Chapter 65 Dracula and the Hyenas

Royal Law University, Faculty of Theology and Law, First Teaching Building of the Theological Seminary.

Sitting in the packed lecture hall, Aiden stared blankly at the old professor who was leisurely rambling on about the history of the Star Antimony Kingdom. He couldn't help but yawn. He was sitting in the seventh row on the left side of the classroom. There were already seven or eight people sleeping on the desks in front of him.

...Seriously, why do these trainee pastors who are going to join the church after graduation also have to study history?

The young man with brown curly hair and freckles held his chin, squinted his sleepy eyes, and complained in his heart.

It’s not that he hates history...it’s just that Professor Budd’s lectures are so boring.

Besides, I don't need to go abroad and never see a Starling in my life. Who cares what the Starling Kingdom was called before...

Not only that, but one also had to learn the inverted, grammatically complex Alien language, which was so frustrating just to listen to—could any Alien people really come to the church in Avalon to pray? Even if they did, they should go to the Church.

If a Starling were to come to Avalon, there would likely be inspectors following them the entire time. He wouldn't even need to speak the Avalonian language... A single shout in Starling would instantly send someone rushing over to question him. Those inspectors, wearing black hats resembling helmets, reacted faster than a waiter in a restaurant.

Aiden looked at the podium and began to miss the lady he met at the White Shoes Club last night.

Putting aside her graceful figure, elegant dance steps, and knowledge of literature and art...just the new book by Mr. Bram Stoker that she recommended to me and lent me was quite interesting.

——"Dracula".

A book containing secrets about the death of the Grand Duke of the now extinct Principality of Narcissus, in the form of letters, diaries, telegrams, newspapers, etc.

Last night, Aiden had only intended to read the beginning and the end—so he could have something to talk about tonight with the mysterious lady in the white dress, whose name he hadn't yet exchanged. But after just the beginning, he couldn't help but read the whole thing. As a result, he woke up feeling rather sleepy today.

——Compared to what Professor Bud is saying about the history of the Xingtan Kingdom, he is more concerned about whether there are any terrifying vampire evil spirits in Xingtan now.

Because the writing is so realistic. It doesn't seem fake.

People say Bram Stoker was a dream-monk, drawing hidden "alternative histories" from the dream world. This seems plausible.

And if everything written in the book is true... then the Xingti Kingdom attacked the Narcissus Principality a few years ago in order to purify Narcissus Principality who had been transformed into a vampire.

But the ending of the book, "Narcissus was beheaded by an unknown knight from Avalon with a holy sword", is too sloppy... This may be artistic processing, or it may be the "alternative possibility of history" that Mr. Stoker saw in his dream.

In real history, if there hadn't been an unknown knight who could wield the holy sword used by Lancelot I, how could the immortal Narcissus have been killed by Xingti and his men?

But this kind of thing is not taught in history classes at all.

Because they may not have become history yet, they may still be secrets.

Maybe those Star Antimony people didn't kill him at all, but were assimilated by him! He may even have corrupted more high-ranking officials and secretly transformed them into vampires!

In that case, the Narcissus Guild might be reborn from the Star Antimony...

Aiden looked intently at the professor at the podium, but his thoughts had already flown away.

At this moment, he suddenly heard an increasingly loud noise coming from the side near the gate.

The noise interrupted Aiden's imagination.

He looked over curiously and found that someone was passing by the window.

He immediately recognized the man's identity—

Aiden's eyes lit up and he sat up straight in an instant.

——It’s Senior Haina!

Hayina Dane is undoubtedly a shining star at the Royal Law University.

Not only was she generous and kind, academically excellent, and beautiful, but she was also always sincere and rarely angry. If other students had a conflict or argument, she would immediately step in to mediate; if someone was hurt or treated unfairly, she would stand up to protect them and uphold justice.

Senior Haena held a high reputation not only among the girls but also among the boys. She had a stunning figure and thick, long hair—although it was usually tied in a ponytail, it occasionally let it down. Unlike the soft-spoken, often exclaiming or even falling-out "royal city girls," Haena didn't understand this "feminine fashion."

Not only did she not distance herself from the boys, she even often mingled with them to chat and drink.

She also loves playing ball, and most importantly, she's a very good ballplayer.

Of the six faculties at the Royal Law University, five have their own rugby teams, and the team from the "Individual Tactics Faculty" even has the opportunity to compete with professional teams.

Although the rugby team is not technically restricted to boys, few girls are willing to play due to the high intensity of physical collisions and contact. And there are not enough female fans to form a team.

Haina was the only woman on the individual tactics department's rugby team, but she wasn't a burden; rather, she was a strong support. She was an excellent wing forward, even praised by the team's instructor as "Haiina is your core." She also led their team to many crucial victories.

Regardless of the sport, boys have a very clear attitude: those who can lead their favorite team to victory and perform exceptionally well are all idols.

And if this "idol" is also a beautiful and generous girl with big breasts, the reputation she can gain is quite terrifying.

Haina was the undisputed "big sister" figure, a star. Even though she was only the head girl of the '95 class, technically responsible for the affairs of the current fourth-year girls, younger students from other grades would always turn to her for help if they had any problems.

However, Haena also attracted criticism because she often hung out with boys. Some students, jealous of her looks and prestige, would criticize her as a country girl who didn't understand fashion and art... But Aiden didn't think such remarks were offensive at all.

The most offensive nickname for Senior Haina is "Hyena".

The word is homophonic with her name, making it quite cryptic.

The reason why Haena is called a hyena is because hyenas have two characteristics: one is that they are carrion eaters and often gather in smelly and dirty places, which makes them considered unclean and dirty; the other is that female hyenas have male-like genitals. This is a satire on Haena's rough and brutal behavior like a man, which attracts the admiration and love of many little girls.

There are even rumors that Haina doesn't like boys and only targets girls - that's why she is so friendly and gentle to her schoolmates.

Such rumors cannot be refuted.

Although Haina is so outstanding and very popular among boys, she has never found a boyfriend.

Arun, the third son of the Attorney General and a year younger than Hana, once pursued Hana, but he was unsuccessful.

Hae-na was from the countryside. A minister's son, handsome and artistically inclined, was undoubtedly a perfect match. Yet, Hae-na refused to even offer him a chance... Even more mysterious, her rejection didn't infuriate him, turning his love into hatred. Instead, he became Hae-na's loyal follower.

But now, Aiden realized.

This rumor may end today...

——Maybe it’s simply because Allen is not handsome enough.

Because following behind Haena was a young man in a wheelchair being pushed by a gentle-looking maid.

He had smooth platinum hair and deep, three-dimensional features. Just his gentle gaze at Haena in front of him gave off a sense of deep, focused affection. His deep blue eyes seemed perpetually filled with a smile.

Haina, walking ahead with confidence, was no longer as carefree as before. Instead, she looked back every three steps, keeping a close eye on the boy behind her, as if afraid of losing him.

When their eyes occasionally meet, they will smile knowingly at the same time.

No matter how you look at it, it feels like Haina attaches great importance to him.

“——Aiwass?!”

Aiden subconsciously said the other person's name.
