While violent upheaval erupted in the city-wall district,
the "Second Squad" was heading to the Arfros Tistic Academy with Lorien's assistance,
Although the moon had been dyed red, 30% of it remained unaffected. Lorien could likewise use that moonlight to disguise and enhance himself and the three humans.
He transformed into Viscount Dimitri,
while Deslin, the Prophet Marco, and Regan disguised themselves as servants,
using the bloodfolk memories in the Viscount's brain to find a legitimate reason to go to the academy.
The train platform that had once been the academy's only connection to the outside world had been corrupted, becoming a living platform built from flesh and constantly oozing blood.
However, the nature of the Arfros Tistic Academy had not changed much. It was still engaged in teaching activities. Ordinary humans or gentlemanly individuals who had defected to the bloodfolk were sent here for "blood studies" after undergoing their initial Blood Modification.
The bloodfolk had even arranged for quite a few elderly ordinary nobles who were skilled at imparting knowledge to teach classes, before carrying out further Blood Modification on humans with potential and room for development.
Of course,
the academy's most important task at present was the blood transformation of a special human.
Even Viscount Dimitri's memories did not contain the identity of this so-called "special human." He only knew that the work had continued ever since the occupation of the human cities, and that the choice of the academy district seemed to be related to the special human's habits.
To transform this human, large amounts of fresh, high-quality blood were transported from the central estate to the academy every day.
Inside the platform.
The moment Lorien stepped onto the leather platform that constantly oozed blood, he was stopped by a tall, high-ranking bloodfolk dragging a wormlike tail.
