"No. Wait, what? Why did your mind go there? Do I seem like the kind of person who would cheat?" I said.
"Then where were you all day?" Victoria said with a frustrated look on her adorable face.
"I was in vampire jail. So other students tried to mug for my life essence. They attacked and I defended myself, but so lady accused of being the aggressor. Turns out the students had important family nas, so they entered into the outer sect disciple entrance exam with the plan to let the families send soone to kill during the exam," I said.
"Then, after I defeated my would-be assassin, three assassins showed up in the hallway and tried to kill . And now my girlfriend is berating . Now you're all caught up."
"What? Those sons of bitches! I an those assholes! I'm sure their mothers' are very nice. I'm gonna hurt them, and then I'm gonna beat them, and then I'm gonna kill them," she said in a rage.
"Now would be a bad ti to tell a joke, so I won't," I said.
"No, jokes are fine. I was actually just kidding about the hussy thing. I just wanted to see you squirm," Victoria laughed. "I knew it had to be sothing serious that happened."
"You're evil, you know that?" I said.
"I know. What's your point?" She said.
"No point. Just an observation," I said.
"What happened with the entrance exam? I assu you won. What did they give you for it?" She said.
"Of course I won. They gave lifeblood pills, vitalus pills, and this shitty, I an, shiny sword," I said, gesturing to the sword in the scabbard.
"Really? That's neat. The pills are probably low quality but they should help with making you stronger. The lifeblood pills will help you progress through so more realms. They work best if you're ditating after you take them. It allows you to absorb more of the life essence in the pills.
They're basically concentrated life essence derived from blood. That's why they're called lifeblood pills," she said.
"Although with how good you are at extracting life essence, you may not need to ditate to extract all the life essence from the pills. You'll want to hold off on the Vitalus pills until you reach the realm right before entering the Vi Condensation Stage of realms."
"Ok, what is Vitalus or Vi and the condensation what now?" I said.
"Think of life essence as the fuel and Vitalus or Vi as the fire. Gasoline and wood are cool and all, but they're just fuel. Fire is where the real damage gets done. All the realms you've achieved up til now are minor realms in a major realm we call the Body Fortification Stage.
It's a stage where your body undergoes changes to strengthen it not only in terms of power but also in terms of resistance to damage," Victoria said.
"The point of the Body Fortification Stage is to prepare your body to channel and utilize Vitalus or Vi. Without body fortification, Vi would tear you apart from the inside. Now, I only entered the Vi Condensation Stage 20 years ago, since I'm only around 200 years old in vampire years and I don't kill my targets when I feed.
"I only take what I need, and they won't miss. The older vampires and the ones that kill when they feed have already reached the Vi Condensation Stage."
"Ok. I think I'm starting to get it, but what does the Vi Condensation stage do?" I said.
"It allows you to generate Vi internally and externally as well as condense and maintain a higher concentration of Vi in the body."
"Ok, I get as much as I'm going to get for now," I said. "What's with the whole 'no na' shit? Several vampires called us 'no nas' because our last na is Sanguis."
"Sanguis is the broader family na for all vampires. There are many bloodline nas for vampires that can trace their lineage way back. Sanguis is used for when a vampire either doesn't know the bloodline na of the vampire that turned them, or for vampires who were turned by another vampire with the last na Sanguis," Victoria said.
"But don't the other bloodline vampires have a point in their history where they can't trace back any further?" I said.
"Yes. Bloodline nas can be earned or claid based on the age and number of generations in a bloodline, or if a bloodline mber has had significant achievents in the vampire world," Victoria said.
"I've been trying to apply for a bloodline na myself, but you need at least one progeny in the bloodline. You are my first officially registered progeny. And you have to reach certain milestones in your Vampiric Evolution Path."
"Why didn't you have any official progeny before?" I asked.
"I wanted to reach my milestones first, because progeny require ti and attention that I could be spending progressing in my path," Victoria said. "As you already know, you were an accident. Sorry." She made a sarcastic, sad face.
"What are the milestones, if you don't mind asking?" I said.
"You need at least one evolved ability, a lifeblood crystal, all your nexus points filled, and to reach the Vi Condensation Stage," Victoria said, obvious frustration in her voice.
"I can help you with two of those," I said. "I have a lifeblood crystal and so of my nexus points filled."
"Already? Holy shit, baby. You're progressing fast! I knew you were fast," she said as she winked at , "but I didn't know you were that fast. What minor realm are you at now?"
"Uh, Lesser Vampire Master, I think," I said, not really sure what that ant relative to her realm of Princess.
"Damn! Pretty soon you'll be knocking on my door. Then blasting through it!" She said, astonished.
"I'll blast through your door, alright," I said as I winked at her.
"You're so corny. We can do that later. Right now, you need to lay low in here while I take this whole assassination business to the Lead Elder," Victoria said. She kissed , caressed my cheek, and then abruptly left the room and slamd the door.
