The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

"Master, a few magical beasts came from the forest to the west. They destroyed most of your manor, and finding nothing to eat, they ransacked your manor again before leaving."

Baron Simmel's eye twitched slightly, and he stubbornly said:

"So what if the arch collapsed? The manor has been in disrepair for years anyway, we might as well tear it down and rebuild it."

"Master, the demons in the north say that we must pay them a few tributes by the end of the month, otherwise they will come to our territory to capture our people themselves. It won't be as simple as paying tribute to one or two people then."

Simal snorted coldly:

"Let them catch us if they want. They're really something if they see a living person in my territory!"

"Master, there's also a major flood in the east of our territory, which ruined your salt-tolerant grain seeds that you just planted in the saline soil."

"They even turned the saline-alkali land to the east into a swamp. The east is now full of miasma. All the people who fled from the east did not make it out; they were all poisoned by the miasma and died on the way."

Upon hearing this news, the gaunt, beggar-like middle-aged baron's eyes twitched slightly. He clutched his chest and said calmly:

"It's okay, I can still manage, please continue."

"Master, the stubborn family in the south says you are unworthy of your position and not fit to be the head of the Thomas family. You might as well hand over the territory to them to manage."

Upon hearing this, Simal spread his hands and looked up at the sky.

A redeeming, relieved smile spread across his face; for the past few years, he had felt like he was living in hell.

They had absolutely no idea how to manage such a harsh environment.

Has the stubborn family to the south finally come to their senses and decided to invade Thomas's territory?

In this way, they can rightfully relinquish their territory without fear of being accused of various crimes, becoming small nobles without territory—how wonderful!

Baron Simmel finally smiled, a rare occurrence, and said from the bottom of his heart:

"That's a good thing! Is there anything bad? Go on and tell me."

"Oh! The last bad thing is that your eldest son Olga has run away, and he even rode off with the only skinny old horse in our territory."

"He kept running around shouting, 'The Salt and Alkali Territory is beyond saving, let whoever wants to inherit this wretched territory inherit it!' and then he ran into the Twisted Territory shouting that he was free..."

Upon hearing this, the scrawny, bearded Baron Simmel immediately became furious and said:

"That unfilial son dared to run ahead of me! No wonder he's been so reluctant to take over my title; he's been planning to run away all along!"

…………

Meanwhile, Maria, sitting in a corner of the cafeteria, felt that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

As a commoner enrolling in the academy, shouldn't she be ridiculed by some nobles who dislike her?

As a result, not a single person mocked her; all the nobles went to mock the minor nobleman named Xu Feng.

Xu Feng gave off an aura of mockery simply by standing there, instantly becoming the focus of attention at the Canary Royal Magic Academy.

Although the news was all negative, Xu Feng became a hot topic of discussion within the academy!

Maria seemed to feel that Xu Feng had taken all the malice from the Royal Canary Magic Academy on her behalf.

I have never experienced any malice since I enrolled in school.

Moreover, she made two close friends at the college.

While Ai Ke'er and Alice listened to their two best friends pouring out their grievances to Maria, complaining about Xu Feng.

In order not to offend anyone, she could only smile and agree.

However, she didn't feel any aversion towards Xu Feng at all. On the contrary, she found him very interesting and was full of curiosity about him.

She imagined that Xu Feng's daily life must be very active and full of joy.

Just looking at Xu Feng's figure made Maria feel much better.

…………

Xu Feng, the influential figure who stirred up the entire academy, returned to that eerie vampire castle that looked like it was haunted.

Xu Feng arrived at the most luxurious bedroom and gave a graceful bow to the skeleton in the coffin.

Goodnight, Sleeping Beauty.

Then Xu Feng collapsed onto a luxurious bed and was quickly lulled to sleep by the four weeping angels.

For some reason, perhaps because he had entered a higher-dimensional world, Xu Feng always felt sleepy at night and would sleep through the entire night.

Midnight.

One by one, the lids of the vampire coffins in the rooms were opened.

That night, the vampires screamed and struggled for most of the night before finally overcoming their fear of the weeping angel and crawling out of their vampire coffins.

Vampires are terrified of creatures with angel wings; it's a fear that flows in their genes.

Elder Nicholas of the vampire clan directed the young vampires to clean up all the weeping angel statues that were placed in the entire vampire castle.

Elder Nicholas of the vampire clan, along with the lower-ranking vampires, arrived with utmost respect outside the vampire queen's palace.

The vampire elder spoke in a reverent tone:

"The Blood Moon is about to arrive, and our vampire queen can no longer remain asleep."

"Is the Vampire Stone ready? It is the key to Her Majesty's awakening. We must place the Vampire Stone beside Her Majesty."

"This concerns the great revival of our vampire clan! We cannot afford to fail!"

"Elder Nicholas, we are ready." A handsome young nobleman said confidently.

"Compared to that, we've heard that Her Majesty's beauty is unmatched. We wonder if we'll be able to catch a glimpse of her in person later."

The young vampire grand duke Draken, self-satisfied with his elegance and charm, said with an air of confidence:

"I'm more convinced that my elegant charm will win over Her Majesty and make her my wife!"

Upon hearing these blasphemous words, Nikolai was not angry at all; instead, he spoke up:

"Her Majesty the Queen is so powerful, elegant, beautiful and charming, it is impossible for her to be interested in you frivolous young men."

Drakeng flicked his baguette-like silver-white bangs and said confidently:

"How would I know if I didn't try? After all, it would be a real shame for such an excellent gentleman like me not to pass on my excellent genes. Besides, I've also heard that Her Majesty the Queen has no children?"

"I feel it is necessary for Her Majesty the Queen to leave behind an heir to guide our vampire clan toward a great revival, assuming she falls into a deep sleep again."

"Alright, you youngsters, be more respectful. When the Millennium Blood Moon arrives, you will witness the greatness of the Vampire Queen!"

As he spoke, Elder Nikolai of the vampire clan pushed open the door to the bedroom, and everywhere he looked were statues of weeping angels.

This scene almost made the vampires scream again in fright.

However, they were much calmer this time. But when they looked closely, the bright moonlight shone through the window onto the bed, causing the thin curtains to flutter slightly.

They seemed to glimpse... a person lying on the bed?
