“Black, what should I do? I’ve already paved a new path and succeeded in applying to establish a club at the school, but why hasn’t any dragon joined after so long?”

The young Silver Dragon, now a Juvenile Dragon, complained to a book with a black and golden cover while staying in his single dragon dormitory.

“Because you’re a dragon!” Hearing the Juvenile Silver Dragon’s complaint, an ominous Black Mist rose from the Curse Book and then condensed into the form of an Abyss Refining Demon, whose eyes flickered with red light as it stared at the Silver Dragon, its face vividly displaying a helpless expression.

“Do you think you would have taken a liking to curses if not for my influence?”

“No!” The Juvenile Silver Dragon instinctively shook his head in response to Black’s question.

“What was your impression of curses before you met me?”

“Dark, eerie, mysterious, ominous…” After thinking for a moment, the Juvenile Silver Dragon Rufei listed a series of adjectives.

“You see, that was your impression of curses before. If you want to draw dragons into your club, you must change other dragons’ perceptions of curses.”

“But, those adjectives aren’t wrong, are they? Aren’t curses inherently strange and ominous, representing weirdness and ill omens?”

“So, if you want to recruit dragons to your club, you must get them to accept these aspects of curses.” Black scrutinized the Silver Dragon before him. When he first met the Silver Dragon, his silver scales were very shiny, but now, after practicing Curse Magic for a long time, his aura had become somewhat eerie, and faint black patterns had appeared on his silver scales.

With Black’s knowledge, he couldn’t tell whether the Silver Dragon’s change was good or bad. The Juvenile Silver Dragon had spent most of his energy studying Curse Magic.

His prolonged research into curses allowed a mysterious and arcane power to invade his body, altering his body composition, to the extent that even his form underwent subtle changes. He transformed from a Silver Dragon into a Dragon of Curses.

Black couldn’t be sure what kind of impact this change would have on Rufei’s future. Perhaps she could go further than a normal Silver Dragon, but she might also fall short of her original potential.

This was the risk of trying to forge a different path: the potential gains might be great, but the potential losses could be greater, and the likelihood of loss was higher than that of gain.

“In that case, how can I become the leader of a Legion?” Just when Black was looking at Rufei with a hint of worry, the Silver Dragon shouted out without a care in the world.

Inside the Dragon Clan Academy, a rumor had begun to circulate: any Giant Dragon who could explore a different approach to the traditional close combat training of the Dragon Race, and pass the school committee’s review, could establish a club, recruit members, and upon graduation, use that as a foundation to establish a Dragon Clan Legion and become the Legion leader.

No dragon was a fool; with successive Dragon Kings channeling resources into the Dragon Clan Academy and sending descendants to serve as Professors, every dragon wanted to develop a new training system and surpass the previous Giant Dragons.

… A day later, the Juvenile Silver Dragon flew back into his dormitory with a sad face and then lay down on his crystal bed,

“Sigh! It’s too hard for me. It took a lot of effort to convince just two Disaster Dragons to join my club, and I have to share some of my allowance with them every month.”

“Uh…” Before Black could muster words of comfort, emerging from the Book of Mourning, he saw Rufei laughing carelessly,

“Haha, even though it cost me a lot, starting today, I’m no longer a commander with no soldiers. I finally have dragons under me; I’m going to be a leader of a Legion. A dragon above ten thousand dragons.”

“…” Black quietly watched her, unsure what to say. Other clubs begged dragons to join them, while her club had to pay dragons to join. With such a stark difference, where did she get the confidence that she could be a Legion leader in the future?

“Black, believe me, the number of members in my club is going to increase.” Noticing Black’s skeptical gaze, Rufei confidently patted her chest.

“Hmm!”

“What does that look mean? You don’t believe me, do you?” Picking up on Black’s seemingly disdainful look, Rufei raised her voice in protest.

“No.”

“I’ll tell you! Right now, Xena Pus is touring the Continent, gathering dragons from all over the world. Every day more than a hundred dragons are enrolled, and many of them are just young dragons who have just received their Inheritance. These dragons are the easiest to coax. If I coax one dragon a day, I can coax more than three hundred dragons in a year.”

“But they will leave. It’s no use just temporarily coaxing them to join. Moreover, they are dragons, not limited to joining only your club.”

“So, I need to come up with a way to keep them.”

Rufei’s large eyes rolled around thoughtfully, and suddenly, she looked at Black,

“Black, I remember you once said that your first master was a Legendary Mage, and your second master was that so-called ‘Evil Dragon’?”

“That’s right.”

“Why did he leave you in the Library?”

“What do you mean leave? That was an assignment. He entrusted the whole Library to me and asked me to manage it.”

