Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 180

One fine morning, Ivory was looking inside her wardrobe for clothes to wear. She, together with her Servants, planned to visit the Qawiun Academy Library to do some research about Advanced magic techniques.

While Sigmund was still helping her father with some errands in the woods, Lycus knocked at the door before entering her room.

As soon as Ivory took a glimpse of his long silver hair from her peripheral view, she asked, “What are you going to wear, Lycus?”

“Master, I apologize,” Lycus bowed his head, “But your mother asked me to help her harvest blueberries.”

“You mean… it’s just going to be me and Sigmund?” her cheeks then turned beet red.

“Yes,” the silver haired Werewolf Servant gave her a warm smile. “Please enjoy your day and take care. Your mother is already waiting outside, so I have to go now.”

Lycus bowed his head before leaving her room, and she waited for a few more seconds before jumping on her bed and burying her face onto the pillow. She squealed since she couldn’t contain her excitement of spending a day together with her beloved Servant. She didn’t wait any further and wore the prettiest outfit she had in her closet.

She wore a cream long sleeve ruffled blouse under an emerald green cotton jumper knee length dress. She combed her hair and excitedly went outside her room. She hurried downstairs, and the first one she saw was Sigmund, who just came back from helping her father. A bright smile flashed on her face when their gazes met.

“Father! We still have to do a lot of things, so we’ll be off now!” she quickly bid goodbye to her siblings before pulling Sigmund’s arm towards the front door.

“Why are you in a rush? Where is Lycus?” he titled his head as he followed her lead. Sigmund was dressed in a ruffled white long sleeve top and black fitted pants. His chest was a bit seen because of the low neckline of the top.

“Lycus is with mother, so it will just be the two of us,” she said, smiling.

The Vampire had a grin on his face after hearing that he would have an alone time with his beloved Master. He took the lead this time and assisted Ivory as she went inside the carriage. They sat close to each other with his arm around her shoulders while she leaned her head on his broad shoulder. Ivory certainly missed this feeling, and so did he.

When they arrived at Qawiun Academy Library, Sigmund ordered the coachman to not wait for them and enjoy his free time instead. The coachman got confused at first, but he then followed his order and left the two.

The academy’s library had three floors and walls painted in deep sky blue. Right above the centermost area, a three-tiered metal chandelier with carvings of a winged creature hung.

After greeting the librarian and asking where the scrolls about Advanced magic were placed, Ivory and Sigmund went to the third floor and searched the shelves. They took the scrolls they needed and stayed on the table near the glass window. Ivory was seated near the window while Sigmund sat close next to her.

“Should we start with Advanced Conversion Magic?” she glanced at him as she took the scroll with a wooden tag. Carved on it was ‘Conversion Magic Theories’.

Sigmund nodded, “Yeah, this is one of the most important Advanced magic techniques. If you learned everything in that scroll, you’ll be able to adjust while using your mana in any kind of environment.”

When he was about to take the scroll from her, their fingers accidentally touched, which made Ivory turn beet red. She pulled her hand away, but he was quick to grab her hand.

“Why are you blushing?” he teased her.

“I’m not blushing!” she almost shouted, which made some of the students, who were silently reading, stare at them.

The Vampire pressed his index finger on her lips, “Shh, we do not want the librarian to get mad at us, especially that there are other students who are studying here, not just you, Ivory.”

She removed his hand, “It is your fault,” and she whispered, pouting.

“And why is it my fault?” he cocked his brow.

“Because you are teasing me,” she removed the string of the scroll.

“Excuses, Ivory,” he jokingly shook his head and patted her head. “Alright, you need to read now. We have two more types of advanced magic to study.”

The Master and Servant started reading about Conversion Magic at noon. They had a quick lunch at the academy eatery and went back to the library to continue reading the next types of advanced magic. They first studied Barrier Magic, wherein the Master could choose an element and make it as a shield. The last one was Combination Magic, wherein the Master could use two or more elements in a single attack.

Sigmund took the quill and ink set in the middle of the table, which were free to be used by anyone. After unrolling a blank scroll, he started to draw.

“What are you doing?” Ivory asked as she observed his hands move.

“Let’s imagine how we can use all those theories in the Servant Competition,” the Vampire then continued his sketch. Under it were some descriptions and the elements and theories they would be using in their battles.

“They announced the four terrains and described them, so I think we should think about developing Advanced techniques for each.”

Sigmund nodded at her. “And we must create extra techniques in case of emergency,” he unrolled more parts of the blank scroll, “We must remember that in every magic technique we will develop, we should put first how to efficiently use our mana. Although I think, we can use a lot of mana as long as the opponents are surely, directly thrown into the eliminating grounds.”

“But, they did not tell us what the eliminating grounds are,” she pursed her lips while looking at his sketches.

“Whatever they are, I am sure it will be hard to push the opponents there. We should be cautious, and save mana in the first half of the battle. That way, we can use Air magic in the form of wind to lift ourselves up in case they try to take us down.”

Ivory nodded, and gazed into his crimson red irises. For her, Sigmund was extra handsome when he’s tutoring her. “You are really brilliant, Sigmund. I wish I was as intelligent as you are.”

“Hah, no need for compliments. Concentrate, Ivory. Don’t stare at my handsome face too much,” he pinched her cheek.

“Oww… Meanie…” she blushed and rubbed the cheek he pinched, before concentrating again on thinking about their strategies.

After all the discussions, Ivory and Sigmund left the library late in the afternoon, and the two decided to walk back home to admire the beautiful peach sunset, and they also missed walking back to Greensteid. Everything was going well, but as they were approaching Betania City, the peach sky had turned gray.

“I think it’s going to rain, Sigmund,” she worriedly looked at him.

But he shook his head. Of course, the fact that the sky was turning gray made him annoyed since he still wanted to spend more time with his beloved Master, so he just said, “Don’t think about it, and it won’t happen.”

When they were about to walk, an expected heavy downpour happened! Sigmund instantly held Ivory’s hand and dashed to the nearest awning shed of a pub.

Ivory tugged the sleeve of his top, “Let me use magic so that we can go home quickly.

“Why tho? Don’t you want to spend more time with me?” Sigmund asked, staring at her.

She shook her head sideways, “I really want to spend more time with you, Sigmund, but it’s raining so hard,” she sighed. She peeked at the sky and noticed that the gray cloud became even darker, “Seems like it won’t end soon. What are we going to do now?” Ivory looked worriedly at her beloved.

He panned his sight to the familiar tavern in front of them. With a smirk, he then said, “Do not worry… I know a place.”
