Vampire's Slice Of Life

Lith looked at Dennis and Ralph as they dashed towards him. He took out a sword from his ring and took a step ahead. The two closed even further in on him. Lith took another step and now he and the two were just 100 meters away from each other.

Lith didn’t waste time and prepared to attack them. The two were also bracing themselves to defend as well as attack Lith. It was an intense moment and the very next instant, the two were only 20 meters from Lith.

Lith took another step ahead with the attacking position of his sword. Right at this moment, Rena did what she was told. She quickly dashed towards her left in an attacking stance.

Ralph and Dennis, with all their might, braced Lith’s attack. Ralph was supposed to block it and Dennis was supposed to counterattack. They were both now just 10 meters from him and were ready to exchange blows.

However, just as Lith took the 4th step, he disappeared, leaving Ralph and Dennis dumbfounded and aimlessly try to attack and defend against thin air. At their moment of confusion, Rena suddenly teleported out of thin air from behind Dennis and slashed her sharp claws at his back, damaging the protective shield by almost 30%.

Ralph immediately got alerted by it and so did Dennis. The two turned to attack and defend against Rena, but space fluctuated once again and Lith teleported out of it and slashed his sword at the two’s protective barriers.

Dennis’s barrier was now 80% broken and Ralph’s was 50%. Visible cracks were seen on Dennis’s translucent protective shield that had a green hue on it and Ralph’s was in a bit of a better condition than his.

The two were pushed back due to Lith’s attack and before they could get into any sort of defensive or offensive position, a black fireball came crashing in on them.

Boom!

Crack!

A small explosion occurred and a lot of cracking noise was heard, followed by the shattering noise of someone’s protective barrier breaking.

Lith knew that it was Dennis whose barrier broke and Ralph still had his intact. He slashed his sword at Ralph who in return tried to block, however Ralph realised no attack happened on him and was a bit confused.

But his confusion was gone and he slightly panicked feeling the space fluctuating behind him. But before he could take measures…

Crack!

A cracking sound was heard, followed by the shattering sound of his protective barrier, resulting in the end of their small battle.

Lith created a small teleportation circle by casting the spell on his sword and slashing it behind Ralph. He instructed Rena to move quickly towards him and attack, not worrying for anything else. Rena followed Lith’s words and as she moved forward to attack, she was sucked into the teleportation circle and arrived right behind Ralph’s back and attacked him, causing his barrier to shatter.

Lith lent out his hand to the two to have them get up. He then hit the two’s head lightly with the side of his palm and said,

“Idiots. What were you two thinking when trying to charge head on? Ralph, aren’t you a strategist type of guy? Why did you do something so dumb? And you Dennis, you got brains, use them. Don’t be a muscle head.”

“Eh, Your Highness, I was cultivating hard for the past few weeks. My magic core is also halfway there to rank 3. I thought I had gotten stronger and could beat you. Had I known you’re still stronger, I would’ve not done that.” Dennis said, rubbing his head where Lith hit.

Lith and Ralph both looked at him and facepalmed. This idiot, did he just charge head on while assuming that his opponent was weak or on his level? The first rule of battle is to never underestimate your enemy and he broke it just like that?

“Dennis, I am gonna have teacher confiscate your games and make you study the basics of war.” Lith said, looking at him with a neutral tone.

“Eh? Hein!? What!? Why!? What did I do!?” Dennis asked in panic.

“I wanted to test my strength, so I did that, knowing full well that you’re stronger than me.” Ralph replied calmly, ignoring Dennis.

“Understandable. Anywho, let’s fight properly this time. I want to see how Rena’s capabilities are. I’ll just be supporting her.” Lith too ignored Dennis and replied to Ralph.

Ralph nodded his head and Dennis, who was in panic, got excited hearing another round of fight. He liked to fight more than he liked games, naturally he forgot about it instantly.

The four then started fighting once again. An hour later, Arya arrived on the training grounds and watched them fight and took notes of what and where they were supposed to improve. She was their teacher, she wouldn’t slack in her job and wanted each and every one of them to be a better version of their previous self.

Another hour passed and their fight ended after they felt exhausted. Lith being an exception to the other three. He was the only one who put the least effort but put out the maximum problems for Ralph and Dennis.

“Good job, boys.” Arya said to the three while giving them refreshments. She also gave one to Rena and said good job to her.

Lith, Ralph and Dennis sat down on the ground and Arya too joined them. Rena transformed into a small puppy and sat on Lith’s lap. Lith fed her the refreshment through a bottle and with his free hand, drank the one he got for himself slowly.

Arya lectured the three on where they could improve and their mistakes. It was mostly Ralph and Dennis who were lectured and Lith was only told a few things about his own mistakes and was majorly lectured on how to properly coordinate and train with his magic beast.

An hour passed and their discussion was over. Lith took Rena to the daycare and dropped her there. He got back to the dorms and freshened up. It was 7pm right now and he was supposed to text his mother whether he would be coming home or not.

As he was about to do it, Arya entered his room wearing white shorts and a pink half sleeves crop top. She walked in front of him and asked,

“Are you free to watch a movie right now?”

Lith was amused hearing such a question from his teacher. It seemed to him that she liked hanging out with him. Watching movies and cuddling together. He pretty much guessed it this morning but now that she herself came to him, his guess was confirmed and he had no doubt now. Just a few more steps and she should be his, but those few steps would need to be taken care of delicately, or possibilities of messing up aren’t low.

“Yes, teacher. Come, let’s watch a movie together.” Lith replied to her with a smile and patted the side of his sofa to gesture for her to come and sit.

Arya sat down and put on a movie. Lith in the meanwhile texted his mom that he would be spending his night in the dorms with his teacher and got told to have fun from his mother in reply.

A few minutes into the movie, the two changed positions and Lith had Arya in his arms as they watched the movie together. Arya had her cultivation suppressed and enjoyed being in Lith’s warm embrace.

This Emperor rank lady wanted to be pampered and it was showing. Lith realised it too and Arya who was in question, was aware of her behaviour too. But she wasn’t embarrassed about it even the slightest. She was a carefree and playful lady, such things didn’t matter much to her.

If there was someone else in Arya’s place, they wouldn’t accept that they liked getting pampered like this from a mere thirteen year old teen. The age gap was too huge and it definitely wasn’t something one should be proud or feel good about. The person would have such things done but would always deny about it to the others as well as to themselves so as to not have any guilt.

To Arya, such a thing didn’t matter. If she liked something, she wouldn’t shy away from it and deny it. She would always do what her heart wanted her to and always go to the side where it was fun for her. Feeling shy and being embarrassed just wasn’t her thing.

The two continued to watch the movie and cuddled together like the previous day and nothing of interest happened as they did so.

…

Across a vast lush and green expanse of mountains, space fluctuated on top of the peak of one of the many mountains and a figure wearing the academy uniform of Abalax World Academy teleported out.

“Ahh… the fresh smell of nature and the nostalgia, it sure feels amazing to be back here.” Lucas, the figure in academy uniform, said to himself.

“I should now hurry and concoct the potion as soon as possible. Concocting would take time and so would drinking it and having it absorbed in the body. My whole constitution is going to change after drinking it. I shouldn’t waste time now.” Lucas muttered to himself once again.

He disappeared from the spot and teleported towards the middle of the middle of the mountain. There was a big cave present here, surrounding it were vines and in front of it was the vast jungle. Lucas walked into the cave and readied himself to concoct the potion.
