The Medallion

Rocky collected his thoughts on his way back to the quarters. He was sure that the healing properties of Uriah's saliva came from the mysterious liquid coming from the bump in its mouth. What was magical about the liquid was that it helped expedite metabolism and regeneration. Cells, organs, and blood could be reformed or refreshed by the liquid, so when Uriah licked Rocky's wounds, its saliva alleviated his pain and cured the lesion like magic.

"That liquid is definitely worth taking an extensive look at," Rocky marveled.

As he rushed back to his room, Rocky saw that the other young men were heading for the dragon field for training. So as soon as he put Uriah in the room, he shut the door and ran to the dragon field as fast as he could. By the time he arrived, they had already started the physical fitness training under Mia's strict instruction. Following her orders, each of them lifted a huge stone up and down simultaneously.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Rocky said to Mia.

Mia turned to glare at him, her brows knitting together, while the others grew excited to see that Rocky was going to be punished again.

"Run twenty laps around the dragon field! Don't cheat or play any trick! A deputy instructor will look at you. Don't forget the lesson you learned yesterday!" Mia yelled with a poker face, and she then ordered a deputy instructor to supervise Rocky.

Rocky nodded and began running around the dragon field. After the new change that took place in his body, he felt it easy to finish the twenty laps and wasn't tired at all. After he finished, he joined the others and began the physical fitness training.

Most of them were out of breath after the whole morning, but Rocky was still full of vigor despite the intense training.

"Did he take some special medicine or something? Why doesn't he feel tired at all?" someone questioned.

"That's so weird! He was as weak as a kitten yesterday, but now..." said another one, gasping for air.

"He must have cheated!"

They shot Rocky suspicious scowls and murmured among themselves. They were all clearly perplexed at Rocky's new demeanor. Rocky soon realized he was being scrutinized. In order to clear the air, he pretended to collapse with exhaustion in the afternoon training.
