Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

Daimon rose one of his brows, the only people present in the room were already in a way or another his acquittances, Boris was the tutor of the elite class and the vice principal from the snow leopard clan, which he has somehow bumped into quite a few times.

Aura stretched her arms and then waved her hands.

“You two also take a seat, there are no stranger here anymore”.

Boris and the vice principal surnamed Leeris nodded and took a seat next to Daimon, Aura then snapped her fingers and a magic formation engraved on the floor of the room activated.

Daimon looked at the symbols and recognized the use of the formation thanks to the truth seeker eyes.

“Anti-spying, isolation and soundproof, what can be so serious for you too be this wary”, he thought.

Aura pointed at the snow leopard vice principal and then said.

“For starters why don’t you properly introduce yourself?”.

The woman nodded and then spoke in a calm melodious voice.

“Stella Leeris, the young miss of the snow leopard… it’s a pleasure”.

Daimon nodded at her, and then turned to see Aura.

“What could be so important to mount all this “show”, is it related to that new information you mentioned about the exploration?”.

Aura smiled; her eyes seemed to have a cunning glow as she answered.

“Yes, the team that went with the Greenwich Sage discovered something that is making the whole stellar chart shake, first the ruin only opened because its days are counted, once the time comes it will self-destroy”.

Daimon wasn’t surprised to hear that, what made magic ruins and secret realms so coveted was that they only appeared under certain circumstances, and their time was limited, once they close their treasures and legacies will be buried with them.

“That’s not something new though?”, he said.

Aura tapped her fingers on her desk before continuing.

“Normally yes, but there is another rule this time… the more people enter, the less time it will remain open, originally, we were going to send about 240 students, in other words the elite classes of both first and second years of each one of the four academies”.

“But according to the calculations of the sage that will mean the ruin would have self-destroyed in three days, so all the galaxies reached the agreement of cutting the amount in half, the sixth star ranked from the second-year classes couldn’t enter anyway, so now it will fifteen from the first year and fifteen from the second year”.

Daimon now understood why that alfear would risk to create a conflict just to earn a spot at the exploration, if before everyone was trying to win over a place by doing some ass licking or bribing, now things got dead serious.

But then he shrugged after thinking more about it, he didn’t see anything changing for his plans, there weren’t that many members of the elite class after all.

“I get it, but it’s not like it affects me, all my class needs at most ten spots anyway”.

Boris sighed.

“Kid, at least show a bit of concern for an event that will change the whole stellar chart”.

Aura took out a black badge and threw it to Daimon.

“Mm?”, Daimon inspected the thing, there was only one word written on it “Black”.

“What is this”, he asked to Aura.

Aura noticed the now interested expression in Daimon’s face and he inwardly smiled.

“Something that changes the whole idea of the exploration we had, changing the number of participants was within our predictions, but now according to the “rules” discovered along with these badges… the one who hold onto it can allow a mage lord to enter as long as it passes some kind of trial”.

Daimon’s eyes widened a bit, a mage lord among a bunch of star ranked mages was like a wolf in a sheep flock.

“Okay, that is actually a big change in the plan… and I suppose the mage lord selected to come with us is this vice principal, right?”.

Stella frowned her brows.

“Hey, I understand my proximity with vice principal Jolbaris is not appeasing for you, but at the very least follow the standard rule of calling someone by their last name”.

Aura knew Daimon didn’t like formalities, specially with those who are not related to him, so she interrupted them before things got out of hands.

“Ahem, it was accorded by all the half emperors that the mage lord going, couldn’t belong to any of the main families or their allies… vice principal Leeris was chosen because her clan is neutral and she has a perfectly clean record”.

She then took out a piece of paper which looked somewhat familiar.

“Or at least that was the idea but as soon as the notice was passed down to all the members of the council at the beast faction, vice principal Leeris approached me and signed a soul contract, to assure she won’t do anything harmful to any of the students of the elite class”.

Daimon nodded.

“Well, that should have been a given from a teacher of the academy, but I guess it’s good to hear I won’t have to watch my back against one of the four mage lords that will probably appear in the magic ruin”.

Stella didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry, but ultimately, she came here to find an ally, so she didn’t forget to mention what she offered.

“There is an extra clause in the contract, I won’t interfere in “personal feuds” between the students… unless Daimon Licht is in trouble, if that was the case, then I have to offer my help in every way possible”.

Daimon saw Aura smiling at him, if they were alone, he was sure her tail would have been wagging, she basically got him a bodyguard which couldn’t betray him, but that also confused him a bit.

“That sounds good vice principal Leeris, now tell me why would you chose to do that when you seem to enjoy being in company of the Jolbaris?”.

After the couple of times, they have met before, Daimon already formed a mental image of Stella’s personality, even when he threatened her back at the admission exams, she didn’t lose her composure nor showed any hostility, but now she had an angered expression on her face.

“That’s because I hate Carmela Jolbaris and this is a good chance to get back at her, even if it’s just a bit”.

“Carmela Jolbaris?”, said Daimon in a confused voice.

“Arthur Jolbaris wife and Alexander’s mother”, mumbled Boris.

With his usual indifferent expression Daimon looked at Stella as he slowly spoke.

“So, you want me to kill her son to lessen your hatred?”.

Stella immediately shook her head.

“Hell no, my goal is to crush that woman’s pride, I just want you to prevent Alexander from getting any decent treasure, that will be enough”.

“So, she is remaining technically “neutral”, as long as I don’t get into any trouble”, Daimon thought before inwardly shrugging.

“Whatever I wasn’t counting with a mage lord before, so having one as an ally is just a bonus for me”.

As if she suddenly remembered something, Aura scratched the back of her head.

“I nearly forgot about it… the competition to decide the participants will be held the next week and we will depart by the beginning of the next week after that, second grades will have their tournament first and then first years”.

Boris was especially against the competition being so rushed, their training barely started and there was a lot of things they still had to learn, unfortunately there was nothing he could do.

Stella stood up from her chair and then she slightly rose the sides of her dress.

“Now that everything is settled, I will take my leave, I pray for a good cooperation between my Leeris and the Argent and Revy families”.

Daimon nodded, he stood up and then slightly bowed with his right hand placed where his heart is positioned, a gesture of goodwill among nobles.

“I hope so too… miss Leeris”.

Stella left, leaving behind only Boris, Daimon and Aura, of course Boris noticed Aura glared at him so he immediately stood up and excused himself.

“Principal, I need to check up on my niece, so I will also take my leave”.

As soon as Boris left, Aura stood up and then walked towards Daimon, she then put a hopeful expression like a little girl who wants to be praised.

Daimon tapped his leg and Aura immediately sat on his lap, just to be kissed by Daimon, her cute wolf ears twitched as she enjoyed the kiss.
