The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 208: Second half of my fourth year (3)



I have twelve months whether I like it or not. It's the maximum number that I have, maybe less or more, I can't know that. To use as a standard, I decided that it to be twelve months.

In these twelve months, I need to make sure that I make the most of every second that I can spare. Even if there is no event, I should do something that could attract at least Angela's family.

It won't be an easy thing as I was aiming to get both of them. Even to get acceptance for a single one from their family would be a hassle, forget about what I have to go through for both of the girls.

Moreover, as of now, I only have one girl and have to try to gain the remainder of the twins on top of how to make sure that their family would agree to that.

It's going to give me a headache.

Anyway, what I should concentrate on this semester is to increase my rank as much as possible. Also, I need to attend a few fighting sessions with Angela or she might think that I gave up on her.

Though the chances of me impressing her family look bleak in her opinion, she hopes that I should do my part in trying to impress them. Whether that try would succeed or not, it doesn't matter. For her, I need to give my best and I should too.

This means I had to show her that I was doing everything in my power for that to happen.

So, I can't keep it all to myself, like I usually do but I can't show her everything about me, not now anyway. Though I like her, there is no way that I would spill some of the secrets that even my parents have no idea about.

I didn't say anything to them for fear that they would spread like wildfire. There was a saying, Even the walls have Ears or something along those lines.

It means once a secret was known to a single person, it wouldn't stop there. It would be known to others in one way or another.

The best way to keep a secret was to not tell anyone about the secret.

No matter what the other person says, secrets will never be secrets once they come out of your mouth. Whether on their own choice or under some other circumstances, those would be spilt.

Even if the person that you trusted and told the secrets don't spill that doesn't mean that they are safe. While you are telling that person, someone else could be hearing that.

This is why most of the discussions about the information that is considered important would be discussed only in a secure room back on Earth.

Anyway, this was why I didn't tell my secrets to my parents and there is no way that I would tell others before telling my parents. Even to them, I wouldn't tell them about my past life.

Past life is the past and that is where it should be. It should be helpful for me to make better decisions but other than that, it belongs in the past and forgotten section. It shouldn't be discussed in this life.

When the time is right, I would tell them about my true class and my talent. Others, no, I don't want to give them a heart attack.

They already knew about my bloodline and if all my talents came out, then I don't think it would be a good thing even after I become powerful. Someone would feel envious or threatened enough to rally others and make a joint attack, as they would see me as a threat.

I don't have genocidal tendencies but if I was cornered and had no way out, then the only way for me would be killing and when I say killing, I mean a lot of people would have to die.

It would cause a domino and others would come after me, either because they see how powerful I am or because they blame me for the deaths of the ones who came to kill me.

It won't be a pleasant outcome.

Having too much talent is never a good thing. Everyone will be jealous of you or afraid of you and they would be ready to see you fall or make that happen.

It is a common thing. No one wants to have someone who would be able to reach a stage that would be far away from them.

People by nature are greedy. Though they show many emotions, I believe that greed and jealousy are two emotions that could cloud everything and destroy them.

I mean, there were stories where brothers kill each other such as the firstborn son was jealous of his brother because he was way more talented than him or because as a second-born, they get nothing while the firstborn would hoard everything that their parents had.

Happenings like this are not something that happened once or twice. Throughout the ages, these types of incidents are numerous.

You should understand, that if one gets jealous over their own brother, then what about their classmates or someone in their city?

If you are talented, then you should have a sufficient background to protect yourself. Even if there is a background wouldn't mean you are safe.

Let's take my family for example.

Since my family is a viscount family, people of common origin or noble origin who are less than a viscount wouldn't make any moves against me, unless they are cocky like Dorian.

They would be afraid of retaliation if they did something that they shouldn't do. This would keep them in check.

Coming to nobles, who are viscount and above, if they are allies or neutral, they would try to have a marriage alliance with us.

It's the enemy families that we have to concentrate on. They would never allow a talent to live to their full potential or they could become their doom in the future.

Forget about the enemies, even an elder tried to kill me using assassins because he was afraid of my father. If he had known how talented I was, he may have come personally to complete the deed.

I would have been dead if that were the case back then.

Luckily I didn't promote my talents and due to that, I am now at Tier-6, moving towards Tier-7.
