Professor Noah was like no other professors, his voice was soothing to most people, his appearance made him resemble a super model, and his intellect and way of teaching was perfect, helping every student understand things thoroughly and in a quick way too.
He was perfect in every way, and every student, even the male ones found he was a rather good addition to the school. Although many wondered how a person like him even became a professor and not just an actor for Hollywood movies.
Despite all of this, Frank's group weren't buying it though. Unlike everyone else here, they could clearly feel something within that man, he wasn't normal at all, he wasn't even a human, most likely.
Judging by Harumi's reaction, Frank was able to immediately tell that Noah wasn't a human, perhaps not even a vampire, but something else...
The man would occasionally glance at him or his friends, and even at Kireina out of nowhere, and sometimes as he spoke things for the general class, it would feel like he was talking to them.
Or maybe Frank was just becoming paranoid... But for whatever reason, it truly felt that way. "Is it just my mind?"
There can only be too many coincidences before things start to feel like they're intentional, and at the same time, Frank guessed that there could be many possibilities of what Noah could actually be, and his true goal in all of this.
At the very least, besides the powerful aura he possessed, he held no hostility to anybody, and seemed overall just kindhearted, if anything, amicable, although with a strange air to it.
When the classes ended, Noah started packing his things up.
"Students, remember studying for the next exam, which will be coming next class," said Noah. "I will have no mercy, so please study and memorize well the contents of today's class and what you've written."
"Yes professor-!"
"Sure~!"
"Thank you~!"
"We'll study lots and lots~!"
"Kyaaah~! He looked at me!"
"No, he looked at me, not you!"
The girls of the class started fighting each other for Noah's attention, although the professor
held a mostly expressionless face through the entire class, his charms were too much for these young girls.
"What a lively class this is..."
He quickly glanced at Eleanora and Dante, nodding.
"See you later dad!" Eleanora said.
"Yeah!" Dante nodded.
"Hm, take care," Noah walked away, making the entire class even crazier.
"Wait so Noah is your father, Dante?!"
"I can't believe it, but I guess you guys do look like him!"
"Woah! I wish I could have a dad like him!!!"
The entire class started swarming the siblings, constantly talking to them about how their father was incredible and everything.
"Huh..."
Frank and Matsuo had the same, weirded out reaction, this was already too much.
However, Frank quickly decided to go check on Harumi after Noah left.
"Harumi, how do you feel? Are you alright?"
The Dhampir girl was slightly startled when she felt Frank's hand on her shoulder.
"Ah! Y-Yes, I'm fine... I just... We need to talk. That man... Noah, he's... I have never felt such a powerful aura before. I think it even surpassed my own mother."
"W-Wait, what? Seriously?!" Matsuo asked.
"He's hot but yeah, he's scary as hell," Erika nodded. "I also didn't like his smell that much; he was hiding a bit too many things."
"Alright, let's talk once the classes are over," nodded Frank. "We don't have a second break today, unfortunately."
The next class was a fairly normal language class teaching the students how to write Kanji and so on, and once classes for the day ended, the group walked outside of school together while talking about what happened.
"I don't trust that man..." Said Harumi. "When I stared at him and at the slight, small aura he exuded, it felt like I was drowning in a sea of blood, and the void was eating me away."
"Huh?!"
"R-Really?"
"What?!"
Frank, Matsuo, and Erika had similar reactions, Harumi's description was overly specific and scary as hell!
"I don't think he's a vampire," she said. "Or if he is, he belongs to a completely different family, a different branch entirely. He's beyond vampires... yet at the same time, I couldn't help but feel like he was someone of great authority."
"So is he vampire or not?" Matsuo wondered.
"I can't really tell..." sighed Harumi. "But I can tell he's dangerous. He's definitely... he might be stronger than my own mother."
"How's that even possible?!" Erika asked. "Isn't your mother like, super strong and ancient? It's not easy for any Vampire to reach the Rank of a Vampire Queen like she had reached, right?
Isn't she like one of the Blood Apostles?"
"Huh? Blood Apostles?" Frank wondered.
"Hey Erika, don't go yapping around with personal and confidential information like that!" Harumi hit the werewolf's head with her hand.
"Ouch! Hey, that hurt!" Erika groaned, roaring angrily.
"It's... Uh, it's like a title thing," said Harumi. "Don't pay attention to it-"
"Why are you hiding that from Frank anyways? It's not like he won't figure it out on his own eventually," Erika shrugged. "Blood Apostles are the main members of an organization called Sanguine Alliance, and are leaders of large vampire families led by nobody else than Vlad Tepes, you know him right? He's Dracula!"
"Really?!" Frank was even more surprised. "That's... kind of cool."
"A-Anyway, it's not like that matters right now!" Harumi said, feeling embarrassed about that for no reason. "I should go tell my mother about what happened today... But I'm honestly
afraid of going alone. Can you guys accompany me?"
"To your house?" Frank wondered. "Ah, sure..."
"Can we go inside too?" Erika wondered. "I've always liked how big it is!"
"I have never gone to her house before, not that I recall..." Matsuo said.
"Aah, fine..." Harumi sighed. "I guess you can help me explain to my mom what we saw, I
hope you cooperate."
"Come, we have to enter the Other Side to get to my house, it is not at plain sight," said
Harumi, as she expanded a Domain Creation Spell and let everyone enter to the "Other Side"
of the world, empty from all normal people.
They walked through the abandoned streets, eventually reaching a corner of a street where there were various normal houses.
However, this area was changed completely, as a gigantic black colored, gothic manor sat in
the middle of a cursed graveyard.
"Woah, the house's huge!" said Matsuo.
"It is, right?" Erika giggled. "I sometimes come here; Harumi invites me all the time!"
"There's a cold air around here, and a lot of fog..." said Frank, walking around the garden.
"And... lots of graves."
"Yeah, my mother has a weird preference for gardens," sighed Harumi. "And..."
Before Harumi could finish her words, suddenly everyone screamed in surprise as a huge skeleton hand emerged from the dirt.
Slowly, a whole skeleton wearing a butler suit crawled from a hole in the ground, cleaning his clothes from dirt and greeting everyone.
"Ah, greetings. It seems the young lady has brought many friends this time, what joy," the
skeleton spoke with a rather fancy voice. "Our Queen has already been notified of this and she
has approved of her daughter bringing her friends, so you're free to visit our house as
temporary guests. Please."
The skeleton nonchalantly opened the door, letting everyone inside.
