The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 158  My return to home and plans for next

Year two is officially done. I am the top-ranked as usual and the only benefit that it gives is the points that would be awarded to me as soon as Year Three starts.

With these points, I can get resources cheaper than I would be if I were outside. This is why completing the missions issued by the academy or by a third party through the academy is essential.

After the exam was done, I returned home.

When I returned I heard some good news. My father was able to eliminate some traitors from the family but the Elders still were the Elders. The third elder was pretty cautious. Even with the device that I got from the Cosmic Market, I could only read bits of information.

The evidence related to crimes was not uncovered. From what my father said, the elders seemed wisened up when the purging started.

They are not blind, nor are they stupid. They should have seen what was happening in the family and should have guessed that my father was able to obtain evidence regarding the crimes of many family members. Many of them were allies of these elders. They probably destroyed whatever evidence that existed.

Since using the clues that I provided my father failed to obtain any information regarding those assholes, those assholes are still alive but from what my father said, they were lying low.

With the recent elimination of traitors, my father's reputation in the family soared. Unless he does something drastic that could harm our family, there should be minimum to no opposition to him.

This is a great opportunity for him, and also for the one that comes next after him.

My elder sister Eritrea had decided that she wouldn't become the Viscount after my father, so it is most likely that my brother would be the next viscount but he has been away from the family, same as Eritrea.

I hope that idiot would not have any ideas about adventuring or something.

The chances of me becoming the Viscount have increased after my sister decided not and if the other three also decide not to inherit then the position would be placed on me, which I am not interested in.

Anyway, there was another good news that my family shared with me.

My father didn't say that when he met me in the office to tell me about the situation of family members.

At dinner, my mother was the one who shared the news.

My mother successfully reached Tier-7 and my father reached Tier-6.

They thought that it would take years when they reached the peak of their previous ranks but the promotion missions were easy. My mother got a family mission, to make my Sister's Wedding as best as possible.

Father's mission also fell into the same category but his was to eliminate as much filth as possible from the family.

Both of them completed and promoted in the last semester while I was away.

The missions they got were weird but they were better than many other missions that actually fall into the weird category.

I didn't think much about it. After having dinner, I returned to my room.

Now that year two is done, what to do for the next three years?

This is a big question in my mind but at present, I can only say what I could do for the next month, and that was practising the Breathing technique with all my strength. Skill level improvements can wait for some time. After year three starts, I will take some missions and leave the academy. While doing that I should also look for the secret realms.

I now severely lack resources and am in need of a lot of resources.

Father promised that since I provided a lot of evidence and was in a way the reason why the family was cleansed of all the filth, he would give some of the seized resources from those traitors.

Though when those would come to my pocket I have no idea. I hope that he can send them to me by next morning at the latest.

To improve my level fast, I need the resources that can improve my Dragon Blood Evolution skill. Even without its improvement, I can move the Rank level by a lot but with its improvement, the levels that I would gain would be higher in the same amount of time.

For the night, I should enter the secret realm that I have access to (the one that I entered in the first year). There should be first years who should have entered the secret realm by now, but I have no reason to cross paths with them.

My reason was to enter the core area and collect a few resources. Back then I didn't collect all the resources that were available in the core.

I will keep out of the Inner area, as there are high chances of some idiots being greedy and idiots, thinking that they can easily faze through the monsters in the secret realm.

If they see me, it would be problematic. I can't just kill people because they saw me in the secret realm. I am not that evil, but the fact that I entered the secret realm should be a secret no matter what.

If others come to know about this, then I would be under extreme scrutiny.

The resources that I could gather from the core of the secret realm may support me for a month or so. After that, I need a source of resources and that shouldn't cost me, as my pockets are almost empty.

Except for the space ring and some more accessories, I don't possess any items in my hand that would be considered worthwhile. These are some things that can't be brought easily and are considered as prestige.

Though I have no use of the space ring and could sell that away, it would hurt the family name. Space rings are for nobles and the rich. If they couldn't afford one then there would be no difference between them and the poor.

Though these ideas are not good ones, there is nothing one can do to eliminate such problems. When one is solved, another one will rise.

As I said before, I am not a saint. What I should and would concentrate on is me and my family. Others matter not to me.

The one month of holidays disappeared as if there were none at all from the start.

In this one month, I was able to improve by five levels in Tier-5. This was not just because of the Breathing Technique but also because of killing a lot of monsters in the core area.

At Tier-5, every level would give me +62,500,000,000 HP/MP and +6,250,000,000 INT.

HP=>5*3,125,000,000 = 15,625,000,000

MP=>5*3,125,000,000 = 15,625,000,000

INT=>5*312,500,000 = 1562,500,000

This is the total gains in attributes.

My bloodline's purity improved by 2% and the Dragon Blood Evolution skill improved by two levels. These caused a small improvement in STR and END.

Except for the mentioned changes, there were no improvements at all.

It doesn't matter. I should reach peak tier-5 as soon as possible. Other things can be done after reaching that and take the promotion mission, in the presence of others.

It would be weird if I couldn't complete a Tier-2 promotion mission for too long. After taking the Tier-6 promotion mission, I would turn around to improve my skill levels again.

Now it is time for me to return to the academy and start my third year.
