Chapter 55 - Request To Instruct (1/2)
”How is this possible? She defeated me in three clashes without even moving from her spot. Moreover, I could feel that she was not using her full strength!” As the blood drained from Max's pale face, his handsome appearance contorted, making him seem like a dead corpse.
He could not accept such a shameful outcome.
Especially, when he was the one to issue the challenge.
Not only did he get defeated, but he was also crushed in such a way, where he could not even raise his head.
Sailles looked at the pale-faced vampire with amusement.
Who was it that was asking for a beating just a little while ago? Now that he got what he desired, he could not even raise his head?
Feeling funny inside, she turned her gaze away, afraid that she would not be able to control herself and let loose the laugh building in her stomach from seeing his miserable appearance.
”Well, you are defeated. What are you going to do now? Ask for a rematch?” She playfully asked, glancing at the youth from the corner of her eye.
”No. I accept my defeat and request for your instructions.” Immediately kneeling on his knees, the request the young vampire made did not only catch Sailles by surprise but all of the spectating vampires were surprised by his sudden action and request.
”He wants her to train him? Did I just hear Max asking for the girl to train him?” The vampire girl who admired the young vampire screamed in shout, her voice startling awake the other dazed vampires.
”I heard the same thing! Max really asked for the girl to train him!”
”Is he really going to train under her?”
There were many raising the same question as they looked in shock and disbelief, not able to come to terms with the fact that their most admired packmate was kneeling before a stranger, requesting mentorship.
But there were also many who felt that the young vampire's step was reasonable and even quite beneficial.
”But if you look at it, it is actually not a bad idea. Max will not only grow stronger, but in the future, no one would be able to challenge him as his master would be someone close with the supreme elder. Moreover, being defeated by his own master would not be as shameful”
”Yes. That is not a bad idea. He could grow strong, build connection with the Supreme Elder, and wash his shame of being defeated by claiming the one to defeat him as his master.”
”Only Max would be able to come up with such a solid method.”
However, there were also others who were thinking from a different perspective.
”Hey, do you think we could also ask the girl to train us as well? I actually think that she is not worse than the official instructors in the vampire academy training hall. And besides, we would only be benefiting ourselves by growing stronger. If someone as proud as Max can get her to instruct him, then why can we not?”
”I also think that we should seek her as an instructor. After all, we could only grow stronger with a strong instructor. And if we even fail to grow any stronger after taking her tutorship, it is not like we would be losing out on anything.”
”You are absolutely correct! Since we are not losing out on anything, why can we not ask her to instruct us as well? After all, we need to be strong in order to stand firm in the world of the strong.”
”Yes, let's go!”
Without hesitation, the other young vampires in Max's group gathered behind Max in front of Sailles and kneeled without hesitation.
”We humble fledglings request you to please give us your guidance as well!” They all chorused at the same time, further astonishing the already surprised vampires.
Luke watched everything unfold with an indifferent expression. However, his heart rate was rapidly beating in nervous excitement.
If Sailles accepted to teach the young vampires, she would be making a new identity for herself in the Bloodsucking clan as an instructor.
This would not only facilitate her integration into the clan, but it would also anchor her to the Bloodsucking clan as she developed feelings and grew attached to it.
The more attached she became to the Bloodsucking clan, the easier it would be for him to keep her in the clan.
As such, he would no longer have to be afraid of the werewolf king suddenly appearing and snatching her away.
Smiling, Luke moved forward, standing by her side.
”Since they are begging on their knees, you might as well accept them. It would also give you something to do as we wait for the next Battle of Wars to begin. Who knows, you might even be able to recall something as you train them.” He softly whispered, his words reaching only her ears.
