The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 28: House of Dragons

After walking for about some time, Kayn finally stopped in front of a really tall six-story building.

The reason for it being described by him as a really tall six-story building is because the height separating each floor of this building is comparable to five floors when compared to ordinary buildings, or simply put 70 feet high.

This building is called the School of Dragons, which is where the top students of the Starlight Hero Academy gather together. In other words, this is where one could find all the genius students and individuals with heaven-defying talents. Anyone in here practically has the potential to hugely influence the world affairs of the Dragon Beast Republic or the Four Beast Alliance the moment they are granted access to enter the 'Tower'.

Of course, just having the potential alone is not in any way special and doesn't always guarantee success in the future. Just one wrong move and all of those expectations would eat on those students instead and spit them out afterward as mere bones, or even worst just ashes. That is exactly why there is a specific place to gather them together and teach them how to make use of their potential to the fullest.

In this huge building, there is a total of six classrooms only, which are respectively allocated a floor each. Each floor is different from the others and has its own complete individual facilities to accommodate the talent that students who are assigned to each of those floors possess. This explains why each floor is as high as 70 feet.

Not to be mistaken, being assigned to a higher floor in the School of Dragons doesn't actually mean that they are higher in rank compared to the other students who are assigned to a lower floor. It is just that there are facilities that can and should only be put on the bottom floor due to some factors involved while other facilities are okay to be put on the floors after that and so on and so forth.

Moreover, students are assigned to rooms where they can easily access the facilities they needed, not because they have more potential than the others. Take for instance, if the student needs facilities where it will greatly enhance and focus solely on improving their physical attribute the most, then of course they would be assigned to a room where there are facilities that can accommodate their needs on that certain floor. Otherwise, they would be busy running around from one place to another just to achieve their needs in their personal training.

"I never get tired of seeing this place," Kayn can't help muttering to himself. Many years have already passed and he has experienced countless places, but the School of Dragons always remains to have a special place in his heart. This is regardless of the fact that this school is under his greatest nemesis, World President Nicholas.

"Why is that?" Natas asked.

"This was where I experienced one of the greatest hardships of my life. The worst, to be more precise. It was just so bad that it left a bitter-sweet taste in my mouth every single time this place was mentioned to me," Kayn showed a bitter smile on his face.

"Was it seriously that bad?"

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ "Literally! There were even times where I thought that maybe it's much better to just die than to continue living if it was only going to be full of pain and suffering," Kayn paused as he shook his head, "But now that I think of it again, that was an important lesson in life. Without the experiences I learned from this place, it would probably take longer for me to get my first reality check of what it's like living in the 'Tower',"

"Now I am excited to see what this place is really like," Natas was intrigued by Kayn's description of the School of Dragons and can't wait to confirm it with his own eyes.

"You're about to see it soon," Kayn said as he prompted his hand to follow him.

Kayn started walking towards the glass-frame door entrance of the House of Dragon. As he was walking close, he started hearing shouts coming inside the building. The closer he got, the louder and the more people shouting he could hear.

It would have been fine if it was just any simple shout. But the shouts clearly have signs of extreme pain mixed within them.

"What are those noises all about?" Natas felt confused.

"Don't mind that those are just students doing some training," Kayn rest assured Natas.

"Is that normal?"

"Very normal. It's almost like this every day here, especially on the first floor since it's where all the facilities related to physical enhancement training are located. Students here are always doing physical exercises that require a lot of endurance, stamina, and strength, which equally translates to pain,"

"That explains why there is pain mixed with their voice,"

"Oh, you can actually tell? Just wait until you see what they are doing. You'd be shocked beyond belief,"

"You have probably forgotten that I've seen countless stuff in life. And these are just students, so what could they possibly offer that will shock me beyond belief? But, yeah, let's just see if they can impress me," Natas smiled provokingly at Kayn. If before he only sees it as a way to satisfy his curiosity, but now it's about whether the House of Dragons could, by any chance, astonish him by whatever means and to what degree.

"Just wait," Kayn took the challenge without any hesitation.

