The pressure they felt on their souls was abruptly lifted, and then a cheery voice was heard. "I hope that was good enough for you?".-- Drop--The two brothers dropped to the ground on their knees. The after-effect of the pressure was heavy on them.****It had been a few days since Samantha had that encounter with Vladimir. After that night of the incident, when she woke up, she felt numb as though her body did not belong to her. Samantha had lost feeling in her body, it was as if she was looking at her body from a spectator standpoint.She could not get out of bed that morning, so her post was left unattended. Later that evening after laying in bed for a day, the numbness disappeared, and she felt lighter and more energetic. [ what did he do to me?]. Samantha asked herself.Little did she know that the blood that Vladimir had given her changed something within her; she had been given the ability to absorb an affinity element. It all felt weird to her; the feeling, the sensation
The blue speck of light came to a stop at Vladimir's abrupt movements. It waited for Vladimir to stop moving before it continued its advancement.A few moments later, it came in contact with Vladimir and disappeared into his head.{ host fission initiated }Vladimir's eyes shot open. "what said that?!"."....."The was no response, but it felt weird. [Someone said something, right? it can't be that I am losing my mind, right?].Vladimir felt unsure what to feel but still shoved the thoughts away.Vladimir lay back down and was so close to the other side... The first foot was already on the other side, it was about to get good.--knock. Knock--But we all know that all good things must come to an end, the person who rapped on his door didn't even let the good thing occur." I swear if this is not important, I will kill whoever is at that door. Who is that?". Vladimir was visibly pissed, this was the middle of the night and he hadn't even closed his eyes for an hour.It was not as thoug
Only his white eyes could be seen, even his pupils were white, he had long black hair, and he was old but the aura he gave off was that of a young man. " is he really the one? If he is, a great change is coming". The man had a profound expression as he looked into the night sky from his window. **** A few days ago at the Marshall Manor... In the garden, the question that lord marshall had asked Chelsea kept her silent.Chelsea thought she was in deep thought. It took some time to think before Chelsea could come up with a satisfactory answer. "Father actually...". Chelsea paused to get her thoughts in the right place. "... I am not sure". Truthfully she wasn't sure what she felt for Vladimir. But this was not an answer lord marshall was looking for. " Alright my dear, it seems I did to ask my question clearly... Ahem...". Lord Marshall cleared his throat before continuing. The words that came out of the mouth of lord marshall were slow and straight to the point. "... My daughter,
"Today we are going to have combat lessons, I would not be teaching you, Lord Banter will...". Lester announced to his class before continuing. "... You would be shared in groups of two's pick your partner...". Normally, the twins in the class chose each other as partners. When they were done choosing partners, they headed towards the training grounds to meet with lord Banter. Throughout the training session, the Night brothers had one thing on their minds. [ where the fuck was Vladimir?].****Vladimir was in the healer's office and noticed that something was wrong with him, fatally wrong with him. He felt weaker, not like a level or two weaker, he felt weak, as weak as he was growing up. Cipher had sucked up almost all the blood essence in Vladimir during the fission process. Originally Vladimir had a 78 per cent pure blood essence coursing through his meridians, but presently all he had left was a puny 4 per cent purity of blood essence within his meridians, and this could merel
Vladimir was in that position, for some time, thinking and asking himself what was the reason he was about to embark on this journey. After some time of thinking Vladimir seemed to gain understanding and enlightenment. Through the knowledge that was forced into his head, Vladimir came to analyze the lives of great mages in history, they all had something in common. They became strong because of something they loved, something they lost, or something they never had but always dreamed of. "what is it that I love?... Hmm". Vladimir asked himself out loud, in an attempt to gain answers faster. Vladimir looked through his life and found out that he had not found anything worthwhile, nothing had caught his fancy, because he lacked some things while growing up didn't mean he would not get it eventually. That was not enough reason for him to want to grow strong. He had never been attached to anybody, not the old woman, his 'granny' that took care of him, or her husband. Not to talk of his
Samantha could not risk losing what she had just gained. " in that case I would be greedy". She readily accepted the manual."Hahaha, as expected of someone from the Astaroth family. Be good and study it well" Vladimir said with a smile, a warm smile."thank you". Samantha said with tears of gratitude welling up in her eyes. [ what's wrong with me?]Samantha didn't know what was wrong with her, she was just getting emotional... So unlike her." If you encounter any difficulties come to me and I will clear them for you... Now off you go". Vladimir shouted her away.Samantha skipped out of the room after giving Vladimir a deep bow of gratitude. Vladimir was simply happy to see Samantha happy, he didn't know why but it felt good. "now to work on myself".Vladimir lay on his bed looking up at the ceiling...****Meanwhile...Darcie had just gotten to her chamber, she took off her excess clothing and sat down in her training room.Darcie had her training room for herself, installed in her
"gasp...". Someone somewhere in the class gasped on behalf of the first year's in the class.The system in the Central Magic Academy allowed students of different years to attend the same classes under the same masters, to avoid cases of bullying and boost competition between classmates.But there were some activities that not all students could attend, normally the third year we were stronger than all the other students, collectively.The Night brothers as well as Astra were second year's, so they had attended the mid-yearly assessment once, The Wykes brothers were the only third year's in the class.Vladimir and Harley were the first years in class, Harley was different, she had Astra as her only friend, but Vladimir had none.The mid-yearly assessment was a brutal and gruesome activity, there were no rules, and the main objective was to kill demon beasts.But the students could take the merit points of other students by killing them. This entire activity was wrong, but this was the
Vladimir seemed to ponder. " well yes, I did say that... Have you encountered any difficulties? ". Vladimir asked and he picked a seat and sat close to her.The room became hot... [ is it just me?]. Samantha asked herself, she had never felt this feeling as strong as she felt now for him.Vladimir seemed to ponder. " well yes, I did say that... Have you encountered any difficulties? ". Vladimir asked and he picked a seat and sat close to her.The room became hot... [ is it just me?]. Samantha asked herself, she had never felt this feeling as strong as she felt now for him.Vladimir seemed to notice the way Samantha looked at him, but said nothing. "what's the problem?".Samantha was calm. "uhh... Vladimir the problem is...". Samantha explained the problem to Vladimir, she was experiencing a bottleneck in her assimilation.Vladimir thought for some time. "it seems you have a problem with the concept of time... Let me explain, time is...".Vladimir spent time explaining the concept of t
