Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System Chapter 263

Six more months have passed. I am currently fourteen. My daily life has not changed much. However, I have been more involved in my company now. The first prototype flying carriage is going to be fully developed within the next year. I am quite excited about this.

Adel now confesses her love to me at least once a day. She has actually calmed down quite a bit. She no longer freaks out if people talk to me. Even when someone else confessed to me, she did not go crazy and try to cling to me. In fact, she even gloated about how I never outright rejected her as if it was some kind of amazing thing. While it was true that I never told her I did not wish to date out right, she knew I was not into such things at this time. So our days were basically the same. Adel and I were the same as always.

As the days passed, I went to the academy and worked on learning as much as I could. I still have four years to go, and I am learning new things every day. I am standing at the top of my class. But only barely there are a few smart people who do very well on the tests. I am lucky if I can even beat them by five points, but that is only on written exams. For practical exams, I am way above the rest.

But currently, my team and I are now standing in the Dean's office. "Dean, you called us?"

"Yes… I called you here specifically because a dungeon has appeared at the base of the cliff where your village is located." The Dean replied, causing my eyes to narrow.

"As anyone investigated it yet?" I asked. I had a bad feeling something was not right.

"Your father…. And… From the reports we got from your brother, he has not returned." These words made my face go pale. If anything has happened to my father, I swear I would... I felt my ancient will start to wake up, but it was quickly quieted when I felt both my hands grabbed. I turned to see both Adel and Jen holding my hands. I really owe these two.

"Then I will set off immediately. Please notify my instructors." I replied as I turned. I did not wish to wait a second longer. Every second counted, especially in a dungeon.

"Wait! You need to know what kind of monsters are inside." The Dean yelled after me.

"It doesn't matter what kind they are. They will all die." I said in a low voice, trying to hide my rage. "As I am now, unless they are all boss monsters, nothing will stop me from finding my father. I must go."

Preparation was key at this time. I had to rush back as soon as possible. I had many things I needed to deal with before I left, and I had to do it all within the next few hours. I planned to leave today.

"Faith, go. I will tell Annie to deal with the company. We will meet you at your village. Just do not enter the dungeon by yourself." Adel squeezed my hand. I turned and looked at her. Seeing her serious expression, I nodded and took off, only leaving behind a few words. "Thank you, Adel. I will see you all soon!"

I flew nonstop towards my house. But even with my speed, it will still take me at least a week to reach my house, and I was already using all the body buffs that increase speed. While it was much faster than a normal journey, I still wished it was faster.

A week of no sleep was nothing to me. But when I reached the entrance of Cyirlia village, I felt something was very much off. The whole town seemed to be surrounded by some kind of fortified wall. I could hear cries and yells as smoke plumes rose into the sky. "What is going on here!?" My voice roared through the sky.

I flew over to where what looked like a battle was taking place and shot my body down in the middle of it, and landed on the ground creating a crater a few feet wide. My sudden presence on the battlefield shocked everyone there. They had swords, pitchforks, and many other tools that would not normally be a weapon. I scanned the crowd to see many familiar figures, but one stood out the most. The village elder. His face was now pale as a ghost.

My body flashed as I came to instantly stand before the village elder and grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt, lifting him off the ground. "What the hell do you think you are doing!?"

"Why are you here!? Why are you not in the capital!?" The village chief's voice seemed to be filled with panic as well as anger.

"Are you an idiot!? Did you think I would not hear about my father's disappearance!? What did I say when I left this village? What did I tell you!?" I slammed the old man's body to the ground. My eyes were bloodshot with anger. I was just about to end the old man's life when someone tried to stab me with a pitchfork.

"Because of your father, we are all starving! Because of a damn demi human like you, we have to suffer!" The man yelled out as he tried to shove his pitchfork into me, only for a shattering sound to be heard as the pitchfork itself broke into many pieces.

"You blame me!? Who was it who tried to lynch me!? What the hell did I ever do to you people!?" I roared. I did not understand why they did not repent on their own mistakes. They all decided to try to lynch me, and even when we let them all live, they still did not see the error of their ways.

But what I heard next was the last straw. "You were born!"
