Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

The directors were surprised by this and stared at Matt from the stands.

"This guy seems to rank high in control." Said one of them, and another nodded.

"That's right, I heard he's an S-Rank. Still, he doesn't seem to be such a simple S-Rank. There are several S-Ranks in the arenas, and they don't control vampiric power as well as he does." He replied, and several others voiced their words to that effect.

The first one who spoke frowned slightly as he looked at him.

'He was the one who was attacked the night before... Are they targeting him specifically? We can't let such a talented guy die...' He thought and looked sideways.

"Where is Professor Reagan?" this head director asked doubtfully.

One behind him approached, "Sir, Professor Reagan was called by the King. He is not around right now." He said in his ear, causing the head director to be slightly surprised, though he nodded in the end.

'...Reagan Cooper... I wonder what kind of status he really has. It's a bit strange that he's only wanted to train first-years since he came to this place.' Thought the head director, as a new topic added to his worries.

'Sigh... Forget it; investigating people's secrets is not wise, and that guy seems to have good contacts in the First Academy; let's better focus on this kid and his protection for now.' Thought the head director and looked at the arena again.

The fights went off without a hitch. Isla's opponent could not defeat her when she started fighting as Matt had taught her, although he gave her an exhausting battle.

So, she began to recover once the fight was over and waited patiently for all the battles that were taking place to finish.

Little by little, the battles were ending, and finally, the referees again started to call out different names, announcing the opponents they would have to see who would be the best 8...

"Matthew Dietrich versus Paul Brown!"

"Isla Moore versus Harry Brown!"

Soon, those four names were announced.

Matt frowned when he heard this. He already knew who Paul and Harry were.

'Tsk, tough luck for Isla; how the hell is she going to get the big guy out of those two?' He thought and looked towards a specific spot in the arena.

Two people stood together on the other side of the arena, smiling, staring at them.

Harry Bown was the big guy and the most powerful of that group, one of the strongest in the combat arena.

His power was recently verified, and he has approximately 4,500 vampiric power. As a third-year student, he is pretty strong.

While Paul Brown has a similar power to Liam Brown, whom Matt had just defeated. All of them are blood brothers.

Among the remaining opponents, Paul was one of the easiest ones Isla could get, but she was unlucky enough to get one of the toughest, making her feel slightly pressured.

Also, the smile these two were revealing made Matt a little worried.

"If you see it gets tough, get out of the arena quickly. That big guy is powerful, and I can see that he focuses on strength, so his punches are dangerous." Matt said as he moved toward the arena, where it was his turn to fight.

Isla nodded, "Alright, Matt. Good luck." She said, smiling, and moved to her fighting arena as well.

Harry's huge body was so large that it almost wholly hid Isla's petite and beautiful figure.

"This is pretty bad for the girl... Look, she managed to get inside the top 16 with so little power, and it's kind of amazing, but it looks like her luck ran out..." Said many of those present and sighed.

Still, Isla turned a deaf ear to this and simply looked at her opponent.

'Power does not reside in the greatness of the body...' Isla thought as she took a deep breath to calm herself.

Soon, her mind was at ease.

"Such a cute little butterfly like you; it's a pity that you're following a little bastard like that. That's why you'll have to suffer a little, but don't think I hate you; if you feel better, you can come follow me, and I'll treat you well." Harry said.

Isla frowned as she heard him say this, but still didn't respond.

She waited for the moment when the referee announced the start of the fight, and as soon as she heard his words, she quickly ran to meet this big guy.

He sighed, "Tsk, what a woman with such bad manners." He said mockingly.

Just then, Isla swung her sword forcefully at him to attack him head-on...

*CLANK*

A sound as if two swords were clashing rang out at that moment, startling Isla.

'What?' She thought, thinking that this guy had pulled out a sword, but she was wrong.

This big guy was carrying a protective item in his arms, so the sound was produced by the clash of the sword and this item.

'It's dangerous.' She thought quickly and tried to pull back, but then Harry made an unexpected move for her.

He grabbed the sword tightly and pulled it towards him. The blade went through the side of his side, and Isla was pulled in the process by that powerful force.

Then he raised his knee forcefully and punched her stomach.

"Buagh...!" Blood shot out of Isla's mouth with a single movement that didn't even look that powerful, and she fell backward in shock.

'So powerful...' She thought, trying to breathe.

Matt frowned when he heard that and looked over to that place.

His vision coincided with the moment when Harry ran back to Isla and lifted her into the air with a strong kick in the same place where he had kneed her, then gave her another decisive blow that sent her crashing into the sand.

'...He knows she's not as strong as any of us, but this bastard is using all his strength, even if it doesn't look like it.' Matt thought as he saw the power of the fists.

Still, just then, he saw Harry leap into the air again and put both legs up like a spear, lunging towards Isla like that.

That made Matt surprised at what this guy was doing; even the directors were surprised.

'An attack full of malice!' the directors thought, and one of them even prepared to move.

'Still not an attack outside the rules...' He thought but clenched his fist.

If they saw that it turned into an out-of-rules attack, this big guy would have to pay for trying to tarnish the academy's reputation...

Even so, the attack soon hit Isla's stomach, causing her eyes to pop open and a large gush of Blood to shoot out of her mouth and several of the orifices in her body.

This attack could not kill her, but several of the bones in her body were broken in the process, and she lost a large amount of Blood...
