"Ouch…" Erika muttered, her Wyvern Eye, which was an extension of one of the materials used for her new body seemed to have reacted way more than I expected from the potion.

FLASH!

Her eye began glowing with a red light, until it transformed from a small wyvern-shaped eye into a Dragon One. Erika's body began glowing, as scales made of wood and hard bark started to grow around her arms. Suddenly, wings made of branches, flowers, and leaves grew from her back, and even a long wooden tail, and branch-like horns similar to those of deer.

"Uwaah! W-What the…?! Huh?!" She muttered in surprise. "This is… weird."

"Oh?! Did you awakened a new power Erika?!" Asked Elizabeth.

"Amazing, maybe the dragon potion gave you dragon powers? I think I only got Dragon Skin as a Skill though…" Erdrich sighed.

"I got Dragon's Flames as a new type of Fire I can wield!" Chris said.

"I think my Holy Dragon Skills were strengthened." Said Elizabeth.

"Oh! I am fairly sure I acquired Dragon's Vitality." Said Eric.

"I-I have… Dragon's Eyes? Oh, it helps me inspect materials!" Alberta seemed happy.

"Frost Dragon's Aura." Elfriedden said, his aura suddenly growing as the shape of a large dragon emerged from within, but quickly disappeared.

It seemed that everyone acquired a Skill that was Dragon-themed, but that was also correlated with their own abilities and skills, or even their spirits, if they had any compatible ones.

"I got… Huh? Draconic Transformation…?" Erika asked in surprise.

"Interesting…" I nodded with a smile.

It seems that Erika not only ended awakening the Wyvern materials inherited powers, but they melded with her Dryad powers well enough to create a brand-new Skill, Draconic Transformation, which lets her turn half-dragon, but fusing the dragon powers with her nature abilities. Amazing. If she develops and levels up this skill enough, she might even gain the power to transform into a full Nature Dragon.

"Incredible, I did heard you were Half-Dryad, right, Erika?" Wondered Evelyn, she didn't knew the truth behind Erika's resurrection, this was something between us friends and her mother. Even Elfriedden and Alberta were unaware.

"Y-Yeah…" Erika said. "Maybe the dragon elixir boosted that lineage…" She was quite bad at lying.

"But isn't Lady Cattalina not half-dryad?" Evelyn tilted her head in confusion.

"Well, yeah, I am not. It is part of her father's family, of course. Her father… died long ago sadly, but he came from a family that sometimes were born as half-dryad." Cattalina was much more convincing with her lies than her daughter. "Erika didn't seem to show this power when she was born, but as she developed her magic and gained the Holy Spirit's blessings by undergoing challenges (leveling up basically), she unlocked her innate abilities, it seems."

"Amazing…! To be expected of Lady Cattalina's daughter! …Though I wish she could be a big brighter in terms of studies and written exams…" Said Evelyn.

"Ahahaha… Y-Yeah." Said Cattalina sighed, looking back at her daughter and talking with a low tone of voice. "We'll be intensifying your studies young lady."

"Ugh…" Sighed Erika. "Anyways, Blake you know this stuff, how do I turn this off?"

She ran to my side. Somehow, she looked even more cute and radiant in her half-dragon appearance. I even wanted to steal a kiss from her. I contained my impulses, which were a lot unlike me, most likely due to my developing teenager body, as I quickly helped her.

"Don't worry." I gave her a head pat. "Close your eyes and concentrate, calm down, and breathe slowly."

Erika nodded, doing as I asked her.

"Now… Think on going back to normal, slowly."

"Normal… back to normal…"

Erika slowly began losing her wings, tail, horns, and scales, finally turning back to her original appearance.

"Phew! T-That scared me more than it should had…" She sighed, looking at me with her shiny eyes. "Heheh, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, just… having you this close, I realize how pretty you are." I whispered to her.

"W-Wha…?!" Erika quickly got all flustered, growing as red as a tomato. "That was a sneaky compliment! But I'll take it, hehe." She quickly gave me a kiss in my cheek.

"Look at them…" Chris said. "Making out just in front of us…" He seemed slightly jealous, probably because he also wanted a girlfriend.

"Tone down the fluff for a bit." Erdrich said. Unlike Chris, he was mostly aromantic and had no interest in girls or anything that wasn't growing stronger.

"Uwah, so cute…" Elizabeth seemed to like our relationship more than I would had expected. "Can't wait for my turn though~" She whispered to me as she walked behind me.

"A-Anyways!" I quickly said. "Now that everyone awakened your power, you should get used to it. How about we do some sparring after breakfast? Oh right, we should also go outside and have some fun, for a change."

"Ohhh! Sounds good Blake!" Eric said. "Alberta do you want to go out… with me? I mean… with everyone?"

"S-Sure! L-Like a Date…" Alberta blushed. "I-I mean a date with many friends…!"

"Ahahah… R-Right." Eric giggled while scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

They were such a cute couple that they were giving me diabetes.

"Ugh… Lucky bastard…" Chris murmured to himself as he glanced at Eric.

Anyways, Evelyn and Cattalina seemed to be okay with taking the day off for now, we did a lot yesterday. This was the perfect time to have a nice time with all my friends and enjoy the day. Also I'll be monitoring their development after drinking these elixirs, which also work as growth boosters.

After having a quick breakfast where I feed Saphira with tons of sweets to make her happy, I ran back to my room and decided to drink all eight Dragon Blood Elixirs at once, unlike a normal person, I was more than prepared to take as many as I wanted.

Once the eighth Elixir was drank, I felt an enormous quantity of Dragon Power swelling inside of my body, I sat cross-legged and then slowly began guiding this power across every inch of my physique.

FLAAASH!
