Relaxing at the Dragonar Academy Training Camp
Veronica and Laphicet are seen eating breakfast together with Prim and Dezel, Frida and Silva, and the Paladin Ruler himself gather at the large long table.
"Say, Veronica, isn't it that time for some of the students from the Dragonar Academy to be at their training camp?" Oswald asked.
"Hmm, I think so. Silvia and her classmate should be getting ready for that. Why?" Veronica wondered why's her father bringing up that subject.
"That's because I sighed you all up for the camp along with Pals!" Oswald announced causing everyone shock like Veronica spitting her drink out.
"You what?!" Veronica and Frida asked shouting.
"I figured since you're all still new to having dragon partners and will learn more about being together with them, I called the Headmaster about this and he agreed letting you spend with experience Breeders." Oswald explained before making his milk.
"But what about the maids, who's going to keep them in check as they do their job?" Frida asked.
"Don't worry, all maids are trained to do their job perfectly and I'm sure they'll be okay while you're gone." Oswald reassured.
"Still, I'm not sure about this. I have a job as General of the army." Veronica reminded.
"Come on, Veronica, you need to take a break from the military duties and have some fun in your life." Laphicet stated.
"He's right, even strong warriors need to relax every once and a while." Oswald agreed.
"Yeah, can we please go! Please!" Prim begged.
Veronica wanted to protest this idea of going camping, but she knew that she's outnumber right now and couldn't say no even if she wanted to, and her goofy father have already made the arrangement with the Headmaster of Dragonar Aacemy, so there's no use in turning it down.
"Alright, I'll go to the training camp. I just hope Silvia doesn't find this weird." Veronica accepted and Laphicet smiles as he hugs her.
"Great, I'm sure you will have a great time there!" Oswald smiled.
"Just don't make me regret this." Veronica sighed.
"(I sure hope Glenn and my squad will be fine while I'm gone.)" Veronica thought as she knew Glenn is skill enough to be in charge of the squad during her absent.
"Oh yes, I also took the liberty of getting you girls each a swimsuit. Oh, and for the dragon boys too" Oswald mentioned.
"Of course, you have…" Veronica sweatdropped, worry about Oswald's taste in swimwear consider he's also a little pervert.
"So, when is the training camp?" Laphicet asked curious.
"I believe they students who are going there will leave the ground tomorrow, so make sure you all pack enough for the training camp which I think it's for a few days." Oswald answered.
"Well, thank you for breakfast, father. Now we'll be going to get ready for the training camp." Veronica finished eating her breakfast and left the table. Laphicet soon follow her after finishing his breakfast too.
"So, what is this training camp like?" Dezel asked Prim.
"I'm not really sure, all I know that the students go to a small forest resort with a big lake and close to a mountain. I think there's something special about that mountain too, but I can't remember." Prim explained.
"Well, might as well make one last check on the castle and get ready for the camp. Let's go, Silva." Frida walked away with Silva behind her.
Oswald is the only left at the dinning table as he looks out through the window staring at the blue sky.
"Hmm, something tells me they're going to have a great time there." Oswald said to himself with a little giggle.
(Tomorrow, Training Camp)
"Okay, we're here." Veronica announced as her ship landed near a building close to the lake, she and Laphicet soon exit the ship with Prim and Dezel, and Frida and Silva behind them.
"Greetings, Princess Veronica, we were informed that you all would be joining us." Rebecca greeted with a bow.
"I'm still surprised that father put you up to this." Silvia said.
"Believe me, I didn't want to come here because of my duty but he thinks being with experience Breeders would help get close to our Pals too." Veronica explained.
"Don't worry, being at camp won't be boring as you think. It could be fun for you." Angela stated.
"Plus, I believe this camp will help you guys become stronger together." Cosette added.
"Just make sure you don't have fun too much, if you know what I mean." Zaveid smirked, making a little joke.
"Come, I have to give the speech to the newcomers." Rebecca gestured Veronica's group to follow her as they make this way to the front of the building.
"Now then, at last camp is about to begin. What you'll experience here over the course of the next few days will have a lasting impact on the rest of your lives. All of the Sacred Dragonar hone their extraordinary abilities and completed their training in this very place, if you wish to be counted among their ranks one day, now is the time to show your fighting spirit as you aim for the top." Rebecca said giving encouraging words.
"(Wow, everyone's serious right now.)" Laphicet thought as Ash was thinking the same thing.
