Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 163: The test to promote to the First Academy?

"Congratulations, Matt. Looks like you got some great rewards from the King this time. Also, I guess the other kingdoms already sent you the payment due, right?" Reagan asked after reaching his room, and he nodded.

"That's right, Professor Reagan. I wasn't expecting such a high payment, but now I have enough to spend a long time training behind closed doors. That's why I wanted to ask you for special permission for me and Isla, so that we can go to the Academic Training Grounds."

"Oh? Do you have a lot of authentic blood available?"

"That's right. Too much, I'd say."

His answer surprised Reagan Cooper, who hadn't expected that.

Although he knows the King had granted him a certain amount of authentic blood, was it to such a limit?

What he didn't know was that Matt had obtained hundreds of corpses since the raid on that organization's headquarters, and they had all been processed by the blood herb, which meant that now he, Isla, and Alice had large amounts of blood reserves.

Right now, he might be one of the independent people with the most blood, with liters numbered in the hundreds.

Still, Reagan Cooper nodded toward them.

He immediately pulled out a document and handed it to them after signing it.

"I was calling to warn you not to be too careless or go out too much these days. The situation at the border is not good. Also, we found traces of that organization on the other side of the world, in the Zimmermann Kingdom, which is problematic. It seems to be bigger than we expected, so you should be careful."

Matt nodded at what he said.

Naturally, he knew this.

He stole many documents from that organization; only he and Alice knew about it. Thanks to that, he was able to investigate everything properly.

Among so much research, he found several things. First of all, the organization's name is 'Vampiric Prosperity'.

It is so big that it could amaze anyone who knows about it, even more so considering that what Matt and the Allens destroyed was only a tiny branch of the organization that sought to take control of the region.

The motive was the same as Matt had suspected: they wanted to take control of the City of Clans.

Now, there are a few more things that indicate that the organization's powers in this region have not been completely eradicated. They likely have powers among the upper echelons of the City of Clans, but there, the danger increases.

It is said that the Clans of the City of Clans have powerful people of over 30 thousand power. Even 40 thousand would be possible to find there, which makes the danger scale increase by a big step.

But where is the central organization?

Matt came to an assumption after doing so much research and reading so much; that assumption tells him there are two places they could be.

The first is the Central City of the World. It is one of the most likely.

The other would be in the faraway Human Empire. From everything he could see, Matt is sure of one thing, and that is that in that organization, there is at least one human among the leaders.

Unfortunately, that's all he could find out.

And he's not willing to investigate right now.

In fact, he knows that if he delves any further into the situation, he might meet an untimely end.

That's why he decided to turn a blind eye to anything to do with that organization from now on.

He doesn't care.

This time, he got into trouble because those guys provoked him repeatedly.

Since they wanted to assassinate him, then the problem was already personal.

But if they are looking for something other than messing with him, then he doesn't care, even if they put this whole region under his command.

So, he turned his eyes to the side and stopped caring about this. It was better to focus on becoming strong; he had enough to do with finding a way to assassinate Caspian White and finding Charlotte.

So, he nodded and revealed nothing more to Reagan Cooper.

"Okay, now I have two more things. The first is a letter from Miss Alice. She left it for you before she went back to the family mansion," he said, handing him something.

Matt frowned. 'Alice?' He found her signature and the seal that only he could unlock on this strange letter.

She had gone along with Isla to the ceremony, but what he heard from Isla was that she had just watched it from afar and had returned to the academy quickly without saying anything to him.

'Did something urgent happen?'

Matt didn't open the letter and simply put it away to look at later and looked at Reagan.

"What's the other thing?" He asked.

"All indications are that the academy wants to form student groups to send all the Second Academy students who want to move up in rank to the First Academy on a mission to the frontiers, and those will be this year's tryouts. So, I wanted to ask, how are you both doing in terms of power? Have you been approached to move up to become Mid-Rank students at the First Academy?" Reagan Cooper asked.

There was a difference between the First and Second Academy Mid-Rank students. Matt could already be considered one in the second academy since those in the second academy need 3,000 power. But those in the first academy need to have 5,000 power minimum.

Wanting to rise to that rank of student and reach the first academy was the goal of all students in the second academy, but to become one, you must pass certain end-of-year tests.

But this year would be different.

Matt was surprised by this and frowned.

'Tsk, even in this world, trouble follows me.' He thought. Then he looked at Isla, and she nodded.

Then he looked at Reagan again.

"Professor, don't worry about our power level. When will it be time for us to go to the border? We would like to go, too."

"Oh? If you say not to worry it means you both are very close or already have it, so I won't worry then. We don't know the exact date, but it's possible two weeks from now or a month."

"If that's the case, then that's fine. We'll be ready for that time. Professor, we'll say goodbye; we'll go to the training grounds."

After a short goodbye, Matt and Isla left the office and subsequently entered the academy train to head towards the main training section.

It goes by so many names that sometimes almost no one remembers its real name: Sacred Grounds of Bloody Training.
