Zaiden spent next few nights with conflicting thoughts, he didn't want to believe the truth. But it was in front of him since the beginning, yet he blamed it on the serum. The entire session was restless, while Curtis sensed his troublesome behaviour.
Curtis confronted him and the clash between both of them drew a line. Curtis took his leave for a few hours. He knew that the demon would protect him because of mutual benefits. Zaiden attended his lectures, and walked out to of the building to take a stroll.
{You can't keep slacking, kid. If you want to get stronger, you have to work harder. Attending lectures and sole listening won't get you anywhere.}
"I'm aware of that. But there are things I need to do first."
The word travelled faster that a traitor had successfully gotten away from Xandaya. And the king wanted him back to be lawfully punished. The verdict was passed to capture the boy and the distinction was given.
Zaiden was aware that the news was about him. Although the king didn't know how he looked, the appearance was given what the other guards told. Apparently he had nothing to worry about, but he had to be cautious.
He was half human and the fact was not negligible. Some high ranked vampire might sense that aspect, just like elder Lancaster did. Zaiden's blood group had changed back to original, which was why the boy had to do something.
{What evil are you planning to do?}
The demon knew how Zaiden's blood group got switched. And the students were splitted accordingly the results. Zaiden was placed in AB positive class and was supposed to ace the tests in that regard.
"Is there any way to know to what extent a vampire's powers can potentially increase?"
Zaiden's curious query made the demon roll his eyes. In the previous class he heard the male professor telling them, that a vampire could reach a sage level. But since a few techniques were forbidden thus the standards changed.
Vampires were able to reach certain level of powers by mastering the core of their blood group. It was possible to achieve by unlocking the potential of their bloodline. Every blood group offered minimum hundred techniques which could be easily mastered.
{You should be able to excel and break the limitations, since you have powerful blood group. I can't really say how far you can go.}
"Do you think I would be able to awaken my powers?"
The 'bloodline awakening' class made it clear that a vampire needed to summon his inner core. Zaiden didn't want to admit that he might disappoint and fail in the regard.
{Of course! You are part human, and mix bloods had been powerful. You should trust your lineage and luck, kid.}
Zaiden had every chance to ace the tests and awaken his bloodline. What he lacked was faith in himself, his 'human part' feared the unknown. And now that Zaiden was trapped in vampire realm, he was bound to be successful.
"What do you mean by luck? I'm trapped here in this helpless situation, where a nonchalant king is hungry for my blood. And currently I'm hiding my identity because people would rip my head off, if they knew that my powers could be threat to them."
Zaiden burst out in ire, canons were slowly turning towards him. And he needed to pace up his awakening along with fight the politics.
{Will your hesitant behaviour help you in any way? You have to take the risk and begin your training.}
"Mhm, you are right. I have to overcome my fears and focus on achieving my goal."
The awakening of bloodline included the strengthening of the core. He already read the elements in the previous class. However, Zaiden had the advantage of chaos element. His powers were different from every other blood group. And the levels could be increased by mastering any technique.
{That's the spirit. Have you decided which element you want to pick to master?}
Noble vampires were nearly extinct and no one with O negative blood group had appeared in eons. Thus, there was no master available to teach Zaiden. But he had a other various opportunities to attain.
He could literally pick any elemental training and excel it. Because his chaos element could absorb every other existing element easily.
"I will go with AB positive, because of the result tests. Everyone knows about it and I'm already placed in that faculty."
AB positive was the most common bloodline which held fire element. It was most occurring element along with B positive. Zaiden leant all of them in his previous class, which disappointed him because the classes lacked on his element.
- AB positive | Fire element
- AB negative | Water element
- A positive | Wind element
- A negative | Earth element
- B positive | Electric element
- B negative | Thunder element
- O positive | Life element
- O negative | Chaos element
The class distinctions were created by the political enforcers to create a status quo accordingly wealth of the families. The family having strong ties with any person associated with the king was respectable.
Although only ancient lineages possessed the blood heirlooms. None of those powerful families were to be found after the disappearance of progenitor.
