Vampire's Slice of Life

A few weeks passed.

As Lith rested in the cemetery of the castle, nothing of essence happened in the outside world.

People were immortals and having a long lifespan, they generally tended to take things slow.

The world moved so slowly that the most important news in the past thousand years was the birth of the new Supreme Rank, it being none other than the Death Dragon from the Dragon race.

Other than that, there were a few other minors shockers and three of them were the birth of royals.

The first being the birth of the Elven Princess, second being the Vampire Princess, and the last one being the Vampire Prince.

Related to these people, the Vampire Prince had caused major chaos by dropping out of the academy. It was still trending to this day and all though dropping out wasn't the best thing, the people still placed great importance on this move from the prince.

They were given stats from the academy and the other alumnus that the Prince was so far ahead from all that dropping out was the only way. There was no competition for the Prince as all the other students were far below him.

The Prince's points were shared by the academy on their website and noticing the gap between him and the rest, people were shocked out of their wits.

The Prince's score were ten times more than the one in the second place. The gap between the second and third was almost negligible but the gap between the first and the fourth was twenty times.

This had never happened in the academy history and thus, people thought highly of Lith despite him dropping out.

Other than that, his video being leaked and then being deleted from the face of the world was something that people still remember. It was a vivid memory and that was just one of the few instances when people realized that they shouldn't mess with the authorities.

People looked upto the mighty figures and the Vampire Prince was one of them.

His dropout inspired many other individuals to do the same, but the public had the opposite reaction when the young children did that.

The kids who followed Lith's steps were greatly condemned for doing so, they were told that they weren't the Vampire Prince who possessed monstrous prowess and they also weren't too extraordinary or powerful than their peers.

The young kids had realised at an early stage that it was not always good to follow in the footsteps of your role models and they had to take a bitter pill for that.

More than decade had passed since the dropout incident and now there were fresh blood pouring in the academy.

The entrance exams were happening once again and other than a few individuals, there weren't anyone the people were interested in.

One of the prodigies was rumoured to have an extremely rare seven elemental affinities. People were really interested in looking at that.

From what they knew, even the Vampire Prince only possessed six elemental affinities. At least, that's what the news from the academy and the other students had said, but there were many theories that the Prince may just be hiding his strength and actually possessed more affinities.

The Prince had become a benchmark for all students for the deeds he did in the academy and his short one year in it.

Previously it was the Vampire Princess but the Vampire Prince had far exceeded from what she had done in the first year.

The world was yet to have another young talent like that and every year they looked forward to seeing someone pass the Prince.

Currently their eyes were on the prodigy with seven elemental affinities but sadly they didn't know who he was or from what family he belonged.

The people just knew that there was one such child coming for the entrance exam this year.

All information related to students participating was classified. The academy took strict measures to do such a thing and no matter if it was one million or ten million students giving the exam, the academy didn't leak information of even a single child.

If any staff was found to do such a thing, strict actions were taken. But thankfully, nobody did such a thing as they were pretty afraid of the Principal, who had just shown a glimpse of what she could do by suppressing and punishing the Vice-Principal.

Plus, people knew that the Principal had close ties with not only the Heavenly Emperor, but also the newly ascended Supreme Rank. They thus didn't dare cause troubles.

But…

Not everyone was the same.

Although nobody was leaking information on students, there was someone who was planning to harm one of the students participating in the entrance exam.

That person…<.com></.com>

He was currently sitting in a room of a cheap inn in the city below the sky island and gazing in the direction of it.

"Time left for entrance exam to end?" The person asked softly.

[Answering: Two minute and fifty one seconds.]

"Good." The person called out.

This person was none other than the system user Lucas. He was the only person in the world with it other than Lith.

Lucas had plans to hunt the kid with seven elemental affinities. He wanted to absorb those affinities and become an all elemental mage and he had been planning this thing even before the birth of the prodigy.

Lucas had been stalking the family of the prodigy for quite a while and he had come up with a conclusion that hunting the kid when he had finished the exam would be the best time.

The kid was born in a King Rank family and Lucas currently couldn't clash with them since he was just a Rank 9. But that didn't mean Lucas couldn't find an opportunity to strike the kid.

The opportunity was now.

The family had kept the child a secret and they had tried their best to do it.

But news of him obviously leaked as the kid participated in the entrance exam and showcased his affinities.

Although his appearance, name, and everything wasn't known by others since the academy kept the information classified, his affinities were out in open as the kids who clashed with the prodigy had talked about it to others and spread it everywhere.

In any case, the kid was pretty safe and the family had not sent too high level guards to protect the kid.

There were immortals protecting him for sure, but they could be dealt with easily.

Lucas was currently waiting for the right opportunity to strike and from his memories as well as stalking the kid for so long, he knew that he should be teleporting out of the sky island and arriving somewhere close in this small town below the sky island.

Five minutes passed.

Lucas was standing at the window and staring at the place in front of him. The kid should be out any minute now.

Finally, his predictions were confirmed when he saw a few guards from the King Rank Family walking towards a certain alley.

Lucas immediately jumped out of the window and applying stealth spells on himself, moved towards the guard.

What Lucas was about to do was very risky. He was not only going to be in serious trouble from the King Rank family, but if known by others that a prodigy was killed, many more higher leveled powerehouses would come after him.

Leaving aside others, attacking a participant of the academy exam directly meant offending the academy.

Lucas would end up making the enemy out of the Principal and also the teachers present there.

Although Lucas was scared of the Principal, the benefits of killing the kid far outweighed it. He was therefore fine in offending her.

He knew she was closely related to the Vampire Prince and also knew that her ally was the newly ascended Supreme Rank, but still, despite the risk, the benefits were too much to not ignore this.

Lucas trailed behind the guards of the King Rank family and since they were immortals, Lucas kept himself at a good enough distance from them.

He had the help of the system and so knew if the guards would be alerted or not.

A few moments later, the guards were in a dark alley and soon, someone in a black hooded robe appeared close to them.

The guards immediately surrounded the person and walked out of the alley slowly.

'There he is!' Lucas exclaimed in his mind as he watched the kid.

He put up his guard and readied himself to attack the kid. He had to wait patiently for the guards to come out of the alley.

Soon…
