Even after returning to their own rooms, they were communicating via telepathy. Adam was together with Cel though.
"So what exactly is going on Addy..?" Hearing Cel, he turned towards her.
"Just as I said previously, it seems someone else, or some other world, found about us. I don't know what kind of advantage this world has for them to plan something. However if my guess is right, then the whole world will be in danger."
This time Celeste was greatly affected by his words. She asked, "Please explain ..?"
He nodded. "In my previous life, the knowledge from there always tells an extraterrestrial enemy planning an attack on the world of humans. Although I don't know what kind of race they are, I can tell with confidence that they aren't good people. What I felt from it was the smell of death and the screams of innocent lives."
'.....!'
His words made the girls gasp. He then remembered what happened during that moment....

When the girl was activating her magic to attack him, Adam was able to feel that it was stronger than the average Advanced level. After using his Omniscient eye he was able to see a presence lurking in the girl's shadow. At first he thought it was a demon planning something. However his thoughts were stopped when he heard Maya's words.
« Adam. Be careful. It is not a demon. Or rather, it isn't a race from this world »
Her words made him think. 'Could it be from another world..?'
« That's right Adam. However, being possessed on her body is not a demon. It is similar to the demons. However, their strength is off the charts from normal demons. This one actually is strong as a Master Magus level. I also don't think this is their strength. »
Although he could see this presence. He wasn't able to see through their status or race. So as he was wondering what to do, he sensed the girl borrowing a strange power from the shadow. Since they were within the crowd, he instantly activated his newly created Anti-Magic barrier. With it, he was able to stop her.

"I don't know what to say. The one who is with that girl is strong as a Master Magus. We can't be sure that it is their strongest fighting power."
Cel was in deep contemplation. Master Magus wasn't a level she would think is a problem. However, if there's multiple of them, and others with even more strength, this world is bound to meet its end.
"We will wait till it acts. If we did something so early, we won't be given any time to prepare ourselves for the future battles. So what we can do is to watch her and her movements."
The girls nodded. They too understood the seriousness of the situation. Then after talking a little more, they decided to rest.

