Lydia paused . As if waiting to see if Elena was following.
Why is it rare for vampires to leave the warriors academy for the mage academy of spells? Elena asked.
First, 30% of the students can't even achieve the mage Rank, take me, for example, I've been stuck in the 3rd stage of the regular vampire rank for years now.
My dream is to enter into the academy so I can train , get strong, and break through to the next rank.
As everyone knows, those who can achieve the mage Rank would thrive to get to the next Rank,so no one wants to be stuck at the mage Rank for eternity. everyone wants to keep pushing forward in other to progress to possibly higher ranks.
As for those who go to the mage academy, they already know they've hit their limits after their first evolution, so they decide to train better as a mage.
" I see." Elena said.
I guess you're not from around here. Lydia said once more.
"Something like that." Elena said nonchalantly. Lydia was surprised but decided not to prey further.
Finally she asked,is that all you would like to know?
Elena thought for a while before asking... how good are you on hand to hand combat?
Good enough to keep me alive, "she said with a poker face.
Can you teach me a thing or two?
[Lydia sigh], she wasn't pleased with the way things were going between the both of them. she really couldn't refuse Elena's request, afterall Elena had fulfilled her end of the deal.
Knowing she had at most one hour to spare, she decided to teach elena two techniques that were closely related. The Elbow strikes techniques.
"Elbow strikes can be highly effective in self-defense situations when you are in close quarters with an attacker.
Knowing how to throw elbows with power and accuracy is a key aspect of training in hand to hand combat and martial arts, " Lydia said with zero emotion.
She then went on to show Elena how to carry out the different elbow strike techniques.
Lydia started by demonstrating the "Snap elbow strike technique" first she took a few steps forward to close the gap between her and Elena,she then Loosen up her front hand and shoulder, Curled her forearm in tight to her bicep, before Slicing her elbow horizontally across her body, her elbow made contact with Elena, and she felt the power behind Lydia Snap elbow technique,Even though Lydia had not put much power into the attack.
She then went on to explain to elena that the Snap elbow strike technique was a great technique to try in close combat.
After explaining, she asked Elena to repeat everything she just did.
Elena did as asked, but she didn't control the amount of strength she put into the attack. When her elbow made contact with Lydia, She sent her flying back a couple of feet.
Seeing this, Elena was stunned. She quickly made her way to Lydia, who wasn't pleased with the attack one bit.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Elena got a notification alert, knowing what it was since she had just completed the task assigned to her. She ignored the notification and made her way to Lydia.
" What was that for?" Lydia asked in anger.
Elena apologised and tried to reach out to Lydia. She got another notification that automatically opened without her opening it.
Warning!
Host hunger grows, and the host has not consumed any blood for the past 14 hours. The host is advised to consume blood as soon as possible.
After seeing the notification She realised she didn't eat before leaving the castle ,all thanks to a certain grumpy guy who wouldn't allow her rest until she started the task.
Reading her taught, dracula spoke once more
"Quit complaining. The sooner you round up with your low life friend here, the sooner you can go quench your taste."
Shaking her head, she focused her attention on Lydia once more.
This time around, instead of simply demonstrating the move, Lydia decided to explain the process orally before the demonstration.
She explained, "The next technique is called the upward elbow strike!, it is similar to an uppercut, just as an uppercut can be one of the most devastating punches you can throw in a fight when used properly an upward elbow can have a similar effect."
It is meant to slice through the middle of your opponent's guard. The upward elbow strike can be thrown to your opponent's head, chest, gut, or chin, depending on your placement.
To do this, you have to step forward with your lead leg,swing your front elbow in an upward motion while keeping your lead hand near your face."
After explaining Lydia performed the upward elbow strike,this time around ,she didn't care about how strong her attack was, infact she purposely applied more force , the moment her elbow connected to Elena's chin, the force lifted Elena up several feet into the air, before sending her crashing backwards .
System warning
Minus 10 hp, - 5% energy, Host is advised to consume blood to recover lost hp and energy.
With a smug smile on her face , Lydia walked over to Elena and helped her up.
Dracula was laughing in Elena's head. Ha ha, serves you right weakling. At this point, Elena was hurling all the curses she could think of at dracula, the whole time maintaining a poker face.
Lydia did that to take revenge on Elena, but she apologised as if she didn't mean for it to happen. After apologizing, she left in search of her brother. Leaving Elena to go look for alacad.
Entering into the castle, it took elena a long time to find Alacad. When she did, she saw him sitting on a majestic looking throne in the throne room. the room was large and beautiful,filled with vampires of different looks, shapes, and sizes. They all had this aura of confidence surrounding them. The room was filled with various powerful auras. Seeing that alacad was busy and he wasn't alone ,she retired to her room with much pain in her stomach.
