At the sound of my words, Kael seemed to realize that he was indeed being a bit too hasty with his invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calmed himself down and nodded his head in agreement, but after a short silence—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, I will go ahead and talk to the rest of the group to convince them... in the meantime, please do take some time to think seriously about my offer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said that to me with a wide smile fixed on his face. And before I could even manage to say anything back to him, he stood up and walked back over to their area... leaving me sitting there all alone again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t say anything out loud, as I was currently stuck deep in my own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I decide to accept Kael’s offer, then that would mean I would be travelling constantly with the saintess and the other paladins. It will be incredibly hard for me to find a chance to use my vampire abilities or drink blood.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in exchange for that risk—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I will be able to get even more teaching about the art of swordsmanship from an expert.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, I was just trying to figure out which of those paths would actually make me much stronger in the long run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, whatever... it is not even a sure thing that he will actually get the approval of the others to let a stranger like me join them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grumbled that to myself and just tried to put the whole matter out of my mind for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>... ... ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not even five minutes after our initial talk had ended—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The saintess herself said that you are more than welcome to join us on our journey!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael came rushing back and told me the news with a bright, triumphant smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really seems like she has taken a personal interest in you, because I was almost certain she would try to decline my request when I asked her. I was already prepared to try and convince her with a long speech— but to my surprise, it was not needed at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added that while reaching out and patting me firmly on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t do anything in response but just put a fake, polite smile on my face as I looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what do you think about it now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael asked me that, staring at me intently as if he were trying to read my mind. It really looks like he is not going to leave my side until I give him a straight answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, I guess I will be in your care from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened my mouth and told him my decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does that mean you are actually joining us...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked as his eyes slightly expanded with excitement. I just nodded my head once as a silent confirmation of his question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be looking forward to travelling with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael said, and he looks genuinely happy about it. I don’t really know why he is so invested, though, since we barely know each other and we only just met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he is just one of those social butterflies who loves meeting new people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am looking forward to it as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I replied to him, while making sure to keep my true thoughts hidden to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation is not actually that bad, to be perfectly honest— I just need to be very discrete when I am consuming blood and using my other skills for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But overlooking those complications, I will have someone who can properly guide me in the ways of swordsmanship, my personal safety is basically secured with them around... and I definitely would not get lost while looking for the city of Zore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if the situation has already turned out like this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Then I might as well just take full advantage of this opportunity while I have it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael finally left me alone after I confirmed that I would be joining their party, saying that it was finally time for him to get some rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw him enter his own tent, then following right after him; two of the other knights went into their own tents as well to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving only two behind to stand guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked over at the two of them, and they both glanced back at me with complicated looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They whispered something quietly to each other... but they soon turned their heads away so they could focus on keeping guard again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I guess it’s only normal for them to be a bit wary... It’s actually Kael who is the weird one for being so friendly to a total stranger in the woods.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, I ignored the two of them and went back to minding my own business. Just like they feel they cannot trust me, I cannot fully trust them either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So my original plan of staying up all through the night remained exactly the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve already rested more than enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mumbled that as I stood up from my spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWIP-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I unsheathed my sword once again, and remembering the specific words Kael told me while he was teaching me earlier— SLASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started my training session again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I repeatedly swung my sword through the air, entering a deep trance state not long after I began. I was stuck in my own thoughts again, with my focus completely centered on the flow of my movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slashed again and again... time passed by, but I paid no attention to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, by the time I finally snapped out of my stupor— the sun was already starting to rise over the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuhhh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a long sigh as I sheathed my sword and stopped my training, a few beads of sweat had formed on my back and my forehead; but I feel completely fine physically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced over at Bong to check on how he was doing, and I can see that he is already awake and busily eating some wild grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, you really are something else, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, I heard a voice speaking from behind me. I turned around and saw Kael standing there. I just looked at him with a confused expression after hearing his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Including myself, us five knights shifted positions throughout the night to stand guard... and every single one of us saw the same thing: you, swinging your sword without stopping.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mumbled that with a look of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I honestly do not know if you are just an incredible hardworker or a complete lunatic, but I do not know anyone else who would spend an entire night training like that. Are you even doing okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he followed up with that question, looking at me with a great deal of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, I just find that I cannot fall asleep sometimes, so I poured all of my extra time into training. And yes, I feel perfectly fine... just slightly tired, I suppose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I replied to him with a calm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fact that you are only slightly tired after that is impressive; you must have some truly monstrous stamina and endurance, haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael declared that with a laugh. I just laughed along with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, we managed to catch some wild deer earlier and we are currently roasting them up. Come join us for the meal; consider it as payback for the meat you gave us last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he gave me a warm invitation for breakfast. I was not really feeling that hungry—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I will join you shortly after I clean myself up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But free food is still free food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great, I will be waiting for you over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael said that before leaving me to get ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I headed inside my tent right after that, where I dried myself off with a towel, and after that was done... I made sure to dress up properly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wore practical travel clothes— a loose tunic secured by a leather belt, with a strap crossing over my chest to keep everything in place. A muted cloak rested on my shoulders, and dark trousers tucked into sturdy boots completed the outfit, simple and suited for long journeys and sudden fights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once I was all presentable... I went and joined the others for breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>",1459,"2026-06-06T12:25:12.049Z",1,"novelbin.me","348bfaaee95f68bdf0d2019f8a3414841cf14e059fafe696fc49fef565e2fb96","reincarnated-as-a-vampire-who-acquires-skills-th-chapter-33","reincarnated-as-a-vampire-who-acquires-skills-th-chapter-31",158,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-a-vampire-who-acquires-skills-th-cover.jpg"]
