The Tales of Draconic Warlock

A total of 600 students were selected for the first year. There are six classes in the first year, from 1-A to 1-F.

1-A was where the top students were placed, while 1-F was where the lowest rankers were placed. One would think that each class has 100 students but that was wrong.

Class 1-A has only 50 students while the remaining 550 were equally distributed among the five classes.

It was said that 25% of the resources would be allocated to class 1-A. It means the top 50 can enjoy a lot of resources and can improve faster when compared to others.

This would surely increase the difference between the students much wider. As time go on, the ones at the bottom would start to lose their chances of reaching the top.

Anything that can be done has to be done in the first two years. After that, the ranks would stabilize and the changes would be minimal. Unless they were lucky and found some opportunities while out in the world, the difference between the top rankers and the low rankers would become quite vast and that would keep increasing.

Anyway, most of the top ranks were occupied by the nobles and the rich.

Out of 50, except for 5, the other 45 either belong to the noble class or their parents are rich. Only five come from the commoner class. Most of these forty-five had contact with one or two before the academy started.

I too met three students beforehand and that is after I excluded Dorian.

Two of them, I only met once before we got to know each other once again in these past two days at the academy. The last one was the son of a merchant who frequented Winter City. His name is Markus Villus. We met many times before the awakening. After that, the academy was the first time we met again.

Winter City was not his home. So he never returned after awakening. For him improving is far more important than a friendship with a child of Viscount, who was not even the heir.

I don\'t blame him. Even if he appeared in the Winter City, I wouldn\'t have time to meet him. We were both busy improving ourselves in these past five years.

Since we knew each other when we were children, it made it easy for us to connect immediately. The sitting position in the class was beside him. On one side is the window that lets me watch the outside skies and the other side is him.

It made it easy to speak with him the class and not to be bothered by everyone. I am not an introvert who keeps to himself but I am also not someone who mingles with others too much.

The entire class was chatting with each other.

Once the red-haired woman appeared, everyone turned silent, especially the boys. There was a look of lust in their eyes. Some were even drooling.

Luckily I could show the expression I wanted to show, which let me escape from the dump.

It was not just the teacher who looked at those idiots in disgust but also the girls in the class. At this age, everyone wants to be admired by others, especially by boys, and at the same time they don\'t like competition.

The red-haired woman is not a teen but a grown woman. Her body was better in every aspect and that was something they couldn\'t compete with.

I can see that these girls were extremely disgusted with my peers but it looked like I became a target for them.

I don\'t know if I did the right thing or not. I suddenly felt chill by the way those girls were looking at me. Did they make me their target?

Man, I was happy thinking about the brownie points that I just scored with the new sexy teacher. Now I became a target of those weirdos. Though I am a bit lustful and dream about having a lot of lovers, it is not the time nor do I want to gain them in this way.

It doesn\'t matter. There are many ways to escape their grasp for the time being. In time, they would move on to different targets.

"Hello students, My name is Angela Blazewood. I am a Tier-5 Fireblazer. To someone who doesn\'t understand my profession, it is a hybrid profession. It belongs neither to the warrior profession nor to the mage profession but at the same time belongs to both".

"So I can teach both spell casters and warriors at the same time. Though I can\'t properly teach you, I think for most of you it is enough in the first, maybe even in the second year. Once you reach a certain realm, I\'ll arrange you different teachers based on your fighting".

"Until then, I am your teacher. I\'ll be teaching you everything in the first year, and that includes not just theory but also the training part".

"Unless you show that your talent requires personal training, you have to stay in my class".

"Now, since you are all in 1-A, that means you enjoy a lot of resources and the academy expects you to train hard and improve yourselves or face the consequences".

"Remember, there is a test every six months. If you fail to keep up, you will be demoted to the lower class, and at the same time, someone from the lower class will enter this class and occupy your place. Your residence would also change if you lose your rank in the class. So don\'t waste time and train diligently or you will be left behind by your peers".

"Now, let\'s go train for today", she said as she left the room.

Most didn\'t understand what she meant by that, but I did and so did a few. We got out of the class, eager to follow her or else get lost on the first day itself. The others followed behind quickly.
