In fact there was no such method as the blood ritual to use the blood from high level Ki warriors. It was his special physique that actually helped him.
...
He had a unique ability that he inherited from the bloodline of his family.
However, his situation was little problematic. Up until he was in the level three of ki warrior , he did not get access to this ability of his.
He did not even have the idea of the ability he might have. It was a surprise to him when he had suddenly awakened an unique ability during a fight.
He could use his blood and ki to boost his power by a large margin. That was the sole purpose of his ability that he had awakened, but there was a catch.
No one, not even a superhuman like ki warrior would be able to survive the loss of blood on that scale.
The blood rituals came in play at this moment. Even though it was difficult and dangerous to consume and absorb the blood from high level of ki warriors, it was not instantly lethal.
The ritual had a method to slow down those side effects.
At the same time, the ability of his was actually able to accept the ritual without any threat to his life.
He could do the rituals all he wanted, just with small breaks in between them.

"Time to process it." Jaffrey said
He poured out the blood from the container into the safe space he had prepared already.
It was a kind of bath but the main ingredient here being blood instead of the herbs and water. He had to submerge his body into the blood while also controlling it to complete the ritual.
Jaffrey began, the blood made a cocoon around him. It completely sealed Jaffrey from outside world as if he was in the mother's womb again.
The ritual was really mentally exhausting but Jaffrey had quite the experience. It was not his first time when he controlled the blood of so many ki warriors.
Minutes passed, hours passed but there was no sign of Jaffrey going out of the cocoon. He was still only breathing at times as if he had gone to hibernate inside the blood.

"Ughh these fucking mammals. I don't even want your fucking child. Just leave me alone already." The crazy Alchemist shouted at the giant bear who was dangerously close to him.
He was being chased by the mother of the young bear. He was not even trying to hunt the bear or his young kid.
The Alchemist just happened to be close to the place where the bear family resided. The young bear happened to find him and made noises to attract it's deadly mother.
What could the Alchemist do? He was still a level three warrior. It did not even occur to him that he had to fight the bear. The bear was around fifteen feet in height as it angrily chased him.
He was fully focused on running away from them while he checked through his bag. He wanted to find something that would put him out of this situation.

"It was a tiring journey, really tiring one." Rae sighed as he recalled his time in the carriage.
The distance from the Earl's place to the academy was not really that far. At most, they could have travelled to the academy in two days, that too on a conservative measure.
If Rae were to drive the carriage then he was convinced that he could have completed the journey in one and a half days easily.
Even with their night stays at the inns and visits to popular sites, he was still confident to reach the Royal academy in two days.
'Ugh that kid, if not for his persistent questioning and spying on me.'
He was very disturbed and uncomfortable in the whole journey. Not only did this Serena's kid kept asking questions to him about various things but he also began to spy on Rae.
...
In the beginning, Rae thought that perhaps the kid had some doubts about his mother and Rae being in contact.
Rae was a little scared honestly. He did not want the kid to know of this debauchery that his mother Serena had committed.
Also, the problems that it would have caused to Rae himself was uncountable. So, Rae was very patient and passionate about the kid's talking and opinions.
What he actually found out was that the kid admired him because of his background.
Since Rae had an identity of a young man from the backwaters who had trained on his own, the kid kind of idolised him.
But it was already very late when Rae had found about this. By that time, almost ninety percent of the journey had been completed.
Though, knowing that the kid had no idea about Serena and him did lessen the burden on his mind .
...
In the journey, whenever the kid wanted to visit a popular site he knew about or go to the restaurant or such which he had heard about from some of his friends, Rae wholeheartedly supported him.
He wanted to get on the good side of the kid and collect some information about what the kid had in his mind.
The security and other people were not much of a hurdle against his opinions.
Since Rae had quite the influence on Serena and Alice both, the guards and the other personnel travelling together with him were very respectful of him.
At times, Rae had also shut down the mouths of some of the strong but idiotic people in the journey which cemented his position as a strong warrior.

The journey was hectic and Rae did not wish to have another such journey again. At the very least, he did not want to travel together with a kid.
At times, he had even thought of running to the academy with his own skills such as the flying skill and what not but he put down the idea instantly.
Honestly, he could have covered the distance between the academy and Serena's place within three to four hours.
The amount of ki that it would have taken him to fly that long was barely half of his total amount of ki.
