I was standing right next to Ama as she was running her tests on Yuna. As expected, it wasn’t anything too extravagant or painful. Yuna just had to stay at her place and the rest was done by Ama and the machines that were stationed in the infirmary. I think calling it an infirmary is more of an understatement. It is an entire lab and nothing less.
"And we are done, thank you for helping Yuna-chan," Ama said taking off her gloves. "These tests will prove to be very helpful in the future of our research to understand more about vampires."
"But don’t you already know plenty about them?" I asked her and she chuckled.
"That is the thing Kazu-chan, I only know plenty and not all. Vampires are very fascinating creatures with how their bodies function and are able to perform just a feat of strength without their bodies gaining any more muscle mass. Otherwise, if a human had to do all this, they had to be at least a muscle monster along with the reflexes of an F1 driver. Not to mention then their big bodies are also supposed to be moving as quickly as vampires do. I think you know what I am trying to say, right?" she asked and I nodded. "And your sister here, is quite an interesting sample, a vampire who is the age of a brand-new critter but still with the looks and body composition of a noble. I mean, given her age, I wouldn’t be surprised if her eyes just randomly wet bright red and she started to cause havoc in the infirmary and if that were to happen, I might have to take matters into my own hands."
"I see…"
"Moreover, let’s not forget you are standing here. We tried some tests on critters on how they would react to even a drop of your blood and they seem to be really violent and get drawn to those few drops but Yuna-chan still being so close to you is not showing any such symptoms. Truly fascinating," Ama said getting close to Yuna.
Yuna swiftly moved away from her and hid behind my back peeking from the side again. I didn’t expect her to be this uncomfortable around people. Well, I don’t really know about the situations she was living in at Dominic’s place so I can’t tell.

I did ask the question to Ama about being a vampire because I was still hesitant to go and try to become a vampire. I realized just how weak I am against someone like Dominic so I had to grow strong and I am desperate too. Even so, I am thinking about it in a more reasonable way too. The offset of the blood killing me through the conversion and me not being able to control myself in time will only cause a lot of problems as if I hadn’t done that already.
"Okay now, time for training!" Ama said cheerfully. Wait what?
"What training are we talking about here Ama?" I asked and she winked at me. "Combat training of course, what is it Kazu-chan? Were you expecting some other sort of training you naughty boy?"
"Combat training it is!" I shouted and rushed out of the room. Someone, please stop this woman. For once I thought she had stopped with these comments but I guess I was wrong. I mean, she did start calling me Kazu-chan again so that should have explained that.
We all went to the training room and I stood on one corner of the room with my katana activated and firmly placed in my waist. Ama was standing in front of me out of her lab coat in a sports bra and leggings. Also, why was she wearing that under her clothes?
"Oh my Kazu-chan, don’t look at me like that. I will start to feel embarrassed~" Ama said teasingly and turned to her side and I turned my face too.
"If anyone will not be embarrassed by wearing this, it would certainly be you Ama," I said still not looking at her.
"That is the plan," I heard her voice in my left ear and I turned around to take out my katana but Ama’s hand grabbed mine stopping me from drawing my weapon. "I’m pretty sure Natsumi-chan taught you this, right? To not take your eyes off your target, no matter what? Don’t tell me you are not a good learner."
"I-I am," I said jumping back and making some distance between us. Yuna was standing right next to Akira looking at the event unfolding from a distance. "It’s dumb of me to not expect you of all people do something sneaky like that."
I drew out my katana and fixed my eyes on Ama. She let out a little smile and reached for her back before pulling out a double-barrel shotgun?! Wait, we are training, right?
"A-Ama-san I-I understand you are not Japanese but can we stick to weapons that do not require g-gunpowder?! Moreover, didn’t you use another weapon before?!" I shouted with a drop of sweat falling down my forehead. "Are you sure you are not trying to kill me?"
"Who knows," she said and charged at me and I started making more distance between us. The problem is that she is using a shotgun which is a highly powerful close ranged weapon so closing in on her would not be a wise choice. Since I have a katana myself, I can’t really be going against her even at a longer range. What do I do then?
"What is this Kazu-chan? Something wrong?" Ama said all the while closing in the distance between us. She aimed the barrel at me.
BANG
"Thank you for today, Koto," I said to the white-haired boy as we stepped away from the now dust corpse of the vampire. I looked back at where her body was. I clicked my tongue and walked away. Her blood was splattered on the ground and I sighed. I have to clean this up."Don’t thank me Senpai. It was my pleasure to be here and be of some help to you," Koto said with a big smile on his face. "But if you really want to thank me, how about you tutor me after classes? I haven’t really been to school since it started so I don’t really know what is going on. Sensei has been busy with stuff and I couldn’t really catch up to classes.""Why don’t you ask your classmates to help you?" I asked him confused. "Aren’t they ready to help you?""Oh them? They would be more than happy to help me. All of my classmates were eager but they are not Senpai. Senpai is Senpai and if he doesn’t teach me, I would fail this year," he said with a cheeky grin on his face."Okay, I will help you," I said and Koto cheered."Yaay, then, I’ll see you tomorrow Senpai," Koto said walking out the door. "Be safe Senpai and if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me."With that, he left the apartment and Akira locked the door after him. I went to the couch and sat down. Yoshi jumped out of my hands onto the floor and walked to another room. I leaned my head back and let out a big sigh. Can’t believe I almost fell for that trick by Dominic. He was trying to push me to feel bad for the vampire disguised as Yuna by saying she is being abandoned. To light the sympathy in my heart.He was just toying with me this entire time.Do I believe Yuna is dead though?No, all this just made me believe she is not. Yuna was someone Dominic shouldn’t be knowing about in the first place. Even if he found out that information from someone, he would not be able to make a perfect disguise making me believe that the vampire was Yuna."The more time passes, the more my urge to kill this man is increasing. He has been toying with me this entire time," I said and looked beside me seeing Ai sitting right beside me. She held my hand really tightly and said nothing. "Oh yea, you are done for today, Akira. You don’t need to stay all night to keep us safe. We won’t be attacked.""How can you be so sure about that Kazu-kun?" Ai asked me."Trust me, the man is taking his time playing with us. He has enough confidence in making these moves knowing we won’t be able to do much. The worst part is we don’t even know the whereabouts of him," I explained and they nodded. "He is done for this night. Who knows what he is going to pull off tomorrow? So, for tonight, rest your body and get ready for tomorrow.""I’m sorry to deny your request Kazuki-sama but I believe I am capable enough of guarding the place all night and still be functional tomorrow," Akira said and I shook my head."No, I still want you to go and rest. If I need you, I will call you in an instant. So right now, go rest,"A bit disappointed, Akira nodded her head and closed her eyes before disappearing from the room. I looked at the place where the vampire was killed and I stood up. Ai still grabbed onto my hand and was not letting go so I just let her be and started walking to get the mop to clean the blood stains along with a broom. Killing her in the apartment wasn’t something I was hoping to do but I can’t really do anything about it now that it is done."I knew we should have done it elsewhere," I muttered under my breath and started mopping. I was having some difficulties like this though since I couldn’t really use my other hand which would help me for support and I looked at Ai. "Ai, do you mind letting go?""No," Ai denied. I stood up straight and looked right into her eyes. She raised her other hand and I got a bit confused. "Give that to me.""Hmmm?" I tilted my head in confusion not sure what she was trying to say there. I looked down at the mop in my hand and then the realization hit me. "Why do you want to do it? I already am up for the job.""Because I want to do it Kazu-kun," Ai spoke. The light shone on her face and I could see a depressed look on her face. "Please…let me…and go to the room and rest.""But I can do i- "
