Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 373: Several worrying things

Reagan Cooper led Matt and Isla into his own office and quickly closed it. He could tell he was a little anxious as he turned around to look at Matt.

"Are you okay? What happened?" he asked quickly, and Matt shook his head.

He decided to tell him several things regarding what had happened and where he was. He had already told Isla, but this time, he didn't give too many details.

Still, it got Reagan's attention.

"Were you really in that dangerous place? How the hell did you get out of there alive?" Although he asked the question, he didn't expect an answer, as the important thing was that he had managed to get out of there alive.

Instead, he decided to focus on another subject.

"Forget about it for now. Things have gotten a bit complicated. I'd like to send you straight to the First Academy along with Isla. You can't last long here; it's a bit dangerous around here," he said quickly.

Although he was happy to see him and wanted to ask him a lot of questions, right now, he knew that the situation around here was not something to be taken as a joke.

That surprised Matt.

"What happened?" he asked.

Reagan sighed. "There's trouble everywhere lately. The first thing is numerous professors who seem to be supporting a woman who should have been killed along with all the Whites, Hanna White.

I don't know what she did, but she won over many professors to support her on some issues regarding Isla; she's still here because the professors refuse to budge on sending her to the First Academy, despite the fact that she should be among the elite by now." He said and nodded to Isla.

She had already told Matt a bit about it, so it wasn't a surprise to him, but it bothered him.

Reagan Cooper continued speaking. "Maybe it has something to do with a token that was given to Hanna; I think it belongs to Cecily Edevane, the Heiress, who has a great status in the world. She had to have bought those teachers, and even the King and my status can't do anything because it's an internal academy matter."

Matt stared at him. "A token? Tsk, if I had known earlier, I would have picked it up." He replied, catching Reagan's attention.

"What do you mean?" she asked, and Matt smiled.

"When I came back, Hanna White tried to kill Isla in front of me, so I killed her. But I didn't go through her stuff because she was left as mincemeat." Matt replied, causing Reagan to choke.

"Cough, cough, cough... Wh-what?!" In shock, he stood up abruptly from where he was sitting.

"Y-you killed Hanna White?" he asked in a loud shout, and Matt nodded.

"That's really dangerous! Cecily Edevane is a very possessive woman! Someone once cut off one of her subordinates' arms, and she got so angry that she killed him and killed almost his entire family for it. And she's one of the Three Most Powerful Heirs today!"

The worry was palpable on his face as he spoke, but Matt wasn't worried about it.

"Don't worry about it; that woman, Hanna, was one of the ones who betrayed us at the borders. It wouldn't have mattered to me even if that woman, Cecily, had been present. As the target of my revenge, I was going to collect it this time to avoid future trouble since she got away from me last time." Matt replied. His nonchalance made Reagan stunned, wondering what had happened to him this time.

The change in him was radical, after all.

Reagan had a hard time processing this information, but by the end, he had nodded and focused on continuing to talk.

"That being the case, I'll continue, but we'll talk about this after I finish telling you things." He said, glaring at him, though he had to avert his gaze because somehow, Matt's gaze was so steady and powerful that it had made him shudder with fear.

Maybe it was his blood.

"The teachers on Hanna's side will possibly be hysterical when word spreads that Hanna died, and if they know it was at your hands, it will be worse. So it's best to keep it a secret for now. But they're not really a danger to you; those are barely an appetizer." He said and grabbed some documents to give him.

"Recently, the First Academy has been reinforcing the second. The word that has been spread is to protect them more, but in reality, it is because there are threats nearby. The Devourers have been more active than ever these past few months and, in addition, the City of Clans has made several changes within.

All of these changes seem to point to the Vampire Academy, and powerful people have been seen hanging around the surroundings of the City of Dawn and the City of Commerce."

"A huge inscription was also discovered around the City of the Bloody Dawn, which we don't know what it's for, but it somehow activates occasionally and then deactivates. We don't know who put it there, but according to our research, it should be the work of the Organization we've been pursuing." His clear and concise words made Matt get the picture of what was going on.

It looked dangerous and also a little annoying. But Matt didn't care too much about the final topic because he knew what inscription he was referring to.

He was more concerned about the movements of the City of Clans, and that was only because he wanted to get into that Library inside the City. If he could discover so many things with a single book that perhaps came from those places, what if he managed to get in there?

That's why he was thinking a lot about it.

"I'm interested in some topics, but I'm also curious what it was that happened for the First Academy to move so many people here. I don't think just because of the sightings is enough."

Reagan nodded. "There are a couple of reasons. The first was that several students have been killed in the last year. It's over 10 now, and the number seems to be increasing. We have found a few assassins, but they seem to be hired, so the information we have is not too much.

We confirmed that there is a hand from the Organization we are fighting, although they seem to be afraid to meddle themselves, and so they hire assassins from other minor organizations."

"And the second of it is because without Sophia Murphy's presence at the Academy, enemies have more freedom to move around. You may not know this, but the fact that the Heirs with Destiny are always the Student Leaders is because they also serve as Protectors of the Academy. As long as an Heir with Destiny is there, the Vampire Clan it belongs to will protect the Academy.

If she, the second most famous Female Heir leaves us, the Academy is only left with Alice, who is not well known and is underestimated for her low power. Plus, the fact that she was missing. All of that causes the Academy to be running out of protectors, and under such a big threat as an Organization of such magnitude, things get complicated."

Matt frowned. That was something he didn't know, but it seemed to show how crucial and important the Vampire Clans were.

"Doesn't the Academy have powerful individuals at the top? Aren't the Directors powerful enough to protect the Academy without the presence of a Vampire Clan? And aren't there alliances between the Academy and the Vampire Clans?" Multiple questions came out of Matt's mouth.

"The Directors are powerful, but not that powerful. Don't underestimate the power of that organization or the City of Clans, those guys are so powerful it's scary. And the alliances, even though they are, you've seen it. Students keep dying, and while the Clans provide some protection, they can't do as well when they must assist their Heirs in developing their territories."

It was an unsatisfactory answer, but there was nothing to be said or done. Powerful people are everywhere in this world, but most of them go about their business and don't care about the rest.

Matt didn't mind the Academy either, but for now this place was a bit of a base in which he was hiding out to grow.

But after Reagan Cooper's explanation, he could understand why he wanted Matt to go to the First Academy.

"That being the case, that's fine. Anyway, I came here to go to the First Academy since I want to expand my knowledge. Besides, you shouldn't worry too much. Alice will soon give a big surprise, as her power has grown quite a bit." Matt replied.

"What do you mean? When you both left, you were close to 10,000 power, true? It's hard to advance after crossing that gap. Did she manage to reach 20,000?" He asked in surprise.

If she achieved such a good feat in such a short time... He shouldn't worry too much, then. As long as the Heir Leader proved that he or she was up to the task and close to obtaining the Second Ability at such a young age, everyone would have respect.

But Matt smiled, "Heh, only 20,000? Don't make fun of our abilities, Professor Reagan." After saying this with a chuckle, Matt took out the Vampire Ball and inserted power to use it.

Suddenly, it glowed, and an absurd and meaningless number was displayed above it.
