The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 88: Dorian's time at the academy (3)

Dorian's old target became his new target. Magnus Frostwolf, the top ranker of the first year. source-at-MVLeMpYr

First, he was humiliated and now the same person who humiliated him took the top position in the entrance exam. This was the position he was after. Only when he was in this position would anyone respect him and follow without saying a word.

Now though, that chance was gone. Though there are many students between them, Dorian still turns all his anger towards Magnus.

It multiplied after the first week at the academy.

On the first day itself, Dorian lusted after the class teacher. He vowed in his mind that he would her his. He made many plans for that to happen, but they all came crumbling down in the next few days when he learned some information.

The class teacher Angela Blazewood, started to give Magnus some private lessons. When he heard about this matter, he was enraged. He wanted to beat the shit out of him but he also knew that he was not strong enough to do so.

So he had to come up with a plan and make Magnus do something bad in front of the teacher. In this way, he can break Magnus away from the teacher.

After weeks of research, he came up with a perfect plan.

Angela has a schedule and she sticks to it almost perfectly. He found a time where and when she would be. So he planned a perfect time to make Magnus a bad seed in the mind of the teacher but it failed.

He tried to provoke Magnus, which should make Magnus hit him. Dorian planned it perfectly so that it would happen in front of Angela but things didn't go as he planned them to.

Magnus didn't pay any attention to him at all. He also had a small smile on his face, as if saying that he knew what he was trying to do.

"He must have seen through my plans, even if he didn't know anything", Dorian thought.

Magnus was after all a child of a noble. He should seen such schemes since he was a child and his scheme was so simple that it definitely wouldn't have missed the eyes of Magnus. If he had fallen, then he wouldn't deserve the top rank of the first year.

Since his schemes wouldn't work, he decided to approach the problem directly. He would confront him in a duel and defeat him sooner or later.

There were monthly class examinations. By this time, they had all gone through a monthly exam and they all knew the ins and outs. The students of 1-A, including Dorian came to know how powerful Magnus was. There is no conventional way to defeat him.

Though Dorian knew that defeating Magnus in a short time was not possible, he was reluctant to let go.

He may become more powerful than Magnus in the future but what good does it do? Everyone may praise him, but there is no way that he would have the followers that he wanted.

The commoners would most likely have chosen a house to serve.

This is the most common way for the commoners to survive and grow in this turbulent world. There is no way for them to venture into the deep woods at this stage to gain resources for their growth.

One may think that they can grow just by hunting but they were wrong. It may help them reach higher ranks but that was common for every awakened. These resources would help them how high they can reach and how fast they can reach such heights.

There are two ways to gain access to such resources. One is to hunt and find those resources by themselves or buy them from the market. These two are impossible to do. So a third way was found, that is to find a rich thigh and hug it.

This is the only way that the poor kids can grow.
