Jarek stayed with Veer for some time, exining all the matters in detail. After that, he left Veer to his thoughts.
"Hmm, where should I begin?" Veer took out some chips from his storage ring and began to eat them, while thinking about the day he had and the days he would face.
The first thing he thought about was the Dormitory he was now a leader of. He didn''t really suspect Jarek to have ulterior motives, as he knew Jarek was just shrugging off responsibilities.
The triplets might have taken the position in excitement, but they had realized the consequences of it. So, they were finding a scapegoat who could be their leader and take on the responsibilities.
It was not like they were losing any power. If Veer had to say, he was now a king of a declining country that was in heavy debt and also being attacked.
But it was a good opportunity for him, so he took the position. Veer had changed his vision and now had a goal he needed to aplish, and for that, he would do anything.
He was now in a rtionship with a Noble Dragon and the daughter of a Sword Saint. No matter what, the world would not allow their rtionship, even if their families did.
They were also weak, so they couldn''t shrug off what the world thought of them. So, Veer needed to prove his worth, even if he hated being in the spotlight.@@novelbin@@
"I''ll be hated anyways, so might as well be the most awesome guy around," Veer chuckled, as his habit of self-talking returned.
And the best way to prove his worth was by showing his strength and potential. However, he also needed to be careful.
The reason he wanted to get strong wasn''t only to prove his worth. He had far more problems waiting for him than just that, after all.
Being weak wasn''t an option for him. Not anymore.
"Agh! Why am I thinking so much?"
Veer groaned and stood up. He ignored everything for now and just focused on how he could be the leader of all three Dormitories.
"The only problem is Carlson himself, and I don''t know if I can defeat him yet," Veer mumbled.
Aspects worked weirdly, so he wasn''tpletely sure he could defeat him. Besides, even if he did defeat him, things wouldn''t change much.
He would just be following the world, like everyone else did. But he needed more. He wanted to stand out so Freya would notice him.
And for that, he needed to conquer all three Dormitories and bring the students under him. Only then would he be exceptional.
But it was easier said than done. The Academy already had rules, and ording to them, the Second and Third Dormitories would always be worse.
Veer had to go against the rules already established. His body shivered slightly as his mouth and eyes went wide open.
"That''s it!" Veer grinned widely, finally understanding how he could prove himself to Freya.
He licked his lips and chuckled, "Hehe! Miss Dean, be ready to be surprised."
Now, Veer knew his goal clearly and only needed to find a way to achieve it. But for that, he himself needed to be strong.
"I have good Mana control for now. I don''t know any techniques and spells but that''s fine," Veer frowned and murmured. "The only thing missing is stepping into the Beginner Stage."
Veer was a nerd in terms of exploration and curiosity, so when he got reincarnated, he had spent a considerable amount of time understanding the power system in detail.
Aside from the usual broken way of getting stronger, there were certain stages to rank people. There were nine Stages in total, corresponding to the nine ranks of Aspect.
It started from Beginner Stage, Intermediate Stage, Advanced Stage, Master Stage, Grandmaster Stage, Saint Stage, Demi-God Stage, False God Stage, and finally... True God Stage.
Yes, there were literal Gods in this world, or rather False Gods. As far as Veer knew, the strongest being alive was a False God, and nobody had achieved True God status in ages.
But he had read too many novels to believe there wasn''t a True God. He refused to believe otherwise.
As for how they were ranked, it was very bizarre, as it wasn''t a proper ascension system. These Stages were assigned by the World Government, a unified body consisting of all races.
"This world is too messed up!" Veer always felt a headache whenever he thought about the world''s power system. It wasn''t a simple one where he could determine that Rank S would be stronger than Rank A.
No, even B-Rank could defeat S-Rank.
The only consistent thing in the power system was the ranks of the Mana Core, which were very good. As Veer didn''t have any Mana Core yet, the system ranked him F-Rank...
"Wait! The system!"
Veer sat up, remembering he actually had a system. The thought left him speechless, as he had really forgotten about it.
[...]
Veer coughed lightly and asked, "Any changes, system?"
[Ding! Host has doted on his wives! The reward ''Primordial Arcane Forge'' has been assigned.]
"What?" Veer was confused and asked, "What''s that?"
[Primordial Arcane Forge]
[Type - Mana Cirction Technique]
[Rank - S]
[Description - The Primordial Arcane Forge is said to have originated from a mythical forge used by ancient battle-mages, where elemental energies were "smelted" and refined into weapons of unimaginable power. This technique emtes the forging process, cycling mana through the user''s body like a forge fire, tempering both the body and the mana itself.]
Veer almost fell off his bed, looking at the hologram before him. He rubbed his eyes and checked again.
"Holy cow! I really got an S-Rank Mana Cirction Technique?" Veer was in disbelief.
High-ranking Mana Cirction Techniques were rare, extremely rare. There wasn''t a single SSS-Rank Mana Cirction Technique in the world, and only those False Gods held SS-Rank Techniques, refusing to share them.
Because of this, the top ns and races had S-Rank Mana Cirction Techniques as their heritage, and only core members could practice them.
Veer''s family also had one, and his father might have given him ess to it despite opposition from others. But he had already run away, so he could only dream about it.
Even A-Rank Mana Cirction Techniques were rare, as they were practiced by normal members of top ns.
As for themon popce, even B-Rank Mana Cirction Techniques were treasures they would sacrifice anything to obtain.
And now, he got an S-Rank Mana Cirction Technique, just because he doted on his wives?
"This system might be more broken than I thought."
