Having the classes done for the day, Roseline went back to her dorm to sleep for some time.
But once she had gotten there, someone was waiting for her.
Lelia.
Seeing Lelia standing there, Roseline had a lot of questions past through her mind before she quickly dodged the hand that was trying to grab her.
Looking closer at Lelia, she seemed furious.
Roseline continued to dodge Lelia's attempts to grab her before she soon got caught and slammed into the wall.
Holding onto Roseline's shirt collar, Lelia looked at her with blades in her eyes as she asked a question.
"What the hell are you? Sucking my blood and thinking you could get away with it was just plain stupid Roseline."
"Listen listen! I have a reason for that!"
"Then tell me."
"Yeah yeah, I will ok!? I will!"
Hearing that, Lelia let go of Roseline but didn't back down.
"Ok so I HAD to drink your blood because if I didn't I was going to die from hunger."
Lelia looked at her with confusion. "What are you? A vampire?" She said sarcastically.
"Uh yes…"
"Huh? For real?"
Roseline nodded her head while Lelia stood there in shock.
Lelia still had some doubts in her mind that she wanted answered.
"Just how can I believe you?"
"Ah well.."
Roseline hadn't really expected such a question.
"Well.. other then drinking your blood again, I'm not sure…."
Lelia thought for a moment before sighing.
"Well I'm not letting you do that."
Roseline understood that from her tone.
"Ah but.. I kind of have too drink blood, and I'm not going to go around drinking blood from beaten up people in alleyways."
"…That's understandable. But still I'm not letting you."
"Oh then uh- how about coming to an agreement?"
When Lelia heard Roseline respond though, she just frowned more.
'Did I say something wrong?' Roseline didn't know what she said wrong because of her very much dead social skills.
"Really?"
"Huh?"
"Do you know how I feel about this? You didn't even tell me and just sucked my blood without me knowing that you were going to?"
"Are you joking?"
Hearing that, Roseline thought for a moment before feeling a little bad.
"Oh um… sorry."
"Damn right sorry."
Truth be told though, Roseline slightly felt that she had done nothing wrong. She just followed her instincts.
She was no longer human after all.
But the issue still existed with her needing blood, so she decided to try and get to an agreement with Lelia.
"Hey Lelia, I can't just not drink blood you know."
"Why not blood from like a pig."
Roseline thought for a moment but came to the conclusion that it would taste horrible and wouldn't work.
"No, that would probably not work."
"How do you know? Have you tried it?"
"No… it's my instincts speaking. Plus, where in this base can you find pig's blood?"
"…ah whatever"
"So I'm going to need your help Lelia."
'Ugh asking help to a human..'
Roseline realized her thoughts and became surprised by it, but not showing on her face.
'I would have never thought that if I were still human.'
Lelia thought for a moment after hearing that before saying. "Fine. But only once a week."
"Once a week? I will die if it's like that!"
"Then three times a week and that's all."
"Can you at least put your blood in some kind of little container for the people there days?"
"Hm.. sure."
Roseline sighed a breath of relief hearing Lelia's response.
After the conversation had ended and they came to an agreement, what soon followed was an awkward silence.
Feeling this awkwardness, Lelia decided to go to her bed to think about what they had just talked about while Roseline just stood there.
'Well I guess that problem is now solved, I think…"

A month later…
In Magic Theory class, Atlas was teaching when the bell rang.
The students were about to leave when Atlas said.
"Wait, I have an announcement to make for the class."
Groans and pouts could be heard from across the class.
"In a week, for your normal classes there will be preliminary tests so get prepared now."
The class went silent.
"Oh gods..."
"Ah why didn't you tell us before!?"
"I'm so not ready."
Roseline also started to worry a little bit on the matter. She would be fine for any other subject except math.
After all, she had been sleeping through math class.
The class left quickly left to their next class, worried to lose precious study time.
At Core Weapons class, when one entered the classroom, they would see Seth who came back three and a half weeks ago with Tyr at his side.
The class started and first did practice before they moved on to teaching more about martial arts together with Core weapons.
While practicing Steady Mountain, Roseline had gotten a notification from the System
——— SYSTEM ———
Martial Arts: Steady Mountain Form
Martial art progress: 50%
——————————
'Half way there.'
Thinking so, Roseline pulled up her profile in the System
——— SYSTEM ———
Name: Roseline Hart
Species: Blooded Human
Level: 1 Star ( 5/10 )
XP: 95/350
Affinity: None
Health: 350/350
Mana: 100/100
STATS—
Strength: 29
Agility: 27
Dexterity: 22
Defense: 22
Stamina: 25
Charm: 20
Free Stats: 100
———————————-
Rosline was finally half way through 1 Star and had gotten significantly stronger.
After she had reached level 5 of 1 Star she had gotten an increase in mana by 50. Making it 100 mana that she has stored in her body.
The System explained to her that every 5
Levels, mana increases by 50.
But even if that much mana, without an affinity she had no way of using it.
Roseline has also started to save her Stats.
Such a huge increase in strength wouldn't go unnoticed after all.
She had been having Lucas as a sparing partner for a while and Lucas had noticed it, even asking for her workout routine.
But Roseline shot him down, using the excuse that a spear user shouldn't focus on strength.
Tyr, who was working with a student, moved his hand and patted his ear before continuing with help them.
The movement didn't escape Roseline senses.
All of the movements in the classroom where catched by her.
She was far stronger then the average human now. But as she was a Blooded Human, which would change to Vampling in
The future, she wasn't sure how strong she would be in terms of vampires.
For all she knew she could be the weakest of the weak.
