Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 164: A Training City
As they headed in this direction, Matt pulled out the letter Alice had left for him to read and frowned.
'This girl is getting stronger at quite a rate. When I first met her, she had 5,050 power, but she's already so close to 10,000 power. That's pretty impressive growth.'
The letter told him that she would temporarily return to the family mansion to get as close to 10,000 power as possible, as she was already close. She wanted to achieve this before the year-end holidays, so she needed to exert herself behind closed doors at the Clan Allen training grounds.
She would also tell him that she would call him as soon as she was close to reaching it.
'Good growth. I wonder what would happen if she and I were a bloody couple...' He thought, looking out the window.
He had seen the explosive increase in Isla's power since they became a bloody couple, so he wondered what effect it might have on Alice, an Heiress.
Between thoughts, Matt and Isla arrived at the academy's Sacred Grounds.
When they got off, they were stunned by what they saw.
This place was a beautiful city that lay between the First Academy and the Second Academy.
It was not very big like the big capitals of the world, but still a big city where many people seemed to live.
But the reality is different here.
The only people who live here are the teachers and staff in charge of maintenance and running the city. The rest of the 'population' are the students, who are only here for training.
The city has numerous diverse training centers, with very high costs for their use.
As both walked through the lonely and dark streets, they saw a few students walking fast toward different parts of the city.
Thanks to a map they had been given at the city's entrance, they knew where to go.
They were heading towards the Central Tower of the city.
Which has very high-level training that requires the use of large amounts of authentic blood.
Everything in this city was for training. The houses were for training, the buildings, etc.
The only habitable thing here was a vast apartment-style building, which spanned much of the city, where the teachers and authorized personnel lived.
The rest of the buildings, whether large or small, were all for training.
Soon, Matt and Isla arrived at the Central Tower.
There was a long line to request a room, but they were at a standstill. They were not being served at the moment.
'What's going on?' thought Matt. He didn't stop behind the line of people but walked past Isla to the front.
Many gave him strange looks, and some even yelled at him to get in line.
"What are students from the second academy doing here? Do they even have enough money to pay for a room here?"
"Hey, why doesn't that guy get in line? Back up!"
Various shouts began to echo around the place as they pointed at Matt and Isla.
This caught the teachers' attention, but then they smiled after seeing Matt and ran towards him.
"Young General, Miss!" Said one of them, and another quickly grabbed them.
"We were informed beforehand that you were coming, and from the entrance, we were informed that you were already here, so we were waiting for you. This way, Young General, we have prepared a nice room for you," Said another professor, alarming the students.
"Professor, what's wrong!? That guy hasn't queued up; why do you say that you already have a room for him? Even that woman is there as luggage!"
"That's not fair, professors. We've been here all day and all of a sudden you stop us and stop us from renting one when there clearly is, isn't that disrespectful to us?"
"Right, right!"
The teachers looked at them with disdain.
"Hmph, we work with fullness and sincerity; everyone knows that. But there are key moments when we don't care about those things, don't you know? When someone distinguished comes to visit us, we have, as a rule, to attend to them first. If you guys have such a high status as the Young General, why don't you show it to me? Shit, stop complaining when you're all idiots!" Replied a teacher.
"What exalted status could a student of the second academy have? Is he the rich kid of a duke or what? If so, I'm the Son of the Southern Marquis; why don't you cater to me the same!?"
The professor glared at him and sneered again.
"Rich kid? If you're a rich kid, it just means you can afford what's here. But if you have the status of the Young General, earned by your effort, you can enter here at your leisure and have a personal room. Don't you know who he is? Matthew Dietrich, the new Bloody Vampire General of our Kingdom! Even your father must pay homage to him.
Who the hell are you!?"
This professor became temperamental at the drop of a hat because it was about something important this time.
As a professor who had once been a student, he had respected and admired all the Bloody Vampire Generals since childhood.
Because his parents and he had been saved by one of them. So, to him, a Bloody Vampire General was as exalted as an Heir.
That was why he did not hesitate to insult that stupid student.
He was frightened as soon as he heard Matt's identity.
Not just him; they all did and hid behind the one in front.
Among those who hadn't made a fuss were looking at Matt with admiration but also at Isla. She was not only beautiful.
She should be that new Young Brigadier General who appeared at the Second Academy.
They were popular these days, and they didn't even know it. They initially thought it was only at the Second Academy. Still, seeing the expressions on these guys' faces, especially the teachers, they realized that both had greatly underestimated the statuses they had just achieved.
Still, thanks to this, they could enter the Central Tower without any problems.
"Young General, since we were told you would be here, we prepared one of the three best rooms for your use." Said the man, guiding them with happiness and a smile.
He guided them to the top floor, where three lush rooms were located.
One was larger than the other two, which would allow for better training performance.
But Matthew was awarded the Second Largest.
"Actually, I wanted to give him the best room, but I can't get past that woman in there," the professor said after giving him the keys.
What he said got Matt's attention.
"Oh? Who's in the first room?" he asked.
The man smiled sheepishly, "Sophia Murphy." He replied.
