Chapter 7: Hybrid
Since declaring that he would become Mister Theodore's student or apprentice, the vampire has taught him a lot of things. Lessons about the modern magecraft in Nasuverse and stories about the organizations and how they function. The magus was also training him every day. It involves him running into the forest every day and avoiding being caught by the bloody rabbits. Sometimes, he would transform using Jasper and learn to wield Jasper in that form. Shooting magical beams and flying around the forest.
But today was different. Lately, Mister Theodore was strangely focused on something. He would open his Kaleidobox and look for an object. He also noticed that the vampire was tired. Mister Theodore was sleeping again. And it was longer than the previous time. He was worried. He decided to ask Jasper about it, but the Kaleidostaff answered him that Mister Theodore was fine.
True to its words, Mister Theodore evenly became better. And now, he knows the reason for the recent lethargic behavior of the vampire.
Currently, they were in the forest again. A golden cup was placed on the trunk of the beheaded tree.
Mister Theodore was looking far happier and merrier than usual. He was grinning so widely that he could see the vampire's sharp fangs. And there was also a glint of something in the vampire's eyes. It was also currently in the colored crimson instead of his usual emerald eyes.
" Rejoice my student! "
Jasper started spouting sparkles and something that was called confetti.
" Behold! This is one of the greatest creations of Nasuverse! The legendary Holy Grail. Capable of summoning many famous people of Earth through History, Myth, and Stories! "
He stared at the golden cup. It was surprising that such a thing was a very amazing object. He only thought that Mister Theodore called him so that they could sell the cup for some coins. Mister Theodore suddenly stared at him intensely. He hoped that Mister Theodore didn't know what was he currently thinking.
" This is one of my precious treasures! I spent years making this thing with the help of some Chaldea Staff, My fellow apprentices of the Kaleidoscope, and some Students in the Atlas! It was an amazing thing, isn't it? "
Hesitantly, he nodded his head. The Vampire smiled and started speaking cheerfully.
" And now, as my student, you will be using this holy grail! "
How would he use it? As if reading his thoughts, his teacher started looking at him with his currently crimson eyes. There was a glint of madness within them.
" But first, there are a lot of procedures that must be tackled. I have already had the Holy Grail adjusted and made sure that it would be compatible with this world. Thankfully, this Universe has its version of Earth one of the needed requirements is to summon a servant and it would need this world's magical energy instead of the Nasuverse version. It was a pain adjusting its settings. Thus, it is the reason why I was so lethargic and weak during the last few weeks. My Od has been drained once again. "
Mister Theodore was grinning again as if the matter of losing his Od wasn't worry-worthy at all. He frowned at his teacher's attitude. Feeling guilty and strangely happy.
" I must thank you my student for telling me a lot of stuff about this world. "
Mister Theodore patted his head. It feels nice.
" So on the next procedure... This would become a very dangerous procedure. It is very painful. You can still back out if you want. I know that I have imposed the student position on you and you still haven't acknowledged me as your Teacher. "
Mister Theodore sounds calm when he says those words. But there was a trace of sadness within them. He wanted to tell the vampire that it wasn't true. But he paused. He clenched his fist tightly. Finally, he looks at the Vampire and looks at him with determination.
He wasn't a coward. He would thread forward. It was true that Mister Theodore had imposed the position on him. But he was the one who agreed. Since that day, he learned many things about vampires. Mister Theodore wasn't anything but helpful to him. He wanted to become an adventurer just like the old man Mormalk. He wanted to become strong like him.
He stepped forward and clutched the Vampire's hand.
" I see... so that was your answer huh? " The vampire smiled. The crimson eyes turned back to emerald again. Mister Theodore looks at him gently. " There is no going back. I hope that you won't regret your decision. "
He stared into the Vampire's eyes. It turned crimson again. The next moment, his world turned blank and he was welcomed by unconsciousness.

" Unlucky! "

" Get out!! "
" Monster! "
" Get out! "

" Monster! "

When he opened his eyes. He found that he was in his bedroom and the house. Unlike before he found Mister Theodore, The room was now clean and renovated. The bed wasn't also on the verge of breaking down. It was sturdy and new. His room was also wider.
A wordless yawn escaped his mouth. He decided to get up from his bed and find Mister Theodore and Jasper in the house. But before that could happen, he was surprised to find a red mark on his left hand. From his lessons with Mister Theodore, he knows that the red mark embedded in his hand was a Magic Crest. He stared at his hand. A feeling of awe and wonder was spreading to him. He didn't realize that a smile was unconsciously forming on his face.
The door to his room suddenly opened. He turned his head on the door and adjusted his position on the bed. He has now his back resting on the wall while sitting. Mister Theodore came in with Jasper. He was smiling and carrying food.
" So how was it? Do you like the Magic Crest embedded in you? "
He nodded his head. A smile was forming on his face again as he stared at the Magic Crest. It looks so cool and awesome.
He wanted to express his gratefulness to Mister Theodore. But he suddenly notices something amiss. Now that he looks at it, Mister Theodore is wearing something to cover his left eye. A feeling of dread overcame him. He stared at his smiling master then at the Kaleidostaff Jasper. He left his bed and grabbed the latter.
" Is there something that you want, Master? "
He gestured for a Mirror. Thankfully, Jasper understood and provided a makeshift mirror for him. He looks at his reflection.
Messy brown hair past his pointy ears, a pair of golden bro– he let out a wordless gasp. His feeling of dread was confirmed. A pair of mismatched eyes were staring back at him. On his left side was an emerald eye. He looked at the mirror, he could see the Vampire walk forward and settle beside him. Mister Theodore places a hand on his shoulder.
" How was it? Do you like my gift? One of my mystic eyes just for my student? "
He should be angry. The vampire has left out the information that he would be replacing one of his eyes with a mystic one. But as he stared at the emerald eye. He found that he was grinning. It looks like the craziness of Mister Theodore was somewhat infectious.
{ 'Unlucky' half-elf successfully evolved to a Hybrid. }
He ignored the emotionless voice that resounded in his mind. In the mirror, he watched the emerald eyes turn crimson.
