4.08% Magic System in a Parallel World / Chapter 10: Vampire

Kapitel 10: Vampire

"Can you lift your shirt up?" Nina asked him shortly after he agreed to let her inspect his body.

Leo took a deep breath and released it before lifting his shirt halfway, revealing his pristine six-pack abs.

Nina swallowed nervously and said, "A-A little higher. Lift it above your chest."

Leo didn't say anything and lifted his shirt until his entire body was exposed.

Nina placed her hand on his chest, where his heart was located. She closed her eyes and began inspecting Leo's body with some unknown magic.

Lilith watched Nina's every movement just in case she planned on doing something funny to Leo's body.

'There's nothing wrong with his heart…'

'His blood also appears to be healthy…'

'There's a hint of black magic in his body, but nothing that suggests he was resurrected from the dead. The mana is too weak.'

Half a minute later, Nina removed her hand from his body and mumbled in a dumbfounded voice, "You're not a reanimated corpse…"

Leo immediately pulled his shirt back down and said, "Thanks, captain obvious. I told you that I wasn't resurrected from the dead, but you don't want to believe me."

"Why do you even care if I am a reanimated corpse or not?" He then asked.

"Necromancy is my specialty. It's only natural that I would be interested in someone who supposedly came back from the dead." Nina said.

"Anyways, I was wrong about you. Goodbye."

Nina turned around and disappeared into the shadow shortly after.

"Unbelievable… She didn't even bother apologizing!" Leo muttered in a dumbfounded voice.

"At least her personality matches the rumors." Lilith chuckled.

Leo shook his head and continued to make his way back to the dorm.

Meanwhile, after her inspection on Leo, Nina Wraith returned to the main school building and went straight to the infirmary.

Despite the lights being turned off inside the infirmary, Nina opened the door that should've been locked after school hours and entered the room.

Inside the infirmary, Nina could see a tall and mature figure standing by the window.

"I have inspected Leo's body just like you'd asked, Miss Camille." Nina said after closing the door behind her.

"Thank you. I could only rely on you since you're the only person in this school who can tell if someone is an animated corpse. What were the results?"

"Before I tell you the results, do you remember our agreement? I didn't do this out of charity."

"Of course. I have it here with me." Miss Camille showed Nina the item in her hand.

"Necklace of the Dead. It's a B-Grade magic artifact that boosts all necromancy magic. Tell me the result and it's yours."

Nina took a deep breath and spoke, "Leo's not a reanimated corpse. His body is perfectly alive."

"Are you sure?" Miss Camille frowned slightly.

"One hundred percent. However, there was a slight discrepancy in his body."

"What is it?"

"There were traces of dark magic inside his body, so he either used dark magic recently or he'd been struck by dark magic. With that being said, the amount of mana in his body could not be the result of resurrection magic, so you don't have to worry about that."

Miss Camille pondered Nina's intel.

'Traces of dark magic… Could it be caused by the test earlier today? It would make sense since he has a Magic Affinity for dark magic.'

"Do you have anything else?" Miss Camille asked a moment later.

"No, that's all the information I have."

Miss Camille narrowed her eyes on Nina.

"If I find out that you're lying to me or withheld intel, I will come back for you, do you understand?"

Nina showed a cold smile on her delicate face, "Aren't you forgetting another thing? That I am not allowed to tell anyone about our agreement?"

Miss Camille snorted before tossing the Necklace of the Dead into the air towards Nina's direction.

Nina quickly went to catch the magic artifact.

"Hey! That was dangerous—"

Nina tried to complain, but like a ghost, Miss Camille suddenly disappeared from the room.

'Leo, huh? Why does she care so much about him? To think she'd be willing to part with a B-Grade magic artifact just to confirm that he's not a reanimated corpse… How surprising.' Nina did not linger around the infirmary and left shortly after.

Back at the old dorm, Leo laid on his bed and prepared to go to sleep.

'What if I wake up and find myself back in my old world tomorrow? What if this is all just a really long dream?' He couldn't help but have these thoughts.

Despite only being in this world for less than a day, he was already getting fond of it.

"By the way, I really hope you're not going to watch me sleep for the entire night." Leo looked at Lilith, who was hovering directly above him and staring at his face.

"Why not? You're pretty handsome for a human and just my type," she said in a teasing voice.

"For a human?" Leo raised an eyebrow.

