Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

52  A surprising power

Soon, they arrived at a place where the woman wrote several things with Matt's information and where he had to put his fingerprints to finish the inscription, although this was only the first part.

"Please test your power here." She said as she passed him a vampire ball.

Matt quickly tested it to speed up the process, but the number that appeared stunned them both.

Power: -4,500-

That number appeared floating above the vampire ball.

The girl came to her senses before Matt did and looked at him in shock, 'My god, could he be one of those genius vampires from the second academy? According to his ID, he's barely in his first year...' She thought in shock after seeing this.

Although many students come to enroll in the Hunters Guild, and she sometimes registers some of them, most are older than Matt by a few years.

And while it is not the first time she has registered a student with such power, it is the first time she has registered one so young with such high power.

She doesn't know what it means but might soon find out.

Matt even forgot to breathe when he saw this, 'What the heck? Since when did I have so much power? Certainly, I can feel that I have over 4,000 Power, but 4,500? That much?!' He thought to himself in shock.

'Was it from fighting that powerful devourer? It has to be that, and maybe the strange power that went into my body has something to do with it, too... But this is amazing; I'm already so close to being a Little Vampire on the power scale.' Matt thought, smiling.

After becoming a Little Vampire, the next important level is at 20,000, at which point you will become a Superior Vampire.

That is still far off for him, but he does not doubt that he will reach it. Still, this time, he wants to celebrate the fact that he will soon reach the Second Stage of the Power Scale.

Thanks to this, a smile emerged on his face, and he looked at the girl who was now looking at him with more respect.

She finished this stage and then asked him to follow her elsewhere.

After walking down a long hallway, they entered the back of the building, where the area for testing, training, and various other things used by the guild was located.

The lady approached the man sitting at the registration desk and spoke to him.

"Sir, this is Matthew Dietrich, a student of the Second Academy; he is here to register. The first part was already completed; could you please register him for the second part?"

The man being spoken to looked up and, seeing that he was a well-muscled and good-looking young man, nodded, "Power level?" he asked.

"4,500 power." Replied the lady truthfully.

The man frowned and stared at her, "Are you sure?" He asked in surprise, and she nodded to him once again.

"I am, sir. I saw it myself." She replied, causing the man to look at Matt in surprise.

'How old is he? His vital aura doesn't look that old; could he be in his early 20's?' He thought doubtfully. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rarely does he see a person who has so much power at such a young age.

'Maybe he's from one of those rich families... Dietrich, though, eh... I wonder where there's a family with that surname.' He thought and didn't hesitate to register it quickly.

"Do you know the rules, Matthew?" he asked as he looked at him.

Matt nodded, "I must beat an instructor who has 500 more power than me in order to pass the test." He replied, smiling.

He had already researched this, and although he knew it would not be easy, he had no problem with it. In fact, now that he knows his power is 4,500, he feels this is an excellent time to test it.

The man nodded in response and then asked him to follow him again, leading them to one of the instructors.

Because Matt had a higher power than expected, he needed a more powerful instructor. Soon, they came before one who used a large, long sword.

"Oh? It's strange that you come looking for me." He said when he saw the man arrive before him along with two more people.

"Instructor, this boy wants to enroll, so I will ask you to fight him now. Let's see how good he is to know what rank to put him in." He replied, and the instructor nodded.

"Very young. Are you sure he has that much power?" the instructor asked doubtfully, and the man in front of him nodded to him.

"The young lady has already registered him." He replied, and the instructor nodded.

"Boy, I'll wait for you in the arena." The instructor said and then walked into the door behind him.

Still, Matt shook his head, "I don't need that. I'm fine like this."

The man smiled and looked at Matt, "Ask for any weapon or armor you want, and the guild will give it to you. They are not high quality, but they will serve you well for trial combat." He spoke.

Still, Matt shook his head, "I don't need that. I'm fine like this."

His answer surprised the man before him, "You don't even want armor? Remember that it's not like the academy testing grounds there, where it's another dimension. This is real life; if you get hit and break a bone, it will hurt immensely." He said, trying to convince him.

But Matt still shook his head, "Breaking a bone is the beginning of it getting stronger, didn't you know that? So, if the instructor breaks a bone for me, it will heal and be more durable then." Matt replied with a smile and walked into the door that was there, leaving the man a little stunned by his answer.

He put his hand to his head and smiled, "He's a guy who likes to forge himself; no wonder, being so young, he comes here." He said and then looked at the girl to the side.

"What's his age?" he asked.

"He's 20, sir." She replied, and the man then nodded.

'So young and talented, with such high power. Undoubtedly, he must come from some great family. But if he gave an answer like that, it seems that this one is more dedicated to training than the rest that usually comes.' He thought and waited patiently to see if he would pass the second test.

Most would give up on this test; after all, beating an instructor more powerful than you is not an easy thing to do.
