"We stalled for two years, saying that we were bound to the academy as we had long decided to take on the roles as teachers here. After the end of the next academic year, there would be no stopping. If you want me, then you have to do something within the next two years".
These words echoed in my ears again and again as I walked back to my quarters.
What she said was true. For me to have any chance of gaining her and her sister (To Angela it was just her but for me, it's both of them), then I have to show my power within the next two years. I need to do something great that everybody couldn't recognize me, at least for a generation.
What could I do?
What is there to do?
I have no idea but I have decided that I couldn't be just in the back drop for me to gain what I wanted. I need to do something great so that I would get whatever I want easily.
The problem was that nothing came to my mind. There was nothing that I could do in these two years to make my name known throughout the kingdom.
Even if there were none, I hope that there would be something someday but I have to be prepared for that day to have the maximum result.
There is only one way for that to happen and that is for me to become stronger than now, much stronger. The rank is okay. At my age, reaching Tier-6 can be considered out of the world but at Tier-6, at least a skill should be at level 50 but there is not even one that crossed level 30.
I need to improve a lot and I have to put my time and energy into improving my skills and only on that. Also, if there are any treasures that increases the attributes, I need them.
Let's see my status for a second.

If you look at that, my INT, HP, and MP are way above my other attributes and that is a loss.
As a spellcaster, my INT and MP are supposed to be much higher than other attributes but there is a limit. With improvement in physical attributes, I can't properly utilize the true power of my INT and MP.
This was why when I fight, it still takes some time before I can defeat opponents whose rank should be around mine. I didn't know that at first. I only thought that they were pitiful and wanted to improve them.
Moreover, I saw them as my weak points and weak points have to be covered in order to save yourself.
After entering Nexus, I didn't just rapidly improve in combat but also in knowledge. In one of the tomes that I have access to, it was said that all attributes go hand in hand. Original content from M-VL-em|p,yr
Depending on the Class you awakened, one would be higher than the others but the disparity shouldn't be too high. If that happens, then it would become a weakness of that person.
For example, if a warrior has an INT of 1 and a strength of 1000, then what state would he be?
He would be a brute and wouldn't think before charging into battles, and would die easily because he wouldn't see the traps laid out nor he would have a strategy to properly defeat the enemies.
For a spell caster, every time magic was used, it would cause a burden on the body. Without END at the correct level, then it would slowly deteriorate.
Lucky for me, my HP is also very high and the reason, I didn't see any problems, except for the fact that my magic was constricted by the body because of my huge vitality but that's not a solution.
Other attributes are also useful, as they would help in the survival of a person.
AGI is very useful if you are in a precarious position. No matter the movement skill you learn, without the proper foundation i.e. AGI, you can't get out of the precarious position.
Coming to my skills, and resistances, they are very poor. I mean, very few touched level 20 and not one has reached level 25. At Tier-6, I need to reach level 50. In numbers it may look like that I have reached half of the distance but that is wrong.
As the level increases, the difficulty of reaching the next level increases just like in the rank. I need to concentrate more on improving them and with Nexus in my hands, it would be rather easy.
Coming to weapon arts, I can take extra help from Angela. After all, I think she wouldn't want to leave me and marry someone that her family brings.
This would be my routine for the next two years until I graduate from the academy unless something important pops up. I hope nothing pops up until I am ready.
