The Tales of Draconic Warlock

I returned to the academy early in the morning. It was time for the second semester of the second year or the fourth semester in the entirety.

Next semester we would be allowed to go out on missions, so I believe that the training and the studies in this semester would be different.

Anyway, after returning to the academy, I checked the classes that we had. I thought that as Class 1-A, our class would be on the first day but it was not.

I checked other classes too but they too have blanks for today and tomorrow.

There was a combined class on the third day for all students of the second year. I didn't know classes were held like that here in this world, where hierarchy is an important part of the world.

Whatever, let's wait and see what that was about.

Since there was no class today and tomorrow, I went to meet up with Angela. It has been more than a month since our last contact. It's best to say that I returned to the academy and see if there are any more practice sessions with her.

Speaking of her, I should make her mine before the end of this semester or else I have to say goodbye trying to make her mine.

From next year, the chances of meeting her would thin and that means the probability of her falling for me would be reduced.

---

The training remained unchanged. Now due to the combined class, the personal training would be held on the fifth day of the week.

Everything was fine but I felt a lingering look on my back when I was leaving. I am sure that it was Angela but I didn't understand what the lingering look meant.

Normally it means that I like you dumbass, why can't you see that?

I should think that was the case but I didn't see any signs of her falling for me in the past year and a half. If she did, then either she was very good at concealing the facts or it was a recent change.

I am her student, so she might have concealed her feelings but if the feelings are recent, I have no idea why that is.

Though I felt her look on my back, I didn't turn around and left. I am sure a Tier-2 can't pick up the gaze and according to public knowledge, I didn't complete the Tier-2 promotion mission.

After speaking with Angela, I returned to my quarters. It remained the same for me as it was in the previous semester.

Since I have today and tomorrow all to myself, I decided to enter Nexus and train as I used to.

First, let's see what my status panel looks like and decide what to concentrate on.

There are not many changes in the status panel. Only in the last week did I train a bit more but not by much when compared to how I train at the academy.

At first, Inari would leave me at the end of the holidays. So I decided to invest my time on her. So the training time and intensity reduced.

Moreover, I wanted to spend as much time as I could with my mother. After graduation from the academy, the chances of holidays are slim. So returning home would be very rare.

These holidays that I have now and after the second year, would most likely be the longest that I would be with them. Unless I decide to settle down in Winter City as some guard or maybe a businessman, I would probably see my family less and less.

Hmm, maybe settling down as a businessman might not be a bad idea.

I have access to Cosmic Market where items that are not available here in this world can be obtained. Moreover, there is an entire secret realm (partially), where I can get a lot of resources.

In Nexus there are nine inactive portals, which could lead to other secret realms.

If they were unoccupied, I can make them mine. It would give me access to a lot of resources, which I can sell and earn money faster than anyone.

Thinking hard, I think maybe settling down as a businessman might be a good thing.

I want a comfortable life and as a fifth child, I wouldn't inherit anything from the family unless I work for the family. Though it is now filled with a lot of assholes, I believe that they would be cleared in a few years. I could work but being in the family means that I can't be independent.

Unless I become an ancestor, every move of mine would be under watch and restricted.

I found a few filth hiding in the family and it would be removed but that doesn't mean more filth wouldn't appear again. Family is a complex thing. You can't be with them or get rid of them.

It's best to be near them but not away from them. It's the best way.

Anyway, coming back to my status panel.

Since I already achieved level 20 in a few of my skills, I should improve the skills that I have been neglecting or couldn't improve because of the conditions.

One of them was Dragon Blood Evolution. I didn't use that because I feared what would entail by trying the skill.

I read many novels where certain abilities would leave one vulnerable during the process or after the fact. Neither is good. So it can't be done in the wild or in locations where safety is not guaranteed.

Safety means there are many people around.

Unlike the summoning rituals which took a few minutes, evolution may take a long time and there might be a chance that I could faint due to exhaustion.

It would be bad if anyone found me in such a condition. I would never have a good explanation for such a thing.

So I had to postpone it but now I have a chance to do it without attracting anyone's attention or putting myself in danger.

Nexus is my own personal space, where I can use this skill without getting harmed.

Using this skill would help my dragon bloodline, which looked almost useless with all that was going on. Unless it improves, I can't say that it was because of my bloodline.

Sure, due to my bloodline, some of the attributes are far higher than what others would have but now that improvement has become obsolete. Only by increasing it further, can I say that I have a dragon bloodline or it's best not to say at all.

In addition to Dragon Blood Evolution, I need to increase my Mind Defence skill and Mind Resistance. These are the ones that are utterly low and completely neglected.

There are also a few that are very low like the Poision and Light Resistances. Tahg a& Track and Scent Recognition skills needed improvement as well.

So before the end of this semester, I need to improve these skills and also maybe try to reach as close as I can to peak Tier-5.

Taking a promotion mission or completing it, only the person involved would know as it follows the same procedure.

So by taking the promotion mission for Tier-6, would the people believe that I completed the Tier-2 promotion and had reached Tier-2. It would be embarrassing if a student who entered the secret realm had not reached Tier-2 before year three, not just to me but also to my family as well.
