Aragis West High School, Aragis South, Aragis East and Aragis North, these are the 4 biggest schools in the dungeon city of Aragis, and these four schools are filled with clans created by high school students, why? because of the dungeons, but the long answers would be money, power and opportunity.
In Aragis city you can enter the dungeon starting at the age of 15, this coincides with entering high school and there is a mandatory rule to enter the dungeon in the 1st grade of high school, here the students suddenly gain new powers and a sense of superiority that will determine their lives, if you are strong, people will follow you and obey you, this alone is a clear rule of the jungle.
But creating unofficial clans like this is not meaningless, you can dive into the dungeon by taking advantage of clans that are related to you, making money and a name for yourself.
The method is very easy, if you are strong, create a clan and use it wholeheartedly, choose strong members as your party members, make profitable rules such as payment for entering your group, monthly subscriptions, or make them report the loot they get in the dungeon, do business with other clans such as selling magic items and equipment, or even lending or selling your talented members for a suitable fee, there are countless ways and profits you can take.
And for the members, there are many benefits, even if you are weak, if you join a clan, you can find party members to dive into the depths of the dungeon, get money and goods, and if you are strong, you could get into the inner circle of the clan, getting greater benefits and protection, even becoming famous and accepting offers from other clans.
Not to mention that real and official clans of adventurers often use these high school clans as scouts for new talent to add to their ranks.
This makes these high school groups and clans very rich and powerful, some even act as an official branch for real adventurer clans.
Even when most of the students weren't affiliated with these clans and lived their lives normally, the creation of groups, gangs and clans like this is so widespread that high schools in the Aragis city created official organizations to prevent the clans from becoming too powerful.
And for Aragis West High School, it was the Silver Claws, their mission was to keep the high school clans from crossing the line and protecting other students, but in the end, they themselves are a clan that does the same as the others, to scout new talents and gain profit, the only different was the school can take its fair share.
I don't know what the school and government are doing, but they all turn a blind eye to a considerable extent, so if you make trouble with the powerful students and clans in this school, let alone your school life, your own life could be in danger, this is one The dark side of the dungeon city, the strong will bite and the weak will be eaten, if you want to survive, you must not remain silent and people like me would definitely be targeted because of discrimination toward my job class.
That's why I decided to join the three of them, if people find out that I have a vampire job class, I don't know what will happen, what's more, I plan to become an adventurer, so at least I want a little grip in fighting the monsters at this school.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to present the information gathering that I've been doing for a week, here are several groups that we might be able to conquer" Gako smiled with his usual sly smile.
Listening in silence, Gako continued "The first one is called the Rusty Crowbar" The image on his laptop screen changed to a photo of several students in shabby jackets.
"There are 8 members, they are all first-year students just like us, and I have confirmed that none of them have ever entered a dungeon"
"ohh! this is perfect! we might be able to beat them!" Gordon said excitedly.
"That's right! It might be a bit difficult, but they are our best chance to make a name for ourselves, the four strongest tigers" Gako said happily.
Smiling wryly hearing the name of our group, I opened my mouth "No, they won't affect our popularity even if we beat them"
"But Ren, they have the fewest members"
"Trust me"
"Okay, if you say so" Gako continued his presentation, the screen changed again to a group of students wearing dark red jackets with fish painting on their backs, Gako was pretty good to be able to collect all these photos.
"And the next one is a group called the Red Arowana, consisting of 15 people, three of them entered the dungeon two days ago"
"How do you know this?"
"Hehehe that's the easiest part, they show it off to everyone"
"I see"
"Ren, I think this is beyond our reach," Kita said to me and Gako nodded in agreement.
"Tch, why do I have to be so weak!" Gordon said in frustration, but I feel like this one is still too weak, if the next one is too strong then this group will do it, for now I want something a little stronger.
"It's okay, it doesn't mean we're going to hit them right now, right? Let's see what's next," I spoke casually.
"Okay, this is the last one, I gathered this last information just because there happened to be information about them" The screen changed to a group photo of 20 people with light blue jackets and a bird symbol on their left chest.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
"This group is on the rise, consisting of 20 people, 10 have entered the dungeon, I heard their levels range from 5 to 10, the type of job class is unknown but they are all 1st class students, and are starting to try to recruit members on a large scale, their names were the White Raven" Gako said, closing his explanation
"I understand" Closing my eyes, I reviewed the information I received, the Rusty Crowbar was out of options, so only the Red Arowana and the white Raven were left, the Red Arowana should be perfect, I might be able to fight the White Raven but the risk was too big, they were probably already have ties to other groups, or have support behind them.
I have decided.
Getting up from my seat, I dusted off the dirt on my trousers. "So Ren, which one should we fight?" Gako asked me.
