Reincarnated without a job, the vampire lady must show her true abilities.

Chapter 73: A Hat

Good evening, teacher.

Seeing the teacher leaning against the table playing chess, Luo Qixi pursed her lips slightly and then greeted him.

It had been a while since we returned from the land of conflict. As soon as we got back to Lanoa, the teacher handed the materials over to Mr. Chaos.

Mr. Chaos was overjoyed... He rushed to the basement almost as soon as he got the materials, and then locked Loki and Cinderella out of the room.

In the end, Loki and Cinderella exchanged a glance and returned to school.

Almost a week has passed since then... but it seems there's still no news.

It's also possible that the research has actually made progress... but the teacher is just deliberately not telling me.

Probably not...

"You're here..." Cidelina looked at her student, who seemed to be lost in thought again, and coughed before saying, "I need to talk to you about something important today."

As she spoke, Catherine casually placed the chess pieces on the table aside.

It seems really important... Luo Qixi pursed her lips and sat up straight.

"That's right," Sidlin paused before saying, "I observed your battle with the Hydra."

"You finally killed it with blood magic, right?"

"Ah...yes, teacher." Luo Qixi was clearly taken aback when the teacher suddenly brought up the matter. After all, almost a week had passed, and Luo Qixi thought the matter was over.

"Well done." Cinderella smiled slightly.

The teacher actually praised me?!

Luo Qixi was also a little surprised. She pursed her lips slightly and then put on a humble expression: "It's...it's alright."

"Your control over blood magic has improved, so your taste has changed... you could say you've become more delicious." Cinderella's words caused Loki's expression to pause slightly.

"So you did a great job." Cidelyn nodded earnestly. "It took me a week of tasting to notice these changes."

"..."

Teacher, do you mean that my taste has become more delicious... is that something important that you mentioned?

Seeing Loki's slightly dissatisfied expression, Cinderella raised an eyebrow and reminded her, "Don't underestimate your own taste."

"Your taste has become more delicious... which means your control over blood magic has improved." Cinderella raised an eyebrow as she spoke. "You can now control your own blood within other people's bodies."

"Isn't this a remarkable step forward?"

"It seems...it seems so." Luo Qixi paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. She hadn't tried it before...she thought it was a simple thing...but now it seems a bit difficult.

Then… Luo Qixi suddenly looked at Xidelin as if she had thought of something.

"Don't even think about it." Cinderella understood what she meant, and she pouted, saying, "You don't actually expect to control the blood that goes into my mouth, do you?"

"Unless your blood magic talent far surpasses mine... that's impossible." Sidrin paused, then continued, "Besides, I am the progenitor of the vampires."

"Okay... alright, teacher." I never expected the teacher would actually see through my thoughts...

"Your practice should now focus on refinement... Only by achieving more precise control over blood magic can you become a Saint-level blood mage."

"Huh?" Luo Qixi was taken aback. "I'm... already..."

"Hmm." Cinderella nodded: "Being able to manipulate blood that enters another person's body... you're already a high-level blood mage."

"However, precise control of blood is a very difficult thing," Catherine said with a slight smile. "You might never be able to do it, even until you die."

Don't say such cold things all of a sudden...

"Also... I remember I mentioned something about the reward, right?" Cinderella raised an eyebrow as if she had remembered something.

"Hmm?" Luo Qixi blinked, then remembered that this was the reward the teacher had mentioned after defeating the Nine-Headed Dragon.

She had completely forgotten about it... but she never expected that the teacher would still remember.

So is there really any reward?

To be honest... Luo Qixi felt that the teacher would at most give her some gold coins, right?

As for other things... I don't think the teacher is the type to prepare properly.

Sidley shrugged, sensing what Loki was thinking, and said coolly, "Did you think I'd be perfunctory?"

"No...no!" Luo Qixi quickly shook her head: "Absolutely not."

"Heh." Cinderella sneered. Of course she understood what Loki was thinking. She probably thought that someone as lazy as me would just give a perfunctory answer, right?

But this time it really wasn't... With a flick of her wrist, a box was pulled over by a few drops of blood as if by a rope, and then slowly floated in the air.

"You have to reach this level to be considered a Saint-level Blood Mage," Sidrin reminded, flicking her index finger as the box slowly opened.

Loki's attention was no longer on Catherine's words; she immediately moved closer to the box.

"Huh?!" Inside the box was a hat.

A delicate black magic hat with red trim, surrounded by what looked like some kind of magic circle pattern, leaving magenta patterns, emitted a faint luster as the box shook slightly.

Moreover, several crystals hung from the brim of the hat, swaying red crystals held together by translucent crystal threads.

The ruby-like crystal also has black engravings, resembling the small wings of a bat...

and many more……

Luo Qixi suddenly looked at the lining of the box as if she had realized something.

"The Kingdom of Lanoa - a gift from Edward Lanoa to his friend Sidrin Sylvania."

"..."

Teacher...is this a gift from someone else?

You actually...

"Ahem." As if she had realized something, Cinderella quickly reached out to cover the thing embroidered on the box.

"This is a magic hat I specially obtained." She turned her head slightly as she spoke. "This hat can withstand magic below the Saint-level... and it can even clean itself... Oh, right..."

"It uses the tendons and skin of a red dragon... and it can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer," Sidrin said incessantly, as if introducing a product.

Teacher... you're just giving me the things the king gave you like this, won't he be angry?

Luo Qixi pursed her lips and carefully picked up the hat.

Although she had a hat before, it had nothing to do with magic; it was just a simple hat in the shape of a magician... But the hat her teacher gave her was different.

There were many powerful-looking spells and such... Loki looked at the magic hat again and again, and finally pursed her lips and carefully put it on her head.

After glancing at herself in the mirror, Luo Qixi muttered subconsciously, "Does it look good, teacher?"

"Um..." As soon as she asked the question, she seemed to snap out of her daze and quickly shook her head: "Teacher, that's not what I meant..."

"It looks great." Cidelyn nodded earnestly. "It suits you very well."

"Hmm?" Looking at the blushing student, Cinderella wondered what was wrong with her this time.
