(3rd POV)
- The Next Day -
"So this is your dragon form? Neat," Uta said, inspecting Cain's draconic appearance.
"It's one of them, yes."
Uta raised an eyebrow. "There's more?"
"Yeah, this one is the first and most basic version." The older man then shifted into his second dragon form. "This one has superior speed and damage but sacrifices my strength and durability." He then transitioned into his third form. "This form turns me into a transformer," he joked. "It increases my strength, durability, speed, attack power, vision, and hearing tenfold. Plus, it allows me to transform any part of my body into a weapon and grants me limited light manipulation along with the ability to fly." He then jumped back six meters to shift into his fourth form.
Uta's eyes widened in shock. "Holy shit! You're huge!"
"You want to know what's even more insane?" Despite speaking at a conversational volume, his voice shook the ground beneath them.
"What?"
"I can combine forms!" Cain demonstrated by transforming his fourth form's body into gleaming metal, while massive wings of solidified light manifested behind him. "Pretty badass, huh?"
"Yeah, it is," Uta nodded, her mind racing with the possibilities of Cain's fusion ability.
Right now, Cain had only four forms, which limited his combinations.
'However, if he were to obtain even more forms...' The singer inwardly shuddered at the thought.
Cain was already powerful with Voidification and his four dragon forms. But a fusion element into the mix? That was dangerous.
The only downside of the fusion ability was that to gain a new form, Kyoka would have to lend Cain to others. Fortunately, Kyoka didn't seem to mind temporarily relinquishing "control" of Cain.
Uta's lips curled into a smile that would both terrify and arouse men and women alike as a single, horrifying question crossed her mind: What kind of form would Cain obtain if Kyoka lent him to her?
She imagined something truly terrifying and absurdly overpowered, perhaps a version of her abilities. Just the thought of him wielding her powers for some unknown reason made her wetter than the damn ocean and hotter than the very core of the sun.
Seeing his unofficial wife's smile, Cain narrowed his eyes, knowing it meant trouble. However, before he could question her about it, both he and Uta sensed someone flying toward them at incredible speeds.
The singer narrowed her eyes, unsure of who was approaching them. But Cain recognized her and reverted to his human form.
"Wasn't expecting to see her so soon."
Uta looked at him. "You know her?"
"Yeah, she's the commander of Japan's ADC division."
The woman in question landed a few feet away from Cain and smiled warmly at him.
"I see you're experimenting with your dragon form," she said, closing the distance between them until she was just inches away, looking deep into his striking red eyes. "It was quite an interesting sight to behold."
Cain raised an eyebrow, amused. "I'm glad you think so. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I just need to ask Uzen-san a few questions, that's all," she replied with an enigmatic smile. "You wouldn't mind taking me to her, would you?"
"Not at
Ren then noticed Uta, her eyes widening in surprise. "Uta Figarland? What are you doing here?" she asked, sounding both confused and curious.
"Oh, you know, just hanging out with my husband," Uta replied casually, as if discussing the weather.
It took a moment for Ren to process Uta's words, and when it hit her, it felt like a sledgehammer.
"Huh?" For once in her life, Ren was at a complete loss for words.

After clarifying that they were married, albeit unofficially, and answering a few questions, Cain led Ren to Kyoka, who was understandably surprised to see the commander. He then left the two women to chat and made his way back to Uta.
A few minutes later, Ren took off into the sky, and shortly after that, Kyoka joined Cain and Uta outside.
"What did she want?" Cain asked.
"She asked if she could borrow you," Kyoka replied, surprising both Cain and Uta.
Cain raised an eyebrow. "She wanted to borrow me?"
"Yeah, I was curious to see what kind of form you'd take if she were in control."
"I'm assuming you said no."
"Along those lines...she wasn't exactly pleased," Kyoka said with a slight grimace.
The silver-haired beauty didn't explicitly tell Ren that she couldn't borrow Cain. She made up the excuse that he needed to focus on mastering his current forms before taking on any new ones.
It wasn't entirely a lie, as Cain believed that the forms could evolve. However, that was merely a theory for now.
