Grace Bennett's face flushed slightly. "Hmph, after all, I'm your master. What's so strange about a disciple making some food for their master?"

Sweat... There was nothing he could do; what she said actually made some sense. These days, a master was like a second parent, and Grace Bennett had indeed taught him many combat skills, even some techniques for using battle aura. Now, Gavin Clark could already use battle aura, and he truly felt grateful.

"Of course, of course. If Master is hungry, you can even have both legs in a while."

"That's how it should be." Grace Bennett agreed very readily... This stuff was just too delicious. For her true form, this amount was nothing, just a little snack. She relied on magic crystals for energy anyway.

Dizzy, that was a straightforward answer. It was obvious that Grace Bennett really liked it.

Gavin Clark couldn't finish even one groundhog by himself. It seemed that dragons truly reigned supreme among all races when it came to eating. The key to roasted meat was the heat—golden brown, fragrant oil sizzling, then adding some homemade spices. Tsk tsk, it really tasted great.

Grace Bennett's gaze shifted between Gavin Clark and the groundhog. This person was truly special. No matter how you looked at him, he was human, but he carried an aura somewhere between human and non-human. His learning ability was terrifying. No one would believe it if you told them. Human battle aura was modeled after dragon battle aura, but the difference in combat power was vast. Yet Gavin Clark could actually learn dragon battle aura. Though his skill was shallow, it was truly a miracle—genuine dragon battle aura.

Could it be because of the contract, or was it something about his constitution?

After the night of the full moon, that situation never happened again, and he became normal, training hard every day. Grace Bennett didn't say it out loud, but her heart was warmed. A big part of why he worked so hard was to fulfill his promise.

But she wouldn't go easy on him because of that. Without great strength to protect himself, Gavin Clark wouldn't even be able to survive, let alone achieve his goal. Just like last time—if he hadn't been lucky, he would have been chopped to pieces by adventurers.

"Master, did you come here from Dragon Island on a mission? Is there really anything in this world that your dragon race can't handle?"

Gavin Clark asked as he roasted the meat.

At the mention of her mission, Grace Bennett looked a bit downcast. "Actually, it's not really a mission. Sigh, there's no point talking about it now. Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore. When you return to the human world in the future, you must never let your guard down. There are experts among both humans and non-humans, and some of them are even stronger than us."

"Sweat, really? Is that possible?"

Gavin Clark was skeptical. The strongest person he'd ever met was The Bennett Sealer, and he'd heard countless times the master's praise for dragons. When humans talked about power, the first thing that came to mind was the dragon race. Not to mention, not long ago, he had personally witnessed Grace Bennett flatten everything within a kilometer.

Grace Bennett shook her head inwardly. Of course it was true. In fact, he himself was one—only able to unleash it on the night of the full moon, and even then, he lost consciousness. If he could use it while awake, he might rank in the top ten of all Trucier.

"Don't you humans have the One Seal, Two Emperors, Three Demon Lords, and Five Saints? Two of them have even been to Dragon Island. They're truly formidable—ordinary dragons are no match for them."

"What the heck is that?"

"Dizzy, and you call yourself human? You don't even know this?"

"I've been fighting ever since I can remember. My days were just eating, sleeping, and battling. Later, I followed... Anyway, I don't know much. Tell me about it. Anyone your dragon race respects must be something else."

Right now, Gavin Clark was like a curious child, becoming more and more lively lately. This mood infected Grace Bennett as well. Since things were already as they were, if she spent every day worrying about the contract, life would be too exhausting... Besides, lately, it was actually kind of fun.

"The One Seal is the King of Seals, Walker, who has also been to Dragon Island. He has the power to seal dragons, though with his strength, he doesn't really need to. Besides, he's our friend."

"Awesome, that's amazing! I didn't expect it—humans have such a badass! Master, tell me more. All this meat is yours, and I've even made something extra special lately, hehe."

"Oh, hiding goodies from me, huh? Hehe, we dragons respect the strong. Call us hypocritical or arrogant if you want, but honestly, everyone is the same. We only associate with beings of the same level. Different power levels see the world differently." Actually, Grace Bennett wasn't that old herself, and having such a listener made her quite lively too.

"The One Seal is human, so what about the Two Emperors? Are they kings?"

"No, the Two Emperors are both non-humans. One is Russell Tate of the giant race—legend has it his strength is so great even dragons avoid him. The other is the current Beast King of the beast race, Harvey Clark, a tiger, whose tiger power can tear the sky apart."

"Dizzy, doesn't that mean us humans are short one? That's a loss."

As a human, Gavin Clark was naturally a bit worried. One against two didn't sound good.

Seeing Gavin Clark's amusing expression, Grace Bennett couldn't help but smile. This boy, whose personality had always been suppressed, seemed to have finally opened up during this time.
