Chapter 3 - chapter 3: The Tutor

The capital bathe in bright light and the moonlit sky, this place was an extraordinary place to be in especially after being reincarnated. I looked around the carriage I was in, my mother was looking through some paperwork's as we drove back to the castle

I walked up to her "Mom!!!" I said eagerly, she smiled at me with her eyes "What is it sweetie?" She asked, I rubbed my chin and tilted my "Did I do good in the test?" I asked her

She hugged me "You did fantastically!" She shoved me off and continued looking through her paperwork's. A few minutes passed, she let out a sigh of relief "Yggdris..." I looked at her immediately "You'll be having a teacher tomorrow!" She clasped her hands and smiled at me

I tilted my head at her "Teacher?" I asked, she nodded "Due to me being the Queen, I cannot teach you for now... so I asked my royal tutor when I was still wee girl... he's a demon through and through, but he raised high ranking vampires and demons throughout his career!"

I rubbed the back of my head

"Demons?"

Mom nodded "When vampires reach the end of their life span they can die or become a demon..."

I walked up to her "How?"

She smile "When you're 5000 years old!"

"How old is Mom then?"

She patted me on the head

"979 years old!"

[The next day]

I rose from my bed then ran to the library to study magic

Then there I saw, a man in a black clad with red hair and an overbearing demeanor "Oy brat, c'mere!"

My brows narrowed "Who are you?!"

The man clicked his tongue, he flicked his finger and my footing suddenly glowed with a blue and orangish tint

Thanks to my reflexes I was able to dodge and the floor shot out a Flaming pillar

"Oy brat! Didn't I say come here!" He said as he closed the book he was reading

I stood up from where I was sitting and walked up at him "Who are you?!" I asked in a demanding tone

The man placed the book back at the Stacks "I'm merely a mage trying to make a living... so don't make my Job harder..."

I gasped "YOU'RE THE OLD TUTOR!" He bashed me on the head "Who are you calling Old?! Brat?!"

"Ack!" I exclaimed as I rub my head, the man leaning over the stacks stared at me "Can you read?"

"Huh?" I said in confusion

He slammed his hand on the books "Can you read?!"

I nodded

"Good... now read this whole bookshelf today!" He said while smirking

I laid on the red carpeted ground with a pout "No..."

The man flicked his finger

The ground started to become hotter, I rolled away immediately and another surge of flames emerged from the ground "EEH?!" I screamed from shock

The man clicked his tongue "Missed it..."

I glared at him "HEY!"

The man snickered "Sorry, that was a mistake..." he picked up his book and went to the door "Read the books then I'll come back to you..."

I smirked "What if I don't?" He snapped his finger twice "That's just a warning..."

He said as he walked out, I felt a chill run down my spine when he did that... but oh well... I was planning to read the books anyways

[2 hours of reading]

"It's been 2 hours? And I only finished one grimoire?! I got 19 more to go!!!" I slammed my head over the table feeling defeated

Then I heard somebody slam their hand on the door "It'll get easier the more you read them" he pointed his Finger at my forehead "Now read or you'll get it"

I gulped and gave him a wry smile "O-okay!"

[10 hours passed]

I'm already at my last book and grasped basic knowledge of how magic works in this world, but that being said... 10 hours had already passed

"I'm starving!!!" I groaned

The man tossed a blood bag over my direction, I caught it in mid air "What's this?" I asked in confusion

"It's a blood bag..."

I punctured a whole over the bag and as soon as it made contact with my skin it vanished and left me feeling satiated "W-whoa?"

The tutor nodded his head "You're a royal alright" he said as he turned his eyes back to the book he was reading again...

The moment I finished reading the last book, I felt my consciousness fade into total darkness... the last thing I remember was me fainting.

[Several days passed]

The tutor was sitting on a chair beside my bed reading his book "You're finally awake" he said in a stoic voice

I looked around my room and the colors seemed to be more vibrant and had more details "What happened?"

He closed the book with one hand and looked at me "You've achieved magical enlightenment"

I scratched my head "What's that?"

He smiled "I'm glad you asked, long story short you can invent your own magic if you practice it enough"

My eyebrows narrowed "what?"

He became annoyed "Never mind" he said as he continued reading his book

I stood up from my bed and walked towards the library.

There was no library but ashes of what was there, blue tinted flames on the walls and a huge hole on the room leading outside was left

Aeriel put his hand over my shoulder "It's alright Yggdris-sama... we can rebuild this when the flames go away"

I frowned "I guess..." then continued walking out to the front gate of our castle

Aeriel being the family servant he followed me out "Yggdris-sama's not allowed to go out of the castle walls until he reaches the age of 12..." he said as he stares at me dead in the eye

I annoyingly walked back to the castle

While I was walking around, my eyes were locked on the windows over the walls showing the city that has been developed over the years. The moonlit sky made the city more intricate and that view was imprinted in my memory...

