Reincarnated into a New World As a Vampire

Chapter 60: Admission 3

"Go to your superiors and tell them that someone very promising has come to enroll."

The lady paused for a second as she stared blankly at Aldritch, then she suddenly got up gently and headed towards the back where she proceeded upwards the staircase.

Aldritch just had to relax and wait for the results now. Seeing as he was supposed to be such a talent, he could think that the head of the school would most definitely be the one to come down, or at least someone holding considerable position. In such an event, he could also try use his hypnosis on them to seize control, from there his domination of the academy could begin.

It wasn't part of his plan originally to progress so fast, but when there is an opportunity, there is no reason not utilize it.

While they waited, Aldritch picked some of the small berries that were placed on the table, grabbing a handful after tasting their sour sweetness.

"You can go now, everything will be ok from here." Aldritch said to Maggie.

Maggie couldn't protest per se, so she followed his command and left.

A few minutes later, while Aldritch enjoyed the sweet berries in his palm, his face morphed into a serious expression as he sat up on the chair in a sudden jolt, 'my hypnosis is broken? It was seen through…'

He jumped up immediately, using all the momentum he could muster, he ran out of the building that instant.

A couple seconds after he ran out of the building, the ceiling above the reception area gave way and collapsed under sudden pressure, scattering dust and debris around. A tall and burly man rose from the rubble, emerging from the all the dust. A scowl was etched on his as his eyes scanned the surroundings trying to find something, but to no avail.

Even in his anger, he seemed to be maintaining his calm, though, the large cavity above would say otherwise.

In fury, he walked outside the building as he quickened his pace, deep down, knowing that the culprit was already gone.

"S-Sir, Headmaster, what is the problem? What angered you so much that you would bring down the ceiling in your fury?" A man who looked older than the middle aged headmaster asked as he rushed through the dust that was settling already.

"Just now, we had an invasion, probably from the bastards of the Red Gate Order." The headmaster said in a cold but calm voice.

"W-what? The Red Gate? I'll mobilise some men this instant, hey won't escape!" the old man said as he was about to turn away, but the headmaster stopped him…

"The culprit was strong enough to use mind control, there's no way we'll be able to catch him now that he has already slipped out hands. If I didn't have Labra with me, we would have never realized even…" the headmaster said as his face crunched up even more, though only slightly and barely noticeable. He turned to the side and the old man's gaze followed his.

From the hole in the ceiling, two people floated down to the ground. One of the women wore a luxurious purple dress and a purple garment over it, laced in various embroidery and designs, all in white colour, same as the hem of her garment. This woman was Labra, a formidable witch, and the former Primordial Dame of Purple who betrayed the Lunar cult and now assisted the kingdom in various ways.

In her right hand was the receptionist dressed in a standard suit like wear, standard for such work.

Once they touched the ground, Labra allowed the lady go.

"Lady Labra." The old man said. Labra didn't pay him any attention as she walked up to the headmaster.

"I suggest you don't try and handle this just within your ranks here at the academy, and report this to the appropriate station to take action." After saying so, she walked out of the building and left.

Watching her leave, the headmaster looked even worse, though only slightly and barely noticeable, he held back whatever emotion his heart bore. He looked around one more time, then ordered the old man to get someone to clean up the mess and organize those who would fix the ceiling. In the meantime, he returned to his office.

A few minutes ago, Aldritch had sprinted all the way towards the academy gates. He could have jumped the fence, but that would drag too much attention too soon, plus, the gates would be the same distance.

He approached the gates with such speed that the guards stationed there were more than shocked, at least Hens was, the other guard didn't seem to care.

Sighting that it was Aldritch running towards the gate and with such a face, Hens opened the gate for him before he got close.

"Slow down! What's making you run like that?!" Hens asked, but Aldritch dared not stop and just ran out of the academy and towards anywhere that seemed like he could use as a temporary hiding place.

"What's his deal? Did he get rejected?" Hens questioned himself.

"Huh? Who was that? Why're they running around with such speed? What's the deal?" The other guard asked, surprised.

"Nothing special, don't bother." Hens brushed it off.

'Was he rejected? But he was pretty strong, why would they reject him?' Hens questioned. The only conclusion he could come to was that he would have been rejected precisely because he was a commoner. This conclusion brought displeasure to Hens' tongue, it was a sour reality.

He looked towards the direction Aldritch had ran off to for a while before looking back into the academy through the gates.

'I need to talk to the girl who was with him… I won't let such a talent escape me this time.' He said to himself in his mind.

While thinking more on it, he remembered the girl having a strange temperament, one not usual for a normal girl of her age and status… but then he shrugged it off, as if she was part of a well to do merchant family, she would want to act like nobility instead of a commoner. On that thought, he just shook his head lightly with a somewhat solemn expression on his face, laced with a faint smile.
