The Tales of Draconic Warlock

William found a tool to clear the problem he had been facing. It was a possible tool but it was not a guaranteed one. He had to make sure before he could act.

Of course, it wouldn't be easy to spy on the first-year students without the help of first-year students. So he dragged a few noble family children that he knew into his circle.

As he was considered as the genius of the generation, there are families that wanted to make friends with him but the adults can't directly do that. So the burden has fallen on the shoulders of their children.

William knows this and this was what made him to form a gang easily. Though it was not an official one, his gang had a lot of people, especially the noble children. Even some seniors and teaching staff joined his gang.

Of course, there is no shame in joining a genius. So there are some seniors who follow him. There are a few teachers who favor him because they see that he can reach Tier-9 in the future.

Even with such power, he can't use it. They were not loyal dogs that would do things without questioning him. They are only followers of him because there is a chance of him reaching Tier-9 and they want to ride the coattails. They want the benefits, not the problems that come with him.

Magnus has never done anything to William and if these people investigate they will see that William is the instigator. So they would most likely use some excuses and not help him. They wouldn't help Magnus either.

They would be the fence-sitters. In this way, though they may not earn benefits, there would be no problems for them.

So William can't count on those to make his plan a reality. He can only depend on the juniors to make that happen.

Even if someone traces something, he can always feign ignorance. There is no responsibility as the followers are not registered officially. If it was a club, then the club president would be held accountable for the mistakes that their members make.

If his gang was a registered club, everything that the members would do would be recorded but there for him, there are such restraints. He can do whatever he wants to do without leaving any traces.

So he decided to use the first years. Most of them would be naive and would do anything that he would say. That is what he did. He didn't use one or two but more than half of the first year, including the best candidate that can get information for him.

The best candidate to collect the information would be Elisha Siren. She loves Wiliam, so he chooses her to maintain an eye on Magnus and collect information about the people around him.

Unlike others who may give him false information for some gold and resources but no way that Elisha would give him false information. She is in love with him and she would do anything to get rid of the constraint known as the marriage contract.

This was something he could truly count on but he also knew that only she couldn't collect everything. So he assigned a few more and made sure that no knows about that, not even each other.

He found the perfect tool to take out Magnus. The tool's name is Dorian, a commoner.

At the entrance exam, he saw how Dorian looked at Magnus. There is a past enmity between them and that is something he can clearly see. It was not just him, there were others who can see it.

The reason behind that, no one knew but later he found out the reason behind it.

A few months before the academy entrance exam, Magnus and Dorian met and that was not in a friendly way. Apparently Dorian tried to do something stupid and almost got killed.

If not for Magnus's intervention, he would have died. Instead of being thankful, Dorian apparently tried to scan the status of Magnus.

This was something that Magnus muttered while disciplining Dorian.

Magnus slapped Dorian repeatedly in public, which is humiliating to Dorian.

That animosity against Magnus was because of that humiliation. When William heard about this, he was sure that Dorian would make a move against Magnus and decided to watch from the stands.

Just as he thought Dorian made a move but that was a very stupid move and Magnus didn't fall for such an obvious trap. Magnus who didn't fall for the birthday trap that he and the Siren family planned would never fall for such a scheme.

The only way to get rid of Magnus is to kill him, but that was easier to say than to make true. He would spend the next two years in the academy. There is no way for William to get rid of him at that time.

Though there might be some chances in the third year, he wanted to complete this ordeal before Magnus reached the third year. This was because the fifth year in the academy is very important and he can't waste time on other things.

---

After contemplating for a while, William finally decided on what to do. He decided to meet Dorian and have a chat with him.

Depending on the direction it goes, he would change his plans. If Dorian agrees to do his bid, then it would be the best-case scenario for William. If he doesn't, he can get rid of Magnus and frame Dorian at the same time. This would be the best-case scenario.

That would be a hassle but needed to be done in case Dorian wouldn't join him in getting rid of Magnus.

There is also Dorian's stupid plan to make Magnus a bad seed in front of Angela Blazewood. She is not an ordinary person and William was sure that she heard everything and should have understood what he was trying to do.

If something happens to Magnus and the evidence points towards Dorian, Angela would surely relay the incident that she witnessed. It would perfectly lock him away.

So whether Dorian agrees to join or not in getting rid of Magnus, it would mean nothing much to WIlliam. Either way, it would be Magnus and Dorian who would suffer and he would be in the clear.
