Chapter 56: New Place
“Annica! How dare you say those things in front of me?”
The boy shouted back at the girl.
“What are you going to do? Complain to your father. That is the only thing you can do anyways.” The girl named Annica replied.
“Hmph! You wait.” The boy spat out loud.
He didn’t wait for the response as he quickly turned around and left.
“I’ve been waiting my entire life.” They laughed as the boy walked off the distance while stomping his foot.
The girl looked at Keith and approached him.
“You are from Kelgard right?” She glanced at his insignia embroidered on the dress.
“Yes.” Keith looked at the girl’s dress, but couldn’t identify her origins.
She must have noticed that he was searching for her insignia, as she laughed while placing her hands on her lips.
“I’m from Argania as well. You can call me Anny.” She extends her hand for a shake.
“Keith. It’s nice to meet you.” Keith shook her hand.
She was wearing a black Victorian dress and a hat that was tilted to the right side. Her hands were covered in thin white gloves. Upon closer look, her dress contained several blood runes.
She looked to be in her late teens, but looks were deceptive for vampires. She might be hundreds of years old. Someone couldn’t judge a vampire’s age just by appearance.
“Impressive! You are so young, but already a final stage baron.” Anny said.
“You overpraise me. I was just lucky.”
“So you also joined the academy for this batch. Looks like we will be spending a lot of time together.” Anny looked at Keith playfully.
“What do you mean?” Keith asked with a suspicious face.
“We will be learning together, you and me. I am also a final stage baron.” She laughed.
Keith was surprised. Because a moment ago he scanned her but no functions were found. He didn’t know what stage she was in, but to completely hide the final stage baron’s aura was beyond his expectations.
“Shall I ask you to accompany me to our dorms?” Anny asked.
“NO, thank you. We can go by ourselves.” Rena said as she came out of the carriage holding Keith’s luggage.
“Oh my! Who might you be? She has quite the temper for a human.” Anny turned around and looked at Rena, who was staring daggers at her.
“She’s my maid. I brought her here as a servant.” Keith replied.
“Wonderful. Is she your personal blood bank?”
“Ahem! No, she just takes care of all my things. Isn’t that right Rena?” Keith looked at Rena with big eyes.
“Yes… I am young master’s loyal servant.” Rena understood the gesture and toned down her voice.
“Aww, I haven’t seen such a vampire-human relationship in years. Mostly they are just overworked or used as food.” Anny said with a cute voice.
A chill ran down Rena’s spine as she heard this. She never expected such a cruel thing could be said with this much cuteness. The girl in front of him was very good with words.
“Thank you miss for your compliment. But we must report to the registration office. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we will take our leave.” Keith said.
“Oh! I almost forgot about that. Thank you for reminding me. Hope we meet again in the near future.” Anny winked at Keith and turned around.
“Henry! Pick everything up. We are leaving. Hurry!” Anny ordered her servant who was standing near the carriage.
The man quickly picked up the luggage and followed her.
“What a vicious woman.” Rena blurted out.
“Something tells me, we will be seeing more of these spoiled brats here.” Keith sighed.
They picked up their luggage and headed to the registration office.

“Age and Family name?” A deep female voice asked.
“Forever Family. 21 years old.” A beefy-looking man who was standing in front of the table said with no emotions.
“Blood condensing stage?”
“Early-stage baron.”
“Here you go. Take the left turn and go straight to block eight. Show this card to the guard, he will guide you to your room.” The old lady who was registering the students handed the bulky man an identity card.
As soon as the man took the card from her hands, the runes engraved on it lit up faintly and registered his blood-qi.
“Next!”
Keith, who was watching from the sides, walked forward and handed her his documents.
“Age and family name?”
“20 years old, From Ennes family.”
“Blood condensing stage?”
“Final stage baron” Keith replied with a straight face.
The woman turned her head up and looked at him for several seconds.
“Is something wrong?”
“No, I thought I’ve seen you somewhere. Looks like you are his son.” The old lady replied.
“You knew my father?” Keith asked with an excited face.
“This old lady has been managing the registration office for several centuries. There are only a few who can stay relevant in my memory.”
“May I ask a few more things about my father? Keith looked at her eagerly.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that. The academy has prohibited spreading information about wanted fugitives.” The old lady looked strangely at Keith.
“My dad… Why did he do this? Why did he go that far and sacrifice his entire fortune, his seat as the leader? If I could just know his reasoning.” Keith mumbled.
“Whatever his goal was, he was hell-bent on achieving it. He didn’t even flinch when he…” She looked at Keith again and stopped talking.
She then handed him a card similar to the one she gave to the brawny man.
“Take a left and at the end of the corridor, turn right. You will find 3 buildings, go to the middle building and show the guards this card.”
Keith nodded his head silently and left the registration office.
“That kid, he has the same eyes as his father. Hopefully, he doesn’t bring trouble to himself.” The old lady mumbled before asking for the next registrant.
Walking on the campus corridor, Keith followed the path the old lady had instructed. Rena was walking by her side, carrying the luggage.
They quickly reached the end of the corridor and turned right. After walking thirty steps, they came out to an open space several acres long. Three large buildings could be seen, separated by two gardens.
Keith walked towards the middle building, which was built with finely cut stones. It was so flawless in fact that he thought the building was molded by metal. But the lines separating the stones gave it away.
The building was around five storeys tall, with a sloped roof starting in the middle. The entrance was supported by several pillars. The golden-brown colored stones accentuated the building in an elegant way.
As he approached the entrance, the guard extended his hands. Keith gave him the identity card and the guard looked at it and slowly nodded.
“Come with me.” He guided Keith inside the building.
Keith followed the guard. After going through several corridors the guard stopped in front of the luxurious door.
“This is your room where you will be staying for the term. If you like it, you can extend your stay indefinitely, or move to another building.”
Keith opened the door and entered the room. His eyebrows went up as he looked around the interior. It was a luxurious suite filled with everything a nobleman could think of.
