The Vampire System

Chapter 7 — Night Shade Royale Academy

"This is the Academy?" Aiden mumbled as he alighted down from a black limousine.

 The sheer size and decor of the Academy's building was beyond anything he could ever imagine.

 Taking a look at the premises, he noticed that all the students came in expensive looking cars.

 From the grandeur of their movement and the dignified air surrounding them, even an infant could tell that they were all nobles.

 "Pheew. I can do this" Aiden took a breather as he sauntered towards the school building.

 At the lobby area, there were four platforms with plaques besides them.

 Freshmen

 Sophomore

 Junior

 Senior

 "Hm. According to my card. I am at the class D for the Freshmen Students" Aiden mumbled to himself as he followed a group who were headed for the platform with the *Freshmen* plaque besides it.

 "Though, I wonder what the platform is used for?" he mumbled with curiosity.

 As if answering his question, a male noble amongst the group stepped on the platform.

As soon as he did, the platform got lit with a multi colored light that engulfed him.

 When the light vanished, the noble was nowhere to be seen.

 "What just happened?" Aiden blurted in shock.

 "That's teleportation" a girlish voice said from behind him.

 "Huh?" turning back, Aiden was met with a beautiful figure.

 She had purple colored hair, with curly locks covering the left side of her eyes.

 Although she wasn't a devilish beauty like the maid at Xavier's house, she was a top notch beauty, for a teenage girl.

 She had a slender figure, neither skinny nor chubby.

 "Hi. My name is Charlotte" she introduced with a hearty smile.

 "A-Aiden"

 "That platform is embedded with a teleportation type rune matrix. It's pretty rare and not many nobles can afford it" Charlotte explained.

 "Rune Matrix?" Aiden wondered to himself since the term sounded foreign.

 Few moments later, it finally got to his turn. Stepping on the platform, he felt a warm ray of light embrace him

He had to close his eyes due to the brilliant radiation. But when he opened them, he found himself standing on a similiar platform, in a large hallway.

 "Amazing!" he sighed as he got down from the platform.

 "This is the Freshmen Hall" he heard Charlotte's voice from behind him as she stepped down from the platform.

 "The Freshman Hall has its own library, gym room, combat hall,  four class rooms, cafeteria and the likes. Basically, it's the environment for Freshmen only" Charlotte explained.

 "Geez. How can you know so much when you're just a freshman like me?" Aiden asked.

 "Well, it's borrowed knowledge from my family members who were once freshmen in the Academy" Charlotte explained with a small laugh, exposing the dimples on her cheeks.

 "What class were you posted to anyway?" she asked.

 "Erm. Class D"

 "Whoa" Charlotte covered her mouth in surprise.

 "We happen to be sharing the same class. Come, I'll show you the way" Charlotte giggled, skipping through the large hallway.

"Geez. Isn't my luck just damn too god? It's only my first day and a girl's already talking to me!" Aiden made a mental fist bump.

.

.

 After a few minutes of winding down the hallway, the duo finally arrived at Class D.

 Pushing open the door, Aiden and Charlotte walked into the class room, instantly stealing the spotlight as their new classmates scrutinized them.

 "Hey! look at that guy with pale milk skin"

 "Doesn't he remind you of Nero?"

 "You mean that junior student who beat up a couple of senior students? that Nero?"

 "I heard he's now a senior student"

  "Looks like there's an empty seat for us" Charlotte cheered as she hurried over to an empty bench at the rear end of the third row.

 Just after the duo sat down, the door swung open as a figure walked in.

 He was clad in dark cloak that concealed his whole body, apart from his head, full with deadlocks that covered his eyes, down to the mid part of his nose.

 As soon as he arrived in the class room, the atmosphere became chilly.

"S-Scary" a male studdnt gulped nervously.

 "Kekeke" the cloaked new comer let out a shrill laugh, scaring many female students.

 "I am Nyx.. your homeroom teacher"

 "Home room teacher?" the students chorused in surprise.

 What the hell was the Academy thinking, posting such a scary individual to be their home room teacher.

 "Kekeke. As your home room teacher, I would like to list a select set of rules that you all must follow when in my class- Nyx grinned, exposing a row of shark-like teeth.

 "First rule, no side talks. Second, no form of disturbance, whether it be coughs, laughs, sneeze, chuckles or giggles. And third, if your assessment score is below seventy.. kekeke.. You'll find out what will happen, when that happens of course"

 Badump Badump Badump

 This was the nervous loud beatings of the students chests. Every single word from Nyx had a scary, intimidating effect in them.

 Drip

 Droplets of sweat slid down Aiden's forehead as he rubbed his sweaty palms against his laps.

"Now, let me do a little introductional seminar.." Nyx cleared his throat.

 "If you are sitting in this class room, it means you are students of Nightshade Royale Academy, the Country's number one Academy for Magis.."

 "I don't really care whether you came here through the back door or by the value of your talent. But all that matters is that you're here, and you must give it your all"

 "I won't hide this fact from you.. Class D is the worst and untalented class in the whole of the Freshmen hall.. But that only means, we have to work ten times harder than the other classes. Got that?"

 "Yes Sir!" the whole class thundered with a chorus.

 "Kekeke. Below are the subjects you'd be studying" Nyx brought out a marker and began writing on the board.

 Combat

 Mojo Analysis

 Geography

 Exotic Beast Studies

 Arts and Crafts

  Armament Studies

 "Just like what is on the board, there would be six subjects in your educational catalogue" Nyx began explaining.

"The first Subject.. Combat, will test your combat, giving you a visual feel of what it is like to be on a battlefield. I know many of you aspire to become Sentries, while some Mercenaries. Honestly, I don't care"

 "The aim of Combat classes, is to sharpen your combat senses. The second subject; Mojo Anaylis class.."

 "Just as you know, we mold mana/world energy into beta force which can be used to reinforce our bodies. But for us to cast hexes, a medium is needed, that medium is your mojo"

 "At your current level, you cannot cast hexes. Mojo analysis class will teach you the procedure to achieve such a feat, as well as help you better refine the capabilities of your mojo and bring out it's potential"

 "The third subject is Geography class. It is a crucial subject which I'm not just in the mood to explain. Same as the other three subjects" Nyx rubbed his nose.

 "Alright, that's it for today. Anticipate your next teacher arrival" saying this, Nyx sauntered out of the class.

WTF!

 He left? just like that?
