The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 67: My training in the academy (2)

Oh, she knows how to fight hand-to-hand. I can use this as an excuse for her to me a lot. Not only can I fill a gap in my strength, but at the same time, I can increase my interactions with her, which can lead her to my bed.

Before I could ask her, she poured a drum of cold water on my head and my little brother.

"Magnus, I know what you want to ask me. Learning more skills may appear as a good thing but in fact, it is not. Too many skills would leave you being a mediocre person", she said.

Oh, Angela, what you said is true but that doesn't apply to me. The problem is that I can't just say that to her. So I need to pull up something or else the chances of getting her would reduce even further.

"Professor, it's not like I am trying to learn everything but I am trying to cover my weakness. I am a spellcaster and that means, if someone closes the distance between us, they can end me. So what I need is how to survive in close combat", I said.

"Don't let anyone get close to you?" she said.

"Hahaha", laughed lightly before speaking again, "Professor, that was a ridiculous thing to say".

"Why?" she raised her eyebrows to know the reason why I was contradicting her.

"I am a human and though I don't mingle much, it was not as if I would like to bury myself in a room forever. There would always be people whom I have to get close to", I said with a smirk on my face.

Her eyes changed, "Even though to learn everything to fight close combat professionals, you can't succeed in defeating them and also wipe that smirk off your face".

"Mrs. Blazewood, you misunderstood me. What I said was to survive not to defeat my opponent", I corrected her, without smirking this time.

She smiled and nodded, satisfied with my answer.

"Okay, I need to prepare before we start. I'll inform you about that later. We shall see when we can allocate time to teach you hand combat arts", she said and left after that.

What might that be?

Wait a minute.

In those web novels, the protagonist would get the favor of some teacher and improve a lot. Most of the time, the teacher would be female, who would be his future love interest.

Hmm, that does mean I would fight with a protagonist.

Humph, I am not afraid of some little jerks. Though I want to live peacefully and not involve myself in unnecessary conflicts, that doesn't mean I am afraid of facing others.

If that protagonist is that idiot Dorian, I would end him once and for all, so that I wouldn't face problems in the future. From the way he was looking at me all day, I think he was having some bad thoughts about me.

It would be best to eradicate such a problem, sooner than later.

Now, let's rest for the night. It is going to be a long day from tomorrow. This was because I had to go to the dungeon.

Angela's class is only once a week. That would be the day that we can use the facilities. The other days were assigned to other classes. There would be a day gap in between, when anyone can use the facilities, except that it would cost points.

Before leaving Angela informed us about that.

It was not just the facilities but also the food. The academy would provide basic food, three times a day but if you want nutritious food, you can only pay for that.

I need that nutritious food. There is some food in the space ring that my mother packed for me that would be over in a few days. If I can't get that food, there won't be any changes in my STR, STA, AGI, or DEX attributes.

So I have to visit the dungeon from tomorrow.