"Why are you talking as if you're not a human? I mean, you're a ghost right now, but you're technically still human, right?"

However, Lilith didn't respond to him, as she was too busy staring at him with wide eyes.

"You're not aware?" She asked him after a moment of silence.

"Aware of what?"

Then Lilith realized something and mumbled, "Oh, right. You're from another world, and vampires don't exist in that world."

"Huh? Vampire?"

When Lilith mentioned vampires, Leo suddenly recalled what Miss Camille had told him earlier today.

'Vampires look exactly like humans, but they have white hair and red eyes.'

"Y-You're a vampire?"

Because Lilith resembled a human so much, whether it be her appearance or attitude, he subconsciously treated her as a fellow human despite her unique features.

Lilith nodded with a prideful smile, "That's right. I'm a vampire. But to think that you weren't aware of it until now."

"Miss Camille told me, but I kind of forgot…" Leo scratched his head.

"Forgot? Even though your memory is amazing enough to instantly memorize magic spells? I don't believe it."

"Even if I have perfect memory, it is inevitable that I will forget some minor things! I have also been thinking about a lot of things today, so my head is a little overwhelmed at this moment."

"Is that so?"

Lilith proceeded to stare at his face in silence and with a pondering expression.

"What is it?" Leo decided to ask her.

"Now that you know I am a vampire… Are you scared of me? Do you hate me? Are you going to stop being friends with me?" She asked him with a worried look in her gaze.

Leo pondered for a moment before speaking, "After hearing about you guys from Miss Camille, I thought vampires would be much scarier. In any case, I am not scared of you. Even if you may be a vampire, in my eyes, you're just a perverted ghost who enjoys peeking at people in the shower. Hell, even Nina Wraith, who looks like a child, is scarier than you."

Lilith couldn't help but smile after hearing Leo's words, and she spoke, "Once again, I am not a ghost!"

"Whatever. I'm going to sleep." Leo said after yawning.

He closed his eyes and tucked himself comfortably in bed the very next moment.

"Good night, Leo."

"Night."

Leo quickly fell asleep within seconds due to how exhausted he was.

As for Lilith, she would go on to spend the entire night silently staring at Leo's sleeping face with a gentle smile on her face.

'I wonder if he would be able to say the same words just now if he knew my true identity…' She sighed inwardly.


Kapitel 11: Magic Artifact

Leo woke up the following morning with aching pain all over his body, especially around the shoulder and arms.

"Good morning, Leo." Lilith greeted him the moment he opened his eyes.

"Ah… I haven't been this sore since I first started working out…" He mumbled in a painful voice.

"It might hurt, but if you don't wake up soon, you will be late for school." Lilith said.

"What? What time is it right now?"

"Seven on the dot."

Leo sighed. After spending a few seconds to resolve himself, he got off the bed and went to wash his face.

Five minutes later, he got dressed and left the dorm.

"Did you know that you like to sleep talk?" Lilith suddenly asked him as he made his way towards his homeroom.

"Really? What was I saying?" Leo was curious.

"You were dreaming about using magic, right? You were shouting 'Black Bullet!' and 'Black Flame!' out loud throughout the whole night." Lilith chuckled at him.

Sometime later, Leo arrived at his classroom three minutes before homeroom started.

"Good morning, Leo!" His classmates greeted him with bright smiles the moment he walked through the door.

"Good morning, everybody." Leo greeted them back with a stiff smile, which felt really awkward since he's never had to return his classmates' greetings in his old world.

"Did you sleep well last night, Leo?" One of the students asked him.

"Yes, I slept like a log." He nodded.

"Good for you. I know I won't be able to sleep properly knowing that I will be fighting Kayn in a month."

'Damn it, why must you bring up such an unpleasant topic so early in the morning?' Leo cried inwardly.

"You're fighting Kayn in a month? What a surprise. You don't strike me as the fighting type." Lilith said after hearing about his challenge with Kayn for the first time.

"I know you're talented, but even with your talent, you'll need to practice hard if you want to defeat someone like Kayn in a month. He's someone with over 15 years of experience with magic and combat while you just started yesterday."

"I had no choice. I will have to fight him whether I accept his challenge or not. The only difference is when I have to fight him. If I refused, he would've fought me there and then." Leo sighed in a low voice.

