Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 265 - Plans for future

Chapter 265 - Plans for future

Hearing Lith say those words, Lilith felt warm in her heart. She kissed Lith's forehead and hugged him.

"Thank you, baby."

Lith hugged her back and said, "I love you, mama."

"I love you too, baby." Lilith replied back.

The two sat silently like that for a while with Lilith being in Lith's embrace.

Lilith then taught a few things to Lith and had him drink her blood. She left after doing so, leaving Lith alone in his room.

Lith freshened up and decided to meet Ralph and Dennis. Their vacation was going to start in three days and it would last for a month.

He texted the two to come down and they did. The three sat near the gla.s.s table in the lounge room.

"How have you two been?" Lith asked the two as they got settled.

It had been almost a month since they met, he thus asked them that.

"Good." Ralph said a single word and stopped speaking.

Dennis laid back on his chair and said, "the past one month was boring but good. I got to play lots of games after I was done training and studying."

Lith nodded hearing their answers. He got up and walked towards the teapot. He brewed some tea and asked the two,

"What about your magic ranks? When do you expect to break through to Rank 3?"

Ralph thought about it for a bit and said, "probably two months."

"Yeah, same for me as well. Around two months. Why'd you ask, Your Highness?"

Lith smiled and said, "to see if me having Miss Emilia around for a month made your progress slow down or not."

Dennis nodded and said, "it didn't. There was Miss Sel guiding and helping us while you were with Miss Emilia."

"Good to know." Lith said and he served tea to the two and sat down.

He took a sip of tea and said, "what are your plans for the future?"

Ralph took a sip too and said, "how far into the future you're asking?"

"For the next five years."

Ralph didn't answer Lith immediately and thought about it for a bit. A few seconds later, he said,

"I hope I will become a Rank 7 or 8 by then. Adventure, study, and cultivate. That's the three things I'll be doing for the next five years."

Lith nodded in understanding. "What about you, Dennis?"

"Same as Ralph, Your Highness. But I also aspire to be a pro gamer and a big streamer." Dennis said seriously.

Lith and Ralph stared at Dennis for a few seconds and tried to check whether he was joking or not.

Dennis didn't notice their stares as he was busy drinking the tea.

Lith turned to look at Ralph and asked, "are you going to tell him, or should I do it?"

"You do it. I don't want to deal with this idiot." Ralph said in a neutral tone and sipped tea.

Dennis looked at Ralph and asked, "who are you calling an idiot?"

Ralph didn't look at Dennis but said while continuing to sip tea, "have a guess."

Dennis knitted his brows but then eased them and smiled. "My name wasn't mentioned, it's definitely not me."

What Dennis said made Ralph stop drinking tea and look towards him. Lith too stared at Dennis.

"Dennis, are you okay in the head?" Lith asked.

"What? What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"Anyway, I just want to tell you, you probably can't be a streamer." Lith changed the topic.

"Why!?" Dennis got up and said with his brows furrowed.

Ralph put his teacup down and gazed at Dennis. "Don't be an idiot. You know the reason, you're just ignoring it."

"What reason?"

Ralph knitted his brows and asked, "You seriously don't know? And you seriously want to be a streamer?"

"Well, of course." Dennis said with a.s.surance.

"Dennis, you're the heir of an Emperor Rank Clan. You can't make public appearances like that." Lith answered this time.

"Your family's, as well as your own future reputation would be ruined if you do that." Ralph added.

Dennis frowned hearing it. There were such major consequences? Dennis thought about these things seriously. After a few seconds, he asked,

"Can I really not be a streamer?"

Ralph shook his head. He knew Dennis's position well since he himself was an heir of an Emperor Rank family.

Dennis felt sad knowing this. The dreams of a thirteen year old vampire got crushed before he could even act on them.

Ralph and Dennis were very mature for their age. n.o.body would think of them as mere thirteen year olds. But sometimes, their maturity goes away and they become their true selves.

'It seems serious. He really doesn't seem to be joking about it.' Lith thought to himself.

Lith cleared his throat, grabbing the two's attention.

"There's a way."

"What?"

"What?"

The two asked simultaneously, not understanding what Lith was speaking of.

"I mean, there is a way for Dennis to become a streamer." Lith explained.

The two fell silent as Lith said that and waited for him to finish explaining.

Lith turned to look at Dennis and said, "all you have to do is to put on a disguise and stream. And also have a voice changer. That way, there won't be any problems."

"Ah!" Dennis exclaimed in realization.

"Oh." Realization dawned upon Ralph as well.

Dennis clicked his tongue in annoyance and hitting his head, he said, "why did I not think of that before."

Ralph didn't speak. He was quiet and was wondering why he wasn't able to come up with such an answer.

Lith then said, "but, remember, streaming can only be done as a hobby. You can't do it full time."

Dennis nodded and said, "yes, Your Highness. Don't worry, I never planned for doing it full time. My goal is to be the world's strongest, not a streamer."

Lith nodded and Ralph too did the same. At least he still had some sense left in him.

The three then chatted over the topic of streaming for a few minutes and when that was done, Ralph asked Lith,

"What are your plans for the next five years?"

Lith smiled and said, "same as you. But… I won't be graduating from the academy. I am dropping out."

"What!?"

"WHAT!?"

The two expressed their shock as they heard this.

Was Lith out of his mind? Dropping out from the world's prestigious academy, n.o.body has ever done that! n.o.body was stupid enough to pull such a stunt.

Being an alumni of Abalax World Academy was a very meritorious deed. There were lots and lots of benefits and only someone stupid would say no to this.

They didn't expect Lith of all people to say these things. They thought very highly of Lith, him saying this made them question a few things.

Lith chuckled and said to the two, "calm down. I know what's going on in your minds. And no, I didn't take this decision without thinking it through. Let me explain."

The two's ears perked up and they paid full attention to what Lith was saying.

Lith continued, "I was doing nothing but attending cla.s.ses and maintaining my attendance. Give tests in which there was no compet.i.tion for me at all. I didn't learn much here and whatever I learnt was all thanks to Ar– Teacher Arya and Miss Emilia."

"To grow, I need compet.i.tion."

The two fell silent. They could understand where Lith was getting at.

After a few seconds of pondering, Ralph said,

"Understandable. You are probably the strongest in the academy right now and n.o.body could give you a challenge. It makes sense to drop out."

Lith nodded. "That's right. There are also many other reasons, but that's the main one. I am not learning anything new here."

Ralph and Dennis nodded.

Dennis asked this time, "will you go back to Nightingale, Your Highness?"

Lith shook his head. "No, I'll adventure out. I haven't decided where to start from yet, but I soon will. Once I do, I'll drop out."

Dennis nodded. He then asked, "will the academy allow you to drop out?"

Lith smiled and asked, "why would they not?"

"Because you're the strongest in our batch and also from the Prince of a main race. They might not want to lose you." Dennis said.

Ralph nodded and added, "the academy would lose face if you were to drop out."

Lith simply smiled and said, "it's fine. They'll still let me."

"How are you so sure, Your Highness?" Dennis asked.

Lith chuckled and said, "you do know who founded the academy, right?"

The two feel quiet as they heard this. They obviously knew who were the founders. It was the Supreme Ranks of the eight main races.

Ralph, after a few seconds, said, "yeah, you can probably drop out easily."

Lith nodded.

Dennis then said, "Your Highness, instead of asking us a question and hinting us about things, you could've just said, 'do you know who my mom is?' and spoken like a young master."

"I could've what!?"
