Amelia noticed his doubting gazes and the next moment she moved to stand beside the three youths as she said:
"Longman had shown a great talent in making pills and potions. In fact your own theory of making pills and potions was mastered with perfection by him. He managed to make a great amount of pills and potions in the least amount of time."
She then patted the girl's shoulders and added, "Sherry is really remarkable. She isn't only an array master, she also can build defensive towers in a short time. She is impressive, a fierce sword fighter that beat many warriors in the tests as well."
Arthur glanced at Sherry with her dark skin, long black curly hair, and small figure. She had such nice intelligent eyes that told him she wasn't a weak little girl as she appeared.
"As for Noh, he beat Lily and other batsmen in the tests. He also has some skills in forging and making arrays, plus he is a good knife fighter as well."
"Good," Arthur nodded, and he regretted not being around during tests. "I'll trust your judge then," he said before turning around. "Spread the word, they will stay here and train until we finish our two contests."
"They won't come with us?" Omar was surprised as he added, "many are eager to see us competing and beating others."
"I know, but who knows. We might need more help in the future," Arthur said before adding, "after all we still don't know how strong our enemies are. We need to test the waters first, then decide what we should do later on."
His words convinced everyone, and Amelia just went with Madly and Omar to others to tell them about Arthur's instructions and logic. In less than an hour, everyone was ready to move out.
"Alright, we will first go to the city then we'll move from there towards the academy," Arthur said and the next moment a portal was opened.
"I will kill you!" the moment he went outside the portal, this angry shout from Tina rang all across the city. "You dare to leave me behind all this? You cold hearted dragon, I hate you!"
She threw herself over his human body without care. He just managed to turn into a dragon and took the fall in time before he would be crushed under her dragon body.
"You are a cold dragon, very cold," she cried while she kept rubbing her head on his chest in a weird way.
"C'mon, I left you to have fun here," he lied while trying gently to push her away.
"Liar, there was no fight at all here," she complained, "you must have many fun fights inside, right? Admit it!"
He knew she would have enjoyed the test he had, and also got her evolution done. "We were just training, asking them to verify my words," he lied again, yet when she noticed them nodding to her, she bought his lie this time.
"But I won't forgive you though," she said while moving away from his body.
"You seem to have fun inside," Sara said before adding, "even your power has evolved a lot. You can now speak in human tongue while being in dragonair's form. That's quite an achievement."
Sara's words made him notice what he missed. When he just spoke with Tina, others really reacted and understood his words perfectly.
'This seems an effect of my upgrade,' he muttered.
"How is my city going?" despite knowing the answer, he figured to ask.
"We sent many armies to subdue other territories," Tina said before adding in obvious discontent, "but not a worthy foe appeared anywhere."
"You sent armies out?" Arthur was surprised as he stated clearly not to do so. "Was there any accident? Like losing entire armies or something?" he hurriedly asked.
"Nothing," Sara said.
"It's like a deserted place out there," Tina complained, "even those big clans seemed to retract their forces far away from us. Our armies never faced a single fight or resistance whatsoever."
Arthur was surprised by that, and the next moment he realized he left this world for so long and didn't know the latest news.
'I need to speak with Olor then,' he said to himself, as he decided to know what was going on behind the scenes.
"But we gained in exchange of losing not a single warrior, many people and rich resources," Sara said with a chuckle as she knew this was something that would stir Arthur.
And as she expected, his eyes shone when he heard that. "How much?" he asked.
"Millions," Tina said in strange excitement, "the city was already crowded, so we had to build another one nearby."
"Another town?" Amelia asked in doubt.
"No, no, we built a city," Sara laughed before pointing to a direction, "we used the same principles of this city to build. Many builders who participated in making this city grand did the job brilliantly."
"Did?" Arthur muttered, "is the city finished?"
"Sure, you took so long to come here," Tina complained again, "we already are building the third one."
Arthur turned to Deem who nodded and said, "I will go and check their blueprints now."
"I'll come with you," Gor said before adding, "building a city with weak defenses is catastrophical."
"Don't worry about that," Tina proudly said, before adding while raising up her head, "I've already selected hundreds of thousands of the three cities dwellers and turned them into mighty warriors to defend here."
"You formed armies?" Madly asked with disbelief.
"Sure, how can we get all these populations without great armies?" Tina answered with puzzlement, "and as we speak, more are still out there gathering population and resources from everywhere."
"That's great," Arthur said before adding, "Now I'll stay here for a day. I want to check on the new cities and then I'll return to the academy world."
"We'll go back to the academy?" Tina said before laughing, "I miss that great dude who was vigilant of me."
"You mean Slone?" Arthur smiled, "well I won't be there for fun. I want you to stay here. I might need your help quite soon."
"A war?" Tina's eyes shone brightly, "I miss wars so much."
"You can say that," Arthur laughed before he started taking a tour inside his three cities.
