The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 97: The conspiracy against Magnus

A young boy wearing a blue scarf can be seen enjoying his tea leisurely. He was alone at the table, which had two chairs but at the moment he was seated on one of them.

After a few minutes, another young boy appeared before the boy in a blue scarf.

The newcomer had a frown on his face, but he still spoke, "Are you the one that sent me the message?"

The boy placed the teacup down and said with a smile, "Yes, I am and as I said I can help you. First, please take a seat. We can discuss it properly".

The newcomer was suspicious of the boy but there was nothing he could do. He wanted to know how this one found out about that and what he wanted to do. There was no way one would help someone in that way, without expecting something back.

Yet he took the seat. He could do nothing about the matter.

"How do you know?" he asked.

The boy in blue smiled, "Direct, are we? Let's start with introductions. We can see what will happen later".

"My name is William Rutgurd, heir of the Rutgurd house", he introduced himself.

"My name is Dorian Halter, a commoner", the newcomer introduced himself.

"I know that", William said, "I know that you are wondering why I sent that message".

"Yes".

"It would take some time. I hope you have nothing to do for now. It started like this..."

William started to narrate the story of Magnus and Elisha and how they were tied together. He told Dorian about the Frostwolf family and the Siren family and how the Frostwolf family head helped the Siren family when they faced a crisis.

In exchange for the help, the Siren family had made a marriage contract for their children. Elisha from the Siren family and Magnus from the Frostwolf family.

He then continued to tell about how he met Elisha at his birthday party. He skipped the revenge part though. There is no way that he would spill such details to outsiders. It would be like strangling oneself.

He described the first meeting as love at first sight and even Elisha fell in love with him but there was the marriage contract and with that, she can't marry anyone else.

William said to Elisha that he would take care of the problem and so he approached Magnus to dissolve the contract and he was ready to pay compensation but he was rejected.

William said that Magnus demanded an outrageous compensation that could bankrupt a viscount family. Even though he was in love with Elisha, he couldn't pay that much amount.

The only way that remained was to get rid of him. There was no other way around.

Hearing the story Dorian was furious. He wanted to beat Magnus but with the system's intervention, he calmed down.

He can't believe this is real just because this person hates whom he hates.

Though he didn't believe it, for now, their goals were the same. So he decided to join hands in order to deal with Magnus.

---

The first attempt failed.

After having the meeting, William privately trained Dorian so that he would be able to deal with Magnus by himself. With the help of the system and William, he was able to surpass most of the students in the class. At least that was what he thought so.

He was proven that he was wrong about that.

Most of his class, that is class 1-A, aren't someone like him who lack resources and aren't diligent in improving themselves. They are in 1-A because all noble or rich children they are the best. Moreover, many of the parents have huge resources that support them even if they can't get anything in the academy.

It would be not easy to overcome them, just because he has a system or has private lessons from a senior student.

Many of them were taught by professionals for years and that wasn't easy to overcome just because he had a sparring partner for a few months.

The kills that he was able to acquire were a bit decent but he lost to Magnus in a colossal way.

He tried and tried but couldn't even land a single strike but Magnus was able to eradicate him in just two strikes. Magnus only cast the skills twice and was able to hit him both times ending the match with them.

This caused him to earn the least number of points in the duels. Those points that he gained were because there are a few staff members who are partial to commoners, rather than noble children.

They would mark less for noble children while promoting commoner children.

Of course, there are a few staff that do the same in reverse. It may look like they are canceling each other out but that's never the case. These kinds of operations only increased the differences between the two groups more and more.

It was because of that he stayed at his original rank. If not for that, he would have fallen to the bottom of the class. He got lucky.

Since the first attempt failed, they decided to act once again in the secret realm. From what was known, this secret realm was yet to be explored fully. No one above Tier-5 would be allowed to enter, and as there are a limited number allowed each year, there would be quotas.

As long as he can meet the quota requirement, he can enter the realm. There is no way that Magnus would miss this. He would surely take a spot. As long as both enter the realm, Dorian can make sure that Magnus won't return from the realm.

William wanted to continue training him and asked him to follow in the holidays.

Dorian agreed to this because, even if he wouldn't face Magnus inside the realm, this would be a great opportunity for him and that would be enough to crush Magnus even after they leave the realm. It's a win-win for him. There is no need for objecting such a chance.

He could get a lot of resources by himself but his system has no resources that can help him improve his skill levels. He needs the help of someone that can help him improve those.

Of course, even with that, it wouldn't be easy as he has too many skills but all of them at a very low level. Only one skill has reached level 10. This can be considered as the class worst. He needed to overcome this problem or he would be left behind by others.

So he decided to follow William for the holidays.