Surprisingly, Ren accepted her reasoning and didn't push the issue further.
For now, that is.
"I'd imagine so. She doesn't seem like the type who gets told no often." Cain shrugged indifferently.
"You're not wrong about that," Kyoka muttered. "By the way, since when could you fuse forms?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at him and crossing her arms beneath her bust.
"For a while now."
Kyoka narrowed her eyes further. "And you didn't tell me this development because...?"
"I wanted to surprise you."
"Well, consider me surprised," she said, her expression softening a bit. "Are there any limitations to this new ability?"
"Not that I'm aware of. Perhaps when I gain more forms, I might be limited in how many I can fuse or what I can mix and match, but that's just a theory for now." Cain smiled. "I guess the only way to confirm it is for you to lend me to the others."
Kyoka scoffed and rolled her eyes. "You just want to fuck more women."
"You're not wrong," Cain admitted, not bothering to deny it. "However, I am genuinely curious about what kind of forms I'd obtain." He looked at Uta, his smile widening. "Hey Kyoka, lend me to Uta..."

As expected, the form Cain obtained after Uta became his temporary "master" was absurdly powerful, terrifying, and surprisingly beautiful.
Cain's new dragon form stood an impressive twenty-four meters tall and measured seventy-two meters in length. Its body was primarily scarlet, with striking snow-white accents, and its eyes shone a bright, vivid purple. Its scales were thick and smooth, resembling polished stone with a subtle gleam.
The dragon's face was long and slender, adorned with two six-inch curved horns atop its head. Its neck was equally long yet slightly thicker, providing a sturdy build that could withstand significant punishment while still allowing for graceful movements. Its arms and legs were long and powerful, equipped with razor-sharp claws.
The tail, which comprised most of the dragon's impressive length, was thick and functioned much like an elephant's trunk, enabling Cain to grasp small objects carefully without damaging them in the process.
The most distinguishing features of this dragon form were the golden halo floating above its head and the pair of forty-eight snow-white angelic wings extending from its back.
Of all the dragon forms Cain possessed, this one was undoubtedly the most beautiful and graceful. More importantly, it boasted the most powerful abilities at his disposal.
In this form, Cain could manipulate matter and energy, alter the shape of virtually anything, and transform it into something entirely different. The potential applications of these powers were nearly endless, allowing him to create, destroy, and modify anything he desired.
However, there were severe downsides that made this form impractical for combat situations.
The primary drawback was that Cain could only maintain this form for two minutes before reverting, as it consumed an astronomical amount of stamina from both him and Kyoka. Using any of the form's abilities drained her energy even faster.
Additionally, Cain's ability to create, destroy, and alter could only be activated through physical contact, limiting his options somewhat. Fortunately, his speed compensated for this limitation.
"Well, we should probably call it a day," Uta said, letting out a cute yawn. "I'm tired as shit."
"You didn't even do anything," Cain pointed out, looking at her with a deadpan expression.
Uta shot him an indignant look, her eyes narrowing. "That's not true! I fucked your brains out this morning!" she declared without an ounce of shame.
"You mean I fucked your brains out," he corrected, sounding amused. "You were too busy screaming your lungs out to do anything."
Uta blushed bright red in embarrassment. "N-No, I—fuck you! I'm going to bed!"
Cain chuckled and shook his head. "She's forty years old yet still acts like a teenager sometimes."
Kyoka laughed. "It's certainly an odd sight." She looked at Cain and smiled.
Then, to his surprise, she leaned in and kissed him on the lips, surprising him. "Not that I'm complaining, but what was that for?"
"I wanted to," Kyoka shrugged, her smile growing brighter. "Got a problem with that?"
"Not at all," he sighed. "Well, we'd better head back inside before she loses her shit."
As the two walked back to the dorm, Kyoka shyly spoke up. "You know... we still haven't gone on our first date yet."
Cain considered her statement; they indeed hadn't gone on a proper date, nor had he gone on one with the others.
"You're right. We should definitely fix that. How about Friday?"
Kyoka's face lit up with joy. "I'd love that."
End.
