576 Returning to the academy after a long Sunday

If Mimi’s father became overly suspicious, then a new problem might arise. Only fate could determine the outcome, and all they could do was act cautiously.

Later, after the Pocket Cabin became empty and was stored, seven women walked to the mansion. Ester, Lupa, and Iris walked on one side, while Lilith, Sofy, and Mimi walked on the other. In the middle of the group walked Sakura with an exhausted Vincent being carried by her.

The loud dining hall was full of cheerful people eating delicious food. Aceon, Ganni, Russo, and even Bessy were present enjoying the Sunday dinner.

However, the dining hall didn’t remain loud for a long time. As soon as the seven women and Vincent being carried by Sakura entered the dining hall, the surprised residents and guests stopped while their eyes could only look at them.

The show of their unexpected entrance caught everyone by surprise. A strong woman was carrying Vincent while six others were beside him as if they were his bodyguards.

Sofy was acting nervous and strange, catching their attention after a couple of seconds. They believed it was a warning at first, but after watching Sofy nervously scratching her neck, they noticed the slave collar tattoo was gone.

Beside Sofy was a busty beauty they had never seen before. She smiled friendly and looked both kind and outgoing. Mimi didn’t look dangerous. Only her sudden appearance made them question what was happening.

“Everyone. May I have your attention, please.” Vincent said to gather their attention on himself.

“This is Mimi. She is a vampire who traveled the world, and she didn’t have someone to offer blood she liked. After meeting her today and liking my blood, Mimi has accepted to become one of us.|

.....

Vincent looked at the nervous Sofy and pointed at her neck. “Mimi had one powerful cleansing spell, and as you can all see, Sofy is not a slave anymore. However, Sofy was never named, so she is still Sofy and still working as a maid like before.”

Mimi grinned and said, “I know everyone thinks vampires are scary, but Vincent’s blood is the only blood I will drink. As Vincent’s woman, it is a pleasure to meet all of you. ”

“Vincent’s woman?”

“Aren’t vampires difficult to meet?”

“She looks normal.”

“Yep. I am a little bit diffrent. I will puke anything I eat, so I can only drink the blood of my preferred choice for food and drink anything like an ordinary human.” Mimi responded while enjoying the attention.

Ester noticed the number of confused gazes landing on Mimi was making her giggle instead of being responsible and explaining the matter slowly. Ester could tell everyone who didn’t know Mimi couldn’t tell if they should be wary of her or not.

Ester went beside Sofy and whispered, “Why don’t you change the mood of the room?”

*Gulp* Sofy nodded and briefly chanted, “Water Splash.”

A ball of water appeared in front of her hand. The water became thin and extended about one meter tall similar to a small snake made out of water. The water waved its slender body, similar to a greeting, and became a small ball afterward.

Sofy condensed the water into a droplet and let the droplet fall on the floor. “I became a water mage after I stopped being a slave. Now we can drink all the clean, fresh water we desire.”

The children clapped and requested to show more party tricks. On the other hand, the astonished adults couldn’t believe their eyes.

Sofy not only had awakened one of the rarest elements, but she proved to have complete mastery over her element. Additionally, the chant was already at a high level. Only the potency seemed lacking.

Maira stood up from her chair and quickly approached Sofy. “I heard from Eliara and Fliara how you have a Mana Body, but I didn’t expect you to control your mana so efficiently after awakening. It appears the books were right. An elf’s body and Mana Body are the best mage foundation for greatness.”

“Should it be difficult?” Sofy questioned while tilting her head. “It’s as easy as controlling my whip like I want to. Isn’t mana something that needs to be controlled? Or do I need to let it dominate me instead?”

“No...” Maria didn’t know what to say.

Maria felt a genius mana manipulator was in front of her, yet she only knew how to become stronger through hard work. Even if Maria also has Mana Body, Sofy had both the genes of an elf and the tenacity to dominate.