[A year passed]

I'm now 7 years old and undergoing physical training under my tutor Zal-sama

The time is now 2:09 AM. I brought a watch for this hunt

Because I'm in the castle dungeons hunting for an Earth dragon "ZAL-SAMA I WANNA GO BACK!!!" I whined annoyingly

But I got no response back...

I was only wearing my casual clothes with no weapons since he said

"A vampire doesn't need petty weapons such as swords unless it's really needed"

I was walking around the dungeon made with stone pavements and brick walls making the surroundings muted and monochrome. There's not any vegetation either

Not even a goblin. I panned my fireball around the halls to check how far it goes, but even after 5 minutes the fireball already vanished from the distance and there was still no end

I continued walking but the floor collapsed on me "AHHH!!!" I screamed out loud

I can't see the bottom of the hole I fell into, but the moment I got out of that hole I was in a huge cave underground. I grabbed onto a vine and swung my self to a wall, I created 5 fireballs while clinging onto the wall and spread them out and made them explode for luminosity. There in the middle I saw a pair of red, ruby eyes glaring at me from the darkness, with a boulder like shell on it's back

A hardwood looking appendages and a mouth with sharp fangs made out of steel

I slid down the wall and jumped when it was possible, the beast immediately rushed at my direction

The rumbling of the floor made it hard to stand. I waved my right arm across the room feeling the darkness at my fingertips. And as soon as I did a huge wave of shadow spiking at the beast came surging from behind me

The beast opened its mouth and let out a bright beam destroying my shadows

I instinctively dodged away, the wall got a deep hole on it from the beam, smokes puffing out of it

I bit my thumb and let my blood drip from my hand "Blood bow!" A bow with a red gleaming metallic shin appeared to my hand as I pointed at the beast "Shadow arrows!" A black arrow that's looking like a puff of smoke appeared "Multiply!" three appeared beside it

I placed it on my bow and pulled the blood string back as far as I can

As soon as I pulled back the bow the beast came rushing at my direction

My eyes were focused on it's potential weak spots "Eyes, nose, mouth," I mumbled as I let go of the bows string

The four arrows shot out in an incredible speed spinning through the air, quickly approaching the beast. The arrows pierced the 3 weak spots I mumbled, It pierced deep enough to cause internal damage

I reached out my hand towards the beast that was still coming at my direction, I opened my palm, and then grabbed the thin air, the arrows inside the beast burst like a bomb inside it

The beast fell while it was running making it slid down the floor

It instantly died from the attack. I fell to the floor from exhaustion

One of my living fireballs that I created with fire magic and necromancy came back to me

"pu!!" It said with a high pitched tone

"Aww!" I said with a smile on my face, I called the fireball Puru Since it makes those kinds of noises, I walked towards the corpse of the earth dragon

I raised my hand over it draining it from all its blood with the flesh reducing it to blood. After a good 10 minutes of converting and absorbing I saw the bones of the beast, and at the center was a Bright crystallized mana, "A MAGIC STONE!" I screamed with excitement "Pun!!!" Puru said in excitement too, I patted it on its head as I feed it with my own mana

I picked up the magic stone that seemed to be larger than my hand and began searching for an exit, but as I did a bright bluish light appeared from behind me with a gust of wind "Nope, you can not leave this place with such common tactics" that voice, I turned around it was "ZAL- SAMA! LOOK I GOT THE STONE!" He smirked "That's great... also learn Movement magic here..." he said before Disappearing

"WAIT!!!" I screamed out but he was already gone

"STUPI-"

[5 hours passed]

"WARP!" I spoke the chant out and a dim bluish light appeared on my footing "Puru?" Puru said in a quiet tone

The light covered my whole body and it glowed so bright it's almost blinding

Then I suddenly felt pressure at my stomach and wind against me

I was falling from the sky "A-AHH!!!!!" I screamed out

I was nearing the castle as each second passed

"W-WARP!!!" I vanished in thin air and crashed into my Mum's study room "Yggdris?" She said seeing me laying on the floor face flat on the ground

"Ughhh" I groaned in exhaustion

"How was the tutor, is he good?" She smirked

"He's okay... he just left me to die most of the time" I said with annoyance

My Mum laughed "That's so like him, now now off you go!" I walked out of the study room and saw Zal-sama standing in front of the door

"Congratulations for completing my 1st quest... For your reward, you may rest for the day" he said before vanishing into thin air

I walked to my room while Puru's following me, I fell to the ground but a maid caught me from my fall "You've done well for today, Yggdris-sama"

It was Crisha, the castles head maid

I just closed my eyes and let my body drift to sleep.
