"No," Orlaf shook his head, "that's good, it's pretty good actually."
Arthur glanced weirdly at him while Orlaf kept explaining:
"A gem like you being in an already successful academy would need much work and effort to shine and dominate on internal things there. Yet in such a lousy academy, you only need to show them your real strength, aid them a couple of times and help in raising their status among other academies and they'll worship you."
Arthur understood the logic behind his words. "Being the strongest wolf in the wolf pack is much better than being a mere lion amongst lions," he muttered.
"Yes, but you won't be the strongest wolf," Orlaf laughed, "you'll miraculously change all these wolves and turn them with you into lions."
"Hehehe," Arthur laughed before adding, "alright, I like this plan."
"And like you kid," Orlaf suddenly waved his swords to cleave the air before adding, "make sure you won't die until we meet next," he passed into the opening he created, "at the higher realms with your mighty academy."
Arthur watched the hole closing fast before swearing, "I promise you this is what will happen."
He took a deep breath while his system muttered:
"Ding! Change in plans?"
"Sure," he nodded, "I thought this would be my own base and world to depend upon," he shook his head before adding, "yet this is nothing, sigh I need one hundred worlds to conquer and the hardest of all is that academy and its world."
"Orlaf's words are indeed right," the golden dragon said, "up there no one is alone ever. All belong to something one way or another."
"Can't I just prove myself worthy to any higher academy up there to adopt me?" he knew this new path was such a lengthy path for him. "I'll have many troubles if I hit this road."
"It's a bumpy road, I admit," the golden dragon said before adding, "yet depending on lucky encounters with those high up academies isn't a good thing. You need to rely solely on your own strength and on what you can guarantee right now."
"Meaning I'll have to follow this plan?" Arthur sighed before adding, "no other options here?"
"Unfortunately nill," the golden dragon said.
"Ding! Don't worry, as that Orlaf mentioned, your academy isn't that high and mighty. You'll find it easy for you to make progress easily and prove yourself worthy."
"Tsk," Arthur was still skeptical regarding this, "this isn't about me getting their acknowledgment, it's about me competing with those top masters out there and beating them all to be the dean."
"Ding! You aren't that weak either," the system consoled.
"And you got the two of us behind you," the golden dragon said, "don't worry much and trust more in your abilities."
"Alright," Arthur had to accept this outcome, "saying this I have to focus more on building strong relations with everyone."
"Ding! Not only that, you need to seek ways to help the academy grow and your deed to be well known to all," the system said.
"You just need to ask for the toughest mission out there and complete it brilliantly."
"Ding! Great advice."
"You two…" Arthur had his eyes twitched from their words, "I'm not that mighty and invincible to accept such risky missions! Plus I still have this world to conquer."
"Ding! You need to decrease your presence here and reserve your strength more."
"Agreed, laying low now is important."
Arthur understood their worry. "Afraid of facing other mighty bounty hunters?" he smiled helplessly and the silence he got back was enough as an answer. "Tsk, yet you have a point here."
He glanced all around before sighing, "I planned to conquer this clan first."
"Ding! You should do this before heading back to the academy. After all your time here is limited."
"You're right," Arthur smiled while he got his energy back, "I should at least garnish what's mine here before going anywhere else."
"But if you found any pillar like this ever again, run," the golden dragon warned, "not all are so nice as this berserker."
"I understand," Arthur nodded before shifting his gaze upon the short pillar on the ground, "can I take it?"
"Ding! Sure, touch it and I'll send it into your world."
"With my blood?"
"Ding! In the usual way."
Arthur went towards the pillar and the moment he left his blood mark upon it the pillar shone with blue light first before fading away.
"Interesting," Arthur muttered, "what's all this about?"
"Ding! I believe your energy is something that the pillar recognizes," the system explained.
"I… have no link to berserkers!"
"You don't need to have a link to some clan to be recognized by their fallen ones," the golden dragon said before adding, "your level of energy is something the fallen berserker here acknowledged."
"Interesting," Arthur smiled before putting his hand over it, "go inside."
The pillar vanished and he glanced around. "Come back," he took the scorpion queen back while she had already killed her foes a long time ago and was now lying silently on the ground.
"Now let's clear this entire region clean," he smirked before flapping his wings and rising fast to the clouds.
Despite his new gained speed, it took him days to just cover part of the vast territory of this clan. During these days he kept attacking everywhere he could reach, and his system helped in scouting the miles around him all the time.
He didn't see anything disturbing until five days later. It was a grand fortress that obviously belonged to the Amazor clan.
"Another fortress," he muttered as this wasn't the first one to meet. He wasn't so enthusiastic about conquering these fortresses except for the stores they had.
He had many riches gained from these stores, while he preferred to better get more population right now than resources.
He planned to gain as many people as possible, allowing his young city to flourish and make the firm base of his future empire.. Not this empire had another goal to aim at, which was to dominate the dorgazire academy.
