The story
The academy's biggest joke has the King of Dragons on his side.
Elias was born without a Dragon Mark, so the whole Royal Dragon Rider Academy treats him as a powerless nobody. What they don't know is that he once sent a Level 72 Demon King running, that dragons obey him with no bond at all, and that he's woken the King of Dragons himself, the ancient Alexstrasza. Now crooked nobles are fixing the trials against him. They picked the wrong person to cheat.
