The Bored Immortal

Viktor was even more surprised that Nyissa, who didn't even meet Taya yet, had already been working on something that could help her extend her life.

"Wow…I don't know how to show my gratitude other than giving away my body to you," Viktor said with a chuckle, making Nyissa blush faintly as she evaded his gaze and said, "Please, Viktor. You really don't have any shame at all."

Viktor laughed it off before asking, "So…tell me how do I join this thing? Is there some center where I can go and sign up? Wish it was that easy, though, but something tells me it's not."

"Of course. For you, it may not be easy since you don't even belong to a clan. Otherwise, it might have been easier for you. Still, you can join by taking the Blood Crest of any warrior."

"Warriors as in the participants of this tournament? And by taking it you don't mean…"

"Yes…you would have to kill them and take their Blood Crest. The Blood Crest is actually a mark that appears on your body to not only show that you are a participant of the Bloodborn tournament but also to show your rank in the tournament. After all, the winner is chosen by the one who still remains number one by the end of the tournament," Nyissa explained.

"Damn…does that mean I have to kill enough to make sure I am at the top? I don't know how I would feel about killing those with who I don't even have any enmity with. Heck, I don't even know them. And now I have to kill a random warrior to even enter this tournament. Haa…seriously, why can't these things be easy?" Viktor said with a frustrated sigh.

"I know…but trust me when I say that most of them who participate in this tournament enter it with the mentality of killing anyone who stands in their way, including the warriors that might challenge them so that they can fulfill their wish. They won't think twice about killing the other person just because they don't know them. All they know is they have to get rid of these obstacles to reach the top, which can also include you. They won't hold back at all," Nyissa warned, hoping Viktor would understand what he was getting into.

Viktor slowly nodded, "Alright…I will take them all on then. If they already knew what they signed up for, then I guess nobody is responsible for what all can happen. Now…how do I find one of these warriors?"

Nyissa sighed and said, "You will just have to wait till you see one or one of them comes to you. But if you are really desperate, then I will think about something and let you know. If I could find someone who deserves to die, then it would be for the best."

"Great. I feel good getting rid of assholes. Just tell me when and where," Viktor eagerly said.

Nyissa softly smiled before remembering something from before as she said, "Viktor…I know you might not be used to the culture and society of the supernatural world. But don't ever let anyone insult your bloodline. Your bloodline or bloodlines are truly special in a way I don't understand yet. Still, I am not telling you to outright offend them if it was a higher power, but just do not believe their words," Knowing Viktor's nature, Nyissa was worried if he might take things a bit too far.

Viktor smiled and asked, "Is this about Vanessa talking trash about our bloodlines? I now realize how sensitive this whole thing is for people like us. But don't worry, if anybody told me such things, then I already consider myself superior to them."

As he said this Viktor suddenly remembered about Tara and Eli, and wondered if their bloodlines had something to do with his being special. As far as he knew his real parents were not humans, though he didn't really have much idea about their bloodlines as well. This is why he thought he could get some answers to these questions from the places Vanessa and Talia were coming from.

Nyissa couldn't help but smile as she shook her head, feeling that she couldn't have expected Viktor to say anything else. She then looked at the skies and continued with a sigh, "Oh no…we have spent too much time here. I forgot I have a class to teach within five minutes."

"Sure. And I forgot…can you go to Umi on my behalf? She probably needs some help from me, but I bet you can do it too. I just have to take care of this Talia business today itself," Viktor said in a tone of urgency.

Nyissa nodded, "Okay. I will tell Ayana to inform you if she finds anything."

Meanwhile, after an hour, it was soon time for a combined art class which was an elective subject for him. And apparently, Viktor also had the same class as Sayana and Tiana. And he was partnered up with Tiana for these classes, where every pair would be given a task to draw or paint.

So Viktor had no choice but to enter the class as Dorian and saw Tiana staring at a blank canvas with a pouting expression. He could already guess what she was thinking about.

He went to back first to pick up his brush and painting stuff when suddenly he felt a soft poke on his back,

"Dorian…"

"Ah! Sayana?? Phew…you almost startled me there…" Viktor said as he scratched his brow with a smile.

"Sorry about that, but…I was just surprised to see you come so late. Just to be safe, I informed the teacher that you were busy with some project and might be late. I didn't want you to lose attendance," Sayana said as she slowly looked up at Dorian.

"Oh…no wonder she let me in without asking anything. I am really glad you helped me out here. Don't know what I would have done without you," Viktor said with a head shake as he looked at her beautiful light green eyes.

Sayana couldn't help but smile hearing his words and shyly looked away upon feeling his gaze on her.

She then remembered something she was planning to ask as she said, "You know Mr. Lucien, right?"

Viktor rubbed his chin before slowly nodding, "Yeah…I think I do know him. What happened?"

"Well, he suddenly encouraged me to join the martial arts tournament for the upcoming college fest, and I was wondering what you feel about it? Should I join?" Sayana asked expectantly as she pressed her lips together.

Viktor took a deep breath and said, "I can't imagine anyone else winning it other than you. You are the best out there. That is what I think. And it would be a pity if you don't prove it to the world as well."

"Really?" Sayana couldn't help but feel immensely motivated hearing his words, and for some reason, his confidence in her made her feel flutters in her heart.

"Dorian! Come here!" Tiana shouted from a couple of feet away after noticing Dorian leisurely chatting with Sayana while she was busy waiting for him here.. So she couldn't help but look at these two with creased brows.
