Standing at the back of the castle is Rinne with his luggage. He didn't even get to say goodbye to the twins and his young master. He can guess that this is probably because of the mysterious intruder. When he enters the study room this morning he able to sense the same pressure that he feels for three hours this morning. As a competent butler, he knows how to act according to the situation.
"You there! Rinne right?" asked a young vampire. He looks young but his wise eyes show that he already lives a few centuries.
"Yes! I am Rinne," said Rinne.
"Great. Come here," said the young vampire. Rinne walks closer towards the young vampire and then the young vampire grabs his hand and teleports from the castle.
Rinne's eyes are wide open. He can't believe how beautiful the mountains view when arriving here.
"Welcome to the Land of Ancestors," said the young vampire. Rinne pinches himself when he hears that he is at The Land of Ancestor. Unbelievable!
Mikayla wakes up at one o'clock in the evening. He rubs his eyes and calls for Rinne.
"Young master, good evening," said Jason.
"Uh! Jason, where is Rinne?" asked Mikayla.
"Rinne has been given another task to be carried out. He will not come home for a few months," said Jason while opening the curtain. The sunlight pierces through the window. It is warm and bright. As a pure vampire, Jason tolerance toward the sunlight is low but as a Grade A vampire, sunlight is just like mosquito bites. They are harmless but itchy to the skin.
"So suddenly? He was just here this morning," said Mikayla. He stands up and stretches a little. He stares at the window for a while but unable to shake the feeling that he has forgotten something.
"An important task coming up. As a young vampire in his twenties, he sure is lucky to be chosen," said Jason.
"Pff, Jason you talk like you an old man," said Mikayla as he chuckles a bit.
Mikayla enters the bathroom and sees the bathtub is filled with roses. His mouth twitches seeing that. "Why are you preparing a rose bath for me? Is there any banquets or important occasion that I don't know."
"No, there are no banquets or special occasion," said Jason with a towel on his hand.
"Then, what is the purpose of the rose bath?" asked Mikayla.
"Of course it is for you to take a bath. Don't tell you have been bathing with ordinary water all this time," said Jason with worry face.
"Well, I usually just take a shower and only occasionally take a bath. It is much easier and faster," said Mikayla nonchalantly.
Hearing that Jason shows a horrible face. That evening Mikayla is being scrubbed clean like a shiny porcelain by Jason. Jason has been nagging throughout the bath saying that Rinne is too young and make mistake by not keeping him clean. Mikayla wishes for Rinne to finish whatever task he has and save him from all the nagging.
Today, there will be battle practise for Mikayla class with the Two A class. Every Tuesday is a nightmare for Two C class because they always lose to the Two A class. Why is it that they have to be paired with Two A class?
"Hurry up to the battle hall. All of you are lucky to be able to battle with class A, they are elites and the best of the best," said Teacher Qana.
"Teacher Qana just want to see Teacher Nell," whispered Jaqueline. The others also whispering agreeing with that statement.
"Those people in the A class just love to beat us," said Martin. He is shuddering remembering what happened last week.
"Yeah," said Dew. "Those arrogant people think that they are so great. Who did not know that we are been using as a confidence booster by the A class. If they are that great they will be able to defeat those in S class.
Mikayla clenches his fist. He can still feel the pain from last week battle. He will get revenge this week. Zuri and Ginger also having the same fate as Mikayla. They are being beaten badly. The whole class is like that.
In the battle hall, the Two C class sit on the right side of the hall. They sat on the floor waiting for the Two A class to come. They are discussing the strategy and technique so that they will able to defend themselves in the battle practise. They are hoping for victory but not getting pummel until they faint is the first priority.
The door opened and a group of students enter the battle hall. It is the Two A class students. Fifteen minutes late, cocky aren't they? All the Two A class laughing and talking. They then walk towards the centre of the hall and glance at the students of Two C class with contempt.
"Hurry up! what are you sitting there for?" said Reagan. He is the class monitor and the most arrogant of all.
The Two C class students stand up and show a strong competitive spirit. They are ready, but it changes five minutes later after Martin being knock out. He was unable to use all the techniques that he has painstakingly brainstorm.
"Hahahahaha, this is easy," said Reagan. The others laugh with him. Two C class group is silence.
"Next Jill versus Ryleigh," said Teacher Nell with a loud voice. Teacher Qana watches Teacher Nell with her sparkle eyes.
Jill walks to the centre but Reagan stops her. "Teacher Nell, I got such an easy win and didn't even sweat. Let me fight for a few rounds. If any of the Two C friends manage to defeat me, I will stop."
Two C students are angry. They are clearly being underestimated. Ryleigh did not falter, he stands up and walks to the centre of the hall.
"Let us begin," said Ryleigh. Ryleigh is a human magician. With human categorise as a food in this continent, Ryleigh wants to prove that human is stronger and will not easily submit. Unfortunately, he is sent flying by Reagan.
All the Two A students cheer for Reagan. Two C student is in a grim situation as the battle continue until Emerson was called and defeated Reagan. Silence envelopes the battle hall. All of them is speechless. A panting sound really conspicuous in this silent hall. At the centre stood Emerson, he raises his hand slowly and shouts. Two C student follows the shout. It is their first win. Half of their friends are being sacrificed for this win.
Two C students use battle endurance strategy that is to wear out Reagan little by little. The other students also observe the fight pattern that Reagan usually used. After twenty lose they able to list all the technique that Reagan use and the timing. Reagan is fuming with shame. He wants to vent his anger but Teacher Nell forbid him to do so. The class ended with another three wins for Two C class but Mikayla unable to get his revenge today.
Teacher Qana goes towards her student and claps. "Good! It looks like you manage to break your shell. Gather up we will discuss how you can win in the upcoming battle."
Two C class is surprised by their teacher attitude. Hearing how their teacher analyse their strength they are all gaped, is this their lovesick teacher? But the more they hear they understand why almost a year the teacher did not provide any advance advice to them this is because they are always giving up a battle and lose miserably. But today they have won, not one but four wins.
"Never give up! Quitters will never arrive at their destination. Even if you have to crawl and move slowly, you are at least moving. Don't forget that!" said Teacher Qana with heroic bearing and getting admire from her students.
Teacher Nell squinted his eyes seeing Teacher Qana. He knew Qana has something in mind when she purposely asked to be pair with Two A class. Qana is a non-orthodox person, she will teach according to her plan. If the student is unable to achieve her standard then the student will only receive basic education.
Teacher Nell shakes his head, it seems Two A class has become the stepping stone for the Two C class. Reagan feels so humiliated it reminds him of the special class exam where he fails miserably. He looks with hatred towards Two C class, especially at Emerson. Three other people have the same feeling with Reagan and they are eyeing Two C class. They are the best in their form two so how could they lose with trash from C class.
After school, Reagan is packing his bag and getting out of the class when he is suddenly being called. He sees the three students that lose in today battle. They have a short discussion.
"No one can humiliate us," said Nola. She clenches her fist until the nail pierces her skin. Blood trickling down from her wound.
