Chapter 265 Escarte: True Vampire
Moving towards the principal's office, we came across a couple of scornful eyes that were directed towards Amila. And how 'surprising' it was to see the [Charmed] effect on their status when I checked upon them.
Caroline was quiet the whole time as she ignored those eyes, while Amila simply observed the whole thing with her expression filled with slight regret.
"They are charmed,"Silver hushed in a very low voice as she got closer to me and I nodded at her. Whoever it was, he must have been really powerful to charm an entire school all by himself. Apart from the part that he or she must have been doing this to Amila for some specific reason, I wonder how specific that 'specific reason' is going to be.
"We are here to meet the Principle,"Caroline moved forward and spoke up as she looked at the guard outside the gate. But the guard just looked at us before ignoring us all together. Obviously he was charmed too, and I pondered before looking at him for a couple of seconds and turned to Silver.
"Try asking him in your own way," I gestured to her. She nodded as she looked him directly in the eyes and spoke,"let us in."
Though the guard simply retorted,"the principal is busy. No outsiders are allowed to meet him."
Silver looked at me and shook her head and I asked her to come back before looking at the door to the Office. After pondering for a couple of moments, I finally made the decision to barge in as it would be the most efficient way to solve the problem right now.
"Let's go in," I spoke as I moved to open the door. THe guard stood up and tried moving towards us with slight fury appearing on his face but
[Time Rejection!]
-Thud!
He fell down on his legs as I opened the door and entered the room. Caroline followed in and Silver grasped the hand of panicking Amila, and helped her get into the principal's office. While we were entering, the guard kept on falling on the ground and I simply closed the door from the inside before I turned to look at the Principal sitting on the chair beyond the large table.
The office was quite big, with the walls filled with certificates of their success. There were shelves filled with trophies and medals from all over the country, along with some basketballs and footballs placed there as well.
My eyes observed the man carefully. His short white hair and white beard over his old face made him look really knowledgeable. The touch of silver glasses on his face made him look quite serene, to be honest. Wearing a gray suit, he sat there correcting the sheets on his table as he looked at Amila before turning to us.
"So you have finally fallen to barbaric methods, huh?" he asked Amila with a calm voice as Amila shrieked a little. On the other hand, I was a bit confused as I directly asked,
"You aren't charmed?"
Yeah. Even though I thought that he would be charmed like the rest of the people here in this school, but doesn't seem like that anymore.
His eyes widened as he looked at me for a couple of seconds before I saw him taking out a silver stake and placing it on the table. That silver stake was dyed red in blood as I observed him shaking a little before putting up an act as if he were calm and collected.
-Thud!!!
Scared shitless, Silver fell down on the ground as she looked at that stake. Her face was almost breaking and I could see the [Submissive] status applied on her. The Principal gained confidence while Amila was confused about what just happened.
"Ma-Master!! I-" Silver was trying to speak something as I touched her head and spoke,"it's fine. You are mine now. There is no way you are going to be confined within something as pathetic as this." [Time Rejection!]
Her eyes turned red as she started mutating her a little. Her skin, which was white, turned pure ashen for a couple of seconds before it started breaking in front of us.
'All I wanted was for her to hit upon the way to break free through these things…. Didn't think it would evolve her,' I thought as I saw her evolving through stages in front of me before I saw her growing up a little. The dress that she bought was all dirty as I saw her throwing it away while her body shone bright, like the stars in the sky.
It was for a brief moment before the light died and her body, which was already white, had now started gaining the strips of silver. While most of the strips were placed on her abdomen, and the lower portion, a single strip was placed right above her eyebrows, almost touching them.
She slowly opened her eyes as she looked at me and I chuckled as I saw her status.

She looked at me with slight curiosity as she moved in front of me. Got on her knees and spoke,"this being is yours to command master."
"Stand up. We got work to do,"I said, not much caring about her evolution. I have seen people more powerful than her, scarier than her. While the upgrade was truly mystical, that's all there was to it.
"There is a legend about our ancestors having powers of true immortality. The ability to control natural elements as if it were a part of their own body. Many said that it was but a mere legend, while few tried to find more about it, but there was nothing one discovered, no matter how much one tried. Master…. Just who are you?" she asked as she stood up. Her speech was much more free now, not restricted by anything. Out of her finger trip, a couple of drops of blood flew out as they levitated in the air. I saw their shapes changing from a drop to a flower, then to a snowflake.
Amila, Caroline, that principal, everyone was mesmerized by that sight of Silver controlling the blood. The most confused, Amila, was having a hard time to figure out if she was watching something true or just an illusion.
"Earn my trust and we shall talk more about it,"I spoke as I then turned back to the principal, whose eyes were still concentrated on the drop.
"With that out of the way… Now Mr… Ernest, Can you answer a couple of questions of ours? I hope we aren't disturbing you?" I spoke with a smile on our face.
