9 School in Session (2/2)

”Well I have been thinking why haven't we been training my skills” said Draig with an unsure tone

”Simple, first focus on the hand to hand portion because most people at your level are amateur with their spells and skills anyways in the way that they cast them. They are slow and therefore the most efficient way to handle them is to simply use your fists” explained Zarra

Draig nodded his head, it made sense but it would be far more efficient to use his skills in his opinion.

Somewhat sensing his thoughts Zarra smirked before speaking.

”Or you can try and slip them in while we spar” said Zarra looking at Draig condescendingly

Draig rose to the taunt despite how obvious it was, and tried using his Dark magic conjuring a pitiful flame.

”But if you use magic so will I” said Zarra as a pillar of earth rose and hit Draig directly in the chest causing a sickening crunch to ring out.

Draig laid on his back unable to move, he thought he was getting a little bit better until this happened.

”Go rest up brat, it's been a week and we will start again tomorrow” ordered Zarra before leaving through his rift.

'Damn Dark mage' thought Draig as he rose from the ground and drank one of his potions feeling the damage from the hit healing quickly.

Given the brief little reprieve from the onslaught he left to the forbidden zone to see how things were coming along.

Draig went to the mountain where he had planned to set up shop and was surprised to see that the races he had subjugated had clustered around the mountains in their own little encampments but looking into the distance at the guilds entrance to the Forbidden zone he saw groups of Guilders wandering into the forbidden zone searching through the abandoned villages of the monsters only finding novelties. Smirking he went to the Dwarfs to learn a bit of forging, he had failed to practice let alone bond the anvil.

He needed armor and weapons for his plans to come to fruition, he had not forgotten the rage he felt at having to flee just because he had a chance encounter and discovered a treasure. Thinking of that Draig remembered he still hadn't selected a skill for his advancement.

Opening the system he viewed his options.

'Select one of the following'

'Boosted body(passive), Hypnosis, Illusion, Mist form, Coven master(passive)'

Draig stared at his options unsure of what to choose.
