I've been marked by a dragon.
And not just any dragon—the worst kind.
The type with a personality straight out of a nightmare.
First, she tosses students into bizarre, dangerous places "for fun," claiming it's to test our skills.
Then she hands out so-called "gifts" that are actually just more trials wrapped in shiny packaging.
Seriously… what am I supposed to do with Lumine?
I get it—dragons aren't human. Their sense of amusement is fundamentally different.
For her, everything that's happening to me is probably nothing more than light
entertainment. A little hobby. A distraction.
Like a child poking at ants with a stick.
And to Lumine, I'm that ant.
If she keeps being interested in me, there's no doubt these ridiculous incidents will continue.
I need to figure out a way to shake her off—fast.
But how am I supposed to detach myself from a dragon?
Let alone that dragon?
"…Should I ask Lisa for help?"
The thought slipped into my mind before I could stop it.
