Vampire's Slice Of Life

One week later.

A black hair, blue eyed teen was walking along the streets of the Abalx Sky Island. He was currently heading towards his classroom which was in the main building present of the sky island.

The main building was in the middle of the island. It was very grand and took up one sixth of the whole area of the island. There were classrooms, clubrooms, departments, specimen areas and various other activity areas present.

The teen was using his phone to navigate his way towards his classroom. Though it had been a week already, the sky island was big and his own dormitory was far away from the academy building and it also had a complex route.

Bam!

While being focused on the phone and not looking at the road he was walking, the teen bumped into a black haired, black eyed person and fell down. He was in a bad mood for having to go through such a hassle to get to the main building and after bumping into a random person, his mood turned worse.

"Oi, watch your step!" The teen grumbled.

He didn't have time to waste as he was running late to his classes. He got up and left quickly after tidying his uniform.

The black haired, black eyed person looked at the departing figure of the teen and said with a frown on his face

"Liam…"

Bumping into Liam brought back many buried memories into the black haired, black eyed teen. Just as he was about to reminisce into the past memories, a cold mechanical voice rang out in his mind and a blue screen with a string of words was displayed as well.

[Ding!]

[Detected bearer of unique abilities.]

[A new mission has been triggered. Please check the mission tab for more information.]

'Hmm? For real? Just bumping into this soon to be a full time trash human I get a mission? Interesting.'

The black haired, black eyed teen thought to himself. He thought of opening the mission panel and the screen blanked and a new string of words manifested.

"Oh, an easy mission for the first time, good, good. I was tired of doing the daily missions. Though Liam is a bit stronger than me at the moment, it's not a problem and I wanted to capture him at a later date anyway."

The black haired, black eyed teen muttered softly.

"Liam, for all those days you bullied and tortured me in the name of justice, heh, do you think I'll let you roam freely in this life?

If that reason wasn't enough, your rumoured 9 elemental affinities and many unique abilities are enough for me to target you.

Whatever the case, in this life, you are doomed."

Saying so, the teen walked to the main building like Liam.

…..

Lith and Ralph were lounging on the living room sofa, awaiting the arrival of their companion Dennis. They both were in their uniforms.

The uniform was simple. They wore a white shirt with a black vest, black trousers with black shoes and a blue tie indicating first years along with a black cloak that reached their knee.

Lith and Ralph had an additional cyan armband that had number one and two written on it in black indicating them as rank 1 and 2 among all other students of the same batch of 10,000.

Dennis came running down the stairs with his uniform in a mess while trying to wear a tie. He looked at Lith and Ralph and lounging in a relaxed manner on the living room sofa and said

"Ah, I am so sorry for being late again. Let's go, let's go!"

"Try to wake up early, Dennis." Ralph said while sipping tea without looking at Dennis.

"Hmm, Ralph is right. Don't play games too much at night and try to wake up early." Lith too sipped tea and said in a neutral tone, looking at Dennis.

"Your highness, I was not gaming. I was uhh..umm.. practicing. Yes, I was practicing my control over magical elements." Dennis said while still trying to wear a tie.

Lith smiled and shook his head in helplessness. Even after repeatedly telling Dennis for a week to be on time, he was still late. On top of that, his excuses were too terrible but Lith didn't call him out on that and continued to sip tea.

"Your highness, Ralph, why are you two still drinking tea? Aren't we already late?" Dennis said while figuring out why the damn tie was not getting tied properly.

"It seems staying up late is affecting your memory. Today is Saturday, we don't have to attend any classes and are free to do other activities." Ralph finally looked at Dennis and said in a neutral tone.

"Huh?" Dennis stopped making a knot in his tie and looked at Ralph in confusion.

"Idiot. We only have advanced classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays." Ralph said and sipped tea once again.

"Ah! Damn it! I totally forgot that! I could've just slept today! Ahhh! I am so stupid!" Dennis removed his tie, smashed it on the ground and grumbled.

"Though we are free, we still have to go to the main building and join some clubs. We haven't joined any clubs yet due to teacher not letting us free." Lith said from the side.

"Ah! So we aren't free today either. Your highness you should've said it from the start." Dennis said and picked up his tie from the ground and once again tried to wear it.

In one week, due to various training regimens and staying together in the same house, the barriers between Lith, Ralph and Dennis were starting to crack.

Lith didn't mind having Dennis talk in an unrestrained manner in front of him, he was a Vampire Prince, Dennis was his subject, but so what? Did it really matter? Was it a compulsion to cage a free bird like Dennis?

Dennis's unrestrained and free behaviour was getting Ralph out of his reserved and cold attitude. Ralph was getting more comfortable with Lith and Dennis due to this and was starting to open up to them.

In just one week, the three have gotten a bit closer and were at a point where they could be called as acquaintances.

Looking at Dennis not being able to wear his tie, Lith and Ralph both sighed together and shook their heads.

Dennis could talk all day long if given the chance, has many skills and is ranked third among 10,000 students in his batch but still couldn't wear a tie, this seemed like a stupid situation to Lith and Ralph and even though they taught him how to wear a tie, he still wasn't able to figure it out.

Ralph got up from his seat and walked to Dennis. He said in a neutral tone after reaching him

"Give me the tie."

Dennis stopped wearing the tie and immediately handed it over to Ralph whom he considered an expert in making a knot in the tie.

Ralph put the tie around his neck and tied a knot in it loosely. He removed it after that and gave it to Dennis who immediately put it on and finally was able to wear it properly.

"Ah, Ralph! You're a lifesaver! Thanks a lot, hahaha!" Dennis said cheerfully.

"Learn to wear it quickly to not make a fool out of yourself in front of others." Ralph sat down on the sofa and said without looking at Dennis in a neutral tone.

Lith nodded at Ralph's words. Dennis said in a bit embarrassed tone

"Hah-haha, y-yeah. I will learn it soon."

The three left their dorms and walked towards the main building to join a club.

After getting inside the main building, they walked through many long corridors and reached the club room building attached to the main building of the academy.

The club room building wasn't too big, it was only made up of five storeys. At each level, there were twenty rooms. One club could have one room and these rooms acted as meeting places of the members. The main activities of the club were all done outside and this was therefore only a meeting place.

After going through and looking at every club present, Lith, Ralph and Dennis decided to join the adventurers club. The reason for that being, they could go and explore dungeons and would be free from many club activities and can focus on their magic cultivation.

The adventurers club was the only club that allowed students to move out of the academy and explore dungeons and other places. It had two Half Emperor rank club instructors and dungeon exploration or any other place's exploration was done once every fifteen days with these two instructors ensuring the safety of the students and in their surveillance.

The members of the club were exempted from joining the adventures as long as they participated in two events or dungeon exploration of the club every six months. This club was very lenient in member participation and almost everyone wanted to join it.

That being the case, their selection criteria was also very strict and they didn't exceed more than thirty members at all times.

Though this year was an exception as the trio, Lith, Ralph and Dennis decided to join them and these three being the top students were directly admitted into the club without any tests or selection.

The trio returned to their dorm building after joining a club and the three parted ways and went to their own rooms.
