Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

"You should also keep in mind that spirit summoning does not take away the potential of casting magic; it is just an extra help; this is the reason why it is so important, and maybe in the future, everyone will want to become a spirit summoner.

By this, I mean you'll be able to cast normal magics and summon a spirit, you'll be able to fight in front while a spirit supports you, or you could even have several spirits fighting at the same time as you."

The teacher discussed many additional topics and gave different demonstrations of spirit summoning through Magical Artifacts until, finally, it was time for the class to end.

"With that said, if any of you have more interest in summoning or learning some magics, the Academic Library is open to you. You will not be able to check out books from there unless you have permission or are a student with a blue aptitude, but you will still be able to read anything you want there. I encourage you to go there, you will learn a lot.

I hope that in the future, you will all be able to summon your respective spirits; I bid you farewell." After this, he left.

Murmurs began to sound back and forth in the room. Some were exchanging information they had understood in class, others were making other plans, and others were simply showing off somehow.

Matt and Alice got up after sorting out their thoughts and left the room.

Although some people wanted to talk to them, especially a couple of elves who were in the classroom, they didn't in the end because they were embarrassed, as they had orange on their uniforms.

"Shall we go to the library, Matt?" Alice asked, and he nodded.

"Since we have some status in this Academy, we should request some important books to take back to the room. The next class is supposed to happen in a few days, and next week will be the summoning class. We should prepare in advance and get to know the artifact in hand better." He replied.

They both walked through the Academy until they reached the vast library. Because they had little time, Matt looked up several books and asked for instructions. They both returned to the room a while later and locked themselves in.

They would now learn new magics to become more versatile with this artifact, while Matt would do more research on the magic in front of him and the magical artifacts.

He wanted to find out many things, so he did some deep research soon after.

Among all the things he wanted to find out, he managed the first one in over 12 hours after research and trial and error with the magic and magical artifacts he had.

'These items can be put together into one. Four hexagonal items arranged somehow around the ball I took from Gabriel Becker would form a more perfect item. Still, four is too many. That's basically all the items we currently have...' Matt thought.

He then did some research on how these artifacts were built. With the blueprints he had in this room and the books in the library, he managed to make a breakthrough, but it was still too complicated to understand them in depth.

So, after doing some research about it, Matt investigated some more things.

Now, he wanted to understand why humans could use magic and vampires couldn't when that shouldn't be the case.

He didn't know if anyone else had researched it, but he was sure he could do it better because he was human. He understood the movement of mana perfectly.

And so the hours passed quickly. Alice had been trying to study magics without Matt's help, while Matt was trying to figure out how to do magic while being a vampire.

They had different purposes, but the mana's constant movement back and forth in the room was of great indirect help to Matt.

And so, two days later, a day before the next class, Matt made an extraordinary discovery.

'There is no doubt it is possible for the vampire to exercise magic; magic is compatible with us, vampires.'

He realized that vampiric power is more unique than it appears but also highly versatile.

Vampiric power does not reject mana, as many vampires believe. The two can coexist.

'But Control is required. The Path of Control is the key to everything. That's why that strange man I saw in that lonely room said it. He mentioned that the Four Paths are also called The Universal Laws. If he uses the word universal, it means it's for all races, regardless of whether he uses mana or vampiric power, then I shouldn't be wrong in what I found out.'

'Vampires can also be compatible with magic; the issue is that they need to walk the Path of Control. From the beginning, the problem was not understanding the Universal Laws, and that is where I think all vampires went astray.

By not knowing them and being less compatible, they ended up walking a simple path with no mysteries; then they forgot that there are paths established by the Universal Laws where everything would go better for them.'

Matt thought about different things until he hit the nail on the head of what he needed. He closed his eyes soon after and tried again to understand the Path of Control.

His mind traveled briefly to the past more than a year ago. He had just arrived at this world at that time, when he was going to fight a person who drastically surpassed him in power in that battle of classrooms.

The day when his training became more serious when he tried to understand what Control was. Then, all the memories of that moment came to him.

'The path I was discovering at that moment was the right one. According to that man, the Path of Control consists of Three Phases. Among those three, the first one was 'Early Understanding', and that is just what I was practicing, so I must follow that path.

I feel that if I achieve 'Early Understanding', I will be able to do magic using my body, without the need for the Magic Artifact.' Matt thought and dove into his mind, bringing out his vampiric power once more, though he quickly ran into a problem, a rather serious one...
