-3 Months Later-
"Alright, do it!" Lilia ordered as she clicked a golden-coloured clock that was in her hand.
Ithania didn't nod, she just raised both of her hands to the side as her icy blue eyes shined, she was surrounded by 10 buckets that were filled with blood.
As Ithania's hand moved, the blood in the buckets moved as well and 10 waves of blood rose in the air while Ithania stood in the middle.
The scene looked quite spectacular.
Ithania then moved her hand in circle, and the blood wave in the air started moving as well.
What she was showing right now was incomparable to the meagre [Blood Control] she showed the first time when she met Luminia, this was the real [Blood Control], the one that the Noble Vampires used to use.
The blood waves that were over her head circled around as Ithania moved her hands, soon, she formed a fist and the 'waves' turned into something akin to sharp Icicles, however, instead of ice, they were made of blood.
Ithania then spread opened her arms, the Blood Sickels that were over her head, organized themselves and appeared behind Ithania as if they were the soldiers protecting her.
Ithania's icy blue eyes shined uncontrollably and she then pointed her hand forward.
*Whoosh*
*Pierce*
*Thud*
One Blood Sickel shot forward and pierced the head of a wooden puppet without facing any resistance whatsoever. The Blood Sickel then fell to the ground and turned back into normal blood.
Ithania then turned a little and pointed at another puppet, another Blood Sickel was shot and the same result was seen.
Ithania continued repeating the whole process until 10 wooden puppets were shot and down on the ground.
A small smile appeared on Lilia's face.
Ithania then raised both her arms again, the Blood lying on the ground rose in the air and turned back to Blood Sickels.
*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*
Ithania then lowers her arms in an instant, 10 Blood Sickels shot at the same time and pierced the head of 10 wooden puppets.
The strength behind the attack was lower than before, however, it was a lot better when facing many enemies at once.
"Good, now don't fail on the last step again," Lilia muttered.
Ithania nodded a little, from the sweat on her forehead, Lilia knew that she was at her limit.
'I think this is still too much for her…' Lilia thought inwardly.
Ithania raised her hand again.
The blood rose, it merged and then it started changing its shape.
A second later, a Big Blood Spear was formed.
A small smile appeared on Ithania's face as she pointed at a wooden puppet that was comparably bigger than the others.
The blood spear moved.
*Whoosh*
The spear then pierced through the puppet's stomach, leaving a big hole on the puppet that looked sturdier than the previous ones.
The strength behind that spear was incomparably higher than the sickles she had made before.
This was Ithania's trump card.
*Whoosh*
The Spear didn't stop after piercing the wooden puppet, it continued moving forward without any change in its momentum.
Suddenly, after a certain distance, the intact spear turned into Blood and fell to the ground.
"T-That was powerful…" Ithania muttered in awe. She wasn't too bothered about the Spear turning into blood, she knew that was because it travelled out of her control range.
It was normal.
However, she was still content with the power behind it.
"Good job. I am proud of you." Lilia walked towards Ithania and patted her head.
Ithania's face was paler than usual, she has expended a lot of Mana.
She was tired.
However, there was still a smile on her face.
"Teacher…" She called out.
"What is it?"
"C-Can I fight Azriel now…?" She questioned.
A wry smile appeared on Lilia's face.
"I told you not to compare himself with him, right?"
"I-I am not comparing… I just want to know… he shouldn't be able to take on Blood Spear, right?" Ithania questioned.
"That is true; he won't come out unharmed but…"
"But?"
'You won't be able to hit him in the first place…' Lilia muttered to herself.
"Nothing, just listen to your teacher and focus on yourself.
Beat your past self.
p
That is the fastest way to improve."
"Alright…" Ithania nodded.
Suddenly, Lilia's red eyes shined, the blood that was spilt on the ground rose and moved into the buckets.
Everything was so effortless that Ithania couldn't help but open her mouth in awe.
"Alright, that will be enough for today," Lilia muttered as she stopped patting Ithania.
"Then I will take my leave, Teacher. Thank you for your time."
Lilia nodded with a smile and Ithania walked away.
"She really wants to compare herself with that monster huh…" Seeing her walking figure, Lilia muttered to herself and shook her head.
