BXBX NOVEL Chapter 147: Me planning for what to do next
I dumped that and left for the academy. I have been away for three days. If I miss any more training, Angela might whup my ass ad I am not joking about that.
---
I returned to the academy before ten in the morning. The talk with my father took most of my time. The transportation from Winter City to the Capital and from there to the academy didn\'t take much time.
I used the teleportation circle to reach the capital. With my high AGI, it took a few minutes to reach the capital. It only took as much as it did because I had to leave the teleportation hub and reach the gates, in a normal manner.
I am not the king nor a capital city guard. Only they can move fast without caring about others in the streets. Of course, they would choose to fly if they have the abilities or mounts but usually flying or dashing in the capital is considered a crime.
So I could only walk slowly through the streets of the capital, before reaching the gates. Once I left the city, using Sprint skill along with my high AGI, I was able to reach the academy in record time.
After reaching the academy, I went straight to my quarters. I missed three days of training for the wedding.
The reason why everyone pushes youngsters to improve is because this age is the age when a person\'s potential would be highest. As one age, the potential reduces, making it difficult for people to reach higher ranks.
It doesn\'t matter how long one lives, the potential shown by people before they reach thirty is always the highest. After thirty, the growth would be pretty much stabilized unless one can find treasures that can improve their talent or improve ranks directly.
Though work and rest had to go hand in hand, it is best to allocate more time to train rather than rest at this age.
Normally on Earth, working too much can strain a body and reduce future potential but those were on Earth\'s terms but here on Ragos, it is a bit different.
Sure one can\'t ignore rest but working a bit more wouldn\'t hurt, rather it can push forward in life.

After returning to my quarters, I let Inari and Asya out. Due to the ceremony, there are a lot of people at the family compound. I couldn\'t let them out for long periods. They could only come out to eat and return to the Pet Space.
Now that they are out, let\'s plan for the next four months, no...I should plan for the entire second year.
In the third year, I could access missions to earn points and that means going out. So I need to plan how to develop for better before that, in order to increase my survivability rate outside.
A lot of students did die while they were out on missions.
Now, let\'s check what my details are once more. I need to improve many of my skills but I know that I can\'t do that. So I should prioritize a few and these skills have to reach level 20 by the end of the semester. Let\'s see which I select.
[A/N: I am only showing skills and not the entire status panel as it is not needed in this chapter.]

Class skills and Special skills don\'t have levels. So I can ignore them.
Refined skills, huh, I have only one. I created this so that I have a skill that can target multiple enemies. Except for that, there are no Multi-target attack skills in my possession.
There is an AOE skill but that is not an attack skill.
Should I find an AOE attack skill?
Up to now, Shadow Bolt Volley was very useful but one day that might not be the case. Light is considered as a restraint for Shadow or any other Dark skills.
If the opponent was someone who was proficient in light skills or had Darkness resistance, then I can\'t beat them. This is why any spellcaster should possess multiple elemental attack skills.
It was easy to get skills or resistances when compared to improving them.
So normally any awakener would only have a few skills or resistances. which would usually related to their profession and their weakness. These are enough for them but I am different. I want to reach the top and at the same time have no weaknesses.
This can be only possible because I have cloning skills. If they were not there, I might have followed the general pattern.
Sure, my goal is unattainable. Nature never likes beings with no weakness. It would create a new being for that specific purpose.
What I wanted to do was to limit my weaknesses.
As long as I did that, not everyone would be able to defeat me. So there would be no need to be worried about everything around me.
At present, though I am Tier-5, I am only considered an Elite in Glessaria, not in the world. There are empires, where Tier-5 awakened would be present at every corner of a street.
There are a lot of Class Skills available to me. Though not all are useful to create some new skills based on them, there are still some skills that I can look into.
There are Blood Drain, Blood Boil, Space Slash and Nether Flames. These are all single-target skills.
I think that based on these skills I can create AOE or Multi-target attack skills.
I can use the principles of Blood Drain or Blood Boil and create a field attack. Enemies inside the field would have their blood drained or their blood would boil and kill them.
I think Nether Flames\' skill could be like Shadow Bolt. I can create Nether Flames Volley, which can attack multiple enemies.
The problem was with the Space Slash.
What could I create based on this skill?
---
Anyway, after looking at the status, I believe that it would be best if I improve Evade, Dodge, Sprint and Strengthen to Level 20 first. The Split and Fusion Skills won\'t need my intervention. As I train, I would use them so that many skills are improved or a skill improves in a major way.
Once that is completed, I should concentrate on Alertness and Perception. They are a bit far away from level 20 but they would be useful in year three, when I can take missions that would take me outside the academy.
Coming to resistances, only Physical resistance is near level 20. Once it does, I should find a way to increase Light Resistance. This was because as an awakener whose profession belongs to Darkness, Light is the main problem for me.
Having Light Resistance at a high level would eradicate one of my major weaknesses.
I should also improve Non-attribute Magic resistance. It would be a black mark if I get defeated by a magic skill, being a spellcaster myself.
These are my primary goals to achieve in this semester. I hope I can do more than this or else I can\'t reach the top position in the world.
Even though I am on top at this moment, no one knows what happens next. So what I could was to progress faster than others. Only by this can I be at the top, no matter the changes that happen around me.
Only by being at the top, would the chances of survival increase.
Everything that people do is to survive for a long time and I am no exception.
