Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 56: The Battle of Halls and great rewards

He couldn't hold it in and soon started coughing, "Cough, cough..."

Still, seeing everyone watching him, he quickly returned to his usual attitude.

But internally, he was in tremendous shock at the power of this woman.

'Impossible! She had less power than I did not long ago!' he thought, looking at her sideways in shock, 'Since when did she become so strong!? Shit!' he shouted in his mind and couldn't help but feel a pressure girdle on his throat.

Still, seeing that Professor Reagan Cooper was the same way, he sighed, 'Seems to be unusual...' He thought.

Maybe he'd go into cardiac arrest if he learned about Matt's power.

Still, he wouldn't find out, as Reagan Cooper was too surprised by Isla's power and smiled happily.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect my class to have three geniuses this time. That's really something great; you've tried really hard, girl. Keep it up." He said, smiling happily and sat back down after seeing this.

The smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

"That being the case, I think we can fight for a good position among the freshmen this time. Don't worry, even if we can't get the top positions, as long as we beat most of the freshmen, our goal will be completed, and we will be given greater resources." Reagan Cooper said, smiling.

His words surprised Matt a little, who looked at him doubtfully, "Why wouldn't we be able to get first place?" he asked doubtfully.

Reagan Cooper nodded toward him, "The Battle of the Halls is an all-against-all battle. That also implies that the sophomore and junior classrooms will face off in the final battle against our freshman classrooms. It's an unequal battle in that sense, but those are the rules." He replied, surprising Matt and Isla.

'I didn't expect it to be a battle like that... Although that's even better for me.' Matt thought. Though he didn't reveal anything on his face, he simply nodded.

"I see, so we'll be participating with a target in mind?" He asked, and Reagan Cooper nodded. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Naturally, our goal is to be the best freshman hall. You may think this battle to be the top freshman hall is meaningless, but the truth is very important because it has several important prizes." He said and then pulled out a small sheet of paper.

"Everyone who participates and manages to win the first combat will receive a rank in the army. This is a small rank, but it is important because they will give you payment for it and also because you will be able to work there once you graduate, in case you don't have a job. From there, they will give you different rewards as you continue to earn.

It will increase your rank in the military, and they give you huge sums of money, plus blood, practice books, vampire rings, etc."

"Usually, first years manage to win two fights before falling before second or third years; that's always the case, but with winning two fights, the rewards will be great. And if for some reason you come in First Place in the tournament, the reward they will give you will be worth up to 10 thousand Pounds." He said and smiled.

"Well, there's another great thing. The bouts you win will accumulate, and you'll be able to participate once again as a sophomore next year, should you still be here. The bouts you win next year will stack up with the ones you manage to win this year, so the reward then will be greater."

"There is something else important that can help you, Matt. If you were to get first place, you would receive the power to go to the First Academy and enter the Academic Library, which only the Heirs and other very high-level people in the First Academy enter. There, you might find some information on what you were asking about earlier." He said, making Matt immediately interested.

Rewards worth 10,000 pounds were enough to make him want to participate because he had sold so much of the material he had and had barely collected almost 30,000 pounds, so he realized that raising money was difficult.

But, if you add that he could research inside a Library as important as the central Library of the Vampire Academy, it was a win everywhere he looked!

That's why he nodded, trying to resist the urge to smile.

"I'll do my best in the tournament, Professor," Matt replied, and Reagan Cooper nodded.

"I heard there was one more prize, but even I don't know what it is. They've kept it hidden all this time, but at the First Academy, they gave it out too, so I can attest that there is a hidden reward." He said and then rose from his seat.

"Well, it's time for you to get back. Don't forget to train to keep up." He said and then looked at Matt and Isla, "The battle of the halls will start in two days, so you have a few hours to return to your strongest state and fully recover. We'll talk later, come back." He said, and the three students left, each going their separate ways.

Matt paid no attention to Caspian because he didn't need to. He was his target, and he was sure he would kill him, but he couldn't raise suspicion on him.

'I'll create the opportunity to grab you solitary, you bastard. Go get your neck ready for that moment.' Matt thought as his mind began to scheme around this.

Matt and Isla returned to the room, and after eating, they went to the training site.

"Matt, do you think you can take on those third-year guys? In the battle of the mountains, they were the only ones who didn't get hurt. They're tough." Isla spoke suddenly, trying to think if there was a way for Matt to get first place in the tournament that was just around the corner.

Matt smiled and nodded at her, "I'm sure I can take them on. Do you want to see what my current power is? As well as yours, mine also skyrocketed." He said, smiling.

Surprised, She stared at him, 'Last time, he was very close to 4,000; could he have surpassed it?' She thought and became slightly anxious to see it.

"Show me!" she replied tenderly, and Matt pulled out the vampire ball.

Soon, its power was revealed, causing Isla to choke on her own saliva.

"Cough... Cough...!" she coughed as she looked at this and moved closer to see, "That much power!?" She asked in shock and stared at Matt.

"You...how do you do it? You haven't trained these days; I've seen it with my own eyes... So how did you do it?" she asked in shock, and Matt smiled, shrugging his shoulders.

Even he would like to know the answer to that question.

"Maybe my body is special. Don't worry about it, and let's train; we don't have much time to waste." He replied.

Isla stared at him momentarily but nodded with a sigh, "You've left me behind already, Matt. But I'll try my best to catch up so I won't be a burden to you." She said, and a look of determination formed on her face as she looked around the training room.

It was now ready for the training to begin...
