As usual Helix woke up in the embrace of his cute contracted mage. Cecilia was having a peaceful dream as she slept.
He left the bed carefully as not to disturb her sleep and moved outwards from the castle.
"The sun is not risen yet huh!" Helix spoke as he swiftly ran towards the deep forest.
The surroundings are still little dark as it's still an hour late on sunrise.
"Now let's begin our practice".
Helix is currently wearing his black training suit as he wielded his special sword covered in sheath around his waist.
He unsheathed his sword and start practicing with it.
He swinged the sword one thousand times in same trajectory from upward to downwards.
Then, he started practicing with falling leaves.
Every time a leaf fall from the nearby large trees he bisected them cleanly in two halves. Just like this he had cutting the leaves in an rapid speed from one place to another for half an hours.
This showed his precision in his sword attacks.
After that, he sheated his sword in the scabbard and posed an hand fight millitary position.
One hand just little behind another as he practiced hand to hand combat on a dead tree trunk.
Helix used physical reinforcement on his hands as red colour aura surrounded his hand and he began punching on a big rock.
He punched the rock until it crumbles down.
He began to move in the forest with astonishing speed as there was very little vision in the surrounding. He tried evading every obstacle in the way using silent foot steps.
Even in this darkness his legs never faltered from his path as he continued his
training to learn the movement techniques.
Afterwards, Helix practiced some spells like fireball to increase his accuracy and mana usages efficiency to reduce the consumption of extra mana used.
As, his today's training routine finished, he changed his clothes in more comfortable ones stored in the inventory.
"Why is my crest started glowing now" Helix thought as his crest glowed and the familiar subspace opened on his own where dragon egg is residing.
Suddenly an intense white light surrounded as dragon egg came out from the subspace shining in the surrounding dark and silent environment.
Helix put the egg on ground and started giving it's warm mana and then finally a crack appeared on the egg which slowly grown wider.
Soon egg broke and a little silver skinned dragon appeared on her four legs, two little closed wings on her upper back with a red tail just on top of the lower back. It's body is covered with icy blue scales and has two very small horn on her little head.
The new born creature's closed eyes slowly opened as helix saw her vertical straight reptilian pupil rotating in its blue colour eye.
"Huuu.."
The dragon produced a sound from his mouth as cold air came from his mouth.
Dragon finally noticed helix as she walked towards him.
Helix picked the dragon in his arms absentmindly as both looked at each other in silence.
After few seconds, Helix said
"From today onwards you will be called as
'Icirine'."
Icirine nuzzled on his hands softly as accepting her name.
"It seems she is a female as i thought and can already understand me little bit", must be due to connection between us.
Helix thought as he started caressing her head.
Suddenly dragon closed her eyes and slept just like that.
"She is just like a new born baby" Helix thought as he put her back in the summoning space.
"System, show me her stats" Helix told the the system in his mind through telepathy.
[Yes master!]

"Wow, she has three type of elements. This will make her attacks very efficient, she will be an incredible and very reliable partner for me in the near future." Helix thought as he spoke about the Icirine potential.
The news of the rise of a new baron Rank lord must have reached to all other neighbouring nation lord's by now or so helix thought as he exited the forest.
"The sun has now risen. Let's get back to the castle before Cecilia starts searching me everywhere." Helix spoke as he sprinted towards the castle picking up his speed.
*******************************************
In a different neighbouring country of the Helix's castle, a group has been hunting and practicing their skills.
One of them was a big muscular man, another one was Archer and a Lord with its contracted mage.
The muscular man was weilding gloves as he is fighting a boar, suddenly their lord exclaim.
"What? Mest Meadrich has lost his castle overnight. By whom?" The young lord roared excitedly in a loud sound.
"An unknown lord simply raided his castle for broking the treaty between mage academy and the order of crest." The mage answered his question with little tension.
"The lord's name is Helix and he also announced that he is going to join over Militia alliance rather than peace union."
The Mage continued.
"Oh! how fortunate for us don't you think.
Just when we on the brink of war between union and alliance, a crest and a territory
directly came into our laps.
Let's raid it before any other lord does." The young lord can be seen filled with joy about this news.
"I have not any problem with this attack but if we are goona do this cross border invasion, i am sure lords of our union will give you an earfull of warning." The mage foretold him to be prepared.
"But when i gain the crest, they will not mind it" Lord spoke as he ignored his warning.
"Lets prepare for the attack", The Lord told his group mets showing his sword skill on a training dummy.
They have no idea about the danger as they are going to hunt in a dragon's Den considering a wolf. Later they will know it's the worst mistake they had made without any precautions.