"Hm? Why are you asking me, I'm not the leader of this group?" This group does not have a leader and everything is only done in unison, but I will change that, looking at the three, I chuckled and started to walk away.
"Oi! Ren! Where are you going?!" Gordon asked from behind, looking behind me, I spoke with a sly smile on my face "I'm going to beat up some fish"
If I want to be successful as an adventurer, I have to harden my resolve, if everyone knows we are strong they wouldn't screw us so easily, we could also gain connection and alliances with other clans for our own safety.
I need to do this for Lisa and the orphanage children, for myself and for a good future, I can't change the destiny that has already happened, so I will fight using this destiny for the better future I want.
I would change my life.
"Ren! Don't you want to think about it first!" walking around the building, Gako, Gordon and Kita chased me from behind.
"Gako, are they in this building?" asked Gako I looked towards the abandoned building that was used as a headquarters for the thugs.
"Yes! They occupy one of the rooms at the end of the hall on the first floor! But we can't go there right away, right?!" Gako begged me, while Gordon and Kita followed behind.
"Do you have a plan Ren?" Gordon asked me a little hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I do have a plan and we'll get a room soon, so we don't have to gather at the garbage dump anymore" Smiling happily, I opened my status.

---------------------
level 12, this is my result from hunting on the 1st floor of Canaria dungeon for more than two months, I heard this level is strong enough for a high school kid who just entered school, while someone like Leon is very talented beyond ordinary people, with this it should be enough to defeat a newly formed random clan.
I have used 50 of my status points, while I still saved all my skill points, Meridiem Vampire is a type of job class that focuses more on close combat, different from other types of vampire job classes such as pure blood vampires who focus on magic or shadow vampires who focus on stealth and critical attack,
with my current strength and skills I am sure I can win, but it is better to have additional insurance.
Allocating 20 points to strength and 10 points to speed, I felt my body getting stronger, a sense of power spreading throughout my body.
I also used 12 skill points to raise my Martial Arts level to level 5 and another 14 for dark magic level 5, I had tried dark magic occasionally in the dungeon when no one was looking, but level one magic was limited to some basic spells such as dark magic bullet and dark smokes, naturally the attack power was low, I had no intention of using my magic, but this was to ensure a landslide victory.

The preparation is complete, although it's a bit overkill, we should be able to win easily.
"Can we really win?" Gordon asked me again.
"Yes, Yes, we would win" I said Casually.
"Hmm, okay, I believe you" Gordon said with a serious expression and rolled up his sleeves to show his arm muscles.
"Are you two serious?! We'll be beaten up!" Gako said with tears in his eyes and ran towards Kita "Kita! Please help me stop these two crazy madlads!"
Walking silently while chewing on her nail under her mask, Kita answered with resignation "I'm not sure Gako, but if it's like this, it can't be helped, I have no other place besides this group, so I'll do my best"
"Ah! This is so stupid!" Gako shouted in frustration, but before I could say anything, Gordon opened his mouth.
"Don't worry Gako, since the first time I met Ren, I realized there was something different about him, I even suspected he was stronger than me" Gordon said with a smile, but his words made my heart cold and made my feet stop, turning back, I spoke with a smile "You have good eyes Gordon, how much do you know? Do you have an appraisal skill?"
Seeing my smile, the three of them flinched a little, the appraisal skill is a skill that allows you to see other people's status, but it is a very rare skill, even rarer than the vampire job class, but it does not rule out the possibility that he has it.
Seeing my expression, Gordon quickly answered "No, I've never even entered a dungeon, the seniors always promise to invite me but in the end I never go" Gordon said with sweat on his face.
hmm, it seems like he's telling the truth, well, that was close, I don't like people peeking into me, not only because of the risk of my job class being found out "I understand, sorry for accusing you"
continuing to walk, they followed me with firm expressions on their faces, tried to lighten the mood a bit, I spoke "Did you know that I've been leveling in the dungeon for a while now"
Following me from behind, Gako raised his voice in understanding "Oh! I understand! You're an adventurer! that's why you're so confident!" Gako jumped up and down in joy, while Gordon and Kita quickly approached me.
"Is that true Ren?! I knew you were special!" patting my shoulder happily, Gordon smiled at me.
"You're so cool Ren, how does it feel to level up? My Sister always brags about it" Kita asked me curiously.
"Calm down everyone, I'll take you guys into the dungeon someday" I tried to calm them down, but they just got louder.
"Really?! Hooray! I'm finally going into the dungeon!" Gako shouted.
"Thank you my friend!" Gordon cried on my shoulder, although it wasn't too heavy but it was hard to walk.
"Are you serious about asking me Ren!" Kita said in surprise.
"Yes, yes, it's easy, please calm down" trying to calm them down without I realized, we had arrived in front of the old building.
I hope no one sees this...
