Bab 85: Interview for Care of Magical Creatures
The vampire lord walked through the wooden door of the interview chamber and into a large circular room. The room was magically enlarged as it was impossible for such a room to be so large, as it was used as a side room of the great hall.
Inside the room was a group of wizards wearing expensive dress robes and held pompous attitudes. These were the board of governors and Kai recognized one of them. He and Lucius Malfoy locked eyes for a brief moment as the wizard understood what he was to do.
There were 12 wizards standing above the vampire lord and his familiar. Kai recognized that they all were from pureblood families. He mentally grimaced in annoyance and looked at them all coldly, easily displaying his immense aura of authority to the board members, successfully gaining the higher position in the minor battle of wills. This would allow him to dictate how the beginning of the interview would start.
The room was constructed in a way that would cause the person standing at the bottom to feel inferior and judge his mental capacity and will. At least that was the official reason, the true reason was that most of the board of directors were made up of purebloods. They were wizards that discriminated against all that weren't purebloods themselves and they would do so with pride.
When Kai first realised this when he was still new to the world of magic, he was disgusted with the deep discrimination and prejudice that festered in the wizarding world. But later he came to understand that he wouldn't be able to stop the deep-seated prejudice that ran through the wizarding world. It was essentially built on the basis that wizards were superior to every other living creature, be they muggles, intelligent magical beings or magical creatures.
He had settled on showing the elite blood purist community (the members of the wizengamot) that he was their better and therefore would have to respect him. If they didn't, well… they would have to learn why they were below him. Kai wouldn't do this to all wizards only the ones that believed that they were above others.
As he stood before them, the board looked at Lucius who was still the chairman of the governors and urged him to start the interview. Most of the men were feeling threatened by Kai's otherworldly looks and the women wanted to get the interview out of the way so they could talk to him in "private."
Lucius coughed to get the governors attention and began the interview. "Please state your name and which position you wish to receive."
"My name is Kai Darcone, I wish to receive the position of professor for the subject of care of magical creatures," the vampire lord answered without hesitation.
"Have you got any important feats or endeavours that you would like to mention?" Lucius asked. This was the actual deciding factor that the governors' wanted to hear from the participants. They could ask you however questions they wanted but this was question was the one that actually made any difference.
Take for example Quirrell, Moody or Lockhart. All of them had a good reputation and lots of fame. Quirrell was known for his work with trolls, Lockhart was an accomplished author who had done may "feats" and Moody was known as one of the best Aurors of his time.
It didn't matter if they weren't good teachers as long as they were famous and had a great and well-known reputation. This was what Kai had foreseen and had gotten Tom to give him an identity that had many accomplishments and had ties with many "people in high places."
"In fact, I do I am a 10 star combatant of the Dark Lords' Court." Kai let that comment sink in. Unlike most people, almost everybody in the room was either a member of the Dark Lords' Court or had ties to the organization. It was natural that they had a connection otherwise they would fail in business and advancements, which was crucial in their high-class society.
All the people in the room knew how high a 10-star combatant was. The only high ranking member that the public knew off was the Infernal Lord who was also the only known Lord in the Court. However, the ancient pure-blooded families with ties to the ministry and the Court knew that there were other Lords that had their identity's hidden.
Below them were the 10-star members, there had never been any 10-star members in public and they were kept hidden to the levels of the utmost secrecy. This was the first time that the wizards in the room had ever met a 10 star member of the Court, with the exception of Lucius who had seen both Kai and Tom.
Lucius was an 8-star member himself and was the highest member of the Court that many of the governors had personally met. This was one of the primary reasons that he was the chairman of the board of governors and not anybody else. There were other reasons such as his wealth and political position.
The vampire lord heard all of the murmuring voices become quiet the moment that he finished. If they looked at Kai from the Court's ranking then he was considered their supervisor's supervisor's boss. He could easily pull rank if he wanted to receive the job.
But since Kai was still feeling exhilaration from beating Dumbledore that he felt that he could show off and receive the job with his own abilities, all of the feats that were in his new identity were done by him anyway. "I have also fought, studied, healed and killed many magical beasts during the first Court war. In between that period, I was the administrator for the whole magical creature department."
This part wasn't quite true but the vampire lord had visited and tended to the hurt creatures so there was some truth to his words.
Their eyes widened in surprise and respect, it wasn't every day that a person could meet one of the original members of the Court. After that war, many flocked to join the organization and all of the members that joined before the war were promoted by a couple of stars depending on their contributions.
The vampire enjoyed the looks of admiration but hid it behind his cold exterior and continued. "I have also fought and slain many during the dragon war so I believe that I have the right to teach the students here. I should hope that I get the job," his eyes narrowed.
"After all the only reason that I am here is due to the fact that this school's current standards have fallen to such a disgraceful level that I was assigned to bequeath the children with relevant and helpful information that will help them in their life."
Lucius returned to the rest of the board members and they created a Muffliato charm that caused a loud buzzing noise in their surroundings. This was to cause Kai to be unable to hear them but with his enhanced hearing he could easily hear that they had a few discussions that checked his documents that verified his identity.
After agreeing that he would get the position, the caster of the spell nullified the spell and apologized, stating that it was needed to vote. Afterwards, Lucius stepped forward and declared that Kai would receive the role. Kai thanked him and after being told to arrive on September the first with his teaching materials, he turned to leave.
While walking to the door he called out "Oh by the way you should prepare the staff for the fact that I am a vampire." He then pulled the door and left.

dragonfang1917 What do you think about this chapter and the previous chapter with Dumbledore? I would have thought that there would have been more opinions about his character and if it was believable.
