Iode was running as fast as he can using wind magic towards a particular direction. Moments ago, Iode was deliberating on which beast to choose. He imagined the characteristics of both beasts.
"The Triochasmos is an animal with 3 horns, one at the nasal cavity, two at the brows and has a large frill on its head. They seems to move in groups, it will be a bit troublesome to try and sneak cut a horn from their multitude".
"But the Triogigantostegos is more of a solitary beast, it has 4 thagomizers at the tip of its tail and large plates on its back, it's the perfect one". Iode thought.
Presently, Iode is running towards the swamp, the natural habitat of the Triogigantostegos.
"I hope i don't meet any..."
"Rooooar"
Iode was cut off mid sentence as a medium sized dragon roared at Iode.
This dragon specie is called the "Dragone". They have a purple colored body with black patches at the head that ran through it back and to the tail.
Their wings are blue in color and have a large head crest. Their lower jaw is longer than the upper jaw. Being that their arms are joined with the wings, it crouched and stood before Iode.
He looked at Iode, Iode looked back at him. He tilted its head, still looking at Iode. Iode's heart was throbbing very loudly like it would jump out of his chest at any time, his eyes contracted and dimmed as if they would shrink out of existence.
"I knew the assessment was going too well, is the universe giving me a sign not to go to the Rohanes Academy? Do i have to fight a dragon? Out of all the animals in the swamp it had to be a dragon" Iode said in his mind.
"What's a lone wizard doing all the way in the swamp, not like i care, he's a delivered lunch from the universe". The dragone dragon thought.
At least that's what Iode thought the dragone would be thinking as he would have sworn he saw the dragone smirk.
Iode very well knows that he cannot outrun a dragon nor can he use invisibility magic because of two reasons. One, a one star mage cannot perform that magic. Two, dragons have an ability called 'dragon eyes'. This ability makes dragons see things beyond the scope of physical properties.
The dragone opened its mouth and breathe flames of fire towards Iode.
"Terra pelta". Iode shouted as well of earth sprung up shielding him from the flame.
"Earth spike". Iode said as he gently touched the earth wall and spikes were shooting out of the wall to the dragone.
The Dragone flew a few meters above the ground to evade the shooting spikes and have an ariel advantage against Iode. He breathes fire again right above Iode.
"Aqua pelta". Water surrounding Iode covered him as the fire scorched the water surface.
The fire breath of the dragon was stronger than the water shield. The water was evaporating too fast for the water shield to replenish.
"Ventus propulsius". Iode said as wind in form of a cyclone pushed iode away from the dragone fire breath.
"This place is filled with water which is just the perfect counter to your fire breath". Iode said.
"Aqua conjure". Water of the swamp gathered towards Iode and formed a huge bubble of water above Iode.
The dragone attempts to evaporate the water above Iode using its fire.
"Aqua whip". Water in form of a whip tied the dragone leg and and pulled him to the ground. But Iode is yet to be done.
"Aqua barrage". Huge water jet from the water bubble spewed towards the dragon.
"Frost seal". The water that covered the dragone's body began to freeze.
