Chapter 34: A problem
His answer and the determination with which he said it made Matt deeply stunned to hear it.
Reagan Cooper looked at him and smiled at seeing him like that, "I was just like you when I came to that conclusion; how the hell did they manage to improve vampirism and pass it down from generation to generation? That's why I admire them more than any existence." He replied.
But Matt's surprise was naturally not because of that.
'An Enhanced Vampirism... Isn't that my Dietrich Vampirism? And it bears his name... Do I really belong to the Dietrich Clan? If that were the case, how the hell am I still alive?' He thought in shock when he heard Reagan Cooper say this.
His shock was so tremendous that it didn't even allow him to react.
Reagan Cooper didn't notice his anomaly so much, so he continued talking.
"The two clues I can give you is for you to get that information on your own. The first clue is in the Central Library of the Central Region of the 5 Kingdoms. It is the most important independent city in the world. The second clue... It has something to do with the Heirs." Reagan Cooper said, smiling. Then he sat down, lowered his voice, and whispered to Matt.
"A little secret that not many know. The Vampire Clans have a slight bloodline from the Vampires of 10 million years ago. That is why they are considered 'Vampire Royalty', and it is also why their heirs can enter the Divine City, which is where they can receive their inheritances. Inside the Divine City is a huge library that holds a lot of important secrets of this world and its races." Reagan Cooper said and stood up.
"If you ever get the chance to go there, go to the library and investigate. Although you would need to be a Heir, it is unfortunate that you were not born among those Clans. But, if you ask Miss Alice to research when she has to go to receive her own inheritance, she can give you more information about it.
With that, he finished what he wanted to say, and Matt looked thoughtful for several minutes as he processed that information.
"What are the requirements to enter that Divine City?" he asked.
"Having an Inheritance Token and being able to activate it. The requirements to meet those two conditions are to take the Inheritance Token from an Inheritor and at the same time have royal blood of the ancestors in your veins." He replied, causing Matt to frown.
Still, the information he had obtained this time was precious, so he didn't overthink things.
"Thank you for answering my questions, Professor Reagan." Matt replied sincerely, and Reagan Cooper smiled.
"That's okay, kiddo. I have high expectations of you, so I'll give you some good advice: never challenge the Heirs. They are more powerful than you think. Even Miss Alice should not be challenged easily, for though she may appear tender, she has a dangerous side to her." He said. Matt thanked him for his advice and prepared to leave.
But just at those moments, a teacher came running into the room without knocking, causing Reagan Cooper to scowl at him.
"Is something wrong?" he asked when he noticed this guy was practically sweating.
"Professor Reagan, a big problem has occurred in the mountains, and the directors are calling us. It seems that the devourers have started attacking in some places." Replied the professor, who had just walked in quickly, causing Reagan Cooper to get up and follow him quickly.
"Kid, we'll talk later. Be careful going back." He said and then disappeared into the distance.
Matt frowned, 'Are the devourers attacking?' He thought and quickly left as well.
With many questions and answers in his head.
But, right now, he was sure of one thing.
He was not normal, and the body where he had been reborn was more special than he had imagined. There was an immense possibility that he belonged to that Clan from the past, for his vampirism was undoubtedly better than the rest.
Still, the questions about how he got here grew louder. If he were of Clan Dietrich, he would be in a different era than his Clan. And he's in a different world to begin with, too, because he wasn't a Vampire until recently!
'Although the truth is that I'm a Vampire now, it's not bad living as one either. I like it better than living with those traitors of the human race.' Matt thought, smiling.
Besides, his determination has found a new target.
Perhaps he had asked the right questions this time because once he learned that it was possible to reach the existence of a 'Vampire Progenitor,' a flame began to burn inside him. A flame he could not extinguish, with a tremendous desire to become as strong as those existences of the past.
Also, if what Professor Reagan said is correct, being a Vampire Progenitor, he could travel to other worlds.
'Whether Charlotte is in this world or on earth or further away, only by getting to that level will I be able to go find her.' Matt thought, and then a mischievous grin formed on his face after remembering his other goal.
'Besides... Those bastards won't go unpunished. If I can travel back to earth and they're still alive, I'll put them through living hell.' He said to himself as the hatred in his mind bubbled up like a large amount of lava ready to burst.
He calmed down soon after, though when he saw Isla waiting for him, sitting on the steps of the Academy.
"Matt!" She said with a tender smile at seeing him and got up.
Matt nodded to her, "Let's go back; I'm done talking to the professor."
Soon, they were both training in the training room of the villa where they were staying.
The pounding and their words echoed in this room until midnight, and they went to sleep.
.
The following day, the situation woke them up with tremendous news.
"Surely you have heard the news. The devourers are attacking from the mountains and want to enter our Academy. They are taking advantage of the time when the first Academy is busy with the battle of halls and other important preparations to attack us."
"Still, the strength they are using does not seem to be too much. A quick study by the Kingdom and the Academy showed that the strongest devourers are only in the 3,500 power. That is why the Academy decided to make this a test for the students. You will participate in this battle, going to the mountains to face them and kill these devourers; for every head you bring back of these guys, you will receive numerous rewards. Many students from the third Academy were chosen to participate in the battle and will be led by members of our Second Level Academy."
"Matt, Caspian, and Isla. You three will receive a group of 10 students from the third Academy. The rest of you will be assigned between groups, as you lack sufficient power to lead those students."
"This test will be important for their future ascension, and both leaders and non-leaders have an equal chance of passing the test. You have all day to prepare; you will leave tomorrow morning to meet the Kingdom forces on the ground."
His words were meant to surprise them; even so, knowing that they would fight against devourers ignited the blood of many of them, even more so when they knew that there would be rewards in the end.
The whole second Academy shouted for joy in those moments, even though most of them didn't really understand what it meant to fight against devourers.
