Chapter 964: 16.10 First Red Star - Genus Academy
The spectacle of those eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with feelings left the Progenitor of the Vampires speechless. He had never seen eyes like this before. Gentle and loving, as if he is the most precious person in the world. He had lived for a very long time, and the eyes he had grown accustomed to were ones that were filled with mistrust and fear.
Even when he utilized his power to save or a.s.sist people, they were utterly terrified of it. They believed that because he is different from them, he will always put them at risk. the potential for death. He didn't understand his full power in this world until he could kill millions of people with a single wave of his hands. Only G.o.d possesses this power, which terrorizes those who are lesser than him.
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia became accustomed to it with time. Being duped, taken advantage of, respected, and feared, he had gotten used to it. Because of how repulsive their eyes were, he decided to live alone in the forbidden forest where he would almost never encounter a living person.
He just did the vampire race a favor by producing a vampire from his blood. The Fenrir Tribe, which is comprised of the Werewolf Race, happens to be involved in this favor. They begged him to do them a favor and slay the Werewolf Ancestor. Ca.s.sius Ambrosia first believed these men to be idiots. What evidence is there that the Werewolf's Ancestor actually existed?
But seems that this Werewolf Ancestor does exist. He and he are quite similar. The mutt's strength can easily rival his, despite the fact that he didn't have perpetual life like he has.
In the end, he decided to make a concession, saying that this favor would be the last and that they couldn't ask him for anything again.
But who would have thought that by the time he arrived at the specified place, a sick and frail wolf would have unexpectedly succ.u.mbed to poison? It appears that he had been targeted by another party. For some while, he stood in the darkness and watched as the dying wolf ancestor took his last breath. It appears that he was unable to withstand time like the others.
Then, just as he was about to leave, he abruptly heard heartbeats in the surrounding area. He is a vampire so his heart was frozen and wouldn't beat unless he did it. It just indicated that the deceased wolf who breathed his last may be the source of the pulse. Under the influence of Ca.s.sius Ambrosia, he awoke.
He murdered the werewolf King and personally pulled out his heart as a result. However, who would have imagined that the wolf ancestor would evolve after pa.s.sing away? He is no longer under the celestial rules' supervision of a confined aura. Instead, he was free and in complete command of himself. Yes, like him. An absolute that not even the world can move.
He attempted to murder him a couple more times, but each time, he survived. It was odd because whenever Fenrir Skoll was revived, the imprint on his lower left eye would twitch as if it were alive. The relations.h.i.+p between the crest and Fenrir Skoll's limitless Resurrection was unknown to Ca.s.sius Ambrosia.
He didn't sure how to react, therefore he felt awkward when Fenrir Skoll publicly declared his love for him. All he can do is turn a blind eye to it and pretend he didn't see anything.
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia abruptly stood up causing Fenrir Skoll who was leaning on him almost fell and looked at the former with a bewildered look.
The Progenitor spoke, "Prepare to leave. In Genus Academy, not only all students are required to live in dormitories but also the teachers."
"Can I live with you? I won't take so many places. I can turn into a puppy." Fenrir Skoll said.
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia was hesitant as he didn't know how to explain a wolf being in his care if the Fenrir Tribe learned about it.
Fenrir Skoll noticed his thoughts and said, "Don't worry. The Werewolf race doesn't have the ability to read aura so they wouldn't know it was me. In the form of a puppy, they wouldn't notice that I am a wolf."
"Do as you want." Ca.s.sius Ambrosia gave up and let Fenrir Skoll do whatever he was planning to do.
The Wolf Ancestor is extremely happy that he didn't need to be separated from his wife and has been in a mood the whole time.

After the three-month vacation period is over. The Genus Academy has now reopened.
The primary building of the inst.i.tution, which is enormous, is the biggest. To the south, east, and west are three structures that resemble dormitories. The entire s.p.a.ce is covered in greenery, and a barrier prevents direct sunlight from entering. Instead, another kind of illumination is there. This border barrier served as a sufficient wall to thwart both internal and external attacks in addition to sunlight.
The school buildings' architecture was inspired by ancient cultures. Large chandeliers were installed in the ceilings, and the majority of the interior s.p.a.ces were carpeted. The walls were created not with normal cement but with a touch of jade. Everywhere you look, you can find some beautiful antiques. from sculptures to vases to paintings, etc.
In the academy, there are three dorms. The human population will reside in the south dormitory. Additionally, it is the one closest to the main school building. The mountainous area contains the East Territory. This is where werewolf students are supposed to live.
The forest is in the west. Students who are vampires are required to dwell in this building. There are also a few detached homes in the area, but these are reserved for the elders and instructors of each race.
The number of students from each race admitted to the school was unlimited, but only three seniors or adults from that race were authorized to supervise the stay of their people. Yes, of course! They are not allowed to stir any trouble, encouraging conflict between races and hutting the other student. Punishment would ensue for failing to comply. Execution is the most severe penalty.
