Clicking on the Companion icon. Another screen appears on top of the inventory, titled Companion. And what I see in it was a grey-colored egg, rotating around.

Now, what I would usually do is to take out the egg and see it for myself, but considering that I have some knowledge about my Dragon Master class and what happened during those times, should it be a smart move to bluntly show everyone that I have an egg and inside it might actually be a dragon?

Maybe I should keep quiet and hope no one notices. However, if anyone were to ask me where my growth item is, I need to have a reply ready. Maybe I should say I don’t have one? But that would be suspicious. It would only draw attention towards myself.

Head Kleer said that, “Growth items will grow alongside you.” So I should assume that those weapons should be initially weak and ‘grow stronger’. Maybe taking out my knife inside my pocket and say that it is my growth weapon? My other classmates have something like a dagger too so would it work?

‘…..No that wouldn’t work. My class is related to dragons from the dragon from Dragon Master.’

Considering this, if I were to supposedly lie about my growth item being a kitchen knife(lol), then wouldn’t people who truly knows about the Dragon Master class suspect me of lying? If I were to say that my egg which is most-likely a dragon is my growth item, wouldn’t I attract a huge amount attention to myself? Who knows what they would do to me?

Let’s just hope a dragon master was never summoned as one of the heroes in the past. I should just say that my kitchen knife is damn ‘growth item’. If they were to question me, I shall just act like a clueless retard and say that the kitchen knife was the only thing I found in my inventory. That should work. If it is like that, then they shouldn’t suspect me of lying.

As my classmates were inspecting their ‘growth items’, Head Kleer cleared his throat.

“I am sure everyone have showed off your growth items to each other. How about sharing what your growth items are with each other. Just tell or show them what does your item do and how it grows.”

The introductions of it soon began and one by one everyone began to say their items.

Many of them talked about their items(orbs, swords, spellbooks, daggers, spears) and what do they do and how it would grow. Apparently, each of the growth item has its own name. And actually to sum up the growth part, it was just leveling yourself up and your growth item would grow that way. It was the same for everyone else growth item so it wasn’t relevant.

Each of their items had different effects such as from piercing through defence, mana reduction cast and speed, some have spellbooks which summons a familiar like a scorpion or a werewolf to fight with you.

There were many abilities and the number of them was quite astonishing.

Soon enough, it was my turn, which I slowly stood up and did what I had rehearsed long ago.

I took out my ‘growth item’ which I was holding and showed it to the class. The magnificent metal shining brightly in the room, showing its superiority and its class of its own. The knife which was commonly used in cutting and turning stuff into smaller pieces. The kitchen knife.

“This is my growth item, Arion. Its effect is to tame dragons.”

This was what I honestly came up with. Since I have to have something related to my Dragon Master class, it was completely necessary to bullshit it even though it seems so stupid.

My classmates were giving me looks like “Are you fucking serious? A kitchen knife?”, and Head Kleer raised his eyebrows at me showing his disbelief.

The person next to me, Kelly, was also startled by this. Especially since my growth item was seriously a ‘kitchen knife’.

“Well….I guess there...are always some unusual growth items I guess.” Head Kleer gives me a suspicious look after saying that.

After finishing his lectures, he soon gave us a tour of the palace, Where to navigate your way through the hallways, where is our training room, where is the bathroom and where do you eat. While doing this, no one seems to be asking me questions whether or not I was serious about my kitchen knife being my growth item. Well, this is what reality is like. Even if you are a prankster or attract some attention to yourself, no one would really care since they don’t know you and wouldn’t give any shit about you.

Currently Miss Cherly was asking questions about this world from Head Kleer. It seems she wants to make sure we are safe above all else. She is very dedicated to her job which I admire her for. If it was me, I would only give a shit about myself. If there was danger in coming my way, I will bail out if I can’t do anything about it. For example, if hounds and wolves were chasing me and my classmates, I would probably be the one to push down people as I run. making the wolves focus on their soon to be dinner so that I could increase my chances of me living. Not like I give a shit about my classmates too.

Right now we are currently in the dining room. There were many plates and trays of food which I assume that we would be eating soon. On the plates and trays were eggs, sausages, stew, and bread. I must say that just looking at it makes me a bit starved. Though I was starved to begin ever since I woke up today.

“Everyone, please enjoy the meal. All this food was made by the best of chefs and the quality of each ingredient is of high-quality I assure you. Everyone will do their best to help and support you heroes with all their might for the sake of humanity. You heroes are our last hope.” As Head Kleer said this, I noticed that some of my classmates were moved a bit, but some including Miss Cherly wasn’t quite happy about it. After all, in the end we were kidnapped from our world and now we have to battle demons and risk our lives for “humanity”.

‘Screw that shit, when I gather enough information, I am getting the fuck out of here. Fight your own damn wars.’

Right now everyone were lining up to get their food. Before long, I got a tray and took some eggs and sausages for my breakfast. I then looked around the dining room. The dining room had many tables and chairs which is more than enough to fit in 40 people. No, it could fit in 60 people no problem, so having this many seats and tables was a bit overboard.

