Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

She was sitting next to him, expressing her concern about the situation they were in, when Matt launched himself on top of her.

"Ah..." A soft gasp came out of her mouth in surprise, but suddenly, her lips were sealed again.

Those currents of energy that the books mentioned you felt when your loved one kissed you crossed Isla's body, causing her to fall completely into Matt's arms. She didn't need to resist; she just needed to accept this reward he was giving her.

Although she didn't understand the motives, it was enough that he was doing it. So she enjoyed the moment as their hands intertwined, bringing extra illumination to the room.

That beautiful moment lasted for a couple of minutes until Isla felt suffocated. She had no experience kissing, so she tried to catch her breath and continue, but Matt ended the moment as he watched her.

"It's all right. I won't be in danger so easily. And if you think I will be, then you must strengthen yourself to help me," Matt replied as he returned to his place. After that, the two didn't talk much more, as Isla was distracted, and they went to sleep, as they had to prepare several things the next morning.

Neither seemed to care about what they talked about, but they both had a hard time sleeping.

Matt took the time to go out and look at the sky during that night.

'If I should happen to be in danger, it's not a bad thing either. My growth-type ability shines in those cases. Maybe it can be the best in the world in the field, so it's not a bad thing,' Matt thought, looking up at the sky.

Isla's ability could also grow a lot in those cases since she has a pretty big problem right now.

'The guys in that room had about 15,000 power, so Isla's ability was enough to affect them almost totally. But, when she faced those guards who were in the Ceremony, she was totally overwhelmed.'

'That was the reason she fell unconscious for a brief moment and didn't realize what had happened. Being overwhelmed like that by a few guys with 25,000 power is an unfortunate situation, and it's the ceiling of her current ability, so it's in her best interest to use that power against very powerful people to develop.' Matt sighed after thinking about this.

Isla's ability was a marvel. It was so wonderful that Matt had to praise her over and over again, but the problem is that the more power the affected person has, the more it consumes. Isla being someone who hasn't trained her mental fortitude very well, it's normal for such small amounts of power to overwhelm her. Therefore, the more she has to use that ability, the better.

'I need to train with her as well. My mental fortitude is quite strong, so it should be a good apprenticeship for her, which would make her improve noticeably.'

If Isla had known that her skill had failed at that moment, perhaps she would have realized several things. Like, how did they get through those guards without her ability?

But Matt didn't want to answer that question, so he didn't tell her. For now, it's better to keep it a secret.

After he thought for a while and settled his thoughts, he went back inside and went to sleep.

The next morning, they prepared various things at the Academy and left everything ready at the mansion, leaving the Academy once again a day later. They were both heading to the Capital City for the second time in the last week.

It had been five days since the Graduation Ceremony. Everything that happened in that place had already spread throughout the Kingdom, Sophia's words being the ones that caused the most chaos.

But, all that chaos was temporary. The population tends to cause a lot of chaos when it is the moment, but when one or two days pass, everything tends to calm down. That is why the leaders of the Kingdom did not come out to speak during that time. They wanted everything to calm down so they could give some vague words.

But the situation did not seem to want to calm down, even though it had already been five days.

In fact, it was gaining more and more strength.

But the rumors that were spreading were diverse, gradually misappropriating what she had said at the beginning, resulting in more chaos. And the rumor that the Academic Clans had betrayed was out there.

In many people's eyes, all of that was just conspiracy theories with no basis. Many people were skeptical, for there was no proof, or so they thought.

A meaningless skepticism, considering who gave the words, is a person of such a high level that few are above her.

But, the spread of so many rumors mattered very little to those involved. Sophia was on her own, without worrying about all those issues.

While Matt was simply in the Castle, having good tea with the Leaders of the Dark Kingdom.

The guest room of the Royal Castle was quite large. Guests from other Kingdoms were usually received in this place, so there was a huge table in the middle, where everyone sat. Usually, when this room was used, the table was filled to the point of standing people.

But today, that table was empty.

On one side of the table sat the day's guests, two of whom were Matthew and Isla.

On the other side of the table were those belonging to the castle: Dawid Lewis, the King. Ericson Lewis, Senior Duke of the Kingdom. Reagan Cooper, who still maintained his former status, and Emma Lewis.

These four people were the ones who had invited Matt and Isla today. Because they mentioned that they wanted to deliver something to him, Matt expected to be invited to the room where the King issued his commands, like last time, but he was brought here, which meant that what they wanted to deliver to him was not a command, but something different.

"I'm glad you're okay, guy. Honestly, it's a good thing you're back. If you weren't, I'm sure my own daughter would have banished me in a few years. When you disappeared, she almost made many of the ministers disappear simply because she doubted that they were the ones who had brought you to that place." The King suddenly said this to open up conversations and lighten the mood a bit.

Emma Lewis glared at him when she heard him say this, but Matt spoke first.

"Well, it's good that you told me so I can thank her more vehemently. She didn't seem to want to accept my gratitude before, so now I'll have a way to get her to accept them." Matt replied, following the same joking tone with which he started the conversation.

This time, Emma Lewis could only stare at him for a moment and then look away to grab something that was perched on her legs.

She placed some papers on top of the table and then pushed them toward Matt.

"Matthew, my father called you here because I asked him to. I want to give this to you; I honestly don't think I deserve it," she said suddenly, changing the pace of the conversation.

She got straight to the point in a way that made Matt wonder what thing she was giving him, so he grabbed the document.
