Absalom felt his world time gray once he heard the words that came from Mariel's mouth. Hey didn't know how but as he gazed into the eyes of this girl who could perhaps end his academy life when before it started.
"So you know about my little secret" Absalom said in an icy calm tone that held a bit of a threat behind them as he tried to intimidate her unconsciously.
"If killing more than a dozen level 2 stuff and above alongside the sons of some nobles is a small secret, then yeah I know about your 'little secret' she replied back in a similar tone although a bit shaky.
" So what do you want from me ?" Absalom tried to reason with her. He gazed deeply into her eyes trying to see what she planned on doing to him.
"Well, I know that wasn't something you could control, as your eyes back then weren't the same eyes you have here"
She said in a clearly concerned tone.
"And since I'm your roommate, I think I'm the one who is most prone to damage should what happened back there happen again.
Mariel put down her fears, not bothering to hide anything from Absalom as she made it clear that she didn't want to blackmail him or anything of the sorts however she was genuinely concerned about her well being as she knew very well she wouldn't survive if Absalom went into that form of his around her
*Sigh.
Absalom sighed in obvious relief as he realized how Mariel truly felt about his situation.
Knowing that to at least make her confident in him he had to at least let go off one of his secrets.
"Well I'm a type of vampire that finds it hard to control their lust for blood" Absalom sincerely said
And when I lose myself into the lust for blood that's what happens he said.
*And what causes that and how can we stop it" Mariel asked.
"You don't have to worry it has happened just twice in my life and now that or has happened my bloodlust will be a bit tame for quite a while" He reassured her.
Mariel nodded her head as she walked out of the door. I'm going to the forest zones to go and hunt some beasts to try to increase my levels.
" I thought that was illegal" Absalom frowned.
"So Is killing on campus so I was wondering whether we could go and level up together.
The beasts there are too dangerous as even as a level two I will have difficulty dealing with a level 1 beast.
"However I know with you and your strength we would be able to handle ourselves fairly well." She said, indirectly asking him to join her.
Pondering over it, Absalom found it extremely tempting. For one, his first day at the academy had made him realize that although all this theory he was being thought was nice and all, if his level wasn't high enough then it would all be for nothing.
"Fine however I have one More person who I would like to join us"
Absalom said as Mariel immediately knew who that person as she was as the image of a beautiful horned figure hugging the out of control Absalom came into her mind.
"Sure I'll be waiting at the school outskirts on the third gate of the cleaners" She said as she left Absalom to himself.
Walking towards Ariel's dorm, Absalom forgot about how this was a new place and didn't even bother to announce his presence as he entered the dorm without a care in the world.
He met two young guys sitting on the couch as they seemed to be discussing something and didn't notice his presence.
" I can't believe we have Ariel the dragon princess in the same dorm as us" one of them said as Absalom realized they were twins.
"We can go take a peek at her tomorrow when she's bathing" the other said causing Absalom to unleash his aura on them completely destroying the couch they were on.
Realizing the killing intent, they both got to their feet.
[Water ball]
[Ice spike]
They both unleashed their skills at their attacker who simply manifested a thin red barrier around himself.
"Absalom" they all turned as they saw Ariel descending like a goddess as she unfolded her wings and landed running straight to Absalom like a princess in love causing the twins to have a heart attack.
Getting over his anger, Absalom walked away with Ariel behind him as he told herbof the plans he had made with Mariel.
"Isn't that a bit dangerous" Ariel said.
"Well it is but it is also profitable as with my strength perhaps I could get you to level three as well." Absalom said.
Level three was something Ariel had only dreamt of reaching in about a year's time as while she was confident in her potential she knew she didn't have the strength to take om a beast of that caliber however with Absalom here she felt like she could do it.
"Well fine I'll be in your care then she said as she walked closer to Absalom taking his hand into hers.
There was no doubt that she loved Absalom as even at their young age she couldn't imagine herself liking someone else even a quarterly as much asbshe loved Absalom.
"Wait did you say you'll make me level three as well?" Ariel remembered his speech earlier.
"Does that mean you are level 3 already"
Well yh I am "
Absalom replied as he remembered what he has gained from his killing spree
'Wait come to think of it I haven't checked my stats '
[Status open]
... What how the hell did I get this strong " Absalom thought excitedly looking at his stats
