Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

After I asked those questions to Hasan, I asked him the last one…

"No you can't. Just because you were able to accomplish such a great feat it doesn't mean I can simply allow you to freely enter and go out of dungeons. They're our primary source of income for this city after all. We respect other people taking turns on them, they even pay for it." Sighed Hasan. "It is not a privilege I can give you either, these dungeons are handled by the Dungeon Association, which manages them all in this city."

"Ah… So that's how it is…" I sighed.

I had tried to ask him if I could get a special privilege to enter the dungeons whenever I wanted, but I guess even with our great feat, that wasn't possible at all. At this rate, we could potentially go to a dungeon every two weeks seeing how busy and full they always are, and that's counting the privilege that students gets, which is so they can complete their tasks and exams.

"If you're still wanting to hunt more monsters, there's several areas in the Wild Lands where monsters roam. However, they're usually places filled with hunters, so to find monsters you would have to go deeper into the forest… but that's dangerous, as you could meet too many demon nests, so we are currently not allowing students to go out." Said Hasan. "Sorry but you'll have to be patient, Blake. I know you're eager to grow stronger, but so are many other people here."

"Hm, I understand." I nodded. "I'll be patient and sharpen my strength in other ways than defeating monsters."

"Good, that's good to hear, you're a mature and responsible student, I see a bright future, as bright as hero Dylan." Hasan said, suddenly giving me a head pat. "For now, you must be tired, so go rest at your house, we'll handle things from here."

"Alright, thanks." I slowly walked back to the rest of my party.

"What did you asked the director, Blake?" Wondered Eric.

"Ah, just if we could go to the dungeons anytime we wanted. Looks like we need to do many more feats to earn that benefit." I sighed.

"I-I am fairly sure he didn't said that…" Evelyn said.

"Well, Dylan can go to anywhere he wants, right?" I asked her.

"Yes but that's because-"

"He has accomplished many feats and his figure is widely respected, isn't it? Once I can get to this level, or near it, we'll be able to go to any dungeon whenever we want."

"T-That's a little bit of a stretch…"

"It's just better than merely thinking I'll never be able to enter a dungeon whenever I want, right? I like to at least have something to look forward to."

"T-That's okay, yeah…"

Evelyn seemed to find me strange, I guess. That's to be expected, I've always been seen as a rather weird kid since I was born, but I can't help it, my focus sometimes seems abnormal compared to those of my age. Perhaps when I grow up older, people will stop thinking I am strange.

"Heheh, that's how Blake is~ Though I also feel slightly disappointed we can't keep leveling up as we please." Sighed Erika. "Dungeons are the best place to go level up as much as we want!"

"Indeed, I got a lot of levels…" Said Chris.

"Me too, I don't know if I am getting closer to my level cap or something, but perhaps I might Rank Up in this year, hopefully." Eric said.

"I also did a lot of "levels"!" Said Alberta. "Though my Talent is very high in stars, so I am nowhere near close to my level cap… I think."

"Yeah, your level cap at 3 stars is probably around Level 80, or even 100." I wondered, trying to think how this could work. "But because your stars are already a lot, you get more bonus stats each time you level up, meaning that you felt a difference in strength faster through a few levels than most of us did at the beginning with a one-star talent."

"Y-Yeah, you're right!" Alberta realized it. "M-My arms feel way stronger, I think I could even lift Eric!" Alberta suddenly grabbed Eric by his hips and raised him off the ground.

"Uwaaah! A-Alberta?!" Eric suddenly blushed. At the same time, Alberta realized she was doing something embarrassing.

"S-Sorry!" Alberta quickly let him go as she covered her face. "I-I didn't thought about it too deeply…"

"A-Ahahah… D-Don't worry about it." Eric said while feeling embarrassed as well.

"Well, anybody here can lift Eric he's as light as a feather." Laughed Chris.

"If you want to grow stronger you should probably train your body more. How about you join us into doing exercises?" Asked Erdrich.

"I heard Dwarves are very strong physically, so it might be worth giving it a shot." Said Chris.

"Yeah, they're right, join us in our daily routines, Alberta!" Said Eric.

"D-Daily routines?" Asked Alberta, feeling confused about what they were talking about.

Elizabeth quickly decided to explain to our dwarven friend.

"These guys with Blake, every morning they do like a hundred sit-ups, push-ups, and run a few kilometers… They do it to build strength stats. I also do this sometimes but I cannot keep such a rigorous routine." Sighed Elizabeth.

"O-Oh, I had never seen you guys do that…" Alberta was surprised.

"That's because you're too lazy, you only wake up whenever someone comes knocking at your door." Sighed Elfriedden. "Every morning I am annoyed by this group of gorillas running around..."

"Hey! You should join us too, Elfriedden!" Said Chris.

"Yeah! About time you build up more muscle, you're too thin!" Erdrich said.

The two showed off their biceps, making the elf disgusted.

"Ugh, never… I prefer my graceful body instead of one bulging with disgusting muscles." He said cockily.

He's quite narcissistic, indeed.

Once we were back home, I had the time to take a relaxing bath and then we had dinner together.

We were so exhausted that we didn't really spend much time doing anything else, quickly going to sleep.

There's a lot to do, but for now, I should rest.
