Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Matt then came back to his senses and smiled at Alice. "That's an amazing spirit you've signed a contract with, Alice. I managed to sign a contract with a spirit last night, too; I'll show you later."

"Really? Did you manage to sign a contract that fast? I was very lucky that time, Matt. I showed up right next to Alessa, and she wanted to sign a contract, although she said she wanted to sign it only because she wanted to meet the owner of an aura she felt in me, so luck was on my side at that time."

The two started talking about different things after that. Matt didn't tell her about his spirit because he had yet to meet it and because he couldn't show his ability right now. He would look for a chance to show it to her. It was also good because he wanted to see what kind of ability it was and if that spirit could give him something else.

So, hours passed, and those hours turned into a couple of days.

Just then, the Grand Summoner knocked on the door.

"Mrs. Holmer? Professor Robert?" Matt and Alice looked doubtful when they saw them arrive.

Mia Holmer nodded toward Matt.

"Boy, did you manage to summon a spirit?" she asked suddenly, without even saying hello.

Matt nodded to her dubiously. "I was able to summon one two days ago, but it's a bit special, so I can't get it out. Why?"

Mia smiled.

"I have a proposal for both of you. Robert told me about what happened, and I know it's not a good idea to keep you in such a low status right now and hidden, so I want you to face, using only spirits, two members of the Alignment. If you both manage to hold out long enough or if you manage to beat them, you will pass the test and will be almost members of the Alignment.

You will be granted many resources and will be under the protection of the Alignment. How about it? Do you want to give it a try? If you fail, nothing will change for you now; you will still be taught at the academy."

After hearing this, Matt thought, 'Face off against members of the Alignment, just using the spirits?' Although it didn't show on his face, inside, he smiled joyfully.

He didn't think the day of using his ability would come so soon. But before answering, he looked at Alice to confirm it with her.

And she looked radiant. He didn't even have to ask to know what she wanted, so Matt nodded to the Great Summoner.

"That being the case, we'd like to take those people on." Matt replied.

Robert looked beaming at this, and the Grand Summoner asked them to follow her.

They would do so right now since neither Matt nor Alice were busy, and Mia wanted to be more effective.

After walking through the large academy, they passed through the inner halls and later arrived at the Alignment territories. Once there, they entered one of the training places that the Alignment had.

Here, many people with summoned spirits were training hard. Elders taught some, and others followed their own training.

The truth was that the energy was being batted back and forth, causing the heat in the air to rise.

But when they saw the Great Summoner arrive, many stopped. They had heard that today there would possibly be a duel between two of the Alignment members and two outsiders, so when they saw her arrive, they thought it was time.

"Are new members coming? I heard that the Webb Brothers are missing; could it be that they are the replacements?"

"It's possible. But does anyone know them? They look like new students."

While some were talking and muttering back and forth, the Great Summoner called out the two who were to be Matt and Alice's rivals.

They were on the other side of the vast training room. They were the only ones not training in the whole place, as they were waiting for confirmation from the Great Summoner as to whether they would face the newcomers.

"Zen, Aelia. These two are the ones who are going to face you, and we'll do it right here. You don't need to win, and I honestly don't expect you to win; experience will show them who can do more with talent this time around. We just want to see how good you are at using the summoned spirits and how good you are at fighting.

So focus on showing off your spirit prowess rather than anything else." Said the Great Summoner.

"You two, you can go all out. Test the newbies as usual."

After saying this, the Great Summoner created a hedge of people around them and called out to Aelia and the other woman.

"You will fight first. Student Aelia, since you are new, I will tell you that this woman in front of you uses a slightly special spirit of the wood attribute. Her vines are troublesome, but she is also strong, so you must be careful. Now, with that said, get ready."

Matt stepped aside and looked at Alice's combat.

She frowned. 'Alessa only taught me that inscription that to summon wind spirits... Will they go well against the wood attribute? I don't know how I should fight with that.' She thought and frowned.

While she was thinking like that, and before the Great Summoner started the fight, Alice heard a voice in her head.

"Yo, Alice. I'm back." Alessa's soft and pretty voice echoed in her head, and the fifth-type inscription on Alice's forehead glowed.

"Are you fighting?" Alessa asked just as she prepared to leave.

'You're coming at a good time, Alessa! I need more inscriptions. I don't know if I can beat this woman with experience, because I only used that skill once before to show Matt. And they want me to fight using only spirits.' Alice replied quickly, glad that Alessa was here.

Alessa sighed. 'There's no time. Teaching you an inscription isn't easy; how do you want me to teach you more?" She replied.

'Can't you? If you don't teach me something else, maybe I can lose. I can't summon too much, you know?'

Alessa smiled, "Well, I don't think you'll lose. Let's fight together. I taught you a way before so you can fight on your own. But you should know that all spirits can fight alongside their summoner. So, just let my energy cover your body. You take care of fighting, and I'll give you lots of spirits to overwhelm her, hehe." Alessa got excited in a moment as soon as she said that.

It was at the end that she realized that she was, in fact, going to have her first real fight!

And when Alice remembered that that was another way to use a spirit, she instantly perked up and was filled with confidence.

Just then, the Great Summoner spoke. "Start!"
