Vampire's Slice Of Life
chapter-117

Racking his brains for a bit, the best option that Lith could come up with was to directly snatch it from Ralph. Schemes and tricks don't work in front of absolute power. Lith knew about it and, since he was much stronger than Ralph, devising plans and working on it would just waste his time.

Making up his mind, Lith dashed towards Ralph, when the latter felt someone closing in on him, almost instinctively and immediately, he cast Short Jump and teleported away. Lith too cast Short Jump and closed in on Ralph.

Lith chased while Ralph kept distancing away. Finally, he cast Time Acceleration on himself, giving the final push he needed to close in on Ralph. Grabbing Ralph's shoulder from behind, Lith cast the time spell Slow on him, making Ralph's thought process and movement slow down to a tremendous degree.

Lith took the flags from Ralph's hands and teleported away, leaving Ralph behind under the effect of Slow.

Teleporting near a five-membered team, Lith walked closer to the team leader holding the flag. All five people panicked, looking at Lith, the team leader said, stuttering while holding the flag tightly in his hand,

"Prince Lith, d-don't even t-t-think about this."

Lith raised an eyebrow at such a comment and said smiling, "why not?"

"Uhh…we, well, worked hard to collect these three flags. Please spare us." Fear took the best of the team leader as he was questioned by the strongest teen in the world.

The Vampire Prince had proved his abilities time and time again, such as in the entrance exam or the flying test. It was rumoured that he didn't spend more than a minute with his opponents and one shot killed them during the entrance exam. He also made a new record in the flying test and thus, these people naturally feared Lith.

Lith could understand why these people were panicking so much. He sighed and shook his head helplessly. Was he that scary in everyone's eyes? He thought to himself.

Lith cast Short Jump and reached the team leader. He didn't need to cast Slow on this person as he wasn't strong enough like Ralph. Forcefully taking the flags from his hands, Lith once again cast Short Jump and distanced away.

"NOOOO! OUR FLAGS!" The team members cried out.

"Please don't take our flags, Lord Lith."

"NOOOO…"

"Your highness, it would be this lowly vampire's pleasure to serve you. Please take these flags."

"Lith, don't you dare! Don't you dare take our flags!"

"NOOOO!! DAMN YOU!!"

"Sigh, we can't do anything in front of absolute power. Here, take it. We'll take our leave."

"I worked hard to collect these *sob* *sob*, please don't take them away from me."

"M-my f-flags *sob* *sob*."

...

There were two hours left for the assignment to end and it took Lith only thirty minutes to gather all the flags. He didn't attack anybody for it, just trapped their movements with spells and teleported away after taking their flags. It saved time and effort both for him.

After collecting everyone's flags, Lith found a tree and sat down near it, keeping the flags close to him on the ground. He closed his eyes to take a rest while waiting for the time to be up.

Apart from his own peaceful self, everyone else was panicking and running around searching for him to take back their flag. Some gave up, some were angry, some were sad, but the majority currently had only one goal in their mind: To find Lith and take back their flags.

Lith was oblivious to the chaos he created and rested peacefully. The flags were beside him and he was keeping an eye on them. Having a lot of time left and nothing to do, he decided to rest.

Space fluctuated around Lith and out of thin air, a beautiful bluish silver-haired lady wearing round, opaque black sunglasses came out. Her abdomen was exposed as she only wore a white sports bra, with a black jacket over it. Below which were black leggings along with black shoes.

Lith opened his eyes and looked at this beautiful lady with an hourglass figure walking towards him. As he looked, he thought to himself,

'Well, no matter how many times I see the teacher, her figure is indeed the most perfect I've ever seen. Wait, why am I thinking of this? I am not a pervert, I am not a pervert, I am not a pervert, I only admire the teacher's beauty.

Mother always says, always appreciate the beauty of a lady whenever you can, in a respectful and comfortable way. Don't creep her out or say vulgar things while admiring her.

I am only following that. But…wait…why did she tell me this?'

Like always, Lith kept overthinking things once again but his train of thoughts was interrupted when Arya walked closer to him and sat beside him in the same position as him.

Gazing at the distant trees, Arya put on a melancholic expression and said, "my student, we are all like trees."

"Trees?" Lith turned to Arya and asked in confusion.

"Correct. Trees. We all try to stabilize ourselves by making our roots stronger and grow and grow just like trees." Arya said, still having a melancholic expression.

Lith had no idea why his teacher came here out of nowhere and why she was melancholic. He didn't ask her about it in case it ruined the melancholic atmosphere, and just went along with her talks. He replied to Arya's answer by saying

"Makes sense. I guess?"

"My dear student, I know life has been hard for you. We should forget about our past and strive for our future. Aim for the top, become invincible and immortal." Arya said while turning to Lith and patting his head.

Lith still had no idea what was happening, but since it seemed like his teacher was giving some good life advice, he didn't stop her and let her do as she pleased.

Arya continued while looking at Lith, "I know that you are doubting yourself at this stage of life. Don't worry, we are all confused sometimes. I know that you've been around those two boys since the academy started. You also live and hangout with them every day.

You may feel like you are starting to become gay, but my dear student, don't worry, you are not. Your teacher here will help ensure that you aren't confused about your sexuality."

"HUH!?"
