Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

'No...' Matt sighed.

This was annoying. It was basically new problems for him and now he doesn't know where the problems are coming from, though he could associate them to the same organization.

He didn't think it was Sophia because he doesn't think she's that stupid, still, being on two sides at once is something a lot of powerful people would do. On earth, it was a common practice, so there should be such people here as well.

That's why, even though he doesn't think it's Sophia, he must doubt her. This is especially true because not many people should know that Matt is staying in this house, which has belonged to Sophia for many years.

While this didn't present a real problem for him, the problem was that if these guys left that head there, it meant that they had marked him as a target and were sending him a message.

'That's annoying. I was thinking of using this guy to gain more information. Too bad.' Matt looked at the blood-stained floor and moved his hand towards that blood.

It was almost dry by now, but the blood reacted to his movement and began to float in a swath of blood that went into a small container he had just pulled out. After he got all the blood in there, the floor and table were as good as new.

He looked at this guy's head in his hand and wondered what he should do with it.

'For now, I should store it for research. When I find out everything, I can give you a burial. At least that's what I can do for you after you gave me good information for free.' Matt thought, and after freezing it, he stored it in his ring.

Isla was behind him, trying to investigate some things. She had improved markedly since Matt left, so, given some time, she could figure out footprints and such.

"Matt, there were three people. I feel like there was a male and a female; the other, I have no idea." she said, as she studied the ground a bit and looked at the dust with some research stuff.

Matt turned to look at her and smiled, "That's right. That was three people using cloaking material, so I'm surprised you can see it. You seem to have improved quite a bit in this time." Matt said.

Isla looked at him for a moment. What she said had been said subconsciously, so she felt embarrassed but grateful to him. "Thank you for teaching me, Matt," she replied and stood up.

"Come on. I'd like who's the bastard that did this." He said and started walking, surprising Isla.

"Huh? Where are we going?" she asked in shock, and Matt smiled.

"Well, they're not too smart when it comes to hiding. Maybe we'll get lucky and find something good, so let's follow them. You're going to have to use your skill a little." He replied and began to follow the tracks on the ground.

Right now, it was pretty easy for him to see them. Matt didn't walk through the academy but followed it as it flew through. After a long while of walking, the footprints moved towards the Main Academy section—the one behind the castle, where the higher-level students studied.

When they got here, the tracks split and ran to two different sides. But Matt was able to follow the trail of both and realized that they ended up coming to the same place and it was just a separation for distraction.

The tracks stopped at one of the office buildings over these mountains. Since there were no classes right now, it should have been in solitude.

But it wasn't.

There were a few people working there.

Matt nodded to Isla for her to work the skill, and soon, Isla's ability began to work.

A mental disorder suddenly hit them, causing them to stop what they were doing and focus on talking about random topics.

Meanwhile, Matt and Isla walked to the side of them and looked at what they were doing.

Scrolls and different devices had scattered information about various things.

But it didn't seem to be anything of value. Just academy stuff.

'All the offices are closed except this one. In this totally dark building, only these guys are working. There's no way it's on Academy stuff.' Matt took a closer look at these scrolls and the whole room in general.

The randomness of the words coming out of these guys' mouths was annoying, but suddenly something useful came out of them.

"When we killed him, he cried a lot, didn't he?"

"It was painful, wasn't it? We tortured him into saying."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Huh? Eli? What was his name?"

"Roberts, Roberts was his name."

"Yeah, yeah. Her. That woman... Wasn't she a man?"

They spoke strangely and confusedly as if they couldn't gesticulate correctly what they meant.

This was because of the mental disorder. Isla's ability was no small thing. The disorder diverted them from what they were doing and made their perceptions turn elsewhere, ignoring what was in front of them.

But, despite the mental clutter, it was clear that they were talking about Eliot Roberts.

'If they keep talking about that, it means that not much relevant has happened these days. If they work for someone else, killing them would make those guys go into hiding. But the information about what Sophia said is just now spreading, so if I leave them alive, they're likely to go into hiding, too, when that information gets to them.' Matt frowned and looked to the side.

A small light crossed his eyes as he saw a bird fly in through the window and fly over to grab one of the scrolls to be delivered.

Matt drew a line between the bird and the scrolls and quickly measured the exact angle at which the bird would land. And with astonishing speed, he grabbed the scroll that was there, preventing the bird from grabbing anything.

That startled the bird, but before it could let out a squeak to complain, Matt made a smooth motion with his hand and grabbed it.

The bird somehow fell asleep at that instant, so no one knew what happened besides him. Even Isla didn't notice that Matt had moved.

Matt looked at the scroll and opened it to read it. But he didn't need to do that until he was done to know what to do.

He approached Isla from behind. "We're leaving," he said. She nodded, so she started walking backward without deactivating his ability.

But suddenly, she saw Matt move dramatically toward the men and women present and arrive behind them in an instant.

That movement broke Isla's ability, so those guys regained their senses.

"Heh, Vampire Prosperity Organization, why do you guys keep sticking your noses where you shouldn't? I don't care what you do, but stop targeting those who are important to me; it won't end well for you," he said. His words made all those guys shudder in fear, but before they could move, their heads rolled.

After that, Matt and Isla left the room, leaving their heads lying all over the place. They took some valuable scrolls with them before leaving.

Matt smiled slightly as he walked out and looked at the moons in the distance. 'A Philosopher's Stone, huh... I didn't expect this organization to have anything this good. It looks like it's more powerful than I thought.'
