Chapter 104: A History Lesson

Mr. Visit looked at Keith with a smile and stopped engraving the runes.

“You need my help with something?” He asked.

Kieth cleared his throat and carefully thought about what he was going to say.

” I want to get a bronze hunter license. The second requirement is to be a student with two years or more years of experience, but I’ve been here for a week or so.” Keith asked carefully.

“Bronze hunter license. You want to go outside the academy campus.” Mr. Visit quickly caught up to his intention.

“As a summoner, I want to research more about wild beasts, so this is a good way to encounter them,” Keith said.

“The blood summoning department provides their own wild beasts, don’t they? Why do you need to go outside? It’s very dangerous  there.” 

Mr. Visit looked curiously towards Keith, trying to discern his true intention.

“I want to discover more powerful beasts. Here, they only have baron-level wild beats, and all the higher level beats are already summoned beasts.”

“Baron level beast is not enough for you? Did you try to bond with a beast? It is not easy.” Mr. Visit warned.

” I already have a baron stage summon. I bonded with it yesterday. Still, it was really hard, like you mentioned.” Keith said with a tired expression.

“You already performed the first phase of the blood summoning technique?” Mr. Visit squinted his eyes.

“The beast is in my room consolidating its blood-qi. I already replaced the blood-qi inside his head and now slowly injecting blood-qi into its body.”

Keith noticed that Mr. Visit wasn’t surprised to hear the steps. It looked like he knew about the technique before. However, he looked impressed by Keith’s achievement.

“As expected, my eyes are never wrong. You are indeed very special. Don’t worry about the license, just go to the registration office and see Jylee. She is in charge of all the hunter-related affairs.

I will send her a message about letting you participate in the test, but you have to prove your strength. The experience can be ignored if you have enough strength to back it up.” 

Kieth looked at him and smiled.

“Don’t you know my strength already?” 

He fought against the experimental artifact that could change its shape. Keith displayed strength on par with an early stage count. So he wondered why Mr. Visit said this to him.

“I know, but they don’t. It will be a good surprise… They will test your blood core and blood-qi levels. Whichever is higher will be given priority. Generally, viscounts have a higher amount of blood-qi than a baron, and the difference isn’t small.

You are an exception. The blood-qi inside you is close to a final stage viscount, which is unheard of from a final stage baron. I don’t think you’ll have any problem getting the license. On that note, you have to use just your blood core and not the warrior frame for the evaluation.” 

“It’s manageable. I think there won’t be any problems…” Keith contemplated his options.

He glanced at Mr. Visit but didn’t say anything. Noticing his hesitation, Mr. Visit asked.

“You have something else on your mind? I’m free for half an hour, so ask me if you have any doubts.” He sat on a chair and looked at the golden plate where runes interchanged and formed new runes.

“I… It’s not related to the academy, but I read somewhere that apart from vampires, there are some plants that can accumulate life energy to a significantly high level. Also, there was a record of a human whose strength surpassed baron stage vampires and rivaled that of the viscount.” Keith asked carefully.

“Where did you find such information?” Mr. Visit looked at Keith with a strange expression.

“It was in an antique store that had some books excavated from a ruin. I stumbled upon such a book that had all this information. I Was curious to know if the things documented there were true or not, but I didn’t know someone who had extensive knowledge regarding this matter.

I thought my best bet would be you. You’re the oldest and most influential vampire I know.” Keith said.

“Aren’t you acquainted with Lucien?” Mr. Visit asked.

“Ah! He’s so young compared to you, and the things I wanted to know are ancient information. Also, I don’t know him very well.” Keith replied.

Mr. Visit thought hard and tapped his fingers on the table. After a short silence, he spoke up.

“I have heard about the plants that accumulated astronomical levels of life energy. Some even rivaled the life energy of Dukes. This was hundreds of thousands of years ago. The vampire council buried all the knowledge regarding the era before the originals. It was available until the great war. 

I found some old copies of those documents several hundreds of years ago. At first, I dismissed them thinking they were just made-up stories. But the more I read, I realized how profound the underlying principles are.” Mr. Visit explained.

“There was also a mention of a special kind of human. The documents were torn and I couldn’t decipher the texts but I tried and reconstructed the inscriptions and found the term used for those humans.” 

Keith leaned in closer, focusing on his next words.

“They were called wizards. Sounds weird, doesn’t it? They used pure life energy to create a special kind of life energy compatible with their technique. Like we use blood-qi, they convert the life energy to mana or something.” Mr. Visit explained with a sigh.

Keith’s eyes were wide open after hearing the term as he was familiar with the concept. Back in his world, he used to play many role-playing games. So he knew about wizards, who used magic and spells. They used mana like the wizards from here.

But he wasn’t sure if they were completely similar. Maybe the wizards from here were different and used completely different techniques. He didn’t want to jump to a conclusion before seeing it with his own eyes. Still, he was excited to learn about this piece of information.

“Where are these wizards now?” Keith asked.

“According to the documents, the original vampires used their powers to purge all the wizards. The wizards posed the greatest threat to the vampires then. After the purge, the vampires closely monitored the humans and didn’t let them learn the wizarding techniques for generations. So now, you have a human population who don’t know any wizarding techniques.” 

Keith was taken aback by the revelation. 

“The vampires killed all the wizards a hundred thousand years ago?” 

“Seems like the originals didn’t want to share the continent. Well, that’s in the past. Now humans are like cattle to us. The Ghouls are the greatest threat to vampire society.” Mr. Visit sighed.

“So is there any connection between the plants and the humans known as wizards?” Keith wanted to know more so he followed up with another question.

“I didn’t find anything connecting the two, but both used pure life energy.” Mr. Visit said after thinking.

“That is a lot to take in. I thought humans were not capable of growing stronger like us, but it seems like they had forgotten about their past.” Keith thought about how most humans stayed inside a certain territory monitored by vampires.

They were used as cattle and blood was collected from them on a regular basis. So there was no way for the humans to practice the wizarding path. Keith guessed that the humans who tried to do that were eliminated in the past, and now there was not a single human who knew about it.

It happened over the span of thousands of years. It was a gradual process that resulted in the complete eradication of the wizard legacy.

‘If the wizards used life energy to practice their techniques, do they have a special core to convert the life energy as we do with blood cores?’

[We have to gather more information about the so-called wizards.]

‘Do you think… Rena’s abnormality is because of this?’ Keith asked the system.

[I mean, it’s possible. We don’t know anything about that to firmly accept the possibility, but if she exceeds the threshold, it might be true.]

‘This is great news. If Rena can become strong like me, I can take her with me to the blood forest, and don’t have to worry about her safety.  She will be a great help to me as well.’

[ That is after we find any technique related to the wizards. All the documents have been destroyed. The piece that the old man read was probably a history lesson. It didn’t contain any information about the technique or how they operated.

Her stats will increase but without a technique to fully utilize the life energy, she will have a great disadvantage against vampires.]

Kieth agreed with the system with this one. Being physically strong was not something that could rival the vampires. They already had unparalleled physique so matching that was a great achievement for a human, but the blood-qi techniques separate the wheat from the chaff. 

The vampires using the blood-qi technique were many times stronger than regular vampires. They could do much more with their blood-qi technique than just using their muscles.
