Chapter 9 - A Day's Worth

Vivi and Lily Theron, Both sisters were part of the main cohort, And as one should expect from main characters, they also had pretty powerful Threads,

Vivi had Three Threads, 

Thread of Heal | Life: Layer- 4

Thread of Decay: Layer-7

Thread of Gate: Layer-3

And Lily had two Threads,

 Thread of Eclipse: Layer-4 

Thread of Oblivion: Layer-6

So yeah both of them were pretty powerful.

'I don't know when my op abilities are going to be unlocked, Hopefully they are as broken as them'

As Sol was lampooning, Phoebe started walking towards me.

'Oh Gods! What does she want now?'

Is she looking down on me, She was not at all like this in the novel. Sure she was little haughty and cold on outside but she was just as playful and sensitive.

Honestly, He would be lying if he said that he wasn't angry.

She walked up slowly, and said in a careful tone " …You're sulking?"

Sol glanced up and said in a even tone "I'm not sulking. Just… thinking."

She raised an eyebrow, tone cool "Thinking about how I flattened you in front of everyone?"

Sol grimaced and said a little annoyed "…Thanks for reminding me."

She sighed, then sat down beside him without asking and said "I thought you were stronger. That's why I went all out. Guess I overestimated you."

Sol once again said clearly annoyed "You don't have to rub it in."

Sol was honestly ready to throw some shade on her, Sol thought maybe because of the passive ability, was he able to remain without lashing out.

Then she tilted her head, and said narrowing her eyes "I'm not." paused, voice softer but still firm "…I came to apologise." 

Sol blinked, surprised asked "You? Apologise?" 

She smirked faintly, but her gaze avoided his "Don't look so shocked. I know when I've messed up. I should've been more careful. You looked like you were ready to pass out after the first hit." 

"Yeah, well… maybe I just need more training." Sol scoffed

With a playful glint in her eyes, she said in a cool tone. "Or maybe you could train with me" 

Before Sol could say something,

She leaned back, arms behind her head, with a haughty smile "I'll make up for it."

"Seriously? You are asking me after the spar just now?" I said in exasperating tone.

She pretended to sound bored and said "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not doing this for you. It's just… unsatisfying beating someone who can't even put up a fight."

Without giving him time to answer She stood up, brushing off her skirt, And while looking forward quietly, almost teasing said "And… don't sulk so much. Little vampire."

She immediately walked away, leaving him both bewildered and oddly motivated.

'Little vampire?? Little vampire?? I am not that short!, You are Just 1 inch tall. 

Sol was really bewildered 

After that interaction, Everything happened with out anything Notable details and the classes over.

With that Sol got home trained a little, He especially got motivation for training because of what happened today and trained a little harder. He did some body strengthening exercises, And Then Sol tried to dry out his essence using Chains over and over again until he was on the verge of passing out.

And after that he straight for the bed.

***

Sol woke up in the evening, till then both Len and Lance had returned and were in pretty bad shape, He felt a little better knowing that He was not the only one that had it rough.

After that Sol made dinner for everyone and after eating everyone went to bed.

As soon as he touched the bed he fell asleep

***

(Phoebe POV)

It was a very luxurious Room, Phoebe was lying on the bed facing towards ceiling 

'Will he really come train with me??'

'No I must not think like that, I am the most beautiful girl on the campus. Why wouldn't he come??'

Today was like any other day but when she entered the entered academy she saw two students that caught her eye, First was a athletic boy with black hair and black eyes he was good looking nothing to crazy, He had total of 4 Threads just like me. The most notable one's being 'Thread of Singularity' and 'Thread of Separation', And with that she decided to talk with him Once the ceremony ends, But As her eyes move around Another boy caught her attention, He had Pure whit hair with Bluish white Irises, with his sharp face he looked really beautiful. He was also on the shorter side which to me was looking little cute. But the most Important thing about him was that he had 7 Threads, With first Three being Normal Which were 

Thread of Chains-Layer 1

Thread of Stillness-Layer 1

And Thread of Glass-Layer 1

But the other four were very confusing 

Out of other four she could only see One clearly That was 'Thread of Zero'

Out of the Three, Two only had question marks Infront of it. Like he himself hasn't unlocked it yet.

And the last one was constantly glitching Making her unable to see it.

And with that she decided, That she was going to get him to her side no matter what.

After the ceremony, She went towards classroom and tried to spot the white haired boy.

After spotting him she quickly sat beside him and started the conversation, After exchanging name's he quickly averted his eyes and a awkward silence descended, Just then she saw his sharp white teeth poking his lips, And decided to ask him about it.

He said that he used to think vampires were pretty cool and Phoebe herself loved vampires she would hole up in her room reading vampire erotica and pretty questionable stuff, As she thought about it her face started to burn up, But Just then Their teacher interrupted. After that we went to another professor for taking a light spar. 

Phoebe thought this was a pretty good chance form a casual friendship and decided pair up with him, even forced him into it.

But While sparing she realized, He was weak and lacked a proper technique.

So she went up to him and saw him with frown on his face,

After seeing that she embarrassed him infront of everyone she felt a little guilty, so she started a conversation with him and apologised to him.

She also asked him to train with her, Thinking that it would be a good chance for her to progress in forming a bond.

After that she came home and went straight to bed 

After recounting the events that happened, she turned on stomach and buried herself in pillow and slowly muttered "little vampire"

'Gods! What was I thinking saying that!!

And with her red ears she went to sleep.
