Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 192 New Teacher

Clang!

The sound of swords clas.h.i.+ng was heard throughout the arena. Dennis and Ralph were clas.h.i.+ng their swords together. Their fight was intense and had been going on for around ten minutes.

Lith was sitting at the side and a.n.a.lyzing their prowess. His a.n.a.lysis found Dennis to have improved his prowess and was almost on par with Ralph. Whereas Ralph, his movements were refined, the errors he made while attacking were few to none. All he needed to improve upon now was his magic rank.

They continued to clash for a few more minutes and due to their fight being of high intensity, their endurance was tested. Dennis, a few more minutes later felt tired, and taking advantage of this, Ralph, with a lot of force, hit Dennis’s sword away.

The sword was sent flying and it was moving at a fast speed towards Lith; who wasn’t bothered by it at all and let it come at him. The sword quickly closed in on Lith and just as it was about to hit him… it stopped.

‘Hmm?’ Lith hummed in confusion looking at the blade’s tip that was now stopped just a few inches away from his face.

“Be careful, dear.” A lady’s rich and melodious voice rang out in Lith’s ear.

He felt the voice to be familiar and turning back, he saw a blonde-haired, blue-eyed lady wearing round gold rim gla.s.ses and in yellow daoist robes walk towards him. He recognized her. It was Emilia, the princ.i.p.al of the academy.

Walking close to Lith, Emilia lectured Lith, saying, “why are you sitting so close when the two are fighting? What if you get hurt? Look, this sword would’ve harmed you, had I not arrived here in a timely manner. Student Lith, you really need to be very careful of your surroundings.”

‘Eh? What?’ Lith was confused as well as amused hearing her lecture him. Did she forget that he was way stronger than he looked? Or did she forget that he was the top student of the academy? How could a mere sword like that harm him?

Though Lith thought of such things, he nodded his head and said with a smile to Emilia, “I’ll keep this in mind. Thank you for your advice, Miss Emilia.”

“Mhm.” Emilia nodded in return. She then turned to look at Ralph and Dennis—they were so engrossed in fighting that they had no idea what was going on in their surroundings and didn’t notice the princ.i.p.al looking at them.

Emilia didn’t stop them and waited beside Lith until the two ended the fight on their own. She started making mental notes as to where the two could improve as she watched them fight.

Fifteen minutes later.

The fight ended with Dennis getting too tired and collapsing to the ground. He had overexerted himself in the fight and Ralph wasn’t faring off any better. He too was exhausted but not to the extent like Dennis. He sat down on the ground cross-legged and started meditating to rest and recover.

Emilia walked closer to them and snapped her finger. Ralph felt his exhaustion vanish and his spiritual power recover. Dennis woke up from his collapsed state and felt the same things as Ralph. The two, noticing such a change, turned to look at who did this to them and found the princ.i.p.al of the academy standing right in front of them.

The two immediately got up from the ground as they noticed her and greeted her. Emilia waved her hand and asked them to relax. She then took them to the living room and had them take a seat as she herself sat on a sofa present beside the gla.s.s table.

Lith sat on the sofa present opposite to where Emilia was while Ralph and Dennis sat on the seats present just beside the gla.s.s table.

Emilia looked at the three one by one and said with a smile, “your teacher Arya has some urgent work and would be on leave for a few months. I am in charge of you three now and would act in her stead. So basically, I am your new teacher. If you’ve got anything you would like to say, feel free to do so and I’ll try to answer you.”

“What work did teacher get?” Dennis asked, a bit curious.

“It’s confidential.” Emilia replied with a smile.

Dennis nodded his head in understanding. “So, Princ.i.p.al Madam, what are we supposed to call you? Princ.i.p.al or teacher?”

“Miss Princ.i.p.al or Miss Emilia or Princ.i.p.al Emilia, anything is fine. You can call me whatever you feel the most comfortable in.” Emilia said to the three with a smile.

The three nodded their heads. It was next Ralph who spoke. He remembered that she was there during the fight as he caught a glimpse of her midway and thus asked her about it. She confirmed that she was indeed watching and knowing this, Ralph started asking her about what errors he made or what things he could improve upon, to which Emilia gave a detailed explanation to him.

She did the same thing for Dennis too after she finished explaining Ralph. Lith wasn’t partic.i.p.ating and she didn’t have anything to explain to him. After their small lecture was finished, Ralph and Dennis left to shower and rest, leaving behind Emilia and Lith in the living room.

