The few days were a doozy. I had an absolute ton of stuff on my pte, most of it in the form of the dark-skinned dragon dy jumping here whenever she felt like it. Which basically meant she was here all the time, except when she slept.

  Of course having Lady Janina here was a great help for my avatar doll progress, and thanks to her, I improved them at lightning speeds. In just one day we turhe dragon avatars into something that could accept one of my cards and have that card ‘take-over’ the avatar. … but only if they look basically humanoid, as the avatars couldn’t have things like tails, or wings yet.

  So the day we worked on adding the ability for the avatars to have wings, tails, etc. I decided to hese ‘sed geion’ avatar dolls Dragonmaid avatar dolls, as that is why I made them. With them, I could take one of my Dragonmaid cards and just put the card into the cards slot in the avatar, and then my Dragonmaid would take it over and could use it as her body. With that, they could stay summoned for as long as they wanted. … or about 40 hours. Because there was one problem.

  The avatar dolls don’t regee mana as quickly as my monsters use it, so their mana will eventually run out. For how long they st seems to depend on the monster, with stronger moaking a bit more, and weaker moaking a bit less.

  Now solving this issue wasn’t an issue. I could just make mana transfer devices that take mana directly from the Citadel core usie mana transfer. But instead, I decided on something else. I made a full room that was the ‘doll room’. Eventually, it would have charging stations for ead every avatar doll running around HomeBase, and after the doll runs low on mana, the monster will just have to return the doll there.

  And why would I do that? Well, I think it might be possible to maybe link my skill with a device that will do some fun things. … that expined nothing. What I want to see, is if I make a device that pull cards out of my Colle, give them to a meical arm or something that thehose cards into the card slot on an avatar doll. And of course remove the card aurn it into Colle when the doll es back for a recharge. This way, one doll won’t just be used by one monster, but instead be rotated on by multiple monsters.

  I think that would be for the best, as otherwise I’d have a big problem. I just have too many monsters in my colle. If I try to dedicate one avatar for each, I’d need 1295 avatar dolls. And that is just at this moment, not ating for future sets I’ll unlock. Of course that number isn’t impossible, but it is a bit much. Something in the few hundred range is a bit more what I’m looking for.

  Of course this all relied on me being able to make something that could take cards from my Colle. For that, I turo Laura and Tahlia. I already take out a card from Colle via Tahlia, or as she is also known, Ste. I transfer a card from the Colle to Ste and then take it out. So in theory, I don’t need a device that pull cards out of Colle, as long as I make something that take stuff out of Ste.

  … but admittedly, I don’t know whie is easier to make, so we’ll see whie it will end up being. The Ste one would be more versatile, so probably that.

  Outside of the avatar doll project, I worked on training my skills. With Lady Janina and Agunan now both teag me draic magic, … and admittedly Lady Janina being quite a bit better at expining things than Agunan, sorry, I was making leaps towards the skill.

  Then there was the practice we did when Alid Lua were here. The soul transfer practiow in a way, we had it easy, because all of our System Supports already had an idea on how it is dohanks to Different Dimension Factory. And while we don’t go into the Factory quite the same as Agunan does, it is still a data point we use.

  We did struggle with detag out souls from our bodies, but Alice did learn a rick. She was able to separate the two souls she has in her body into two different … well souls. Usually, they are very close together and do everything together, but with a bit of soul magic stuff, she was able to make a divide betweewo souls. Then she could let one soul at a time trol her body. It kind of reminded me of the duel Yugi and Atem had against Pegasus, where they did their soul sing to avoid the mind reading.

  Still, having access to this divine dragon as a teacher, and all I have to do is eain her a bit. Definitely worth.

  “The Draic Body. In short, you will be able to transform your body into something that resembles our humanoid form, or eventually even into a full dragon. This will help both your defensive and offensive capabilities, as draic bodies are quite a bit more sturdy than humanoid bodies.” Lady Janina told me. This was already something Agunan had told me previously, but I didn’t mind the recap. Also, Agunan never said I could potentially turn into a full dragon.

  “Our first goal will be to get you to spread your scales, starting from the one c your heart.” Lady Janina said.

  “... may I ask why I’m here?” Ria asked Lady Janina.

  “Your Vampiriodification is simir to Draic Body. The way they are used is almost identical. That will make you a good practice partner for Brian.”

  “Wouldn’t Agunater?” Ria asked. I know Agunan did push her to better her Vampiriodification, so maybe she assumed he could do the same to me.

  “Perhaps. But I gave him a small job, so you will do. And we, dragons, don’t use System skills, so it is better if someoh a simir System skill does it instead.”

  Oh? So that is why Agunaoday. I wonder what Lady Janina asked him to do? Well, I’ll just ask him ter.

