Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 79: Towards the First Academy

It had been several days since the Battle of the Halls, and today was when Matt wanted to collect one of his rewards.

That of entering the First Academy Library.

This is the Main Library, and there are rumors that it is as big as a kingdom, but no one knows if it is real. What is certain is that this place has information that could be useful to Matt.

That's why he was anxious to go.

"Isla, do you want to go with me? So, we get to know the first Academy." Matt said while talking to Isla, who accompanied him towards the director's office.

She was surprised by his invitation and smiled, "Can I really go?" she asked, and Matt nodded.

"If the director allows it, I'm sure you can. They won't let you in the library, but at least we can see that place." Matt replied, and she nodded several times.

"It's okay, Matt, I want to meet the First Academy too!" she said with a smile, though she paused for a moment.

"Oh, but if I go, I must bring something..." She said softly, causing Matt to look at her doubtfully.

"Bring what?" he asked doubtfully.

She smiled at him, "My Lady is still studying at the Academy. So, if I go to the First Academy, I have to stop by and see her and bring her the usual." She replied, making Matt more confused.

"The usual? Do you need to bring your Mistress a present?" he asked hesitantly, and she was surprised by his question.

She even cocked her head to the side, showing her confusion, but then she understood what was going on.

"Oh... I understand you don't know." She said softly.

"I don't know what?" he asked again, as this girl wasn't answering his questions.

Still, Isla shook her head with a smile.

"No, it's nothing. If you don't know, it's because Miss Alice hasn't wanted to tell you because she doesn't want to upset you, so I can't tell you." She said and turned to leave.

"Matt, wait for me. Tell the director that if he can give me a ride, to wait for me for a moment for a minute, I'll be right back." She said, smiling, and ran off, leaving Matt stunned.

'Is there something Alice hasn't told me? She says it's for her Mistress, and she mentioned Alice, so I can assume she's referring to my status as a subordinate... Something she needs to take to an Heiress... Hm, how odd.' Matt thought, though he still turned around and continued to the director's office.

He couldn't see anything wrong with Isla's face, so it shouldn't be bad, and she even looked a little happy. However, he didn't understand why.

Soon, he arrived at the head director's office.

"Director, this is Matthew Dietrich." He said from outside, and a voice came from inside, allowing him to enter.

"Boy, are you ready to go to First Academy yet?" he asked, and Matt nodded.

"I'm ready, director. But is it possible for us to take my partner with us?"

The director nodded at Matt's question, "Of course. We're going flying and there's room for her too." He replied, and Matt then nodded.

"Good, she said she's setting something up, she's coming." He replied, and then they both waited for a while until, finally, Isla came back.

"Matt, can I come?" she asked carefully as the director watched them, and Matt nodded to her.

The three left the office and headed towards the back of the Academy.

This was a section that neither Matt nor Isla had ever visited before, so the director smiled and began to explain to them what it was.

"Perhaps you don't know because you haven't had classes here. In fact, I don't think you two are going to take classes here because you are not enrolled in those subjects. But this is the Second Academy's beast tamers' place. It's just in the testing phase, and we're seeing if it's profitable, so it's small, but we still have a lot of beast tamers in this place." Said the director.

'Do they tame beasts here too?' Matt thought with surprise, and soon they walked in there.

There were many wild beasts from one side to the other that looked powerful.

In fact, the weaker ones had a strength of about 1,000 Power, and the stronger ones up to 7,000.

"The ones over 5,000 Power is for our teachers and such to practice on." He said and then pointed to the end of it all. There was a huge bird there, watching them from afar.

"That little guy over there is my tamed beast. It's a pretty strong Vampire Eagle." Said the director, and soon, the three came before a giant eagle.

According to the director, this bird was like a vampire because it gets stronger with blood, so it was very convenient to have as a pet.

That surprised Matt.

'This is the first time I've seen and heard vampiric animals exist. Although I once fought a Vampiric Dragon once, I thought he was unique.' Matt thought as he looked at the eagle in front of him.

This eagle was friendly with the director and even looked like a cute little puppy, which showed its closeness.

"Director, when you said to go flying, did you mean we'll go on top of this eagle?" Matt asked hesitantly, and the director nodded, hopping up to climb on top.

"That's right, hop on. It's not too far, but going overland is annoying right now because of some things going on." He said and then signaled for them to hop on.

Matt and Isla looked at each other for a moment.

Still, they both smiled and jumped up onto the eagle.

'I hadn't thought about it, but if there are few who have access to flying, wouldn't it be normal for them to have tamed beasts? Blood also lends itself to taming beasts, and that's where vampires are strongest. Now that makes sense.' Matt thought and smiled.

Soon, the eagle shot upward with a command from the warden, and in a moment, they were soaring above the clouds. The speed of this beast was incredible.
