Returning to the academy, Adam and Jace waited till night time, to gather the girls inside his room via the Gate. Although he already said it is very important, they were unaware of everything. So when they arrived, all of them had a questioning face.
"Sorry for calling you all here this late."
"Don't mind it Addy. But what happened..?"
Amy asked in a concerned voice. Adam caressed her head and said, "It's about Jace. I already told you guys she's a vampire right..? So, her little sister, who she loves very much has been captured by the current king."
Saying this, he retold them the story.

After finishing he said, "So yesterday someone attacked her. When asked we only got information about her being alive and she's going to be used as a sacrifice for the current king. She wants to save her sister. However, with her strength, it is currently impossible. That's why I told her, I will help her. However we wanted to tell you all about it."
Hearing this, the girls happily nodded. However their faces changed when they remembered Jace's sufferings. Then with a complicated face, Xe said while looking at Adam,
"Even if she's saying she doesn't want to marry you, we know that you won't let that be. We want to help our sister. But, we don't have such might to do so. Besides, we all know the importance of family. So I want her sister to be saved." The girls nodded to themselves. Then, Amy continued Xe's words, "Addy...we want to help too. And like I said, we don't have the strength to do that. However, whatever it is, we will do everything with our best capabilities. So take us with you."
The other girls were on the same page as her. However Adam said, "In fact I wanted to take you girls. However, it will be during our training. In other words, if we all disappear from the place, it will become a huge commotion. Also I need you guys to do something else as well. During, the training, you girls will be the strongest ones. If something were to go wrong, I can rest assured knowing all others are safe."
"Wait! I am staying as well..?" Cel asked in a confused voice. Adam nodded and said, "Yes. If you are with them, I can be at ease. Also you don't have to worry about the vampire king, as he can't do anything to me. So I'll be fine. So please take care of them, okay..?" He said ruffling her hair.
She already was thinking about how he can fight in case of emergency. If she was with him, no one can defeat them, so wanted to be with him to make sure. However trusting him, she accepted his words. Then he turned towards the others and said,
"After the training is officially started, we both will leave for the vampire kingdom. It is actually quite far away. So it will take some time. To make sure no one finds out about my absence, I will send a clone with you girls. Jace would be taking days off till the training is finished. So train well and get stronger okay...? But make sure to do so in moderation."
Stopping his words, he smiled at them. The three girls felt pain when they heard him saying he felt more at ease with Cel. They knew they were weak compared to Adam. So they too felt threatened that he would leave them. They know he wouldn't do that however. So they all made a determined face with fire exploding inside their eyes.
Nodding in satisfaction for their determination he smiled.

A week later...
All the first year students were waiting in front of a high tower-like object. However there wasn't any opening around its walls. As they were wondering what was going to happen, the old man who tested their magic affinities came forward before saying,
"You will now be allowed to enter the Underground Tomb. As told before, you can go with your own decided teams. Try to gain as much profit from the training. You can train with whatever you can find inside it. Be it fighting monsters, getting new sword or other weapon techniques, or if lucky, finding an artifact."
Hearing this, all students were excited. They never thought about anything too hard to think, however Adam thought inwardly, 'is this a dungeon..?'
In their class, they taught that they were ancient tombs which appeared due to some natural phenomenons. No one knew about its origin.
'They are probably dungeons. However, no one knows about it. Since it is a dungeon, it is natural that they found some treasure from inside.' He thought again.
As they already decided to be on the same team, he and the girls were one team whereas Raiser, Rubelia and surprisingly Leloria became a second team with one more classmate.
After walking away from the teachers, and making sure that no one else is around, Adam turned towards the girls and said, "Well then, I'll be off." As he finished, Cel manifested next to him. Amy and the girls said, "Be safe." before a clone figure appeared next to them.
Unfortunately, even though he can leave his clone with the girls, it can't do anything independent. It's hard to control without being near it too. So it was only a doll that looked just like him. However, letting Cel possess his clone, she was able to control it easily. Now there won't be any problems even if someone tries to talk to him.
Saying his words, he opened a gate before passing through it.

Reaching Jace's room, he was unsurprised to find, Jace was waiting for him. However what surprised him was her clothing. She was wearing a tight black top and pants. Touching her shoulder, Adam could tell that it was a jacket made of monster skin.
"It looks good on you or... rather sexy...?" He said as he hugged her from behind, gently rubbing her stomach.
His words made her face bloom with a smile. Then hugging his body closer, she kissed him deeply before saying, "I am ready." Nodding, Adam activated his own version of clothing, but with illusion as he turned into a different person.
His hair changed its color and became black. He was wearing a long knee reaching black jacket and black pants. Only his face remained similar to his own but a little older.
It was similar to a character from a famous anime. It is called Sword Art Online. In that anime the main character called Kirito, or kirigaya kazuto, was a swordsman wearing the similar getup as him. The only difference was that he wasn't carrying a sword on his back. He actually disguised like one of the characters of an anime because nobody knows about it in this world.
Seeing him transform into a different person, she was stupefied. However she smiled before asking,
"That's a great technique. Being able to transform into whatever you like, even including the clothes is too much of a broken technique."
He wanted to say, he can teach her. However thinking it's not time yet, he opened the gate to the same forbidden forest and defeated the werewolf.
Passing through the gate, Adam said in a different voice, thanks to his little training , "Since I haven't been to this vampire kingdom, I can't use the gate. So let's fly there."
He said. As it was already noon, when they entered the tower, when they travelled to the forest, it was still middle noon.
Hearing his words, Jace was still covering her face due to the sunlight. Then a black beautiful pair of wings sprouted from behind her. It was actually quite big. Then she flapped it fast before floating to the sky. It seems their wings aren't weak to sunlight but their skin is.
Not wanting to be left behind, Adam floated in the air before they both flew like jets to their destination....
