The S-Classes That I Raised

alright? I should have gone directly myself, but the other person was Chief Song Taewon.”

“It is alright.
I am fine.”

She seemed like someone who could communicate well enough, so she should have come directly.
Then, the poor small car would have been safe… right?

I couldn’t be sure.
Just looking at her skill, Kang Soyoung would be good at hitting the accelerate, too.

“Please come this way!”

The place where Kang Soyoung guided us to had one cage.
In the small soft nest made inside there, a black being was sleeping with its body rolled up.

This guy had the same condition as the Horned Flame Lion.
I left Chirpie with Yerim and went closer.
Apparently they had waited until the egg hatched and then caught it to bring out – it really looked like it had just been born.
Past being small, it was exactly the size of a puppy.
Was that why its stats were D-Rank, unlike Peace or Blue?

Maybe because it was young, it didn’t have thorns yet.
The scales also looked soft instead of firm.
The round belly lightly went up and down, and the tip of the tail twitched occasionally.
There was a silver ring-like necklace around the thin neck.

“It is really cute, right? Right?”

Kang Soyoung whispered quietly.
It actually was cute.
Though most things were cute as babies.

“The name is Comet[2].”

“Is it female?”

“It does not matter.”

So she didn’t know.

“We will be able to know once it grows.
If the wings are on the bigger side and the poison stronger, then it is female, and if the thorns are on the longer side compared to the wings, it is male.”

Would a female be better as a kiseungsu?

Kang Soyoung took out the owner’s token.
She held it tight in both hands and looked at me tearily.
Behind me, I heard Yerim mumble that Soyoung unni’s acting innocent also was no joke.

“Our Comet, please take good care of it.
I will come looking for it often.
I will come every day I am not doing a dungeon attack.
If there is anything wrong, please contact me anytime.
If there is also anything you need, please let me know, whatever it is.”

“Please do not worry; I will take care of it well.”

I received the token, put it in my inventory, and opened the cage door.
The baby dragon didn’t show any indication of waking up.

“Its stat rank is higher than Han Yoojin-nim, but is that okay?”

“It is okay.”

At the most, my hand would get bitten a little.
Right next to me, there was an A-Rank, and three S-Ranks were guarding behind, so they would help before something big happened.

I stretched out my hand and pet the head that had small horns.
It was slightly cool and smooth.
When I carefully wrapped my hands around it and lifted it, it waved its tail and quietly opened its eyes.

They were dark metallic gray eyes tinted with silver.
The eyes blinked and then,

-Puoooo

It shook its nose and opened its mouth wide and yawned.
Only a red tongue was seen in a flash, and it didn’t have teeth yet.
It looked up at me once, and then shook its wings once and coiled its body again on top of my hands.
It was a size where it filled up exactly my two hands while its tail and wings slightly fell out.

To think that this small of a thing would get big enough to ride.
It was startling.

“It is sleeping again.
How cute, our Comet.”

Kang Soyoung made a fuss, saying that it was so cute her heart was shaking.
I agreed a little.
It was indeed cute.

 

On the way to the rearing facility, Kang Soyoung followed along.
It was because she wanted to see the place where Comet would stay.
I wanted Sung Hyunjae to start to leave, but it seemed like he didn’t have that kind of thought at all.
He said something like both the guild leaders of Haeyeon and Breaker had gone into dungeon attacks, so as the remaining person, he had to take responsibility for me.
Putting aside MKC, why was he considering Hanshin as nonexistent?

Kang Soyoung rode her bike and left first.
According to Yerim, it had a ton of speed violation tickets.
She was an A-Rank combat Hunter, so she wouldn’t get into an accident, but keep the law at least.

The two people seemed closer than I would’ve thought, so I asked, and apparently they had gone to hang out along with Moon Hyuna several times.
Apparently they had also gone to a room escape cafe.

“We set the shortest record!”

So they broke it, huh.

The rearing facility that we finally arrived at was a round and large building, like I had seen in bird eye’s view the other day.
Seeing how the ceiling was high, outwardly, it looked like a large indoors gym.

At the entrance connected to the building and at the entrance of the main building, A-Rank Hunters were placed there.
Respectively, they were people from Haeyeon and Seseong.
Besides them, they said that two more A-Rank Hunters and about fifteen B-Rank Hunters would also stand guard.

I wondered if it wasn’t too much for that many mid to high rank Hunters to guard just somebody else’s building, but they said with the Myeongwoo effect added, there were a lot of volunteers.
It was thanks to it being known that Yoo Mywongwoo would be coming here.

And most of this explanation flowed out of, not Song Taewon’s, but Sung Hyunjae’s mouth.
His skill in blocking Song Taewon’s mouth and filling the conversation was so shrewd, that I was finding it detestable.
If it wasn’t Song Taewon here, but Yoohyun or Moon Hyuna, wouldn’t a large scale fight have broken out?

But Song Taewon seemed like someone who had come down after cultivating himself toward enlightenment for about ten years in a mountain.
Though the glint in his eyes were brutal.

‘Could the person who killed Song Taewon really have been Sung Hyunjae?’

You couldn’t even emptily say that they got along well, but it didn’t seem bad to that extent.
At any rate, it was a groundless rumor.
For the official announcement, they said it was death during a dungeon attack.

-Kkyaa! Kkya!

When we went inside the building, a large lobby appeared.
Blue, who had arrived first, was flying around there.
Thanks to the ceiling being high, she was flying enthusiastically, unlike when she was at home.

As expected, a large place was good for raising kids.
And there would less of a chance of things being broken.

-Kkyaooo!

Having discovered me, Blue flew over in an instant.
I wanted to hold the guy whose eyes were bright with welcome, but I was holding the baby dragon in one arm.

“Blue, wait.”

-Kkyooo?

“Kang Soyoung-ssi, we can safely put on an item like Chirpie, or try to let it become friendly with Blue without an item, but what do you think? If it does not have an item, it would get hurt, too.”

They would become similar in stat rank in the end, but right now, Blue was stronger.
At my words, Kang Soyoung looked between Blue and Comet.

“You said that Blue is stat C-Rank, right? If it is that much, then wouldn’t it be alright? That necklace is one that raises the Stamina stat, so they should be similar in Stamina at least.
And I can block them if it seems like it would get hurt bad.”

If it’s like that.
I gently woke up the sleeping Comet and showed it to Blue.

“Blue, this is your new younger sibling.
It hasn’t been long since it was born, so don’t be rough with it.”

-Kkyaa

Blue was tilting her head, when she flew over to around my chest.
Maybe the baby dragon was alarmed, because it lifted up its head and spread its wings.

-Kyak! Kyak!

-Kkyaoo!

Raising her voice and yelling, Blue opened her beak wide, and then quickly bit the baby dragon’s wing, and,

Hwik-

Threw it.
Comet, who had precariously flapped its wings that were big compared to its body and flopped to the floor, went ‘kyak kyak’ as if feeling wronged.
Blue looked at that kind of proudly.

-Kkyooo!

After thrusting her chest out proudly and shouting, she didn’t attack any more.

Um, I didn’t really get it, but it seemed like she had accepted it, right?
