[Hey guys, the unknown guy here. I just wanted to tell you that this weekend, I was going through my story, and man, the later chapters look so rushed and bland. I mean, I can’t help but facepalm reading this. So please tell me your honest opinions about it and I will try to make the story not bland and rushed at all.]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We stared at the two vampires before us and they both were nobles and looked similar meaning they were twins. That is interesting.
"Oh I see, so this was where Akira was hiding huh?" the one with the green hair said getting in a laid-back stance. "You sure have some guts betraying father like this."
"I never worked for father so I don’t know how you are implying that," she said in a monotone voice.
"But anyway, you have no need to interfere here because all we want is to get the faker and…" the yellow-haired one said and his eyes fell on eyes. "…huh, remind me if the freaks we have met in our life ever looked as exquisite as her."
This kind of seemed to tick of Ai as a vein popped up on her head and I reached for my katana and got in the fighting stance. Even if we have the number advantage, we cannot underestimate our enemies at all. The previous two nobles were killed because of this.
"Don’t think much, father said to bring the both of them so let’s do that. If they are captured, we have no reason to further infiltrate the VEO since it already is a hassle like Ricky said," the one with the yellow hairs said and cracked his knuckles. "But we were never told in which condition we were told to bring them."
"Are you sure? Ricky and the others are down there so we should probably get their help too, it will be more efficient," the green-haired one said.
"Nah Henry, I want to have fun," the yellow-haired one said.
"You never listen to me, Zack."
They both charged at us and all three of us turned on our heels and started running away from the room as they followed us. I had a plan in my mind and looks like Ai and Akira are also catching up on it.
"So, why are we running?" Ai asked.
I guess not.
"Akira, what are their abilities? Do you have any idea?" I asked her.
"How about I tell you? Well, I am just faster so I got here beside you," Zack appeared right beside me in an instance and my eyes widened. "Nah, you guess it."
I felt a kick to my stomach which made me fly across the hall and crash into multiple windows breaking them in the process. They are much weaker than I expected. That kick really was hard as my entire body shook up due to the impact and I could hear Ai shout out my name.
I shook my head and looked up at the two of them engaging in a fight with the nobles. It was honestly really intense looking even from here and it felt like if I entered now, I would be interfering with them. Their ability, huh. What is it?
"Akira, get yourself and Ai to the other end of the floor!" I shouted.
"As you say Kazuki-sama."
"Wai-"
Before Ai could say anything both of them disappeared from there and a table appeared right before the nobles. I did not get to test this but now that I know that, I think I can get use them to my advantage.
While Akira teleports to another place using the ability by exchanging the air around, she also brings the things at that point to where she was before so it was less off teleportation but more of switching places.
"What is a table doing here?" Henry asked and I stood up.
"I have no idea," I said and got in my stance. "But it did help me figure out some things."
I unsheathe my katana and they both charged at me.
So why did I decide to even come here in the first place? Well, that is to lure them into a trap. You know, James is really rich and I can say it after inspecting everything.
I blocked a kick from Henry with the scabbard and pushed him back while I jumped up and somersaulted dodging Zack’s punch. As soon as I got back in the fighting stance, the both of them were already before me but had to step aside as Ai kicked Henry across the face and Akira punched Zack in the stomach making him cough.
"Wow, you two never let me take the spotlight," I said looking at the two.
"I am not going to leave you to fight on your own," Ai said looking back towards me. "How inconsiderate do you think I am?"
"I have already sworn to be on Kazuki-sama’s side and it was not where I was asked to go," Akira said.
"Okay, let’s get really serious now," Henry said.
"Hey, don’t get the party started without me!" a voice came from beside us and I looked seeing a girl with long purple hair tied in a ponytail and sea-green eyes standing there. "You two really just pushed me across the entire district just so that you can fight on your own? How rude of you!"
"Who is this kid?" Ai said out loud and she faced us with dark eyes.
"Who are you calling a kid?!" she said annoyed while puffing her cheeks. Wow, she is acting like her age or maybe how she looks. "Is it because of my height? Too bad but this loli is the only thing you can feast your eyes upon!"
"I don’t want to go to jail so no thank you," I said.
This new entry to the fight just made it even more interesting.
So why did I even come here in the first place? Well, the first one was obviously the glass windows, the second was that every piece of furniture was made of silver here! Just thinking about it tells how absurd it is but it was actually true. James is just that rich. The third was to cause a distraction and it was working so far.
