My System & My Academy of Superpowers

In a small room, but enough space to fit in two people comfortably, Devon and Ryan were sitting on chairs facing each other.

Other students were dying to get a peaceful sleep, their eyes had turned sore, some had headaches, they were drained mentally. 

Devon and Ryan were drained both mentally and physically. They were about to have an important conversation which literally pushed away all of their discomforts in a corner. 

"So…." Ryan started, "You are a vampire," Devon looked at him then nodded, "God, I never thought folklores will become reality too,"

"We never were folklores. We were real, people made folklores of us. No one had seen a real vampire, those who have, had faced the door of death already.

"Only rumors got to make their way through the centuries. We were always real,"

"Good. that ends this conversation here. Now that I know about your secret, you will kill me," Ryan got up from his chair. 

"You… are not a vampire, are you?" 

"Huh?" Ryan found it strange, "Of course I am not a vampire, what made you even think that?" 

"No. I knew it from the start. It's just that Brandon thinks you are a Human Vampire,"

"And what's that? God really? First that werewolf and now this," 

'Werewolf? Oh, the one Brandon was talking about,' Devon thought. 

"Human Vampire is a race in the Vampire hierarchy."

'Races between a race? That's racism,' He mockingly thought.

"They are born from two humans, offspring of two humans only. Never mixed." 

"How come-"

"They are born with vampire genes but the genes never surface. They live their normal lives as a human without even knowing they are vampires or have vampire genes inside them as they don't feed on blood and don't have even a single vampire ability,"

"Huu… what are you then? What is your race?" Ryan asked.

"I…. am an ordinary vampire,"

"Is that a race?"

"Hm. Born from a human and a vampire. They are the most common vampires you will ever find on Earth. Children born with the Active Vampire Gene. They feed on blood. They grow at the normal human speed until age 21 when their shapeshifting abilities awaken and they can change their physical age to whatever age they please and as often as they want." 

"Do you mean Vampires don't live on Earth?"

"They did. Once, they did. Till we, vampires, ourselves discovered the Portal Trait. Which made it possible for us to travel to far distant planets.

"The council…. Typical council of Vampires decided to shift their base to a dark planet and live there freely without the fear of our identity being busted by a human."

"What if humans-"

"We didn't just use the Trait as a Trait. We used the Trait to create a technology that could open a portal without the Trait being used.

"You are not following, right? Lemme explain. We ourselves live in our own world. We too have scientists, explorers, inventors. They all grouped together and invented a technology which led us to a deceive which opens a portal for us.

"Through that device, unless a drop of blood from a vampire is not dropped, the portal will never open. As far as it's about humans, they still haven't discovered about the portal device.

"With the use of the Trait, we can only open a portal to a place we or our mate has visited before. The planet we are living on is a few galaxies away."

"Then how did you find the planet without ever visiting it before?"

Devon raised his head. He slowly leaned closer to Ryan who was sitting on his chair again. Ryan lends him his ear.

"The eight-tier portal..." Ryan's nodded, "Does exist!"

"What?!" Ryan was surprised. Devon gave him a nod pulling his head away from Ryan.

"With the help of the eight-tier portal, you can open up a portal to a place you have never visited before. It was one in a million cases we were able to open a portal to a dark planet. A planet where the sun never rises."

"Right… humans still don't have an eight-tier portal user which makes it harder for them to find your planet…"

"And even if the humans managed to find a purple portal user, remember, it's one in a million chance they will find our planet. But we prepared for it too. For that one in a million chance, we are prepared.

"As for the portal device we made, you will not find it on Earth, and even if someone did find it, they won't be able to open it unless they are a vampire," 

"Full proof huh…." Ryan thought about how amazing the vampires are.

"Leave that aside." Devon spoke, "and tell me, have you stolen Brandon's items?"

Ryan's heart skipped a beat, "No. I haven't. I believe you guys went through my bags and stuff after knocking me out,"

"Hm. Brandon did and he didn't find out his items," Devon looked convinced. 

"But wait, you said you are an ordinary vampire then… is your mother a vampire or-"

"My father. He is a vampire. Because of him," Devon clenched his fists and grit his teeth, "Just because of him I am born like this,"

"Huh?"

"Nothing,"

"O- what do you mean by"

"Forget it. About the council, they won't come for you or kill you unless Brandon thinks you are a Human Vampire."

"Yeh? Thank god."

"You remember the time when Brandon bite you?" Ryan saw a few quick flashes of Brandon opening his fangs and biting Ryan on his shoulder.

His eyes fell on his shoulder, he brushed his hand over his shoulder, "I do."

"I don't know, how did you manage to heal that bite yourself and be able to throw Brandon's venom out by yourself..."

"Huh?"

"When he bite you, he didn't do it for sucking your blood, he did it for infecting you. He wanted to turn you into a failed one or into a halfling so that the council could come and kill you ruthlessly.. No one can stand against the council."
