Chapter 58: Chapter 58"I believe that I am more than capable of avoiding any pitfalls now. So, let’s tour the acdemy once more and see it’s grand appeal in the day. A map is attached to the guidebook. So, I am sure I won’t get lost while touring the academy", Aaron thought to himself as he left his house.

    "The question is where to go first?"

    "Hmm, since eating is important, I need to find out where to buy the groceries. The benefit of free groceries was one time. After the groceries inside the house were over, I need to use Dusk credits to buy them".

    "Luckily, as someone who signed an S-rank contract with the academy, in the first year, they would provide me with 1,000 credits per month. From second year, that privilege is nullified, but a year would be more than enough to earn more than enough credits to do whatever I want", Aaron thought to himself.

    He was right to think so.

    To use dungeons, one needs to use Dusk credits. The loot obtained there can be exchanged for more credits. No matter how you look at this exchange, there would only be profits with this.

    How much profit can one gain through this?

    It totally depends on the luck of the student. Though it was already known what the dungeon would spit out for killing the monsters in the dungeon, the amount of loot differs from person to person. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    In an Experience Dungeon, for every kill, there is an experience package, but that doesn’t remain the same in a Loot Dungeon. Not every kill would drop loot in these dungeons. It depends on the luck of the hunter.

    If they have enough luck, a lot of monsters will drop loot; if not, the drop would be less.

    Aaron would say that his luck is not very high but also not very low either. When he went to the loot dungeons, the drop rate was average. He was similar to many people around him. For that, he was more than happy.

    Getting an SS-rank talent, a lot of luck should have been consumed, or at least that’s what he believed. If only there was an indicator to show the luck attribute, there might not have been much of an issue.

    For a while, he was a little worried that his luck was all consumed when he awakened that talent, but he was wrong.

    Even if that consumed a lot of luck, he still stands among the average people.

    This may not be a great thing, but it was still good, rather than all his luck consumed and he has to face some disastrous situations. After going through the loot dungeon, such worries disappeared from Aaron’s mind.

    Though he may have to face some disasters, as this is common in this world, he was relieved that those may not be directed at him.

    Aaron is not stupid. Even before he awakened, he always paid attention to the news regarding the awakeners. There were many pieces of news regarding the appearance of talented young awakners and also when they die without reaching their true potential.

    Many say that they died because they became too arrogant, thinking of themselves as invincible because of their talents and plunging into dangerous situations without giving a proper thought.

    Though news like that appeared, Aaron didn’t think all those deaths were because they were arrogant. He saw people getting envious of others possessing something better than them and committing crimes to obtain such things for themselves.

    Awakeners are humans too.

    Would a bad person become suddenly generous just because they awakened? No, whatever they have would amplify. The good become better, while the bad become the worst.

    This is why Aaron feared that someone would become envious of his talent if it was known. So, he kept that a secret, even from his parents.

    Who wouldn’t be envious of him having such a talent?

    Even someone who is considered good and great would feel bad that if they had that talent, they would have reached a higher rank. Whether they may take any action against Aaron is unknown but the evil people would certainly would have taken action.

    The train was a good example.

    To the world, he is just a Death Mage, someone who is considered as someone who wouldn’t attain greatness in the future. Other professions have a way to cross to Rank-7 and above as long as the Awakener is talented enough or not dead.

    For a Death Mage, that path is closed.

    Even so, as he reached the top rank in the alliance exam, he was targeted. Though the assassin botched the mission, it means he was already on the hit list.

    Acheivements achieved today may not be achieved again tomorrow but talent would remain until death. Even if something can’t be achieved today, with enough talent that can be achieved tomorrow.

    If not for the fact that the cult couldn’t get their hands on Mary, they wouldn’t have thought about Aaron at all, even if he was the top ranker.

    The hit list was just to annoy the alliance, but Aaron didn’t know that fact.

    He was sure that he was made into the hit list of the cult. So, what he wanted now was to become strong enough to deter any potential assassins in the future.

    To do that, he needed to dive into dungeons and to do that, he needed credits, a lot of credits. For many students, that would be problematic as their monthly allowance is very low; that is not a problem for Aaron as he would get 1,000 credits every month.

    He could spend them as he wishes to improve as fast as he wants to. He could also go to loot dungeons and earn a lot more credits, which would make it easier to go to higher level dungeons.

    The academy gave him a great foundation, and using that, he can build a great structure in the future.

    Dusk City, Far away from the Dusk Academy...

    "Is what you are saying true?" a bald old man with a white beard asked the young woman.

    "Yes, I can swear an oath on my soul", she replied.

    The old man thought for a while, "It matters not Sarah, the boy is a Death Mage. No matter how talented he is, he would stop at Rank-6. No need to worry. You can leave now".

    Sarh bowed and left the room, leaving the old man alone.