"Don't worry. As long as you have me as your teacher, you will be able to defeat Kayn in a month!" Lilith said in a confident manner.

'Even though you're teaching me magic and I cannot use magic in public?' Leo shook his head inwardly.

After homeroom, Professor Jasmine started their first class.

"Leo, can you solve this?" Jasmine picked Leo for their first question of the day.

"I can."

Leo stood up and walked to the board.

He returned to his seat a few moments later after leaving behind a perfect answer on the board.

'As I thought… His performance yesterday wasn't just a fluke! He's somehow turned smart!' Jasmine cheered inside her heart.

Despite not being smart in class before, Leo still managed to become her favorite student. Now that he's smart, her impression of him increased several folds!

Time passed very quickly, and before Leo realized, it was already time to go home.

"The weekend starts tomorrow. If you're planning on leaving the school premises, make sure to notify the school and check out at the school entrance. Have fun." Jasmine said to the students before leaving the classroom.

"What are you going to do for the weekends, Leo?" The students asked him.

"You wanna hang out? I know a great place near our academy."

"Sorry, but I already have plans with Miss Camille." Leo said to them with an apologetic smile.

"Huh? The school nurse? Why?"

"She's in charge of my recovery," Leo gave them a random but understandable excuse.

"And I also have to prepare for my fight with Kayn."

"I see… Then we'll bother you another time. Good luck, Leo!" The students no longer bothered him.

Leo did not linger in the classroom and immediately headed for the training center, where Miss Camille was waiting.

"How do you feel?" Miss Camille asked him.

"Sore."

"Good. That means you're growing."

Leo followed her to a private training room shortly after.

"Since we trained your upper body yesterday, we'll train your lower body today. I want you to sprint around the room until you cannot lift your legs anymore. This will help you quickly gain more endurance."

"I understand." Leo said without complaining.

"Before you start, wear these around your wrists and ankles."

Miss Camille handed him four metallic green bracelets.

"What are these?" He asked.

"They're F-Grade magic artifacts that will boost your endurance and stamina, allowing you to train for longer."

"Isn't this cheating? I am artificially boosting my stamina, after all."

"No, it's not. It's a hassle explaining it, so I won't bother. However, I will say that this is a very common training method used by everyone that can afford these artifacts."

"How much do they cost?" Leo asked out of curiosity.

"20,000 dollars each." Miss Camille casually said.

"What?! So I am going to train with 80,000 dollars on me?! If I trip and accidentally break them during training, you better not expect me to pay for them!"

"I won't. The school has plenty of them, anyways."

"That's not the issue here…" Leo sighed.

As someone who was born in a common household, 80,000 dollars is a huge amount of money that would take him years of working and saving to collect, yet he will be wearing equipment worth that much just for training. It was simply incomprehensible.

"If you don't want to use them and make things harder on yourself, by all means." Miss Camille said as she gestured for him to return the artifacts.

"W-Who said anything about not using them?" Leo quickly wore all four artifacts, one on each limb, and he started running laps around the room at full speed.

An hour later, Leo was surprised to see that he was still running without running out of breath.

Normally, he would run out of breath after a few minutes of sprinting at his full speed, yet he was able to run an entire hour without much trouble.

'These magic artifacts are amazing! I feel like I can run around the world as long as I have them on me!' Leo became even more motivated to train with these new toys.

After sprinting for another two hours, Leo finally collapsed on the floor when he exhausted all of his stamina.

"Three hours, huh? Not bad for your first time." Miss Camille approached him.

She proceeded to retrieve something from her spatial storage and placed it on the floor before Leo.

"What is this?" He asked her after seeing the item, which was a clear glass bottle with about three ounces of green liquid inside.

"It's a stamina potion. It will increase your stamina recovery rate. You should be back to full energy in 15 minutes after drinking it." Miss Camille explained.

"My god! This world is amazing! No wonder why everyone is so strong! As long as I have this stamina potion, I can train all day and not run out of energy!"

However, Miss Camille shook her head and said, "Your body is too weak right now, so you'll only be able to drink one of these every 12 hours."

"Even so, that's still three extra hours of work out every day!" Leo immediately drank the stamina potion and waited for his stamina to recover.

Fifteen minutes later, he was back to running laps around the room for another three hours.

Meanwhile, Miss Camille resumed reading her book near the door while she waited for him to finish.
