As the year passed, life at the Dragon Academy became a whirlwind of training, battles, and unexpected challenges.
Cua, true to his nature, gained both admirers and rivals. His reckless strength and battle-hungry attitude made him infamous among the students, and soon, it was common to hear his name being whispered through the halls.
"As expected of the Dragon Queen's heir," one student muttered in awe.
"But did you hear? His butler is even scarier."
"Yeah, the human, Asher Magnus. Some say he doesn't even flinch when facing dragons twice his size."
While Cua dominated the battle rankings, Asher, despite his initial reluctance, found himself constantly being sought out by nobles and high-ranking dragon families—many of whom wanted him as their personal butler.
"Mr. Magnus, our family would pay handsomely if you considered serving our house," one noble dragoness said, her voice dripping with interest.