"I strongly recommend you rest for today and make preparation for tomorrow's training, but that is only a recommendation. Since we're here, it would be a shame not to have some fun." Rebecca pointed out as the students cheered.
Soon, everyone got change into their swimsuits and start having fun in the lake along with their dragon partners as some like to swim in the water and other staying on the land to work on their tan.
Meanwhile, Laphicet just finish putting on his sliver-blue swim shorts and exit the room.
"Okay, I'm going on ahead!" Laphicet called out.
Laphicet then stop noticing a girl going into her room.
The girl is a very pretty, waifish young woman. Short and slender, with pointed ears, short, pale blonde hair in a pageboy cut, and purple eyes. She wears a white dress-like outfit with a green-blue ribbon around the waist. Breasts sizes: B-cup.
"Hey!" Laphicet called out getting the girl's attention.
"Oh, hello…" The girl greeted.
"You're going to change for the lake?" Laphicet asked.
"No, I'm not going to the lake. I'm just going to spend the day in the room." The girl said.
"But why, wouldn't it be boring being alone? What about spending time with your dragon?" Laphicet confused.
"…Please, just leave me alone." The girl begged quietly with her eyes looking all sad before going inside the room.
"Well, that was weird." Laphicet commented, wondering what's making the girl so sad like that.
"Hey Laphicet, everything alright?" Veronica asked walking up to him. She now wears a two-piece bikini version of her armor as the bras are a bit smaller showing off her cleavage.
"Just met a strange girl who's gonna spend the day in her room." Laphicet answered.
"Is that so? Well, we can't force people into doing something, we'll just leave her alone." Veronica suggested.
"Okay." Laphicet nodded thought worry for that girl.
"Why, hello Princess Veronica, I was hoping to run into you here." Cosette greeted wearing a purple swimsuit with a smaller apron on top.
"Hello Cosette." Veronica greeted back.
"So, what do you think of Silvia's swimsuit?" Cosette gestured to Silvia behind her and Veronica's face quickly turn red upon seeing her younger sister in a revealing two-piece white bikini.
"S-Silvia, I had n-no idea you were into that kind of swimwear!" Veronica shocked as she hides her blushing face.
"This wasn't my idea; I was forced to wear this by my own maid and his Pal!" Silvia stated while blushing of embarrassment.
"Oh, come on, you look great in that and so do you, Veronica." Zavied complimented.
"I never ask for your opinion." Veronica muttered.
(Outside to the Lake)
"Huh, Hey Miss Cornwell! Where are you and Mister Eizen going?" A female student asked as she and her friend spotted the two going into the forest.
"We're going on a little nature walk, that's all." Eizen answered and they went into the forest.
Meanwhile, at the dock.
"I feel so embarrass, wearing this in front of the young students." Frida said nervous, wearing a light-purple two-piece bikini as the top is like a sash fin enough to give others a perfect view of her cleavage from top to bottom.
"Don't worry, I'll break any guys who dare try to look at you funny." Silva promised, wearing a silver swim trunk.
"Thank you, Silva, but I'm sure these boys will behave consider they're here for training." Frida pointed out.
"Aw, nothing feels good like swimming in the lake in the middle of a beautiful day, right Dezel?" Prim sighed happy as she floats on the lake with Dezel next to her. She wears a pink bikini.
"Yeah, it does feel okay." Dezel nodded wearing a black-green swim trunk.
"Whoa, check out Student Council President Rebecca!"
"I could die happy after seeing her like that!"
The male students are eying on Rebecca in her thin black linger bikini doing a little stretching before diving into the lake for a swim, then the boys turn their heads to Silvia and Veronica seeing them in their sexy bikini and feeling that it's sexier that both sisters are together.
"Uh, I'm not liking how everyone is staring at me like that." Silvia stuttered as she tries to cover herself.
"Not to worry, I'm quite sure Ash will be quite please with it." Cosette stated.
"What? I don't know why you would bring Ash in a discussion like this?" Silvia said, but deep down she hopes that Ash would notice her soon.
"Just relax, that's what today is about. Though it doesn't look like Ash is relaxing all that well." Zavied said. He wears a silver and green swim trunk.
They found out what Zavied meant by that as they see Ash being dragged around against his will by Jessica riding on her water dragon to show off her dragon's speed.
"Wow, that dragon can sure swim fast." Laphicet commented.
"But Ash doesn't seem to be having fun." Veronica pointed out.
