After spending the night thinking of ways to suppress the armour ability but coming up with no solutions Kai was frustrated. When the sun had started to rise Bob who was outside jumped into the room from the window and didn't say anything. He just ignored Kai and curled up on the bed resembling a true cat.

But Kai couldn't be bothered with him as he had more pressing issues to worry about than Bob like his newfound mental state or the fact that he had used up his animagus ability.

After learning that he had blown his ability to transform into an animal of his choosing, he was angry and annoyed at the fact that the [Berserk] Ability (I'm calling the armour ability Berserk because he gains a massive increase in strength and in exchange he has to confront all the character traits he had absorbed from the many beasts he had killed) had caused him to lose his chance. Especially after he had chosen a certain animal -the Belcher's sea snake.

The snake was one of the more unknown snakes but it was extremely poisonous and a normal man would require immediate treatment in order to survive without any after effects. The only reason the venom didn't kill was that of the tiny amount that would be injected into a person's body. But now it was no longer possible.

But there were some positive sides to the owl transformation, he had discovered that he could make a partial transformation and gain the wings of the owl if he wanted to, instead of transforming into a giant owl.

But that still wasn't enough for Kai, however, there was a redeeming quality to his new ability, that he could fly at speeds equivalent to his normal top speeds if not faster and the drain on his energy was his near endless stamina and not his limited blood energy.

He also found out that if he infused his blood energy into the wings then they could turn a deep red and then become extremely hard even defending against his full-blown punches with no problem.

The second feature that he had discovered was that he could shoot out the hardened feathers from his wings and create a rain of bladed feathers that could theoretically cause great pain and death to his non-corporeal enemies like spectres and the such.

He now had two kinds of attacks that could harm the incorporeal his feathers and his [soul aura.] He thought of that maybe the original vampire progenitor of the HP vampires ran into an issue like his regarding his loss of control, so perhaps he would be able to find a clue in the library.

Kai thought it would be worth a shot and decided to skip class in order to find more information concerning his "problem" as well as to avoid the large fan and hater base. He arrived at the library and instead of the student that greeted him yesterday a middle-aged man was sitting at the desk.

Kai walked up to him and asked him politely "Do you know where the Books about the origins of the academy are at?" The librarian was surprised that Kai asked him about a subject like that and smiled. "Well, they are in aisle 23 row 3."

But before Kai could thank the man he continued "But they aren't real and are instead all rumours and legends and considering that you and I are of the same kind I will give you the closest versions to the truth." The man flashed his fangs to Kai and continued

" The story starts with the first of our kind have you heard his story?". "No should I have?" "Well, of course, you should, as a vampire how can you not know about our ancestor. At the same time it is also the origins of the academy, so you will also learn about the origin of the academy at the same time.

Now there are countless theories on how the academy was first built, however, there are only two which are the closest to the truth. The first is the tale of a young farm boy and the other is about the Count Dracula.

I will begin with the first, the farm boy. A few centuries ago during the middle ages, there was a young farm boy who lived happily on a farm and learnt the craft from his father. He took over the farm from his father in his early twenties, and while he was delivering his cargo to the nearby village he met a young woman.

Although she wasn't pretty, something about her drew the young farmer to her. He was immediately smitten and tried to woo her. In the beginning, she rejected him but after a few weeks of unsuccessful wooing by the farmer, she was impressed with his continuous attempts and agreed to date him.

Eventually, they got married and she joined him on the farm. After trying to get pregnant but to no avail the married couple decided to help orphaned children that had no other place to go and hosted them until they felt better. Due to there being a war going on in the country at that time countless families were destroyed, and many children were orphaned.

This continued until the couple's early thirties were the wife was caught a large scale disease spread by the opposing kingdom using dead bodies. She became sick and due to her weaker immunity and eventually passed away.

The farmer was distraught and full of pain and despair over the death of his wife's death. He grieved for weeks and appeared to do all of his actions in a robotic way.

By chance when the farmer was delivering his merchandise in the village, he heard a rumour about a magical book that allowed the user to communicate with the dead and resurrect them.

The farmer was instantly overcome with joy over the fact that there was such an artefact in existence and although it was just a rumour there was a slim chance to resurrect his beloved wife.

However, he had heard that it was kept in the king's treasury and the only way to have a chance to gain the book was to either trade with the king or to steal it. The farmer had a strong constitution but had no skills and the ability to steal the book so he had to earn enough money to buy the book.

