As soon as all of the freshmen entered the auditorium, the buzzing whispers and chatter soon became quiet as 4 people walked up the stage.
"Greetings to every new student of the Unitas Institution Academy!", the man in front said.
"To all the newcomers present, it is only right to know that this isn't the main ceremony.", a woman said at front.
Soon after, questions about their statements started to surface.
"This is the Unitas Institution Academy, did you expect that just because all of you belongs to a noble family, all of you would receive a heart-welcoming ceremony?", a werewolf said at front.
"Before we proceed, let us introduce ourselves. I am Theodore Lazarus, of the Lazarus Covenant clan, one of the standing clans at the Apex Council beside the Moriarty and Draculesti clan. Representing the vampires of the academy.", Theodore stated.
The vampires raised their cheers as they heard the name, as one of the Apex Council's clan members were present to represent their name.
"The Lazarus Covenant, a mysterious clan shrouded only in mystery. Sir Malachi said to be wary of them.", Angel mutters to himself.
Next, the werewolf came to the front and introduced himself.
"My name is Edan of the Ironhide Vanguard, one of the leading guardian wolves of the Apex Council of wolves. Representing the Wolf Faction of the academy! Wolves, howl!", Edan soon howled, the sound echoing throughout the auditorium along with the wolves of the wolf faction.
Soon after, the man in a white noble's attire stood in front.
His mere presence along with his face and the blonde color of his hair caused a massive ruckus among the female freshmen.
"Goodmorning to everybody, my name is Evander Thorne of the Luminary Ascendancy clan of the Mage Faction! Greetings to all my fellow mages who has come here today to witness new wisdom and knowledge. Currently representing the mages of the Mage faction!", he placed the mic back as he steps off.
"Kyaaa! It's him, its Evander Thorne!", the females all said.
"He has quite the fanbase.", I looked at him from my seat.
As all of them took their silence, the remaining person in the background took a step forward to the front. Her nun outfit mixed with of a hunter's outfit along with her beauty caused a few boys to faint with nosebleeds.
"My name is Maria, I hope you boys have fun dream tonight. Representing the fresh hunters of the Hunter faction.", her voice soft and gentle.
"Haha, that's supposed to be nun?", Angel tries to remain composed.
After the introductions, the spotlight returned to Theodore Lazarus.
"To all of our fellow freshmen, there is no time to waste! You're current objective is to obtain a single key, which can be found through out the campus.", Theodore said.
"There are three types of keys, bronze key, a silver key, a gold key and four hidden keys of it's own material.", Evander said, his blue eyes as beautiful as a diamond.
"This keys will determine the dormitory rooms that you will be staying in for the rest of your journey inside the academy.", Maria said with a seductive smile.
"That is why, do your best unless you want to stay in a worn down room like I did.", Edan says as he looks down in embarassment.
"The method of obtainment is solely dependent on the student with a single restriction, no acts of killing. Once a student obtains a key, they will be immediately teleported inside the main ceremony site as we wait for the others to arrive.", Theodore said.
"The time limit is 5 hours, you... all... may start!", all four of them simultaneously said.
As the sound of Maria's gunshot echoed through the auditorium. All of them rushed outside and brought chaos in hopes of finding a higher key while some decided to look for the bronze keys instead.
As Angel exited the auditorium, he walked the campus looking for the key but keys were immediately decreasing as the time passed.
The other students went to their seniors for help, to obtain information regarding the keys.
The seniors that owns a golden key answered that every key is a one of a kind, meaning that even if the students tried to take theirs, it wouldn't work. The bronze keys were the most common as it was the easiest to find but the higher the key, the harder the challenges to obtain it.
Inside the woods near the campus, Angel clashed with a noble female vampire whilst trying to obtain the golden key in front of them.
"Back off boy, seeing that I don't know you. You'd either be a forgotten noble or just a regular half-blood. Either way, you can't defeat me.", she slides her hair.
"Don't think I'll be gentle just because you're a girl. I've already been in enough problems with females.", Angel said with fierce gaze.
Angel activated his vampire state, now being able to control most of the state's power after a week of spending time with Malachi's guidance.
"So you are a pureblood. Hmph, no matter, I Latisha Alistair, shall show you no mercy.", she says as blood spikes came out from the animals near them.
"Bring it.", Angel says as he uses the ring on his finger that has a little sharp edge to cause a small wound enough to draw blood from his own body to form a spear.