The headmaster of the Genus School was rumored to be a very strong man. If he chooses, he is capable of retaliating against all three races. He is a shadowy character who does not support any one group. n.o.body is aware of the race he belongs to. But it was said that he is an extremely beautiful man that made females and males fall for him at first sight.
He is also adored by certain human teachers. However, this semester the enigmatic headmaster had a companion. A man who is one head higher than the headmistress was there. Although he exudes an air of aloofness and indifference, his muscle definition was sufficient to convey his strength, and the smile on his face made him appear approachable.
This guy has black eyes that are clear yet appear to have flashes of light in them, along with short obsidian hair that looks like black silk from a distance. Anyone who looks into his eyes cannot help but feel drawn into his gaze.
Then the Headmaster introduced the individual that came with him to all the teachers in the academy. He introduced him to his family bearing his surname.
In the briefing room, Ca.s.sius Ambrosia, who is posing as a human, a.s.sembled all the other instructors. There were several werewolves and vampires among the human professors as well. However, they were mixed blood rather than pure blood. They were expelled from their own tribes or clans and had human blood on them, in other words.
The headmaster spoke, "Welcome back to Genus. I guess everyone here had enjoyed their vacations enough. This is a new Semester so there would be new students joining us. Before we continue the meeting let me introduce you to a new teacher. His name is Skoll Ambrosia, he is my relative. Just his strength alone is enough to be useful in this place."
"Well he wouldn't be teaching directly, but conflicts between students of different races cannot be avoided. If there are situations you can't handle you can find him. Let him handle the rest."
Teachers who were dhampir and half-werewolves spoke up. They are unable to detect anything special emanating from this Skoll Ambrosia man. They experience nothing at all.
He didn't even have the headmaster's oppressive strain. He couldn't feel him at all, yet it seemed as though he was there. As if he is a mirage himself.
The half-werewolf spoke, "Is he as strong as you, headmaster?"
"Yes. I can't kill him no matter how many times I try."This b.a.s.t.a.r.d gets resurrected no matter how many times I kill him after all.
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia saw Fenrir Skoll staring at him and knew what he wanted to do and nodded his head in agreement.
He said to Fenrir Skoll, "Don't kill any of them."
"I won't. I promise."
Everyone in the room was confused after hearing the brief conversation between the headmaster and Skoll, especially those who thought Skoll wasn't a powerful person.
Fenrir Skoll spoke while staring at the half-werewolf teacher. "Cub, you should learn to feel the difference in strength by instinct. Or you wouldn't know how you died~"
The man who was standing next to the headmaster had vanished in front of their eyes. The half-werewolf was the one who abruptly froze as he felt a hand land on one of his shoulders, leaving everyone in a state of shock. The hand's application of force is gentle, yet he can feel a stout, bloodthirsty presence approaching from behind him.
"See~ I'm right, aren't I?"
Cold sweats trickle down his face and his body. He didn't dare to move as if doing so wouldn't mean death. The dhampir next to him had begun to tremble, and he was unable to control his change into a swarm of bats. The other half of his body remained paralyzed in dread as just half of his body changed into bats.
From behind every instructor, Fenrir Skoll's joyful voice echoes, making them feel as though they've been drenched in icy water. Fenrir Skoll arrived behind them, but n.o.body noticed.
"S-So fast... I didn't even see anything!"
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia spoke, "Skoll, don't scare the children."
The two treated everyone in this world as a child because compared to them. Who lives for eternity those who were G.o.ds are children in their eyes.
Fenrir Skoll raised his hand and said, "I didn't even do much~ you guys continue to talk I get to prepare your snacks." He went out of the room leaving the rest in silence. Only Ca.s.sius Ambrosia's helpless sigh can be heard inside the room.
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia said, "Take a seat. Let's continue the meeting."
"Headmaster, what is he?" the half-werewolf asked.
The face of the headmaster turned expressionless and cold. "It is supposed to be forbidden to ask about someone's background in Genus."
"I'm sorry, Headmaster."
"Don't do it again. Continue the meeting."
Fenrir Skoll wanders around the campus seeking a spot to plant flowers for his wife's snacks while the instructors' conference is still going on. He unintentionally noticed a chapel with open doors while wandering around the school's grounds. He had a pa.s.sing interest in churches.
System Yue spoke, [Milord! There's a small greenhouse behind this church. It was abandoned but it can be repaired.]
[There is someone in that church. Isn't this place supposed to be abandoned?] System Yang said.
From a distance, Fenrir Skoll studied the church and noted that despite the walls appearing to be old, they appear to have been well-maintained. maintained using physical work rather than specialized methods like formation. Only people are capable of performing manual labor on our planet.
System Yue asked, [Are you going inside, my lord?]
Fenrir Skoll said, "This place is hidden. Since there is a greenhouse then... this place should be enough."
He didn't hesitate as he headed in the direction of the church. Apart from his wife, he has no reason to be afraid of anything. Fenrir Skoll does not care if there is danger or not. Providing he receives what he desires.
