The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 4: My Training (1)

After relaying some of the details to my parents about my awakening, we feasted for the night celebrating my successful awakening. After that, I went to sleep. There are things to plan but I postponed them for later. I have a lot of time to clearly think about it. I need the sleep as early in the morning as my training would resume, probably changing a lot due to my class.

It is common sense that the training for each profession would be tailor-made to suit that profession. A warrior training for a mage is a waste of time and resources. A warrior needs to increase his Strength and Endurance, while a mage needs to increase Magic Power and Intelligence.

Though Intelligence was hidden till the awakened unlocked their sea of consciousness, it improves as one trains and levels up nonetheless.

The attributes can be increased either through training or by leveling up. The training though would almost become obsolete as you reach higher ranks, as increasing attributes through training at that point would be minimal and is considered as a waste of time and resources.

Leveling up would improve attributes, that are required by their class.

For example, I am a Warlock. For me Magic Power and Intelligence are important. So every level up, I would get +10 Magic Power and +1 Intelligence.

So I can still train to improve my other attributes to the limits even after I start to level up but it was not recommended to level up until your professional attributes are at their limits, which is problematic for spellcasters as Intelligence is not shown and we wouldn't know if we have reached the limit.

Moreover, magic power is something every awakener needs. So there are many meditation methods to improve the magic power bit by bit. As rank increases, so does the Magic Power for every awakened. So improving Magic Power by leveling was not impressive at all, as almost anyone can catch up to the levels of a spellcaster if they invest properly and work hard.

Even with these disadvantages, spellcasters were the most feared profession. This was because everything would change once the sea of consciousness was opened by the awakener. So even if spellcasters were considered weak at early stages, they would totally become untouchable when they reached higher ranks.

I woke up early in the morning as usual. This was since my family started to train me. Though as I was yet to awaken at that time, I knew that they were going easy on me and the training was composed of simple exercises, and today that's all going to change.

I quickly refreshed and went to the training grounds. This was told to me by my father last night while we were having the feast.

By the time I arrived, there was a burly man standing alone in the training grounds. This was the Guard captain of our family, Domer Frostwolf. He doesn't belong to our house but due to his great services, he was rewarded with our house name, as he never had a surname before.

"Hey Captain Domer, nice to see you again but why are you here?" I asked the captain as soon as I saw him.

I didn't understand why he was here. I am a warlock but I don't think the family has a warlock trainers. So I presumed that they would send a mage or some spellcaster to train me but there is only one standing here other than me and that is Captain Domer.

He is a Knight, which was a warrior profession, not a spellcaster profession. He is not suited to train me.

The captain looked at me and sighed, "Sorry, young master. There was a little issue and most of the spellcasters were either away or had their hands full. So they can't train you for today. I was informed that once they were available, your training would be resumed by them", he said.

Wait, how could be that there are spellcaster trainers available for me?

Ah, I see it now. This is the ploy of the other elders, who are trying to undermine my father and seize his power for themselves. My parents already have four successful awakeners. If I was added to that, then my father would gain even more power in the family.

Everyone can see it, even the captain saw the power struggle clearly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It doesn't matter anyway. Even if they try to hinder my growth, they can't stop me. I saw the use of my physique last night when we had a feast and it was marvelous.

After the feast, there are many changes in my status screen.
