Absalom got into the mana class and much to his shock found out that there were quite a lot of people here.
It seems mana is really cherished here' Absalom thought.
Walking into the backseat in order to not attract any unnecessary attention, his efforts were put in the drain as Ariel came right by him to sit in the empty seat beside him.
"You know, you are hurting yourself, wouldn't you like to mingle with the people of your class" Absalom said with a hint of disdain as he looked at the stupid and jealous faces of the people in front of him especially the males who stopped focusing for the lesson.
' Why is Ariel sticking around a nobody like him. ' A chubby boy whispered to the young lady by him.
'Hey maybe she fell in love with his face, I mean not many can resist an irresistible face like him. ' the girl whispered back.
'Hey we're barely fourteen how could you think of them having a sexual relationship, pervert' the chubby boy reprimanded her.
Meanwhile, Obarnel, the son of Loki the ruler of the serpent kin kissed his teeth as he saw what unfolded before his eyes.
The serpent Kingdom stretched as far as owning an entire galaxy themselves were below the dragon Kingdom as the cunning Loki had plans of establishing a pact with the dragon kind.
Obarnel had informed his father about his feelings for Ariel the dragon princess who has infinite potential.
And his father had encouraged him to man up for his feelings and start seeing if he could perhaps make the dragon princess fall in love with him.
That was the main reason why he had even applied to the academy and even chosen the mana class as he has used his father's connectionz to find out what class Ariel was attending.
Heck, he had even selected a spot which had an empty seat beside it. Hoping Ariel would forget about the handsome bastard and come sit by him however he had been very disappointed as Ariel stuck to Absalom like glue.
' I'll make you pay for this Absalom' Obarnel thought as he made his first enemy in the school.
After a very boring lesson for Absalom who had listened to the teacher talk about the basics of mana.
To the other students this was mind-blowing as they saw a new insight to throw power.
However Absalom already knew this and even knew the complications of mana, it was said that his father has an affinity for all elements and that was what Absalom was hoping for get. As he wanted to start learning new skill from the various elements however he had been very disappointed.
' I'll be joining the combat class tomorrow' Absalom thought to himself.
"Ariel and Obarnel, haha.. even your names rhyme wait behind the rest of you are dismissed" The teacher said as Absalom instantly realized what was going on and looked at a distraught Ariel who clearly didn't want to leave Absalom alone.
"Don't worry I'll be at the combat arena" Absalom reassured Ariel. With a visibly relaxed look she said " okay I won't be long"
Roaming the halls Absalom walked towards the library as he wanted to research on how to develop his skills.
"If it isn't Ariel's slave" A boy said with four people following behind him. Ignoring them, Absalom turned on his heel asba primal feeling began to overtake his senses.
He was a devilish vampire, a vampire type that has arrogance levels even higher than dragons as his primal self detested being called a slave.
"Hey we are talking to you" the boy said angrily as he held Absalom's shoulder.
"Let go of me filthy lowlife" Absalom said in a voice that sounded like it was from the gates of hell itself as his eyes burned with red light.
His claws elongated and the boys felt their blood turn cold in fear under his gaze.
'Wh- What.. are you" one of the others said in a very scared voice as he looked at Absalom who looked like he was one step away from killing them.
They felt like poultry chickens who had been locked in a closed space with a tiger.
With a flick of his claws Absalom accidentally scratched the arm of the boy who placed his arm on his shoulder.
With the blood spilling from the boy's wound. They watched as Absalom eyes turned feral as his sharp canines appeared.
They watched as Absalom was visibly sweating as if trying his best to hold himself back.
'Monster ' they all thought as they watched Absalom look into their eyes intently with eyes that looked like they had lost all reason.
(Ariel)
Ariel looked in disgust as Obarnel tries his maximum best to sway her. Obarnel was in no means an ugly dude however compared to the powerful and charismatic charming Absalom he was akin to a sickly madman.
"Don't waste your time, you are too weak and too ugly for me to like you, snake" Ariel said fearlessly as she knew he couldn't intimidate her when her father was basically a ruler.
Normally such an insult could result in the culprits entire family being wiped out however who would dare to even think of going against her mother. Not to even speak of her father.
"What are you saying, me ugly, weak?" Obarnel said in fury as he almost sprang upon Ariel who formed a flame ball in her hand clearly not scared of him in the slightest.
She was about to hurl it at him when she felt her blood run cold.
It was Absalom, his bloodlust had consumed him again she realized as she darted to where she could sense his huge mana.
"I hope I'm not too late" she thought as she remembered a scene of Absalom surrounded by dozens of corpses when he last lost himself to his bloodlust
