Chapter 408 It's time to start a relationship.

Although they are known as the strongest demon race, there are still differences in power between vampires, and some of these differences are so great that they can be described as worlds apart.

Generally speaking, as beings that are immortal, the strength of vampires depends mainly on the number of years they have lived.

Because vampires can accumulate strong emotions and desires to gain ever greater power.

To put it simply, the stronger the memories a vampire has accumulated, the stronger their power.

This power is stored in their blood and is known as the memory of blood.

Blood is the source of a vampire's magic; it is both the medium used to summon familiars and the foundation of their existence.

The longer a vampire lives, the more blood they absorb and the more memories they acquire, in order to accumulate even more powerful magic.

Therefore, the True Ancestors of Vampires, as the progenitors of vampires, possess unparalleled power because they have lived longer than any other vampire and accumulated far more powerful blood memories than any other vampire.

The Fourth Progenitor, being an artificial vampire, needs to hold a ritual like the Feast of Flames during his resurrection. One of his purposes is to seize a large amount of memories, thereby increasing his own inherent accumulation time, creating powerful blood memories, and obtaining magic power that is no less than that of any other vampire.

Therefore, vampires from the older generation who are over two hundred years old generally possess far greater power than those from the younger generation, and their familiars are also more powerful and terrifying.

Of course, this is not absolute.

If they are offspring of powerful vampires, even the younger generation will inherit a portion of the blood memories of their predecessors, and will naturally possess power far greater than that of ordinary younger generations.

For example, the second-generation vampires, that is, the offspring of the three current progenitors, are born with powerful blood memories and familiars because they are the children of the progenitors and their partners. Even if they are not as old as the vampires of the old era, they are still stronger than many of the old-era vampires. In fact, depending on the individual, some of them can even show special abilities that are comparable to the progenitors, which is far beyond what vampires other than the progenitors can compare to.

Slightly inferior to these second-generation vampires are the third-generation vampires. They are generally those who have gained the recognition of the True Ancestor and thus received his "blood." Although they may not be his biological children, they possess power close to that of the second generation, and some are even stronger than the second generation.

If the second generation of vampires were royalty, then the third generation of vampires were elders, nobles who could obtain titles and hold important positions in the three great Night Empires.

The third generation of elders continued to reproduce, and their descendants also possessed great power. Even the most distant descendants had the ability to become nobles, no less than some ancient vampires.

If they are nobles from the old era, even if they are not as good as the elders of the third generation, they are certainly not far behind.

As the instructor of the Special Zone Security Force on Itogami Island, Nanami Nayuki not only possesses the title of "Witch of the Gap," but was also once known as the "Demon Slayer."

She once captured and even slaughtered demon criminals in Europe, and to this day she is still a fearsome demon hunter in Europe.

So don't be fooled by her small size and think she's just an ordinary demon-hunting official. In reality, her strength is definitely not inferior to some nobles of the old era, and even second-generation royalty and third-generation elders dare not underestimate her.

Given that she claimed a formidable being had come from the War King's domain, the other party must at least be a noble from the old era, which was Aize's conjecture.

Who would have thought that Nangong Nayue would say something like that.

"Someone even more troublesome than an ordinary nobleman?" Aize had some guesses in his mind, but on the surface he pretended not to know and said, "Could it be a third-generation elder, or even a second-generation member of the royal family?"

Nangong Nayue responded to Aize's question as follows.

"You'd better treat him as someone like that, or even someone more troublesome than that," Nangong Nayue said expressionlessly. "Anyway, I've given you my warning and reminder. If you're not afraid of death, just pretend you didn't hear it."

As she spoke, Nangong Nayue began to ruthlessly drive people away.

Seeing this, Aize didn't bother to ask any more questions. He waved his hand and decisively turned to leave.

Watching Aize's receding figure, Nangong Nayue remained silent for a long time before opening the laptop next to her and clicking on a video that was playing.

In the video, a girl with an ice-type familiar powerful enough to destroy the entire Itogami Island appears in the background. She first says something to the boy in front of her, and then takes action, causing the ice-type demon bird behind him to suddenly attack.

However, the boy ignored the blow that was enough to crush the entire street. Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging forward while letting the blow land on him and bounce off with a thud.

Then, the boy slapped the terrifying beast away.

"Clap."

Nangong Nayue pressed the pause button, stopping the video from playing.

"It can even ignore the familiars of True Ancestors, and casually scatter True Ancestor-level familiars..."

Nangong Nayue clicked her tongue with a heavy expression.

"What kind of monster have those bastards at the Lion King Organization been raising?"

Nangong Nayue could already foresee how lively the island would become next.

"This is... such a hassle."

…………

On the other side, Aize, having left the faculty office building, was walking through the corridor toward the higher education building.

"Nobles of the War King's Domain..."

Aize walked along, lost in thought.

"Aurora has only just begun to show signs of awakening, and I've only just arrived on this island, yet I'm already so eager to come over?"

In Aize's memory, there seems to be only one person who would do such a thing.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."

Aize expressed the same sentiment as Nangong Nayue.

no way.

Even after arriving in this world, I still can't get rid of these battle maniacs.

Aize was somewhat helpless.

In previous worlds, Aize also encountered a number of battle maniacs, but there are probably more battle maniacs in this world than in the previous worlds.

The reason is simple: those vampires are just too idle and too bored.

Those who are neither old nor dead will, after a long period of time, mostly lose interest in many forms of entertainment and things, and thus suffer from boredom.