The farmer was an intelligent man and spent four years building his business that was developed into the leading company by creating a unique type of manure produced solely on his farm that allowed crops to grow faster.

The king ended up summoning the former farmer to his castle and discussed they exchanged pleasantries before talking about his real objective- giving money to the kingdom in the form of "donations." The king couldn't take any taxes from him because he was merely a merchant by now, he was no longer a citizen of the kingdom his business was spread across various kingdoms so if he wanted he could just abandon the kingdom and live in another.

In the end, the farmer gave the king generous "donations" in exchange for a "worthless" tattered book kept in the treasury. When the farmer received the book he instantly returned to his original farm. He didn't change it after all these years and had left it as it was when his wife was still alive.

The farmer opened the book and saw a summoning of Death, following the instructions he set up a demonic-looking ritual and attempted to summon his lover.

He managed to summon her and just when he was about to give her a physical body, his lover morphed into an enormous black cloaked skeletal figure before taking away his soul as a price for attempting the ritual.

It left him no longer human and instead he was a mix between a demon and a monster. He had enough strength to cause a minor earthquake and a strong lust for blood. After days of rigorous tests, he discovered that he had become a monster. But despite being a monster he discovered that he could still be somewhat human.

After much inner struggling, he decided to set up a school in his farmhouse, due to it being the final wish of his wife before she turned into that ghastly creature. He started gathering orphans off the street and gave them a place to stay and gave them an education.

Once they grew up many of them became successful and founded their own public schools so that other orphans could learn and change their fates.

On one of the days that the vampire prowled the streets looking for orphans, he discovered a dying girl on the ground inside one of the alleys.

He reckoned that since she was already near death then he might as well drink her blood and give her a fast death. When he sank his fangs into her neck he also grazed himself on the uneven cobblestones. His own blood dripped into her own mouth and she healed up and became a vampire at that moment he understood that he could save lives like his wife would have wanted and he was not just a monster anymore.

The school that he had started in his wife's memory is this school, White Rose Academy." The middle-aged librarian said.

"What about the kingdom that spread disease?" Kai asked. "Oh, right I forgot about them, the vampire obviously tortured and killed the creators of the disease.

"Well, what about the other legend, the one about Dracula?" Kai asked with suppressed curiosity.

"Well seeing that you are so eager to hear the story I will tell you. There was once a young heir to a territory called Transylvania known as Vlad Tepes, he was known as Dracula. However, he wasn't the so-called Impaler, instead, he was a shy and reclusive youth.

Due to the strict teachings, his father Vlad Tepes the 2nd had instilled in him he was a nervous and shy person. After the war started in the kingdom his father who was one of the most prominent generals in the army lead the kingdom's army to war, while Vlad stayed at home.

A secret nobody knew about was that the Tepes bloodline had a strange power they could age extremely slowly and had superhuman abilities, but they came at a price they required more vitality than normal human beings and thus had to drink animal blood constantly in order not to lose control of themselves.

Vlad was always hidden in the castle and thus had never interacted with any other human except for his butler. So he would occasionally sneak out of the castle in a disguise and interact with the town. During one of his first outings, he met a kind young woman who helped him out.

As they grew up he slowly fell in love with her and she did as well. He had never told her his identity and she never asked. He ended up proposing to her in a field full of white flowers, she agreed, and they married. He told her his identity and the years past peacefully and he ended taking over the territory.

He had wanted to turn her into a vampire like him by giving her his own blood, but she never agreed to it with her reasoning being that she wanted to live like a full human before reaching old age and then agreeing to be turned. Vlad agreed to her request and let her do what she wanted.

While he was busy with the territory she had gone and built a school on the outskirts of the city that would be known as Arad- her hometown. When her death approached she agreed to the transformation. However, when Vlad injected the venom into her body nothing had happened.

They both panicked at the beginning and at the end Vlad discovered that she had gained an immunity to the vampire transformation after living with him for so long. Vlad couldn't change the destined outcome and she ended up passing away due to old age.

He ended up caring for the school that his wife had cherished and renamed it White Rose Academy due to the fact that when he proposed it was in a field filled with white roses." The librarian finished with a sigh.

"How sad" Kai said but inwardly thought this doesn't help my condition. After learning of the two legends Kai became disheartened but still headed to the aisle that the librarian had told him.
