The Tales of Draconic Warlock

This semester I trained a lot with the possible attack in the future in my mind. From what I observed about William or heard about him, he was not someone who would give up in the middle.

If he wanted something, he would fight for it until he got it. If there are competitors, he wouldn't fight against them, rather he would fight them and eliminate them.

So there was a high possibility that he would come after me. Whether he comes alone or in force, would be only known after I graduate.

Of course, he can't attack me at my home and I can spend time on my family grounds making it impossible for William to attack me but that would be just wasting everyone's time.

I have decided to roam this world as much as I can in this life.

In the past, I couldn't fully enjoy what Earth could offer me but I won't miss out on things like I did on Earth.

After a few years of travel, I would settle as a merchant or a shopkeeper. Either is fine. Depending on the travels I would decide on what to do later.

With my prowess, I can join the military like my siblings did but I am not interested in joining that.

Joining the military means there would be no privacy. Everything you do will be recorded and scrutinized. Even if they weren't recorded by devices, there are many powerhouses in the military who could easily sense what you are up to.

There are many powerhouses in the military, who could easily sense any disturbances in the compound.

Unlike in the academy where there are formations that can block others from intruding into the student's life, there is no such thing in the military.

I was able to access Nexus because the formations in my quarters would block anyone from sensing the disturbances. If there was no such feature, I could never use Nexus.

In the military, there is no such thing. There would be no personal rooms for the newbies. Unless I was able to reach higher ranks, I don't think I was eligible to gain access to such benefits.

With me hiding so many details about myself as a secret, I don't think that living with a bunch of other people in the same room would be good.

It would be too stressful to keep myself from slipping up.

I experienced that during the monster tide and that was only for a few hours. It was a horrible thing, one that I don't want to experience once again.

What I planned to do was to travel the world and then use that as an excuse for my improvement. I would show the world most of my true strength.

It means after this tour, I won't be Tier-2 or Tier-3. I would show that I have reached Tier-5. Whether I reach a much higher rank or not, I would show that as my rank.

I mean, this would be believed as I would possibly face many dangers while venturing out. SO they would readily believe that. Anything higher could put too much scrutiny on me. To play safe that would be the best rank I should show.

Of course, the time I spent outside should also be aligned with that rise in rank. A year or two would be good.

The best thing about this travel would be that I can use an alias and use my full power without any restrictions. Of course that could only happen after I cross Glesseria and deal with the Rutgurd cronies who might be waiting for me.

Forget about those things. I have no idea where to travel. I need to plan for that first.

There was no semester exam and since I was at the academy, it was convenient to record my departure to home.

In a few minutes, I was back at home. My AGI increased this semester and that made it easy for me to reach home faster than I used to. The only thing that would hinder me was the waiting time at the teleportation hub.

Even if I use the one at the academy itself, I would face the same problem as no sane student would use that. To use the teleportation circle at the academy, we have to pay using the academy points, which are not easy to earn.

Instead of wasting them here for a few minutes for an easy way, it's better to use the gold that many of us have in high quantity.

As I said before, there are escorts available at the academy who usually traverse between the academy and the capital. This would be their daily routine. They accept gold, not academy points. Those points are only usable inside the academy and outside of it, they are worthless.

After reaching the capital, one can use gold again to use the teleportation hub. So what's the need to spend points that are not easy to earn for the sake of a few minutes?

By the time I returned, the servants informed me that my father was in his office and my mother hadn't returned after she left a few months ago. I don't think I will see her until a few more months.

Most probably it would be a once-a-year situation but I don't like this.

Though this would give her an identity besides being the wife of a viscount, this work keeps our family apart. This won't do. I hope my mother finds another line of work.

I can't say to her to quit at this time as I still have a semester at the academy and moreover, I am planning to travel for a year or two. So pulling her here and not staying would be plain rude.

By the time I end my travel, if she still is in that secret department, then we should have a talk.

Anyway, since no family members were here, I decided to take a bath and rest till it was time to eat.
