America, a residential house near the railroad tracks.
Old Tang stared at the black dragon painting on the screen, his eyes wide with astonishment.
“Dragon? Could it be that this world... has dragons?” Old Tang felt his brain ache as he unconsciously pondered this question.
“What's going on..”
Old Tang recalled the dream he had been having lately, a dream where a child kept calling him "brother."
Uh
“Looks like I need to see a psychologist.” Old Tang furrowed his brows.
-
“Slay dragons? Is this professor joking? Does this world even have dragons?” The ordinary people in the Dragon World and the Wizard World were both shocked.
“I think it’s barely acceptable. After all, we’ve seen cats turn into humans, so the existence of dragons doesn't seem so far-fetched. Besides, can you explain this screen in front of you? You can’t, right? Since you’re all used to this screen, why do you find the existence of dragons so abnormal?” An ordinary person from the Wizard World asked.
“Man, you make a great point! I’m speechless!”
“What the heck is this kid? It feels like a ghost!”
“Ghosts aren’t this mysterious. This kid is so strange.” A wizard from the Wizard World said.
Chen Wen Wen: “Dragons? Does that mean our world has these dragons? And is the purpose of the Kassel Academy to kill these dragons?”
Fingol: “Green tea, shut up. Isn’t it obvious!”
Ronald Tang: “It still feels absurd. Dragons, do they really exist?”
Hermione: “Of course they exist! There’s the Hungarian Horntail, the Welsh Green Dragon, the Norwegian Ridgeback, and more! Loads of them! Is this Kassel Academy some kind of wizard academy that specializes in dealing with violent dragons?”
Susi: “It’s not a wizard academy?”
Ron: “If it’s not a wizard academy, how can it possibly deal with dragons?”
Frost: “But I’m curious about these wizards you’re talking about.”
Caesar: “In the Harry Potter video, the two people at the beginning, are those wizards? Forgive me, I’ve never heard of wizards existing in this world.”
Draco Malfoy: “It’s quite obvious, isn’t it? The world is divided into two types, one is the Muggle world, and the other is the wizarding world. You’re all about to slay dragons, and you don’t even know this?”
Dolores Jane Umbridge: “Slay dragons? Killing magical creatures requires permission from our Ministry of Magic! They even started a school to slay dragons! Investigate them!”
Angor: “?”
Hermione: “Is this Chinese boy a ghost? He’s so elegant!”
Ron: “I reckon he’s a ghost, otherwise, how can he be so elusive? I’ve heard that Hogwarts has a lot of ghosts.”
Viktor Krum: “This guy’s golden eyes were terrifying just now, but why are they not so scary now?”

The screen continues to play:
Blood rain falls endlessly.
Lu Ming Fei's pupils contract sharply!
Because he sees a dragon, terrifyingly huge, prostrate on the mountain peak, its massive wings, hundreds of meters wide, drooping down to the foot of the mountain.
He crawls through his own pool of blood.
“The progenitor of the dragonkind, the black monarch Nidhogg, was slain on his throne thousands of years ago.” The boy’s voice is soft and gentle, almost like a whisper.
“The new era has finally arrived. They bathe in the blood rain of this new era, celebrating with wild abandon.” The boy closes his eyes, as if sensing the temperature of the nonexistent blood rain.
“Oh my god..” Lu Ming Fei can’t help but tremble.
The boy smiles, a strange smile, a mix of pity and sadness: “Isn’t it wonderful? If not for that day, the world wouldn’t have become like this.”
“You’re close to that black dragon?” Lu Ming Fei asks curiously.
“No, we aren’t close. He deserves to die. He died well, very well.” The boy says with a smile.
——
When they see that dragon, so overwhelmingly huge.
Everyone in the Wizard World and the Dragon World is stunned.
“This thing! Does it really exist? Holy crap, this thing really exists in this world! Only Ultraman can take it on!”
“This is Ghidorah, but on steroids!”
“Holy crap, the immersion and pressure are off the charts! The train is like a toy in front of it!”
Hermione: “A dragon this big! Oh my god! How is that even possible!”
Ron: “Merlin’s beard… this… this kind of dragon, if it really existed, destroying cities would be a small task for this dragon, a mere whim. Even a dragon child or grandchild could easily do that, no sweat..”
Fingol: “@Ron, kid, that’s a great burn! You’ve got potential.”
Draco Malfoy: “Does this Kassel Academy slay dragons like this? But even a dragon this big is dead, isn’t it?”
Xia Mi: “It’s dead indeed, sad isn’t it?”
