Vampire's Slice Of Life

"...It was a pleasant sleep."

Lith looked at his teacher and noticed her messy hair and still sleepy face. Even without her words, he could tell that she had a pleasant sleep.

"I'll go have a shower and see you at the dining table for breakfast." Lith said as he got down from the bed.

"Mhm." Arya hummed in agreement as she tied her hair into a ponytail.

Lith went ahead to freshen up and Arya simply cast a cleaning spell on herself because she was too lazy to go shower. She ordered food for Lith and herself and after it arrived, placed them on his dining table and awaited his arrival.

As she was sitting at the dining table, she started recalling last night and her time sleeping with Lith. At first, when Lith wrapped his arms around her, she felt nothing from it at all. Sure, she could feel Lith's body, but there was nothing else apart from it that she felt.

Their relationship has progressed, and she was at a point where Lith could touch her freely and she wouldn't mind. Of course, he still couldn't touch places where he was not supposed to or she might feel uncomfortable, leading to a crack in their relationship.

Arya knew this, so did Lith, and she could tell that Lith understood her and stayed in his boundaries. She appreciated him for it. Even last night, Lith didn't take advantage of her and Arya was now pretty much sure that he only wanted to have her experience new things and didn't want to take advantage of her.

Any doubt that Arya may have had previously was now gone, and she dropped her defenses against him as she trusted him. But a few seconds later, when she couldn't feel anything while cuddling with him, she recalled that her body had too high of a magic rank and she needed to suppress it.

Arya did just that, and as Lith spooned her from behind, she could feel his warmth. She wasn't sure how or what she was feeling, but one thing was certain: she liked it. She would not deny it and would not lie to others or herself, as she really liked it.

But, as she was enjoying herself while cuddling with Lith, she dozed off at some point, and the next thing she felt was warm and cozy once more. In her half-awakened state, she also felt her hair being caressed, and when she awoke, she saw Lith smiling at her.

She felt embarrassed because she knew this was literally her getting pampered by him but being very open minded, her embarrassment was gone within seconds. Had it been some other teenage girl who just fell in love, she would have blushed hard waking up to such a smile from Lith.

Arya got lost in her thoughts about everything about last night and her time together with Lith. A few minutes passed just like that and Lith finally arrived wearing the academy uniform and sat on the opposite chair at the dining table. The two then started chatting over food about various things.

...

Ancestor's city, Raizen.

"So your son got kidnapped and you don't even know the culprit?" A man wearing red and golden robes, which the people in the world referred to as 'daoist robes', asked while sitting on a throne.

"Yes, Ancestor." Graham, who was questioned, answered.

"And you want my help to look for him?" The Ancestor, aka Darren Whitter, the Supreme rank of the Human race, asked in a neutral tone to Graham.

"That's right, Ancestor." Graham replied, still kneeling down.

Darren didn't answer him and just stared at him. He was thinking about what he could do to help Graham. Though he was a Supreme rank, he wasn't omniscient and had to look at the best course of action he could take.

Having the heir of an Emperor rank family getting kidnapped from their own place was a shameful thing, and Darren had to ensure that such news didn't get out while also helping Graham in finding his son out.

He took out a scroll from his ring and wrote a few things on it with a quill. He folded it and sent it to Graham below and said, "show this scroll to any Emperor rank in Werewolf, Witch and Angel Continent and you can get their help. It can also be shown to Emperor ranks under Dagassi."

Graham put the scroll in his ring and left after thanking Darren.

Darren thought to himself while sitting on the throne, 'just who would have the power to do such a thing? I don't think any Supreme rank would bother with such trivial things. As for Emperor ranks, they have no means through which they can intrude without alerting Graham into his palace. It must be someone who has come out of seclusion most probably, but I wonder who it is…'

Few hours passed.

Lith's Dorm, Abalax Sky island.

The classes were over and Lith was currently in the training arena of his dorms. He was training Rena and was working on improving his coordination with her.

He wanted to put what the academy had taught her to the test and spend some time with her. He felt he had been neglecting her, so after his classes ended, left with nothing to do, he picked her up from the daycare and began training.

Ralph and Dennis were there in the training arena too, training alongside Lith and Rena. They were curious about Lith's magical beast and being told that it was a Purple Night wolf, they both got interested in knowing more.

It was less of a training and more of a spar. Lith and Rena were against Ralph and Dennis. Lith wanted to test out Rena's capabilities, so he didn't go all out and only supported her.

'Rena, after I move four steps ahead, take a sharp left turn and attack,' Lith said telepathically to Rena via their bond.

'Yes, master,' Rena replied.

She always called him master, despite Lith asking her not to. She got a habit of it due to her mother's teaching and also due to the daycare people training her to call him that and couldn't help herself change this.

Lith gave up on wanting to have her not call him master a few tries later when she didn't change it and went about his business.

Ralph and Dennis were coordinating together to defeat Lith. The rules of their battle were simple. Whoever would cause the protective shield around them to break would win.

They had a token on their chest which created a rank 3 protective shield around them. Breaking the shield would result in breaking of the token or vice versa. They could snatch it and break it or they could just hit the protective barrier hard and it would break.

This was pretty much the gist of their battle, and it had only just started. The two teams, one comprising Lith and Rena and another having Dennis and Ralph, were a thousand meters apart from each other.

Ralph and Dennis made their move first and were closing in on Lith and Rena. Watching them come at him, Lith sent that telepathic message to Rena and waited for them to close in on him.
