Chapter 266 - Where are all the lolis?
Vampire's Slice Of Life
Chapter 266 - Where are all the lolis?
Lith was sitting in his floor's living room and was contemplating a few things. It had been a few hours since he, Ralph, and Dennis talked.
Lith discussed a lot of things with them and also shared a bit of his future plans.
Ralph and Dennis understood that dropping was the best for Lith and they also realized that once he was gone, the two would also be left without any competition.
Abalax World Academy was for sure the number one in the world with there being top class students present. But, Ralph and Dennis also weren't any ordinary kids.
Being from an Emperor Rank bloodline, they were naturally very strong. As of now, nobody was a match for them except for Lith in their batch and a few seniors from fourth, fifth, and sixth year. Listening to Lith made them understand that once they defeated these people, there would be no challenge left for them either.
Ralph and Dennis understood this fact well. They also knew that they only learnt more when it was Arya, Emilia, or Sel who taught the two. In regular classes, there was not much available for them to learn. Sure, they learnt a few new things here and there but those could be done so via adventuring as well.
Thus, in the end, the two also decided to drop out if there was no challenge available to them. It would be easy for Ralph since he only had to talk to his mother about it. She loved him dearly and would probably agree with his wishes as well; it was not a problem for Ralph to drop out.
But for Dennis, the case was a bit different. He had to convince not one, but two Emperor Ranks. It was very challenging. His mother and father both were Emperor Ranks and they were also a bit strict and conservative in their ways. Dennis didn't have as much freedom as Lith and Ralph whose parents supported them in every way possible.
Lith and Ralph had the freedom to decide what they wanted to do, but Dennis didn't have as much, for now at least. His parents decided what he should and shouldn't be doing and Dennis couldn't really go against them.
But, things weren't too bad. Dennis's parents were understanding people and he may have a chance to do what Lith and Ralph were doing.
Thus, Ralph and Dennis would also drop out in future; the chances were high.
Lith was thinking what he should while sitting on the sofa. He was aware of the fact that Ralph and Dennis had gotten influenced by him and if they did do that, Lith thought of going on adventures with them and increase magic rank.
"If I leave now, where should I go? I hardly have any connection or know of any place outside. Having no starting point, the entire world is the playground. I can start anywhere I want. So where to? Let's see… I have only been to a few cities in the Vampire Continent and Neutral Continent.
Vampire Continent is a big no, since they might guess who I am and it would be a bit troublesome. I would need to be in disguise over there, too bothersome. As for other continents…"
Lith thought about each continent and weighed the pros and cons of going and starting there.
He rejected one continent after another due to various reasons and finally decided that he'll first start with the Neutral Continent.
The reason for him choosing this was simple. There were a lot of dungeons in the Neutral Continent and many were suitable for people under Rank 9. There was also Jingmei Guild here where he previously had some dealing. This was a good starting point and Lith wouldn't have to roam around aimlessly.
Dungeons would provide Lith with money, experience, and connections.
Money and connections could be achieved by him even without doing anything since he was a big shot. But, Lith needed experience, since he wasn't really born with it.
Trying to make money and gaining connections would result in him gaining a lot of experience. He would come across all sorts of people and monsters and dealing with them would mean gaining experience.
Plus, adventuring would also result in him understanding the fundamental laws of the world better, which in turn would result in an increase in his magic cultivation and much faster ascension.
Lith had the potential to breakthrough with just mediation alone and he could become at least a Saint Rank by doing just that. However, it would take a lot of years if he were to adapt to this.
That's why adventuring was needed, which would make him understand the laws better. This would act as a catalyst and decrease the amount of time needed for ascension.
Meditation to become Rank 4 would need Lith around two or three years but if he comprehended the laws well, it would only take around six months. That was how big the difference was. As the rank increased, this gap would only increase.
"Alright then, I'll look around first and then get to know about this place. After that, I'll begin my journey. Now, another question is when to leave the academy? Let's see… I don't have anything to do here, I don't have anyone to part ways with here, and I don't know anyone here." Lith muttered after a while.
He continued, "sigh… who would know that my school life would be this bad. There are minors here, everyone's under eighteen. How am I supposed to get together with them. Ralph and Dennis are still very mature for their age and I don't feel as if I am talking to a thirteen year old. The two are good. But the others… well… let's just say they are a bit too young."
Lith slumped on the sofa and said in a tired tone, "I thought I would be able to have a good school life, do what I missed in my previous life, and spend the upcoming four or five years happily."
"I wanted to have that highschool romance that I never had and could only feel jealous when I watched anime. I wanted to date a cute tsundere or deredere but I am no lolicon or pedo. It was only when I was few days into schooling that I realized everyone's a minor."
"I, Lith, am team milf. Always. It's milf supremacy and the ones who like lolis, no, lewd lolis, should be burned. Lolis are meant to be protected and taken care of and given lots of headpats and cuddles."
"Why did I never came across one such person in the academy? Where are all the lolis?"
Lith turned over and lay flat on his back. He then sighed again and said, "I wanted to have friends with whom I could watch movies and play games all night, but who knew I would be busy cultivating and studying."
"The same thing is repeating in this life as well. Just wake up, study, sleep, and repeat. I've done this for most of my previous life and this is also repeating right now. Thankfully, it's not too bad. Cultivating is nice. Feeling the magical power is nice. The feeling of looking down at everyone is nice as well."
"But… it's nothing to feel about. These are all stupid things that I shouldn't feel happy for. There's no benefit for doing so. I should strive for greatness and achieve greatness. I shouldn't show off my greatness."
"Mom is such a big powerhouse, but she never flexes her prowess in front of others or looks down on them. She just wants to be around me and big sis, love us, hug us, watch us, basically take part in our daily lives. She has no other wishes. Sigh… I don't understand the lifestyle of an immortal like mom. How can she just do such a monotonous thing?"
"Will I ever be able to become like her? Just watch the daily lives of my kids while sitting in a room of a big castle? How is mom not bored?"
Lith got up from the couch and stretched.
"Anywho, all talks aside, I first need to talk to mom about dropping out. I haven't told her anything about it yet. She loves me so much that she'll just agree with whatever I want. However, I am no spoiled brat or a young master that doesn't consider his mother's opinion. Let's see it mom has something useful to say to me. Who knows, she might just tell me to not drop."
Lith took out his phone and was about to call his mother when he stopped and said to himself softly,
"There's also Arya…'
"I miss Arya. She was my teacher, a master of sorts, and now my lover. I wish I could've seen her before I dropped out. But it's fine, I guess. Because even if I leave, she'll come find me wherever I am."
Lith felt warm in his heart as he said this. He knew Arya loved him deeply. Even though she had expressed her love to him just once and only for a few minutes, it was enough for Lith to understand how deep it was.
"Anyway, let's call mom again and ask her about the drop. I should've just asked her when she was here yesterday but welp, the timing wasn't good. I'll just bother her again and compensate her with lots of kisses and hugs, hehe."
