Chapter 171: A great increase
Thus, the days continued to pass quickly.
Matt and Isla had set out to swallow the desire to know how much power they had and would see at the end of the 10-day training. But this training really taught them how difficult it was to become a powerful person in the vampire world.
Especially Matt, who came from being a human who just had to level up to become strong.
At that time, he had researched a lot about the Fantasy Worlds from which those who attacked him came, but he couldn't find much. All those who attacked him didn't know much about the worlds they came from; they only knew that they were locked up and allowed to get stronger using a system like the hunters.
Still, when he raided one of the great dungeons of the Earth, he got a few books that mentioned something about it. There was a world of difference between the mention of how those who used mana became strong and what he was now experiencing.
Those who use mana really don't need too much to become strong; although they push their bodies to the limit, it's not that much of an exaggeration. If we take, for example, the human race, we can say that the human race is a perfect vessel for mana, and mana can be instilled in their bodies naturally; that is why they can become so strong in less than 100 years.
But vampires are different. Although they have a perfect synchrony with blood, blood is not the mana in the environment. They need a long, much more complicated process associated with pain and mortal danger so that the blood they consume can become part of their strength.
That just means that vampires work harder to achieve strength than humans. But maybe that's why vampires can dominate this world.
Because they try the hardest, though that's just Matt's assumption and nothing more.
He still doesn't understand his own body; how will he understand this whole world?
Still, what was certain was that he had never strived in this way to reach the heights he once reached on Earth, so he had some basis for believing it.
And amidst pain and suffering, as their bones broke and mended, as their flesh was torn to shreds, they spent ten days training.
Both persevered through these days until it was finally time to test their powers.
Isla smiled as she clutched the ball in her hand.
"Matt, I'll do it first. I think you'll be surprised by the result."
She immediately imbued her vampiric power upon the vampiric ball.
This ball slightly grazed glowed...
-6,500 Vampiric Power.
A number floated above it and made Isla jump for joy.
"Hahahahahaha, look, Matt!" She said happily, showing him.
"That's 1,300 Vampire Power in just ten days, Matt!" She was pleased about this and couldn't stop laughing out of happiness.
Matt was also surprised, but he looked happy.
"Congratulations, Isla. I think you're slowly getting closer and closer to me." He spoke.
Isla couldn't help but look at that number with happiness, but her eyes also showed some disbelief.
Just a short time ago, she was striving to surpass 2,500 power; how had she been reborn so fast and was now above 6,000 power? That was fantastic growth.
How much power would she have in 1 year? Would she surpass 10,000 before the age of 25?
She was amazed and anxious about this.
Even Matt was; he grabbed the vampire ball soon after and tested himself.
He had only a rough estimate of how much power he had gained in the last ten days and thought it was amazing, so he wanted to see for himself.
Isla had increased from 5,200 to 6,500 in 10 days.
Considering the breaks they had to take that were over 5,000 power, it was a considerable increase.
Although they obviously can't repeat that for a whole year, earning such amounts every ten days, earning it from time to time, was still amazing.
That was why he wanted to see how much he had earned this time.
And the vampire ball didn't keep him waiting.
This one glowed brightly and soon showed a staggering result.
-9,600 of Vampire Power.
'...2,500 power in just ten days. This training is really effective; with the previous training, I barely increased a few a day.' He thought.
Although he seemed to be able to gain 100 power or more per academic training, the truth was that the academic training that the Academy recommended for him was no longer effective.
Although, at times, he managed to earn over 100, it was only a few times when he took the academic training written for him by Reagan Cooper and the King, and that was until he surpassed 7,000 power.
From then on, it took him two full days to reach 7,100.
That showed him the incredible difficulty of increasing power above 7,000 power.
But it also demonstrated the enormous effectiveness of this training.
Although it was difficult and excruciating, the result was amazing.
Isla was shocked after seeing this, and a big smile bloomed on her face soon after the initial surprise had passed.
"That's amazing, Matt! The difference between us 15 days ago was 1,900 power, but now it's already over 3,000!" She said in amazement and began to congratulate him continuously with joy.
Isla did not feel uncomfortable this time. Although she could see that Matt got almost twice as strong as she did in the same period of time, thus increasing the difference, she still felt that if she had the right mindset, she could keep up with him, increasing her strength with every step.
It was because of this that she was brimming with joy and happiness.
They both were.
So soon after, they dressed once again to go out.
The clothes they wore were stylish for both of them.
Since Isla started following Matt more frequently, her tastes in clothes had changed slightly. She now liked him to see that she was more beautiful than any of those who sought him out at the Academy, so she tended to choose elegant clothes that enhanced her excellent figure and physical beauty.
Matt didn't care about that. He doesn't want to team up with anyone who doesn't prove to him that they deserve it, and for now, the only ones who have proven it have been Alice and Isla, so he does not need to bring anyone else onto his team or look the other way.
To him, these two women were just his teammates.
One was his bloody partner who would help him become strong, and the other maybe would be in the future, but he didn't see them in any other light.
They were beautiful if he had to say so, but Charlotte was more than enough and perfect for him. He didn't need to look at someone else with the same eyes he looked at Charlotte.
Therefore, he did not consider Isla's actions important; he was sure she would realize his intentions someday.
So, both left the room radiant and full of energy.
But they were surprised as soon as they came out because a beautiful woman was waiting for them there.
She looked up when she heard the door and smiled slightly.
"Matthew Dietrich."
Matt frowned.
"Miss Sophia Murphy, long time no see." He replied respectfully.
