Once Ben, Cassandra, and Rex left the principal's office, they met Master Fixten again and this was when the master suggested that they spend today in the academy to prevent follow-up assassination attempts.
This was just a precautionary measure since few assassins would dare to move against the students of the Obedin Mystic Academy a 2nd time.
The academy was lax at times, but protecting the students and the dignity of the academy was one of the priorities that stood at the very top.
Master Fixten's only regret was the real culprit not being found.
Since all the assassins stayed true to their dark creed and remained mute till death, no evidence was found and the real culprit who wanted the students dead remained in the dark.
Though Master Fixten clearly knew who was responsible for the assassination attempt, without evidence, he was powerless to move.
Another important reason why he urged the 3 students to spend today in the academy was that according to tradition, the official graduation ceremony followed a day after the end of the graduation tournament.
Tomorrow was the day of the official graduation ceremony.
Once Master Fixten laid down his reasons to the students, they did not argue to oppose it so they stayed in the academy. They thanked him repeatedly for his help before they left for the students' quarters.
"Rex, I heard that you suffered an attack, are you ok?"
Once Rex and his 2 friends entered the students' quarters where some students also decided to stay, they were bombarded with questions mostly aimed at Rex since rumors already spread.
This was a strange experience for Rex. After his performance in the graduation tournament, every student's outlook of him already experienced a meteoric change that he found hard to adapt to immediately.
For the first time in his life, everyone was not looking at him with scorn. All these were the benefits that strength brought.
Rex clenched his fists secretly. "I will get more strength!"
Once they got to the part of the student's quarters that was arranged for them, they took different beds and slept to rest as they were exhausted after the long day but only 2 minutes in, Ben interrupted.
"I'm sorry guys, I never intended to break the keep no secret code…"
"I know you guys are mad and I completely understand, but you have to understand that I just couldn't tell you guys about this, I promise not to keep secrets again, please forgive me…"
"…" Silence reigned for a few seconds, Rex and Cassandra were speechless.
"No worries, we forgive you". Both of them responded almost at the same time as they shot down all Ben's attempts to apologize.
Ben was confused by the weird behavior of his 2 friends but he was nonetheless satisfied that they had already forgiven him, he slept satisfied.
Silence reigned for the next 10 minutes as they all slowly drifted into the world of sleep, but Rex did not, or better still, he could not.
Today was the most eventful day of his life, it would be weird for him to sleep so easily. Rex had so many things that bothered his mind that he didn't know where to start, he had to pretend to prevent his friends from worrying about him.
Though his pretending succeeded in deceiving them, it could not deceive his heart, he was still traumatized and torn apart by everything that happened today.
In the end, Rex decided to leave the thinking for later, at least after his graduation ceremony. The only thing that he could not leave for later was the system, this was such a revolutionary encounter that he was too curious to leave.
And besides, he somehow felt that speaking with the so-called vampire system would brighten his mood a bit to forget about all that happened today.
"Umm…, system, are you there?"
[Yes, Rex, I am always at your service!]
Once that word 'system' was whispered by Rex, a pair of eyes snapped open opposite him but he was not aware as he was captivated by his system.
Rex organized the ideas in his head before he continued. "I know about my family, the hivemind, but I don't know about this system, what is it?"
[Accessing programmed system introduction…]
[The hivemind contains all the information of our history and the upgrade inheritance, while the system is the means for you to access the inheritance.]
[The system was designed to aid you in adapting to the mystic world and surviving. Its main goal is to help you realize your powers, that is the power of the upgrade mystic ability and your awakened bloodline.]
[Throughout the years, the Vector family bloodline experimented and awakened special powers called bloodline powers.]
[The Vampire bloodline that you awakened is the one with the greatest compatibility to you, the system adapted to accommodate all your powers.]
[Access the system status to understand your present state and your powers.]
After the long reveal, Rex was stunned. "What are you exactly? An A.I?"
[You can see me as an A.I, you can see me as a treasure soul, all that matters is that I am the intelligence that was artificially created by the Ancient Vector elders through the ability of the upgrade to assist your mystic journey.]
"Ok, so give me this system status".

"Yawn…!"
"Such a long system status…"
Rex kept on being amazed as he looked at the rows of messages in his system status. He got a detailed understanding of some things from the status, but he could not finish reading it, he was too exhausted already.
Rex dozed off mid-reading but one thing was sure, his mood improved.
