The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 101: Start of my Second Half of First-year (1)

Hmm, no new students. Everyone who was in the class from the previous semester retained their positions in the class. It was not like those novels where MC would suddenly rise from the lowest of the classes to the top class after a single semester or a year.

It would be not that easy to do so. It may be possible in the other four academies but here at Royal Academy, everyone was talented and had access to various resources. There are very few commoners here when compared to the other four academies.

Most of the students are either of noble origin or their parents are rich, which means that they had access to various resources from a young age. That advantage won't disappear just in such a small time difference. Unless someone gets their hands on some legendary and mythical items, that won't be possible.

Even then it's difficult because those legendary and mythical items would be very powerful and are not easy to use. Those items if consumed by weak people, wouldn't be able to withstand such power and could die. This is why it was advised not to use those category items.

In the novel maybe the MC would gain such an item and would immediately become strongest but that wasn't viable for humans.

Even when I directly reached Tier-3 from Tier-0, I collapsed for a few hours. That was because my mind and body couldn't stand against such a great shift in me.

In comparison to many legendary and mythical resources that can improve one's strength, what I gained can be considered a drop in the ocean. Moreover, I remembered my last life. So I believe my mind was far stronger than an average person's.

If what I obtained was obtained by others, they could have stayed unconscious for days. Even after I woke up, I didn't go out to hunt, because I wasn't used to such changes at that point. I could only send clones out to train at that time.

Now though, I can hold on to huge changes such as those but even then, I have my own limits at this point. As I progress, that limit would increase too making it easier for huge shifts in body.

Without reaching the necessary conditions, I don't think that it is good to consume such resources. They could faint or die. Fainting means that they would be vulnerable to attacks and if this happens out of the city, there is a high chance of dying.

Truth be told, I was lucky that day that no monster came by for a visit. It was probably because of the demon's lingering aura after it was killed by me. If any monster had dared to enter that hidden hole, then I would have become its food.

Thinking about it still sends shivers in my back.

That forest was not my home and being vulnerable there was a death warrant. So no matter how strong I was and no matter how useful a resource was, consuming there would be very dangerous.

You may think that fainting at home is not dangerous and nothing might happen but that is also not true, not always. Unless you have a trusted guard, losing consciousness is not ideal for survival.

This was only for someone who has guards and can protect them. Commoners wouldn't. So even bringing such a resource back home after finding it in the forest is not easy.

Resources emit smell or energy fluctuations to which monsters are sensitive and they would track them even when it is not visible. Unless stored in space storages, they can be easily identified.

It was not just monsters but bandits and many other greedy people would be jealous of other's prosperity and would try to snatch what they have.

So the best for the commoner-born awakeners was that they had to take time to grow in a proper step-by-step manner. Trying to cross steps would lead to deaths in many cases.

Knowing one's limit is the first step for survival. Without knowing your limit and crossing it would lead you to premature death. This is why I didn't show off too much.

I ranked first because they decide the resource allocations but showing too much talent without strength would become your doom.

I am not talking about my family or my parent's strength. I am talking about my personal strength. Without that, even if you are the prince of an empire, you would always be in danger.

There are a few fellas who seem to have increased very well during the holidays but most didn't. It may appear that they were slacking but for a person, rest is necessary as is work.

When it is time to work, they should and when it is time to rest, they should.

Most of my classmates are showing fluctuations similar to a month ago.

Hmm, Dorian...he feels different than before. He seems strong, much stronger than when we fought each other. Did he stumble onto something good or did his system give him that?

Whatever the reason might be, I don't think that he would let go of me. He would definitely try to attack me in one way or another to avenge himself. I should not lack in my training and should be prepared for such circumstances.

I didn't see how she appeared on the platform but Angela appeared in front of the class so fast that I didn't even feel her appearing until my eyes saw her.

Everyone seemed oblivious to her arrival. She watched everyone for a second before showing why she was our teacher.

"Hmm, one month of rest and it looks like many of you have gone back to enjoying the luxuries. I think I should shape you back into warriors, not some entitled brats that want to spend time wasting on unnecessary things", she roared.

Oh man, it looks like she is pretty much pissed at us. Haha, this semester should be fun.
