It was around 7 in the morning and together with Frank I was heading to the university, we always took the same route on foot from our apartment, which only took about 20 min to get to the university, but this time we were going a little slower than usual for two reasons;
First, because as the exam week began today, we wanted to mentally prepare ourselves as best as possible.
And second, because Frank finally felt the pressure of the exam and wanted to study as much as possible on the way to college while reading my study notes.
For my part, I was walking at the same pace as Frank while I was deep thought, after a whole day of so many events I was already relatively calm about my situation, but there were still things that worried me.
Hana had mentioned to me that vampires are not the only supernatural beings that inhabited the planet, and that quite possibly even in the city there are many more types. But more than the diversity of these creatures I was concerned about how dangerous they could be, whenever any of these beings wanted to cause an uproar they could end dozens of lives before someone was able to stop them.
It was fine when I was ignorant of these hidden dangers, but now that I had one foot on "this" side I felt the urgent need to know more, as the saying goes "Knowledge is power" and the more prepared the better. Because if for some reason one of these dangerous beings decided to attack my small town, it would be able to defend it at least.
Thinking up to this point my mind became a bit contradictory, although I did not like the fact that they had turned me into a vampire without my consent, having become one cleared my sight and let me see what I was previously ignorant of. At least it gave me a little capacity to defend myself from the unknown, but it was impossible for me to fully accept my situation, much less be grateful to Lilah for this.
And here came my second concern, I had no idea what type of person Lilah was, in the past month I very rarely saw her at university and only knew her from rumors of her beauty or her apparent academic perfection. But, nothing about her character or personality, as if they deliberately avoided commenting too much on her.
From now on I would become a show pet for her, but it also meant that she had almost absolute control over me, and in case I was a crazy woman or with strange "hobbies" dark days would come for me ...
While I was lost in thought and Frank immersed in memorizing my study notes we had finally reached the university, the entrance was a large gate in the old style of the castle entrance, but it was so well kept that it maintained a rustic atmosphere at the same time It had a modern charm.
This was one of the oldest universities in the country and was founded in feudal times, having stood the test of time until this time, it had a unique charm that they had managed to keep almost intact, for this reason, it was very chosen among people with an interest in science. time of the nobles.
Due to being exam time, there was not much security at the entrance of the university, since they concentrated their efforts near the buildings where they would take place, and thus avoid any type of fraud.
Before long, both Frank and I were in our respective seats to begin the exam, Frank was still leafing through my study notes until the last minute trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible, while instead, I was very relaxed in my seat: This was because yesterday I had been able to study much more easily and efficiently than before, what was difficult for me to remember would remain in my mind the first time I read it and the long mathematical equations that always tangled me up were now easily solved.
Perhaps this was one of the benefits of being a vampire, although it was difficult to confirm it at least it was easier for him to concentrate than before. Without further ado, minutes after our arrival everyone in the room had already taken their seats and the exam was about to begin, they were only allowed to have on the desk a couple of pencils, a pencil sharpener, and an eraser.
Frank looked nervously at me from time to time, but I ignored him, being so confident before, but shaking like a puppy now? Without a doubt he was a difficult person to understand, once the exams and answer sheets were handed out I focused all my attention on the exam
The test was unexpectedly easier than I thought and I was able to easily solve most of the questions, only a few were able to hold me back or make me doubt, I was so focused that in just half an hour I had already solved more than half of the exam planned to solve in two hours, and that many could not even finish on time.
But that was when a strange and familiar sensation ran through my entire body giving me chills in an instant, loud echoes of heels hitting the ground began to resonate in my ears as I felt a familiar presence approach.
'She's here
I thought when I felt someone pass by my side and stand in front of my desk because I was concentrating on the exam I found myself bent over and with my head down so I could not see beyond this person's waist, but I already knew who he was.
'Lilah White is right in front of me!'
I could only partially see the long legs and slim waist in front of me, but only the presence I felt as she approached me had made me realize who she was, Lilah White, the noble pure-blood vampire who had unilaterally decided to leave me almost dead and then become a vampire, and the one whom from now on I would have to serve "faithfully."
I was about to look up when I suddenly remembered one of Hana's advice, among vampires the social status was very clear and strict, so much so that lower and middle-class vampires were forbidden to see noble vampires without their permission, for which would be extremely dangerous to look up at this time.
—It seems that in this short time you have learned some manners, but it was to be expected since I left Hana in charge of training you ... although it is a pity that in the end you only managed to become a low-class vampire, I hoped that by being in Erben part you could jump directly to classify as a middle-class vampire but maybe it only gives you future potential ...
Listening to her clear and elegant voice without emotions I was able to realize a bit of what kind of personality she had, a haughty and arrogant woman, who treats everyone in the world as toys or sources of entertainment without considering her feelings, at least that would be the impression. that you would take to notice his attitude in this situation.
But that's when I noticed the strangest thing about it, an extremely famous girl on campus had walked into the room in the middle of an important exam and talked to one of the students, but there was no reaction from the surroundings.
Looking around a bit, I noticed how everyone was strangely still while concentrating on their exams, more than still, they seemed to move in slow motion without noticing Lilah's presence in the room at all, even the teacher in charge who was watching the room seemed not to realize.
