Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 36: A good improvement

After the break, Matt and Alice returned to training for a while longer until Matt fell, exhausted from all the training, and Alice smiled.

"Matt, you have become very powerful lately. It's true that you are exceptional. I don't understand how you manage to get so strong so fast, but I think you'll catch up with me soon." Alice said with a happy smile as she looked at him.

Matt smiled at her, 'It's a good thing no one can see the quirk in my abilities now that I'm weak. Otherwise, it could be dangerous.' He thought to himself, though he didn't know how to respond to her words.

"Still, you must not be confident this time, Matt. Devourers are sneaky, as you've seen before. There are some devourers that mutate differently than others, so you need to watch out for them. But something else you need to watch out for is the sophomores or juniors that are here." She said and then sighed slightly after thinking about this.

"You should know you are first-year students. Although you have great power and are considered geniuses in your classrooms, thanks to your high powers, the truth is that you are not the only one with that amount of power in the second academy. There are still other students who are considered normal, but they have been here for 2 or 3 years and have power similar to yours or even higher. They will also be sent there, and I heard once that they hate genius students like you, so you should watch out for them."

From how she said it, she seemed to have known a person who suffered a bad fate, and possibly, it was at the hands of those people. For this, he nodded.

'I had seen them before and wondered why on earth they look at me as if they hate me, so that's why.' He thought with a frown.

After those words, Alice commented several more things to him until she decided to return to the First Academy. She shouldn't be here, as she was supposed to be preparing for her battle in the tournament tomorrow.

But when she heard that Matt would be going to such a dangerous place, she couldn't help but run here. She wanted to see that he was capable enough to go to and come back from such a place.

And once she checked, a great weight was lifted from her heart so she could walk away calm and happy.

Still, during all this time, Matt couldn't stop smiling.

During their first fight, he had not expected her to use all her power and focus it on him, so at that moment, he was caught completely by surprise. Despite that, even though he felt intense power pressure, he could resist it strongly and defend himself well.

Previously, she had not directed the power to him, and despite that, the suppression of power was so terrifying that it made it difficult for him to breathe. But now, she had directed it entirely at him and was able to prevent further damage.

Although it was difficult, he was finally able to lift that weight from his heart. He can finally say that he is getting stronger, and the results are noticeable in combat, which is the best thing.

With that in mind, he could sleep peacefully.

The following day, Matt and Isla left the academy with a large group toward the mountains near the academy.

Because students need various training, the academy grounds have many ways to train them. Among them, the mountains near the academy belong to the academy, although the beasts hold complete control of these mountains, and in this case, the devourers have infiltrated these mountain ranges.

That is dangerous for the students, which is why the kingdom where the academy is built sent enough soldiers to fight in this section together with the students. That, even though it is dangerous, it does not detract from the fact that it is essential for the training of the students and their respective tests.

The trip was long, and when they finally arrived, each student was accommodated in different tents with their respective equipment.

Matt was given ten students from the Third Academy. They were trying their hardest to get into the Second Academy, so they stood before him with respect as soon as they saw him arrive.

"Boss." Greeted them respectfully.

This surprised Matt, 'Oh, I had heard that Third Academy students were sometimes a bit of a jerk, but these look good.' He thought and smiled.

"Tell me how much power you all have." He asked, and they began to pass in front of him one by one to announce their power.

"Between 1,500 and 1,800 power then... Not bad. Looks like you may soon be members of the Second Academy." Matt said as he took note of each of the powers and the explanations they were giving about their fighting styles.

He shushed them into silence with a motion.

"According to the rules, for you guys to pass this exam successfully, you must take the head of a devourer for every 2 of you. In other words, we need to kill five devourers for you to pass the tests, but why don't we make the exam easier?" he asked, surprising them.

They didn't understand what he was referring to, so Matt smiled.

"Each team has 11 members, but there's no rule that says we can't ally with another team to make things easier when it comes to hunting, is there?" he asked, and they nodded.

"That's true... But I think the teams right now are looking more for profit and not focusing so much on passing the test, right? Where will we get a team that agrees to join us?" one of them, the strongest one, asked.

Matt smiled, "If that's why it's no problem. It's up to the leader to decide that, and while most leaders are idiots and don't look out for the welfare of their members, one of the group leaders is my teammate. I've already talked to her, and she'll be here soon." He replied.

Finishing his words, Matt heard Isla's voice outside, calling him.

"Matt, I'm coming in." She said, walking in as her whole group followed closely behind her.

Matt nodded towards her, "Good. That's better." He said and stood before these two groups to talk to them.
