The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 93: William's time at the academy (3)

A grand party was arranged for the sixteenth birthday of William Rutgurd.

He is now a fresher in the Royal Academy but was praised as the genius of the generation. Unless anything unexpected happens, he was one of the guaranteed to reach Tier-7. He has a good chance of reaching much higher ranks.

There was even chatter among the staff that his skill might reach level 50 or would be at the least next to it by the time he graduates. This was something that wasn't easy.

Many may have level 10 skills when they enter the academy but that doesn't mean that they can reach level 50 in five years. On average the students would be around level 20-25 when they graduate.

The best students would be at levels 40-45 by the time of graduation. This was the usual census. Even though the noble children would have trainers, their quality would not be the same as the teachers in the academy. These teachers would know the ins and outs.

They would know where exactly the student is going wrong and what he is doing right. This was not something that the family trainees could observe and teach them properly. So attending the academy is a must for the awakened.

Only here they can properly hone themselves.

Moreover, when the child was at home, there would be almost no motivation for the child to improve themselves but that wouldn't be the case at the academy.

There would be enough competition in the academy.

Some would concentrate more on training to be the best and some would want to show their value and some would want to take revenge on the students who bullied them.

Whatever the case might be, the students here would try their best to improve their skill levels and ranks. They wouldn't want to be treated as waste compared to others.

There are many pretty good motivators. Even with those motivators, it would not be easy to reach level 50 in a skill.

If the skill upgrade continues on the same path as it did till now, William is sure to reach level 50, and maybe one day he can reach the legendary level 100. This was the praise that the teachers at the academy all agreed on.

So to make sure that everyone heard about this, House Rutgurd invited many nobles to the party and the Siren family was one of them.

Lady Wellna had two reasons behind the party, one was to spread William's name and at the same time make a path for William to conquer Elisha. For that to happen, the Siren family has to appear or else she has to think another way.

Luckily for her, the Siren family indeed appeared and Elisha came along with her family too. This means that they can start from that moment. If the Siren family didn't make it to the party or if Elisha didn't appear, then it means that they have to make many changes to their plans.

After the Siren family appeared they went to meet the count, who is William's father. While those older people were busy, Elisha started to move away from them. For her, whatever they were talking about was boring.

"Hello, I am William Rutgurd", William introduced himself to Elisha, seeing that she was alone.

"Hello, I am Elisha Siren", she greeted back with a smile, "Happy Birthday".

"Thank you beautiful", he said flirting with her.

He knew that there wouldn't be too many opportunities for him if he didn't seize this moment. This night would be the foundation for what could happen later. If he couldn't impress her, it would be wasted but he wasn't afraid of that.

He is considered as good looking and he has strength, which makes him the most sought-after boy in the entire academy. It was not just the girls in his class or year who wanted to get with him but also girls from other years. This included some of the fifth-year seniors.

They were shameless in situations like this. It was not easy to find good seedlings and early birds would get the worm. To have a good life, it was best to make sure that these good seedlings would be yours, or else that means that your chances are gone.

Just as he thought, the conversation went perfectly and he was even able to exchange numbers. Though he showed interest in her, he didn't want to come as someone who was too into her. It may send bad signals and everything could collapse.

He knew where to stand and where to retreat.

That night after the party, William made a decision. He wanted to make Elisha truly his partner, not just act as his great-grandmother said.

To him, she was the most beautiful girl that he had laid his eyes on. He wanted to make her his. For that, he had to make some compromises from his geat-grandma.

William succeeded in persuading Lady Wellna to accept his condition. She promised he could do whatever he wanted to do as long as those two families suffered. Everything else can be done as he wishes.

Now he has mainly two goals to accomplish.

One, make Elisha fall for him and leave Magnus.

Two, cause as much damage to the Frostwolf and Siren families.

These two became his main goals in life. To make sure those two would be accomplished, he walked to the ends of the world, if that's what it would take to make those happen.

William started to speak to Elisha, every once in a while. He would tell her some sweet words and he could feel that they were working. The only problem that remained for him was the marriage contract. It was something that her father fixed.

Though it was a decision that her father took without her consent, she couldn't do anything about that, and neither could he.

He has other plans for that but first Elisha has to fall in love with him. To make sure that she would, he prepared a well-laid-out plan. All his hopes of making her great grandma's dreams depend on this plan.
