"Welcome to Myriad Academy, future Vamyrs." the two ladies said.
'Vamyrs?'
In between them, a black portal appeared, "As you already know, there's a required fee to pay to be able to enter the academy. Make sure you have the given amount of gold in you before entering. A system will guide you inside and after putting in your information after that, another portal will appear in front of you. It leads to the Academy arena where the opening ceremony will be held. It will start at 10 minutes so make sure to be quick. That will be all, you may now cross the portal."
The three of us smiled at each other and entered the portal together with the other vampires, but when I finally got in, it was only me.
I'm inside a white dimension. A screen as big as me suddenly popped up and it shows '000 G'.
It scanned my body and the number started counting from 1 until it reached 100. I felt my bag lightens. It probably already took 100 golds from my bag.
The screen changed and it shows, 'Student Data'
I started to fill it quickly. The ceremony will start 8 mins from now.

***
Too many questions. I left empty almost all of it. It took me 3 minutes to finish.
After entering, a light came from below my foot, it was too dazzling so I closed my eyes for a bit. When I opened it again, the screen turned into a mirror and I saw my whole appearance. I'm now wearing a uniform. Black above the knee-high waist pleated skirt, black long sleeve blouse with a sailor navy collar, and a black sailor cap.
'So am I entering an Academy, mall, or a freaking ship?'
'Mou!'
My eyes went to the screen when something popped out and a voice starts saying something.
" Processing Academy Requirements ; school bag + identification card + 2 LCD tablets + two pens + debit card + dorm key + class sched + Academy map + Academy book guide + location pin : Requirements Complete. "
All the things she mentioned went inside the black bag and all of a sudden, the bag appeared right in front of me. I quickly caught it before it fell to the ground.
"Requirement's all done. Welcome to Myriad Academy, Vamyr." after saying that, the screen turned into a portal.
'Shimatta!' I quickly entered the portal. I almost forgot the time.
I looked around and found myself in the wide field together with so many students who were also wearing uniforms the same as mine. The uniform of boys is a black long sleeve polo, black pants, and a black sailor cap.
I felt gazes coming from above, I looked up and saw students wearing the same uniform as us below, the only difference is the color– they were wearing gray uniforms, and above them are students wearing a white uniform. But what really caught my attention is their eyes. They're looking at us with disdain with those filthy scarlet eyes.
They're probably nobles and royals. I feel my blood boiling up but then I felt a hand tapping on my shoulder.
"Azaria."
I faced who was behind me and saw Zein. "Calm down. The smell of your blood might get exposed if you get too worked up," she said.
I closed my eyes and blew a heavy sigh before looking at her again. I smiled and said, "You look cute."
She chuckled, "You too. You're more beautiful even with black uniform than the ones above us." She said and winked. She's referring to the students wearing the white ones above.
"Alright, attention here young ladies and gentlemen." the whole campus went silent and our attention went to the stage where the voice came from. "Ohh, I knew it! The new uniform really suits you!" and his laughter echoed all over the place. Everyone looked displeased by what he said though.
"Yeah right, we look like we're about to sail a ship any moment from now." A girl from above us commented irritatedly. Everyone heard it and laughed even the emcee in front.
"Well, I must thank you for livening up the atmosphere here Ms. Lionel." I saw his smirk at the student that had spoken earlier. They must have known each other. "Alright, alright. Btw, I'm Ryker Maxwell Greyson, the senior's new handsome mathematics professor, and will be your emcee for today. And, Welcome to Myriad Academy, Vamyrs." He gave us a genuine smile before walking to the other side of the stage.
"Let me first introduce the important personnel and staff of the academy and also the new professors and trainers."
"First, the Academy Headmaster, Sir Gregor Silvestro." A professional-looking man appeared in front of the stage. He looks like he's in his 20's or 30's. "Next is our Academy guardian elders." On both sides of the HM, black-suited vampires appeared. The two ladies that guided us in front of the academy are among them. There are about 30 of them and none of them looked like an elder at all— oh right, this is the world of vampires.
All the students suddenly kneeled down even the students wearing gray and white uniforms.
Zein pulled me so I had no choice but to do the same.
"Oh knights of the purest blood, grunt us your guide and we will entrust our life upon your hands." all the students said but what surprised me is when the vampires in front of us also knelt down even the HM.
"Our faith lies upon you, blessed fledgers. We ought to offer you our guide for you shall protect thy kings that will soon give light into the realm of vampires." the elders vowed back.
'What the hell are they saying? I don't understand a thing!!'
After the elders stood up and sat on their given sits in front, the students stood up too.
I thought Zein and Zello were just overacting when they did the same to me… this must really be their way of showing respect.
Speaking of Zello, he must be in the front line. I see little kiddoes there of just the same height as him.
After that, the emcee introduced the other staff and lastly, the new professors.
"May I please call in front the new handsome and gorgeous proffs."
Four young-looking vampires came up to the stage. If they wear the uniform we're using right now, they'll probably look like our schoolmates. They were wearing casual clothes and none of them looked happy to be in there, the emcee seems to be enjoying it. I guess they're close to each other.
"This time, we'll be introducing ourselves individually. As I said earlier, I'm Ryker Maxwell Greyson, you may call me Sir. Max. I'm the new mathematics proff. of senior students." and he winked. I can't deny that he really is a handsome man, charming if I may, so it wasn't surprising to hear how the ladies squealed, just that he looks quite playful.
The mic was passed down to a cute-looking lady. She has glasses that really suit her. She smiled sweetly and that made the boys roared, the guy beside her doesn't seem pleased with it… hmmm.
"Hi! I'm Maisy Mckenna, you may call just me Ms. Mae. I'll be the senior's new magic instructor. I hope to get along with you."
The guy beside him quickly took the mic looking so grim that the boys were instantly silenced, "Archer Lykaios, call me SIR. Archer. Seniors, new combat trainer. Make a move to any of the ladies beside me and I can't guarantee that you'll leave my class ALIVE." It's obvious that he's only talking about Ms. Mae.
The serious-looking woman from his other side also took the mic quickly from him, "Puts boundaries but never makes a move. What a laugh." She commented. Sir Archer just glared at her. The students giggled upon seeing their very very close friendship. "I'm Eloise Evans. Call me Ms. Evans. I'll be the senior's new magic enhancer. My class will primarily take part outside the academy so I want everyone to be prepared for every danger that you will be facing EVERYDAY. " Everyone fell silent. Almost everyone looked nervous most especially the students above.
The atmosphere lighten when the last vampire took the mic. He's… handsome. I mean all of them are undeniably charming in their own ways but this guy, he's effortlessly looked so hot. His eyes look tired and his mind seems to be floating on some other planet. But that's none of my business, what I'm curious about is the heat I'm feeling inside my body. There's a feeling of longing that I can't explain while looking at him. I tried smelling his blood but just like me, it was concealed. Actually, I can't smell the blood of any of them.
"Ezekiel Blaze Matthias, history lecturer—" he stopped talking when our eyes met. There are a lot of students beside me but I know, he's looking at me. He suddenly held to his head tightly like he was in pain… the vampires beside him looked up to him but he doesn't seem to hear anything. The students also started to panic.
When the mic he was holding fell to the ground, the loud thud echoed all over but the echo I hear seemed different… it's getting painful…
"Azaria? Azaria, what's wrong?"
"Oh ghod! Azaria!"
