Chapter 139: Don’t Read Now

I’m working on the chapter  *sad noises* 

Writer’s block is not good.  I having trouble writing.

This chapter is just a placeholder

“See! The beast is very obedient.” Keith patted the beast on the back.

“I should probably give it a name…” Keith thought.

“Young master, you don’t need to keep it here just to protect me.”

“I do need the beast, but this time it’s necessary to keep it here so the blood-qi doesn’t get affected. I need to get back to the training facility so I leave it in your care, Rena. And you, don’t do anything you’ll regret later.”

Keith left through the front door after warning the beast.

Rena stared at the beast that had a terrified expression and stared at the gate with anxiety. When Keith left the building, it heaved a sigh of relief.

“So you can understand what I’m saying?” Rena asked the beast. Doing so, she pointed her hand toward it.

The beast could understand Kieth’s intentions due to the bond between them, but Rena’s words were foreign to it. The beast looked at Rena and shivered.

“Are you afraid of young master?” Rena asked the beast.

Still no response.

She brought a picture of Keith and showed the beast and it lowered its head.

“So, you are afraid of him. I know he’s quite scary to other people. You are his pet right, do you need blood like him or do you eat normal food?”

Rena quickly brought two bowls. One filled with blood and the other filled with cooked meat. She made it for herself, but she brought half to see what the beast liked to eat.

The beast sniffed the two bowls and strangely enough, it ate the meat and also the cooked meat. It was a little uncomfortable after eating the meat, but it went through without a hitch.

“You can consume both…  Interesting… I might have to wait for young master to come back and explain to me about the beast. He also said he would explain the disciplines to me, I wonder what that is?” Rena mumbled.

She stared at the beast that was licking the blood cheerfully from the bowl.

“Should I give it a name in the meantime?” Rena was thinking hard for a good name that Keith would like.

While Rena was busy with knowing the beast, Keith was at the blood warrior training facility. He was watching the fight of Sen and another middle stage baron.

Sen was clearly leading the fight as the opponent was not as fast as him. Sen’s warrior frame was stronger and he was pushing the opponent to the edge.

“You’re here. Sen has been fighting opponents for an hour. He says he wants to be the strongest baron below the final stage. Clearly many students wanted to challenge him, but he’s handling them very well.” Garion, who was also watching the fight, approached Keith.

“I can see. He seems exhausted, but still pushing himself to the brim. I think he will break through to the final stage baron soo enough.” Keith said.

Sen threw a punch to the lower abdomen of the opponent and knocked him out. Wiping his sweat off his forehead, he glanced at Keith and Garion and smirked. Raising his hand, he showed the students he was the champion and not the weak baron they all knew.

After Kieth returned, many students who were supposed to get their warrior frame checked flocked towards him. Keith was also looking forward to the analysis of the scans.

The first three vampires lined up and Keith scanned their warrior frame one by one. The first two had a normal warrior frame with not so many hidden skills. They were based on active strength and endurance boost.

He quickly came up with the revised warrior frames but kept it to him. He had to engrave them into a scroll and then give them away after making easily understandable steps. The third vampire was a final stage baron, who was recently broken through, as it was apparent from his blood core.

Keith scanned his warrior frame and found that his warrior frame had a special component that supported several joints for the shoulder and ankles. Because of this, his speed was very fast compared to other warrior frames.

After analyzing the warrior frame, Keith checked the implementation which was half wrong. According to the faults, there were supposed to be four more joints in the wrists and knees.

Due to the missing joints, the vampire couldn’t take out the full power of the warrior frame. Keith wondered if he could merge and integrate this joint structure with his own warrior frame.

‘Can you do it?’ Keith asked the system.

[This warrior frame looks similar to your own, just a slight change in structure here and there, so I think there will be no problem integrating the changes. But I have to warn you… The warrior frames were carefully crafted based on the needs of the family. If you change too much, it will create problems later on.]

‘Aren’t you here so that I don’t get into those problems.’

[It doesn’t work like that. For example, your warrior frame is quite stable, but if I make slight change, the stability will change slighty. It might not affect the overall structure, but it will behave differently from the written records as it will be a one of a kind warrior frame.

Keep in mind, I don’t have all the knowledge about the blood warrior frames and what structures are the best. It is a estimate, based on the information we’ve gathered. That is to say, the more advanced and variety of warrior frame I analyze, the better the reliabilty will be.]

‘So adding these changes to my warrior frame will make it unpredictable due to the uniqueness of the structure?’

[Yes. So I suggest you to keep the techniques and test them with someone else, then after gathering enough samples, we can go ahead ans alter our blood warrior frame structure.]

‘Hmm…” Keith looked at the duo who were talking to the other students.

‘Will it have some serious side effects or a chance to loose all strenght?’ Keith asked.

[Not really. The main issue here is the effeciency and the reliabiluty of te warrior frame. You change your warrior frame stuture if you want, but it will be the first stages and will come with multiple iterations of adjustments.

You can come up with as much revisoins ans test them with Garion and Sen and when the final sample that can exeed the normal output is made, we can directly implement and upgrade it. Your warrior frame is a active one that stays activated all the time. So it will be bad if anything happens when there is fault and you have to change the structure midfight.]]

‘Won’t they get the same problem? I think they are more succeptible to this.’

[We will give them small variations, like one pair of extra joints. See how it does. Diving the revisions with both of them, and merging them after the two half are full proof.]

‘Yeah.. You’re right. I have many things on my plate to run the test on my own..’

Keith thoight about the blood summoning technique and all the other things he had to manage.

Sigh!

“This is the burden of staying at the top. I don’t have any free time.” Keith said softly.

“Is it done?” The student aked whose warrior frame Keith was checking.

“Yes! You have a very good warrior frame, just need some changes to your joints, and you will be in top shape.” Keith took out a scroll and inscribed the revised warrior frame.

“Here, implement it and tell me if anything goes wrong.” Keith handed him the scroll.

After him, several more students came to Keith to analyze their warrior frames. Keith was occupied for two hour analyzing the warrior frmes.

…

‘Nothing intersting..’ Keith plopped on the ground and looekd at the happy faces of the students.

For Garion and Sen, Keith didn’t charge any money, but for these students, he charged based on the complexity of the fault and the time it took him to come up with a revised warrior frame.

All in all, he made a huge amount of gold blood coins from todsy’s little sesion. Garion was in charge of collecting the coins and he was very dilligent about it. He carefully counted all the transfers to the treasury card and reported them to Keith.

“Brother Keith will be the richest student in campus in no time. I can bet that he will be a great merchant in the future. His services will fetch so much money throughout the continent that he will be swiiming in blood coins.” Sen praised kieth with his silver tongue.

“I don’t know. The warrior frame outside the academy will be subpar. I don’t thik it wil b worth it. If higher stage vampires request for my services, then I maybe willing to go. But below, count level, it will be a waste of time.”

Genrally, the students of the crimson academy were the geniuses of the continent. Finding better techniques from others was not possible. After all the vampire council banned the learning of blood-qi techniques for regulaar vampires.

The rest of the vampires were either old nobles, who were stuck at their stage for centuries, like his uncle Rufus, who was still a baron. He didn’t want to waste his time on the likes of them.
