Vampire's Slice Of Life

Abalax Sky Island, Espat.

As the tournament ended prematurely and with the announcement from the principal, a joyous atmosphere was created on the sky island.

The sky island was filled with happy cries of the first-years. They were partying, hanging out, strolling, dancing and doing a lot of other fun activities.

They were told that they would pass this year and this meant they didn't have to worry about failing. They just had to ensure that they got their minimum merit points in order to get proper resources and that's about it. They could relax this year and prepare for the upcoming ones.

These past few weeks since the start of the academy had been very hectic for everyone. They had to take one test after another, one lecture after another, and so many other things. Plus, they also had to attend their club activities which was mandatory.

They didn't get any time to enjoy their hobbies or do anything else. The only time they got to relax was during their sleep. The students had to sleep for 6 hours every day and the academy ensured that they did.

There were teachers in every dorm that checked up on the students from time to time, to ensure that they were sleeping. They didn't invade their privacy, they would use an artifact to check their spiritual power fluctuations and their body stats.

There shouldn't be little to no fluctuations in spiritual power and the body stats should all be stable with no spikes in anything, be it their hormone levels or their heartbeat.

The students thus had it rough until yesterday when the principal made that announcement. Words weren't enough to describe the relief and happiness they felt due to it.

Amidst this joyous atmosphere, there was one dorm room which had a completely different vibe to it.

"Noooo… How… Why… Ahhh…" Lucas was going through a series of negative emotions as he sat there on his bed.

"Why does no one among the four have any inheritance? Did they not go to the trial? What happened in the end?" Lucas questioned with a frown.

[Answering Host: An Anomaly occurred.]

"Of course it did. Do you think I don't know? If you know what it is, speak it up, if not, shut up." Lucas said in displeasure.

The system didn't say anything after it. Lucas sighed, finding such a reaction from it.

"Just what went wrong? The traps were proper, the four were on their way, but what caused this event to change? Hmm… One second… Hey system, you sent a mission in the middle of the tournament, asking me to do nothing right? Why was that mission triggered? And who was it because of whom I was eliminated from it? The spiritual power seemed familiar at that time to me. Who was it?"

[Answering Host: User not registered in the system. Data insufficient, can't answer.]

"Tsk." Lucas clicked his tongue in annoyance. This goddamn system wasn't reliable at all.

Lucas collapsed on his bed and closed his eyes. "What's gone is gone. I need to focus on the more important events. First thing that needs to be done now is to stop that maid from going to the Shadow River Sect. Next, I need to check if that baby is born or not."

He then went to sleep to relax and calm his mind and body.

…..

Lith's Dorm, Abalax Sky Island.

The entire building had a cozy and warm atmosphere. Everyone was relaxed and happy. For doing their job well and helping their teacher out, they had gotten a lot of merit points and benefits.

The three people were allowed to skip any class they wanted for the next one month. They could even choose to not attend any. The best part about it was that their one month vacation was coming up right after this month which meant that they would have not one, but two months to relax.

They could do anything they wanted on the sky island for a month and after it ended, they would be sent back to their homes. Today was the first day of their relaxing vacation and to celebrate the start of it, the three were gathered together in the lounge room on the ground floor.

It wasn't just the three that were present here. There was also the cow and Rena present. The cow was lying on a large bean bag at the corner of the room and Rena was beside it on a relatively smaller bean bag.

Lith and Dennis were sitting on the sofa, facing opposite to each other whereas Ralph was on the chair at their sides. The three were playing a card game together and were in their casual comfy outfits.

Lith was wearing black flip flops, white shorts and a loose light blue t-shirt. There was nothing else on him apart from the other accessories such as his spatial ring, his protective ring and a white cross earring on one of his ears. His silver hair was tied in a rough man bun and his purple eyes were focusing on the five cards in his hands.

Ralph was wearing a pink hoodie, white sweatpants and black slippers. His pink hair was slightly parted to the side and had a gloss on it due to him shampooing today. He had two cards in his hands.

Dennis on the other hand was sitting barefoot on the sofa with his legs crossed. His slippers were on the ground. He wore a black sweatshirt, white shorts and had a red conical hat on his head. The hat was drooping backwards as it was made from a soft material. He had seven cards in his hands.

Dennis sneaked a look to see what Lith and Ralph were doing and tried to read their facial expressions. But what he saw were just their neutral faces that had no expression on them. 'Tsk. Show at least a few expressions…'

Lith turned his head up and looked at Ralph and Dennis. He could see Dennis's face that screamed of his panic. He had the most cards and Ralph was about to win. It was Lith's turn and he looked at Dennis and smiled.

'Why is he smiling? It's not right…' Dennis knitted his brows.

Lith took out a card and slammed it on the table.

Draw +4!

"What!?"
