{A/n : Battle will be skipped as my main focus is on Dragon}
After several years since the devastating , the Human realm had made significant strides in its recovery from the profound destruction wrought by the war. Slowly but surely, the scars were healing, and the realm was regaining its former vitality.
Within a room that had become a central hub for the assembly of the new Human leaders, following the tragic demise of the Great Seven beings at the hands of the Demon Queen, all Ten of them now gathered around a round table. This council of leaders would play a pivotal role in guiding the realm towards a brighter future, one born from the ashes of their past.
A voice resonated within the room, originating from a wise pastel pink-haired woman who appeared to embody wisdom. She spoke, "So, you are saying, 'They' will come."
The woman with light caramel hair and green eyes responded, "Yes, has made its move. Professors have turned against us. The moment no one was left to monitor them after Professor Adriannel died, they returned to the Valley, gathering to come out again."
Her words hung heavy in the otherwise silent room, where beautiful and enchanting Goddesses were seated around a round table.
"We have to plan. For now, Valeriana, until how many days will you massacre demons? It's enough," one of the women said to a girl with slightly dull blue eyes and champagne silver hair, who had become more cruel and different from her past self after losing someone precious to her.
Valeriana replied, "It doesn't matter to you, Alora and ,Alisia,What is your plan? How should we proceed?"as she asked the pastel pink-haired girl.
"The plan is very simple. They want battle, we will give them one. We will all handle our Professors, and as for their army, we can hold as long as we can. The chances of winning are low, and they also have those five dragons of theirs, but if only someone could hold them off for a while," the woman said, her gaze narrowing towards the same woman with emerald-green eyes who informed them about everything.
"Know your place, Alisia. Chrono is not fighting a death battle," the woman stated firmly.
Alisia, who had been needling the others, smiled in amusement and continued, "Oh, isn't he just a mere slave of yours, or now you understand its value, that's why?"
The tension in the room escalated as a woman with silver eyes and hair emanated a powerful aura from her sword. She then looked toward the pink-haired woman and warned, "Don't call him that. Don't test your luck too, Alisia. You're a smart woman; you should know where to draw the line."
Alisia and the woman with silver hair exchanged words before Alora with her blonde hair intervened, saying, "It's enough, both of you. The decision is made; Chrono will not fight alone against those dragons."
With a nod of agreement from the champagne-haired girl four girls, Thalia, Alora, Valeriana and Diana left the room.
"So, now the juniors will team up," Alisia simply responded as she watched the departing figures of the other women.
"What now, Alisia? They don't understand what will happen if we can't hold their main force," a woman named Jenny voiced her concern, but Alisia remained resolute.
"It doesn't matter. I was already prepared with a plan if something like this happened."
"Jenny, call Thalia's brother from the demon realm. He will come running if he finds his sister is in danger, and about her brother, record a message for me to send to him," Alisia said as her pink eyes glowed, then turned green, and subsequently transformed her entire body into that of Thalia's. This was her ability, .
"Dragon will come with Thalia too for protecting her brother, and when all these people join the party, we will crush the as Chrono will win the battle.
After all, he is the Almighty dragon," the woman said, giggling with Thalia's voice.

'What's cute, Papa? Mama looks scary,' his little voice echoed in my ears. I couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed this young dragon already had an intuition about Thalia's potential for danger, perhaps a form of Dragon Intuition.
"It's okay, little one. I've already tamed her, well, not yet, but you can trust that she won't hurt you," I reassured the frightened dragon, who seemed to regard Thalia with trepidation.
There was a brief silence in response.
"Hey, Zeph, what's your plan?" Thalia's voice pulled me from my thoughts. I contemplated our next moves. Alora was a bit of a psycho, and without that Artifact from 'The Sanctum,' I wasn't keen on dealing with her.
Valeriana, on the other hand, was a tough nut to crack, and Diana didn't seem particularly interested in me, even though her earring must have revealed my bracelet.
Well, there was always next year. She would get her sword, and two people would be assigned to share a room.
If I remembered correctly, her dorm room was just down the corridor from mine. The chances of having her in my room were higher next year.
I decided to put many things on hold for now and focus on obtaining the Artifact as my "virginity proof."

?First Year Results Day?
In the hall filled with eager young men, all eyes were glued to the rankings. Among them, a beautiful woman approached a man with striking golden eyes and hair as dark as obsidian. Her voice was filled with excitement as she spoke.
"You've done it again, Zeph. Rank 1!"
As those words reached the ears of the young man, his thoughts were singular 'finally'
