After six months,
Rael looked at his body in front of the bathroom mirror. It had been six months since he started training with Jonathan, and they were the second worst six months of his life, after the six months he spent in Alex's laboratory.
Every day, he trained for five hours with intense physical exercises, followed by two hours of dagger combat training. Whenever his body got injured or exhausted, he would take some sort of potion to heal and replenish himself with nutrients. Thus, he couldn't stop claiming that he needed rest to recover.
But when he looked at his body in the mirror, he knew that the exhaustion of these months had not been in vain. He had grown much taller, reaching a height of one and a half meters, and his previously slim body had transformed into a muscular one. Although he wasn't massive, all his muscles were prominent and well-defined, giving him both strength and agility.
During these six months, Rael had completely transformed into a half-vampire. His skin had turned pale white, his front fangs had lengthened,and with a thought he can make them even taller and absorb blood .
his eyes had become purple with a hint of red
and his black hair have purple and red rays enhancing his appearance.
"With this face and body, I'll definitely be able to attract many girls," Rael thought,
While he was feeding his ego in front of the bathroom mirror.
In another room, Lina, Elliot, and Jonathan were gathered around a table discussing the faction's situation.
"Jonathan, how is Rael's training going?" Lina asked.
"No need to worry, young lady. His fitness has improved tremendously during this period. Moreover, he's been dedicatedly working for these six months, never complaining or asking for a break even once. With his talent, he will be a very valuable assistant," Jonathan assured.
After hearing Jonathan's words, Lina turned to Elliot and asked, "How is the registration process going at the academy?"
"Although it's a bit bothersome, with the Dean's support, all the procedures are proceeding steadily. Rael will enter the Night Shield Academy at the beginning of the new school year. However, I fear that our enemies might cause a commotion due to his half-human nature," Elliot replied.
"Don't worry, even if those old fogies object, they won't dare to take any action. After all, the Dean is one of the strongest vampires, and he and many other professors have warned the nobles repeatedly that any attempt to interfere with the academy will result in severe consequences. At this critical juncture, they won't dare to take any risks," Jonathan reassured.
After discussing a few other matters, the three of them went their separate ways.
A few days later,
Rael woke up in the morning, full of energy. He had taken a break yesterday because he was heading to the Night Shield Academy today.
Elliot had already briefed him on the academy's rules. Being the first academy within the vampire kingdom, Night Shield Academy had high standards. The applicant's spiritual root had to be at least second-grade, and they needed an A-level affinity.
Moreover, the academy was located in a small world known only to a select few.
Furthermore, there was no discrimination based on background or social status. Every student received the same resources and education, and their success depended solely on their talent and hard work.
Graduation requirements were to reach the average level of a intermediate magus master within five years at the academy.
Although these requirements seemed very challenging, a diploma from Night Shield Academy was recognized throughout the entire Zifiria continent. Graduates were a group of experts among experts, taught in subjects ranging from politics to military arts and the history of the continent and many other.
Impressed with the teaching philosophy of the academy and its ability to avoid external interference, Rael decided to give his all and reach the top of the academy.
After showering and having breakfast, Rael and Elliot headed to the fourth floor, where the teleportation room to the academy was located.
Elliot informed him that a representative from the academy had come earlier and set the coordinates for the teleportation. After they used it, the coordinates would be automatically erased. Any attempt to find the academy's location would trigger self-destruction and alert the academy.
When they reached the room, they found the third princess waiting for them. She had already told Rael to give his best and not slack off.
She activated a magical circle around him, and after a few seconds, Rael disappeared from the spot.
