RuriDragon Chapter 7 recap

Picking up the events from the previous chapter, RuriDragon Chapter 7 begins with Ruri realizing that she has awakened her third dragon ability, electro-static discharge. The classmates notice sparks emitting from their dragon friend, which causes a commotion.

However, the electro-static discharge suddenly stops, and Ruri has no idea how it happened. Soon after the incident, Ruri's homeroom teacher advises her to visit the nurse's office as a precautionary measure.

Later, she discusses the incident with Yuka, who tells Ruri to contact her mother. Following the advice of her childhood friend, Ruri calls her and explains the incident. However, she only gave vague answers but promised to fill in the details once she returned home.

During the class break, Ruri realizes that her life as a half-dragon is becoming difficult, with one trouble after another. However, she feels assured knowing that her "dragon traits" don't concern Yuka.

At that moment, Kashiro arrives and tells them it's almost time for the class. After the class, Ruri's homeroom teacher asks her if he can put her on cleanup duty since one of the assigned helpers for the day is absent.

When Ruri asks why she's chosen, the teacher reveals that it's because she came into his view first. Soon after that, she notices that her partner for the cleanup duty is none other than Maeda, the girl who earlier ignored her.

Interestingly, when Ruri tries to strike up a conversation, Maeda tells her not to talk to her. The girl's behavior shocks the dragon girl, who ponders about it even on the bus. After she returns home, Ruri asks her mother about her third dragon trait. The chapter ends with the revelation that dragons can call lightning.

The latest issue has nicely set up RuriDragon chapter 8 with the revelation that dragons can call lightning. As such, the chapter may show Ruri's mother explaining how the lightning works to her daughter.

Additionally, Ruri has another problem with Maeda, who dislikes her. Therefore, RuriDragon chapter 8 may see the dragon girl revealing to Yuka and Kashiro what happened between her and Maeda during the cleanup duty.
