The elevator stopped after a couple of seconds and the doors opened. Outside was a hallway leading to a door. Keith followed the female vampire as she entered the room.
“You are late.” A cold voice resounded throughout the room.
Keith turned his head towards the direction the voice was coming from and he saw Valencia wearing the student council uniform. It was overly decorated with many symbols and medals attached to her shoulders.
Her red eyes were piercing through his appearance, trying to see what is underneath while her white hair fluttered after she used her aura to peer into his blood core. The pressure inside the room increased and the lady vampire was having trouble standing still.
“Miss. Winters, I told you I didn’t want to join the student council, but after the incident, you forced me to join. Didn’t I say the normal rules don’t apply to me? I want to make this clear again. I will do this only if it doesn’t interfere with my other interests and doesn’t take too much of my time.
“I was busy this whole week, so I couldn’t come here. That doesn’t mean I was hiding from you.” Keith expanded his aura to block the suppression Valencia was applying on him.
He activated his warrior frame to its maximum output to push Valencia’s aura away. Seeing his blood-qi level rise to such a degree, her eyes widened a little, but she let out her final stage marquis aura.
Heuk!
The lady vampire couldn’t resist the aura and fell flat to the floor and passed out. Keith was handling the aura pretty well, but it wasn’t enough. The gap between them was too large and even with the warrior frame providing him with count level blood-qi, she was at the final stage of Marquis. Her blood-qi was several times higher than Keith’s. If he were to fight her, he wasn’t sure if he could escape alive.
“Miss. Valencia, Are you trying to kill a junior and your subordinate?” he said while maintaining his aura.
“Hmph! You are far from dead and she’s just passed out. I didn’t use any physical force so it is not that big of a deal even if you died. It proves that you are weak.” She smirked and withdrew her aura.
“That is a cruel thing to say. So I can use my aura like this on baron stage and blood condensing phase vampires and no one will blame me?” Keith asked, raising his eyebrows.
“Depends on the identity of the vampire. If the vampire is from a low-level family, you can get away with it, but if the vampire has any strong backer, you will be hunted until they do the same to you or worse.” She smiled.
“Nevermind. You are a princess, so even if I kill you, your father will spare no means to hunt me down.” Kieth sighed.
Hahaha!
“So you want to kill me now? Well, you have to catch up to me soon. Your growth is impressive, but getting to my level will take you several years even with your heaven-defying talent. I would be happy to fight you after you reach my level.” She replied with a grin.
“Now, sit down. I have a lot of things to ask you.” She walked to her chair across the table and sat down crossing her legs.
Keith sighed and sat down on a chair in front of the table. Valencia moved her fingers and the lady vampire’s body levitated and dropped outside the office and the door closed. A transparent layer of energy covered the room and another layer around the table, enclosing them within the semi-sphere.
“Nothing can enter inside, so anything we talk about will be between the two of us. I know that the director and deans have artifacts to snoop around.” Valencia explained.
“But you don’t have to worry. Every department has a protective layer to repel the others, but sadly, This place is run by me, and I don’t have resources equivalent to the main branches. Also, I’m not a faculty here. The blood ritualists won’t give me special treatment just because I’m a marquis or the princess of Efrain.
“But I do have my means to get artifacts of equivalent strength. The only problem is that it covers only a small space, enough to cover this room.” She pointed to the layers.
“So the protective layer is present on the residential quarters?” Keith asked with a serious voice.
“Are you secretly doing something illegal? Why do you have such a face?” She smiled teasingly.
Keith was getting impatient with her attitude. He just wanted to know if his living quarters were safe or not. Valencia’s lips opened and closed several times.
“Every residential building made for students and teachers are protected by the same runes as the other major department buildings. These rune formations were created before the establishment of the academy. The original vampire who owned this palace laid these runes. The student council building was built after the academy was created, so sadly we don’t have the same rune formation.” Valencia replied.
Keith also remembered the strong material their buildings were made of. He was really surprised to know that they could resist a blow from a final stage viscount. Clearly, there was a formation that was underneath the walls.
“So the material used to make the walls is not the main reason for their strength. I think the runes are the reason the walls are indestructible.” Keith said with an excited expression admiring the rune formation.
“You noticed! Even if a duke breaks the walls, they will rearrange within seconds. You have to test it for yourself if you want to see the effect. I once tried to crack a wall and it snapped back to its place in an instant.”
Keith didn’t say that he already tried this, but he agreed with her statement and nodded his head. If what she said was true then the castle was definitely an unbreakable fortress. Each wall was capable of taking a hit from a Duke-level vampire and reverting back to its earlier state. And it was the same for each and every building and wall built by the original vampire.
“That is not all. The walls covering the academy have an even stronger rune formation that can withstand blows from King-level vampires. And how many kings do you think there are in the continent. Let alone kings, dukes are only a handful, so unless someone gathers an army of duke-level vampires, getting inside the academy premises without permission is almost impossible.” Valencia explained.
“What about the sky? Can’t they just jump over the walls or drop from the sky. I doubt there is a lack of flying artifacts.” Keith asked curiously, to make Valencia spill more details.
“The academy has several rune formations to cover the entire sky and the important buildings. They are invisible rune formations that act as a shield to block anything that has a life energy level higher than the fifth level of blood-condensing phase. Air, rain, birds… anything can enter as long they are harmless and weak enough.
“Also there is a special barrier only accessible to the director that can block huge projectiles and rocks in case someone attacks. Only the director can disarm them and let anything in.
“But why isn’t it permanent, like the other layer?”
“Because sometimes, the academy needs supplies and they are delivered through flying artifacts. Living things above the fifth level of blood condensing phase can’t even get in, so it’s not that dangerous if opened for a second or two. And the director is the one who built the second rune formation, so naturally, he knows what he’s doing.”
Keith was surprised to find out that the director built the rune formation to block low-energy projectiles on such a scale. He was a blood ritualist at the king level, so it made sense.
“The director is very powerful it seems. I heard from Mr. Visit that he can travel anywhere with an artifact.” Keith said, remembering his conversation with the old blood ritualist.
“This is a rumor that has been going on for a long time. Personally, no one ever saw him do it, so it hasn’t been proven yet. But I think there is a truth in that. He is very mysterious and holds unfathomable knowledge. I only met him once, two years ago. He rarely shows himself to the students. Only a select few can encounter his presence while attending the academy.” Valencia replied.
Keith wanted to find out more about him through Valencia, but as it turned out, she didn’t know much about him either.
“Now let’s get back to the matter at hand. We wasted too much time going off-topic. I followed your every move after the orientation ceremony and your activities are limited to the blood warrior training facility and the blood summoning department. You didn’t attend classes at the summoning department for about a week. What happened there?”
“I didn’t bring him inside to hide it from you, but I think you figured it out.”
“Your summon, I know that he’s downstairs. But this is not enough to grant a student special leave. It seems like Dean Jesper himself ordered this to your teachers.” Valencia said with a thoughtful expression.
“Dean Jesper! Why would he do that? I don’t know him personally. He never asked me to join or to be his disciple.” Keith’s eyes glowed with anticipation.
“Don’t think too much into it. I think he’s doing it because you are an important asset to the summoning department and he wants to build a good relationship by giving you enough freedom. He is not going to teach you personally.” Valencia replied mockingly, bursting Keith’s bubble.
“At least Dean Lucien tried to make me his disciple…” Keith mumbled.
“What did you say?” Valencia stood up from her seat.
