As Vinarola speaks, the golden sphere floating in mid-air shudders for a moment.
The next instant,
An overpowering dragon aura bursts forth from the center of the sphere, filling the room. Along with the dispersal of the dragon aura, faint golden rays of magical light slowly gather on the sphere and suddenly form a large vertical dragon eye.
"Lord Dragon King," Vinarola says, clasping her hands together in excitement, her head touching the ground like a devout believer.
Indeed,
This golden sphere floating in mid-air is none other than the Heart of the Sacred Dragon, the academy's most prized possession. Contrary to outside speculation, this Sacred Dragon Heart is not an inanimate object but contains the living consciousness of the Dragon King.
