"And my mind always tends to wander into random thoughts."

"If I were to analyze it, this is really the only conclusion I could come to."

Makoto Haramura spoke eloquently.

"Your true power should be to conceptualize the existence of the 'fire dragon,' which does not exist in this world but only in fantasy, and to materialize it."

"So, the fire power you're using now is just one of your many abilities."

He used the knowledge about the dragons in the miniature garden that the White Demon had just told him.

Makoto Haramura continued explaining to Stella.

"Besides your ability to burn flames, I suspect you also possess a body as strong as a dragon's, tough dragon scales, and extremely strong vitality."

"Whether in Western or Eastern mythology, dragons are hailed as the strongest fantasy species. There should be a lot more that you can develop."

At this point, Makoto Haramura looked at Stella.

"That's what I was saying earlier. If you had really used all your strength, I would have suffered a crushing defeat."

On this point, Makoto Haramura was not being modest.

The abilities of time and space are the two most mysterious abilities.

While it grants its holder immense power, it also has limitations.

That is, this power can only act directly on oneself or on non-living things.

Otherwise, such power would be far too extraordinary.

If he wanted to, he could accelerate a person's time, causing them to age and die, or he could use spatial power to create a hole in the person's body.

To kill him would only take a moment.

But this effect is clearly impossible to achieve.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the power of time and space is completely incapable of affecting other people's bodies.

As long as the opponent's magic power is weaker than that of the space-time ability user, or the opponent is completely unprepared for the space-time ability user, then the space-time ability user can still intervene to a certain extent.

If Stella used the full power of a dragon just now.

Now, Makoto Haramura can only accelerate his own progress, becoming a fly, completely unable to do anything about Stella.

Even freezing time around Stella just now wouldn't have been possible.

"Ha, but I don't know how to awaken the true power within me."

As if trying to grasp something, Stella sat in the chair and repeatedly opened and closed her hands several times.

"I was just trying it too, but no matter what I did, it seemed like I could only communicate with the power of fire."

"It's simple, it's because your abilities haven't been fully awakened yet."

"In short, your power is in an unawakened state."

But then a problem arises.

"Then how should I awaken my ability?"

Now all that remained on Stella's face was bewilderment.

The concept of "Dragon" is the only one in the world, and the only one in history to awaken it.

Stella didn't even have a template to copy.

To this, Makoto Haramura simply smiled slightly and then held up two fingers.

"The first method."

"It's about constantly engaging in battles that push you to the limits of life, squeezing out your potential through these life-or-death struggles."

"After all, the potential that a person can unleash when facing life and death is the most terrifying."

"The desire to live can unleash the infinite potential of humankind."

Stella nodded her head.

To be honest, this was the only solution she could think of.

When there seems to be no way forward, you have to work hard and fight your way out.

"So what is the second method?"

Unbeknownst to her, Stella was looking at Makoto Haramura with expectant eyes.

"It's not that difficult, it's not."

"The reason you can't draw upon the power within yourself is simply because you don't have a deep impression of the 'dragon' as a creature."

"Or rather, they simply don't have a clear understanding of it."

Even if you know about dragons in novels, you still think they are just fake and can't form a strong impression of them.

"After all, your true power should be to conceptualize the existence of the 'fire dragon' that does not exist in this world but only in fantasy, and to materialize it."

"If you believe it's all fake, how can you materialize it?"

Stella listened very attentively, and even nodded occasionally.

"Stella, do you believe me?"

Suddenly, Makoto Haramura stopped his narration and asked Stella this question.

"Of course I believe you. If it weren't for you, I would never have known that my ability is actually 'Dragon'."

Stella answered affirmatively without hesitation.

"Then I'll show you the true fantasy species—'Dragon'!"

Chapter 064 Shall we do morning exercise together?

There are no mature conclusions to support this matter, but Makoto Haramura believes there are no problems.

However, this is currently the only feasible solution.

According to White Yaksha's theory, it would be most cost-effective to use real dragon blood as the trigger for awakening.

But the current White Demon doesn't have such a thing either.

Therefore, the only help they could offer Stella was the image imprinted in the mind of the White Demon: the true appearance of the dragon living in the miniature garden.

