I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 5: Observing Lessons

"Woahh." he said, lying down.

"Hmmm... What exactly happened!? why didn't the dragon attack me and even seemed to protect me." I continued in confusion.

"Lt. hmm... ahh..."

With a full stomach I rolled around thinking about every incident I experienced.

"Um... I'm a fake but why am I so weak!? it wasn't that the dragon was a mythological creature famous for its power." I said with a confused expression.

"Yahh...! needless to think, but can I be that strong... able to defeat the enemy with just one punch!?"

I kept thinking about the dragon monster with a feeling of admiration and envy, to be honest I was very envious of the power it had.

"I want to be like that, strong and able to defend myself." Closing my eyes I wish I could be strong.

Surely I will never be strong just by hope alone, strength does not come by itself, I have to learn and also train to be strong.

"Yosh...! then it's decided, I need to be strong!" I said to myself in a loud and passionate voice.

"But before that, I have to do something with this big crab, if it continues to be left, then the meat will definitely rot and will pollute the lake water, no.

"I don't want to lose a place this good, but how? this crab's body is huge."

"Hmmm...!?" muttered.

"Owhhh... right, how about I just freeze his body, put something in a cold temperature will slow the decay, but can I do it? in any case, the body of this crab is still very large, even more so maybe my success at that time was just a coincidence." I said while contemplating.

"Well, I wouldn't know the outcome if I didn't try."

Long enough to think I found a way to clean up the big claw, moreover I don't want to lose this good meal.

"All right...! let's start the preservatives!" I said with passion.

I immediately started spitting ice from my mouth starting from the legs and claws.

.

.

.

(1 hour later.).

"Huahhh.. need extra energy to get all this done!" I said with a long sigh from exhaustion.

"Sayangat!!! for good food!" I said trying to restore the spirit.

Brass!!!

Crass!!!

I kept spitting out ice to cover the entire body of the crab monster to preserve it.

.

.

.

"Yeahhh...! it's finally done..it's really exhausting, but...! yee!! I managed to do it, with this the meat won't rot because it's preserved and I don't have to worry about running out of food for the next few months." I said with a feeling of great pleasure.

"Then, it's time to arrange the house to be habitable."

Walking through every part of the hallway and entrance, I tried to recognize every place around the lake location to prepare for the defense and security of my new home.

"Hmm.. there are approximately five entrances to this lake that is too much..it is too risky if left open, yahhh,

"This house has only one door."

I immediately made the decision to seal the four existing doors and leave only one for me to go in and out.

"Well let's close this place with a few blocks of ice" I said confidently.

.

.

.

"wahh...!! it's quite tiring, let alone the distance from door to door is very far…"

I managed to close one by one the door with hard ice and would not be able to melt of course because it was made of magic and not from water frozen in the refrigerator.

"One by one my work is done, the rest is just learning and practicing, but how do I learn? all I know is a burst of ice, is there anyone who will teach me!?" I said while contemplating.

"Hmm...!? if you want to be smart, you have to learn from the experts and who else if not experience."

Experience is the best teacher to learn, you understand? by learning from experience we can understand various things, for example if you see your mother cooking slowly you will also be able to cook.

"Then, I just have to look at the way magic is used and imitate it." I still say with a little doubt.

"All right...! I just start from observing lessons, learning practice is the quickest way to do things."

"Hmm. what kind of monster will I meet yahh. I hope not a terrible monster like before." with a little hesitation I walked down my previous route.

"What's that?"

My eyes were fixed on a huge rock in front of me rather something that was behind it, it was like a slimy tail what kind of monster was it? I slowly watched him from a distance.

"This place seems safe, she won't notice my existence."

After finding a safe place to observe I began to set my sights on the monster, the lizard, the salamander, the gecko? the monster resembled a lizard, he seemed to be looking towards something!?

Following the monster's gaze I saw a scorpion monster three meters tall walking towards the lizard, suddenly the lizard monster's eyes glowed and instantly the scorpion turned to stone, that's terrible! it's shithole! I gotta get out of here...

Srekkkk...!

"Ware!! I'm caught."

When I walked backwards, my feet accidentally kicked a small rock and accidentally made a noise, the monster was dangerous to see I had to leave as soon as I could from here.

Shhtt!!!

"It's impossible that he's here." I said in shock.

When I peeked at him again, suddenly the monster was in front of me and immediately attacked me with his eyes, I immediately covered my body with my right wing and then immediately ran away with all my might to dodge his stone eye attack.

Krek!!!

"Yeah...! how's this, how's this? my wings are starting to stain... Argh...! there's no time to be afraid."

krakk!!!

"Aarghhhhhh!!!!"

I screamed very loudly while biting and ripping off my petrified wings before the effects of the stone crept onto the body.

It takes a lot of courage to do that but I've felt a lot more pain than just a broken wing, it's a lot better than dying a mannequin statue.

"Thank God I'm still alive, the attack just hit my wing, I'm very lucky to be safe" I said with relief.

With still enduring the pain I continued walking home, arriving at home I immediately washed my bloodstains and licked them, because saliva is a natural medicine that is owned by living beings.

"This shit hurts so much…!" I said while licking it

"Will my wings grow again!? huhh... Now I only have one wing, even though I haven't tried it to fly." sighing I looked at my broken wings.

"I'll reply to that lizard, I'll definitely reply!" I said with annoyance.

"Yosh...! I've seen how to use magic, time for a test of practice." I said excitedly as I shifted my frustration.

"If not mistaken magic energy is the life energy of the soul, yahh, even if it is only according to fantasy novels, hehe."

I immediately took a deep breath and concentrated on feeling the flow of mana in my body.

"Focus, focus all your thoughts on the energy in my body, don't be distracted by anything else."

While closing my eyes I tried to focus on sensing which flow – magic– energy was in me, so this is magic energy!? it felt warm and burning inside me, like there was a fire that kept burning without being extinguished.

.

.

"Well, I can already feel it, the rest is just a way to control it." I said very calmly.

After quite a while of meditating I finally managed to fully sense the magic energy.

"I just need to focus on what I'm thinking, just like before when I was spitting ice, but this time I'm going to use my eyes as an intermediary" I said, closing my eyes.

Time to try, do I have to cast a spell!? but the monster did not cast a spell at all, come to think that the monster was a mindless creature, wait for me this has a sense, it is no need to think.

"But what is the object of my experiment? hmm.. ooh right I tested it on that crab shell."

"Yahh. I just try, it never hurts to try, if it fails to stay in repeat again, very simple."

"in that case, freeze...!" I said loudly while staring at the crab shell.

"Frozen...! freezing...! it's frozen...!"

crass!!!

"Woaahhhh...! it worked! i succeeded...!"

"Hape hope!!! yeeeee...!!! I shouted joyfully excited.

I am very happy that I have managed to master it perfectly, without any significant obstacles.

"I'll name it frozen eyes - frozen eyes - hehe.. I slightly changed the magic element with the element I mastered, it's kereeennn I'm a genius child." I said with pride and a little pride.

"Hehehehe... hohohoho.. prepare slime lizard I will repay you, right be prepared. Just wait for my arrival you will die." I said with cruel words.
