3rd person view
"Wait, that kid really turned into a dhampir?" Draven asked
"You know I do not lie about such things" Urie replied "It would cause quite a commotion if I were to bring him to the vampire kingdom"
"When was the last time a dhampir was born?" Alice asked
"I checked, it was several centuries ago" Urie answered "She was one of the strongest vampires of all time, even rising all the way to becoming a vampire queen"
"So when do you plan on bring him to the vampire kingdom?"
"Soon, I look forward to his future" Urie smiled "And he's going to join us too, at this rate, he'll even join our ranks"

I went straight to my new home after the incident. What greeted me was my family, and the 2 Steels. Diana was in her human form being pampered by mom.
-You're never going to hear the end of what's coming- Dabria said after a long time
-Welcome back-
"How was your date?" Professor Emma asked condescendingly
"Um it was alright, so why are my you guys here? And why do the rest of you have a weird smile on your faces?"
"The school has now offered you to be our assistant" Professor Steel said "See, Neelofar's Lily Academy and Artia's Phoenix academy have decided to collaborate and as a sign of good will, our school's close combat class, beast taming class and the healing class will have field trips here next year, and you are also chosen to be our student assistant"
"What do I do as an assistant?"
"You'll assist us on our trips and teaching, you can also do the tradition of beating newcomers, don't worry, you'll also be graded accordingly." Professor Steel explained
"Do I get paid?"
"Well yes, so you in?" He asked
"Cool, I'll do it, sounds easy enough"
"Your friends are here too, though currently, they're at the palace accompanying our royal family" Professor Steel said "You can visit them tomorrow"
"Perseus, we've just gotten a call from the king quite a while ago" John smile got even wider
-Here it comes- Siege said
-Oh I think I know where this is going-
"Why don't you go ahead and tell us about your day?" Olivia joined in
I tried to run but Olivia grab was stronger than I thought.
"Don't try to run away now" she warned

"So I understand Eleanor being here to accompany her family but what about the rest of you guys?"
"I asked to come along and see your new place of course" Albert answered
"Say the vampires on the streets, they don't feed on us humans, do they?" Lucas asked nervously
"They can if you want them to"
"You're supposed to reassure me on this!" he retorted
They then saw Cordelia approaching us and bowed, Cordelia was wearing a blue gown similar to the ones I saw her wear when she was the stand-in queen, but not fancy.
"Is it just me or did your hair color changed rom the last time we've met?" Cordelia asked Lucas
"Finally another person who sees it"
-Maybe she got infected the moment she kissed you- Dabria said
-Congratulations on your first kiss- Diana added
-Let's not continue this, yesterday was enough, first time in my life where I was scared of Olivia-
"Do they not notice?" Cordelia asked
"So far, only me, you and Eliza noticed it"
"Ah so he's the one you've been talking about" a girl said
She looked like an older and more beautiful version of Eleanor, she was wearing a white gown while being accompanied by a mage
-That's her sister, isn't it?-
"Ah, how rude of me, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Charlotte Magus, Artia's first princess and heiress to the throne" she said "And this is my guardian, Hamilton knight"
-And he's a mage, that's kinda funny- Ace chuckled
-Ironic, isn't it- Damon agreed
"I've heard so much about you and I've seen your performance at the inter-academy competition, I'm a very big fan" She continued "We should get tea sometime"
-What is it with rich people and tea?-
"You have more women in your life than I thought" Cordelia teased "And here I thought there won't be too many competition"
"Are you 2 dating?" Cecily asked
"No...at least not yet"
"So excuse my curious question, what is the current relationship between you 2?" Aenon asked
-Don't say it's complicated, I'm curious myself- Diana said
"Well it's kinda complicated, we're friends for now I guess"
-Diana told you not to answer like that- Dabria scolded
"Yes, after all we've only kissed once" Cordelia nodded "But we'll see how it goes in the close future"
"When did you kissed exactly?" Eleanor asked
"It was yesterday after our spar, my father then caught us in the act" Cordelia shrugged
"My man" Lucas whispered as he gave me a low-five.

"Is everything in place, Owen?" the boss of the red sword asked
"Shut up, Silas" Owen, one of the co-founders replied "Leona's public execution is going to take place soon, and doing our plan around the same time is rushing it a bit"
"Well if Milo can't rush it by her execution date then we'll delay it, but trust me on this Owen, doing it on the same day will make people fear us more" Silas reassured
"And if we fail, then what? Let them capture us and kill us?"
"No, we take the corrupted pill those guys give us"
"I don't know Silas, I don't trust those guys" Owen shook his head "They may be stronger than us and our backer, but I see no reason to trust them, they haven't even told us their goals."
"What choice do we have?" Silas replied "Just remember to eat the pill when you're cornered, at least, we'll be able to take down some of them"
