Chapter 5: Towards The Vampire Academy

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.

It's because the Sun wasn't that it was hidden with magic, as he came to think. It had simply been destroyed.

Yes, the famous and acclaimed Dietrich Clan of the past, the greatest Saint Clan of the Vampiric World, had destroyed the Sun at some point in its history, thus bringing vampiric supremacy to the world.

As absurd as it sounds, it is a reality written in historical books from millions of years ago, so Matt could only believe it.

Although he was stunned just thinking about how stupidly strong one would have to be to destroy the Sun.

Still, it's just one issue he learned about or noticed.

Another thing is that the technology in this world is ambiguous if he compares it to the technology on Earth.

'Cars are just starting to appear worldwide, and trains aren't as fast... Although they are better designed than the first ones to come out on Earth.' Matt thought as he watched each change cross before his gaze.

Matt could understand it well because this world was a world of magic.

In fact, people occasionally flew by, and it was more convenient to move at that speed than in a car on the road. They could even run faster than a car or a train. No matter how he looked at it, it was more convenient to move at that speed, so he understood why there was no great technological advancement in this world.

'Although... Maybe it's not entirely because of that. I think they're just focusing on advancing the technologies that serve them and leaving the rest as is.' Matt thought as he rode the train, looking at a vast flying ship nearby.

It was flying like an airplane, but it ran on a different kind of technology and was as big as a cruise ship.

The cost of maintaining something like that had to be extremely high, so he was sure that only highly wealthy people could have something like that.

Even so, that level of technology did not exist in his world because it didn't seem to be flying on fuel, if not mana.

'What an interesting way to give electricity.' Matt thought.

So, their journey continued smoothly, and a few days later, the train stopped in Academic City.

"Matt, we are already inside the academy grounds. Let's send your details for registration and then go straight to the academy." Alice said, smiling as she pulled him to walk through the city.

Matt noticed several things while walking in this beautiful city. The infrastructure was a little worse than Allen City, but it was still better than any city in his world.

Plus, how this beautiful infrastructure from medieval times blended with those three moons in the sky constantly told Matt that he was in a fantasy world.

A world that Charlotte would have loved to see because of her love of fantasy.

'If you're not here, even if I have to fight death, someday I'll come looking for you to show you.' Matt thought, remembering his wife.

Then, he turned his attention to other things.

The first of these is the number of vampires that were in this place.

From rich vampires walking the streets to poor vampires begging on the side of the road.

They were all vampires, but not all of them were powerful.

Getting blood from a vampire-compatible race is not accessible for these poor people, who don't even have enough to eat. That is why many of the poor vampires, if they manage to capture a human, treasure him almost with all their souls and make sure not to kill him because that will be the source of their power and food until they are strong.

Still, impoverished people don't have the opportunity for that, so they can only beg on the sidewalks.

Here, vampires with money often help them. It is a tremendous contrast to humanity on Earth, which gradually becomes colder at heart, even to the point of betraying their heroes.

Here, it is common to see rich people approach poor people to give them some bags of blood that are expensive or provide them with food; even many of these poor people become subordinates and get paid, so although there are poor people on the sidewalks, there are not as many as in various cities of the Earth.

'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.
