Since that day when he saw Alice swinging that sword with her power, he began to think, what is vampiric power?
It is pretty similar to mana, but it is not the same as mana.
It has many differences, and whether it is formed from consumed blood or from Vampirism itself is the most significant difference.
Mana is not formed from anything but the same mana existing in the world, also often called world energy.
So, what the heck is vampiric power? Is it vampiric mana? Possibly.
He keeps thinking about it and still can't find a clear answer to it. Still, thanks to that question, he came to another one that served him well: 'What can I do with vampiric power?'
His answer is that, technically, he should be able to do everything.
The fact that it does not come from the world's energy like mana but comes from blood makes it more versatile.
That's why he asked himself...
'Can I do magic as a result of vampiric power?'
And his answer...
It was just confirmed.
He smiled at this.
Maybe it's not so easy to do things with vampiric power, but creating anything he can imagine should be possible. It's just that it requires incredibly high control and tremendous power.
That just makes it even more important in his hands.
For him, a top-tier assassin, being able to do anything with his own base power is a beautiful blessing for which he should be grateful.
'Although the power of the attack is largely affected by vampiric power, for a surprise attack or fighting style, it would look perfect.' He thought as he heard that he had finished the tests.
'These tests are relatively easier; why are there so many failing? Though also my body seems to be a bit different... As well as why I can consume the blood of those devouring beasts.' Matt thought, waiting for the moment when he would be allowed to leave this place.
He spent several days researching in the academy library to learn more about this world and also to learn about the powers of the different races and such.
His research told him that he was alive because his body was particular.
Because if not, he would have already exploded a few days ago.
Now, the truth was that he didn't understand what was special about his body.
Still, there was something else that has been troubling him lately.
His Vampirism.
There's no way by now he wouldn't have noticed it, but this very special ability of his, it's not like all of them.
According to his research, all vampirisms are the same. There is no difference, and the power increase is the same under the same training and circumstances.
There are no second versions or anything like that, so where did his Dietrich Vampirism come from? Clearly, it is an improved version of the real Vampirism.
But it is not as simple as he thought at first; in fact, without realizing it, this Vampirism in his body acts differently and is permanently active. At first, he didn't notice it because he was following Gray's advice, but during this week of intense training, he could tell that, even if he didn't activate it on his own, that ability would always be active.
Although it may not seem like it, that's amazing. It allows him to focus very well on what he should do without having to train with a part of his mind activating Vampirism.
In other people, this is not the case.
That means that his body or his Vampirism is unique.
And the most important issue is that according to the books, Vampirism could never process the blood of a race that is not compatible with vampires. The devouring beasts that have not evolved are an example of a race that is incompatible with them.
But with his Vampirism, not only was he able to process that blood, but the increase was more significant than expected.
And that attack force he received at that time for a moment...
What would it be if not for the Beast Frenzy? But how could a vampire have managed to activate an ability that only devouring beasts could activate?
Matt couldn't understand this even right now, but for some reason, he felt it was normal and didn't understand why he had that feeling.
'In the end, I seem to have been reincarnated in a strange but interesting body.' Matt thought, smiling. It had been many years since he had felt anxious about discovering things.
In those moments, he was finally able to leave this place.
Outside, a pretty lady who had just come out looked for Matt's face, and as soon as she saw him, she ran towards him with a smile.
"Matt, I got Rank A!" she said.
The happiness on her face was evident, giving her a rather cute and cuddly look as she ran up to him.
He nodded to her, "You see? If you try hard, you'll get it for sure." He said, smiling, and she nodded.
"How about you? What rank did you get?" she asked excitedly, but before Matt could answer, the directors and Professor Reagan arrived, attracting the attention of this group.
"Now, we will announce the ranks of this group. There were four in Rank B, 3 in Rank C, 2 in Rank A, and 1 in Rank S. Those in Rank B and C who did not pass Professor Reagan's test, remember that you have other classes available; the doors are always open and sometimes a change of scenery is better." Said one of the directors.
"Matthew Dietrich, Isla Moore, Oliver Turner. Step forward. The rest can go." Said the director.
When Isla heard that Matt had also passed, she was glad. Although she didn't know what rank he had earned, she didn't care. Since they had both passed, then they could team up and go hunting together.
So, she was excited, and soon, the rest were gone, and only the three of them were left.
One of the directors approached each of them to give them the badge that belonged to him.
Isla was shocked to see that the one who had obtained the S-Rank was Matt and stared at him in shock, 'S-Rank? Is he that powerful?' she thought in amazement.
Naturally, she was happy for him.
Rank S is the highest in these tests, and it also means that they will give him more resources to become strong, but the shock didn't allow her to express her words.
And Professor Reagan spoke as soon as he saw everyone in his classroom arriving.
There were only 10, 8 in the A-Rank and 2 in the S-Rank.
The rest of the students who did not pass the test did not even wait for his words before leaving. Still, those weren't important. To Reagan Cooper, these 10 in front of him were more important than the 40 who left.
It's better to have ten monsters than 50 useless ones, after all.
"You have my congratulations; you have passed the test and decided to stay; that makes me feel ingratiated. Now, I will tell you all that from now on, you will be under my care, and I want all 10 of you to become real monsters within the vampire world; that's why, every month, I will grant you high-value resources." He spoke. He knew that saying this now would increase these students' love for training and getting better grades, and perhaps if he had said it earlier, he would have more students.
Still, that was not his goal.
Then he looked at the two in front of him.
"You two will be the class leaders from now on. As S Ranks, I expect a lot from you." He said and then took out some blood bags, awarding them to each.
They all looked grateful, as this is something that in the other classes they would not receive. They felt good that they had tried to pass that test with Professor Reagan.
"You two come with me. The rest of you can go back; classes start tomorrow." Professor Reagan said and turned around as he left with the two S-Rankers.
