The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 244: The bet that didn't go well (2)



(Magnus's PoV)

Once I did my morning routine, I went straight to the mission hall. I was already late to collect my rewards. If I delay anymore, there is a high chance that they could mark me dead, after what happened at Repest.

Soon I reached the mission hall and went straight to the counter and handed them my war badge and academy ID.

The clerk who was serving was surprised after checking the war badge, probably because of the number of kills recorded there.

"Is this really your badge?" she asked me with a frown on her face.

As I thought she suspected me, thinking that I might have stolen it from an adventurer or someone else.

I nodded, "Yes, it is mine".

After giving me a suspicious look, she turned to verify the details. There was no reason to be afraid as that war badge is truly mine.

I wonder what would have been her reaction if I had worn it on myself when I killed those Tier-4 and Tier-5 monsters?

It might have not ended with a simple frown. She could called the academy staff and could have called me a fraud. I mean with the rank I am showing, if I had shown the real kill data, even I would do the same thing.

Well, that's what I would do, what she would do maybe even more drastic than that.

What would be worrying then would be to show that I really was capable of killing those monsters. Once I was able to prove that, I would get my points but at what cost?

I think I said what could happen many times. There was no reason to waste my brain cells again on that matter.

After a few minutes, the frown on the clerk's face disappeared. It looks like the data was verified and I did nothing wrong.

A few minutes later, she smiled and handed me my ID, "Sorry about before".

"No problem", I said and left the hall.

She returned my ID but not the war badge.

I believe that since the war badges are issued by the government, they belong to them not me. It was given to me for the kill count during monster tide and now that the work to record those kills was done, it has to be returned.

Truth be told, I would have liked to keep that badge. It is a very intriguing piece of innovation. I mean, it can record my kill counts. How was possible?

Maybe there is information about such devices in the Nexus library but having a practical device would push the absorption rate faster.

having only theoretical knowledge pushed down the brain would not hold on for long. Only by having practical knowledge alongside theoretical knowledge would make it possible to learn knowledge faster.

On Earth, I have seen this.

Many countries that can't properly have practicals at the time of teaching to easily engrave the knowledge into the minds of the people, would only teach theoretical knowledge.

Though there would be many sharp minds that would only need to hear the knowledge to grasp what and how about it, there are many medium or low-level talents, who would need such help to rise to the peak.

Some nation leaders due to corruption, instead of using nation resources in a proper way to develop, use them for personal interests. Of course, for many nations, it is because of various other reasons like war, lack of proper resources etc...

Whatever the reason might be, many national talents immigrate to other nations hoping that there they could have better chances than in their homeland. It is a great loss of talent for the country but many couldn't do anything about that.

Hmm, why am speaking about Earth?

Anyway, if I had that device and if there was knowledge about this in the Nexus, then I could have learned something astronomical. Experience exclusive tales on mvl

I hope that there is a treasury room buried deep within the Nexus inaccessible to me. In this way, if I get access to that place, then many of my problems can be solved and I can reach a higher state.

Ah, but those are just my dreams, not reality.

Once I was done with the mission hall, my next destination was Angela.

It has been a few days since I left for the mission. Also, she should be at least worried about me, since I didn't contact her after the monster tide. She should have heard the details about the monster tide and should have at least tried to contact me.

During the monster tide, I threw everything into my personal space storage. I only retrieved it the night I got back but threw that back into the space storage.

I forgot about calling her and even if she did, the signal wouldn't reach my mobile if it was inside space rings or any type of space storage. That was something I forgot about as I was too tired to remember anything about that.

Last evening, I spent most of the time with Asya, who is in a secret realm, where signals don't work similarly to that of space storage. I could have called in the morning but since I already decided to visit her, there was no need to call her before that.

Now that I got my points, I should hurry and meet Angela.

---

As I opened the door to the training hall, where Angela would usually be at this time, there were two girls and who would that be if not for the twins?

Both Angela and Celine are present in the room.

I raised my hand to wave at them but Angela fell on to me and clung to me hard. Also, I can hear the sobbing sounds from her.

Even Celine looked a little sad, looking at her face, which seemed to have brightened up a little.

Was Angela crying for me?

Stupid.

I should have came here before I went to my room to rest and slept like a log.

Idiot.
