Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Among those topics were the reasons why they had come to this place, to the Spiritual Academy.

They were not topics that could be overlooked, for they represented what they would be doing from now on.

The first of those reasons was to hide very well and find information regarding the empire's grounds to somehow reach the Dark Kingdom and escape the pursuit of the Divine Knights. This is an official Academy of the Empire and one that seems to have a high status but also seems to go unnoticed because of the kind of system they use, which is ideal for that kind of thing.

The second reason is to understand Spirit Summoning and, as a whole, to research hex items and see if they can be created. Matt feels that he still has a lot of research to do on those items, so he will use all this time to do so.

The third reason, and a very important one, is to study the Expansive Domains he has seen before. So far, he has only managed to see Caroline Felliam's Domain, which was already powerful enough to give him trouble.

So far, he still doesn't understand exactly what those domains are. What he knows of them is so basic that it would bother him if he came face to face with someone with a similar domain. And since this Academy seeks to become an Empire Alignment, they should have information on all that sort of thing.

Those are the three main reasons that encompass what they want to do, but there are still three more reasons. Two of them were created when they entered the Academy. The first one is to try to get the help of the Spirit of Destiny somehow.

That is to find out if another similar Spirit is helping the Vampire Prosperity Organization, which is quite likely.

Then there is trying to get into the Alignment that exists internally at the Academy. It is said that the top students go there, and they are the best in the entire academy. Entering those ranks would give them enormous benefits in every way.

The third motive is personal to Matt: to find out about this 'Charlotte' who has been mentioned to him on a few occasions.

Although he does not believe she is his wife, he has been told that she is a woman with an absurd talent, so perhaps they will have to confront each other in the future.

With all those reasons said, they both understood what they had to do for now.

So Matt began to investigate the hexagonal items with the machines in this room to make the most of the time.

He needed to learn or research how they could use magic through these items without the need to engrave them on him. So Matt took out some books containing teachings about different elemental magics, which were in a small library in this room.

And then, a few minutes were enough for him to concentrate 100 percent on researching these items.

Since they were Magic Artifacts, by default, they brought the ability to contain and cast magics, and by having two types of artifacts mixed, it was easier for them to do so.

So Matt started on that side and spent the rest of the day and night researching. With the increased power they have achieved and being vampires, they no longer need to sleep, making them more effective in everything they do.

And after many hours, Matt was surprised by what he discovered.

'I just need to study the basis of magic so I can create it?' He thought to himself in surprise and grabbed one of the books in his hand while holding an item in the other.

During the night, he learned a bit about the basis of the magics explained in these books. Although they didn't have too much explanation, he was human in the past and could perfectly understand the movement of mana, which tended to be the most complicated thing when it came to creating magics. As a result, he managed to understand them quite well.

'If what I got is correct...' Matt thought and closed his eyes. His mind focused on the magic item again, but he didn't want to investigate it this time. He wanted to test it.

Then, a small magical chant filled his mind as his imagination thought of a small lightning bolt shooting upwards from the magic item.

Suddenly, the magic item glowed slightly, and the mana in it created a powerful but small lightning bolt that shot upwards.

Matt opened his eyes sharply and watched the beam hit the protective inscriptions above the ceiling; his excitement suddenly increased.

"I get it; I just need to learn how to wield the magic to make it work. Which is the same as memorizing the essence of the magic and devising it in my mind when I've cast it." He said, standing up suddenly.

His sudden movement and the sound of the explosion caused Alice to jump quickly from the room where she was. She looked in shock at Matt.

"Matt, what was that explosion?" she asked.

"Hahaha, Alice, I already understand the right way to use these magic items. It's easier than you might think; it's the first time I can use magic in such an easy and versatile way through an item."

Alice was surprised by a lot of what he had said. "Is this the First time you can use magic so easily? Have you ever used magic before, Matt?" she asked in shock, and Matt pulled her to sit down.

"Forget about that; I'll explain so you can try it too."

Matt then explained in detail what to do.

Although Alice was surprised that it was so easy, she did as she was told quickly.

After two hours, she felt ready and tried it.

Still, it didn't come out the same as Matt, perhaps because of a lack of experience.

So she tried one more time. And so she tried four times.

"It's normal for you to fail; you've never used mana before. But that last time, the lightning came on. Try doing it a couple more times; you should get it. Keep in mind that mana movement is not the same as vampiric power. Mana is an external power, while vampiric power is internal; try to move it accordingly, as if you were trying to breathe with your mouth."

Alice closed her eyes and listened patiently to Matt's explanations, then took a deep breath and tried again.

Suddenly, the item experienced a magical fluctuation, and a partially large lightning bolt formed. This shape was a little different from the one Matt created; it looked like a sharp blade ready to cut.

The strange beam did not shoot upward but sideways, suddenly splitting in two and hitting the walls hard. The power was much less than Matt's, but somehow, this beam didn't seem to be made to carry power.

'This girl... That's a very lethal attack, though it wasn't that powerful. Besides, I once saw her wield two swords; could it be that she's trying to create her own style?' Matt thought after seeing this.