She doesn't want her disciple to stress herself out.
Her progress was already comparable to those Noble Vampires.
If given enough time, she might get close to Lady Luminia.
As for surpassing her, Lilia didn't dare assume that.
Although she wasn't alive when Luminia was young, she had heard the stories. Luminia was a monster in her own right.
'Like Teacher like student.'
Lilia shook her head.
…
"HAHAHAHA!!"
Ithania, who was walking toward the vampires, heard a burst of loud laughter and shook her head.
'They started it again huh…' She muttered inwardly as she quickened her steps.
A few seconds later, she walked into the garden and sighed.
She was right…
They started it again…
Right now, Ferox was sitting on top of Valerian laughing like a madman, while Valerian had a swollen face.
"Hahahaha! You thought that you could defeat me just because you broke through? Who gave you that confidence, you idiot?"
"Ughhhh! If only I had unlocked the [Blood Control] instead of [Charm]! I would have beaten the shit out of you!" Valerian didn't back down even though he was defeated and retorted.
"Heh! You beating the shit out of me? Hahaha! I think there is something wrong with your head, here, let me fix it." Ferox was about to punch again but,
"Stop," Ithania ordered.
"Lady Ithania." Ferox stood up and walked towards Ithania with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha~ Lady Ithania, I beat that looser again!"
"Alright alright, you did a good job" Ithania shook her head.
"L-Lady Ithania! I was not defeated! It is just that I unlocked [Charm] instead of [Blood Control], I just got unlucky. I am sure I will defeat him once my [Blood Control] is unlocked." Valerian walked towards Ithania as well.
"Hahaha! What a joke!" Ferox laughed.
"Haahh… you two… why are you so childish?" Ithania facepalmed.
"Lady Ithania."
Ithania then heard another voice and a small smile appeared on her tired face.
"Why don't you guys become like Tassia? Look how calm and well-mannered she is. You are the sub-leaders of the vampires, act like one."
Ithania muttered as she glanced at Tassia and smiled.
Now, Tassia wasn't that weak, scar-faced girl, after 'Purification' all her scars were healed and she turned into a beauty.
A confident and strong beauty.
Many vampires tried to woo her, however, the girl was dead set on her aim to become stronger and rejected them all.
"Hmph! So what if she has manners? I can still beat her up!" Ferox complained.
Tassia's face twitched when she heard him, however, she controlled herself and didn't reply.
"Indeed. Acting as a leader doesn't matter if she's weak. We can beat her up without any effort." Valerian nodded as well.
"True." Ferox nodded as well.
The two of them looked like they had uncovered the secrets of the world.
Although the two of them fought very often, their bonding was great. Of course, the two of them would never admit it.
"…"
Several veins popped out on Tassia's head, in the end, she couldn't take it anymore and,
"You two think you are better than me!? Huh!? How about I shut that shit-like face of yours!?"
"Haahhh…"
Ithania sighed…
They all act like a bunch of children.
"Alri-" Before Ithania could say anything, a voice was heard.
"Lilia and Ithania, come to my room."
Ithania's gaze turned solemn as she turned toward other vampires and muttered, "I need to go. You all, don't cause any troubles."
"Yes, Lady Ithania" The vampires nodded as well.
They weren't stupid enough to create trouble after hearing that voice.
…
A few minutes back, inside Luminia's room.
"Uggghhhh! Teacher, I still can't break through…" Azriel groaned in frustration.
"This is a problem indeed." Luminia nodded as well.

Azriel has been stuck at the peak of the Beginner Stage for a whole month and he still did not break through.
It was Luminia's idea to not use Human blood to level up and Azriel agreed.
Time was on their side, Luminia did not want Azriel to be dependent on something else for his breakthrough, hence, the suggestion.
However, they did not get the results they wished for.
Azriel could not break through no matter how hard he tried.
And that was what Luminia and Azriel were worried about.
"Do I have to drink human blood again…?" Azriel questioned with a face that showed nothing but pure disgust.
"Azriel."
Suddenly, Luminia called out, there was a serious look on her face. They shouldn't delay it any longer.
"Yes, teacher?"
"It's time to Hunt."
...
Author's Note: There is no Mistake, his blank points did not increase after levelling up.
