Blood Evolution System

From her words, it was obvious she had personal feuds to settle with the creatures from hell. They had invaded the territory of her soon-to-be dukedom, harmed her people, damaged the land she loved, and caused debts to rake up like a shower of rain that causes flooding.

Emerald\'s eyes shifted towards Damien who happened to be stealing a glance at Vincent.

\'Thankfully, this person appeared and helped us out of our misery, else a lot of people in the northern region of the empire would\'ve died due to hunger and thirst,\' Emerald thought as she peeked a glance at her husband to be with a grateful smile forming on her face, which disappeared the moment Damian shifted his gaze towards her.

"Are you feeling cold?"

"Nope, but thanks for your concerns."

"But your hands are cold," Damien said after holding her hands in his, "You should wear gloves. I like it when your hands are warm."

Emerald\'s ears reddened as she didn\'t refuse him from holding her hands, and they walked hand in hand.

Looking at them acting like an affectionate couple and holding each other hands, Vincent\'s eyes narrowed as he missed Leilani.

Damien and Emerald were walking through the winding paths to reach the weapon training classroom where Vincent was also headed by the way.

Sometime later, the three of them entered a room with white tiles covering the floor and walls. The weapon training classroom was spacious as it spanned for around a mile and was separated into different zones.

At the spacious center of the room, there were over a hundred robots modeled after humans made out of iron. These robots were standing still as if they could not currently move.

The second zone was the spectators seating area, where students could be sitting on multiple story bleachers. There were more than a few hundred students in that place. Most of them were here to participate in the class while the rest of them were here to pure watch the competition.

In the third zone, a lot of weapon racks holding different types of weapons could be seen.

"She is finally here."

The burly instructor who was awaiting the arrival of the programmer smiled the moment he saw Emerald entering the room through the front door.

He exhaled a relieved breath while walking up to them.

"I\'m glad to see you here," instructor Baldwin the baldie said, "Please do your work so I can begin my class."

Baldie was the title the students gave him as he had a head full of air rather than hair.

"Sure, it will just take a few moments," Emerald said as she took out quantum equipment and connected one side of the data transferring cables to her equipment, and handed the others to her soon-to-be husband.

"What is this about?" Damien asked with raised eyebrows.

"Since you\'re already here, help me fit all these cables in the connectors at the neck just above the nape of the robots," Emerald said with an angelic smile on her face. "Of course, you can also decline to help me."

Damien knew she will ignore him for a few days if he doesn\'t help her right now.

"As you say, my wife."

He walked up to the robots and inserted the cables into them one by one while thinking that the reason he fell for Emerald was that she possessed everything that makes a perfect woman; beauty, brain, and an ample bosom.

Meanwhile, Vincent looked for his girlfriend in the classroom.

After a few moments, he saw Leilani standing with John and Varth, who wore a mask that covered his entire face except for his right eye.

Vincent walked up to them with a smile.

After talking with them for a while, he shifted his entire attention towards Leilani and asked, "Did you miss me?"

Leilani blinked her eyes in response signifying that she missed him.

Vincent proceeded to rub her chin and please his girlfriend with feline roots.

After a moment, Leilani purred and said, "There\'s a lot of eyes watching. I don\'t want others to think I am weird or get you embarrassed for associating with a feline demi-human like me, meow."

"You worry needlessly, Flower."

She was embarrassed, to say the least, and Vincent could feel it.

"Then should I hold your hands for now?"

"Holding hands is fine," Leilani nodded and held his hands.

A single look at them, and she felt like they were the perfect hands she has ever seen in her life.

Vincent, on the other hand, smiled.

Her hands are as warm as I thought, he said in his mind.

After a few moments, once Emerald booted up dozens of the robots and inputted different commands in their system, instructor Baldie shifted his attentions to the students and said, "Gather up! The class is about to begin!"

As soon as instructor Baldwin said those words, the student resting on the bleachers stood up, walked down the stairs, and gathered in front of him.

"Today\'s lecture is kinda special as it is more like a competition rather than a class. As you can see, there are various training robots in this room. In today\'s lecture, you will fight with them. These robots are specially made to deflect all attacks thrown their way, but they won\'t attack back or harm you in any way. Also, these robots are modeled after human beings, and they carry a list of human-like weak points. You can gain an advantage by abusing their weaknesses."

"In this competition, you are not allowed to use beast\'s weapons and any kind of external item except for the normal weapons held within these racks," Baldwin said while pointing to the weapon rack not far in the distance.

"Lastly, the student that defeats the robot in the shortest time by the end of the class will receive a candy with special benefits!"

"Does anyone have any questions?"

A student raised his hand and asked, "Can we challenge them multiple times?"

"Yes, but you\'ll have to wait for ten minutes after each spar," Baldwin replied.

"Instructor, what kind of candy is it?" Nevis asked with a curious look on his face.

Baldwin smiled and said, "It\'s a magical candy that will increase your body strength upon consumption, unconditionally. Of course, your body will build up a resistance against it once you consume a lot of them. Still, it can be considered as a rare treasure that will prove to be beneficial to any one of you, but only the best one will obtain it. So, don\'t hesitate and give it your all!"

There were a lot of students that were confused about some things and they started to ask for answers from the instructor to clear their confusion.

While the students were lost in their fervent excitement, chatting with each other, and asking questions from the instructor, Damien suddenly appeared before Vincent and said, "Good luck. I will be watching you from the spectator\'s seat. I hope you won\'t disappoint."

Damien\'s eyes had a glint that had Vincent give him a look of curiosity. At that very moment, his eyes flashed crimson before retaining their hazel color.

Then, he walked away without uttering another word.

"Am I seeing things?" Vincent said in his mind as he looked at the back of Damien, who could be seen walking towards the spectators sitting area to sit with his soon-to-be wife.

‹ Not really, his eyes were glowing in a crimson hue ›

"Is he a vampire?"