If it's just an ordinary vampire, it's alright. Although they are exaggerated to be immortal, vampires are not completely immortal. Once their brains, which control magic, and their hearts, which control blood circulation, are severely damaged, even the old generation will die. However, if it's a second or third generation vampire, because their power is already very close to that of the true ancestors, they have a chance to survive even if their brains and hearts are damaged.

Needless to say, the true progenitors of vampires can be resurrected even if their brains are smashed and their hearts are pierced; they are lonely beings living in eternity.

They have basically lost interest in the outside world, finding excitement and entertainment only in battle.

In other words, vampires from the old era or earlier are generally likely to be battle maniacs.

Especially the true progenitors of vampires, they are all incredibly entertaining and pleasure-seeking individuals. Just thinking about encountering them makes Azer feel troubled.

If the War King's Domain noble who took action this time is the person Aize imagines, then as Nangong Nayue said, it might indeed be more troublesome than encountering second- or third-generation vampires. Because that person is a complete battle maniac, and once he sets his sights on his prey, he might be even harder to shake off than the likes of Vali, Kenpachi Zaraki, and Tony.

"With so many forms of entertainment in the world, why insist on seeking excitement and pleasure from battle?"

Aize has lived for nearly a hundred years, and he simply cannot understand the thoughts of these people.

"Could it be that Athena predicted I would change because of this?"

Aize suddenly remembered this.

Aize tried to think about what it would be like if he lived for hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of years.
"I guess nothing will change?"

Aize muttered to himself.

After all, he was different from others. Not only had he lost the concept of age, but his mentality and mental state were also forever fixed at the age stage when he entered the Fantasy Library.

Perhaps he will change some of his ideas in the future and become more mature with increased experience, but at least his mindset and mental outlook will not change.

Therefore, he can say with certainty...

"Even if I don't hate fighting, I will never become a battle maniac who only cares about fighting."

He is interested in and enjoys fighting, but at the same time, he also likes good food and traveling. Without the pressure of life, he has also become somewhat fond of flirting with girls.

Recalling his previous "reckless" experiences, Aize even had an idea.

"Isn't it about time I started dating someone and finally escaped being single all my life?"

With that thought in mind, Aize arrived at the high school building, went to Class 1B, and entered the classroom.

But as soon as Aize entered the classroom, he noticed something was wrong.

Suddenly, the students in the classroom, who had been having a lively discussion, fell silent and stared at Aize with strange looks.

These gazes contained curiosity, doubt, strangeness, scrutiny, and even envy, jealousy, and resentment.

The latter mainly came from the boys in the class, while the girls' gazes were mostly filled with the emotions mentioned earlier.

"What's going on here?"

Aize was immediately puzzled as well.

It wasn't until Aize returned to his seat that anyone spoke to him.

"Hey, Ai, you've finally arrived!"

Yase Motoki, who was sitting in front of Akatsuki Castle, turned around and greeted Aize with a frivolous smile on his face.

"morning."

Asagi sat on the other side of Akatsuki Castle, saying something to Aize without turning her head, while her hands were busy on her laptop, typing at lightning speed.

"Humph……"

Xiao Gucheng seemed to still be sulking, and didn't give Aize a friendly look.

"Good morning you guys."

Aize nodded to the three of them.

"Why did Yue-chan call you over? Is she going to give you a lecture?"

Yase Motoki asked with a smile, acting as if he were having a casual chat, but in reality, he was subtly trying to get information out of her.

As an over-adaptive ability user, Motoki Yase's ability is quite rare, as it involves the manipulation of airflow.

By manipulating airflow, Motoki Yase can do many things, such as amplifying air vibrations and concentrating sounds traveling through the atmosphere to his ears.

This capability is well-suited for surveillance activities, and Motoki Yase usually uses the earpiece he wears around his neck to achieve his eavesdropping goals.

He can even amplify his hearing and possess resolution comparable to sophisticated radar, allowing him to observe sounds as if they were seen.

This ability, used solely for listening to sound reflections, does not cause any interference or disturbance to the outside world. Therefore, even the most perceptive person would not be able to detect Yase Motoki's eavesdropping.

Motoki Yase's surveillance range extends to the entire Ayakai Academy.

He then set up a monitoring network covering the entire Caihai Academy, constantly listening to every move within the school.

Unfortunately, although his abilities were difficult to detect, they could not be hidden from Nangong Nayue, who knew him inside and out.

Therefore, Motoki Yase basically dared not eavesdrop on Natsuki Minamiya's office, lest he be punished afterward.

Thanks to this, he had no idea what Aize and Nangong Nayue talked about or did in the office.

Since that's the case, he naturally had to try to get some information out of Aize.

Unfortunately, Motoki Yase didn't know that Aize also knew a lot about him.

"It's nothing, just some transfer paperwork that needs to be completed," Aize casually brushed it off, then quickly changed the subject, saying, "What's wrong with the people in my class? Why are they looking at me with those weird eyes?"

The one who answered Aize's question was not Motoki Yase, but Asagi Aiba.

No, Asagi Aoba didn't answer Aize's question either.

"What is your relationship with the Holy Maiden of the Central Region?"

Asagi stopped typing on the keyboard, turned her head and looked at Aize with great interest.

The students in the class had actually been secretly watching this place all along, and as soon as they heard Aiba Asagi ask about it, they all perked up their ears.

"The Holy Maiden of the Middle School?" Aize paused, then asked in surprise, "You mean... Natsune Yase?"

"Besides her, who else could be given such an exaggerated title?" Lan Yuqiancong glared at the boys in the class, then said, "Judging from your expression, you do know that child, right?"

"If we're just acquaintances..." Aize asked疑惑地, "What's wrong with her?"

Only then did Aiba Asagi answer Aize's initial question.

"She just came to see you."
