After finding the correct section, Kai had browsed through the many books there but unfortunately exactly like the librarian had told him earlier. There were only fancy stories not even remotely close to the truth much less to the first vampire.
He was feeling disappointed and incredibly annoyed at the fact that he couldn't find any useful information. But Kai was sure that the true records were hidden somewhere in the academy at least if the legends had some truth to them then that was the only thing they both had in common.
Kai decided to search the academy's secret underground chambers the next day in the morning while most of the student and staff were on duty. He had to stay cautious because as seen from the tattered page used by Devon earlier, there were certain spells that could penetrate his defences, albeit not his physical defences but instead his non-existent magical ones.
Kai had been extremely sure of his physical defence and his agility and as a result, forgotten to create a spell that protected him against magic. Luckily his wings were there to defend him somewhat against the magical attacks.
The next day Kai was standing in his standard clothes (the clothes he had ordered from Dracul when he first came to Diagon Alley) and got ready for his minor operation. During the night he had considered asking Annabelle for permission to enter but he didn't quite trust her as well as the rest of the staff.
However, unbeknownst to Kai, Sam was hatching his own plan and was currently waiting for the Director to let him into his office.
Kai then cast on himself an illusion spell that would cause everybody to ignore his presence unless they consciously tried to find him. The reason that he didn't cast a higher level spell was that he was being cautious and he didn't want to spend any of his blood energy on spells that required lots of energy.
The entrance was in the administrative building or more specifically the packed storage room on the second floor that was shown to Kai by Malcolm. Kai had sensed it earlier but wasn't sure what it was for so he hadn't bothered with it, merely making a note of it and carrying on with the tour.
He was now glad that he had noticed it, he would have to be careful while infiltrating the building as Malcolm was near equal to Bob. He wasn't quite sure because he hadn't shown his ace and neither had Bob but they each had equally powerful auras.
Kai arrived at the entrance of the administrative building and carefully sensed where each of the members of the staff were, using his mind's eye.
He saw that most of the staff were in their offices except for Sam who was sitting in Annabelle's office waiting for the director. Kai wasn't aware of what he was doing or going to say to the director but he didn't care because he was diverting Malcolm's attention.
Kai entered the storage room and arrived at one of the stacks of boxes. He used a minor amount of blood energy to move them away and saw a camouflaged man-sized trap door.
He opened it and jumped in instead of using the wooden ladder and stopped himself from descending too fast by pushing his hands against the sides of the narrow hole and made no sound when he landed.
But in order to move deeper down the underground, he would have to crack the shamanistic sorcery that was blocking his descent to the deeper levels or at least avoid being found out by the shaman I.e. Annabelle.
The spell would cause him to be restricted and if he showed any attempts of trying to escape then it would attempt to obliterate him to ashes(it wouldn't actually be able to). He had learnt this from the way that the carved symbols were placed as well as from opening his runic eyes.
The only way to enter the chambers that were guarded by the spell was to have a certain "password" or magic signature and with the help of his runic eyes, Kai could easily identify the required on and then forge it.
After examining the spell for a fraction of a second, he started to cast a temporary "passcode." After the shamanistic spell confirmed his entrance Kai moved through the door and entered the main chamber.
It was a bare space with nothing inside or leading to another level of the underground, at least that would be how it would seem to the untrained eye, Kai thought that it was probably a diversion. But in his case, he had his runic eyes activated in case of other spells and was easily able to find a section in the floor where there was a large magic energy signature I.e. the passage to the lower level.
He used the original "passcode" and easily entered the second layer. This time it wasn't an empty cavern instead there was a labyrinth system that had caused him to even more feel curious at what was being hidden underneath the academy.
When he tried to find the correct route to the exit of the maze he only found a large mass of ME. This signified that there were many life-threatening traps hidden in the maze, of course to Kai these traps were of no danger but he didn't want to alert anyone.
He instead searched using his [Mind's eye] for the non-dangerous route and this time he easily found a way. The maze was designed to confuse, trap and kill the invaders, but for Kai, it was easy to breeze through the many traps and spells.
In the original design for [Mind's eye], he had gotten inspiration from the divine sense that the cultivators had achieved when they unlocked their spirit sea. An OP ability that allowed them to detect all things that were in the range of their divine sense.
Kai's wasn't as powerful but it still was enough for him who was sorting out the chinks in his design of the ability. After moving past the labyrinth, he finally made it out of all the traps and spells and made it into a residential area.
Although it was only a small amount of rooms and there were only 5, but each one was shown to be frequently used and occupied. Kai passed the first 4 rooms but when he came to the last one he heard faint heartbeats from behind the door.
He activated his mind's eye and saw Penelope who was lying on her bed behind the door. She was holding an old photo of a young girl holding a man's hand with a joyous expression on her face.
When he examined Penelope's face he saw that her own face was showing tenderness and love. After examining her he looked at the photo and saw that the man had his back towards the camera while the girl was looking at the man so that you could only see the side of her face. But Kai understood that the girl was Penelope and the man was the previous headmaster.
While looking at his figure it occurred to Kai that the man's figure was one that he had seen before. He tried to remember but to no avail so he shrugged it off his mind for now and continued on with his exploration.
After moving past her room he walked to the end of the corridor and was met with a door. He stopped and examined the door to see if there were any spells he had to unlock, but there weren't any.
After opening the door he was met with an old staircase after walking down it what he saw wasn't some top secret base. Instead, he saw a timeworn wooden living room that had shown signs of daily cleaning from the lack of dirt and dust.
In the middle of the room, there was a simple oak table with 5 old chairs and wooden cutlery. In front of each space, there was a clay bowl that was clearly made from an amateur's hands.
There were two extremely old couches with pillows that were clearly replaced, he assumed that the original had rotted already. After moving past the living room he was met with a door.
He pushed the door open and saw a rather large bed with a mattress filled with straw. He saw that it was also spotless and had the scent of a woman or in this case, women were the correct word in this case as he had smelled two women's scents.
He was familiar with these women, they were Annabelle and Penelope. To be precise their scents were all over the rooms a clear sign that they were the ones that had cleaned them.
After seeing the rooms, he was reminded of the story of the farm boy and was wondering if it was true. But after carefully searching the rooms and finding no clues to his "problem" he decided to leave.
