Chapter 59 Another Perk of the Blood Core
Chapter 59 Another Perk of the Blood Core
"You're going to be a little surprised," Seraphine said.
"Hmm..." Arin muttered, "show me, then."
With that, Arin waited for whatever Seraphine had in store. Since she said he would be surprised, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
Seconds passed, yet nothing happened, and Seraphine still hadn't said anything.
Arin furrowed his brows in confusion. "What is goi—"
Before he could finish, a bright flash of red light suddenly shot out from his chest, illuminating the room.
The red light formed into a small orb, levitating in front of him.
Arin stood still, eyes fixed on the orb, waiting for what would happen next. He wasn't sensing any danger, so he remained calm.
Suddenly...
*WHOOSH!*
The red light brightened, further filling the room with its glow. This time, it was too intense, and Arin squinted his eyes against the brilliance.
'Maybe it's a weapon...' Arin thought, his eyes still closed. 'I mean, what else could it be?'
Moments later, the light finally dimmed, and he slowly opened his eyes. But then...
"Huh?!" Arin exclaimed as he stared at the figure in front of him.
"How did you do it?" he asked, still gazing at Seraphine, who now stood before him.
She looked just as she had when they first met in the forest—perfectly fine, without a single scar. Her long black hair was neatly in place, her red eyes glowing. Her fangs and claws were visible, and her pale skin contrasted with the black cloak and boots she wore.
A smile formed on her face as she stared at Arin. Then, without warning, she knelt down, lowering her head. "I greet the Master."
Her voice was unchanged, and she addressed him as "Master," meaning it was still the same Seraphine who had pledged herself to him.
Arin closed his eyes for a moment before letting out a sigh. "Stand up."
"Is something wrong, Master?" Seraphine suddenly asked, interrupting his thoughts.
She noticed Arin staring blankly at the wall and thought something might be bothering him.
Arin sighed softly as he glanced at her. "You know, you don't have to stand there like a statue. Be comfortable."
Seraphine nodded eagerly and walked over to the bed, sitting beside him.
Arin glanced out the window and noticed that morning was approaching. In just a few hours, the sun would rise.
He didn't feel tired, and he never would again. In fact, this was an advantage—he could work on creating new spells and strengthening his mental fortitude throughout the night without needing rest.
Many mages would envy this kind of ability... though not many would want to become vampires for it.
"It's gonna be a long day..." Arin muttered.
With the teachers and principal returning to the Academy this morning, there was sure to be some sort of meeting with all the students. In short, a lot was about to happen.
Suddenly, the system screen appeared in front of him, displaying some new information.
[Your Blood Energy has been measured.]
[Your Vampire Rank will now be displayed.]
"Huh?"
[Your Rank is...]
