Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 74 Abalax World Academy

The Second Volume: Abalax World Academy

Lenz city, Espat.

A big island stood high in the sky at the outskirts of the Lenz city in the Espat country of the Neutral Continent. The island in itself looked like a small city. It was the Abalax sky island and it was the place where the world’s most elite Academy, the Abalax World Academy, was established.

Today was the opening of the Entrance test of the Academy and all the towns, villages and districts of the Lenz City was jam packed by people and children from all over the world. The rich and influential families stayed in the Lenz city around the Lenz Tower and the others stayed in the suburbs of the city or different districts or towns or Villages connected to it.

Some people had come here more than a few months back and some only just arrived a few hours or minutes ago. There were all sorts and types of people. The whole city seemed very diverse today as people of many different races have arrived here. You could go on the street and you may find, apart from the 8 main races, beastkins, mermens, krakens, dwarves, trolls, goblins, orcs, skeletons, slimes, ghouls, Liches, Fairies and many more different types of races.

Though the world had the 8 main races, their total population combined wasn’t equal to the total population of the different types of races combined. Thus, different people of different races could be seen on any continent living alongside the people of the 8 main races. Neutral Continent was the most diverse. Thus, many people of many races were waiting for the academy’s entrance test to begin.

The test was conducted in sessions over the course of 14 days or two weeks. One session lasted for four days and there was a break on the 5th and the 10th day. There were three sessions for selecting students and everyone had to go through these tedious and difficult tests. After all of this was done, more than 70-80% students would have failed and were rejected by the academy.

The rest 20-30% students would then have to take one final test to get admitted into the Academy. It was a combat examination. The students had to compete against each other over the course of few days and many would be rejected in this process.

Each year more than 10 million people from around the world came to give this examination. The ones who get to go first and give the exam were people who had registered years ago for the exam of one particular year or very influential people who had made hefty donations or people who had connections or in a much more convenient and easy way, through Witches.

The Witches would may you have access earlier or later and that would depend upon the money you pay. Only the very wealthy people resorted to their services and the other people would pay donations to the academy for an earlier slot.

The deadline to register for the examination was also very relaxed. The academy allowed registration up until 10 days before the examination is conducted. After their registration, they are given a badge. The badge had their registration number and it would directly teleport you to the exam facility once it was your turn.

The badge looked like a small square screen. It had the examinees registration number and below it was the registration number that had started taking the exam currently. This ensured that the examinees could have a rough estimation as to when they would be able to take the test and would thus be ready to be teleported.

All the teleportation circles to the sky island were closed during these few days when the examination was going on and no staff member from the sky island could leave either. The students would be teleported safely inside and outside when they are called in or done with their examination. It was very safe and reliable.

Millions of people were currently staying in the Lenz city and were waiting for the exam to begin. It would happend at any moment and the people kept looking at the registration badge. The badge currently only had their own number and nothing else, indicating no one has taken the exam yet.

…..

Abalax Sky Island, Lenz city.

A very grand and sophisticated looking silver-white castle with many colourful pointy towers was established in the middle of the sky island. It was very big and also very tall. It was the main building of the Abalax World Academy and it had many cla.s.srooms, laboratories, specimen rooms, staff office and various other things in it. It also had an Alchemical Life which would help students locate places easily and also acted as a surveillance system. It would inform the authorities if any mishap had occurred due to the students in the main building.

Inside the Princ.i.p.al’s office in the main building.

A beautiful and elegant looking blonde hair lady wearing big round gold rim gla.s.ses was currently working. She was looking at the laptop screen in front of her and was also going through various papers. Time was tight as she had to finish her work quickly and start the entrance examination. All the staff members were awaiting her orders and she was here, doing some final touches to some work.

Half an hour later, she closed her laptop screen and muttered

“Phew. Finally I am done.” She said in a relived tone. She then tapped the ringer bell on the side of her table.

Ding!

It made the sound and a lady wearing a white shirt and blue pants along with black heels with her light brown hair tied up in a bun came in. She was holding some files in her hand as she walked in.

“Yes, madam?” She said in a neutral tone while looking at the blonde hair lady with her light brown eyes.

“Inform them to start the examination. I’ve sent the needed files to you. Please forward it to the respected authorities.”

The lady said in her rich and smooth tone. Though she seemed to be the boss of the lady standing in front of her, she still made her requests politely and didn’t order her around arrogantly. From her tone, she seemed to be a kind and gentle lady.

“Okay, madam.” The lady nodded her head and left.

The blonde lady leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes to relax. No sooner did she do that, a magic circle appeared just a little away from her table.

She looked at the magical fluctuations and sat in an upright formal position. She didn’t panick nor did she showed any signs of distress. She was an Emperor rank and only a being of Supreme rank had the ability to kill her if they wanted. And as for them, why would they come over here just for her? She had done nothing related to them. The one who could come in her office directly like this must only be another Emperor rank or certain Witches.

After a few seconds, a black haired lady with heterochromatic red and blue eyes wearing a black pointy hat and a purple robe walked out of it.

The blonde haired lady looked at her and said in a neutral tone

“Why have you come here at this time and also at this place, Hecate?”

“I have some urgent business with you. Her majesty has tasked me with going through the registration process of the entrance exam of her son. I am here for that and also to inform you that she will be coming to the academy to watch her son’s performance.” Hecate said in a neutral tone.

“Her majesty? Who?” The blonde lady asked in a confused tone.

“Her majesty the Vampire Queen.” Hecate said in the same neutral tone.

“What?!” The blonde lady stood up and said in shock.

“Hecate, you! Ugh. I do not like you. Sigh.” The lady went through a series of emotions and sighed in the end. She then tapped the counter bell and tbe lady which she had just given a task came back in. The blonde lady looked at her and said

“Ask the examination to be halted. It will begin after an hour. The examination with start when I give you the registration of the examinee that I am about to register. This one will also be the first partic.i.p.ant.”

“Understood. Anything else, madam?” The lady asked in a neutral tone.

“Not for now. You may leave.” The blonde haired lady said and sighed.

The lady bowed a little and left.

Hecate sat down on a sofa in the room. She made herself some tea with the items present on the sofa and waited patiently for the blonde lady to finish her work and give her the badge she needed.

After only about a few minutes later, the blonde lady took out a badge and started drawing a magic circle on it. After a few seconds, she tossed it to Hecate.

Hecate catched it and said to the blonde lady

“Thankyou. I owe you a favour.”

She left after saying that.

“Sigh. Although a favour from an Emperor rank Witch seems nice, this has become very stressful for me. All along I’ve been wondering why I wasn’t able to find the Vampire Prince’s name and even thought that he was coming with a fake name but it turned out that he wasn’t even registered in the first place.

On top of that, now I’ll have to sit with the Vampire Queen in the same room and watch him give the exam. Sitting with a Supreme rank, sigh, so stressful. I just hope everything goes well. May the light be with me.” The lady muttered to herself and drew a cross on her chest at the end.

She tapped the bell again and instructed the lady with the tasks she had to perform. She then left her office and went to the site of the examination and waited for the first examinee to come and also for the examinee’s mother or more correctly, the Vampire Queen.
