's have breakfast" As they were walking to the cafeteria Mary walked beside Sam and said "Master last night I stayed up later then the others training with the Dragon spear you had made when all of a sudden I became stronger and faster for a few minutes before it was gone, is it a side effect of some kind to the pool?" Sam thought for a moment and said as he realized that the "No that was a skill of mine that I used to kill a beast, it temporarily made me stronger then before for 5 minutes before it ended" Everyone sat down at the table while Cindy and Samantha went to prepare breakfast in the kitchen before Ruth asked Sam "So master stone what did you hunt down last night" Sam placed the "I will tell you all In the dojo later when we are training but I did obtain something truly great" Everyone paid close attention as Sam pulled out the <(Normal)Draconian Earth core> and set it on the table for everyone to see and said while looking at the Olson brothers "Just like when I handed you both a Draconian Earth core you gained fantastic power however those cores were the Lesser version of what you see now" The brothers and everyone else were shocked as they didn't know that the cores the two Olson brothers were given had the worst quality compared to the one in front of them Jim grumbled a little and said as he clenched his fists "Dammit now one of them will be even stronger" Sam laughed a little and said as he started to absorb the Draconian core in front of them all "A treasure such as this is mine as the one rule in this faction is that you have to earn it for it to be yours" The expressions on the Olson brothers faces were gloomy as the others felt relieved that they hadn't been given the core before the bright light faded away revealing Sam had grown spikes all over his tail before everyone started clapping while Sam looked at the system messages [You have absorbed a <(Normal)Draconian Earth core> and have gain 100 [You have absorbed a <(Normal)Draconian Earth core> and have gain the Skill [Sam Stone] [Level 1 Draconic Core] [Level 17] [Stats] [Health:4,120/4,120] [Stamina:5,985/5,985 [Strength:365] [Agility:200] [Intellect:550] [Dexterity:465] [Skills] Sam was surprised to find that he was given 100 stat points into his strength and dexterity stats before he saw Samantha and Cindy pushing a food cart with plates of scrambled eggs, toast, bacon and sausages and said as he sat back down "After everyone has eating we will meet in to the dojo for today's Morning lesson" As everyone started eating Ruth asked Sam "Master, when would we start hunting these wild beasts" Sam shook his head and said as he held up one of the dragon swords phill had made "First you must be equipped to fight them so during the next week while you all focus on your training I will have Harry and phill make dragon armour and weapons with the materials I supply them and secondly you must now your enemies to the bones and I will teach you all of the Draconic beasts at the bottom of the mountain using the dragon index" Ruth and the others felt the sincerity in Sam's words as he just wanted them prepared for any dangers Once Sam had finished his plate he stood up and said while he rubbed Samantha's head "Training starts in 20 minutes so eat up and ready yourselves"
