Chapter 457 - Vampires' Graduation

"Congrats for your graduation!"

That's what Albert said as we are celebrating the vampires' graduation after one month of trial living in this world.

There were no rule-breaking vampires at all. In fact, they are pretty obedience. I guess that's to be expected of the vampires who lost against us.

Though as for the vampires that the Vampire Queen brought, it was because of her that the other vampires obeyed the rule. She must be really enjoying the time in this world. At least it's much better than living in Monsters World is what Arin said. There is little to no culture in that world.

In this past month, many things happened.

After my spar with Angela that ended up rather quick for something that everyone is so hyped about, we sparred normally. Not where we're trying to defeat each other, just one where she will use new moves on me.

Seriously, had she used all these moves at that time, I would have lost. But it's great seeing that Angela is returning back to her normal way of fighting. At least if she's alone, she must never try the same thing again. Unless it's against an opponent who is clearly weaker than her. And if she's with someone else, like Kayla, Shirley, or the others, she is free to trap the enemies.

Other than me, she also asked the other to spar as well. Though after sparring with the others, she left somewhere to train. She's still in this world. Not in the Monsters World.

And I heard that she's in Mellian taking difficult quest from the guild from Hill. But now that we're celebrating the vampires' graduation, she's here after I contacted her.

As for the others, we are training normally. Sometimes, we took quests from the guild or from Albert and the nobles. I Didn't forget that we are a clan.

There were some missions which were difficult for even A-rank hunters to complete. But for us, it was easy even when I'm not participating. And taking requests from the nobles mean the reward is huge. I'm getting richer again. Though the vampires are still haven't paid their debt. But at least the two male vampires are already B-rank hunters and should be able to pay their debt soon. That was extremely quick.

Some vampires decided to try living in another place during this one month. I brought them to Melk, Mellian, Tatrama's Capital, Consenza's Imperial Capital, Varadis' Capital, and also to Arturo where Bernard's mansion is.

I told them to only move within those area since the influence of the cult are bigger outside of those area. Especially in Arturo.

They not only go there for sightseeing. They also took requests from the guild from time to time. And they helped the guards who have been told that they are vampires to keep the peace.

Some of the vampires even managed to capture some cult members. And those cult members exploded their head when they are captured by the vampires and have their blood drained. But it was okay for the vampires since they can just regenerate their own head.

Then, the vampires told me that they don't want to suck the blood of the cultist. Because even though their blood tastes delicious, the blood used to regenerate their lost head was much more than the blood they can get from drinking the blood of those who exploded their own heads.

Even though they said that, they still drink a lot of blood. At least enough for them to gain some weight. In fact, I was surprised to see that they can still gain some weight. I thought it was something magical that won't let them gain weight after drinking a lot of blood. But I guess overdrinking blood can still make them fat. Though since they can manipulate blood, it was no problem for them to lose all that extra weight.

Other than that, what we found about the blood was interesting. In the right place, the blood that we have drained and put into the blood bag, can stay for three weeks and still be able to be used. Though I don't think they can last for too long. Maybe thirty or forty days. But at least that's a good discovery. As for the taste, the vampires said that they are still good after three weeks.

And I also used my own body for the experiment. Although no one else has the same blood type as I am, and it hasn't been discovered yet by the researchers, we tried to infuse my own blood that has been taken, to my own body. And it worked! It was a crazy idea, but it's something important to me.

As someone who will most likely bleed a lot since I'm fighting in close range, this discovery means a lot for my survival. Maybe in difficult situation, I can decide to be more reckless rather than escaping. Though I still prefer to escape.

"Well, aren't they lively?"

After Albert giving the speech, he and the other kings approached me.

"What are you going to do with the vampires?" I asked them.

"For now, we will ask them what they want to do. We also asked some individual vampire if they want to come to our country. Trying to befriend them will benefit us a lot," old man Henry said.

"So that's why you're sending them to different country? Well, if you think that's good, then it's fine."

"Yeah. But we will respect their decision. We will ask them what they want in this banquet," Albert said.

The main reason why we did this banquet for the vampires' graduation is because the vampires wanted to wear the fancy dress that they bought. They don't have any reason to put on those dress for daily lives. And if they wore those dresses, they might cause trouble instead since they are not from nobility.

But it's not only the vampires who are wearing fancy dresses. The others also do the same. Oleg, Hill, and even Kron.

As for Oleg, he brought his family with him. That's why he can't afford to wear his usual clothes. His wife nagged him to wear something fancy. His wife is happily showing off her dress to the other ladies. As for their children, they are playing with Daniel and the others.

Everyone here can be trusted. That's why even though a commoner's wife is talking with the queen, it was fine. Though in any other event, such thing will be punished harshly.

Well, it's just the usual for us.

After the banquet proceeded for a while, everyone is gathered around the vampires. Albert is going to ask them what they want to do.

Some of them want to stay in Cassau, but some want to go somewhere else they like. Some wanted to travel around the continent. But they are all agreed on one thing. They will help us in the war against the cult.

At first, some of them doesn't want it. But now, all of them want to fight the cult. Maybe I can ask Arin to go back to her world and get more vampires with us.

"I'll go whenever my master is going," Eve said. She's the only one who has a master. And seems like the two are getting along well.

"Carrie and I will stay in Cassau. We even applied to be a member of Roy's clan."

The Vampire Queen and the Vampire Duke from the opposing party, ended up becoming best friends. Just how did that happen? I missed a lot of things.

When I asked Kayla, she said that because Carrie is not originally Arin's subordinate, her point of view is different. Most of Arin's subordinate are not her friends. They are just her subordinates, and treated her as a queen. But that's not the case with Carrie, so Arin liked being with her.

"Tonight, I want to announce my wedding. I know that many of you will be busy, but you are all invited to my wedding," One of the male vampires said.

…isn't he the one who stays here because of his sister? Not because she's trying to woo another vampire? How did he ended up becoming the first to get married between the two?

When I asked Kayla, she said that the other vampire was rejected. But he stands back up again and now is targeting another vampire. Seems like they progressed better with his current target than with his previous crush.

Well, as long as he won't cause any trouble, it's fine. I think the two male vampires have also started enjoying their lives in this world as well. Especially since most monsters here are much weaker. They don't have to worry about their own safety, and as long as they don't break the rules, they can live peacefully. Though they still love drinking blood and that's why they agreed to join in the war.

After the banquet is over, I transported all the vampires to where they want to go, and get the guests back to their home.

Five days later, we attended the vampire couple's wedding. Although some of them are busy, they can still watch the wedding live from TV while doing their work.

When I asked Arin, it was the very first vampire wedding. Vampire doesn't have the tradition of getting married. They choose their partner and that's that. I guess this is a breakthrough for the vampires to really coexist with humans.

Though it's a marriage between vampires. Maybe one day there will be a marriage between human and vampire. But looking at the difference in our lifespans, it will be difficult.

Well, at least I'm not busy with the vampires anymore. Now, I can focus on my preparation for the raid. And the date for the raid has been set. One week before the tournament.

After the lab is destroyed, during the tournament, the cult will make a move.. I hope things will go well.