Silvia felt a little jealous that Ash is with Jessica right now, then she and everyone else felt a strong wind blowing on them a bit and they see it's Eco on Lancelot's back.
"Eco? Lancelot?" Silvia surprised.
"I'm gonna borrow your Pal for a minute, okay?" Eco asked for permission.
"Wait, my Pal? But why?" Silvia asked.
"Because I'm gonna show that ugly Jessica a thing or two. If she thinks Ash is her dog, then she's crazy!" Eco explained as she's tick off about Jessica taking Ash from earlier.
"I don't know…" Silvia hesitated.
"Enough chit-chat, are you gonna wait around on the beach or come help me?" Eco asked as she invites Silvia to help deal with Jessica.
Silvia was still hesitate at first, but a second later she made up her mind.
"Yeah, make some room up there." Silvia grinned.
"That's the spirit!" Eco pleaded with Silvia's decision, and they fly off on Lancelot to chase down Jessica and rescue Ash.
"And they're off." Laphicet pointed out.
"Alright, we better have our own fun time while the sun is still up." Zavied stated as he make his way to the water.
"He's right, let's go swimming!" Laphicet grabbed Veronica's hand dragging her to the water.
The two started swimming around as they join Prim and Dezel, then splashing some water on each other for some fun while Frida and Silva are seen laying on a towel at the beach part relaxing under the warm ray of the sun. Cosette and Zavied are having their own fun with some other Breeders and their dragon partners playing a game of volleyball, and those two are winning more rounds than the others.
(Nighttime)
Laphicet and Veronica in their pajamas are walking in the hallway heading toward the bathroom to brush their teeth before going to bed for tonight, then they spotted Rebecca heading for the bathroom too and Laphicet just had a thought that he wanted to ask Rebecca about.
"Hey Rebecca, do you mind that I ask you a question?" Laphicet asked getting the red hair's attention.
"Oh, hey Laphicet, what can I do for you?' Rebecca asked.
"Well, I met this little girl with pointy ears and seem sad for some reason. Who is she?" Laphicet asked as he already figure that the pointy ear girl is a student with the others.
Rebecca became quiet for a bit while looking sad as well, but she decided to answer anyway.
"That girl is Lucca Sarlinen, she's a student of Dragonar Academy who holds greater skills than my own and the youngest to rank faster than most." Rebecca revealed the identity of the girl.
"Wow, she sounds amazing!" Laphicet commented.
"She is. Unfortunately, she's currently having trouble with her Pal Gawain." Rebecca mentioned.
"What kind of trouble?" Veronica asked curious.
"I'm not really sure, something happened between them sometime ago and Gawain have been refusing to let Lucca ride him again." Rebecca explained.
"Really, but Breeders and Pals are supposed to be working together as one and be close to each other like family or something." Laphicet confused of this situation.
"Sometimes even Breeders and Pals can have some trouble with each other, but between Lucca and Gawain is much worst." Rebecca stated.
"Ouch." Laphicet said.
"Indeed, if something isn't done about this soon then I fear something worst may happen." Rebecca worried.
"Did you try finding out why?" Veronica asked.
"Actually, we tried having Ash ride on Gawain as he can look into the dragons' memories and hoping to find out why Gawain has been rejecting Lucca, but our first attempt didn't work out well. But we're not giving up on them." Rebecca explained.
"Wait, Ash can look into the memories of the dragons he rides on?" Laphicet asked shock.
"Yes, it happened when he was facing against the giant Necromancia Dragon the first time and he explained that he saw its memory of the former dragon it once was." Rebecca explained.
"Wow, Ash is more special than I thought. We better step up our game if we want to show everyone our combined power!" Laphicet looked at Veronica with determination in his eyes.
"Yeah, we can't let a student show up on the General and his Pal." Veronica chuckled and became equally determined.
"Well, tomorrow is training day, so you guys better get plenty of sleep." Rebecca smiled.
The three went into the bathroom brushing their teeth and head to their bedroom for a good night sleep, Laphicet and Veronica took off their pajamas before sleeping on the bed together like they always do back on the ship. Everyone is sleeping peaceful each having their own dreams their enjoy.
"HELP?! HELP?!"
Until someone shouted waking up certain people like Rebecca, Veronica and Laphicet, they see Lucca running to them.
"Lucca, what's wrong?" Rebecca asked.
"It's Ash, he got hurt really badly and he needs help!" Lucca informed shocking the others.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
