Issei Hyoudou blinked to himself as he felt the familiar weight of his priestess on him. Elysia Shariac, a dragon priestess, slept heartily on top of him, using him as a bolster. It was not the first time they slept on the same bed. 

Feeling the warm rays of the graceful sun, the young man slipped out of the blanket before tucking her back in. Numerous scars littered his back, showing the results of countless battles. 

"Morning," Turning to his priestess, the Dragonlord revealed a scar on his chest. 

"Hey, did I wake you?" 

Shaking her head in reply, the dragon priestess sat up, stretching to release the tension on her sore muscles, revealing soft creamy skin with a bite mark on her shoulder. 

"I was already awake for a while now," She said with a smile, "What do we have in store for today?" 

"I have to Soul weave a dress later, thankfully, I managed to summon Aegis," Issei replied, looking at her. "Then I have to help train Saji on how to use his dragon powers, I already got paid by Sera,"

"Saji,  huh? He has a darkness-aligned dragon in his soul," 

Shivers fell on their spines as they remembered that fateful day, when a black dragon made of darkness swallowed the sun, blotting out the light. 

The feeling of the cold darkness embracing him, mocking him, as he rode his partner while Elysia sat with him, healing his injuries. 

"Saji's like you, you know," The priestess said with a smile, "A bit perverted to Sona, but he has an iron will," Approaching her dragonlord, the priestess wrapped her arms around him. "Just as how you raised Draco to be a good boy despite his nature, I'm sure he can overcome his dragon's 'malice'," 

Eagerly returning the embrace, the Dragonlord swept his priestess off her feet in one motion and smiled at her. 

"Well, we do have school today," The Dragonlord said as he carried her to the bathroom. 

"Ise!"

The Duo of a dragonlord and Dragon priestess arrived at the academy simultaneously with a difference. Elysia wore the oversized blazer that belonged to Issei while he wore the standard uniform except for the blazer. Soft laughter escaped from the two as Elysia showed him her phone. 

Arriving at their classroom, the duo found their friends, Asia, Bianka, and Rita. 

"Yo, Hyoudou," Aika Kiryuu said with a smile. The moment she arrived, both Elysia and Issei looked at each other. It was sealed inside her, similar to Saji but a dragon was in her. A small blush quickly turned her face into a tomato as she looked back and forth between Issei and Elysia. 

"Aika, can you close your eyes for a bit and take a deep breath?" Elysia asked, stopping her friend from saying anything.

Confused, the brunette did as she was told.

At the same time, Issei's eyes focused and saw the girl... No, through the girl. He saw her soul and saw an orb in her arm.

Elysia, meanwhile, weaved a charm under her breath, a spell taught to her on how to detect people, modified to find dragons.

Both felt it. A sleeping dragon in her soul. Looking at each other, the lord and priestess turned towards Aika. 

For her part, the perverted young woman swallowed a lump in her throat. A silhouette of an angel appeared behind Elysia while a mountain overshadowed Issei. Despite that, similar glints filled their eyes.
