Vampire's Slice Of Life

“Father, what’s the meaning of this?”

Graham Novius rubbed his temples. He wondered what happened that changed his hardworking son who respected and revered him to a brat who just gave out respect due to fear. He let out a sigh and said to him,

“Some things happened, you were out of control and we had to take measures to cure you. If you feel you’re forgetting something, that’s due to the effect of the pill taken to cure you.”

Graham snapped his fingers and the chains broke, freeing Liam. He got up from the bed and rubbed his wrist and to ease the pain. His body was that of a mortal currently due to being rank 2 and violently moving around his limbs while locked by chains caused bruises on him and were now aching.

Though there were good amount of bruises, Liam felt it wasn’t much for some reason. He didn’t understand why he didn’t feel too pained but whatever the case, it didn’t hurt him much so he didn’t bother. He looked at his father and said with an indifferent face,

“I don’t know what happened but I would just tell you one thing. Ensure you don’t lock me up like this next time.”

Graham raised an eyebrow in surprise as Liam talked back to him with utter disrespect. He however didn’t say anything back to him and left the room, leaving Liam alone.

Liam sat on the bed and thought to himself, ‘what did that bastard father of mine do? Why was I chained up like that? What the fuck happened? And why the fuck am I here in Auckland right now? Shouldn’t be on a mission in Haslingberg?

My memory… that bastard definitely did something and it got erased. One day, I’ll definitely take revenge for this one day. I never thought bad of you due to you being the father of this body but now this crossing line. Grahaman Novius… one day, I’ll take my revenge one day for this.’

Liam then got up and searched for a token that the vice principal gave him. It was a teleportation token which could have him go back and forth from the academy. However, just as he tried to put his spiritual power into his ring, he realised he had no ring on him.

He searched his body for every other artifact or items that he had on it and realised he had nothing on him at all. He stomped his foot in anger and thought to himself,

‘Graham, just what the fuck did you do? Where are all the items I collected with my hard earned money?’

He left the room to go search for his Graham Novius to have a talk with him.

…

In a dorm room, neither too far away, nor too close from the main building of the academy.

A silver portal opened up and out of it came out a black-haired, black-eyed teen. As soon as he got out, the portal closed, leaving the teen alone in his room.

It was Lucas who just got out. He raised his fist in the air and said cheerfully, “finally! That damn dungeon was cleared!”

Though he seemed cheerful and happy, his clothes and he himself was in a very poor and sorry state. He had blood of various colour and claw marks on his whole body, his clothes were tattered and his skin seemed so pale that he seemed sick.

A second later, Lucas sighed and muttered to himself, “sigh, the dungeon could’ve been cleared in a much better faster and efficient way. I messed up just a bit and it snowballed somehow. This mere D class dungeon took me 2 days to clear; I really need to polish my skills.”

“Open pending missions.”

A string of words in white appeared in his mind on a blue screen and a cold mechanical voice rang out that read these words and stated,

[Opening pending missions…]

D class mission [Capture/Kill Liam].

After looking at the time remaining, Lucas sighed and muttered to himself, “2 days left huh… sigh, it seems I need to make a move quickly. First things first, I would need to go out of the academy. This will be a bit troublesome, but I can manage it. All I need to do is blackmail that damn Eric. Okay, less talks, time to roll…”

Lucas was about to go out of the dorm room, towards Eric’s office, however, passing through the hallway of his dorm towards the exit door, he saw himself in a body mirror present at the wall beside the door and saw the sorry state he was in. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and muttered,

“…or maybe not? Tsk. I need to cleanup first.”

…

Lith’s dorm, sky island.

Lith was sitting with Rena on his lap and was petting her while she snuggled closer to him. He had left Rena in day care and there they ensured that she trained well and was fed well. He didn’t have to do anything much for her in this aspect.

The academy took care of one’s magical beast until the students were in the academy and this was a good thing as students would graduate back home with a strong magical beast companion.

Lith was pretty busy in the past few days and felt like he was neglecting Rena. Though he felt like that, there was nothing he could do a out it. He was just too busy with everything.

Lith looked at Rena on his lap and thought to himself with a smile, ‘once we are out of the academy, I’ll definitely take you along while exploring the world. You real growth would then begin along with mine.

Just a few more months. If in the upcoming few months I feel like academy is just a waste of time, I would drop out of it. Mom and big sis are the best and the only people who can train me.

Academy just feels like a break from their training. It’s not been a lot of time since I joined the academy but I can tell that there’s nothing new here that I can learn. I might as well drop out. Anywho, that definitely won’t be now at least.

I definitely won’t drop out before dating teacher and Miss Emilia, ahem, I mean, I definitely won’t drop out before I reach rank 3. I can feel that I am halfway there now. Hmm, probably a month or two and I’ll definitely breakthrough.

Ralph and Dennis are good people, I’ll miss them once I drop out but let’s see how it goes. I might as well suggest them about dropping out along with me, hehe. Ah crap, I am overthinking again!’