Not long after, Kayn and Natas entered the entrance of the House of Dragons. The moment they got inside; they could instantly feel the heat of the entire place overcoming the temperature all around their bodies. Although the latter was some kind of spirit, he wasn't spared by the burning sensation he could feel from his skin.

"Is there a furnace or something close by?" Natas was wondering if they can perhaps turn down the heat of the furnace by a little bit since it was excessively hot.

"This heat doesn't come from a furnace,"

"You're kidding me, right?"

"Wait, come here," Kayn led Natas towards a door where there's a small glass window where they can hope to see what's happening inside the room. Unfortunately, all the facilities on this floor are put inside rooms that barely allowed anyone from viewing inside.

The closer they got to the door, the hotter it felt for them to the point that they could already see their skin releasing some kind of smoke.

Nevertheless, they ignored the heat and finally took a peek at the small glass window.

Inside, they could see a group of men and women drenched in sweat in their sports attire while using different kinds of gym equipment. But unlike ordinary gym equipment, what they were using was clearly dozens of times larger, heavier, and more sophisticatedly designed.

However, that wasn't the important part. The way the students were training here was really fast. And that was despite the fact they carried tremendous weight. Take for instance, some students were doing sit-ups with barbels in both hands that weights probably more than 500 kilos each. Others were deadlifting 10 tons of weight. While there were those that are bench pressing one ton of weight.

Although the gym equipment they were using was heavy, they were still able to execute each rep quite easily and finish them in quick succession before going to another form of exercise. They were obviously doing it so fast that their body shone like those of a gemstone called ruby and thick smoke was being released from their body due to the sweat evaporating into thin air that somewhat shrouded the room in fog.

It was at this moment that Natas finally realized that the heat he is feeling right now doesn't actually come from any furnaces, but rather it came from the body of those people training inside. Their body is now releasing a lot of heat from how fast they are doing all the exercises. If this was the case with a car, then their bodies right now are overheating.

"This much heat and it actually came from the bodies of these people? How marvelous," Natas nodded in approval as he turned to look at the other rooms. This heat he is feeling right now simply shows the dedication and the type of character that these people have. After all, only those that have powerful will could go through that hellish scene he had just seen. Any weak-minded individual would have long already given up just from the heat alone.

Now, if the type of training the people in the first room are doing is already that insane, not to mention the other rooms. Natas could already imagine that it would definitely be hard and insane as well just based on the fact that he could hear shouts of pain coming from each of those rooms as well.

Moreover, if this is what the first floor is like, then how much more are the other floors? Just what type of training exactly do they do that it's at the same level as the extreme physical exercise he had seen just now?

"What training is being done on the other floors?" Natas decided to just ask Kayn about it rather than assuming it in his mind.

"As you can see, the first floor is obviously related to physical and endurance training," Kayn started explaining as he begins walking to the stairs leading to the next floor. Meanwhile, Natas closely followed behind him.

"On the second floor of the House of Dragons, the training is all about speed and accuracy, which is for range users and those students that use weapons that need one of those two skills,"

"The third floor is for mechanics, logic, and algorithm, specifically for inventors and scientists,"

"The fourth floor is for concealment and resourcefulness, obviously for those that have talent in being assassins and investigators,"

"The fifth floor is for communication and strategy, evidently the floor where they teach the talented and potential future commanders and generals,"

"And lastly, the sixth floor is for the Elementalist. This is the floor where those that have awoken their elements really early on are assigned. I have not visited that floor even in the future, especially since information about the sixth floor is being tightly kept shut, so I don't have any clue as to what's going on over there. Though I've heard plenty of rumors about it. One is that the sixth floor is actually just an empty space where one could find a Teleportation circle which allows the students to teleport to another location where they do the real teachings. It's because of how dangerous their actual training is that they can't do it in the building of the House of Dragons even though it's so big already. That is probably why the sixth floor is very silent all day and would only have some noises when it's close to dismissal,"

"Quite the spectacle the House of Dragons has presented itself as but is that seriously just it?"

"Well,"

"Just kidding. It's indeed surprising, just like you've said, especially if you consider the fact that these are just students. I can already imagine the bright future they would have if they survive all of this, you being the best result of it,"