  “The most important part is learning how you spread the scales across your body. After that, the rest is just extending that same feeling to every part of your body. At least until the first long-time goal of c your entire body with dragon scales is aplished.” Lady Janina told me.

  “... alright. And what es after that?”

  “Learning how to grow wings, a tail, cws, horns, or other such extremities that humanoids don’t have.”

  … that sounds familiar. Ria was learning Vampiriodification to grow out her nails or something, right?

  “And as I said earlier, the final goal of the skill is turning into a full dragon, but don’t expect to be doing that before you are quite old already.” Lady Janina told me.

  “I wouldn’t uimate Brian if I were you, my Lady.” Ria said. “He is way too abnormal to follow eveandards you know.”

  … I would argue, but using DNA Surgery, I probably could turn into a draght now.

  Actually, I probably should do that. That might give me the feeling required to use Draic Body. And maybe if I am a dragon, it will be easier to use Draic Magic.

  “... I should test that…” I muttered.

  “Excuse me? What was that?” Lady Janina asked.

  “Oh, nothing. I just have an idea.” I told her. “Ria, I think you might want to step out for a moment. I’ll call you back after the test.”

  “... alright? I’ll be outside.” She told me, ahe practi.

  “Just what are you pnning?” Lady Janina asked.

  “Nothing much. Just this.” I said, as I put the single card into the bracer form of my ‘duel disk’. It is vehat my terminal hold a card eve isn’t in a duel disk form, especially when all I need is one. “I activate DNA Surgery and decre Dragon-type.” I said to activate the card.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]The ges in my body were immediate. Every part of my body began to quickly swell, as my body gained mass, to the point where I got afraid that my clothes would rip, so I quickly put everything but my boxers into Ste. I don’t mind sacrifig my undies, just so I don’t fsh Lady Janina.

  As my body kept growing, I also grew scales all over my body. And it didn’t stop there. My hands, while still looking like human hands, grew long sharp nails. My mouth turned into something more like a snout, my mouth growing longer and my teeth sharpening into razor sharp dragon fangs. From my head, a pair of horns popped out. That part was just a bit painful. Then from my tailbone, a tail grew out, and at the same time, a pair of wings appeared from my upper back.

  By the end of my transformation, I looked like a small dragon. I was only about three-ish meters tall while standing on my back legs, so definitely small. My scales were a range of colors. Near my heart, where the red scale I got from Agunan was, my scales were a simir red to that, but the further the scales got from that, the more their color ged. At first, the scales turned a bck color, until reag my extremities. On my arms and legs, the bck color then turned white radient. Except my cws and wing membranes, which seemed to take on a purple color.

  … I feel like my colors are all over the pce. Am I just se that I ’t even hold a solid color as a dragon?

  I looked back at Lady Janina, and her avatar had gohrough a simir transformation as I did. She was now a small western-style dragon, with bronze and gold scales. I was expeg her to be rger, sidering her dragon form, but I guess this avatar is separate from her real body. The different body style is iing though. I mean, she is a serpentine dragon normally.

  {What did you do?} Lady Janina asked in draic. She usually speaks… the humanoid nguage while in the dragon avatar, but she must have ged back since she is a dragon at the moment.

  {I activated one of my cards, trying to turn myself into a dragon. And it seemed to work. But as it affects everyone close to me, you must have been caught up in it as well. That is why I sent Ria away.} I expined, before adding. {Holy I didn’t expect it to work on you. I assumed the avatar wouldn’t be affected.}

  {How these ‘cards’ interfere with a dragon avatar?} Lady Janina asked. {They should be ued by all magic.}

  {Well, they might be called Spell cards, well, DNA Transpnt is actually a Trap card. Either way, it has something to do with Cha… actually, I’m not sure I talk about that, even if it is with you.}

  {And who would keep you from speaking about it?} Lady Janina asked. I sensed a bit of hostility in her voice, as if she was saying: ‘Who dares to deny me?’

  {... I … ot answer.} I quoted FMA Brotherhood a with what I think might be the best choice I have.

  {... Alright. I’ll let it be for now. But you better tell whoever it is that is keeping you from speaking that they o stop.}

  {Please don’t threaten me. I don’t like it.}

  Whenever I am threatened, it makes me think I might o fight said person. And I’d really rather not fight Lady Janina. I’m not saying I absolutely ot take on her, but it would be difficult. But I think with Exodia and five Divi monsters, I probably could take on her. Especially if I kept spamming Spells and Traps at her. Even she must have limited amount of mana, so eventually I would win.

  I deactivated my tinuous Trap, ahe ge in my body. I was quickly returning into my regur form. Lady Janina’s avatar did the same.

  (You might want to check your status.) Laura told me when I was back to normal. (You got a new skill.)

  I did as Laura said and looked at my status.
