Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 135 Yeah we believe you, Dennis.

Next day.
Lith really couldn’t sleep due to the excitement, anxiety and the nervousness he felt. He didn’t know he would feel such emotions. He thought, having done the deeds already and being teased by his mother so much, he has become a professional in being shameless and in not getting embarassed.
Though he was right, it was only partially right. The above mentioned things couldn’t cover up for his inexperience self who had never dated anyone, even in his past life. This was his first time and he was bound to feel such emotions.
A good thing was, all the years of training has made him have better control over his emotions. If that wasn’t the case, he would’ve been mentally unstable right now and would be freaking out.
What he was going to do now was the same as a rank 1 having a match next day with a rank 9 or above. Add on to that, there was the whole world watching this fight.
The emotions that the rank 1 would be going through before the fight, was the same what any person in Lith’s shoes would feel. Though it won’t be that exaggerated of course, but would almost be a similar kind of feeling.
Lith went to shower and after he was done, he dressed up in the academy uniform and went down to the common floor. He was the earliest there because he didn’t sleep the whole night and was up early. He made some tea for himself and sat down on the couch and waited for the other two to arrive while he sipped on tea.
“Goodmorning.” Ralph walked down the stairs and said to Lith in a neutral tone as he walked towards him.
“Goodmorning, Ralph.” Lith greeted Ralph back.
Ralph got to the teapot and poured himself some tea that Lith made and sat down on the couch. Drinking tea and waiting for the others to arrive was a daily thing. The others generally here referred to Dennis who was usually late. These two were always present before time and Dennis made sure to always get them late.
Thankfully, they were the toppers and had some leeway or else it would’ve had a very bad result in their overall scores. Attendence was counted daily and failure for reaching on time would result in marked absent. 75% attendence was compulsory and below it would mean a student has failed that semester and would need to repeat again.
“No, we are not.” Lith said sipping tea.
“That’s right.” Ralph replied.
“Huh?” Dennis stopped in his tracks and asked in confusion.
“You’ve become so used to being late that I am assuming whenever you wake up, you think you’ve gotten late and rush everything. It’s 6:45am, there’s still 15 minutes left for the class to start. You’re up early today.” Lith replied with a smile.
“Oh. Hehe. I’ve changed. I will always be on time, I made this resolution yesterday and see, here I am, fulfilling it.” Dennis said smugly.
“Yeah we believe you, Dennis.” Lith replied with a smile.
“We definitely do.” Ralph said with a neutral face while sipping tea.
“I am saying the truth! I really made a resolution!” Dennis said hurriedly.
“Like we said, we didn’t deny it and believe in you.” Lith said smiling once again.
“Argh.” Dennis couldn’t win against their sarcastic replies and thus gave up. It was 2v1 and he was bound to lose it.
After a short morning chat, the trio left their dorms and went to attend their first class in the main building – advanced botany.
Ralph’s punishment would start from the day after tomorrow and he could still attend classes. He wasn’t notified about the punishment yet, nor was anybody else in the whole academy. His punishment would be announced the day after tomorrow.
The advanced botany class was half theory and half practical class. They would be taught theory while doing things practically. Today they were supposed to learn about the plant called as Jhasko.
Jhasko was a plant found in deserted and hot climatic region with very scarce nutrients present to grow up with. Jhasko was the equivalent of cactus from Earth according to Lith however, Jhasko could move, hunt and produce nutrients itself and nourish the ground present in these nutrient scarce areas.
Though it could nourish the areas, it would take hundreds of thousands of years and it would only be able to do so if it was able to hunt other beasts and plants. Jhasko were a weak magical plant species and thus it was almost useless.
However, they still needed to learn about it in botany. What they were learning today was the mechanism on how Jhasko could produce nutrients as it would someday be helpful to them. Lith learnt the mechanism, so did Ralph and Dennis today via experiments and theory.
The advanced botany class was over after three hours. Next was advanced magic class that ran for another three hours and this was fully practical and not much theory was involved.
Being the toppers and in advanced classes, they didn’t get too big of a break in between the two lectures. They were given just a short half an hour break. Such was the life of a topper. Their every minute was given priority by the academy and they ensured that they themselves didn’t do things that would result in wastage of these bright students’ time.
The three were free after six hours of classes and were now hungry. They barely were able to eat anything in the half an hour break. The three learnt their lesson from last time and decided to not eat lunch at cafeteria or public places as it may lead to a scene that occurred previously once again.
They brought their food from the stalls present on the sky island and were sitting in the park and having lunch together.
Lith still had a few hours before his date with Arya and was trying his best to distract himself with whatever activities he could. He was starting to feel more anxious and nervous as the time neared.