Now that the lecture had ended, Emilia had nothing to talk about to Lith and he himself was at a loss on what to talk to her about. A few seconds pa.s.sed and the atmosphere was starting to become awkward and silent between the two. To break it, Lith let out a small cough, and looking at Emilia, he smiled and asked,

“Miss Emilia, if you’re okay with it, can I ask you a few things about Angels?”

Lith asked a normal question and didn’t resort to flirting like he usually did with Arya. He had learned from his past experiences that flirting with an angel would mean digging his own grave. Angels didn’t like it when someone talked about something unholy or about impure things in front of them.

Flirting, if it was mild, it was okay to some extent but it would still make them uncomfortable. And if someone were to flirt in an unrestrained way with an angel, they could say goodbye to their chances of ever making acquaintance with an angel.

Last time Lith was rash and he thought he may have accidentally messed things up. However, now that Emilia had become his teacher, there was still a way to improve things with her. So the first thing he did was talk normally with her.

He had learned a thing or two about angels from the forums and was now asking questions regarding the same to Emilia, to initiate a conversation and to raise his good impression in front of her.

Emilia was obviously oblivious to Lith’s thoughts and had no idea that he was overthinking so much. Lith’s impression had never degraded in her mind and she still thought of him as someone who has high battle prowess but was innocent and gullible.

The last time when she saw him, he did flirt a bit with her but that part got covered by her worries. As Lith left, she thought that she may have been too harsh on him and went into a spiral of overthinking things. Thus, Lith’s attempt at flirting got covered and she didn’t recall it when she met him today.

Of course, she was an Emperor rank with a sharp memory. She hardly forgets about anything. But, the less important things get covered by the more important ones and she may not recall them unless she was reminded about it or hinted about it. Lith was thus safe now and his impression hadn’t degraded.

Emilia, noticing Lith’s interest in angels, felt happy knowing that even though he was from the Vampire race—one totally opposite to theirs; he still was interested in knowing more about them.

She was an angel, a race wherein everyone’s thoughts were much simpler, pure, and on the innocent side, as compared to the average person globally. Emilia was an Emperor Rank, she didn’t have the same thoughts as the rest from her race, however, she thought of Lith as just a small kid and thus had no guards against him.

What can a small child like him even think of? She wouldn’t really have a scheming and devious brain like those demons, would he? He doesn’t even know much about the world. Such was an impression of Lith for her.

Emilia asked Lith with a smile, “sure. Ask anything you would like.”

Lith nodded his head and asked, “can you tell me a bit about the hierarchy of the Angels? It seems a bit complicated to me.”

Emilia nodded and answered, “many are confused about it outside of the Angel Continent. But, it’s not really that difficult to remember. The Angels that are Rank 1 up until rank 5, are normal Angels. They could just be called Angels and their body does not undergo any change to have themselves be called with some other t.i.tle.

From Rank 6 up until 8, the Angels go through a change, what change you might ask, I’ll answer you sometime later since that would mean going much deeper into the talks, so I’ll refrain from speaking about it. Anyway, the Angels go through a change and ascend into Archangels. So any angel that you see if Rank 6 to 9, is an Archangel and you can call them that.

At Half Saint Rank, the angels undergo another change and are much more powerful than anyone from Rank 6 to 9. They ascend from being Archangels to becoming Princ.i.p.alities.

Saint Rank angels ascend from Princ.i.p.alities to Power; Half King Rank from Powers to Virtues; King Rank from Dominions to Thrones; Half Emperor Rank, Thrones to Cherubim and lastly, Emperor Rank angels ascend from being Cherubim to being a Seraphim.

Above all of the hierarchy is the King of Angels, also called Angel King or the Heavenly Emperor by many. He is also wors.h.i.+pped as a G.o.d by many angels in the light church.

Anything else you would like to know apart from this?”

‘Anything else? Lady this is too much information!’ Lith thought to himself. All he hoped for was a simple conversation with the beautiful princ.i.p.al in front of him, but instead, what he got was a long lecture on angels from her.

He cursed himself for asking such a stupid question, but now the boat has sailed and he would need to continue this, or the conversation would end and the atmosphere would become awkward once again.

Lith didn’t show any of such emotions on his face, even though he was thinking of so many things. He nodded hearing her explanation and then said to her with a smile,

“I understand. It’s much easier to understand and know. I was confused before, but now everything is cleared. Thank you, Miss Emilia.”

“No problem.” Emilia smiled back and responded.

“Hmm, Miss Emilia, can you tell me a bit about the Angel Continent then?” Lith said, trying to make the conversation flow.

Emilia nodded her head and began explaining to him about the Angel Continent.