"Hahaha--"

Stella, who had been sitting in a chair for an unknown amount of time, suddenly woke up.

The sweat that had been frozen on her forehead started streaming down her face, and she gasped for breath like someone who had just come ashore from drowning.

"So, Stella, did you get anything out of it?"

He quickly pushed the water that had been poured earlier in front of Stella, and then took a few tissues from the table and handed them to Stella.

"Thank you so much."

Stella took the tissue from Makoto Haramura, but instead of wiping the sweat from her neck and forehead immediately, she leaned back in the chair and covered her eyes with the tissue.

"fine."

"This is what I should be doing anyway. What's the point of doing it?"

Makoto Haramura was certain that Stella had not awakened the true power of a dragon as a result.

If he had awakened his power, his outward appearance would not be so ordinary. Even when he awakened the causal power of spacetime just two days ago, he only managed to eliminate the surrounding aftershocks thanks to the blessing card given to him by the White Yaksha.

Otherwise, Shinomiya Kurono's office, along with the symptoms Haramura Makoto experienced when he awakened, would have been obliterated in the alternate dimension.

That's why he asked Stella if she had any special feelings.

He needed to determine whether his method was effective.

"There probably is..."

Stella's tone wasn't entirely certain either, her words tinged with hesitation.

She stopped lying on her back, picked up a tissue from her forehead, and wiped away all the remaining sweat.

Stella sat up straight and met Haramura Makoto's gaze.

She slowly reached out her hand and gently pressed it against her full breasts, her bloodless cherry lips murmuring softly.

"I could feel my blood boiling just now."

"That scalding heat felt like being inside magma."

"I seem to sense that I can grasp something, but I can't quite grasp it..."

Stella acted somewhat incoherently and spoke incoherently.

However, Makoto Haramura's eyes lit up immediately, and he understood what Stella meant.

"This should be working. I feel that your dragon blood is boiling. As for why you haven't awakened directly, I think it's because the boiling of your blood hasn't reached a critical value yet."

"If you could break through the critical value directly, you would probably have become Little Dragon Girl by now."

While half-joking, Makoto Haramura got up and refilled Stella's empty water glass.

Stella took the glass of water directly and drank it all in one gulp.

"So, does that mean I have to keep visualizing this video from now on?"

After replenishing her fluids twice, Stella's lips, which had been somewhat pale, regained their rosy color, and her pupils and facial expression revealed excitement.

I thought it was a pipe dream, but I never expected to see hope of success so quickly.

"No, watching footage you've already seen once won't give you any more shock."

"I will provide you with new images tomorrow night for visualization."

Makoto Haramura shook his head, pushed back his chair, and stood up.

"Huh? There are still videos like this?"

Stella opened her pink lips in surprise.

Even now, she finds it difficult to describe the images she saw at that time.

Magnificent, breathtaking...

Even though she knew it was just a video, she was still deeply moved when she saw the giant red dragon flying in the sky.

Even though the giant dragon wasn't looking in her direction.

She felt as if her heart was being gripped by that terrifying aura, and even breathing seemed like a luxury.

What I was watching was just an image.

She seemed to still feel the intense heat, an inescapable heat, from the dragon's breath.

So she believed that the image was real.

However, she never thought of asking Makoto Haramura where this precious footage came from.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Given that Haramura Makoto already trusts her so much—a complete stranger he's only known for less than a day—how could she possibly do anything to put Haramura Makoto in a difficult position?

To her complete surprise, such a precious video still exists?

"There are some, but they are far from being many."

I moved to the front of the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out the ingredients one by one and placed them on the table.

"So Stella, you have to work hard too, awaken your abilities before my images are completely exhausted."

"Otherwise, we might only be able to try the first method to help you get the hang of it."

"I see."

Stella nodded immediately, but her attention was now drawn to another action of Haramura Makoto. She propped herself up on her slightly sore legs and came to Haramura Makoto's side.

"Makoto, are you getting ready to cook?"

"Ok!"

"Dragons have another characteristic: they have a very large appetite. You must be very hungry now after expending so much energy just now."