“Then why hasn’t he sent anyone to retrieve you after I took you away from the Library for so long?”

“…” Black was rendered speechless.

“It seems the Dean has already forgotten about you. To him, you were something dispensable.”

“What are you trying to say?” Black spoke indifferently, facing the bluntly honest Silver Dragon.

“Even if the Dean doesn’t care about you, I do. To me, you’re my best friend, next to my parents.”

“…”

“I have a question for you.”

“What is it?” The black tone had softened considerably without him realizing.

“I remember you saying that your previous master was immune to all your curses, right?”

“That’s correct.”

“I know how to get dragons to join my club now.”

“What are you planning to do?”

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

…

“Senior sister, are there any benefits to joining the Mourner Society?” a Cloud Dragon asked the strange Silver Dragon blocking its path, who had invited him to join the club.

“Yes, there are. Will you come with me?”

After a moment, a scream laced with fear echoed in the dimly lit secret chamber, “Curse the dean? Senior sister, have you lost your mind? I’m not joining the club, I want to leave.”

“Don’t hurry off, junior. I’ve already investigated thoroughly, the dean is immune to all curses, our curses have absolutely no effect on him, and I’ve already tried it, nothing’s happened up to now.”

“Really?”

“Why not give it a try? Junior, it’s quite thrilling after you’ve been cursed.”

“…Shall I give it a go?”

… Under the bizarre inspiration that flashed through the Little Silver Dragon Lufei Pendragon, the Mourner Society she founded grew at an astonishing rate.

Because of their heavy academic load, the dragons finally found a place to vent their grievances. They all understood that their grueling studies would lead to a better future, but future matters were for the future, and right now, the burdensome coursework was truly painful for the dragons!

Not long after Lufei expanded her club with such a crooked method, she faced her inevitable punishment.

…

“Ding-dong!”

“Who is it?” The little Silver Dragon groggily opened her eyes upon hearing the sound outside her door.

“Open up, delivery!”

“What delivery?” The little Silver Dragon was puzzled, she thought carefully and hadn’t bought anything lately. Why would there be a delivery?

Silver Dragon Lufei got up and opened her door, but as soon as she did, two Cloud Giants barged rudely into the room. After a quick glance around, they fixed their gaze on her.

“You’re not delivery people? Who are you? Do you know the consequences of barging into a Dragon Clan Academy student’s dorm like this?”

“Consequences? I’m far more aware of them than you are.” The Cloud Giant clad in heavy armor snorted and directly produced a token, “This is a search warrant issued to us by the academy’s committee.”

“A search warrant?” Lufei shrank back a little at the sight of the token in the Cloud Giant’s hand, “What for? Why search my dorm? I haven’t done anything that violates campus laws.”

“Whether you’ve broken any rules isn’t for you to say—we decide that.” The other Cloud Giant lifted his eyes from the elongated crystal he held, which projected a three-dimensional miniature image of a Silver Dragon, identical to Lufei.

“Are you Lufei Pendragon?”

“I am.” Little Silver Dragon Lufei instinctively took a few steps back, a premonition of doom rising in her heart.

“Good, Lufei Pendragon, according to our monitoring data, you’ve been recently gathering a large number of dragons to engage in illegal associating activities. Please come with us to assist with the investigation!”

“No, I haven’t done anything unlawful or against the rules, I’m not going with you, I want to see my teacher!” Realizing that she had to go with these two Cloud Giants for an interrogation, Lufei shook her head and refused on impulse.

“Your teacher is already aware. Just come quietly with us, don’t make any pointless resistance.” One of the Cloud Giants said in a flat tone.

“I want to see the principal.”

“Mm, we are here to take you to His Majesty Prince Mureya.”

“No, I don’t want to go anymore.” The little Silver Dragon Lufei was alarmed upon hearing that the Cloud Giants were taking her to see Prince Mureya, and she panicked, “I am innocent, don’t come any closer!”

In the end, the Little Silver Dragon Lufei, who had just entered her juvenile period, was dragged away one foot by one claw by the two Cloud Giants and hauled onto a floating ship that then transported her to the Central Cloud Island.

… The Little Silver Dragon Lufei looked up at the distinguished young Dragon Person sitting majestically on the Crystal Throne, peering down at her, feeling incredibly nervous and intimidated. She had thought that the dean, being completely immune to negative magic like curses, wouldn’t pose a problem; now it seemed she had been overly optimistic, as the dean’s magnanimity wasn’t as vast as she had imagined.

“Lufei Pendragon, right?” The evil-infested Dragon sitting high on the Crystal Throne spoke, and just the sound of his voice made Lufei shudder.
