Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 12: Finally, the real test.

Each room was inspected by one of the managers, and they were in different locations within the same Proving Ground.

What is the Control that is being tested in this place? Actually, it is nothing more than the ability of an individual to control their internal power when it comes to fighting.

Therefore, there is nothing better than the Proving Ground for this. The difference is that, in these tests, the teachers and directors will observe each participant, although they will not determine the rank in which they will be placed, as this is automatic.

At the time of the tests, the first 10 to enter were chosen from the classroom where Matt studies.

He was not among them, so he had to step aside to wait.

As he was waiting, a girl he hadn't seen for several days came up to him smiling.

She looked a bit frazzled, and the dark circles on her face were visible.

"Young Lord Matt, long time no see." Miss Moore said, smiling tenderly as she sat down next to him.

Matt was surprised to see her but nodded to her.

"I haven't seen you in several days. Are you all right, Miss Moore?" he asked back, and she nodded with a slight sigh.

Her hands were shaking slightly, showing that she was nervous.

"...I've been busy trying to improve my control." She said, smiling, and without him asking, she began to talk about some things regarding herself.

"I... Actually, I'm terrible at controlling my power. That's why I came here, and when Professor Reagan told us we could train it in such a good place, I've been doing it day and night. But..." She said and shook her head.

Even though she had tried so hard, she still doubted her abilities.

She needs to get Rank A in these tests, and so she worked herself to the point of sleeplessness all this week. She was motivated and thought she could make it, but...

She doesn't even know what the tests are like; she knows they are challenging to complete, which makes her uneasy.

Matt smiled, 'So that's why I hadn't seen her for several days...' He thought and patted her on the back.

She was surprised and looked at him doubtfully.

"Don't worry, if you try hard, you can do it. I don't know if I'll be able to pass either, but if I'm going to fail, at least I'll give it my all so I won't regret it." He said, and she, although she was surprised, smiled.

"It's true, it's true!" She said, smiling, realizing the meaning of Matt's words.

So, she immediately bowed to him, "Thank you. I'll be sure to try my best." She said, and Matt nodded, though he was a little amused by her enthusiasm.

She looked like a tender little girl.

After telling him that, her excitement seemed to have passed, but she gave him a sidelong glance as she looked down at the ground.

"This... Hey, if we pass the trials, can we team up? I heard that we'd occasionally be sent out to hunt real beasts. Maybe I'm not very strong, but I'll be useful, and going as a team is better. Do you want to?" she asked as she fiddled with her fingers, a little nervous to hear Matt's answer.

Matt looked at her doubtfully.

'Hunting beasts... That's a pretty good thing for real training, plus it'll get me quite a bit of money...' Matt thought.

In addition, he knows very well that hunting as a team is one of the best things you can do to increase your effectiveness. As a former high-level hunter on Earth, he understands hunting concepts very well. More so if it is with a person of similar strength, then he smiled.

"Of course, Miss Moore. If you want, we can team up after we pass the tests." He replied.

She was excited again to hear him and couldn't help but raise her voice, "Okay, let's try our best to pass the test!" she said, happy. Still, then she noticed that she had raised her voice and attracted a little attention from the people present, so she immediately put her hand to her mouth and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Matt smiled at her tender gesture, and so time went on.

Ten by ten, the students present came and went.

Of all the students, most failed the test. Many looked discouraged, which showed that they had tried hard but failed. These had achieved the B Rank and were confident they could accomplish the A Rank if given another few days.

But, the problem is that the tests are stipulated in one day because that is the number of days necessary for the best and those who try their best to pass. If someone needs more than that time to pass, they are not qualified to be there.

That is why there was no room for regrets, and everyone who tried hard realized that they did not try hard enough.

Likewise, many others simply walked out smiling and relaxed after getting the minimum possible for any other class.

They were not worried about being in this class. All of these didn't even make an effort and simply took advantage of Professor Reagan's money spent to train the things they wanted at the Proving Grounds, which is why they were strutting around at the end.

Likewise, they had already made arrangements with other classrooms to change.

They weren't worried.

Those kinds of people Professor Reagan didn't even look at them once. He didn't care about them; his goal was not to retain useless people like them.

His goal was to keep those few who tried hard enough.

Among all those who entered, so far, there were seven who passed the test.

Six were in Rank A and 1 in Rank S, the only one in the class.

He was being watched with surprise by many of those present, as getting the S Rank, the maximum allowed, was more than worthy of praise.

Even Professor Reagan was surprised, though considering his family was outstanding, he could understand.

Then, finally, it was the last team of 10.

In which was Matt and Miss Moore.

They both walked in together.

"All at once, enter your respective testing grounds. You will hear a voice tell you the rules. Good luck." Said a teacher as he instructed them this.

All the students nodded and entered.

Matt soon found himself in the testing field again. There were no mountains this time, just a relatively large open field.

And soon, a voice came to him.

"The Control Test is fairly simple. Five beasts will appear each round; you must slay it using a stipulated amount of power."

"For Rank C, you must kill the first 5 beasts using 100 Vampire Power in each attack or defense. For Rank B, you must do the same as for Rank C in the first wave, but in the second and third waves, you must use 500 Power. Rank A is exactly the same in the respective waves of C and B, but you will have to use 1,000 Power to kill the next 2 waves. Finally, for Rank S, there is only one requirement. Assassinate the beast that will appear, using 1,000 Power in defense and all your Power in attack."

Once they finished saying this, the beasts didn't wait long.

The students were not given time to process the information and were directly thrust into a fight against five beasts at once.

Matt smiled at the sight of this. This was a smile of confidence.

He had been worried about this, but what he had just heard...

'Hehe, this will be easier than I thought.' He thought.