Ronald Tang: “Who killed it?”
Jiu De Ma Yi: “It doesn’t have to be a human that killed it, it could be a dragon of its own kind.”
Hermione: “Goodness, why would a dragon of the same kind kill their king? Dragons shouldn’t have such a high level of intelligence, how could they even think about overthrowing a monarchy?”
Xia Mi: “Who says dragons aren’t highly intelligent? Have you ever seen one?”
Hagrid: “Most dragons don’t have the same level of intelligence as humans. I used to keep several as pets! Oh!! Goodness me! Does a creature like this really exist? This… this kind of thing! Oh, I can’t even describe it! If only I could touch it!”
Xia Mi: “….”
McGonagall: “The Twilight God of Destruction from Muggle mythology? Nidhogg? I’ve heard of him. He’s the one who brought destruction to the gods in Muggle mythology, destroying the World Tree that carried countless worlds, but I never thought he would actually exist…”
Snape: “It seems Professor McGonagall has a vast knowledge of Muggle culture.”
Viktor Krum: “So, how did Lu Ming Fei see that dragon? Why does it feel like everyone else ignored it, no… where’s everyone else?”
Luna Lovegood: “I feel like this Lu Ming Fei might have fallen under some sort of illusion magic, what do you think?”
-
The Wizard World, Hogwarts.
Snape stares intently at the enormous black dragon, wondering what they would do if this thing appeared near Hogwarts.
Dumbledore gazes at the enormous dead dragon, “Now I’m sure of it, this so-called world twenty years from now isn’t our world. Snape, do you think there could be a dragon like Nidhogg in this world?”
Snape shakes his head firmly, “Impossible.”
“Yes, yes. That’s it.” Dumbledore smiles, “It’s a good thing that thing doesn’t exist, because otherwise, haha, it would be quite troublesome.”
-
The staff dormitory.
Quirrell stares oddly at the gigantic dragon, “Such a dragon can’t possibly exist in this world.”
Suddenly, a hideous face grows out of the back of his head, staring at the enormous dragon, “Yeah, such a thing can’t exist in this world. If it did exist, and if I could use it, my great cause would be within my grasp. Such a large dragon, worthy of the title Dragon King.”
“If it were Your Lordship, you would surely be able to tame this so-called Dragon King.” Quirrell flattered.
Voldemort sneered, “I will surely win.”
-In the video:
…
Lu Ming Fei wakes up in a daze. Guderian is still explaining about these so-called ‘dragons’, but there’s a middle-aged man with a neon look standing beside him.
“This is the Dragon King of Norse mythology, Nidhogg! He destroyed the World Tree, and his body is covered in the bones of the dead! Of course, this is just people’s speculation about the black dragon.” Guderian says.
“Even this so-called Norse mythology is based on that Dragon King. No one knows what the real Black Dragon King looked like, since it was five thousand years ago.”
“Five thousand years ago, Xia hadn’t even been founded, right?” Lu Ming Fei thinks to himself.
“Ming Fei, we chose you because dragon blood flows through your veins.”
“Dragon… dragon blood?” Lu Ming Fei can’t contain himself. “What the heck?”
“You mean I’m a little dragon person? I have a tail behind me, and horns on my head?”
Guderian’s expression becomes serious, “That’s a dark period in history. Human females were offered as sacrifices to the dragons. It was still the tribal era back then. The sacrifices would mate with the dragons, and thus, human-dragon hybrids would be born. Logically, there’s a reproductive barrier between species, but dragons are different. Dragon genes are the strangest. Have you ever heard… of the nine sons of the dragon?”
“Huh? You mean I’m some kind of mixed breed?” Lu Ming Fei remains unconvinced.
“Of course not, Ming Fei! Hybrids inherit the power of the dragon and the nature of humans, how could you say that so negatively? And you, you’re the noblest among hybrids! You’re a genius!” Guderian says earnestly.
“Oh.” Lu Ming Fei nods, taking it as a story, already thinking about how to escape this insane academy.
“The original emperor, Nidhogg, gave birth to four dragon kings, the King of Bronze and Fire, the King of Earth and Mountain, the King of Ocean and Water, and the King of Sky and Wind!”
“Our true purpose is to kill all dragons, especially the four monarchs! If the four monarchs awaken, humanity’s survival will be at great risk!”
“And we have already found one of the four monarchs, the King of Bronze and Fire, that’s Norton, and he’s hiding in Great Xia!”
“We are prepared, ready to kill him!”
