The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Early in the morning I woke up and refreshed myself before I went to eat breakfast. The meals can be ordered from the canteen and they are delivered to the residence that you are living at.

The delivery agents were all the students. They can earn points in this way. This may be one of the safest ways to earn points but the pay is low and also the canteen wouldn't hire too many. There is a requirement that needs to be fulfilled. The AGI status should be high enough in order to gain this job.

Even though the pay is low and there are many requirements, there is too much competition for this job. It is the same for all other jobs that can pay you for working in a safe environment.

Only by going through dungeons can one make a lot of points. The items that they received in the dungeon can be used to get points from the academy. These items are mostly herbs, monster parts, and other raw materials that were used by other professionals to create equipment, potions, etc...

So going to the dungeon is the best way for me to earn a lot of points. Of course, since the dungeon monsters are weak, they wouldn't yield much EXP for me to reach the next Tier easily. I have to go through thousands of such dungeons to reach peak Teir-4.

It was just a waste of time to do so but these dungeons are useful for me in another way.

After having breakfast, I split a clone, who would show my "status" according to the academy. I even added the Mind Control skill, so that it can be increased while in the dungeon.

After all skills like that needed to be practised on others. This place is full of awakners and they wouldn't probably be affected by the skill. They may even be alerted about me. So I can only use it on monsters in the dungeons.

While my clone would go to the dungeon, I would train in my personal training center.

This way I can use the best of resources and not be found by others.

"Oh, come back by noon, and don't do anything else other than go to the dungeon", I informed the clone.

It was not a good idea to leave the clone alone for too much time when there were people around, especially people who had chance of finding that there was something wrong with the clone. So it was best if the clone kept interactions to a minimum.

I can go to the dungeon and could have split inside but that would be just a waste of time. The entry dungeons that are available for me are of low level, which can be easily cleared even by my clone. So I had to wait for the clone to clean the dungeon. It is a waste of time.

If I use multiple clones, then the dungeon would be cleared but that would also raise suspicions about me. I already created enough suspicions as it is. I have made everyone believe that I am strong but not freakishly strong.

It was only till I reached Tier-7, which I assume I can reach by the time I leave the academy.

Once I reach that stage, there would be very few that can threaten me at that point. Even if they come to know some of my secrets, I would be strong not just in rank but also in skill levels, which can level the playing field.

No need to hide from that point on.

All I needed to do was to make sure that I made the optimum use of the academy resources and propel myself faster. If I can reach Tier-7 before the stipulated time, it would be best but my calculations say that it would be at least by the end of the academy if there were no problems while completing the promotion missions.

My clone went to grind the dungeons, while I started to practice my Staff.

There are no live puppets here, just a static one. Those would cost a lot and though the academy is rich, they wouldn't install those puppets in a first-year's residence. If you want to practice, you can go to the closed-door training center that the teacher took us to yesterday.

The live puppets were available only in there. There are also some personal rooms inside, where you can use those puppets and keep your data confidential. I can use them when I have enough points.

There are gravity rooms too but I suppose I should avoid them for now. As a spellcaster, there is no need for someone like me to use those rooms. Those are for the Physical fighting professionals like swordsmen, knights, etc...

If you have hybrid classes, you can use them but for a spellcaster, it would be hell. So no one would use them.

Arrrghhh!!!

It looks like there are too many conditions. For now, I should concentrate on certain aspects that correspond to my profession. I can always use some other ways to improve my other strengths and the gaps in my power one by one.

There is no rush. I have yet to cross fifteen. There is a lot of time for me to slowly improve.

Let's concentrate on what I can improve now and let my future self think about what to do in the future.

Angela Blazebood is a top-tier beauty that everyone was trying to get into her good graces. It was not because of her beauty but also her strength. It was not just because of her rank that everyone was afraid of her. It was because of who her grandfather was.

Tobias Blazewood is a Tier-8 fire mage. After reaching Tier-8, he became an honorary member of the royal court which made it possible to extend their family's strength to a new height. Tobias was usually reclusive doing his own things and wouldn't bother with much, which made him have fewer enemies.

There was also another reason why he had fewer enemies. When he was angered, he would wipe his enemies clean.

Such a fierce man has a soft spot for his granddaughter Angela. He pampered her from the beginning and if something bad happens to her, they have to pray that they die quickly.

What they didn't know was that a young man was trying to pierce that granddaughter's heart. If they knew about that, they would pity his soul.