I then looked around for an empty table. It is very comfortable to eat by yourself and not having to think of anything to start a conversation with others while at it. Though this is how I look at it, my childhood friend, Mylen, was special as he was my best friend. Innocent friendship I guess. If I were to compare myself right now and the past me, then there is an obvious difference between them.

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

And that is enjoyment. The past me enjoyed my innocent life with my bestfriend, but after he left, life pretty much went gray for me. I love playing games, but soon it became boring. The only thing I was living for was the sake of living. Other than that, I think I might have given up in life.

But after thinking about this, since I’ve teleported to another world, maybe I should take advantage of this and explore this world? I guess I should do that when there is a chance.

Putting my tray on the table, I ate silently as I listened to the chattering of my classmates. It seems my teacher was still discussing some topics about the future events with the Head Captain about what us “heroes” are going to from now on.

Finishing my dish quickly, I left the tray on the table as I assume a maid or butler would take that tray to either throw it away or clean it.

As I almost left the dining room, Head Kleer called out to me.

“Sam Trigari, where are you going?”

“Just returning to my room. Something you need to tell me?”

Moving his head sideways, “No, I just felt that you don’t seem to get along with your peers.”

Does he mean why am I a loner?

“...No, I am quite alright. As for why am I different from my fellow peers, well, I guess there is a variety of people everywhere.” Saying that, I left the room.

Right now, I am walking slightly faster than how fast I would normally walk. This is because I want to check out my dragon egg since it aroused my curiosity.

Arriving in front of my room, I opened the door, went in and close it while locking it at that. Would not do if someone were to “accidentally” come inside and see whatever they see which could affect me in some way.

After locking the door, I then said “Inventory”

The blue screen appears in front of me again in mini boxes. I looked for the Companion Icon and pressed it. Another screen pops up in front of me, showing a grey egg. I then reached into the screen in front of me, feeling an object as I reached into it, I slowly pulled it out with two hands since it seems a bit large.

Pulling it out from the blue screen, I see an egg which I am holding right now. It looks exactly the same as the one I see in the companion category. At the same time I pulled it though, a black mark on my right hand begins to shine brightly with an ominous feeling. It begins to shine brighter and brighter as my hand was still holding the egg.

For some reason I can’t let go of the egg. I tried to since I am not sure how the shining black mark on my front hand would do to the egg, but it is necessary just to be cautious. However, I can’t even move my body as the black marking was shining darkly as something begins to come out of it. Reaching for the egg. No matter how much I tried to move, it was impossible. I felt a force pushing my body in all directions, making my body frozen in place. Feeling as if it would crush me into a slab of meat.

The black thing starts to reach for the egg as I watched helplessly as if does. Coming into contact with it, the egg begins to shake in my hands as if something was trying to come out. Before long, cracks begin to appear on the large grey egg. Soon enough a black scaly hand came out of the cracks with 4 claws coming out of its fingers like a monster coming out of its egg from a horror movie.

My right hand begins to hurt and I tried to scream. However, nothing came out as the beast or dragon within the egg, slowly crawled out. Its head soon appeared out of the grey egg and soon enough, its whole body. The thing then opens its eyes as it looks upon me with red glowing lights for eyes.

The black mark starts to dim down and down from my right hand. Before long ,it stops shining. Along with it, the force that was pressing my body in every direction, slowly vanishes.

*Silence*

Looking at the thing on my hand which broke out of the egg, I didn’t know what to say. This was completely out of my expectations.

I thought that when I touch the egg, it would soon hatch afterwards or something. Contrary to that though, my hand shines like a dark sun while some kind of force was pressed on me, making it hard for me to breathe, much less, move.

‘This totally wasn’t mentioned in the Dragon Master information class.’

The dragon only looks at me with its red bright eyes. Soon though, I heard a grumbling sound coming from it. The dragon moves slightly as it probably tries to tell me something. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my stomach.

Crouching down from the pain, I again looked at the black dragon. Grumbling sounds again were heard from its stomach. As its stomach growls, my stomach also starts to hurt.

“What the Fuck? What is with this strange feeling?”

I felt as if I was hungry, but also not hungry at the same time. And I am sure I’m not hungry since I just ate breakfast 10 minutes ago. A sudden thought came into my head.

Is it possible the dragon is the one who is hungry? Then why am I feeling it too?

Anyways, a newborn should be hungry if it was born recently maybe.

“Well, both ways I need to get it something to eat? Would sausages do? Gaahh! Whatever!”

Saying that, the pain in my stomach just gets worse so I basically walked quickly towards the dining room, take some food with me, and went back to my room.

Head Kleer, Miss Cherly, and my classmates gave me an odd look as I took some food and went out immediately, but no one said anything as I already went out the room quickly.

Entering my room again, I brought out the sausages I took and give it to the dragon which I made it lay down on the bed. As the dragon sees the meat, its eyes glowed brightly and jumped towards it, using its tongue to flick it into his mouth and swallowing it without chewing.

Very soon he ate all the meat I was able to carry when I came back. Slowly the pain in my stomach diminishes.

“What was that?” I asked to myself
