Arad sliced the T-rex into small pieces and stored the head as a trophy, the other students all gathered around the massive flames to cook the meat. There was no particular cook, everyone just sliced what they wanted from the meat with knives and started grilling it themselves, there was that much meat for them to choose from.

The drivers, Isdis, and her guards, everyone started eating, and soon they found something, all the T-rex's meat was as tough as leather and had a strong pungent smell to it. Most couldn't even get it close to their mouths, let alone try to chew it.

Zara took a large bite and stared at them, "It isn't considered a delicacy for taste but for its rarity. Only hunters strong enough to hunt it, or those wealthy enough to pay someone to risk their lives to hunt it are capable of tasting Death Jaw's meat." He looked at Arad who was chewing down on the beast's thigh.

"And Aron hunted it?" One of the students looked at Arad.

"That's right." Zara sighed, "He'll not only be able to survive here but probably would become one of the richest and most powerful hunters in the beast land with such power." He then looked at Matilda, "Unlike you..."

"Why bring me into the conversation?" she gasped.

"A human had surpassed you in hunting." Zara replied.

"You as well, I've never seen you hunt a death jaw. Don't compare Aron with anyone, he's the outlier." She cried, "Aron, isn't that right?"

"She's right," Arad replied while still munching, "It'll be unfair to compare me to most people. Instead of aiming too high, how about tackling what is in front of you first?" He looked at her with a smile, "Hunt a bison first, and then look at bigger prey."

Arad cut a large piece of meat and gave it to Ignis who was running around his legs and eating, she started munching, and Serin walked away from Mira's side and headed toward him.

"D...a...d!" She reached up with her arms and he looked at her with a smile, "Want some?" He sliced a thin strip of meat and crushed it in his palm to tender it. He then grilled on the flames and gave it to Serin.

Serin could barely eat it, the best she could do was nibble and suck on its juices. Arad patted her head, "You must eat to grow."

After eating their fill, Arad pulled the death jaw's poison gland and some of its scales to the class to see. He lifted the gland in his palm and approached Lucia, "Where do I put this thing?"

"Don't touch it directly!" She cried and rushed to bring a small leather bag and engraved a cold magic circle on it. "We're in the middle of a trip, we'll postpone studying it until later." She then quickly pointed at the scales, "Keep those, they are used in creating anti-magic armor and weapons, they are quite valuable."

Arad nodded, "I see..." He immediately turned toward Mira, "Can you make something with them?"

Arad usually only had basic armor like leather or steel as his scales provided all the defense he needed, wearing his old scales also didn't seem to make any sense. But, the death jaw's scales are a different thing. If those things can help him negate magic, or even reduce its effectiveness then it'll be a sweet bonus.

"Mira, are you making another thing?" Several students from Mira's class approached her and Arad. "Those scales must be hard to work with." One added.

"She's riding a red wyrmling and fighting velociraptors?" Matilda gasped.

"Why aren't the flames burning her?" Selina mumbled.

Arad looked at them with a smile, "Serin can't control her holy magic, the best she could do is release it. There are two cases, if she likes the target, they would get infused with the holy magic, if she hates them, they'll get blasted in a smite." He pointed at the glowing Serin, "She's now releasing her divine magic into Ignis, and since she likes her, Ignis is getting

infused."

"That doesn't answer my question." Selina pulled her staff, she was ready to assist Ignis and

Serin.

"Serin's clothes are made from red dragon leather, and since Ignis's flames are infused with Serin's holy magic, Serin is resistant to them. In this case, she only feels like she's sitting on a warm stool." Arad explained with a large smile on his face.

"I know it doesn't seem like it, but all of Serin's clothes were enchanted with defensive spells. Aron was getting paranoid after she dropped from her bed and got a bump." Mira scratched her head, "Even her diaper is made of enchanted demon spider silk."

"I tested her clothes," Arad smiled, "She won't get hurt even if those monsters bit her. Of course, unless they aim for the exposed head." He cracked his neck, "It's about time." Two velociraptors lunged at Ignis from the sides. She can dodge and attack one, but she'll be moving at a rapid pace and Serin won't be able to keep holding onto her back. She has to take one bit on her tail and fight the other one.

Arad pulled a sword and took a stance, everyone stared at him, this was the first time they saw him actually using a weapon. They've heard he's a fighter, but they didn't know just how

powerful he is.

"Action Surge, Adrenaline Rush." Arad simply pretended to use those skills and lunged forward at a blinding speed, slashing all of the velociraptors in the blink of an eye with a

thunderclap.

Ignis gasped as she saw him standing beside her, she was expecting the velociraptors' attack, but it seemed he had saved her. Arad squatted down and patted them both, "You've done a good job. Sorry for interfering, but I'll not let you two get injured."

The velociraptors' corpses fell on the ground, bleeding as everyone stared at him lifting Serin from Ignis's back and walking with them to the carriages. "It seems this place is a bit more dangerous than home, please keep her close by." Arad gave Serin back to Tina.

"Can I have the ones I killed?" Ignis asked and Arad nodded, "They are all yours." She rushed

back to bring them.

"Are you by any chance that strong?" Matilda approached Arad with a confused face. "The death jaw and the swarming biters. Those are notorious for killing hunters." "Aron is the strongest fighter here." Isdis came from behind her, "That's why I hired him as our guard." She tapped Matilda's shoulder, "That size and those muscles aren't for show."
