Vampire's Slice Of Life

Council of the Neutral Continent, Espat.

On a big floor that had many people working while sitting in their respective office cubicles, Eric walked along the hallway bypassing many of such workers and reached at the end of the hallway where he saw a man sitting behind a desk in a big room, working on a laptop, through the glass panels that lay in front of him.

Eric pushed open the glass door and walked into the office room without knocking. The man working on a laptop had noticed Eric coming towards him but after noticing his rude intrusion, he frowned and said

"Do not enter without knocking next time. I won't be polite with you, even if you're an Emperor rank."

Eric stopped in his tracks and looked at the man. He had a thought and then said to the man with a smile

"My apologies, it won't happen again."

Eric apologized due to realising his blunder. He was too happy knowing that Arya would suffer and forgot that he was currently barging into the office of a council member.

Council members were high ranking officials and there were only 50 of them. They were all Emperor ranks and all the other officials lay beneath them. They were the main pillars who managed the whole Neutral Continent.

The man nodded his head after getting an apology and his frown was gone. He gestured for Eric to sit and asked

"So, Vice Principal Eric, what brings you here today?"

"It's nothing really. Just need to have someone fired." Eric smiled and said.

"You can do that on your own. Why bother to come here?" The man said with his brows furrowed.

Wasn't Eric a Vice Principal who could fire anyone he wished? Why bother to waste the council member's time? The man thought and asked.

"The person I want to fire is an Emperor rank. According to the rules, I cannot do it myself and have to send a letter to the management stating about the issues regarding the same and why the person needs to be fired." Eric said calmly.

"That's correct. So the Emperor rank that you want to get fired, don't tell me it's the Principal? If it is, then sorry to break it to you, that won't be happening." The man said in a neutral voice, his brows still furrowed.

This isn't the first time Eric had come here to ask about such a thing. It has happened many times in the past. And at all times, it was about having Emilia lose her position.

Eric had cooked up many excuses and found many minor faults about Emilia, made detailed analysis of it and submitted the documents along with the proof to the council in person in the past.

But, all of it was for naught as after investigations, the council didn't find any of these issues to be anything major and regarded them as something that could happen to anyone sane. People aren't like magic circles who worked with a 100% efficiency, if cast properly.

They are rational beings who have many thoughts and things to do on a daily basis and some minor mistakes are bound to occur. This was a common thing even among the council members and what Eric had regarded as issues weren't really issues but more of an excuse to have Emilia be fired.

The council realised Eric's ploy and after a few attempts that he made to snatch Emilia's position, they considered him as a jealous person who wanted nothing but to tarnish a reputable person's image and be in her seat.

So, a few years ago, the council felt annoyed by Eric's repeated attempts and what they did was, they first asked him whether the documents he was giving right now was regarding the Principal Emilia Liwet or was it something else. If it was about Emilia, they straightaway rejected him and asked him to leave. If it wasn't, only then did they have a look at it.

"No, no. It's definitely not her. It's someone else. And also, have a look at this document first and you'll understand how important and urgent this is, hehe." Eric said with a small chuckle and handed over a scroll to the man.

The man took the scroll and went through it. At first everything was normal to him as he had read such statements when Eric wanted Emilia to be fired. The statements were same, it was just that the name was changed. It was that of an instructor in school called Arya Relgar.

Of course, the man knew who Arya was. All Emperor ranks knew about each other as there were only around a thousand of them present and knowing and memorizing each person's name and background was easy for these high rank beings.

Everything thing felt normal to the man at the first half but as he read further, his lips twitched and he was trying his best to hold in his laughter. The second half was about how Eric was beaten black and blue by Arya and it was written in a pretty detailed manner. It was a rare occurrence for Empeor ranks to fight with each other as they were all at peace and there was no need to fight among each other.

Reading the scroll felt very entertaining to the man but just as he reached the end of the scroll, he became pretty serious and frowned hard at it. He put the scroll down, looked at Eric and said

"The Human Ancestor has personally signed this document. So the issue is this serious. You should've said it to me beforehand."

Eric covered his face and chuckled. It was exactly this reaction that he wanted to see and he felt a sense of accomplishment from it. Previously, these council members never took him seriously but now that he had a signed document from a Supreme rank, they had to.

The man got up from his seat while picking the scroll up and said to Eric

"Vice Principal Eric, this is a serious issue. I shall take my leave now. Farewell."

Eric nodded his head and he too got up and left after the man. His job was done and now all he had to was wait. Wait until he sees an official announcement from the council and to see Arya's suffering. He muttered while walking out of the council building

"Arya oh Arya, you messed with the wrong person this time. Don't worry though, even if you do lose your job, I shall take you as my personal maid and have you warm my bed. Oh how wonderful it would be to trample upon your pride and make you do things which you never wished for, hehehe."
