Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System-Novel

Calvin mentally laughed at Daimon for having caught the attention of the instructor.

"Being a monster isn't always good Daimon, now this crazy old man will focus in you, while I relax and look for a cutie to talk about the viscidities of life… aghhhh!!!".

While at the beginning Calvin was only thinking, the scream was shouted clear and loud, he turned around to see what happened, and saw Richard hitting him with the same metal staff he used to test Daimon's body sturdiness.

Calvin saw the red mark that the staff let on his shoulder and he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

"Oi old man, not everyone in the class is as abnormal as the class rep you know?".

Richard smiled.

"I'm lucky because the instructor will focus on Daimon for having such a strong constitution", it's what you were thinking right? unfortunately for you, it's the total way around, unlike other members of the Ghrish family, your grandfather doesn't use sand for control, instead he uses a rock armor to pummel his enemies".

"And according to little Ogien, you didn't use sand in you're the first lesson, so it's safe to assume you follow the steps of your grandfather, and that is perfect since you will be the tank of the team".

Calvin was speechless, in his family the only one that used the same fighting style of his grandfather was him, both his father and his aunt used sand which was the method passed down by the side of the family of his grandmother, it was supposed to be a secret but apparently Richard was an acquittance of his family.

Seeing Calvin's depressed expression Richard laughed.

"Old men are quite competitive kid, I have drunk some wine with Charles a couple of times before, and he bragged quite a bit about his grandson, you can blame him for making you look like the most outstanding youth in the beast faction hahaha".

Calvin sighed, "You are just taking revenge on me, because you couldn't brag about Yvonne in front of that old man", he thought.

Richard then walked towards Michael but unlike before hi used the staff to hit Michael's legs, contrary to what one would expect Michael didn't seem to suffer due to the impact of the staff against his body.

Michael rose his pants above his knees and contrary to the rest of his body, his legs were actually quite toned.

Calvin didn't miss the chance to mess with him, because he saw Michael laughing at him when Richard smacked the staff against him before.

"How come you only trained that, do you have a leg fetish or something?".

Both Richard and Michael ignored Calvin's comment, Richard actually nodded seeing Michael withstand the impact of the staff without any problem, of course he used different amounts of strength to test each one of them, for Daimon it was more or less the one of a five-star knight, for Calvin, he lowered it to four star and lastly for Michael it was with the force of a three star.

"Not bad, given your body constitution your fighting style should require a decent footwork, so a strong pair of legs is a must".

Richard contemplated things for a moment before he looked at Boris.

"You've got a good batch… let's play a game, little girls come up the platform please".

Aisha, Yvonne, Liliana and Leslie did as he told and stood a couple of meters in front of Daimon and the rest.

With a little nod, Richard explained the rules of the "game".

"An amateur mistake is to not "get in the way" of your teammates, but the correct thing is to adapt, a team must fight as a whole, when casting a long-range spell, one must have enough control to not hit a teammate even if the target is in a close confrontation with them".

"But to achieve that everyone must be on the same page, so the first step to get used to being bombarded with long range spells, little girls launch as many one-star spells as fast as you can towards these three".

…

Calvin nearly tripped.

"What, we will just stand still here and receive a ton of attacks directly?".

Richard shook his head.

"Of course not, that would be too boring, you can avoid the attacks as long as you remain in front of the girls, given the amount of mana of a one-star mage, we will limit this exercise to five minutes, for the boys if two of you get hit you lose, for the girls if you can't hit the two of them you lose… to make it more interesting the team that loses will have to do push ups until all of them are sweaty".

Yvonne wanted to dig a hole to hide, "You want me and my friends to do this kind of hellish training", she thought.

Leslie doubted for a moment but she still said.

"I'm pretty sure we can destroy Calvin within those five minutes, but Michael specializes in moving and I can't even imagine my attacks landing on a lightning element mage like Daimon".

She still remembers how she couldn't even keep up with Aisha's speed, back when they fought, so it was only logic to suppose Daimon could move as fast as his sister or maybe even faster considering his abnormal performance so far.

Yvonne smiled.

"Don't worry, we also have our triumph card, Aisha can you focus on hitting Daimon while we go for Michael after Calvin is out of the way?".

Aisha nodded, "Of course leave him to me ♥".

Calvin felt aggrieved, "So I already lost for default… well it's not like I focus on speed anyway".

Richard left the platform and the five minutes started.

Daimon and the others immediately dispersed, while the girls started to throw spells as if there was no tomorrow, of course they first targeted Calvin since he was the easiest one hit.

Even then Calvin managed to avoid quite a bit of their attacks, Leslie actually was the fastest one to cast spells, but her fireballs were also not hard to avoid.

"Hahaha, come on you were the ones that said I was easy to hit, so how come I'm still in the game".

Yvonne heard Calvin's provocation and she snorted as she extended both of her hands, unlike fire element, darkness is harder to detect, so before Calvin could react there was a black arrow a few centimeters away from his balls.

"Woahh"

Calvin unconsciously jumped to avoid a catastrophe falling on his little brother, but while he was midair, a fireball and a piece of ice impacted him making his body flew out of the platform.

Liliana patted Leslie's head.

"That's what you get for mocking our Leslie".

Michael saw Calvin half blackened half frozen laying in the ground and he felt a vein popping on his neck.

"Calvin you useless bastard, If you kept your mouth shut you could have lasted a bit more!!!".

Michael stopped scolding Calvin, because the pressure on him suddenly rose, Yvonne, Leslie and Liliana were now focusing on him, but that didn't prevent them from stealing a couple of gazes at the electric show that was going around between Daimon and Aisha.

Even in the fight they were in their own world, thanks to the soulmate status and core synchrony they could share their thoughts with each other, that's how the other girls could talk with Evangeline through Daimon.

Aisha smiled as she augmented the rhythm of her attacks, while Daimon was using a movement skill which made lightning cover his body to augment his speed, Aisha was shooting lightning bolts at him.

"Darling are you really going to make your beautiful mother do push ups until she sweats in front of other people?", said Aisha with a feigned pitiful sad voice.

Daimon almost lost his focus due to his mother's words, which made a lightning bolt almost hit his shoulder, but he managed to lower his body in time to avoid it.

"Mom, that was a low blow".

Aisha laughed; she stuck her tongue at her son.

"You can punish me later ♥, but for now we are in a little war so everything is fair darling".

Daimon smiled, "Well that makes two in the "bad girls list" of today, I guess", he thought.

While Aisha and Daimon were flirting and trying to get a win for their respective teams, the adults were having their own conversation.

"That's my girl, that old man from the Ghrish family will have to listen to you next time father", said Irina with a proudful voice.

Richard was still laughing at Yvonne's way to make Calvin lost his cool.

"It's good to see she remembers what I taught her for self-defense when she was younger, "always aim for your enemy's weak spots", hahaha".

Boris shook his head.

"Instructor… everyone would react the same if a corrosive arrow was shot at that place", he thought.
