Synopsis

[Ensemble cast + academy competition + secret identities revealed + satisfying power-up story]

On the first day of school, there was an entrance test.

With the "excellent" result of zero spiritual power and no elemental affinity, Gong Yue came in dead last among the new students.

Student A: "No affinity and zero spiritual power. The worst of the worst."

Student B: "What a joke. I'll bet she won't last a week before she gets kicked out."

Student C: "A collateral branch is still a collateral branch. Did she really think she was part of the Gong family?"

Mockery, derision, and doubt...

But she didn't care.

She was the last dragon in the world.

Bearing seven layers of seals, she had infiltrated the Sokes Noble Academy under the identity of the youngest daughter of the noble Gong family, all to find her kin.

Reliable sources said that winning first place in the Spirit Summoner League would earn her information about dragons.

But to compete, she needed a team.

The league required team members to fill four roles: control, special ops, roaming, and medical.

Gong Yue thought she was unlucky enough, but her teammates were each in an even worse situation.

Control: Ying Wuxue.

A frost phoenix who had been branded with a fire phoenix mark as a child. If it wasn't removed in time, he would explode at eighteen.

Special ops: Qingqiuguan.

A four-tailed fox born missing a tail. He was kidnapped by a demon spirit summoner at six, poisoned, and had just three years left to live.

Roaming: Yi Meng.

The mermaid princess Yilaer, stripped of her status, was caught in a deep-sea vortex and burdened with a curse that made her suffer unbearable pain every full moon.

No one believed in them at the league.

The opposing team was even more arrogant.

"A team with the last-place freshman as captain? You can still surrender."

"Why is your special ops player a limping support? Do you even know how to play a mental-type character?"

"I've never seen a fire-element healer before. This is a competition. There's no time for you to read the manual."

The match began.

"What the hell! Aren't you the controller? Why are you running around?"

"The special ops player can heal??? Are you insane?"

"Why is the healer carrying a greatsword... Am I seeing things?"

"Can someone deal with the roamer? They're using dark elements as a controller!"

"Don't argue, everyone. Let's just count how many elements Gong Yue has. I'm losing my mind!!"

Gong Yue raised an eyebrow.
