"Alright, I'll get that done, you seem to be decided to get there, and Cattalina will be accompanying you anyways." Sighed Hasan. "She's one of our strongest professors… And I am sure that you were able to defeat Satan's Vessel thanks to her. However, there will be a condition."

"Condition?" Asked Elfriedden. "What condition you want? I simply need their help to take down the demons invading my Kingdom's territory, I'm not asking them to free the whole continent of any threat."

"Ugh, you damn brats are so annoying, never let me finish…" Hasan sighed. "The condition I'm talking about is that you need to promise me something. Do not die!"

"Oh, that's it?" I asked. "You're sure corny…"

"I-I'm trying to be serious here, Blake!" Hasan said. "You better not die there; we've invested a lot on all of you already. Your Familiars are an incredible asset we cannot miss. So you better win!"

"I will, don't worry about that." I smiled. "Anyways, we should get going. I assume we're free from the academy now, right?"

"I suppose, but you will not come for the end of the year banquet at least?!" Hasan asked as we walked away.

"Meh, we'll rather be in the dungeon once it regenerates monsters." Erika shrugged.

"I've never been good in these sorts of festivities." Elizabeth said.

"What's a banquet anyways?" Chris wondered.

"It's a place where rich people eat together I think… Seeing how most students are nobles, they must be used to these sorts of things." Eric said. "It is a fancy party, they sometimes dance…"

"Y-Yeah, my Kingdom didn't have those." Alberta said.

"I always skipped the dance and went to hang out with Rosen." Said Elfriedden. "She was an introverted girl, usually moving to the rooftop to watch the stars and the moon… Away from everyone else. She only accepted me at her side."

"I see…" I laughed, as we walked away, I heard Hasan's angry noises and Ataraxia running behind us.

"W-Wait, my dear students! Please give me a bit more details! I really want to learn what happened in the dungeon; it is all for the sake of research!" Ataraxia said.

"You can come to our house then, Ataraxia. Let's have a tea while we discuss what happened." Cattalina invited her.

"Really? Thank you so much, Cattalina! You're such a nice girl as always~" Ataraxia was much older than Erika's mother, despite acting like a less mature person.

She was a passionate Alchemist Professor that loved to create things and do research of all kinds. Apparently she taught most of the human teachers here at some point. There are a couple elves too though, but Evelyn and the rest are all humans.

Even Cattalina was her student, maybe a couple hundred years ago. This Academy is much older than some might think, it has been the true stronghold of humanity to fight against the Demons, specifically made to help strong people become even stronger to fight the demons and defend our world.

I checked her Status to see if I could see anything, I haven't noticed a strong Aura from her, and I've only seen she has a couple of Spirits that resemble Alchemy Tools, so I have no idea what her strength is…

[Name]: [Ataraxia Greenwood Flowerbed]

[Race]: [High Elf]

[Spirit Orb Realm]: [Rank 7 (Middle Stage)]

[Talent]: [Divine Spirit Alchemist Great Grandmaster: ★★★★★★]

Even if she was born with a Five Star Talent, she already went through an Ascension Trial and her Rank 7, nonetheless!

She's strong, despite her appearance and her job that doesn't involve fighting. I suppose she needs to be strong anyways, if Alchemy Spirits manifest when she makes powerful items, she has to be strong enough to defeat them.

We walked back home, where I had to explain to her what happened. We also let her buy some of the monster corpses we had. I allowed her to take some scales and flesh from the boss, for a price too.

We ended making a nice profit of at least a few dozen million, she said this was a great discovery, and that if things went well, we would receive another payment for this, which would then be registered in a Dungeon Book, and probably in a bestiary.

"Take you so much for everything! I don't want to bother you anymore, so I'll get going!" Ataraxia flew away as fast as she got here.

"Take care, Ataraxia." Cattalina waved her hand.

After that, we were finally allowed to chill… And the first thing I did was rush back to my room and close the door, I needed some time alone to assess all the things I acquired.

First of all, I decided to get to the important point, and took out the True Fire Dragon Heart, the Blood Bottle, and then the Boss' Heart too.

"Are you sure you want to use all these for yourself, Master? Maybe we could use them to help little Ruby grow stronger too." Eleanora recommended me.

"It is certainly possible, but it would be better if master grew stronger first! Also, Ruby has a slow growth, he hasn't reached the required level to evolve yet." Hendrick said.

"Yeah, I would have given him a part if that were the case, but I'll simply use other materials for his evolution. He has already reached an incredible evolution and stage; a Demonic Vampire Dragon is not something you'll ever see anywhere else. His evolution is pretty much almost complete, I'll simply add more materials for the next one once he's ready." I explained. "Now, I'll quickly get this done…"

Without holding back, I devoured both Dragon Hearts through a quick method, by simply opening my mouth and letting out the power of Gluttony that connects to my stomach consume the two at the same time.

And lastly, I drank the Blood Bottle of the True Fire Dragon's Blood, alongside blood from the Boss, and I even ate a large portion of their meat, bones, scales, a wing, and also claws, fangs, and brain.

Because this one mutated Red Dragon was of such high quality, I could eat a lot out of it! Not just the heart.

FLAAASH!

And its power was almost instant…