—Don't think about it too much, with a little hypnosis and illusion, anyone could sneak in here without being noticed, today I came mostly to take a look at you, as well as your first mission; You are forbidden to drink blood for at least a week, after this, I will personally prepare your first prey for you to graduate as a novice vampire. Until then you must practice your vampiric skills and find your "center".
As if noticing my previous thoughts and with the same apathetic voice I continue speaking, but it was a completely one-sided conversation where she simply ordered me to do, which in a way made me feel very angry.
"Hmm?" It seems that I hurt your male pride a bit, but if you can get angry just because of this it seems that there are still things about the vampiric hierarchy ... do you know why pureblood noble vampires have complete authority over half-bloods and inferiors? I ask while pausing a bit before continuing, "This is not simply due to social prejudices or because we believe that half-blood vampires or others are inferior, rather it is simply a matter of authority by descent, for example ...
When I got to the last words I suddenly felt a subtle change in the environment, which suddenly became a great tide that took hold of me wanting to throw me into a deep abyss, out of nowhere the blood in my body began to burn and tremble like If I was afraid of something or someone when I heard the following words from Lilah
—Look me in the eyes!
Hearing it an irresistible impulse took over my body when I suddenly raised my head and looked into her eyes against my will as if my body were a puppet controlled by strings I was unable to move a muscle while looking into her eyes, which had turned crimson and highlighted, even more, the beauty of her face
—The fact of having a purer bloodline automatically makes us their kings and owners, you don't need to think about it much just to know that you obey me not out of obligation or fear, you simply do it of your own free will ... the will of your body to serve me.
As I looked into her eyes, my body felt imprisoned and captivated, unable to resist her orders, but at the same time, I felt a great sensation of pressure through my veins, as if they were trembling with fear, and asked me to look away from their eyes. eyes, but I resisted until the last moment this urge to maintain the pride that I carried in my heart.
Noticing this, the serious and unsympathetic face that Lilah kept was broken for the first time when a small smile slid across her lips.
—It seems that your eyes are really special, it is good that I did not waste my precious blood turning you into a vampire, I expect great things from you ... by the way, check some of your answers, these tests can be more misleading than they appear.
He said before patting my head gently and leaving, the moment his presence disappeared I felt as if a heavy load fell from my shoulders and my entire body was released, and at the same time everything around returned to normal, the students continued to concentrate on his exams at a normal speed and the teacher in charge of supervising looked at me strangely due to the mental fatigue that my face showed and the amount of sweat I had from the previous meeting as if thinking
'Was the test we gave you that difficult?'
And not wanting to pay more attention to the matter, I returned my attention to the exam and began to solve it, not without first reviewing the previous questions again ...
Finally, I turned in my first exam of the day with ten minutes to go to the first hour, as Lilah had pointed out there were some questions that after rereading them I noticed that I had misunderstood them and I was able to correct them, it seems that I was not such a bad person at the end of the day, and with more After an hour of overtime for early delivery I continued to my next exam room after stopping by the cafeteria to fill myself with energy, I felt that today would be a great day to get good grades.
In the meantime…
In a room on the top floor of a large building located in the center of the university, three women were currently talking, two were standing respectfully next to Lilah who was sitting in the center of the room, one was Hana and the other Emily. , who was also the beautiful woman who bit Frank in the previous incident.
—And how did you think of the new member that you converted miss?
Hana asked respectfully as she leaned towards Lilah
"Mmm, well, although it was a pity that he did not turn directly into a middle-class vampire after the transformation I think he has good potential, at least it will be quite interesting to see his future development."
She responded a bit listlessly as she fiddled with a wine glass filled with a bubbly red liquid in her hand.
Hearing her answer Emily who was on the other side hesitated a bit before stepping forward and asking her while bowing respectfully
"Miss, I'd like to ask you why you decided to take such a risk by transforming that boy into a vampire, knowing that he was quite possibly an Erben and still wasting so much of your precious blood in the process."
After listening to her, Lilah was silent for a while as if thinking about something before speaking.
—It was because of a small… premonition, the moment I absorbed his blood with my nails my clairvoyance ability had a small reaction, briefly showing me a very interesting scene that gave me the urge to transform and play with him.
Feeling even more curious about Lilah's half answer this time it was Hana who stepped forward and continued asking.
"And miss, this scene was ...
Noticing the clear curiosity of her two close and former assistants Lilah finally fixed her deep gaze on the wine glass she was toying with before deciding to answer.
—It was a sea ... or more than a sea it was a vast and deep ocean, which drowned and sucked you deeper every moment, but strangely you could not feel fear or worry, only emptiness and relaxation as if all your problems and thoughts were washed away by the waves.
He paused to shift his gaze from the cup before briefly glancing at his two faithful servants.
"Although it was a shame that he turned out to be so normal despite being a vampire turned from an Erben, I think there is value in seeing his future progress as today I vaguely felt that sensation in his eyes again as he challenged the bloodline pressure." So I'm leaving it up to you until something interesting happens, Hana.
Taking a step back before turning and leaving Hana replied
-Yes my Lady.
And as Emily and Hana left the room leaving Lilah alone, she let a small smile escape her lips as she finally drank the boiling red liquid from her glass and blurted out a few last words.
-Interesting…
