The Tales of Draconic Warlock

For example the Poison Resistance. It could be improved as you fight against enemies that have poison skills but these are pretty rare. Moreover, fighting them head-on without having resistance most probably would lead to death.

So the best way to improve poison skills was by injecting poison into the body. The amount should be small and the poison's potency should be low. There should be Antidotes nearby or else there is a chance that you may die.

Poisons are the most deadly way for one to die.

Death means corrosion of the meat suit we were wearing. When important organs are corroded to a degree, death would be inevitable. Out of all, poisons are the most potent way for that to happen.

So when there was no poison immunity, paralysis poisons would be used to slowly gain immunity at the beginning. These are not dangerous directly but they would leave us in a state of danger. Anyone can kill a paralysed person as they can't defend themselves.

Unless there are passive defences, even paralysis poisons are dangerous to lives.

This is why, once poisoned in a battle, they would most likely lose their life. This is why my parents increased my poison immunity to level 4. After reaching level 4, it is rather difficult to improve, unlike other immunities.

To this day, there is no record that a person achieved level 50 in poison immunity.

It was not the only immunity that was hard to reach higher level. So for resistances like these, it would be best you reach a higher level and forget about them because the chances of getting attacked by a higher poison skill or potion is very low.

Coming to my other resistances, Light creatures are very rare. Most of these monsters were reared by the Church of Holy Light.

They believe that Light Beasts are sacred beings and it is illegal to hunt them. Moreover, without the Chruch's permission, no one can breed them or use them as mounts either.

Of course, it led to a severe backlash as there is a kingdom called, Brilliance Kingdom, where the monsters ore Light Elemental Affinity. These monsters were their source of life.

Not using them means, they would lose their mounts, food supplies and way to improve their levels.

It was not just them but many spewed fire on the church for that. Though the church said that they retracted their statements, it was recorded that these fanatics would attack anyone who used Light Element Beasts as mounts or was seen hunting them.

Originally the church was formed to counteract the demons as they seemed weak against light, which gave the church too much. As with any other organization that has too much power, it got corrupted too.

At least that was my opinion of them after I read about them.

They were supposed to be the protection dome of humans against demons but it was said that they were acting differently for the past century or so.

Why?

No one has any idea.

I say that they were tired of being the meat shields and wanted to take over humanity.

Whatever their plans were, it has nothing to do with me. Their sphere of influence is very far away from here.

So what I should concentrate on is to find if the Nexus can create only specific monsters for training.

There is also the preparation needed for the Dragon Blood evolution. I think that would be best done after Angela's class, as I would get three nights and two days to see what would happen if I tried to improve my skill level.

Today is the third day and that means it is time for the common class for the entire second-year students.

I freshened up as soon as I woke up, ate my breakfast and went to the common hall, which I didn't know existed before today. This is where the class would take place.

Everyone in the second year is here, except for the six students. Five were dead after the first year and Elisha was expelled last semester.

With those two troublemakers gone, there would be no issues for me at school.

I was so immersed in my training for the last three semesters that I never knew that this room existed before. The room is very large, that can easily accommodate over three thousand students.

I can't think of the reason behind this room's construction. The room was too big. Maybe it was supposed to accommodate all five years at the same time but my siblings didn't say anything of any occasion that requires all five years to be assembled here.

Of course, they didn't say about this common course that we have to see through in the second year either. It means that I can't depend solely on the information that they provided me.

I have to navigate the waters on my own. I can't just depend on what others say.

We waited for a few minutes, and before long Angela walked through the entrance, no, that was Celine, Angela's sister.

Man, why do I keep mixing them up? If I want to have a relationship with them, then I have to do better than that. If I mix them up, there is no way that Angela would believe me that I am a good pick for her.

Celine walked up to the dias and started to speak, "Good morning everyone. Some of you might know me. Some of you don't. My name is Celine Blazewood. I will be your teacher this semester. In this semester what you have is my class, that is theoretical, not practical ones".

"You can go to your previous trainers during other days for training but that depends on whether the teachers were available".

"You must be wondering why it was a common class for all the students from the second year. Don't think too much. From next year, you will all be able to go out on missions. Though it was not compulsory, know this, missions outside the academy would yield more points than you can get in the academy".

"Moreover, you would be able to meet people all over the nation and can understand their way of living. The missions are paving a path for your future directly and indirectly. So doing missions is a must if you want to grow".

"Missions are mostly dangerous and it was always advised to move in groups rather than going out alone. Sure you have to divide the points among the group but staying in a group increases the chances of survival, than when alone".

"For a year and a half, there were class divisions. It is the same now too as the elite classes would get more resources than the lower classes. It stops from next year as most of the time you would be staying outside the academy doing missions, not taking classes".

"Housing would be the same as what it was. You can rest in your quarters when you are not away doing missions".

"The academy would act as a way for you to get the missions. Missions you get here are verified and most likely not a scam. If they were, the academy would provide compensation unlike what happens in guilds outside".

"These missions create paths for your future, so it's best that you succeed in completing them. So in order to properly execute these missions, this class came to be. Here we not only discuss the types of missions that would be issued but also on how to act in various scenarios".

"You should know that the intelligence provided for a mission might not be perfect. This class would tell you how to act on various known scenarios".

"This class is not only for that but also for how to act with various people. Some of the noble children should have learned etiquette, but that was on how to act with other nobles, not with commoners. When we are out there to complete our missions, we depend mostly on the commoners, not the nobles".

"Though most of the missions come from guilds, they were mostly operated by commoners. So acting inappropriately might cause you to lose the chance of completing the mission".

The class continued till noon, before we were allowed to leave.

Wow, that was nice. I learned a lot about the kingdom through this than books.

That is why there are schools. Though there are books, it was written according to a single author and one can't buy every book out there regarding a single topic. Even if one can, it is not always possible to grasp the meaning of every book.

Moreover, many minds can discuss about it and one can form their own opinion based on the point of view from various sources.
