Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 22: Preparing for his next goal

Chapter 22: Preparing for his next goal

Upon returning to the Academy, Matt and Isla visited Professor Reagan to explain the mission details.

Although they were not very detailed in their explanations, to avoid telling him unnecessary details.

But Matt passed him several of the scrolls he found there.

"Professor, they are written in the ancient language. I know a little bit of the language from what I could read, and I realized that there is a slight problem regarding what we saw in that cave." Matt said.

Although Professor Reagan was surprised that Matt knew the ancient language, he didn't ask about it and focused on his concerns.

"What problem do you see?" he asked as he read the scrolls.

"According to this, they have one or two leaders with a fairly high power level. But we didn't see any leaders with high power during the battle and the cave raid. Maybe the strongest ones were three or four who had about 3 thousand power, but more than that, there were no more. So, I'm afraid they are planning something different; maybe it was just a distraction this time." Matt replied.

Reagan Cooper raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this and looked at him.

He had to nod at his concerns.

They made a lot of sense.

"...Okay, I'll tell the higher-ups about this, and we'll look into what's going on better." He replied and put the scrolls away.

"You told me you want to go west; what will you do there?"

"Professor, the truth is I want to go get some material for a weapon. I have a durable weapon, but I feel like it's holding me back. It's like I can't get my full power out with this weapon." Matt said as he pulled out his weapon.

The professor held it in his hand and nodded.

"They made it out of good material, but it's a normal low-grade weapon. It's durable because the material is good, but the smith wasn't capable enough, so he couldn't get good use out of it. It's normal that you can't use that much power." He replied, smiling.

Matt didn't understand this, "What do you mean?" he asked, and the professor smiled as he pulled out a weapon.

"These two weapons were made with materials of equal hardness, but there is a big difference between a weapon of a low grade and a weapon of a high grade, even if the material is the same. Here, hold it." He said, passing him the weapon he had just pulled out.

Matt held it up and was surprised by what he was feeling. As soon as he held the weapon, though it wasn't according to the ones he liked, he could feel his power moving more versatilely than before.

"This... That's quite a difference." Matt replied with a surprised face.

The professor nodded.

"In the end, we must understand that a weapon is a tool that borrows our power, so the higher the rank of the weapon, the more of our power it can support and carry simultaneously. That's why it's normal that you can't use all your power with your current weapon; the rank of your weapon is not enough for your current power." He replied and then signed a document to give it to Matt.

"Okay, you have permission. Try to get back quickly to avoid trouble with the directors, and don't look for trouble in the West. Although if you go with Miss Alice, you shouldn't have any problems." Replied the professor, smiling.

Matt nodded, and after that, he and Isla returned to the village where they lived.

They both needed to study some things regarding the scrolls, so they headed towards Matt's room, but just as they were about to enter, Alice appeared from inside the room and smiled at the sight of Matt.

"Matt!" She said happily as she jumped towards him to give him a little hug.

Matt was surprised that she was here but smiled, "I didn't expect to see you here just now. Are you free?" He asked, and she nodded, but then she noticed a girl looking at them in surprise.

This surprised Alice, who quickly broke away from Matt and looked at the two of them.

"This..." She said, biting her tongue as she thought of a possibility, so she stared at Matt.

"Is she your wife?" She asked in shock. She was almost about to quickly start apologizing for hugging Matt, but he shook his head at her.

"No, I met her when school started, and now she's my teammate." He said and then introduced her to her, making Alice sigh in relief.

She almost had a heart attack at the thought that she had hugged someone else's husband like that in front of his wife.

Soon after, the two sat down to discuss various things as they got to know each other.

"So, you want to go hunt a wounded dragon out West? That's pretty dangerous, Matt." Alice replied.

Matt naturally knew that.

A dragon is not just any living thing; it is one of the most powerful existences within the existing races. Even if it is wounded and young, killing it may not be easy.

Still, he must go.

"I need a better weapon so I can better understand my power. And dragon bones and scales are perfect for making weapons." He replied, causing Alice to nod with understanding.

"...I understand. It's also hard to find a dragon, and if we can kill it, it's a blessing, so I understand you. If so, I will come with you. It will be easier with me there, and I'll make sure nothing happens to you." She replied firmly, surprising Matt.

"Are you sure? Don't you have classes or occupations?" he asked, and she shook her head with a smile.

"I took a test and passed it with the highest grade thanks to the training we've had lately, so now I'm free until a while from now when the classroom battles start." She replied, smiling. Matt then nodded and was about to speak.

Just then, Alice remembered something, so she interrupted him.

"Right, Matt. My dad sent us resources; look." She said quickly as she pulled out several important things, mostly high-quality blood.

Matt was surprised by this, "That much?" He asked, seeing that there were ten great bags of blood.

Each bag had about 10 liters of high-quality blood, which is extremely expensive!

Isla's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she saw this. She didn't expect the heirs to be so rich.

Alice nodded smilingly.

"Hehe, I was also surprised when I saw it. My father and brother sent it to us because I told them about our rise in power." She replied, at last puffing out her chest a little proudly.

"If that's so, then it looks like we will become powerful very fast and reach the First Academy soon, Isla." He said as he looked at Isla.

She was surprised, "Me?" she asked in shock.

And he nodded, "Naturally, remember I told you we were going to get vampire and devourer blood? Well, look." He said, pulling out several more bags of blood as well; in this case, it was pure blood.

It wasn't high quality; it was the highest purity, the kind you get from a compatible being.

Even Alice was stunned to see so much. She ignored the devourer blood, which was the highest quantity and focused on the vampire blood.

Even though there were only five bags, and each had about 2 liters.

It's pure blood!

It's the best kind of blood!

"This... How did you get so much vampire blood?" she asked in shock.

Even Isla was in shock; at what moment? She thought.
