A few days passed after the Training Period of the new recruits ended. As stated before, only 30 candidates made it to the Blood Hounds, the elite of the new assassin squads that were to serve the military.
During the 2 month training period under Rheagar and Ethan, all the vampire children were taught few essential skills.
Not everyone managed to master them but those who did, were considered top of the group.
There were prominently 4 skills that stood out which were regarded as the best of the best.
From Mentor Ethan, Vlad learned 2 Illusion Arts.
1. Shadow Bound: This skill helped the user become one with shadows in the nearby 10-meter radius. Allowing them to hide or enter stealth in conspicuous places during their missions.
In actuality, it just created a thin layer of illusion magic which helped them become part of the black shadows while hiding the user's body by reflecting and refracting all external lights.
