Ivica Livingstone's Circumstances

As Ivica removed the white mist that was acting like a veil to cover her face I was astonished by her elegance.

Beauty that could start a war, her description in the novel wasn't an exaggeration,

Her beauty was a feast to the eyes, I thought to myself.

After admiring her beauty for a few seconds I came back from my thoughts,

"So you want me to help you in getting the Strengthening Fruit," I asked,

She nodded her head and spoke, "Yes, as you already know I don't have much time left."

I nodded my head in agreement.

Ivica Livingstone's true identity isn't completely human, she's half human and...half Dragon.

It was an impossible combination that defies logic, As it is impossible for a human woman to bear a child of a dragon because a dragon's child would be too powerful for a human to handle.

And the same goes For a human male, as human males can't impregnate dragon females as humans are not powerful enough to do so and another reason is dragon women are quite prideful and they wouldn't mate with anyone weaker than them.

So the question is how Ivica was born...

The answer to that question is quite simple Ivica's father was a legendary man he not only slept with a prideful dragon woman but he also impregnated her which led to the legendary combination of half human and half dragon,

And the proof was 'Ivica Livingstone' she may be and will be the only half-human and half-dragon in existence.

But the problem came after that, Ivica was born with a dragon heart and a human body which means her body couldn't handle the power of a dragon heart as time went by the power will only increase with it, and soon when her human body reaches its limits she will die of excessive mana.

But there is a solution: the legendary strengthening Fruit, which is essentially an enhancing Fruit that will allow the person who consumes it to enhance their body beyond the human level.

And it is the exact thing Ivica needed now which will strengthen and transcend her body beyond limits and will allow her to adapt to her dragon heart.

"Ok, I accept your deal but it may take some time for you to get the Strengthening Fruit as it isn't available at the time and I can't say you when it will appear as we will receive a backlash for me sharing a future event," I explained her after pondering for few minutes. Of course, I also have other reasons to help her out.

Ivica nodded her head in agreement and spoke, "It's ok, tell me when you needed my help," she said and got up from her seat and approached me, then we both shook hands to confirm our deal.

"I will be in your care Ivica," I spoke while we were shaking hands.

"Please take care of me as well Ares," she replied and continued with a smile.

"And Call me Dean, as no one calls me by my first name," she added.

"But you're also a teenager according to the dragon's age though" I replied with an amused smile.

she was shocked with her eyes wide open hearing my justification, because of course I was right I don't know her current age but by no means she is older than 300 years, as dragons reach their adulthood after they reach 300 years old.

After a few minutes of shock, she giggled while covering her mouth with one of her hands and continued till her eyes turned moist then she finally stopped and spoke.

"Yeah you are right but did you forget that I am a half-human?" she said.

I don't know how to rebuke that as she is the only half human - half dragon, so I don't know what age she will turn adult, 18 or 300.

I shook my head and got out of useless thoughts.

"...I guess, that's right" I spoke

Then we continued our conversation for a few more minutes then I finally bid her farewell and left for dormitories.

While I was on my way to my dorm I muttered to myself.

"It's nice to have an ally that knows about my predicament, and she will be pretty useful in the future," 

As I was pondering to myself I arrived in front of a huge extravagant building that seems to be a Special dormitory.

I walked into the building and went to the Special Dormitory building reception, where I was greeted by a brown short-haired middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman in front of me had a lovely face, a well-formed nose, and small lips; her light brown hair was carefully brushed to both sides to give her a more polished appearance.

She recognized me right away and greeted me as politely as she could, saying.

"Young master Ares your room is on the 4th floor and its the biggest room available for a 1st-year student to have, as you ranked #1 it was specially allotted to you, and if you want to customize anything or need anything then you can call me anytime," she said with a smile on her face and gave me my room key or to be more precise it was a room card.

I gave her a nod as I took the room key from her and noticed the number [21] written on it.

Thinking to myself that this must be the room number, I turned and walked away from her.

The interior architecture of the building impressed me as I moved down the hallway. Especially the lighting, which cast a warm and inviting glow on the corridor I was traveling down in a gentle shade, making it seem as though it were daytime.

The floor was marbled, and the majority of the pavement was covered by a long red carpet that led directly to the elevator area.

I therefore entered the elevator after walking along the red carpets and quickly pressed the button that took me to the fourth floor after getting in front of the elevators.

There were fifteen floors in the Special Dormitory building, and I was currently moving toward floor 4, which was where my room, number 21, was.

Ding!—

I was met by a small corridor that split into two, left and right, as I exited the elevator.

Turning right after looking at my phone, I soon came across a door with the number [21] written on the side after passing a few other doors.

I opened the door to my room shortly after the doorknob turned green as I swiped my card.

-Click! 

I was immediately astounded by what I saw when I entered the room.

The living room's sizable window, which lit up the entire space, was the first thing I noticed.

I then became aware of all the decorations throughout the space.

From crisp white couches to a small kitchen equipped with a variety of tools.

It seemed as though I was moving from the slums to the central city when compared to my previous temporary assigned room.

...It was a huge difference. 

I quickly located the bedroom, which had a big white bed in the middle, by turning to the right from the living room.

There were a few other decorations in the room, but they weren't what caught my attention; rather, it was a door that was next to the bedroom.

I went straight for the door and opened it without a second thought. I was currently only interested in this one thing.

Click!—

As soon as I opened the door, I felt a cool breeze touch my clothing.

I then turned to face the room with a look of awe on my face.

The room opened up in front of me and was twice as big as the living room.

Dumbbells, squat racks, and a variety of other gym equipment appeared in front of me on the right side of the room, whereas there was no equipment or anything similar on the left.

However, a unique, shock-absorbing material was used to construct the wall's sides and the pavement.

In essence, that space was where I could calmly practice my sword skills and other sword techniques without worrying about doing anything, I grinned contentedly as I turned to face the gym...
