It had been two months since Draco's disappearance—or, as most believed, his death. Only Rose held onto the belief that he was still alive.
On the day of the incident, they heard a dragon's roar that left all of Calonia confused. Their confusion was soon answered: more Volkoids attacked Calonia, attempting to breach its defenses.
It seemed the dragon's roar was a call to "invade Calonia." The battles raged on, prompting the academy to send students to the military for training to prepare them for their future paths.
As part of the training, teams of five had to be formed. A new member, Daniel, an A-Ranked Fire Elementalist, joined their group. Blum recognized him from their encounter with the fire cloud bird Volkoid during the expedition. Daniel was also the Fire God's heir, which explained why he was quickly accepted into the team.
