Ancestral Lineage

Chapter 76 Back To School...

Ring! Ring!

"Hello honey. You finally called."

"Mom. How are you?"

"I'm very fine. I'm gradually recovering."

"I'm glad. I missed and decided to check up on you."

"Thanks for that my love. Is something bothering by the way?"

"Why?"

"You sound like there's a lot on your mind. Is something wrong?"

"Actually there is. I've broken through to the next level but on that same day, Trevor also broke through and later we all evolved into vampires. It is strange and I also feel some strange connection with him."

"Oh, so it finally happened. Then I guess I can't hide it any longer."

"Huh?"

"This isn't a conversation we will have on phone. Find time and come home with Trevor in the weekends. I will let you in on everything there is to know, okay?"

"Okay. Thanks mom."

"Anything for you. By the way, Harley is with you right?"

"Yeah. She came the other day."

"So you finally did it."

"W-What do you mean?"

"Don't try to lie son. I heard everything you guys whispered to each other. I've got a powerful hearing."

"I-I..."

"Don't worry. Hahaha! I can already imagine the expression on your face."

"Come on mom... don't tease me."

"I haven't teased you like this before for 18 years, can't you give your old woman some slack?"

"..."

"By the way, you already have a fiancee."

"What?! Who?!"

"Guess. I won't tell you. When the time is right, she will come to you. Just a word of advice, love all your women unconditionally."

"Where's this even coming from?"

"You will know soon. So my baby is now an Advanced level mage?"

"Yeah pretty much."

"Then we should have a spar. What of this, we will have one when you come to visit."

"But your condition..."

"Are you looking down on me boy?"

"Can you even fight?"

"The academy is always magnificent no matter how many times I see it!"

"Yeah! It's so cool!"

"Will we get to see the new Tyrant?"

"Of course dummy. He will come."

"I hope he doesn't have a girl yet..."

"Are you stupid?"

"Like hell he will fall you!"

"I can't wait to feast my eyes upon our campus belles. I miss them already!"

"Now that you say, I heard that the Ethan and Trevor are in a relationship with both of them."

"No way! It can't be possible right?"

"I'm not really surprised if it's true. Ethan is already the strongest in our year batch and Trevor has always been the strongest unawakened in our year batch and now that he's awakened, I guess it's not that surprising."

"What the hell is with those spectacles?!"

"I've always wore spectacles."

"You also dyed your hair red? What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Dude it's just your imagination."

"The hell is my imagination... wait. Are those contacts?"

"Fuck off!"

The academy was sure bustling with conversations here and there. It seems everyone was eager to come to school with one or two reasons. As the conversations reached the peak, a loud honk sounded. Turning towards the sound, the students, staff whoever was around watched with slacked jaws at the beautiful Terra Edge that had parked in the students' parking area. As if the shock wasn't enough, the people in the car started getting out giving them another round of shock. First a purple haired guy with a tall and muscular build got out with a calm almost cold face in his beautiful Tyrant uniform, Lamair Griswold. He was very handsome that some of the girls started blushing, but their shock was about to turn more shocking.

After Lamair, a brown-haired girl also got out, with a beauty that caused everyone to go silent. It was one of the campus belles! Her usually cold face with a tinge of joy, courtesy of the small smile that adorned her face.

Right after her, their other campus belle also got out of the car, her silvery blond hair tied in a beautiful French braid and her blue eye glowing happily. Her beauty didn't lose to Emily. As everyone continued to stare at them in stunned silence, two almost similar looking guys hopped out. One with red hair and the other with white hair. Their skin was slightly pale with slightly elongated and sharp ears and piercing eyes. Their devilishly handsome face causing some girls to fall down in shock, huge smiles on their faces. Even some guys felt their faces turn red from infatuation and embarrassment. They were too handsome, no beautiful!

One was a bit taller than the other as usual but this time, everyone who saw them was shocked to the core. Those guys were humans about a month or so ago, but their appearance now was something vastly different. The vampires among them felt some familiarity but that was all. They couldn't pinpoint the actual race of the two at all.

Actually, they could have but the issue was, the appearance they were seeing was the base form of the Blood Primogenitors. The base form of the Blood Primogenitors as the system explained was more like a human who was learning to control the dark affinity or "magic" known as Blood. They have slightly pale skin and look almost elf-like but that was all. In this form, unless it is another Primogenitor being or the privileged Vampire Progenitor, no one would be able to identify them. They had also turned off the vampire protection formation installed in their uniform to fulfil one of the requirements. Ethan was actively using his aura skills and a bit of telepathic skills he'd learnt, thanks to his high willpower to convince the others into believing that they were fine but on the contrary, they were sweating rivers with reddened eyes and almost red skins. They were literally burning alive, but they grit their teeth.

As they made their way, rather quickly towards the assembly hall for the opening ceremony, something happened. It caught not only their attention but everyone else.

...

She was a beautiful elf no doubt. Andriel had been told this a number of times that she was so used to it but right in front of her, 8 meters away were a group of beautiful people, especially the red-haired one in spectacles who caught her attention by just appearing. He was tall, tall for his assumed age at Class 2 which should be 18, at most 19. He had this certain charm about him that drew her in and made hyperventilate a bit and his aura. Just by looking at him, she figured out he was using a skill or ability she couldn't recognize plus a simple Telepathy skill of partial mind control making her wonder just who he was. Moreover, his uniform also gave his position in the school away, a Tyrant. The so-called strongest students in the school based on the affinities they used. Just in that moment that she saw him, she was making plans to get close to him that she failed to notice when he closed in on her.

"Cough! Miss? Hello? Are you alright?" Ethan said while waving his hand in front of this silver haired elf girl with mesmerizing violet eyes who looked she'd seen a ghost or something. Like she was red in the face and almost suffocating, although he knew the cause. He was seeing it on his system at the moment-petrification+infatuation, the power of his 10-point charm at work. He was sure after this whole ordeal was over, he would get some more points in.

"Errm... hello!" Ethan raised his voice slightly this time, adding a bit of his intent to it.

"What?! You!!! What do you want?!" the elf girl literally flew back.

"Where was the grace and poise, I was seeing just now?" Ethan asked back with a raised eyebrow.

"What..."

"You almost killed yourself there. You should do breathing exercises a lot now, you know, the usual breath-in, breath-out techniques. It well help. I'm Ethan by the way and you are blocking the way." Ethan said in one breath. He wanted to mess with this clearly new student but the piercing gaze on his back was burning more than the sun above him. He was too young to die!

"What? Um... I'm also Andriel." Andriel replied, blushing like she had more blood to spare.

"Nice to meet you, miss Andriel now if you will excuse us..." Ethan said while walking past her, his scent wafting into her nose causing her to blush again. As Andriel gazed upon his back amidst his little sea of beautiful and handsome friends or probably, a lover, the only thought she had was, "I must get him! I will surely get him even if I have to play dirty! He's the one!"

It was clear. She had fallen deep at first sight and Ethan was in for a hell of a ride which will test his willpower to the limits.
