Returned back from death.

It took a while for Leo to recover from the situation.

"Take a seat." Miss Camille pointed at one of the beds in the infirmary.

Leo subconsciously picked the bed closest to the window. I chose to sit on the bed closest to me.

Miss Camille felt relaxed inwardly when she saw that Leo picked the bed the previous Leo used the most.

"First and foremost, let's talk about the nature of this world. Like you'd just witnessed, magic exists in this world. This is possible because of the mana that fills this world. In order to use magic, you must convert the mana in the air into your own energy."

"Does this mean I can also use magic?!" Leo immediately asked, his voice filled with excitement.

Miss Camille silently stared at him with a pondering face for a moment before speaking, "Probably not."

"Eh?! Why not?!" Leo's heart sank the moment he heard.

"Because not everyone is born with the ability to use magic. Even in this world that is highly reliant on magic, about 60 percent of the world's population are unable to use magic. As for you, who was born in a world without magic, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to use magic. As for Oswald, he won't be able to use magic because he doesn't have any affinity." Miss Camille explained.

And she continued, "Furthermore, the previous Leo was also unable to use magic."

"Ah, this sucks…" Leo laid on the bed with a dejected look on his face.

"I was really looking forward to using magic, too… I really want to go home now."

Well, I actually have a affinity now but let's leave it for now.

Seeing the dispirited energy, Miss Camille spoke, "Even if you cannot use magic, you can still use magic artifacts that are infused with mana, and they even have magic spells stored in them. This is what the previous Leo did. However, magic artifacts are very expensive, and they have limited durability."

And she continued, "We can talk about magic later. There is one very important thing beside magic that exists in this world that you must be aware of— vampires."

Leo's eyes widened with shock.

"Did you just say vampires? Like the ones that suck your blood and stuff?" He asked in a trembling voice.

I was quite angry when I heard his words. He was straight out prejudicing against vampires. Does he think every vampire are same? Only lowest of vampires suck blood. The royal vampires like me only drinks blood occassionally for taste.

"So vampires exist in your world as well? The vampires in this world suck on mana instead of blood, though." Miss Camille said.

'Of course!! That is common sense. Vampires are mana creatures so ofcourse they would devour mana. Only weak vampires need blood to sustain their body.' I thought inwardly.

Leo shook his head. "Yes and no. Vampires exist, but only in movies and fiction."

"Is that so? Anyways, vampires here look exactly like us humans, but they have a very distinct appearance. White hair and red eyes. If you see one, run away, or you'll die."

"They're like animals but with human intelligence, and their instincts tell them to hunt humans and absorb our mana." Miss Camille answered.

"What happens if they suck our mana? Does that also mean humans without mana are safe from them?" Leo asked.

"All humans have mana in their body, including those that cannot use magic. If someone loses all of their mana, they will die a very slow and painful death. However, that rarely happens unless it is done by a vampire."

Leo swallowed nervously, and he raised his hand, "Another question. Do vampires just wander around the street looking for their prey?"

"No. Most major cities in this world are protected by a barrier that prevents all vampires from entering. However, the barriers aren't perfect, so vampires sometimes sneak into cities. Once again, this rarely happens. As long as you stay inside the city, you'll be safe."

"Any questions?"

"A lot…" Leo sighed.

"And you? Oswald?" She then asked me.

I shook my head in a no.

"You can save them for another time then. We'll now talk about your existence in this world." Miss Camille said to Leo.

"For your own safety, do not tell anybody that you're actually from another world, do you understand?" Miss Camille warned us with a serious face.

"Can I ask why?" Leo asked out of curiosity.

"Do you want to be put in a prison cell and become a lab rat?" Miss Camille narrowed her eyes at him.

"Of course not!"

"Then it would be in your best interest to keep your mouth shut. As for your backstory, we'll say that you're suffering from amnesia, hence why you do not remember anything done by the previous Leo. Although no one knows that previous Oswald died, they knew that you have lost yoir memories so you would be fine Oswald. Do you understand?"

"I do." We both nodded earnestly.

"Good. Now I have a question for you. Do you have any experience with combat?"

"Uhh… I've fought a couple of class bullies in my life, but besides that…" He shook his head.

"I have practiced sword arts before." I smiled.

"Then you'll need to practice in combats. If you wish to stay as a student in this school or survive this world, you'll need to learn how to fight. 'Leo' used a sword, so you'll also learn to use one. Previous Oswald used a scythe. You might also need to learn it." Miss Camille pondered.

"What about magic? I know there's a good chance that I cannot use magic, but I still want to try!!" Leo exclaimed

Miss Camille sighed and said, "Fine, we can try later. However, even if you can, by some miracle, use magic, you still won't be able to use magic freely."

"What do you mean?" Leo tilted his head.

"Did you already forget? Previous you cannot use any magic. If you suddenly start using magic, people will start questioning you, which will cause plenty of problems. Although we can use magic artifacts to disguise your magic, we can talk about that later— if you can even use magic."

"I understand." We nodded.

"One more thing. 'Leo' is known for being cool-headed and always calm, and based on our conversation so far, you're quite the opposite."

Leo shrugged, "Actually, I'm usually quiet and reserved. However, I'd just been transferred to another world where magic and vampires exist. I can't help but be excited, you know?"

After talking to each other for some more time, Miss Camille said to us, "Are you ready to 'come back from the dead'?"

"Did you really have to say it like that?" Leo showed a bittersweet smile and I just chuckled at his funny face.

He proceeded to close his eyes and take a deep breath.

"Alright, I am ready," he said as he opened his eyes.

"I am also ready." I replied as I stood up and stretched my arms.

Miss Camille unlocked the door.
