My Triling System

39 Chapter 39: Mortal Enemies: Vampires And Aliens

The next day arrived and classes will be starting on this day. An alarm had sounded at 7 am jolting all students awake. Well, not all of them were able to wake up at that time but they’ll soon get adapted to it once they realize how long it will take before they could get their morning breakfast if they didn’t wake up early.

Those that are awake, they prepared for the day and each dressed for the day’s class. Thankfully, Kevin got a spare uniform shirt he could wear. Once he sells his mother’s pendant-which is not his mum’s.., he’ll be able to buy a new uniform. The one that he had was given freely to him by the academy. There’s no harm in buying uniforms yourself, the academy is just being generous.

Of all the students in Kevin’s dorm room, Lexa was the first to head out of the room. She had dressed up and had headed towards the canteen. She had exited the room even before any of the boys could wake up. She intentionally avoided them because of Kevin. She was afraid of looking at his face. She didn’t know why but she felt so awkward talking to Kevin because of what she did yesterday. She was still thinking maybe Kevin saw her back in the bush and was angry at her. She wasn’t sure until she saw him come late to the room last night. Although Kevin didn’t know she was awake and was waiting for him to arrive last night. She also pretended to be sleeping when Kevin entered the room, she couldn’t bring herself to ask why he was late ’cause she was scared of his answers.

Because of the fear of being challenged by Kevin, she had to sneak out of the room before the alarm rang in the morning and she was now on her way to the canteen. There are other students on their way to the canteen, so she didn’t feel lonely as she walked towards the canteen. But someone had stopped her suddenly in her tracks. Someone is an understatement but it was rather a group of students,... male students!

In Kevin’s dorm room, Dan and his brothers had also dressed up for the day. Unknown to Lexa, Dan managed to see her leave early in the morning before anyone of them could wake up but he was wondering why she was acting strangely all of a sudden.

‘ Is it because of me? or is it because of this brat named Kevin?’ Dan had a grin on his face as he glanced at Kevin hatefully.

“Hey, buddy, where did you go yesterday? We saw you disappear all of a sudden and you came late to the room last night, is everything okay?” Zoe asked as he wrapped his arms around Kevin’s shoulder.

“Yeah, I’m okay. I — I was just taking care of some personal things yesterday. It’s nothing to be worried about.” Kevin replied as he flashed a smile at the boy.

Something has been troubling his mind since yesterday. It was a message the system sent to him after obtaining the first Triling ring. The system told him to do something which he felt like it’s so important. He brought up the notification tab and the message was revealed to him once again.

.....

‘ A1, can you please explain this message to me, I don’t quite understand. Especially the last Triling and the mortal enemy part.’ Kevin requested.

“This is like cheating in an Exam, but luckily I’m allowed to tell you about it, your next task is to find the remaining rings.” The A1 replied.

“The last Triling that ever existed died five hundred years ago or more than that. He attended this same mage academy that you attended. But he was soft-hearted and was often bullied. What was more devastating was that those he called his friends were the ones bullying him. He failed to seek their loyalty and became friends with those who hated him. His friends gathered around and killed him. His body turned into Ash and the rings he gathered for so many years became his friends’ ornaments. They had thought the rings would give them the Triling power but unfortunately, they are not the Triling, they only got an extra boost in their strength and speed and that’s all.”

“Talking about the mortal enemies, they are the Vampires. A great war occurred between the vampires and the humans and magical creatures. Back at that time, humans and magical creatures were United, so they fought the vampires and won together. Although magical creatures are in a peaceful time with them presently, the nonmagical creatures, (humans), are the ones in trouble at the moment. The vampires have sided with the Aliens to eliminate the Human Race. They are still coming for us soon, so you need to be stronger and stop the war from occurring once again.”

‘ Lots of things are happening that I don’t know.’ Kevin said but he was immediately interrupted by Dan.

“That personal thing. does it have something to do with Lexa?” Dan asked, not breaking eye contact with Kevin so he would know if he was lying or not.

Kevin blinked twice which Dan concluded to be a sign of when someone is about to lie.

Kevin sighed before answering, he had forgotten himself in the little time he spoke with the System.

“No, why would it be? By the way, where’s Lexa... I haven’t seen her this morning.”

“She’s on her way to the canteen, why?... are you following her ..... again?”

Before Dan could utter his statement, Kevin had dashed out of the room, heading for the Canteen.
