nmeaning that a Dragon's appraisal would not allow them to know an item's specific purpose or function unless they had the already required knowledge to do so

nAnd it's because of this strange ability that Dante had such an extreme reaction.

nHe could instantly tell the value of the sword at Klent's waist.

nBelieve it or not, the simple sword hanging at Klent's waist was actually a fate-changing treasure!

nseeing such a rare treasure, Dante's greedy Draconic nature almost took over!

nIf it wasn't for Dante's strong self-control, he could have lost himself and attacked Klent right then and there!

nEventually, after a heavy struggle, Dante managed to get himself back under control and suppressed his draconic urges.

nMeanwhile, As Klent was leaving the lecture hall, he suddenly seemed to feel an alarming threat.

nIt was as if he had been marked as prey by some kind of archaic beast.

nInstantly, Klent's body went into alert as he quickly spun around, drawing his sword.

nBut as he turned around, he was only met with the strange looks of both Lennox and Dante.

n'Huh? That's strange. I swear I felt something...

"

nQuickly sheathing his sword, Klent didn't bother to think too much about it and quickly left the room that had been giving him an uncomfortable feeling.

n...

nBack to Dante and Lennox,

nLennox suddenly put his hand on Dante's shoulder as he asked,

n

"Dante, you good? Back there you seemed a little off-

"

nDante quickly swatted Lennox's hand off of him as he calmed himself down.

n

"I'm fine Lennox. It's nothing to worry about.

"

nSeeing the quick change in Dante's mood, Lennox only shrugged his shoulders as he continued,

n

"Well, are you still okay with exploring the academy? It's okay to leave it for another day if you're feeling unwell.

"

nhearing this, Dante just smiled as he replied.

n

"Trust me, I'm okay. I just had a little episode but now I've got everything under control, there's nothing to worry about

"

nhearing this, a wide smile burst onto Lennox's face.

n

"Well, if you're all good, then what are we waiting for? Let's go and see what this place is all about!

"

nlike that, Dante and Lennox completely disregarded Dante's brief episode and headed out to see the hidden Dragon academy....

n...

nAfter they left the classroom, Dante and Lennox had been making full use of their opportunity to explore.

nFirst, they went to the training grounds and the combat arena.

nThis was a place in the Hidden Dragon Academy dedicated to sparring and training between its students, and so it was always a busy place.

nDante and Lennox even observed a few impressive battles between their seniors in the short time they spent there.

nIn addition to the normal platforms, there was also the life and death battle platforms.

nThese were where two students with absolutely irresolvable conflicts could fight each other to the death without the school interfering or pursuing any action against any murders or brutal actions committed on the platform.

nAnything that happens on the platform is between the two fighters.

nThe school has officially washed its hands of all consequences.

nNow, if you ended up injuring somebody and their seniors came looking for revenge, as long as the fight happened on the battle platform, the school would still not get involved.

nEvery fight that you fought and the recuperations that came with it were on you, so fight at your own risk!

nLuckily for Dante and Lennox, there was no such occurrence today, so they didn't get to witness the more gruesome side of the battle arena.

nAfter checking out the battle arena, Dante and Lennox moved on to check the Grand library next.

nThis was a place where most of the martial techniques and cultivation techniques used in the Hidden Dragon Academy were stored.

nRumour has it that almost anything you need could be found in this library if you searched hard enough, it's just that over the years the library had gotten so large even the Academy themselves had lost the records of a lot of the books even kept there!

nSeeing as Dante and Lennox had little time left to explore the academy, they only took a brief look at the Grand library and decided to save it for a proper exploration on another day.

nAfter leaving the Grand library, Dante and Lennox were headed towards their next destination, Arguably the busiest place in the whole of the Hidden Dragon Academy.

nThe Hidden Dragon market!

nThis place was an organised exchange market where all students from the Hidden Dragon Academy have the opportunity to set up a stall and buy and sell goods between each other at their own predetermined prices.

nBecause of the nature of the Hidden Dragon Market, it was clear which two departments stand to benefit from it most.

nThese were, of course, The Department of Alchemy and also The Department of Weapons and Arrays.

nThese two departments were the only two departments that specialise in the actual production of goods.

nBe it Weapons and armour or even simple healing pills, the ability for the students of these departments to sell their crafted goods allowed for them to not only have a major say in the current state of the exchange market but also make a big profit.

nUnlike the Departments of War or the Departments of Governance that really don't make any profit during their time spent learning, the Department of Alchemy and Department of Weapons and Arrays had ways to possibly even leave the academy much richer than when they entered.

nBut Dante wasn't too worried about spending money.

nWith his innate Dragon sense of treasures, Dante was confident that he would be able to not only identify big treasures but also manage to get a good bargain for them.

nAs Dante and Lennox were walking through the market, they spent some time stopping and assessing the available goods.

nBut despite all their searching, Dante and Lennox still didn't manage to find anything that caught their eye.