Aceon and Tiffi approached next. They introduced themselves to Mimi, and to everyone’s surprise, Mimi’s greeting felt so friendly that she almost won their hearts immediately.

Everyone took turns standing up and greeting Mimi one after the other. Even though she was a stranger, Mimi’s carefree and outgoing personality won everyone’s hearts after a few sentences and friendly smiles.

Only one person didn’t go to introduce herself to Mimi. She only went to congratulate Sofy as a fellow elf and returned to her seat.

Jun Ye Rim looked at Vincent with a displeased expression before leaving while giving the impression of being betrayed by him. After being invited to become his seventh woman, two more were added before she told Vincent her response.

The usual Sunday feast resumed when Mimi’s introductions and Sofy’s congratulations were over. Later, they met in front of the entrance to return back to the academy.

Aceon pulled Vincent to the side and mentioned how he would try to get people to understand how the Lionheart family is good and honorable.

Vincent and Kazumi felt reassured after hearing Aceon trying to help in his own way. If Aceon could start rumors in Vincent’s favor, any positive word could help change the minds of people and be valuable to counter malicious rumors.

After Vincent thanked Aceon for his support, Bessy approached to give Vincent the usual scroll payment rent.

Ganni and Russo approached afterward, and they promised to provide more protection. They also joked about how they do not know where to look when talking to Mimi, saying how her chest is as large as her personality.

Vincent laughed, and after exchanging some small talk, he prepared to leave. Vincent sat on the driver’s passenger seat and looked at the people standing in front of the entrance.

Vincent smiled warmly after feeling motivated to keep moving forward. He saw Sakura and Mimi waving at him. “Let’s meet soon. ” Vincent told them.

Sofy took this as the cue to lead the horses to leave. The carriage left, and everyone started heading inside. Aceon also left after talking with Maid Xu for a while.

Sakura and Mimi went to the workshop after Mimi wanted to see Sakura’s work. The vampire girl’s eyes beamed with interest and awe.

“These works are so flawless that I can’t believe they aren’t on the market.” Mimi went to the table and lifted a small stick. “Even this stick with a tiny magic core fragment can pass as a makeshift basic wand that can probably see five uses until breaking.”

Sakura blushed. “Thank you for the compliment, but that is my current progress. I am still far away from using more ratio of a magic core, and I don’t know how until I can attach one complete magic core.”

“Hey, don’t put yourself down. I saw some of the dwarves work, and I must say, they have the skill, but they are also rough with their work.” Mimi placed the stick on the table and continued, “Your work is done with more care than theirs, and it shows by being rewarded with fantastic products.”

Sakura felt motivated to work harder. She looked at her worktable, and the urge to work before sleeping got the better of her. However, Mimi noticed Sakura’s intention and started chatting.

The two women spent a long time chatting before Sakura went to sleep in the workshop’s bed, and Mimi left to sleep in her inn room.

*Lusterfall Noble Academy – Halfway*

“Vincent... I didn’t expect you would accept Mimi so quickly.” Honestly, said Sofy.

“Didn’t you accept her too?”

Soft shook her head. “It’s because you had accepted her. I could see that the others were wary of Mimi, but when you accepted her and acted as if we had known each other for a long time, they agreed to give Mimi a second chance.”

*Woof* [I made sure the Mimi wasn’t going to take my place.]

“Is that how everyone felt?... Mimi was an unknown person that could beat us if she wanted to. I tried to solve the situation when I saw she was open to negotiation.”

*Woof* [I will become stronger for my mate. Mimi promised to help me learn adaptions faster with her blood manipulation or something like that.]

“Really, Lupa?” Vincent questioned with great interest.

*Woof* [~Yep~]

[This is interesting news. I wonder how strong Lupa can become when she can use Energy Flow.] Kazumi wondered curiously.

Vincent looked at his hand, and his status window appeared. The stats Vincent gained weren’t half bad, but because he had to take multiple rests, the next potion would give him less percentage of improvement than the previous dose.