'I should try to get stronger as much as possible. Also I have to warn other races as well. If we are talking about an all-out war, since the whole world is facing danger, then all of us will die easily if we can't work together.'
He wanted to move now and start everything. However, he couldn't move as he likes, because he is an academy student now. If he wants to do as he likes, he needs the approval of the headmaster.
Feeling a little tense, he decided to take a walk. Activating his invisibility and hiding his presence, he jumped out of the window. As he was thinking all this while walking through the garden, he heard a sound.
"..."
It was faint. But sharpening his senses, he was able to understand that it was a sound of sniffling. Following the voice he reached a building with a rounded design and four pillars, in the centre of a small pond.
He was actually quite surprised to find this place to be so beautiful at night. However his face changed when he saw the owner of the voice. Although he doesn't know how he feels about this person, he still wasn't sure if they were enemies or not.
Walking closer to this person, he surprised her, his teacher, Jace by the sound of his steps. Startled by the disturbance, she suddenly turned towards him. However when she saw it was Adam, her whole body relaxed. However she asked,
"What are you doing here..?"
Shrugging his shoulders, he said, "Sorry teacher. I didn't know this place was off limits for students. I came here after hearing someone crying. So if you want me to leave, I will do so now."
He wanted to ask why she was crying. However feeling awkward due to their previous situation, he decided to go. However he was stopped by Jace as she asked, "Aren't you gonna ask me why I was crying ....?"
He stopped and looked straight into her eyes and said "You are my teacher. I want to ask you. However I didn't want you to think that I am overstepping my boundaries. Since you asked me, let me repeat it, What happened to the teacher..?"
Though she wanted to say don't mind her words, she swallowed it when heard his words. Then waving him towards her, she patted the seat near her and said,
"Take a seat. Although It is because of me, I'd still like to ask you, do you really want to hear it..? It might not be very interesting. It would be long too."
She really wondered if she should tell him, however since he knew about her true identity, it didn't seem to be a problem. Hearing her, he nodded before surprising her by placing some snacks with a plate, and two bottles of wine from his space storage.
"How..?"
"Are you not going to say anything about it teacher..?"
Thus she understood he doesn't want to talk about his abilities. She was sad after knowing that he still doesn't trust her after knowing her secret. She however shook her head and said,
"You are right. I am sorry."
"There's no need to apologize. Just talk. If you think you can ease your burden by talking to me, I don't mind. In fact if you want to, I will help you as well."
Though she was happy knowing he wanted her to ease her own burdens, her mind stopped when she heard him saying, he will help her. However she shook her head and said,
"Although I am happy to know you might want to help me, I want to do it with my own hands. It is my promise after all. Besides, even if you are stronger than me, that doesn't make you invincible. There are a lot of unknown dangers in this world after all...."
She never talked about her family problems. However Adam had some guesses as to why she is so stressed. After drinking a small glass of wine she smiled before saying,
"As you know, I was a Royal vampire. In fact, the reason for the name is not actually because I am a royalty. But after a vampire evolves, they become a strong race known as Royal Vampires. But evolution is only possible for those with my family's bloodline. Of course I was able to because I am royalty as well."
Pouring another drink for her Adam took his own before she continued saying, "I had a little sister. She was the only family I had after my father. My mother died after my sister's birth. My father was a Magic King level Vampire king. However when one of his trusted aides, planned a coup d'etat, he was forced to act. And we don't know how, the betrayed aide actually became a Magic King Level Vampire and killed my father. Even if he became a Magic king level, it was impossible to kill my father who is experienced in fighting for years. However he was defeated and killed. The betrayer aide took the throne."
There was a sudden surge of anger and pain in her eyes when she mentioned her father's death.
"After my father's death, we were abandoned by my own people. Only me and my sister were left. We decided to leave our country as we were powerless. And there were only two of us against so many vampires. However our plans were found. We were caught easily. As we were thinking what to do to escape, my sister did something I wished never happened."
There was a deep melancholy in her face this time.Theree was tears welling from the corners of her eyes.
"I don't know how, she activated forbidden blood magic. I wanted to stop her. However she said, 'You have to get revenge for our father, Sister. I am very weak. I will only become a burden to you. So I will use this useless life to save you'...."
She was starting to sniffle again. Even without his omniscient eyes, he can say she was saying the truth. However his eyes widened when he saw her face which he thought was weird now glistening under the moon light mesmerizingly. He shook his head to clear his thoughts before continuing to hear her words.
"She pushed me aside and activated the forbidden blood art. I don't know what it is. But I heard her saying, 'Soul Explosion'. After that, her body exploded like... I don't know, it was too much of a dangerous magic. I thought if I wait, I can save her. However what I found was only her...."
Her words stopped. He understood without even saying. She began crying again silently. He didn't say anything.
"After knowing the truth that she left me, I ran towards a forest. In that forest, I met the king of this country. He was the one who helped me and made me a teacher. You know what happened after that...."
He was silent. He felt some truths from her words. 'How can a newbie Magic king kill an experienced Magic king..? Could it have anything to do with the same race that possessed that girl...? If so, it makes sense. Besides that forbidden magic, soul explosion is not something anyone can learn. Those from this world don't have any knowledge about souls. So it must be something outside of this world. They must have already planned everything beforehand....'
He was awakened from the thoughts when she said, "Thank you for hearing me out Adam. I was able to say this to you, since you already know my identity. It's very hard to hold back my desire for revenge."
"There's no need to thank me, teacher. Just say that I trust you now more after hearing your life. Since you already said you don't need my strength, I will promise you something. It isn't because of something. It's just my selfishness."
"Uh...?"
"I promise you that, until you enact your revenge, I will protect you."
His words were happy news, however she was confused. "Although I am happy, my enemies are Magic king level or near. I know you are strong. But these enemies are too strong for you."
Adam smiled teasingly and said, "What's this..? Even though I decided to trust you, you don't trust me? Aren't you too cruel teacher..?"
His words made her fluster as she didn't want him to think she wasn't trusting him. So she said,
"No. That's not what I am saying...."
He smiled before saying in a flat tone, "Don't worry about it, teacher. I was only teasing you."
"Ha..? You little..! You want to tease your teacher...!?" She asked in a fake angry voice. However his next words made her face go deep crimson red.
"Yes. I want to tease you, Jace~~"
He was even calling her by her name. However she ignored it before turning her face and puffing her cheeks.
"A pouting Jace is cute too~~" He still continued. He was trying to cheer her up. However he would never have thought it would come to bite him back.
"You...!" She began beating his chest with powerless fists adorably. Then as if her switch had been flipped, she jumped on him. This time Adam wasn't angry at her, as he trusted her.
They both fell down with a thud before Jace took a pose of riding Adam. He smiled seeing her blushing, but she was staring at him. He pushed his hand to her before asking, "Do you want blood..?" Her eyes opened wide. However she decided to tease him a little as she asked,
"I do. However, I want to drink from here~~" She said pointing her sharp nail at his neck. However her teasing smile broke when she saw his turning dark. She wanted to apologize, however he surprised her by saying, "Go ahead. I was only teasing you a little. I am not really bothered by it."
Her heart thumped hard when she heard his words. She gulped before asking, "Are you sure..?" Even the first time she drank his blood, she could tell that it was very nutrient rich blood. It was even making her stronger slowly. She felt like she couldn't drink the blood of anyone else anymore. Now however hearing, she can drink his blood again, her giddiness increased.
Lowering her mouth to his collar bone she opened it before licking the part where she is planning to bite.
Feeling something hot touch his collar bone, he felt his body turning hot. He brought his hands to her waist before locking her in place. Though she tensed suddenly, she relaxed right away as well.
Still sucking his skin, she opened her mouth wide to show her sharp canines, her eyes turning dark crimson, she pressed her tooth into his skin.
Feeling a light pain as well as pleasure when she used her tongue to help him feel okay, Adam hugged her body closer. Although she became a little greedy and tried to drink more than she could, he still didn't stop her.
Pulling away from his bleeding neck, she licked her blood filled lips before lowering again and licking his wound clean. After cleaning his neck she once again pulled back and looked straight into his eyes. In his deep amethyst eyes, she could see her own reflection looking back at her. Lowering her gaze, her eyes fell on his open lips.
Feeling her body turning hot and bothered, she shook her head before sitting straight on his waist. She said, "Although I am happy knowing you trust enough not to stop me drinking your blood, I still think we shouldn't be that close. If in any case they come for me, I don't want to bring any trouble to you."
Her words were kind of sad to him. However he smiled before he said after erecting a sound proof barrier, "You probably won't believe me when I say this. But, I am probably the strongest being in this world you know..?"
"Ha...?" She made a stupid sound...
