3rd person POV
Anthony gave a paper to Craig and Emma that he received from the admins or known to him, the gods, a paper and 2 ID cards to excuse themselves from class for the Silvers who are apparently receiving special lessons from individuals who shall not be named in the toughest private training ground of the school.
It's a weird instruction that the directors received but the best guess is the one of the gods is teaching the named themselves, Diana had her talent wasted here and Perseus will be the same, the directors are not qualified to teach him either since he's much stronger than all of them combined. So this all made sense and they know not to question the 13 gods.
"It's Perseus, what's stopping him from using the ID card and not only escape my class but skip the school entirely by not attending that so called private and important class with a teacher whose Identity is unknown?" Craig asked "I mean, he's a ranked, what if he just meet with the gods and asked them for a favor."
"It's all about faith, my dear Craig." Anthony replied "If you gamble, you're placing your money on the side you have faith on winning."
"Sir, I know you like gambling, but are you really willing to gamble a student's future?"
"Well it's not like we can do anything anyways." Anthony shrugged "Besides, I just wanted to say cool things to stay relevant with the youths."
"Youths won't speak like that, but I'll be sure to excuse him if necessary. But sir, why is our class also getting a study trip to the world of the vampire race? It's a bit sudden."
"It's because the royals have sponsored it and the reason for doing so was because they are curious about the sole living dhampir, they want to see him and we have no reason to refuse either, but the announcement have already reached the first years, having them just stay at the dorms all the time should be boring, so this trip is for a good cause."

"Is that my hoodie?" I asked
"Yeah, it's kinda obvious, it's incredibly comfortable and cozy and I also got it for free." Emma replied as we went through inspection into the world if the vampire race.
No fricking guilt at all, can you believe this woman? Anyway, it seems that by my clan accepting the quest to come help the investigation of the heart ripper, the royal family sponsored several classes a first class study trip similar to when we visited the world of the nature spirits to learn about different jobs and train from professionals.
My clan and the class are sleeping in the same 5 star hotel, the ones where my clan own in the vampire world and we got a lot of money just to house my class and several others. But as a clan member, I got a personal suite with a free buffet breakfast with huge discounts on lunch and dinner.
We're allowed casual wear this time as long as we wear our school IDs, so we still can't act stupid, at least my classmates are getting attention from fans of the academy young raiders so we do have some paparazzi camping outside the hotel to get some articles on both the students and the clan since information leaked from the vampire royals side that they requested us for collaboration with the vampire investigative workforce to find and stop the heart ripper.
And even more media attention for me, unnecessary even.
'The Dhampir have come to seek his rightful birth place.'
'The legendary dhampir in the vampire world.'
'What people know about the sole living dhampir.'
We got several more clickbait and annoying titles but it seems like I'm a legend here. Even as we checked in, I can notice the nervousness of the employees, they feel in awe of me and are scared of offending me which saddens me a bit since I thought people love good looking guys.
I mean, I even got 0 modelling offers, which I'm just saying, slightly offended, they just reuse the poster pictures of my clan.
We met back at the lobby and I just feel pity for the security team doubling down on the inspection into the hotel, at least they're getting paid extra. I'm just on my phone reading the articles distributing fake facts about me as I drink a chocolate milkshake.
"They're staring at you." Lia commented "It is shocking I guess to see a vampire willingly consume things like that and not throw it out, being a dhampir sure is annoying."
"I know right, first I find out my ex stole my hoodie and now annoying media attention, do we really have to go eat out with students at a raider prep school?"
"Yes." Emma answered as she sat next to me "Even though people are chosen as raiders, some still are hesitant about it, you studied a semester, should be enough to share your experiences and those students can decide whether to pursue the same career or become something like the Lagunas."
"I'm curious, when did you take that hoodie?"
"Can't remember." she shrugged "Do you want it back?"
"Nah, I think it's funny to imagine you smelling my jacket cuz you miss me so much."
"I still can't believe that you moved onto the queen, not gonna lie, that was a very bold move."
"I know right, can't believe that Valentina liked me either, I guess I just give off the charm."
3rd person POV
One person bought a newspaper from a nearby convenience store and see Perseus' face on it, there is then a smile plastered on his face, showing this sharp teeth, it was a flesh eater, a ghoul.
He got home to an apartment and he opened his fridge to show several heart stored in it where he then took one out and put it on a plate as he then get his cutlery.
"I wonder what our heart taste like." the person giggled to himself as he read the paper while eating the heart cold "A dhampir...I've never tasted one of you before, while I have the chance...to make you a part of me...no taste would compare...HAHAHAHA.
