Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 9: Reagan Cooper and the First Test

Alice showed him the place where he would be living. It was a small villa in the area where the low-level students lived. This villa had three small, nicely furnished houses, a training room, and other things. One of which is where Matt would be living.

Before leaving, Alice also told him to watch out for Professor Reagan, but if he could, give him a chance because he's a good teacher, just very strict.

Matt didn't give this a second thought; he ignored everything else and went into his room to fix it.

A while later, he was lying in his room, reading the rules of the academy and stuff.

This academy divided students based on their power.

If the student has less than 2,500 power, they are considered a low-level student. Only a few benefits are provided, and classes are usually basic.

Once they reached 3,000 power, they were considered mid-level students. Alice was a mid-level student. Then there were the High-Level students, who needed more than 10,000 Power.

Finally, there were the Supreme Level students. In that category, there are only the Heirs who still study.

They are powerful and have over 20,000 Power, a figure Matt still can't understand.

After all, he has tested his power by having only 2,000, and he also saw Alice kill a devourer at a considerable distance when she barely had 5,000.

What would 20,000 power mean, then?

'Looks like I have to try even harder...' He thought.

He was beginning to feel his blood burn. It reminded him of the time when he was a weak hunter, struggling to make a place for himself on the Earth.

At that time, he slowly rose and became the strongest hunter in the world.

'This time will be no different. I only lack you by my side, Charlotte and I assure you that I will find you.' Matt thought.

Besides, his treatment at the academy would not be as an ordinary low-level student but as a subordinate of a Heir. Just as Alice's treatment from today would become that of a Supreme Level student, he would receive treatment similar to that of a Middle-Level student.

So, he's off to a good start.

His thoughts rolled from side to side as he thought about this, and without wasting any more time, he went to sleep.

He would have his first class tomorrow, so he needed to rest.

...

The next morning...

Matt was getting ready to leave when a knock came on his door.

*KNOCK*KNOCK*

The sound brought him out of his thoughts, and he stepped outside to see who it was.

"Miss Moore?" he asked as soon as he saw her. It was one of the girls who lived in this small village.

She smiled at him as soon as she saw him, "Don't you study in Master Reagan's class? Me too, shall we go together?" she asked, smiling, and Matt nodded in understanding.

"That's okay, Miss Moore. Wait for me for a moment, please." He said and closed the door.

He did several things in the room while he tidied up and grabbed some important stuff; after that, he went out.

"Shall we go?" he asked, and she nodded.

Then, they both departed.

The vampire academy is quite large. It is so big that they have to divide it into three academies, one better than the other.

The first one is far from here. It is the lowest level academy and where the vast majority of students are, most of whom are low level and are still trying to reach the second academy, which is where Matt will study.

In the second academy are the students of an acceptable level for their age range or subordinates of the heirs. Here the training areas are much better, and monthly they give good rewards to their students.

Then there is the third academy, which is very close to here and where Alice studies. It is the best of all.

Most students live in large apartments with many rooms, but Matt's case was different, given his new status as Alice's subordinate.

He could skip the low-level academy and study here from the start, thanks to his status, with better teachers and training areas. The fact that Miss Moore was here also meant that she was also a subordinate of some Heir, so Matt wondered whose it would be.

They walked around the academy for a while until they finally reached the classroom where they would study.

There weren't many students when they arrived, but they all showed up promptly before the start time.

And just a few minutes before the start, the teacher appeared.

He was a skinny but stout man with a stern look.

As soon as he entered, he looked at each student as if recording their faces.

After looking at each one, he sat down to wait for the class to begin, which started a few minutes later.

"I have a question for you; what are we?" the professor asked suddenly as he stood up.

The students were surprised by his sudden question. This was the first class; how come he already asked without introducing himself?

One stood out to answer.

"My name is Clark..."

"Quiet, I didn't ask for your name. Does anyone else want to answer?"

Before he could speak, the professor exerted his power to sit him down, forcing them all stunned.

Although that embarrassed the student, he could only lower his head in anger.

Still, with the first example, another person rose to respond.

"We are a superior race. We are vampires, proud of our race and noble by birth." Said this student.

The professor motioned with his hand again to force him to sit down and turned away.

"Only part of it is fine, but what the hell is this about being a superior race? Pure bullshit, you talk." Said the teacher mockingly. The student who was mocked became angry after hearing this.

"Excuse me, professor, but certainly, we are a race..."

"Shut up, you're a little student who hasn't seen the world. Are you contradicting me?" the teacher asked as he gave him a scolding look and wrote something on the blackboard.

