[Island]
The following events that happened after their battle are something that Shun never expected to happen. Nevertheless all of them unfolded one by one until the situation became irreversible.
The next morning, since everyone saw that something happened at the Gritonnia Academy's base, all the other five academies became curious on what happened that night and started sending out people to find the cause.
Of course the Gritonnia Academy students has no capability to hide such information to the other academies. The evidence for the battle are laid bare and the intense mana fluctuations in the area can be felt by those sensitive to mana.
But despite knowing that something did happen, they have nonidea on what attacked the Gritonnia Academy students. No matter how much they ask, the Gritonnia Academy students are intent to keep their mouth shut.
During that time Shun finally woke up after much needed rest and somewhat felt refreshed from such relaxing sleep after awhile. However due to numerous intense movement he had done, his body begun to ache from the strain that his body endured in order to perform really well in combat.
Simply put his body is in sore and always in pain even when he tries doing minimal movements.
"I advise that you really take a rest... your body can't handle continuous intense work one after another.... if you want your sore parts to recover, apply some ointments on your body alongside some herbs and rest" said by Rosalyn who is standing at the entrance of his tent
"I... I can't do that! The enemy is still out there and the other bases are currently looking at our direction after that incident, a battle may erupt at any moment even in this peaceful like atmosphere" said by Shun
"You don't have to worry about the security, the crown prince and your other friends aside from that girl sephiria are taking charge of guarding the place... there is also Sonia and Goran for the count"
"Wait! Sephiria... if she's not guarding, then where is she?" Asked by Shun
"She's been taking care of you, she just went out to eat her breakfast meal... what a caring fiancee, lucky you"
"Yes! Lucky me... that's why i cant afford to lose her to someone else"
Hearing that Rosalyn simply smiled while also feeling envy, she hoped that someday even by fated chance, she might meet the person that belongs to her.
Not long after Sephiria arrived with a bowl of soup, as she thanked Rosalyn from guarding Shun while she was taking her break.
After each of them bid their farewell, Sephiria returned to Shun's side while Rosalyn returned to her post along the base walls.
Unbeknownst to them during that time the retaliation from the vampires became even more unlikely when they did something that caught the attention of the other 5 academies.
The vampires themselves received quite a lot of damage from fighting agaisnt the students of the Gritonnia Academy, they lost a lot of strength. If they wanted to get their revenge agaisnt the Gritonnia Academy students, they will need to replenish their ranks and energy through easy prey.
At first they somehow had smooth replenish by targeting the monsters inside the forest and somewhat offering a portion of the blood they drunk towards Vesper who is severely injured and couldn't independently feed. However despite all of that, the purity of the monsters blood cannot compare to the quality of a human blood.
If only they could prey on a human, then perhaps Vesper could quickly recover.
During the time when they were thinking of that, they somehow saw some humans loitering the forest, who were also pre-occupied on investigating on what attacked the students of grittonia academy during the night.
With the chance to prey on human, they attacked the group of six students from the Orbium and slaughtered them all. Their screams and sounds of fighting attracted some students near their location. Because of that Akito who was closeby arrived at the scene and somewhat fend off the vampire that attacked the students before they retreated back into the forest.
But despite arriving on time to fend off the vampires, he was somewhat far too late to save the students, so they were drained of their blood and was forced to be ejected out as elimination.
From there Akito realized what attacked the Gritonnia Academy students, before he quickly returned to base in order to inform everyone about the hidden enemy.
Not far from him, some students who saw what happened also realized the existence of vampires and immediately returned back to their respective base in order to inform everyone of the enemy monsters.
With that even though the offered blood from the human prey had hasten Vesper's recovery, the other academy bases quickly learned about the voices and realized the danger they pose.
If the vampires were able to force the Gritonnia Academy students to act defensively and made their base like that, while eliminating a lot of students which is apparent to the constant tower of light that appeared in the middle of the night, then the threat that the vampire brought had greatly threaten all five of them, to consider making an alliance.
But the final cog that made the alliance possible was when their respective scouts returned to their bases and informed them that the vampires were able to fight Shun till the point that he had passed out in the battlefield.
As they all knew, Shun is one of the top three fighters in this island alongside Lorius and Akito. All three of them are strong enough to threaten the kingdom, especially with their unlimited potential for growth. What's more Shun is considered a one man army since he also has the power to summon champion's from another realm from his summoning book.
So hearing that such a person had passed out from fighting the leader of the vampire, the vampires themselves had unknowingly put themselves in a bad light against the 5 academies.
With the strength to knock out one of the top three fighters present on the island, all five academies finally decided to work together to get rid of a threat that could potentially attack them from behind.
