Chapter 5: Towards The Vampire Academy
Several days later...
During these days, Matt had learned quite a bit about this world. He read many books for that and stayed close to Gray, as Gray agreed to teach him things.
He not only trained but also taught him on an academic level so he wouldn't have any problems. You could say he was being like a teacher to him now.
Gray took it upon himself to tell him everything he needed to know.
The Heirs, for example. They are a group of 14 individuals who have the Inheritance Tokens. There are 2 for each Vampiric Clan in the 5 Kingdoms.
Even if they are Heirs and allude to being minors, the truth is that they are not weak at all. Maybe only Alice is weak in this group because the other 13...
They are practically monsters with extremely high power.
Furthermore, the status of these 14 people is overwhelming in the five realms, at the level of Kings, and they are only below Vampire Clan Leaders, such as Gray Allen.
Although Matt doesn't know their power level, he's sure it's over 15 thousand, which is absurdly high.
After all, he had been experiencing difficult training these last few days, and his strength had barely increased, even with his special vampirism.
.
Matt and Alice were at the mansion entrance, about to leave, while Gray showed them a few more things.
"Kid, don't forget my gifts; they'll help you catch up. Also, take advantage of your power. I've noticed that you're not normal; your increase in power is incredible, even if it doesn't seem that way to you. Therefore, you must take advantage of your advantages if you want to go far."
"Before you go, I must warn you of one thing. Even though you are under the Clan Allen banner, there are 3 clans you should beware of." He said and pulled out three different tokens.
"Clan Relish, Clan Edevane, and Clan Becker. The latter can be ignored, but the first two can't." He said, putting particular emphasis on the last he had said.
"Of those clans, you should watch out for two people." He said and frowned slightly after coming here.
"Cecily Edevane and Charles Relish." He said and stressed it once again, telling them that, under no circumstances could they make enemies of the two of them.
Although it surprised Matt, he nodded and didn't ask why.
He didn't want to get in trouble right now. He's so weak, so it's best not to get close to dangerous people.
Once he finished telling them that, a small car came to pick them up.
It was a car with a unique and exciting design, much like the first cars that appeared on Earth.
The Vampire Academy is not close to Allen City. In fact, it is pretty far away, to say the least.
You don't just have to take this car. The car will take you to the train station.
Once there, the train will take them to the nearest Academic City and then on to another long horseback ride.
During Matt's ride, he noticed several things.
The first of them is that this world had no sun, and he is stunned when he finds out how the hell is possible.
'The Dietrich Clan of old was so strong, it's absurd just to think about it.' Was his only thought when he heard about this.
'In the end, even though it's a magical vampire world, it can't escape the problems of being a society. This is much better, though.' Matt thought as he walked through the long, bustling streets alongside Alice.
Alice was enjoying this good scenery with a smile, telling Matt several things while he was asking her others.
At that moment, Matt asked about vampire slaves of other vampires, and she looked at him with surprise and shook her head quickly.
"No, no, that's a lousy practice, Matt. We are forbidden to take vampires as slaves because that would sink our own race. Even half-vampires who were born of other races, such as humans, are treated as vampires as long as they want to live as one." She replied, surprising Matt with her response.
It seemed as if she was afraid to talk about that subject.
'Shit, this is a fantasy world that doesn't come up in human stories. Even in my world, those high-level hunter-bastards wouldn't stop taking other humans as slaves, and here they have that good of a thought?' Matt thought.
Such a thought, if his world had had it... Maybe they could have gotten rid of the Ice Emperor a lot sooner.
Matt couldn't help but compare this world to his previous one and realize that humans were rotten inside.
'They need a quick cleanup...' Matt thought, with a sinister smile. He wiped it off soon after, though.
After sightseeing, they went to the academy headquarters in this city and sent Matt's information to the academy for registration.
This was a quick and unhindered process, so they soon rented a carriage, and that same day, they left the city, heading for the real Vampire Academy.
That same night, where they were camping.
"Matt, are you really okay with being my subordinate? I'm not strong; among the Heirs, I'm the weakest." She said as they both ate dinner.
Matt looked at her and smiled, "So far, are you going to ask? It's been several days since then; don't think about it." He replied, and she sighed.
"If you don't want to, you can still take it back, although you certainly couldn't get into the Academy." She spoke. Her sad look was staring at her plate of food.
Matt smiled, "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word, and there's no going back now. We have to get strong together, and that's it." He replied.
As soon as she heard this, Alice was surprised and looked at him. Her cheeks blushed intensely. She thought Matt understood the meaning of those words, so her mind was speechless, staring at him.
Matt turned to look at her doubtfully, "Is something wrong?" he asked dubiously, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"No... Nothing." She spoke.
Matt looked at her, and doubt took over his mind, though he could only think that she had accepted it and continued eating.
A few minutes later, Alice was about to speak again, but Matt turned his head abruptly.
Without thinking, he lunged at Alice, covering her mouth with his hand and falling to the ground on top of her.
Alice looked at him in shock as a flood of strange thoughts entered her mind.
She stared at him in shock.
'What? What do you want to do? Really? Here? Do you want us to take that step? But we haven't even agreed? Really?' Her mind was filled with constant questions, but just as she was about to speak, she noticed an attack rush past where she was before and hit a nearby tree hard.
"Miss, there are two of them. They're not that strong, but they're strange." Matt said, and just then, two figures showed themselves on the side of the nearby trees.
"Devourers!" Alice shouted in shock.