It was his name.

"Reagan Cooper, of the Coopers of the West. With a power of 25,000 and a long repertoire in the military fighting the other enemy races, I have received great honors for my journey." He said as he introduced himself and then turned to look at them.

Everyone was in shock to hear their power level. Someone with over 20,000 Power was teaching them... That was a blessing. After all, a teacher with that much power could already teach at the First Academy and would receive good treatment; he is someone powerful.

Reagan Cooper didn't care about their reactions and continued speaking.

"Fighting against the enemy races, I have been able to see that we are not a superior race, as some idiots say, who have never in their lives gone out to fight for their race. We are just Vampires, a different race." He said and then looked at them again.

"We Vampires are proud because the blood of our ancestors was noble, but how many of you have pure blood today?" he asked and looked at them.

None of them could answer that question.

"Over the years, many half-vampires have appeared among your families, which has caused the blood to thin. Do you think we should still be proud of that?"

"No, we shouldn't. We are not the ancestors of our race who could destroy the Sun and distant stars. We are no longer in our golden age, even if we still reign in this world. The only thing we should be proud of is our own efforts and determination. If you think you will make it to the top just because you are of a superior race, then you can walk out that door; there are other classes where you can be welcomed." He said and paused for a moment to stare at them all.

The teacher talked non-stop as he tried to give them a lesson. One that he wanted to get across to them.

But some weren't even paying attention to him.

Still, he didn't care.

He glared at them, who didn't plan to be in his class, and smirked.

"If you stay, don't worry, I'll take care of expelling you." He said, smiling, and then started writing other things on the board.

"We are a noble race, but not a superior race. We are a race that can increase our strength, but we depend on other races to do so, so we are not independent like humans. But that doesn't make us less than them because we are naturally stronger. We have weaknesses and strengths. I want you to learn that very well." He spoke. And after he finished writing down the crucial points, he looked at the students again.

"But just as a noble race, we have responsibilities and obligations. So, from now on, he who violates the rules is not welcome here." He said and focused his attention on four people who were chatting with each other, laughing a little.

"The main rule of the academy is to pay attention when the teacher is speaking. Since you break it, I will cross your names out of this place." He said firmly and crossed out the four names without hesitation, meaning he was expelling them from the classroom.

This left those 4 in shock, who couldn't help but stand up angrily but couldn't even shout when the teacher expelled them through the same door they entered.

All the students, except a few, were shocked after seeing this. Some even swallowed saliva exaggeratedly.

But the teacher was simply unperturbed.

"Now, let's officially start the class." He said, smiling.

"This class will be simple; I only have one announcement. In 1 week, the Control Test will be held. You will all participate, and if you want to stay in my class, you must achieve at least Rank A. There is no second choice." He said firmly.

"Rank A in Control!? Impossible, we barely have one week to train!" Said one of the students, who was in shock, and his shout was followed by the clamor of others, who thought the same.

"Professor, one week is too little time for Rank A; how could we do it? Even the superiors aren't sure they can pull that off." Said another, and he shrugged.

"There are other classes at the same level as mine. You can go there if you think you can't pass the first test." He replied.

The students were stunned, but as they watched the teacher write about the first test in the test log booklet, they realized there was no other option.

It was already recorded.

"Holy crap... How is it even possible for us to accomplish something like that?" said many of them in shock.

"Isn't this going against the rules?" Said another, speaking a little louder to be heard.

The teacher smiled.

"In my classroom, I make the rules. I will have no trash among my students. Either you are a real vampire and have the guts to try at least, or you can go to the other class." He said, silencing everyone who couldn't even find words to contradict them.

There was no turning back now; that would be the first test they would participate in, and they had to get Rank A if they wanted to stay in this class.

Even so, this is not counterproductive for the students since the other classes are just as good and do not have that requirement. This is more counterproductive for the teacher because the fewer students he has, the less he gets paid.

When the students thought this, they couldn't help but smile.

If they all left... Wouldn't that be a hard blow to this teacher? Some of them thought.

The professor didn't mind this either.

"As I told you, you have 1 week to train. Of course, I will not make you accomplish an impossible mission without preparing you beforehand, so I already requested that Proving Ground grant us several halls this week. I paid all the money out of my pocket so that I won't charge you anything; you will be participating in fights on the Level 2 Scale, so you should prepare yourself." He said and then looked at the time and smiled.

"That's it. Starting tomorrow, we will begin. I will see you at the testing ground." Said the professor, smiling and disappearing shortly after, leaving the students in shock...