I knew, at the end of the day, they were after me so I came up here to stall as much time as possible while the others take care of the novices, and looks like they acted how I thought. Three nobles were here right before us and if the situation got worse for us, Akira can get us back.
It was a gamble honestly.
But, where is the fun in fighting with only one linear plan in my mind?
That is not who I am.
That was who I never was.
A human stays under multiple masks and apparently, I had more than just two three masks. A bit sudden I know, but let’s start having some fun.
I make stupid mistakes knowing how stupid they are. I make an absurd plan just for the fun of it but I never say it out loud. I always thought it was just me being an edgy teenager but at the end of all, that is what I was.
An edgy teenager who thinks he is living a life straight out of a light novel and manga.
So, what flipped this sudden switch in my mind?
Try guessing.
"Thank you for reminding me this," I muttered under my breath and got my katana ready. "So Ms. Loli, are you going to stay there like that, or are you going to do something?"
"I have a name you know! It is Hagimura Ine!"
"Akira, take care of the loli and Ai, you are with me," I said in an ordering voice and they nod their heads.
"Who are you calling a loli?!" Hagimura shouted.
"You said it yourself," I said and looked at Zack and Henry who got ready as both Ai and I charged at them.
They snapped their fingers and the next thing I knew, I was flying across the rooms yet again and Ai had her neck strangled by Henry.
Wait, what happened?
"Did you figure it out yet?" Zack said in a mocking tone and laughed. "Maybe, this would help you a little."
He said facing Ai and snapped his finger and I looked at Ai who was struggling just to freeze in place. Zack punched her in the guts and Henry let go of her but she was floating in her place. Henry snapped his finger and Ai was flying across the other end at a great speed.
These bastards.
I glared at the two of them as they saw Ai go to the other end. So this is how they are playing, huh.
Very well then.
Three can play this game.
I know a lot more about myself than I did before when my blood just started maturing.
I stood up and the two of them appeared right before me ready to rip off my head but I duck down dodging them and stabbed both of them in the guts. They turned back and held their wounds which healed soon and I wiped the blood off the scabbard and the blade of the katana.
"Looks like there is no more playing around now, time to get serious," I said and stepped aside and hid behind a pillar. My eyes fell on Akira fighting Hagimura and they were at the same level, I could say that much.
"Don’t get your eyes off us," Henry said and appeared on the right of the pillar and Zack appeared on the left of the pillar.
"I could say the same to you two," I said and jumped down from the ceiling cutting Henry’s arm off, and stabbed Zeke in the shoulder. "Isn’t that what your ability is all about?"
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
Yes, they had the ability to slow down and speed up time. I could get that from the little display they showed but as I thought, every ability had some pros and cons, and luckily, I was able to pick up what the cons or more like the limitation of the abilities were.
They had to keep eye contact with their target.
I jumped back with my back against Akira.
"Switch," I said and we turned around and I faced Hagimura and received a kick on my side with I blocked with my katana and Hagimura stepped back and steam started coming out of her leg. "Sliver really hurts vampires, doesn’t it?"
"Hey, changing positions like that is not fair!" she said annoyed and ducked down dodging Ai’s stake and she flew towards me.
I opened my arms wide and let her crash into me and my body somehow took the impact. I saw blood coming from her head which concerned me a little.
"Drink up," I whispered in her ear and her eyes widened and she looked at me.
"Really?" she asked me.
"Did I stutter?"
Without another thought, Ai dug her teeth in my neck and it went through the material of the suit since I could not pull that away. She started drinking my blood slowly and I closed my eyes and let her drink the blood. Her eyes started glowing as she drank my blood and soon, she took her teeth out of my neck.
"Feeding in the middle of a battle? How foolish!" Zack said as he appeared behind us and Henry appeared before me ready to attack.
"Ai, look at me and only me," I said and she looked at me.
I plunged my blade forward at Henry and Ai stuck her stake in Zack’s shoulder on instinct and luckily they connected.
"Wow Akira, I did not expect you to let them get to us," I said looking back at the dirty blonde noble who stood beside us.
"I am terribly sorry Kazuki-sama, I will accept any punishment you bestow upon me," she said to me bowing down but I pat her head.
"It’s fine, take care of Hagimura for me then," I said to her and she nodded. "Let’s get this over with, Ai."
I looked at her and her left eye was glowing bright red and her fangs were protruding out. She lets go of me and was about to charge at the two but I held her hand stopping her and she looked back at me with a confused look on her face.
"But first, close your eyes," I said to her.
"O-okay."
