Do you know what a hero is?

It is a word that is used to describe cheat-like existences.

Of course, the dictionary would say something completely different, but thats what I think of them as.

Seriously, how the hell do you go about beating up a dragon as a human? Dragons are supposed to be cheats from the moment theyre born.

They even study hard, and crave for knowledge.

And just look at their life expectancy. A thousand years is enough for a nation to rise and fall.

But to dragons, that isnt much. That thousand years is exactly the amount of time it takes for a hatchling to fully grow up!

But did you ever see heroes taking down hatchlings? NO!

The dragons they take down are the adults that have lived for nearly five millennia!

And when you try looking at the average age of the heroes, its all around 25 years old.

Its just that high because there are some heroes that are really old. Theres actually quite a lot of cases where heroes beat up dragons at the age of 18.

Ah, but why I am I complaining so much about heroes and dragons right now, you ask?

Here you go, teacher.

Hoho right.

Who would this young man in front of me be? Its Raina Rel Swin! The greatest hero of our age who saved the empire!

Ah, hes also my disciple.

And what did this disciple of mine bring me?!

A warm heart! Not the kind they serve you in restaurants, but a dragons heart!

In order to gain some time to run away, I talked about the evil dragon in some other kingdom, saying Ah, the kingdom next to ours is quite pitiable Who wouldve thought that the guy would kill the dragon and then chase me down in just a week!

And!

H, hello!

I, Ive heard much about you

The guy even brought back a princess that had been captured by the dragon, along with her escort wizard. Hahaha what the hell.

Mm? Why am I so unhappy, you ask?

Isnt it good that my disciple is strong, you ask?

Oh, right. I still havent told you about my profession.

Im a villain.
