Chapter 118: An Order of the King
There are workout rooms you can rent to do it in, with machines they use that dump blood at an alarming rate. According to the books, Matt calculated that the speed of the blood thrown by these machines can be as fast as a bullet.
What\'s better is that it increases effectiveness if done with the bloody partner.
\'There\'s even that practice forbidden among vampires, but which seems to be very good and requires a lot of blood.\' Matt thought, remembering a particular bonding skill that was said to be the greatest a bloody couple could achieve...
There were so many possibilities up for him right now with such amounts of blood that he even felt a little overwhelmed.
After this, they cleaned the room, discarding the bones left and leaving it clean again, but with plenty of blood.
A while later, Matt, Isla, and Alice decided to return to the Academy.
The overflowing happiness on their faces revealed that something too good had happened to them, which was normal.
For some reason, though, Alice and Isla felt a little uncomfortable.
As they sat outdoors in the evening before arriving at the Academy, Alice decided to talk.
"Matt, I think it\'s best if you get the lion\'s share of my blood. I don\'t feel quite right knowing you did the most work on all the missions so far." Alice said, smiling slightly in embarrassment.
Matt looked at her doubtfully, but then Isla spoke up.
"That\'s right, Matt. Splitting evenly is for when the work is equal among the group. But from slaying the dragon to exterminating that group of assassins, you did all those fights. I think you\'re due more." She said.
Matt looked at them a little but smiled.
"If it\'s something you girls want, then fine. Anyway, I\'m going to need you two to get strong, too, so I can train properly from now on." He replied.
Both nodded then with a happy smile and after that, they continued to talk about different things.
A day later, they returned to the Academy.
They had to attend classes these days, so Matt and Isla reappeared among the class attendees.
These days, the teacher who taught them was not Reagan Cooper, as he was still absent. Two or three assistant professors were teaching them while Reagan Cooper returned.
Perhaps that is why the classes were a bit boring.
During those days, Alice did not return to the First Academy. She was staying with Matt for fear that he would be assaulted during the night by a group of bastards and would not be able to defend himself.
Thus, two days passed.
Today, Matt and Isla went to the classroom as usual, but the classroom was in an uproar early in the morning.
Even though there were very few students in this classroom, it was still difficult to hear the voices of the students because not only were they present, but there was a crowd outside, looking in.
This was due to a beautiful young lady standing beside Matt, talking and laughing with him.
About 20 minutes ago, the professor came here and announced that Heiress Alice Allen was coming to the Academy today to supervise everything happening in this Second Academy. Many thought that she was looking for Subordinates, so many of those who were not Subordinates of an Heir ran here to see if they were lucky.
\'I think I underestimated the subordinate position, but why are they looking for it so much? I\'ve been the subordinate for a while now, and I still don\'t understand the benefits of being a subordinate.\' Matt thought. In fact, his thinking was so evident that many looked at him as if he were stupid.
And Alice smiled sheepishly, \'Looks like I need to tell him.\' She thought.
Still, Matt wasn\'t bothered by the crowd. He was whispering with Alice and Isla while receiving jealous looks from many people.
From Caspian, for example.
\'This fucking bastard, how dare you openly flirt with such a beautiful woman like Alice? You\'re not worthy, you bastard!\' he shouted in his mind, trying to convince himself that he was better than Matt.
Only he knew the suffering he had gone through since losing to Matt.
No matter what, he would never accept being less than Matt. Which is why he had sworn to himself that he was going to murder Matt.
\'And that bastard Harry, where the hell did he go?\' He thought to himself, complaining over and over again.
He soon averted his gaze from looking at this thing that bothered him so much as he vowed in his mind to make Alice and Isla his women someday.
Matt naturally noticed that this guy was glaring at him with hatred, but he didn\'t think anything of it.
"Alice, why did you decide to go out today? You\'ve caused quite a stir at the Academy with your presence here." Matt said, smiling, and she sighed.
"It\'s boring being cooped up all day. I wanted to get some fresh air, but I didn\'t expect to cause such a ruckus." She replied, and Matt nodded.
"I didn\'t expect you to be so famous either." He replied, and she smiled sheepishly.
"Among the Heirs, I am the least famous. You might understand the difference between us if you saw how the First Academy gets when that woman walks by." She replied, smiling slightly.
"That woman? Oh, Miss Sophia?" he asked, and she looked at him doubtfully.
"You know her?" she asked, and Matt nodded.
"Isla is a subordinate of hers; I met her when I went to the First Academy." He replied, leaving her stunned.
Alice looked at Isla in shock, "You\'re that woman\'s subordinate?" She asked, and Isla nodded. She turned slightly red with embarrassment.
"That\'s right, I was saved by her many years ago." Isla replied, and Alice was surprised.
\'Unbelievable. I didn\'t think that woman was still looking for more subordinates.\' she thought with surprise.
"Is it strange that Isla is her subordinate?" Matt asked as a strange light flashed through Alice\'s eyes. She smiled at him.
"Her power is tremendous, Matt. Even I admire her a little for it. Plus, she has a special way of seeking out her subordinates." She replied.
Matt looked at her doubtfully, but a commotion occurred outside just as he was about to ask.
"What\'s going on?" several such shouts came.
"Please step aside; the Army is here; all students, step aside!"
Soon, the students stepped aside from the door and looked at a large number of army people, led by a burly man who looked a bit scary to them.
\'Oliver Jones?\' Matt thought as soon as he saw him.
Oliver Jones walked over to where Matt stood.
He pulled out a small written scroll, which bore the Royal seal, and spoke.
"By the King\'s orders, Matthew Dietrich, Isla Moore, and Alice Allen are to appear at the castle." His voice sounded firm and stiff, and a high-pitched tone characterized it as he read the only words written on that scroll bearing the Royal seal.
