VAMPIRE'S SLICE OF LIFE - Season 1 Episode 82

“Hey dude, can I sit here with you? Or is it occupied?”

“Take a seat.” Lith said to Dennis after his confusion was gone.

“Thanks man. By the way, I am Dennis.” Dennis said after sitting down. He started cutting his steak and looked at Lith and introduced himself a little.

“Nice to meet you. I am Lith.” Lith said in a neutral tone.

“Lith? Damn, you have the same name as that of his highness the Prince.” Dennis said in amazement while chewing onto his medium rare steak.

“Do I? Why do you call him so respectfully even though you are so far away from him.” Lith asked, a little interested.

“Oh well, you see, we are instructed by our parents to not take the names of the people from the Royal Clan and call them with respect even if we are outside.” Dennis said while sipping on some blood.

“So you are forced to respect them?”

“No. We are not forced. We do it willingly. I actually respect her majesty the Queen and her highness the Princess a lot. Without the Queen, we wouldn’t be a main race and without her highness the Princess, we would have many problems in everyday life. Also she was the one who promoted my clan to a Duke one, so yeah I guess?”

“So you are from a Duke Clan.”

“Ah shit! Hey pretend I didn’t say anything okay? It was nothing but a slip of tongue!” Dennis said hurriedly.

“Too late. Which Duke Clan are you from?” Lith said with a smile.

“Sigh. Please keep it a secret. It’ll be troublesome if word got out that I am from a Duke Clan. There’s no point in hiding it from you now. I am from Clan Dracula.” Dennis went through a series of emotions and said.

Lith was internally laughing. This guy, he is still very unrestrained. He thought to himself.

“Nice. Now what about the Prince? You didn’t talk about him.” Lith said while supporting his chin with his hand.

“Oh, the Prince, hmm, I’ve talked to him once. He seems a pretty chill guy. He was actually very knowledgeable. I naturally respect him for that and I don’t really feel bad about it.

So yeah, just like me, everyone in the Vampire Society respect the Royal Clan from the bottom of their heart even if they haven’t met or seen the people from the Clan. Just from the fact that the Queen protects us all, it is enough.”

Dennis finished his steak and the blood drink he had on the side. He said after gulping down the blood

“I don’t like this blood drink. It is clearly blood but it tastes like orange juice. Just where the fuck did they make it from?”

Lith was amused by Dennis’s ability to change topics. He smiled and didn’t say anything more. He thought of introducing himself to Dennis as the Prince but now that he asked about himself so much, he felt a bit embarrassed in doing so. He would reveal himself the next time he met so that no one would feel awkward.

Lith was walking towards the stage where he needed to fight. There were monitors and sign boards everywhere to talk about the directions and instructors were present at certain intervals too. He found his stage to fight pretty easily. His combat stage was H-8 and once he reached, he found his opponent already waiting for him.

Lith walked opposite to him with a neutral face. The refree looked at him and gestured for him to stand at a certain spot. Lith followed the instructions. The refree said

“You have 10 minutes. You can fight without holding back. The one who does more damage on their opponent, wins.”

After saying that he raised his hand up and dropped it and said loudly

“FIGHT!”

Lith’s opponent dashed towards him. He yelled “Water Cage!”

A square cage of water was made out of thin air and trapped Lith in it. Lith looked calmly at his opponent. He had ten years of battle experience. Beaten to near death everyday by his big sister now seemed to show it’s effect.

He walked towards the cage and touched one of the bars made of water. The cage disintegrated into a pool of water and Lith pointed his index finger towards his opponent. The pool of water moved towards him and wrapped his opponent in it.

The water blanket which was wrapped on his opponent got tighter and tighter until

SPLASH!

A splashing sound was heard and the water blanket dropped to the ground. After it dropped, there was not only water but also a pile of flesh and bones.

He had smashed his opponent to meatpaste!

The refree looked at Lith, bewildered. He was a little shocked. Every year there were prodigies but nobody seemed so effortless while fighting. He composed himself and took out a tablet from his spatial ring. He tapped it a few times.

He then got into the pile of flesh and blood and constructed a magic circle around it. Soon, it started to glow in a green colour and the flesh and blood started to integrate into each other and his opponent’s body was restored. After a few more minutes, the body started to twitch and his opponent opened his eyes and looked around in panick and fear.

The refree got back to his position and said loudly

“Lith Evure wins and advances to the next round.”

Just as he said that, Lith’s opponent’s registration badge started to glow and the space around him fluctuated and he teleported out of the stage.

Lith looked at the refree and said with a smile “Thankyou.” and left the stage.

He looked at his badge and the screen displayed 15789 on top and estimated time as ’13:57:18′ on the bottom. The time was reducing with each second. The time was in hours:minutes:seconds format.

He had a lot of time until his next round. He stretched and moved towards the waiting area once again to relax.

In a corner of arena H.

“Hmm, Emmy, not bad, not bad. This boy seems strong. Alright, if he keeps winning like that and come in top 200, I’ll take him as my personal student.” Arya said to Emilia while sitting beside her.

“See. I told you. He also has good manners and is not arrogant or haughty.” Emilia said with a smile.

“Miss Arya you want to be the teacher of class A-1?” Sel from the side picked up the important bit and asked while nudging her glasses up.

“Oops. Sel I sometimes wish you were as dumb as Emmy. But you are right. If I am to become a teacher for this year, I also need good pay and benefits heh heh heh.” Arya said and chuckled.

Emilia was annoyed by Arya’s insult which came at her every few minutes. She didn’t say anything because it would only help Arya feel more amused by her reactions. She was a mature lady and she won’t fall for such things, she thought.

“Miss Arya, madam is not as stupid as you think.” Sel said with a neutral tone and neutral face.

“Hey, Sel! She said dumb not stupid! And whose side are you on!” Emilia couldn’t hold back this time and said to her secretary with an unhappy tone.

“So you admit you are dumb? Hahahaha.” Arya said and laughed.

“Argh! You stinky reptile! I hate you! Hmph!” Emilia said grumpily and snorted.

“Gimme good benefits when I take him as a student okay? I’ll be leaving then. I’ll come back during his next match. See ya!” Arya said and left after making enough fun of Emilia.

“Hmph! It’ll be better if you never came back!” Emilia snorted once again.

“Madam you are missing the key point once again. Miss Arya said that she’ll take him as a student and to give her more benefits.

She already believes that the Vampire Prince would be in top 200. Miss Arya seems confident about it.”

Emilia’s eyes widened. Only now did she realise what Arya had said. She composed herself and got back to her serious professional lady face and said

“It is only natural. You have seen it too right, Sel? That boy didn’t even chant spells and I could feel it from here, the water element in the space around him move. What’s more, they moved according to his will and not due to chant. This only means one thing. He is a genius among geniuses and probably has the potential to be an Emperor rank easily.

That stupid stinky lizard would clearly have felt it too.”

“But madam, do you really think he has such a high potential? The lust family boy, the Dracula boy and the Novius boy seemed much more better than him.

They could be an Emperor rank easily. I don’t think the Vampire Prince has a potential like them.”

Sel put out her honest thoughts.

“You are right, Sel. But you are missing a key thing. Did you forget whose son he actually is?” Emilia looked at Sel with a smile and said.

It took a few seconds for Sel to realise what her madam had said. She then was surprised a little but still maintained her neutral face. She said

“I understand. I overlooked the fact that he is the son of a Supreme rank. He naturally would have the potential to be an Emperor rank easily.

Madam is indeed not stupid.”

“Hey!”
