“NO!” The vampire screamed, but it was too late.
The moment her sharp teeth pierced through his skin, his blood was sucked at a pace much faster than anything that Selena and Nathan had experienced.
The vampire felt his strength leaving his body. In addition to the suppression from the rank, he couldn’t do anything.
“Stop it!” Victor hurriedly rushed toward the arena, trying to stop Risa from sucking his vampire’s blood completely.
However, the teacher immediately stood in his way, saying, “If you step into the arena, you will be disqualified.”
“Who cares about that? She is trying to kill my familiar!” Victor wanted to take action by releasing his Ena, but it was too late.
That distraction was the only thing that Risa needed to suck all the blood the vampire had.
The guy’s frame became thin as all the blood was gone. The flesh had turned dry, as if bones and skin were the only things that remained from him.
Risa pulled out while spitting. “This guy’s blood is bad. As expected, there’s no blood more delicious than Master’s.”
She then threw away the dried corpse as if throwing trash.
The people were stunned. Selena was a first-year student. If this was a battle with all their strength and familiars, Selena would have lost.
However, she was clever enough to challenge him to the one where she had the upper hand.
Even so, the vampire Victor summoned was his fourth familiar. It contained at least a few thousand Ena, if not ten thousand.
Yet he lost.
The moment he lost, there were a few people that suddenly said, “Now that I think about it, the Ashton family’s original count is Selena Ashton’s biological father. Due to the count going missing years ago, her uncle was currently in charge of the family.”
“What? Does that mean the legitimate heir is Selena Ashton?”
“Is there something missing from what we know so far?”
“So the one he calls lowly blood is actually the legitimate heir? And even her first vampire has become a duchess. What about Victor? His first vampire is only a baron.”
“What a pathetic loser.”
“And to think that Axel is shortsighted enough to actually take him into the student council. If he is really joining the student council, he will become our shame.”
“So, does that mean Flora has taken in the correct person?”
“Who can say? All we know is that Selena Ashton is more talented than Victor Ashton.”
The people’s opinions shifted immediately.
Obviously, Flora didn’t forget to take this chance to repay Axel’s kindness for the last few days.
“Yo, Axel. It seems your person is good. What did people say again? Birds of the same feather flock together?” Flora grinned.
Axel clenched his fists. “Do you think this is over, Flora?”
“Who knows?” Flora shrugged. “But there’s one thing for sure, you’ve lost everything you’ve built so far.”
Axel frowned. There were originally no conflicts between them. In fact, all this stemmed from the propaganda that was seen as a mistake.
He couldn’t help but wonder if those mistakes were actually for him. Still, it didn’t make sense. Why would Flora do all this?
When that thought sank in, he fell into silence and turned around. “Don’t think this is over.”
Flora looked at him for a moment before sighing.
Like Flora, Selena didn’t plan to let this go without insulting Victor.
Selena looked at Victor with a calm expression, as if what she had done was nothing special.
“You’ve lost. I’ll be waiting for your apology unless you’re shameless enough to claim that I’ve cheated.”
“You…” Victor gnashed his teeth and pointed his hand. “Teacher. Are you going to let this go? She is ruthless enough to kill a familiar in front of everyone. If this continues, there will be more students who lose their familiars in her hands. I suggest we punish her!”
Selena was speechless. There was only one thought in her mind. ‘This is… like what Nathan said.’

“I’m going to tell my teacher to arrange the teacher who will become the referee for your match.”
“Huh? Why would you do that? Are you going to make me cheat?” Selena frowned. She thought she had enough strength to beat Victor with her own hand.
Nathan shook his head. “You don’t know anything. I have heard a lot of stories about this type of battle. If you end up defeating him, I’m pretty sure that he will claim you’ve done something wrong when you simply act within the rules. And he will go to the referee and do whatever he can to make the referee punish you.
“And I’ve never told you to cheat. I know full well your ability. It’s just I want to prevent him from using a teacher who is actually his ally. That’s why I will only ask my teacher to arrange a teacher who can remain neutral.”
Nathan couldn’t help but add, ‘I have seen this kind of thing a lot of times, both in cultivation and fantasy novels. No way I’m going to let it be.’
“Well, I will trust you.” Selena nodded.
“Your victory is the most important, both for me and for the school. That’s why I have to arrange this teacher for you.”
“As long as I don’t have to cheat. Besides, this will be a big blow to them.” Selena finally agreed.
“Yep. Anyway, I will be busy for the next several days, so you can focus on the matter within the student council.”
“Do you need my help?”
“I do, but I don’t know if you’re going to do it or not.” Nathan smiled wryly.
“Why?” Selena tilted her head in confusion.
“I want you to bring Sera to a certain location.”
Selena let out a long sigh. “Alright. I will do that.”
When Selena recalled that conversation, she couldn’t help but recall what Nathan said back then. She thought Nathan would be busy because of Vivian or someone else, but the kidnapping case struck the academy again. Instead of a third year, this time, the one who was kidnapped was actually Nathan himself.
