Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 87: Many thoughts

'Matthew Dietrich, huh.' Sophia Murphy thought as she watched Matt and Isla walk into the distance.

Next to her was a person who was also looking that way.

"Miss, is that Matthew Dietrich you mentioned to me?" this woman asked, and Sophia Murphy smiled.

"It's not very like you not to know who someone I know is." Sophia replied, causing the woman behind her to lower her head slightly.

"I'm sorry, miss. I've honestly never seen him before, though I heard some rumors of the Allen Family." Replied the woman behind her apologetically, even bowing slightly.

Sophia smiled.

"It's okay, I'm not blaming you. I hadn't heard of the existence of a Dietrich Family either."

"According to my research, there shouldn't be anyone with the last name Dietrich in today's world; that's a little strange. But I'll look into it more." Replied the woman, though she then turned her gaze away from Matthew and looked at Sophia.

"What does your ability tell you, miss?" she asked again.

Sophia frowned slightly at this question.

"I wonder the same thing." She replied, not answering her question.

Honestly, she, too, would like to understand what she saw. But she couldn't.

'...How strange he is... And I feel that his blood is so delicious I can hardly contain myself when I'm in front of him. I wonder if I'm the only one who feels it.' She thought.

That was too strange, and there was something wrong with her thoughts.

But the problem was that she couldn't understand what it was.

That was annoying to her.

'I have to think what I will do with you now, Matthew Dietrich. You put me in some tight spots, you know?' She said to herself in her mind, put on a slightly sly smile, and then turned to leave.

.

"What did you and Miss talk about, Matt?" Isla asked curiously as they were walking through the academy.

"She was giving me advice regarding a few things. Looks like I need to think about it carefully; she looked pretty serious about it, but don't worry, it's nothing bad." He replied, smiling, and she nodded softly, though she was thoughtful about what it might be.

Still, she didn't ask anything else, and the two then walked for a long time in the academy, getting to know the important places. In the evening, the director Noah, looked for them to return to the Second Academy, so they flew back to the Second Academy shortly after.

Matt looked quite pensive during the trip, though.

He had a lot of things to think about today.

From the things he had learned in the library to things regarding Sophia Murphy.

Putting aside the fact that he found her an enigmatic person who seemed to hide her true personality, two things left him thoughtful, although it didn't seem so.

The first of these is Sophia Murphy's ability.

She is not just any woman; as a Heiress, she has unique abilities, one of which she is best known for.

It's the Clairvoyance Ability, or at least that's what the rumors say. An ability that allows her to know the future around her, how incredible could that be? Even just thinking about it, he already feels that it is an ability that could make her the most powerful being in this world.

But the main issue is not that. It's that there are 12 others who have abilities just as powerful as her.

The Heiress of Clairvoyance isn't even the most dangerous of the Heirs, which means there could be abilities far more powerful than that ability.

'What kind of abilities could they be, and how can I deal with them?' Matt thought.

No matter what, he should always try to prepare himself to face people as powerful as those. Try to have a countermeasure in case something happens that gets out of his hands.

Being in front of such powerful existences, with such incredible abilities, and not having a way to defend himself is not his style.

That's why he started to think more about these Heirs.

'I should try to get information out of Alice and buy information regarding them, though... I wonder if someone might be able to sell information about such special people.' He thought and sighed.

This was all out of his hands, so he could only sigh and think about the next topic.

'A Bloody Couple, eh.' He thought and looked at Isla from the corner of his eye as they flew off in the eagle.

She was quiet, leaning on his shoulder as she looked at the scenery before her.

He then averted his gaze and sighed.

'From what I read, there are many ways to become strong by having a bloody partner. There even seem to be some forbidden techniques that can be used for mutual benefit... Also, because it's real blood, naturally, the effect is greater, but...' He thought and, in the end, let out a long sigh.

He unconsciously raised his hand, trying to grasp 'something' before him. That something didn't exist; it was just a reflection of Charlotte's face that passed through his gaze at that moment.

'...It would have been better if you were reborn with me, Charlotte. I wouldn't hesitate regarding important things if that were the case, but... What if you found out that now that I was reborn, I have a new partner? Or two...' He thought, although, for some reason, he didn't feel repulsion towards that idea.

On Earth, the vast majority of relationships were monogamous, and he knows that's what's normal for him, but...

That was normal for him when he was a human. When he belonged to the race that betrayed and murdered him, that same race that murdered his beloved wife.

Then.

'Is it worth it to keep keeping human logic? I feel I should shed all the human garbage that may still be left in me... They are not worthy of me or Charlotte, after all. And right now, I just have an intense desire to exterminate them...' He thought.

There were so many questions in his mind and so many things he wanted and knew he should do; he honestly didn't know where to start.

Just as he was thinking like that, he felt a hand grab his arm, and a pair of eyes looked at him. He then snapped out of his stupor and looked to the side as he noticed Isla looking at him doubtfully.

"Is something wrong, Matt?" she asked, looking slightly tender and adorable.

Matt was surprised by this but smiled and shook his head as he stroked her face a little unconsciously, "It's nothing. I was just remembering some things and got lost in my thoughts." He replied.

She was surprised by his actions but still smiled tenderly and nodded at him, "It's okay." She said and then went back to getting lost in their thoughts.
