Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
chapter-177

Calvin which was happily twirling around Loren as he invited her to a tour through the Ghrish family, suddenly felt his lazy schedule being threatened and he immediately noticed the origin of that feeling.

"Ahem, tutor Ogien, it's too early to be angry, if you keep doing that, you'll grow old earlier".

Boris inwardly sighed, he knew his concerns were unfounded, they spent the weekend at the Revy family after all.

"Go to your designated place with your teacher, I have to go meet the other tutors for the announcements of the week, Daimon you are in charge".

After saying that Boris immediately left, leaving behind a slightly uncomfortable Aliya, because now besides Liz, there was a second Archmage accompanying Daimon.

Although Elaine was hiding three of her tails like her sister to not draw too much attention, she looked too similar to Liz for it to be a coincidence, in other words for those who recognized Liz as the champion of the Revy family would also know Elaine is the clan head.

With Liz things were a bit easier, after all is a well-known fact that the champion of the Revy family is an easy-going person, at least she doesn't actively take part in conflicts unless there something related to magic blacksmith involved.

But the clan head of the Revy family is the clear opposite of her sister, calculative, serious and cold, that is the image of Elaine, the world has.

"Are my lessons and knowledge being evaluated?", is what Aliya was thinking right now, it wasn't her fault though, given the urgency of the situation about the magic ruin, the teachers had to be selective in the things they taught their students.

It wasn't hard for Daimon to notice Aliya's discomfort, and he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry as he felt something soft and silky rubbing his back.

"I wonder what would her expression would be, if she knew there is a half emperor observing her too right now", he thought.

After leaving Aura's office, Erin was following them like a guardian angel, she of course took advantage of the situation to tease Daimon with her tail from time to time.

In any case, since Aliya's lessons weren't being doubted, Daimon took the initiative to introduce Elaine to her.

"Miss Aliya, let me present you, this is Elaine Revy… Liz's older sister and at the same time my fiancé".

Elaine followed the proper etiquette of a noble, she rose the sides of her dress as she said.

"It's a pleasure to meet Daimon's teacher, I was told a bit about your theory "concept", and it's quite amazing, I hope you don't mind me listening to your lessons".

As soon as her research was praised, Aliya couldn't help but smile and see Elaine in a different light as she replied in kind.

"Miss Elaine flatters me, it would be an honor to have the clan head of the Revy family as a listener of my lessons".

Now that the greets were properly exchanged, Daimon interrupted.

"We can catch up later at the classroom, let's take our seats before the place gets crowded".

Everyone nodded and then they went to the area designated for the Elite class, on the way they saw Alexander giving them some hateful gazes.

He was having a shitty day, due to a certain notice he received this morning and the fact that he couldn't use the seats of the elite class, because his authority and the one of his subordinates was eliminated the moment, he started his own elite class.

Which meant there were three free seats, as if everything was perfectly calculated, now there was a chair for Liz, Elaine and one for Loren, although there was a couch besides the main seats, it would look bad if either the students or two Archmages were sent to seat behind the others.

As for Aliya, there was a special seat for the teacher of the class, which wasn't occupied the last time they came for the welcoming ceremony, so no one had to remain standing up.

Out of consideration Michael moved to leave space for Liz and Elaine to be as close to Daimon as possible, and his gesture was well welcomed by them, as Liz sat on Daimon's lap, to leave one seat for Haylee to accompany Michael.

"Senior lightning assassin is still processing the documents, but she is part of this class too", she said in a righteous voice.

Which earned her an accusatory gaze from Aisha and Elaine.

"You just wanted to sit on Daimon's lap", they thought but didn't say anything.

And just like that, Daimon now had Liz sitting on his lap, while Erin was standing behind him with her head leaning on his shoulder, at his left Elaine and at his right Aisha.

It didn't take long for the small ceremony of the beginning of the week to start, the vice principals went up the stage, it was the first time Daimon saw the ten of then reunited in one place.

But he only recognized half of them Stella, the vice principal from the Risha family, which was now on their side since Ferdinand also came to their side and the two vice principals from the Revy and Argent families, the other five were two from the Jolbaris family which included Alexander's uncle, then there was also a veiled woman which was clearly affiliated to the army since her uniform had some badges and medals and the last two had no visual characteristics which indicated their races or the forces to which they were affiliated.

Considering the balance of power in the academy, the last two most likely belonged to the neutral part of the beast faction.

Daimon couldn't help but frown at the variety, he didn't understand the requirements needed to be a vice principal, Stella for example is just a peak mage lord, the others are all early stage Archmages but the woman from the army is surprisingly a peak Archknight!

"That was unexpected… she is the veiled woman of the admission exams, she wasn't wearing those badges that day, but that explains why she seemed to know our tutor", thought Daimon.

Not too many people seemed to be in friendly terms with Boris, so it's not hard to remember the veiled instructor, which called him "stubborn old man", since the woman was rather polite Daimon didn't bother to inspect her cultivation back then.

And she turned out to be a peak Archknight, probably she also worked as the envoy of the army in the academy, the students had to serve in the army for a period of time before the graduation after all.

Unlike what the students expected the vice principals didn't say anything, instead they parted way and slightly bowed their heads to the back of the scenery.

Stella then spoke in a calm but firm voice.

"Students stand up to greet the principal!".

As soon as Stella's words ended, all the students present stood up from their seats, of course the tutors and other staff did the same although they weren't specifically mentioned, what a joke, they were about to be in the presence of a half emperor.

A space crack opened from which Aura came out, unlike normally, she was wearing a black one-piece dress with white decorations, but she also combined it with a long-sleeved black coat with the emblem of a claw on the back, which she simply let rest on her shoulders.

Aura slowly walked towards the podium, while both students, teachers, tutors and the vice principals shouted.

"Greetings to the principal!".

Once Aura reached the podium every sound stopped, as they respectfully waited for her to speak.

Daimon chuckled, originally, he thought that the people of this world really over exaggerated, but considering the power and status a half emperor represented, it was as if normal citizens met the president back at earth.

Although Aura was shorter than Stella, everything was prepared beforehand, from the front it couldn't be seen but there were a series of stairs, so that she would reach the voice amplification device on the podium.

"Seats", Aura's little lips opened as she let out a single world, her voice wasn't serious nor relaxed, but the authority behind it was indisputable.

Besides the vice principals which were the next in the hierarchy, all the others returned to their seats.

Then Aura proceeded with the announcements of the week.

"As everyone already knows, the next week the exploration of the magic ruin will start, to decide who will occupy the thirty spots which my Wild Claw academy has, a tournament will be upheld".

Aura's eyes gazed at Daimon for a split of a second before she continued.

"Due to the special circumstances of the first year's elite class, the second years will be the first ones to fight, the matches will start today and the tournament will continue until Thursday".

"The classes won't be affected by this tournament as it is scheduled to take place after the lessons end, the details and rules will be given to all the participants by their respective tutors, all the students are free to go and enjoy the matches".

"That's all from my part, vice principal Leeris you are up", after saying that and without any warning, Aura disappeared as she returned to her office.

Stella had a slightly weird expression as she cleared her throat to draw everyone's attention.

"Ahem, we also have visitors from the Ocean's Heart, Earth Palace and the Furious Whirlwind academies, past week we had some incidents with the visitors from the blue-sky academy, so I will say this beforehand, any conflict will be seriously investigated and both parts will be punished according to the rules".

Daimon felt Stella's gaze piercing him, but he shrugged, he never started the conflict, if others didn't bother him then he wouldn't just casually kick their asses just because he could.
