Zeke then realised that he had karma points he could use, which he had probably gained during the blessing rite. He decided to use them, and he spent ten points out of the hundred he had on viewing what his draconian skill actually was. The system opened the sealed skills, which turned out to be dragon eyes, might of the dragon, and devour. However, all of them were still locked and could not be used.
The might of the dragon allowed the user to make an enemy surrender by using their aura, and it required thirty points to unlock. The dragon eyes allowed the user to view detailed information about an individual, and it required twenty points to unlock. As for devour, it allowed the user to eat and digest a great deal. That skill cost fifty points to unlock, but the whole explanation left Zeke confused.
He did not know what devour actually did from the description he had been given, or why it cost fifty points. Since he was not ready to take a chance, he decided to get something straightforward instead. Zeke spent fifty points to unlock both the dragon eyes and the might of the dragon. Because the might of the dragon seemed too dangerous to use in an enclosed space, Zeke decided he would try out the dragon eyes instead.
He activated the eyes but saw nothing different, which left him disappointed. However, he realised there was a big change when he walked to the window to see what was going on outside. There was a statue far away in the centre of the garden, and thanks to the dragon eyes, the statue looked as though it were right in front of him.
Zeke was still celebrating this when the skill asked him whether he was willing to check detailed information. Zeke went ahead with it, and he was blown away when he realised that the eyes had dissected everything he needed to know. Suddenly, he felt exhausted, and he dropped into his chair. It turned out that the draconian skills took too much energy, and Zeke started to believe that they would be useless to him if they were this exhausting to use.
Suddenly, the healing and vigour recovery skills activated, which shocked Zeke, since he had no intention of using healing. He immediately went through the system, and he was shocked to see that his class skills had all become passive abilities. With the healing factor ability, his body repaired itself automatically. The moment Zeke saw it, he realised just how far beyond his old skill this was.
Healing had been considered overpowered, but it could not be spammed, and its effects were limited. The healing factor was completely different, because it was infinite. Excited and curious, Zeke decided that he needed to test the skill. Zeke grabbed a knife and cut himself on the arm. The moment he did, the healing factor kicked in, and the arm was healed.
Zeke did not want to believe his eyes, because he had just stumbled upon a pile of gold. Zeke confidently declared that he was going to graduate from the academy, a course that usually took five years.
Soon afterwards, Zeke arrived at the Draegar Academy, the dream of anyone aspiring to become a knight. The higher students in the academy had been trained to perfection, and there was little to no difference between them and adults. However, Zeke still saw them as children. Zeke was disappointed and disgusted by the fact that the whole family was rotten to the core.
There were three great houses supporting the transcendent Draegar family, and they were called the great families. There was the Torin family, known for their strength. There were also the Ziemans, known for their wisdom. Then there was Vardeck, known for their gold.
Zeke made his way to the high-class dormitory located in the Platinum Mansion. Zeke was happy to be a pureblood because of the advantages that came with it. The high-class dormitory was furnished with a training hall, a library, and various kinds of facilities that were only open to the highest ranked students.
Even those from the cradle could not simply walk in. However, purebloods were given the special privilege of a floor master. They had an entire floor known as the platinum floor to themselves, and as things stood, Zeke and Reina were the only purebloods among their year. Upon entering the building, Zeke was welcomed by an assistant who told him that he would escort him to his assigned room. Zeke was surprised to see a whole line of students waiting to welcome him, and he thought it was too much.
The attendant then told him that Decker was waiting for him in his room. Upon entering, Zeke asked Decker what he wanted, and Decker revealed that there was something he had to deliver. Decker handed him a pair of gloves that had been specially made for him, carrying the Draegar insignia. Zeke was happy to have the new gloves, and he decided that getting a new sword would make a lot of sense too.
Since the Duchy of Troy lay close to the mountains, it was abundant in good quality iron and excellent smiths. Decker offered to search for a decent craftsman to help, but Zeke told him there was no need, because he already had one in mind. Since he was willing to meet the blacksmith in person, Zeke told Decker to go ahead and set up an appointment for him.
Zeke gave him the name of the blacksmith, Gallion Halbert, which surprised Decker, since it was the first time he had ever heard the name. Nonetheless, he promised to contact the blacksmith immediately. Before leaving, Decker reminded him that classes started the next day, and urged Zeke to review the relevant documents before then.
After Decker's departure, Zeke sat down to assess his situation, and he worked out that he was going to have a bulk load of freedom to do what he wanted, since he was on the platinum floor.
