I put on the gown.

It was a long sapphire-blue silk dress that showed off my shoulders and neckline and hugged my waist just right.

The ball hadn't started yet.

Professor Hale came over with a grin to tease me.

"I've been teaching you all this time and had no idea you had ancient true dragon blood. Come on, tell me. What famous tutor have you been seeing on the side to climb to first place so fast?"

I put a finger to my lips and shushed her, trying to sound mysterious. "Professor, that's still a

  • Trapped With My Ice Dragon Professor Until I Won   Chapter 11

    Before I left the Academy, I ran into Jason one more time.He looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.It was the first time I'd seen him look insecure, as if he didn't dare come near me.Right before we went our separate ways, he stopped me."You don't like me anymore?""No. I don't."I didn't understand why he looked so hurt and lost.I'd heard he and Rebecca broke up.But none of that mattered to me.I'd already packed my bags and was ready to head out to my own territory.Marcel was waiting outside the door.He had a suggestion."I happen to be free, and you'll need to study ancient magic in your territory. Why don't we go together?"And just like that, there were two sets of luggage.As we built our new life, we made time to enjoy it together.He always saved the spot beside him for me. He put everything I liked to eat right in front of me, and the second I lifted a hand, he knew what I was reaching for.Little by little, I got used to having him in every

"Professor, that's still a secret for now."Professor Hale shrugged, laughing. "All right. I look forward to the big reveal."A commotion broke out by the door.Marcel had walked in.For once, he wore formal clothes, with a brooch pinned to his chest that matched my gown.It only made him look more devastatingly handsome.Our eyes met across the crowd.My heart skipped a beat for no reason at all.[Ding.]For the first time in a while, the System spoke up.[Congratulations on ranking up. Final reward unlocked!][Find the

    The day of the Dragon Trials finally came.Only the winner of the Trials would be assigned the best territory.I drew the last number.Jason and Rebecca both passed, one after the other.Rebecca came in fifth, and Jason was in first place for now.He couldn't wait to come show off in front of me."Cordelia, the best territory is mine. Don't feel too bad. You're just a runt, after all.""Then let's find out."I finished the basic skills assessment, and when it came to the combat round, I picked Jason as my opponent without a second thought.I didn't underestimate him.I put up a lightning barrier around myself at once. Marcel had taught me that spell, and it was about as strong as a barrier could get.Then I swung a lightning whip. I'd actually gotten the idea from the ultimate punishment.The whip caught Jason around the neck and yanked him to the ground, right into the circle I'd just drawn.I'd drawn the same circle under Rebecca's feet at the same time.The next second, they both va

    That night, the only sound in the room was the scratch of my pen.In front of me were a bottle of energy tonic and a big bag of snacks.Marcel had moved his chair across from me again.His hair was half dry, falling into his eyes, and he was looking down.Something's off. Why is he mad again?Marcel noticed me staring and glanced up, his tone lazy."Can't do the problems, so now you want to chat?""No." But why did it feel like we were giving each other the cold shoulder again?"Get back to work," he said. "One more spot up, and we'll both be out of this room soon."Seeing Marcel every night, I'd almost forgotten.He was here against his will.If he spent enough time with me, he was bound to get sick of me.Once the spell broke, we'd go right back to being strangers.Those thoughts stayed with me until the day before the Dragon Trials, when the headmaster addressed us on the field with an impassioned speech.A familiar voice rang in my head.[Ding!]The System had an announcement.[Con

    The weekend the monthly exam scores came out, the Academy held a showcase of competitive events.I sat in the auditorium's curved tiers of seats, still riding the high of my better score.I was still in second place, but I was only one point behind Jason.The System counted my improvement as a success at this stage of the mission and said my reward would come later.Just then, a student who specialized in fire magic went onstage to perform.She showed the audience a giant spark ball, then made it burst into an enormous firework.It worked just like my homemade spark beads, and I smiled.That was when I noticed Marcel sitting on the other side of the auditorium.Across the cheering crowd, our eyes met.We hadn't really seen each other in public in ages.Remembering that moment we'd shared gave me a little thrill I couldn't explain.Suddenly someone grabbed my arm.It was Jason.He didn't even say hi before he started in on me."Working this hard just so you can get the same territory as

    Still, no matter how much I dodged him during the day, at night I was stuck with him in that sealed room.The [Can't Leave Until You Rank Up] room.The moment I teleported in and saw Marcel, my legs moved before I could think.I'd already spun around to leave when I remembered it was only the two of us in here.So I quietly turned back around.As usual, Marcel had brought a bottle of energy tonic, and he put it down on the desk.He looked at me as though daring me to run again."We see each other every single night. Is there really any need to dodge me like that?"His voice was lazy, impossible to read.I don't get it. Isn't this exactly what he asked for?He pulled his chair over and sat down across from me, close enough that I couldn't ignore it."What are you doing?" I asked.He said sitting closer made it easier to follow how I worked through problems.I put my head down and got to work.The problem was his legs were too long. Even bent under the desk as we sat face to face, they s
