10 School in Session pt2

Draig stared at his options before choosing the Mist Form and Illusion, he smirked as he entered the Dwarf settlement. Those that laid eyes on him trembled and tried to shirk away from his view, he ignored this though and continued to the forge.

He entered silently and watched these craftsmen work, he was intrigued by their process and the small details to their movements that would be missed if not for his superior eyes. Suddenly the system brought a notification.

'Bloodline of the Dwarfs is reacting to this familiar sight granting a plus two to your forging capabilities'

Draig raised his brow as he felt a fluctuation in his energy causing the Dwarfs to notice his presence, stopping their work they began froze when looking at Draig.

Shaking his head seeing the missed opportunity to gain more to his forging he realized that he needed to investigate further with this strange occurrence, he couldn't use it with the goblins as he had a mastery over their form of potion brewing. He couldn't return to the Elf settlement until he was stronger, he was not left with many options unless he tried with Zarra maybe. The thought of getting one over on the Dark mage did sound appealing, he also needed to test his new skills he had gained from the advancement.

Returning to the farm as quickly as possible, he realized Zarra had not returned yet. Seemed that his intention to let him rest was genuine.

'Actually I do feel rather sleepy' thought Draig stepping into the farm house going upstairs to the room he had used previously while he was purging the holy element from his body.

He remembered he hadn't seen what the effects of the corruption were, opening the menu he was puzzled at the addition and changes to some of his skills.

'Congratulations on forming Heretic Magic, plus five to Toxic magic and Holy element now does less damage to host'

Draig was surprised by the boost but couldn't be sure because of the passive part of Toxic magic, he slowly felt his eyes growing heavy as he thought of these changes until he couldn't fight it.

Meanwhile Zarra was meeting with the entirety of the Guild masters, he stared at all of them with an overbearing gaze.

"Hello everyone, I am sure you are wondering why I have decided to hold this meeting. As many of you know it's almost time for the Planes competition, humanity has done poorly in the past few years causing the creation of the forbidden zones. This year those higher powers of the different planes have suggested a winners take all type of bid, some of you may think this is a death sentence but I am seeing it differently. This is a golden opportunity to regain everything we have lost in one fell swoop and reestablish our dominance on this plane" explained Zarra being interrupted by the crazed shouts of the guild masters

"Lord Zarra are you insane" cried one with sweat dotting his face

"You fucking Dark mage you have doomed us all" said a bolder master

Zarra stared at these men listening to their shouts until he decided he had let them vent enough, forcing his power over the room the men began quiet down while a fear settled over their hearts.

"Listen you sorry excuse of System users, I have already decided to take this bid. I am merely telling you as a formality, I am going to hold a training camp and then a tournament to decide who the competitors will be for this Planes competition. Send your youths to the domain of the Vampire brat, I will have already established everything by the time they arrive. You all gather your resources and send them over collectively, as for the running of the guilds call in a mandatory reinstatement for those that retired" with that said Zarra opened up a rift ignoring the shouts of the Guild masters

'I need to go get my teaching staff' thought Zarra smiling deviously as he appeared outside a tower with bars covering every window.

On the farm Draig as awoken by the sound of a crowd outside but thought he must be dreaming still and closed his eyes until he heard a knock on his door.

Going down stairs he realized it was not his imagination when he saw thousands of Guilders on his farm and the one in front of him was none other than the guy who had appraised his anvil.

"Hello Mr. Draig" said the guy with a smile

Draig stared at this guy critically, he remembered after all it had only been a week but why were all these Guilders here, not asking himself he began thinking until he came to a startling conclusion.

'There here to kill me' thought Draig as an ominous aura started radiation from his body.

He clutched the youth with the Eye of appraisal and threw him into the crowd as he stepped out of the farm house gaining the attention of the crowd.

"Who is that" asked one the younger youths

"Didn't you pay attention to the Master, that's the guy who gained the monster System" said a girl whispering to the youth.

Draig stared at the crowd coldly.

"Leave this place" said Draig simply

The crowd stared at him for a long time before a haughty youth stepped forward wearing a red armor.

"So your the trash the exiled, you don't look so dangerous to me" the youth paused but found himself in a shock when Draig appeared before him.

"Funny I could say the same about you mortal" stated Draig grabbing the youth by his neck and throwing him into the wall leading to the city.

The crowd stared at Draig seriously, they all knew who the youth in red armor was, he had gained the Flame Knight specialization class. He was a formidable and shameless individual.

"If you do not leave now you will all be in grave danger" said Draig ominously until he realized a firm grip was landing on his shoulder again.

"Brat don't tell that to our guests" said Zarra slamming his staff onto Draig's head violently

"Hello brats, I am Zarra and I am here to tell you all, School is in Session" laughed Zarra as a group of horrifying men stepped from behind him with cruel smiles on their faces.
